Yes and on Amazon (though it's almost twice as much on Amazon).
Regarding the first post, if they guarantee it's the DS or original version, I am all for it to be everywhere. Just don't want a repeat of FFVI for Steam.
Chrono Trigger availability (discussion)

Bird Studio (Akira Toriyama) and Armor Project (Yuji Horii) are involved too as rights holders. Its similar to DQ, Pokémon or Mother in that the original creators do hold some stake in ownership (unlike FF or Mana).
I thought this was going to be about how rare it was originally on the SNES. I didn't even know this game existed until Chrono Cross was a thing and I basically lived at the game rental store.
It does suck that the last releases were PS3 and DS and not including it on the SNES mini is insane but it will obviously come to the Switch at some point. Just gotta be patient sadly.

considering you can still buy the game legit, both chrono trigger ds and the original game digitally, it'd be a shitty thing to suggest. I mean you can easily buy the Wii VC version, extract the ROM, and use it however you'd like

Yeah. It bombed basically sadly. That was a test for SE as well, so no more new Chrono
It was priced at 40 bucks, which was a huge mistake. Let's not forget that it released during the heyday of massive DS piracy.

you're confusing FFVI(3), super mario RPG, Earthbound or Secret of mana for CT on the snes classic. Dont worry though, we all agree CT should have been on the snes mini.

That's probably a good thing, they're not capable of making a game half as good anymore.

The dungeons weren't great, but the REAL crappy additional content was the new side quests with the reptites that has you going back and forth between time periods in the ultimate of fetch quests.
Luckily, it's all stuff you can ignore if you want. The only rewards are even more overpowered gear (that sadly, surpass the much harder to get and more rewarding story wise content from the original release).
As for the rest of the additional content... The anime cutscenes are nice, but the in-game originals suffice well enough. The monster hunting game was garbo and the new translation is mostly great, if a bit more clinical. Nothing about it blows the SNES one out of the water though.
What's really weird to me is that it doesn't have a PC port yet. All of the snes final fantasy games do at this point.

This.
I'm just hoping we get all of Square-Enix stuff from the NES and SNES on VC.
Give me Chrono, DQ, FF, Mana ect.. and even more obscure shit like E.V.O.!
Yes. That would be ideal. PC has been doing it forever, why not console.
Hmm. Still, I would be shocked if they were actually impeding its re-release in some way. Again, Squenix hasn't released any of its classic 16-bit RPGs onto modern platforms, so it's not like there's precedence for it and Chrono Trigger is an exception.

From memory the DS one is changed slightly to link it closer to Cross, which makes it for sure the inferior version

With Square's other works like I am Setsuna and Lost Sphere, I see no reason for them to finally just make a HD Remake of Chrono Trigger. I use to think it wasn't possible but after playing I am Setsuna, it is completely doable. I think they need to just HD Remake Chrono Trigger and release it on the Switch.

This. It's cheap, and Wii's are super easy and safe to hack at this point.
I would love the Secret of Mana remake to be a catalyst for all of the SNES era games getting a 3D remake in a similar style.
III-X and XIII are available at steam.

Being a completionist with the older SNES JPRGs, it killed me that the new gear was way more tedious to get.

I think Miker means the original SNES version (?). I'm glad we don't get FFIV SNES though -- too easy. DS/PSP versions are better (why IV got so many rereleases and VI did not annoys me).

additional content you dont need to play technically, and its not like Cross was a bad game, just not the game people marketed it (aka chrono's sequel) So it isnt inferior by any stretch.
I meant in their original form, sorry. They're ports of the mobile versions.
True! I forgot about these because they're JP only.

Dalton makes an appearance in the new dungeons and simply canonizes what Kato has always said, that he was the reason for the fall of Guardia (something that was already confirmed in the PS1 version, and thus already linked the game more directly to CC).
Also your opinion is terrible. CC is great.

I can assure you my good chum, that Chrono Trigger is not one of the pre-installed games on the SNES Classic Mini. And it can only be added on there through hacking.
This hyperbolic hatred of Chrono Cross is ridiculous, but aside from that the connection to Chrono Cross is not a huge thing and involves doing a lot more in the game than most people would anyway. I love it though because CT and CC is probably my favourite two game series out there.
Theres no reason to not have them. I bought a ton of PS1 classic on my ps3, that are sitting in limbo since Sony has decided to not let me play them on PS4 for no reason. Im going to be equally upset if Switch VC comes out and all the games Ive bought there are missing. Cant open the door then close it.

