Maybe thats why CT is being rereleased, to bring up the series hype and catch new fans which will ultimately lead to the release Chrono Break.

wh00t!

Wow :| I picked a good day to check on the DS forum. :lol: I can't tell, is this a port if the first CT or is it a sequel? TwilightSoilder

Im pretty sure its a port.

Dragon Quest+Crono Trigger+Sonic RPG (MY GOD! Tails fights again)+Final Fantasy= My favorite system ever.

Hell yeah. And you would think that they would wait until E3 if anything. Glad to see FF and DQ arent the only series getting attention.

You havent played it yet? I played through it for the first time last week and it blew me away. Its not as difficult as Dragon Quest but its every bit as epic.

The DS has won. Nothing will stand in it's way.

Ever.

I must be a sucker since this sounds like something I might actually want to buy despite having beaten the SNES game several times.

I can't possibly be that gullible.

Huh. Elebits DS too.

There also seen to be whisperings of Suikoden VI on the PSP and a new Tales game on the Wii. I fully expect the Internet to explode by tomorrow morning.

What did I miss when I was gone today?

Bio_Spark

Theres also evidence that theres another Tales game for the DS. Tales of Heart DS

Holy friggin crap man!:shock:

That is awesome!!!:D

It also has like 13 different ending and I love the Sound Track. Crono happens to also be one of my favorite gaming characters of all time along with Tails XP. Chrono Trigger is an epic game. If you like the Dragon Quest Series, then I think you like Chrono Trigger.

Ive personaly been hyping it since 2004 when it was announced... It looks that great.

Do you think they will leave the game unmodifed when they put it on the DS? What I mean is do you think it will be the same experince as the SNES version or do you think they will add new stuff to it? I'm personally torn on which way they should go. :?TwilightSoilder

Square Enix are experts when it comes to remakes and ports (Lol) so chances are they wont tarnish the original gameplay story, or overall experience of the game. You have nothing to worry about ;)

i am soooooooo happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D i am glad to own a ds:).

So far all the DS games have been Remakes. So it is likely So well Chrono Trigger. If it not thoguh I would not bug me. I mustly want to see the music remastered. It got great music, even today (at least I think so XP).

Not really excited about another port.

But yeah, SE is the master of ports and remakes.
