Chrono Trigger DS official website online

If there are to be graphical changes, I hope everything to be 2D.

Also I guess I should say the all important fucking eh!

 

[granville]

Now if only there was a Mario RPG DS remake...

I know it's coming to the Wii VC, but I can dream...

US site is open

From Siliconera:
"Many informed forum posters have claimed this to be real and that the game will be an enhanced port of the SNES original with extra content (think FF GBA titles) and polished visuals. We'll see whether or not that's true soon enough!

I guess this confirms a US release!!! Wouldn't it be weird if this was released in the US at the same time as the Japanese one?

One thing I'm sure we can expect is a new translation akin to Chrono Compendium's retranslation. I REALLY want to see some screens and music of the remake!

 

[Hitto]

Meh.
I can already play it for free. On DS. On PSP. Shit, I'm wouldn't be surprised if there was a SNES emulator on iPod.
Maybe if they shat out a proper SEQUEL for once? Not like the shit-infested chrono cross, pleeeease.

Sorry, but squeenix won't get my money anymore. RELEASE NEW FUCKING GAMES, GODDAMMIT.

Don't buy it and let the ones who want it enjoy it?

 

[kevenka]

Classic man...you gotta love a remake..

 

[xcalibur]

This totally made my day. I would love it if the battle menu's could be done by touchscreen, making ATB a lot more efficient.
I wouldn't mind any graphical updates but I really would prefer if they didn't go 3d.

 

[raulpica]

Hell yeah. Chrono Trigger DS.

Now gimme Mother 1+2+3 on DS and we're totally set.

 

[WildWon]

Oh man. First Kirby Superstar Deluxe. Then Diablo 3. Now CTDS.

Its like when they first announced the Spiderman movie. And when they first announced a live action Transformers movie.

Except there is no way in hell these games will disappoint! *grabs some wood... and knocks on it

[CockroachMan]

I'm against a graphical remake, I felt that the game was beautiful and perfect as it is. I'd still like to see how they will do this, but I don't see the point, just stick it on VC instead or maybe a RPG classic compilation for DS which will have this and a couple of other Square/Enix titles.

But I guess that SE want mega moneys.

Oh well its not like I don't have the original anyway.

From the scans, seems like just a port to me (unless those are just images from the SNES version).

Yeah, the original FFIII and FFIV had some very simple graphics.. so it was nice to see a graphic revamp on those. But Chrono Trigger is one of the prettiest games on the SNES, a 3D remake with DS graphics would be probably uglier than the original.

I'm hoping to see some new content like the FF GBA remakes had.. some new sidequests would be nice

 

[thedicemaster]

for those who can't keep their eyes off the clock:
step1: get the clock in screensaver format at http://narutrans.freehostia.com/ChronoTrigger.scr (right-click save as)
step2: place it in C:\windows\system32 (required for step4)
step3: download and install vital desktop from http://narutrans.freehostia.com/vd142.zip
step4: using VDconfig located in the vital desktop folder select chrono trigger
step5: activate vital desktop and configure it to your preferences
step6: enjoy your soundless chrono trigger DS clock wallpaper.

it uses your computer time to set itself.

Ummm... good god... this was unexpected...

It's not a countdown clock. It's just a normal clock. I decompiled the swf files this morning to see if I could find any undiscovered media (I didn't find any, checked both NA and JP sites), and found this:
CODEÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂdate = new Date();
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂhari0.rotation = date.seconds / 60 * 360;
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂhari1.rotation = date.minutes / 60 * 360;
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂhari2.rotation = date.hours / 24 * 720 + date.minutes / 60 * 30;

It's just getting the current time and setting the clock's hands accordingly.

 

[IBNobody]

I don't care if they update the visuals. I just hope they keep the SNES soundtrack. The PS1 remake had an altered soundtrack.

I also want a new boss that requires some serious leveling up to beat. (Multiple "New Game+" playthroughs.)

 

[airpirate545]

I never played Chrono Trigger before but everyone is always telling me how awesome it is. Would be good to experience on the ds.

 

[WildWon]

So, uh... anyone have any ideas how to get that working as a desktop for a Mac? (hopefully w/out installing anything... since i'm doing this at work

)

 

[Master Mo]

I hope they do a Port or Remake similar to what we see SE is doing with FFIV... Like rearranged music and 3D-grafix...

Maybe I'll play this and actually finish it this time. I played it on the PS1 and loved it but got to a trial and was found guilty and had to break out and ended up having to fight some kind of machine on a bridge and could never beat it. How far in was I?

Not very.
