HUGE rumor…hopefully will be confirmed/denied soon. This was emailed me to our good friend, Creamsugar.

Famitsu news will be in later tonight. If this turns out to be fake, it is not Creamsugar's fault at all. He found the image while checking out 2CH. I will keep my eye on this, but you can also keep tabs at the link below.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Man I freaked out when I saw the SE teaser page.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Also, if Chrono Trigger is getting released, I'm sure we'll see Super Mario RPG for sure.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Hahah!!! lol. I mean I just never thought CT would be re-released for DS. And since Nintendo was also behind SMRPG, don't you think that is possible now more than ever?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

What the hell is Square doing. That's ridiculous.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Chrono Trigger DS will look great on a small screen I LOVED playing it on my PSone screen. It looked the best out of all the other games I played on it.

Trailer was kinda cool, could of been better.

How ya doing, buddy?

I'd rather they keep it classic and not do 3-D unless it was done to perfection.

FELIPE NO

Agreed.

Well it seems that all of us prefer the classic 2D style. i just hope the music is on par.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

July 16, 2008 - Apparently, Chrono Trigger is a Very Big Deal Indeed. It's one of the most highly coveted Square RPGs this side of the Final Fantasy series, and when Square Enix revealed that the game would be making the move to the Nintendo DS gamers were both elated that their precious SNES game would return, and crushed that the game wouldn't show up on the Wii Virtual Console.

Chrono Trigger made an appearance at the Electronic Entertainment Expo, and it looks as good as the Super NES game did back more than a decade ago. Aside from a flashy full-motion video animated introduction and some snazzy touch-screen elements, the game's not trying to be much but a revival of the original 16-bit game, right down to the pixel art and 2D tiled worlds.

The Nintendo DS game was fully in English -- not surprisingly since the game's already been localized a couple of times prior, once on the Super NES, and a second time on the original PlayStation. The E3 demo started with the lead character Chrono (or whatever you decide to name him from the start) getting out of bed and heading off to the square to meet his crew who's set up their newest invention: a transporter. Along the way, Chrono meets up with a mysterious girl who ends up getting zapped through a portal after a transporter malfunction. Chrono hops off after her and the adventure begins.

The Nintendo DS version features a straightforward visual conversion, but the controls have been given a tweak or two: you can choose to play the game with traditional D-pad/button controls, or use the stylus on the touch-screen to maneuver the characters on the top-screen. The touch screen will have contextual buttons popping up to make navigating menus easier, but mostly the extra display is for a overview map of the area you're currently in. The DS game has an automapping feature for when you're exploring the monster-infested woods or other areas, drawing up the maze as you uncover it.

The touch screen works pretty well, but it gets a little awkward when you enter battles, as you have to choose your targets via buttons that don't directionally correspond to the enemy in the same way as the targeting system is controlled with directional-pad pushes.

But for the most part, the Nintendo DS game looks to retain much of what made the original Super NES game so awesome. It's tough to get the full experience of an incredibly deep role-playing game at an event such as E3, so we'll be sure to follow this hands-on with a deeper one after the show.

IGN: Chrono Trigger DS Preview

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'm confused. You guys are talking about Nu Spekkio? Is that just his final form at the end of time? I have played the game in forever, and is he the toughest challenge in the game?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Still, Red Nu is the hardest legitimate battle, for any team. Ocean Palace Lavos is designed to be impossible, except for New Game Plus players.

Where is Red Nu located at? What point in the game I can't remember.

I won't get my hopes up.

Sounds interesting. I'm hoping for a sequel obviously. But I'll be happy with another cool ending. Whatever.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Hmm I never read anything about that, interesting. Could you provide a link to picture regarding the scrapped dungeons? And is that beta cart available in rom format?

Thanks.

Actually that piracy protection thing was fixed the same day it was dumped online.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
