Sony has announced this year at TGS that they will be releasing a whole slew of mobile RPG ports. Among them is the classic time traveling adventure, Chrono Trigger, which will be re-released via iOS and Android.
"After failing to sell his sealed copy of Chrono Trigger for the SNES at a price of $7,500, eBay user pkspecial.2008 has relisted his item, which has already climbed to $610 as of this writing."
"While there’s no denying the charm of an 8-bit Queen DJ Hero mash-up, some developers have gone against the grain and revived some hits from the 80s and 90s to today’s standards. Not only are these fan-made creations (mostly) good, some even rival what the bigwigs are pumping out."
"Square Enix Senior Vice President Shinji Hashimoto revealed that the company wasn't very impressed by the sales of cult RPG classic Chrono Trigger during an E3 interview regarding Front Mission Evolved, a reinvention of the Front Mission franchise.
When asked by RPGSite staff if he could forsee Square handing off other much-loved but neglected franchises to external developers as with Front Mission, he asked what franchsie we had in mind.
Our response? Of course, Chrono Trigger.
"Why..."
Some big Chrono Trigger fans have been on a mission for a long time now to make a sequel to the original game. According to their website, it featured "~35 hours of game play, 10 multiple endings, and 23 chapters, much like the original Chrono Trigger; it was around 98% complete. The plot featured the original cast as they struggled against a new villain risen from the legacy of Zeal."

"Hardcore Gamer - You don't need a pair to kill Altima in Final Fantasy Tactics with one blow or defeat Metatron from Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne without losing your sanity. While the hardcore who would go discuss their "1337" gameplay tactics and strategies on notorious message boards almost never expect to run across girls, it is a fact that the male dominated scene of spending hundreds of hours to kill secret bosses and pull off insane Achievements for bragging rights is not without the pr..."
"The auction for the sealed copy of Chrono Trigger I wrote about yesterday has closed and the coveted game went or a whopping $1,217. The winning bidder will be a bit poorer but will have one hell of a piece of game history in their hands. If you're itching to drop a load of money on a sealed SNES game and missed out on this one, you can still get a bid in on this copy of MegaMan X2. Opening bid is $1,000. I'm truly amazed... I guess it's true that things are ultimately worth whatever someone ..."
