Chrono Trigger now available on Steam

Posted by Zidane007nl on 27 February 2018, 22:47 - 0 comments

Without any announcement Square Enix has released Chrono Trigger on Steam. You can get this classic, that was released back in 1995 for the Super Nintendo, for € 14,99 / $ 14,99.

Untill 2 April you can the limited edition which will include the following bonus features:

  1. An enchanting and specially edited Chrono Trigger medley consisting of 5 songs: Far Off Promise, Wind Scene, Battle with Magus, Corridors of Time and Chrono Trigger.
  2. Composer Yasunori Mitsuda’s digital liner notes.
  3. A collection of 6 wallpapers for your PC.

However, this version is based on the mobile version of Chrono Trigger released back in 2011. And Square Enix changed almost nothing, resulting in a bad user interface and horrible font. So think wisely before you buy this version.

4 New Chrono Trigger DS scans!

Posted by Zidane007nl on 11 July 2008, 18:21 - 0 comments

In the latest issue of the Japanese magazine Famitsu 4 new pages with screenshots from Chrono Trigger for the Nintendo DS were revealed. Most of the screenshots are the same as from the Super Nintendo version, but on some you see a small HP/MP bar under the characters. This must be because the Nintendo DS uses 2 screens (stats above, action below) and you can't see both of them at one time.
