Chrono Trigger DS to feature monster capturing, raising, battling
By Heath | September 22, 2008 at 2:45 am
The upcoming DS version of Chrono Trigger will apparently be slightly less of a straight port than previously expected. If the Japanese Toy-R-Us website is to be believed, players will be able to catch and raise monsters, then fight them in an arena for various prizes. Using the DS local connectivity, friends can challenge each other’s monsters. Exactly how one raises or levels up a monster is not specified. Thanks to poster “duckroll” at NeoGAF for pointing this out.

Wow, You Are All Pretty Shallow and Easily Humored, Part 1

I love when companies announce announcements. “We have an announcement!” they say. Quiet hushes fall over the internet. “Our announcement,” they lead, “is that soon, we will make an announcement!” And forumers netwide can’t help but lap it up. Right now, people can’t shut up about Sega announcing, quite simply, that it (or one of its subsidiaries) is working on an RPG…which it will actually announce later. Really? This is what’s got you abuzz, tubes? Really? Is anyone surprised? Considering the length of the process, I’d be more surprised if Sega was not currently working on any RPGs we didn’t already know about.
