    Chrono Trigger coming to the DS

    ctrigds.JPGAnyone heard of Chrono Trigger? A little game released back in 1995 for the SNES? I realize it's obscure and all but I expect you pinnacles of geekery, you princes of Maine, might have heard of it at some point in your exhaustive games-centric research. Chris informs me (between Chrono Trigger induced pants-wetting sessions) that the original SNES version of Chrono Trigger is "one of the rarest SNES games you can find".

    Well, come this holiday season, a version of Chrono Trigger that isn't a complete and total clusterfuck like the PS1 port will be coming to the DS. Excited yet? The mere mention of a port to the DS is enough to cause spasms of delight in even the most stoic of geeks. So I hope you're sitting down, as the DS port will add wireless multiplayer and a new dungeon to explore with your friends. In the palm of your hand. On Chrono Trigger.

    Every time I begin to doubt that it's the future something like this happens. Screw flying cars and pill-food, I'll take Chrono Trigger on a device the size of my hands thank you very much.

    Wireless multiplayer and a new dungeon? Also, I can certainly confirm the Chrono Trigger induced pants-wetting sessions. :D

    Through all the hardships of the years I've been though, never have I seen such solace than a clock in the shape of the letter C.

    Oh fap. Fap fap fap fap. I've been playing this on an emulator but an official port will be great.
