Will it see stateside? Probably not, I'm betting.

Surely there's a large enough fanbase here to warrant it. It's not like you can get it anywhere else.

There's an NA version of the countdown site, so that's pretty much confirmation the game will see a Western release.

That said, this announcement tears me up inside. I never played Chrono Trigger, so I should think about picking up the DS version. But I hate old-school RPGs with a passion and common sense tells me that Chrono Trigger is not going to stand out from that. And yet on the other hand, Chrono Trigger has made the top five in every "Best Game Ever" list I've ever read (except metacritic/gamerankings), but that's probably because it was groundbreaking for the time, rather than universal popularity.

The DS lineup is lacking though, so I probably will buy it to give me something to do. But then again, it will be hard to pull Soul Bubbles out of my console (Now released worldwide!).

PS: And there must be an option for stylus control! Buttons no longer satisfy my needs.

And it's been confirmed for the states!

[Green Goblin]

'bout time they re-released this.

I probably won't get it though. I've already got it on SNES, PS1 and emulated on my PSP. The luxury of having it portable has been available to me since the swaploit method

It's a shame that it's not the mythical "Chrono Break" which was trademarked so long ago. Still, it is awesome that they are re-releasing it with new features. Hopefully they will keep the anime sequences of the PS1 version, as far and few as there were. Revamping it with 3D graphics like the FF re-releases would be nice too.

[Sephrenia Katrov]

Oh God, yes. I love this game.

So much stuff is coming out so quickly, it's not even remotely fair.

[Veteran]

Chrono what? Is it a series? Strange I've never heard of it seeing as aaaalll the best stuff gets released over here.

Really? I much prefer the sprite versions to the official art and cut scenes...

Rather ugly:

[SL the Pyro]

I never liked those DBZ-styled animations and facesets. But I loved the game.

[DarkJuno]

For a second I was worried that this would end with "Huh? Oh, no, that's just our new day planner for the DS!"

But alas, no riots in the street, and even if this is just a poirt, to hell with that, I'll get it.

[JRPomazon]

I personally loved this game. An excellent story and great game play. I'm really excited about this, but I'm not sure whether or not I'll buy it for DS.

[Green Goblin]

if it comes with maybe an ending watcher, I'll probably consider it.

[SL the Pyro]

This game is supposedly coming with some form of multiplayer as well, but hell if I know how that will work.

[Showsni]

Maybe you choose a party member, and then get to control them in battle...

[Selena]

I guess we can prepare for another wave of being Robo Roll'd.

[Iron Knuckle]

It's almost time. Who's going for it? Finally, a game I wanted to buy for quite a long time.

[deep]

It's coming out TOMORROW?

I saw it in GI months ago and figured I'd never actually see it released.

I'm definitely getting this.

[JRPomazon]

I thought it was only being released in Japan for now?

[Iron Knuckle]

Of course, not! I'm really looking forward to this, because Chrono will make it over to the Euro zone this time round as well.

<<<---- Go Janus!

[SnowsilverKat]

Maybe I should get this.

I played the game a few years back, though I should probably invest in a copy for myself. Hm.

[Sir Deimos]

one of my favorite games ever... unfortunately i am incredibly broke, so iunno if i'll be picking it up right away...


i wants too thought <3

[bbtmfe]

WOOOOOOH i think that it will ba AWSOME...

[deep]

So I went into several stores today, none of which had it. Apparently a November 25th release date means that it isn't going to be released on November 25th.

[Sir Deimos]

or they could be sold out... i got mine yesterday, in spite of trying to be good with my money...

November 25th is the ship date. Those trucks have to get from the west coast (where games typically ship from) to the east coast. Takes more than a day.

[Raien]

Be prepared to revive this topic in six months time when this game will (hopefully) get a release date for Europe. Ugh, ****ing Japanese publishers. American publishers don't cause these massive delays for Europe, so Japan has to be doing something wrong (I presume a general lack of interest in the European market).

Funny story. I came back yesterday, the 26th, and got my copy and the same cashier was there.

He was like, "Oh hey! It's you! Dude, about 30 minutes after you left, we were looking around in the stock room and we totally found all our copies of it! It was there the whole time! We were like 'ooooh sucks for that guyyyy!'"

I smiled, but I was frowning on the inside.

BUT I HAVE IT NOWWWW
