Chrono Trigger travelling onto DS News
DS News by Robert Purchese
Square Enix appears to be refitting Chrono Trigger for DS.
Initial evidence came from scans of not-often-wrong Japanese magazine Famitsu, which was later backed by a "Countdown Site" featuring a big clock and the abbreviation "ctds" at the end of the URL.
We've no idea what the site is counting down to, but an E3 announcement is probably a reasonable guess.
Chrono Trigger is the SNES role-playing game from 1995 that had you and your party travelling through time to save the world. It had multiple endings, side-quests, character development, a funky battle system and deservedly sparked wide critical acclaim. It also had the best videogame frog ever.
Tom says it was one of the best games on the SNES.
Square Enix was unavailable for comment.

I'm not sure if I want a 2d version like the SNES one or a 3d remake like Final Fantasy 3 and 4. Enjoyed FF3 quite a lot on the DS but I also adore the 2d look of the SNES games. Still, if this finally makes it to Europe (although I really don't care because I can just import the US one) this is great news.

No, I'm sure the clock takes your system time. It's just that everyone is so excited they haven't spotted it yet...
Don't get me wrong, I'm curious seeing as I hear the game being mentioned all the time but having never played a Chrono game, I'm still sane :-) |

@ Hiddenaway:
You're one of the lucky ones then. I'm generally excited that they'll bring Chrono Trigger to the DS, but having played the SNES version to death, back to life and then to death again, I know the game too well to experience it all over again. Therefore, enjoy your first time on it, since the game is absolutely worth all the praise ;-) |

They haven't said if it's a port, not that it would matter if it is. But it could be a full remake, like Final Fantasy III and IV on the DS. Can't say this news is surprising though, it was just a matter of time. Now, when will we see the Earthbound/Mother games? |

Im probably seen as a lunatic by most by saying this, but..for me, Cross is a better game than Trigger. Both are epic, but if I have to choose one, it would be Cross.
The Square PSX-era games are unbeatable. Xenogears, Cross, Vagrant Story, FFTactics topping the list.

I actually like 3D games on the DS, they look clean and run smoothly, like the N64.
It's the PSP I have more of a problem with, even though it technically has better graphics, they look more dated and ugly, and almost always tend to run at sub 30 frames a second. Final Fantasy IV on the DS looks beautiful, even though it's pretty basic.

Anyone else a bit dissapointed as surely this means we won't see the original on VC any time soon. Been waiting on this for a while, and paying £30 for a DS game I'd been looking to download for £7-8 seems a ballache. On a side note I sorted all my stars out and have about 3000 points. any recommendations (no N64, still have mine and all the games including Sin and Punishment). Already have Gunstar Heroes, SSFII, Bomerman and Actionloop Twist. Was debating Link to the Past or Super Metroid. Ideas?

"Anyone else a bit dissapointed as surely this means we won't see the original on VC any time soon."
The whole VC deal is dissapointing! The library of games is too small and not enough quality titles are being added to it . And Nintendo doesn't even care for giving us 60hz versions of the games. Why would I even pay for such? I'm glad there's the option to use a SNES emulator on my Wii. |
