Chrono Trigger heading to the DS

Chrono Trigger, the classic SNES RPG, is coming to DS. Square-Enix is remaking the adventure for the handheld and, according to Japanese magazine Famitsu, it will be ready for release in the winter.

There is an official site for the game and although it only features a ticking clock at present, anyone who played the SNES original will recognise the sound from the game.

According to Famitsu, Chrono Trigger won't get the same makeover treatment that Final Fantasy III and IV have benefited from. Instead it will be an enhanced port of the SNES original.

Still, that's good enough for most fans. Despite never being released in the UK, Chrono Trigger is highly revered by RPG fans. The time-travelling adventure was released in the US and Japan in 1995 and found many admirers thanks to its brilliant story, multiple endings, plot-related sidequests, active-time battle system and detailed graphics.

This news would all explain why Chrono Trigger was never released for Virtual Console as part of the Hanabi festival. Square-Enix is expected to officially announce the release soon but, for now, take a look at some screenshots of the SNES original.

Set for release in North America in the winter, Chrono Trigger will retain all of the game's original elements while introducing the Touch-Screen functionality of Nintendo DS. There will also be a wireless multiplayer mode and a new dungeon but Square hasn't elaborated further on these new features.

Chrono Trigger was never released in the UK but is often hailed as one of the greatest RPGs of all time and the remake once again features Yasunori Mitsudathe's amazing musical score which is the perfect soundtrack to this time travelling adventure.

In the game, Crono travels through time to rescue his unfortunate companion from an intricate web of past and present perils. The swashbuckling adventure that ensues soon unveils an evil force set to destroy the world, triggering Crono's race against time to change the course of history and bring about a brighter future. It's a great story and also one that has multiple endings and side-quests.

Heard the game is great so I may get this when it arrives here. I could have sworn it was released in the UK. I'm sure I saw it being played on a PAL SNES.

Is the game really as good as it's said to be or is it overhyped?

One of the great RPGs back in the day. No overhype here.

OMG YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS

I don't even care if it's a direct SNES port. MUST OWN THIS

This is one of my 2 favorite games ever, tying with FF7. Enhanced CT with new dungeon is even greater than MM9 announcement. Hopefully this does well so theyll get off their asses and make me a damn CT4 already. Radical Dreamers and Chrono Cross are fine but I'M READY FOR MOREZZZ

Oh, Square Enix and their ports. No wonder they're barely supporting Nintendo's Virtual Console. They're making a crap load off their over priced ports. Hell, I wouldn't support the Virtual Console if I could sell millions of copies of a ported game for $32 more a pop.

I heard about the news probably as soon as it hit North America (gotta love GoNintendo.com) and everyone is crapping their pants.

I've never played Chrono Trigger, but I'm willing to try it. I'm sure it's over hyped, but it's always been talked about as one of the greatest games ever made by pretty much everyone.

The DS is becoming a great handheld for retro games or retro style gaming.

It's pretty much the 16 bit RPG, man. It set the bar pretty fucking high. Now if only they'd port FF7 to the DS, I'd be set.

Yea, the only 16-bit RPG that is in its league is FF3/6. In terms of English releases anyways. Seiken Densetsu 3 is pretty amazing, as is Tales of Phantasia and the original Star Ocean. If you've never played them, you should download the roms and get translation patches off of zophar.net, you'll be glad you did.

Edit: Also, I better get my PS3 remake of FF7 before they port the original to DS or I'll be PISSED. That damn tech demo teaser played too much with my emotions for me to settle for anything else. /fanboy response

FF6 is still better. But let's not let a minor issue like that get in the way of much praise for Chrono Trigger :love:

Couldn't have said it better myself.

This makes me a very happy man.

I don't know if I'd say it's the best game of all time or whatnot, but Chrono Trigger is a damn fun game--which is more than I can say for a lot of modern RPGs--and is more than worth your time.

1st Japanese Trailer

If you haven't played this, and you own a DS, no excuse, now is the time to see what you've been missing.

There's a reason Crono is my avatar >.>

GOD that trailer. Want to play it so bad right now. I love CT's soundtrack so bad. Zeal theme is the goods.

I just jizzed all over the place. TWICE NIGGA TWICE

Ok....time for me to find my SNES and pop it in again

Shit, it's not like they couldn't afford to touch up some of the sprites at least. My only complaint right there.
