Chrono Trigger coming to the Nintendo DS.

Square Enix have announced that Chrono Trigger, the seminal SNES (Super Famicom) RPG will be hitting the Nintendo DS later in the year, in America at least. The only changes for the port will be a new dungeon and a Wireless Multiplayer mode, as is de rigeur with DS games nowadays.

Anyone who played the original Chrono Trigger knows how good it was, and anyone who didn't should probably buy the revamp and find out. Whether or not this will be a port of the original original or the PSone version with added cutscenes remains to be seen, but bearing in mind Square's ability to cram FMV sequences onto cartridges (look at FF3 and FF12: Revenant Wings), it's a decent bet to say it'll be the latter.

Whether or not the game will get a European release also remains unclear at this time, but fingers crossed, or otherwise I'm going to be mighty upset.
