Chrono Trigger on the DS
Quote:
A new page on publisher Square Enix's Japanese web site reveals that the company is planning to port its acclaimed SNES RPG Chrono Trigger to the Nintendo DS.
Pointing to a directory marked "ctds", the page (pictured left) shows the Nintendo DS logo juxtaposed with the series' iconic clock image. While the page itself is titled "Countdown Clock", there is no indication on the page when the countdown is scheduled to end.
Further evidence of an upcoming port comes from the pages of this week's issue of Japanese gaming magazine Jump, as relayed by users of gaming forum NeoGAF. No translation of the report was immediately available.
Initially released on the Super Nintendo in 1995, Chrono Trigger was later brought to the original PlayStation, complete with animated cutscenes. A sequel, entitled Chrono Cross, hit the PlayStation in 1999.
While the port is only currently set for a Japanese debut, Square Enix has localized nearly all of its recent Nintendo DS offerings. Combined with the title's status as a fan-favorite, an eventual North American release is quite likely.

Chalk up yet another worthwhile game for the DS. It's about time they put this game on a current system too, getting it for the PSone is pretty hard these days unless you shop online (and alot kids' parents are too paranoid for that).
Now if only they'd get around to making a sequel. It's a shame they shut down that fan project to remake Chrono Trigger in 3D.

So it hasn't been stated weather its gonna be a port or a remake has it?
Sadly, I'm not big into the hand held consoles.
BUT I do hope...that if this sells well, Square will see how big the fan base is for this franchise and create a new one for the next gen consoles.

That's the countdown page. I shit a brick when I saw it.
From what I've heard Square planned on making another Chrono game, but never did. Was gonna be called Chrono Shift or something like that.

Because I believe in such a thing as being too late.

It's showing me what time it is at the moment 
Anyway, I guess this is great news for the people who have played the Chrono series or didn't get a chance to. I can't really say I'm hyped because I'm not...mainly because I haven't played them. But based on the reviews of the current Chrono games if this gets good reviews then it might be worth the investment.

Chrono Break actually, they had the name trademarked several years back. Nothing has come out of it yet of course, but Yasunori Mitsuda (composer for CT and CC) has been talking about wanting to compose a soundtrack for a new Chrono game. Tokita (the director) would love to do a sequel as well, but he wants the original team back together if they were to do one, which is why it's taking so long.
Hopefully though, this Chrono Trigger port will show SE that the series is still popular and they might give the old Chrono team a break and let them work on a sequel. |

I really hope this is a remake and not just a port. Unlike with Tetsuya Nomura and his FFVII compendium nonsense, I'm pretty trusting of Tokita to be able to make a remake without significantly changing the original heart of the game. The fact that he's adamant to gather the old team in order to make a new installment is a testament to his design conservatism.

HOLY SHIT!
I logged on to my iGoogle and saw the news on ChronoCompendium.com and thought, "That's weird...it's pretty late for an April Fool's joke, isn't it?"...then I scrolled down and saw the same news on SquareInsider.com and thought, "wait-a-minute...could they both be reporting some site's sick idea of a joke...?"...then I scrolled down and saw "The Clock Ticks on Chrono Trigger DS" on my IGN DS news feed and just about dorkgasmed! >_>
Hooray! A...ticking clock? wtf...Yeah, thanks for finally doing what I've been saying should happen since I saw FFIII DS, but what a fucking tease! "Oh yeah, it's only been 8 years since the last installment, I'm sure they'll be completely satisfied with this..."...V_V
Anyways, I hope it's an awesome remake ala FFIII DS, FFIV DS, and the DQIV-VI remakes...

I played the game briefly on a ROM, so yeah, this is very good news if it comes out over here. I'd snap it up in an instance.

Fantastic news! And here I was contemplating the other day whether I should get Chrono Trigger for the PSX. I've played a little bit of CT on ROM, and I thought it was pretty neat. But I would really like to play it on an actual system now. I've heard great reviews for it, so I'm definitely getting this.
