DS getting Chrono Trigger??

*points to the url* CTDS and a timer can most likely only mean one thing. Chrono Trigger is coming to the DS. However, this is just a countdown site.

I might be the only one but I find that ticking sound to be odly familiar...but that could just be me

A new page on publisher Square Enix' s Japanese website suggests 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 offered as to when the countdown is scheduled to end.

Director Takashi Tokita had previously suggested a DS remake of the game was feasible, assuming " demand is great enough."

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. A winter 2008 release was suggested for the Japanese edition, though a direct translation of the report was not available.

A screenshot contained in the Jump article appears to show the game in its original 2D graphical style. Several previous Square Enix DS remakes—including Final Fantasy III and Final Fantasy IV—have made use of 3D graphics engines, while others, such as Front Mission, remained 2D.

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.

Square Enix' s gratuitous use of compressed full-motion videos in its existing DS lineup—including Final Fantasy III, Final Fantasy IV and Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings—implies that the developer would have no issues fitting the animated cutscenes on a DS cartridge.

Though the article and countdown only suggest a Japanese release of the project, 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

Until the official site is updated, no other information is available at this time.

Or you could just play the Snes version on DS using an emulator.

Already played the Snes version of the game. Actually liked it more than any Final Fantasy I played.

Hoping it' ll be a complete new game or atleast have a bunch of added content but that will most likely be to much to ask for from Square.

Or it could be some remake?

Which would be what I' m hoping for in that case. Some added features would indeed be nice. Apart from the more obvious touch screen things then.

According to Famitsu it' s an updated port.

Worth buying a DS for? I never played the original, too young sorry.

It' s a good game if you haven' t played it, I wouldn' t buy a DS for it as I' ve beaten it on SNES and PS1.

Hm, I' ll see how different it turns out then before considering buying it.

No more countdown but a little teaser

For some reason it made me smile seeing that again.

Perhaps this time i' ll finish it.

Very good news. Wonder what kind of extras are we getting. Hopefully no kind of shoddy touch screen mess.
