Japanese Chrono Trigger DS “Site” Launched…

Well as I mentioned last night, something cool was about to happen… in Japan, at least. They’ve opened up a domain for the game: http://chronotrigger.jp. Meanwhile if we go to http://www.chronotrigger.com/ we see what was once a Chrono Trigger fansite, but now down for “reconstruction.” The same thing happened with Diablo3.com though, it was once a fansite but then Blizzard took it over, so Square-Enix could be doing the same thing here.

Anyway, the Japanese page for Chrono Trigger DS now has a spiffy intro movie, as well as a big chart telling about the game but in some foreign language unknown to man so we can’t read it! Meanwhile in North America, nothing good happened! There’s not even a countdown! Just a clock! Who needs clocks?!

Lavos will strike again this Holiday Season with Chrono Trigger DS!

Shortly after launching its “Countdown Site,” Square-Enix has officially announced that one of the greatest games of all time, Chrono Trigger, will be making its return to the hands of gamers everywhere, in Chrono Trigger DS. Unlike the Final Fantasy and Dragonquest remakes, Chrono Trigger’s graphics will not be getting a graphical overhaul, however will be reformatted to fit the DS’ dual-screen set-up, and add touch-screen functionality. They also plan to add in a new dungeon as well as some sort of “Wireless play” mode, so keeping all of this in mind we can assume it will be just as awesome as the original with some added goodies.

Square-Enix plans to have Chrono Trigger DS out by the upcoming holdiay season.

Square-Enix “Countdown Site”

Square-Enix has launched a new "Countdown Site" which is made up of a Nintendo DS logo and a clock that makes ticking noises which aren’t in-sync with the actual second hand.

Judging by the clock and the site’s address (http://www.square-enix.co.jp/ctds / ) we can assume that they will be releasing a DS port of Chrono Trigger or something different but within the same theme.

Square-Enix closed down a fan-built Chrono Trigger Ressurection Project back in 2004 which would be a hint that the company still had plans for the series and didn’t want Fans taking off with it. We’ll have more news for you here as the story develops.
