The DS remake of the classic game, Chrono Trigger, has been announced to have an added mini-game. The mini-game involves the battling of monsters, either by yourself or with friends across the DS's wireless connectivity. While in-depth details on the mini-game have yet to be released, there are said to be 50 kinds of monsters, and winning a battle will result in a rare item.
You have to train the monsters in order to increase their strength, and as they gain strength their appearance will change.
In addition, information on the two extra dungeons in Chrono Trigger DS has been revealed:
- Dimensional Distortion
A mysterious dungeon suddenly appears. Travel through time to overcome the challenges, and reach the depths to claim a hidden power. Clearing the different parts of the dungeon will affect the End of Time in some way.
- Dragon's Sanctuary
In the last leg of the story, new gates to prehistoric times and the middle ages suddenly appear. Within the dungeon, one will have to complete various requests to continue. The quests gradually increase in difficulty, and you may have to go to a different era in order to continue. Help the reptites to reach the innermost parts of the dungeon. What could be waiting there...?

Hot damn that's a good list. The only one i never played is AOE2 and i never finshed Chrono Trigger but it was damn good.
Speaking of what's old but holds up amazingly well and plays like a dream.. i played Symphony of the Night for the first time in 2019.. yep that's right. It became one of my favourite games of all time that i replay almost every year. I couldn't believe how good it was. That is almost impossible for me with newer games let alone older ones. Truly a special gem.
The only one I’d disagree with is doom. It shows its age badly I think. After 5 minutes of play these days you put it down.
Yuji Horii may have accidentally confirmed a Chrono Trigger remake at Comicon in Naples. Eyewitness accounts suggest the beloved JRPG could be returning in HD-2D form.
So many people want HD2D, but I agree 100%. Chrono Trigger is in my top 3 of all-time. I want to see what this could be like re-imagined in full 3D. The sprites look good enough in the original, in my opinion. What would be amazing, is if they just went for both haha. Give us the HD2D to tide us over while they work on the full remake.
I'm still skeptical of HD-2D, and still want them to fix remaining foibles in the current Steam version. At any rate I've been seeing online that this rumour has been debunked
I would jump for a remake of Chrono Trigger then hopefully a remake of Chrono Cross. I wish Xenogears and the Xenosaga trilogy also got a remake or a remaster.
I am surprised it hasn’t been done already. It’s widely considered as one of the best RPGs all time. I’ll take it for sure. I want a Vagrant Story remake as well
Dragon Ball staff reveal how Akira Toriyama created one of Chrono Trigger's most memorable characters as the RPG celebrates its 30th anniversary.
Nice. Time to dust off the ol' DS and beat this game again. I'm actually really excited for this.
Sounds so amazing! Cannot wait...*dies*
Hey, wait a minute... This sounds very familiar...
Oh, no, I'm thinking of Sword of Mana when they remade Final Fantasy Adventures.
Or is it Final Fantasy Tactics for PSP?
Maybe it's FFIV on the DS I'm thinking of.
Where could I have ever possibly heard of SquareEnix remaking a game and giving it just enough new content so that people will get it??
Well at least they aren't just throwing out the same game and are giving an effort by adding some fun features to an already sweet game :) I could still play my SNES version or you could still play the emulator you may have but it won't be the same as this DS game which is pretty cool
