Universally acclaimed as one of the greatest games of all time, Chrono Trigger was originally released in 1995 on the Super NES, and revolutionised the world of RPGs. It featured a unique and multifaceted storyline, as well as never-before-seen features such as an outstanding soundtrack and multiple endings, which were determined by the player's actions and the side quests that were chosen.

...and now it's time to re-visit it all, as this newly revamped version of the game maintains all of the original's spirit and innovative elements, as well as introducing the dual-screen portability and touch-screen functionality of the Nintendo DS. We have the debut trailer (yes, it's in Japanese), and some details about what you can expect.
