Before I even click the link, I am going to guess it's Chrono Trigger for DS.

EDIT: I saw a lot of stuff there, but I couldn't make heads or tails out of it. Perhaps I clicked the wrong buttons or didn't wait long enough. *shrug* I still stand by my initial guess, though, by the mere letters "CTDS" in the URL.

Hmm, and here I thought they were planning to make the game downloadable through the Virtual Console.

Ah well, Crono on the go sounds good. Hope there are new features then just it being a simple port. Only then, will it be worth getting in spite of having the original.

Here's some scans/info:

July 7th will be new update day, we thinks.

One of my favorite games of all time on a DS for a change? Finally, an excuse to get rid of Portrait of Ruin!

Press release!

I nearly had a heart attack when I saw "CTDS" this morning. I'm a big fan of the two Chrono games, and I was really hoping to hear about something new for the series. Heck, I've had a Chrono Cross clock sitting on top of the TV set for years. I'd rather have had a sequel instead of a port/remake, but this is great news nonetheless!

At this point, I'd rather get a remake to take advantage of the DS instead of a simple port + a few new features. Hopefully this will turn out better than the Final Fantasy III DS remake did: this game deserves better. I'm a bit torn between wanting a 2D upgrade or a 3D version...

All things considered, Squenix sure has a lot of RPGs on the way for the DS:

  • Final Fantasy IV
  • Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles thingy
  • Dragon Quest IV, V and VI
  • Dragon Quest IX
  • And I probably forgot a few

Please let this be a nice remake, please let this be a nice remake, please let this be a nice remake...

I was actually hoping this one would be on PSP, possibly bearing a strong resemblance to Chrono Trigger Resurrection. Still, ANY remake is welcome, and I'll probably preorder this regardless.

Wait a minute... SE got the rights to enhance/remake/rerelease CT... If this is true, what's to stop them from commencing Chrono Brake? If I'm not mistaken, they all want to continue, but the splintered team and rights were holding them back.

Not to sound all negative or anything but, I really doubt they will ever continue the Chrono Break project. They've been going at it for years and in between they've quit and dropped it several times. What's to say this will be any different?

Hey shut up, they can do anything

Especially since Horii and company are sorta barely together since Squenix merged. I wish they'd just do it and get it overwith before someone dies over there, seriously.

Also I'm selling my body for this game

Hey, guess what, guys? You know how this was supposed to come out around Christmas? Well, apparently, it's been delayed to early 2009:

http://gonintendo.com/?p=54949

Of course, the question that begs to be asked here is HOW DO YOU DELAY A PORT. IT'S A STINKING PORT. THIS ISN'T ROCKET SCIENCE. Hell, you could whip up a cheap emulator for the DS card and just run the original off that!

I'd rather get a delay than a sloppy port: the PSX version of Chrono Trigger suffered from some nasty slowdown, it'd be nice to avoid problems like these this time around.

If they add everything from the PSX version, have quick load times like the SNES version, and add new features including the use of the Touch Screen, a new dungeon, and new items, won't this be like, the best game ever?

I wasn't planning on getting this DS version, since I have the SNES version and the PSX version, (although, it's primary usefulness is to take up space and collect dust) but the more I think about the potential new features, the more antsy in my gaming pantsy I get. :D

I want it for two reasons:

1. I've been emulating CT for years and I think it's time to actually BUY it. XD

2. Ever try to do the 2300 AD code on a keyboard? IT SUCKS. Don't list the tricks, I've done 'em all and it always manages to be a tremendous effort somehow.

I didn't have a problem with 2300 AD, even the 3 buttons at once thing. If that catches you up, just assign the buttons to the same key. Otherwise, I never had a problem with 2300AD other then the somewhat annoying jet bike race :P

Seems the Wifi mode = monster catching = we're trying to look like pokemon now?

Ah well, it's CT, so I'll be getting it.

Pokemon, eh? Weird, but if there are some exclusive, new, useful items obtainable, I guess it's not so bad. I'll need Wi-Fi for my DS though.

I would raise an Alien from the Black Omen for sure! Ugly brutes...them and their Death attacks.

So, has anyone been playing this game yet? What am I saying? Of course you have/are.

I love the cache of new items and the two new side quests.(One of which uses the unreleased Singing Mountain track.)

Side Quest spoilers...

Spoiler (click to toggle)
The Lost Sanctum is just a gang bang of jobs, which involves climbing up and down a mountain more times then you can count, and the Dimensional Vortex, which can only be visited after completing the game and is located in three different time eras, has some pretty *interesting* bosses.


I gotta say though, the new items really make the game feel newer. Some of them are just plain overpowered, but not so much that it deviates from equipment strategizing.

Equipment spoilers...

Spoiler (click to toggle)
Magus' new Dreamreaper (x4 damage on critical hit), the Valor Crest(critical hit rate up and %50 counterattack rate), Regal Gown (Auto-Barrier and Auto-Protect) the Master Crown (damage increase and status immunity) and the Angel's Tiara(Auto-Haste and status immunity) are just to name a few.


I've still yet to beat...

Spoiler (click to toggle)
The Dream Devourer, accessible after completing all three Dimensional Vortex areas.


Come to think of it, I actually purchased a copy of Chrono Cross brand new recently, and I still have to beat it.

Chrono Cross spoiler...

I just reunited Serge with his real body.

I didn't get it yet, I had to make a break during last Autumn's crazy line-up. It's near the top of my "games to buy" list, so I should start playing it within a few weeks!

I've played CT so much that the main game on here is just preventing me from getting to the new stuff. So I haven't been playing much.

But it's nice with the monster arena, gives me something extra to do on the side.
