Chrono Trigger DS
Welcome to the Chrono Trigger DS preview page! Here, we'll post screenshots and other information pertaining to Chrono Trigger's port to the DS.
On July 1, 2008, someone at 2chan uploaded a scan from a Japanese video game announcing Chrono Trigger DS. That night, people discovered http://www.square-enix.co.jp/ctds/ and its American counterpart, http://na.square-enix.com/ctds/. These websites, with the title COUNTDOWN SITE, depicted a clock synchronized to the viewer's computer time and the ticking sound from A Premonition, the pre-title screen track to Chrono Trigger. Square Enix's Japanese news feed also touted the date July 7. On July 2, a press release appeared on Yahoo Business confirming several things.
- A holiday release for Japan and North America
- Touch-Screen functionality
- "Wireless Play mode"
- Dual screen presentation
- A new dungeon
On July 4, a countdown to July 7 was added to the sites. At the break of July 7 in Japan, chronotrigger.jp launched with a trailer:
Here's a translation of the trailer and the information card displayed at the end, thanks to Ichiro78:
