At first glance it's a little strange – Square Enix completely remade two of their Final Fantasies for the DS, rendering virtually unrecognisable from their source material, so why didn't they do the same for Chrono Trigger DS and pump it full of polygons and new-fangled renders? Well, the answer is quite simple – you don't mess with a classic. Chrono Trigger DS is a faithful port of the wonderful original, with subtle improvements to the script and a little extra gameplay. If the very, very minor sound issues, or the moderately-retro graphics don't bother you, then is a must-own, especially if you've never played it before.

Square Enix reveals Chrono Trigger: Melodies That Resonate Across Time, an orchestral album featuring ten classic tracks performed at the 30th anniversary concert in Tokyo.
A remake or even a modern port would do since it is one of the best games all time. Can’t believe it’s been 30 years since I first played it
Yasunori Mitsuda is a talented composer I love the music both from Chrono Trigger, Xenogears. I will always enjoy Nobuo Uematsu as well. I would love to have seen the Chrono Trigger concert live.
