Chrono Trigger DS European Release

[JPH]

Chrono Trigger DS Trailer
Seems like Europeans are going to have to wait until early 2009 until you get your hands on a copy of Chrono Trigger DS.

Europe will have to wait until "early 2009" for Chrono Trigger DS, Square Enix has told Eurogamer, but will be only "a few weeks" behind the US "holiday" launch.

Originally and fondly remembered as a SNES role-playing title - albeit not one released in PAL land - Chrono Trigger follows Crono and friends on a time-travelling adventure to change the present and events still to come. Sort of like Back to the Future, but with swords and fewer proms.

The DS revamp will make use of touch-screen controls, two screens, feature a new dungeon, and include some sort of wireless play.

"It gives me great pleasure to see Chrono Trigger being released in Europe and the PAL territories," said John Yamamoto, boss of Square Enix, who must himself be in the future if he's seen it released in Europe.

Graphically little appears to have changed, as you can see in our Chrono Trigger DS gallery. No bad thing, as Akira Toriyama's character designs were great the first time around.

...but that's totally against one of the major conveniences of owning a flashcart!

1 down, 2 to go.

You guys still need Super Mario RPG and Earthbound.

 

[Toni Plutonij]

Well there are going to be translations, probably....

So, yeah.....Japan+translation=win......US=win........I don't even care for European release!!

 

[GameSoul]

Looks like I'll just get the U.S. Release either way.

 

[jalaneme]

Who will play the US release?

*raises hand up*

This is like the Brawl release thing, only that there is a "few weeks" gap and us PAL gamers can play the game straight away when it's released in the US.

Its not about being screwed. Its about PAL territories having many languages to cover. Its not like Squeenix just said "Hey, we loves us some Japs, and some Yanks... but fuck everyone else! They'll wait!" Its because of having to implement the multiple translations into the game for those areas. US usually has English, and thats it. EU releases have English, French, Spanish, Finnish, Sand Script, Atlantisesse, Bulgarian, Elvish, and Pig Latin. Those take time to implement.

Hmm... with that said, now i'm going to wait for the PAL release, cause i'd LOVE to play Rono-Chay Igger-Tray. "Rono-Chray. Rono-Chray. Ime-tay oo-tay et-gay up-ay!"
Holy shit. I wonder if i can work on a Pig Latin translation for other games.

I'VE FOUND MY CALLING!!!

Yes, but in the SNES era most games only included one language. It would've been considered normal to be just English back then.

Pfft, its still normal to be English. Now, its just that we have to be "tolerant" of other people that don't "speak English" goodly.

I love you WildWon..

Heh. Funny way to reply to my comment about the lack of multilingual games.

 

[Minox]

It doesn't matter if they postpone the European release date, I would still download the version that is dumped first even if that is the Japanese version.

 

[Diablo1123]

I need to learn Japanese just because they get games first
