After previously only having a release date of this holiday season, the upcoming Square Enix remaster of this SNES classic is now confirmed by the publisher/developer to be releasing in the US on November 25, 2008, allowing for US gamers to get their time-travelling fix while stuffing the turkey.

Chrono Trigger originally released on the SNES back in 1995, and became one of the most acclaimed titles of all time, with the name invoking fond memories, and one of the standouts of the JRPG genre. This new upcoming DS remake will incorprate a dual screen presentation and touch screen functionality, while keeping in tact the game's original elements. Additions to this version will be brand-new dungeons, along with an Arena mode.

The official site for Chrono Trigger DS can be found here.

    The DS is region free, right ?

    I'm pretty sure it is, but I need a second opinion. =P

    If so, I smell a Christmas present.

    I'm not waiting till 2009 !

      Yeh, it's region-free. I still can't believe it's coming out so soon. It felt like it was announced just yesterday.

        Quite shocking to me, too. I honestly thought that we wouldn't see this until next year at earliest.

        Yet another great [remade] RPG to add to my DS collection. ^^
