Just in case you missed the news, Square Enix has announced a DS version of legendary SNES RPG, Chrono Trigger. From the press release:
With artwork by famed manga artist Akira Toriyama and an unprecedented and inspiring musical score created by Yasunori Mitsuda, CHRONO TRIGGER represents the best-in-class of the video game world. This newly revamped edition maintains all of the game's original elements and spirit while introducing the portability, dual-screen presentation and Touch-Screen functionality of Nintendo DS. Players will soon be able to rediscover the exhilarating RPG experience, breathtaking storyline and innovative gameplay in the palm of their hands.
There will also be a new dungeon and a wireless play mode - but essentially these sound like pretty trimmings to a straight(ish) translation. A teaser site is up and running, but don't get too excited - unless you're really into echoing clock ticks.
Next stop, Vagrant Story?
Elsewhere, Konami has revealed a new Castlevania title - and I'm really not sure about this one. Castlevania Judgement is a Wii fighting game based on the classic platforming series. Naturally, the Wii Remote becomes the weapon, with players hacking and slashing away against a variety of enemies form the game's 22-year history. Konami has this to add:
Select characters can also set traps and make use of monsters on the field to achieve victory in a clash of epic proportions. As an added bonus, players are also able to compete head-to-head using the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection and connect with Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia on the Nintendo DS to unlock bonus gameplay content.
No, still not convinced.
