Rumortoid: Chrono Trigger coming to Nintendo DS this winter? photo

Emphasis on the Rumortoid. A supposedly leaked scan from this week's issue of Famitsu shows what looks to be information on an "enhanced" version of Square's infamous classic, saying that it's headed for the DS. While there are plenty of you out there who may already NOT have Chrono Trigger on your NOT DS, the prospect of something like this is still pretty exciting, huh?

A translation of the scan roughly reads as "Square's classic fantasy RPG comes to the Nintendo DS, winter 2008." It then goes on to say that a price point has yet to be decied and all that sort of super-interesting nonsense. So is it real? Faked? And just how enhanced is "enhanced?" I suppose we'll know for sure when this week's Famitsu is released. We'll keep you posted, but in the meantime you can check out the gallery below to see the alleged scan in all its sh*t-resolution glory.

[Thanks, Buster!]

[UPDATE: Well, well. What have we here? ... Seems maybe there's something to this, doesn't it? Let us know what you think!]

I can't stand the art direction for Chrono. If this game was redesigned without the DBZ dude, I'd be a lot more excited.

I guess that eliminates any small chance there ever was of getting Chrono Trigger on the VC.

Man, wish they'd give us a real sequel (didn't like Chrono Cross so much) instead of another remake.

Also: Sorry for the pedantry but infamous doesn't work like inflammable.

Winter 08 already happened.
If video games follow the same rules as movies, a December 08 release would say New Year's rather than Winter.

If its true I'll go as far as learning japanese to play it but if its true it would be the dumbest mistake in the history of videogaming not to release it worldwide.

*picks jaw back up off of floor*

Oh man, if only that little screenshot were just revealed a bit more? I'm left wondering two things:
-- Does "enhanced" mean its getting the treatment FFIII and FFIV got for their DS incarnations?
-- Does Square plan on using this as a way to revive one of their most beloved franchises?

Do NOT want! I freaking hate playing anything on the DS dpad. If microsoft hadn't gotten the idea of making crappy consoles in addition to crappy computer software it'd be the worst dpad ever made. I'd rather re-buy it on virtual console (or WiiWare if they need to do that to charge $30 for it) than play it on DS.

Since Chrono Trigger is my favorite game ever, I'm hoping this is true. But blury/shitty scans are almost all fakes so I won't get my hopes too high. Also, I seriously don't know how they can "enhance" the game. I hope they don't make it like FF III DS, I love the game but it doesn't fit CT.

And now we watch Square Enix cancel this, given that it's true, like they've done with everything chrono trigger since chrono cross.

Kind of paraphrasing something that was already said:

If this is successful and sells a lot, I sure as hell hope Square takes it as a VERY positive sign to continue with the Chrono series. Despite already having this (FFChronicles!), I'd definitely re-purchase it for the DS.