I'm one of those weirdos who prefers the SNES version of Chrono Trigger. I just really prefer Woosey's translation.
With SNES games being released for the n3DS, I was hoping the original version of CT would of been released there, but alas...

It was a joke lol. DS one is fine, all the additions are useless but don't hurt the core game. I don't like CC but it doesn't affect you unless you go through the extra stuff

there's honestly no reason this shouldn't be the case anymore. up to a certain point at least
if I can emulate every game from Atari to PS1 on my cellphone, those games should be available on every console + PC (barring licensed games)

This thread is reminding me I need a copy of CT DS again... I stupidly sold it and didn't rebuy it when it was on sale on Squeenix's site for $5... probably never be that low again. (seeing it on Amazon now for almost $40 again... gross)

I had a different thought. I thought Square agreed to put Secret of Mana on it to punch up the remake. Of course they could have included both if they wanted to but I thought maybe the mini would be seen as 1. Having too many Square games and 2. Having too many RPGs.
It ranks as my #1 game ever and is one of the few games I try to play every few years even with diminished time so I personally would have loved for it to be included. If it gets another round of releases I just hope they dont go for trying to remaster it similar to the FF6 one. I remember when the DS version came out someone at SE basically said if fans wanted more Chrono games to buy the DS version but it this point I just dont know how many people are looking to purchase it again and younger gamers may not bother. Id love a remaster if done correctly. Id like it to be cell shaded with full orchestrated music and no VA. I doubt its going to happen but hey maybe they want to see what kind of ROI Mana will have. Ill probably get that if it reviews at least close to a 7 despite the graphics looking a bit bland to me. Hopefully they are able to improve that a bit as we get closer to release.

In fairness to people that think Chrono Trigger is on the SNES mini, Crono looks a hellofa lot like the main protag from SoM

I don't understand how they haven't released this game on Steam yet. It's like, their most popular game behind FFVII. And it's regarded as one of the greatest games of all time.
I believe this was mentioned briefly on Friend Code; the Easy Allies Nintendo podcast. The context was that one of the rights holders may not have been entirely on board with the DS version and since then the possibility of more versions has been harmed as a result. They didn't go into much more detail than that on the show.
And this is how rumors and misinformation gets spread. If you can't remember the source, it's probably not a good idea to even mention it.

I was hoping it was on the SNES mini, but sadly its not. I also dont understand why it wasnt released on the Wii U virtual console. It does seem kinda strange that its not on either.
Maybe they are working on a remake, but I kinda doubt it and Im not sure I want them even attempting to remake it. Its still amazing as it is still to this day.

I seriously dont know if this just a meme now and I missed it, but this is actually an honest question, in your opinion, what game or genre of games would you think would be awful for Switch? Assume you almost always have a decent wireless internet connection in this hypothetical.
I am not saying CT would be bad or anything. This is just the thread I saw this sentiment mentioned again.
Yup,would be great.

I've never understood the "rights issues"... issue.
Why would a rights holder decline free money from someone else doing all the work for them?

If this was even remotely true the DS port would have sold well and we would have gotten more spin off and sequels by now. Pretty sure it wasn't popular that much in Japan compared to the US. FFXV probably sold more than all of the version of Chrono Trigger combined.

They stopped printing DS games last year.
Yeah I would strongly doubt either Horii or Toriyama are holding back a release. Horiis business division (BD6) just put out DQ1-3 on 3DS and PS4 in fact, they love rereleasing old games.

I just wonder if bythe point the DS version came along that people that wanted to play it already did or at least the CT on DS may have just been selling to CT fans and not attracting new ones. I played through the optional end game content even though I wasnt enjoying it just to get more CT, but if that was supposed to be their idea to resell it, I feel like it was a bad idea. I wouldnt suggest a new player play that part of the game. All I remember is it mostly being fetch quests and a way to level up fast.
Oh really? Still kinda impressive that it printed all this time!
