Site news -- Small Update
Added: December 6, 2008 -- 4:20PM PST
Just a small update for now. I've added the Japanese and USA release dates for Chrono Trigger DS, as well as videos for two Japanese commercials
for its DS release. In the future we should have things like name changes because of the updated script and details on the new areas in the game.
Industry news -- Chrono Trigger DS Release Date
Added: August 19, 2008 -- 1:49PM PST
According to this article over at Kotaku, the DS port
of Chrono Trigger will be released in North America on November 25th. Rejoice!
This is all I have to say. Not a confirmation of a DS Chrono Trigger but painfully obvious that it's the case.
Remake or port, I don't care. The second it's out, it's mine.
Miscellaneous news -- Making Money with Chrono
Added: March 26, 2008 -- 12:26PM PST
A friend of mine alerted me to a link that compares the money you'd have made today if you bought stock in Apple in 1995 to
the money you'd earn if you sold a sealed copy of Chrono Trigger on eBay, and well..I think we know where this is going.
You can read about the power of the Trigger by clicking on
this Video Game Price Charts link.
Site news -- Four Out of Four Stars
Added: August 10, 2007 -- 8:50PM PST
A Chrono Trigger review written by the always entertaining Tim Rogers has been posted by Action Button.Net, and not to
spoil it or anything, but he gives it four out of four stars. The man is one who knows quality when he sees it - I happen to
share his opinion that Super Mario Brothers 3 is the best video game of all time. Don't even try to argue against it!
You can check the review out over at Action Button.Net.

I found some nice pieces of history today so I figured I'd share. I've put up commercials
I found for Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross, and most interestingly the Satellaview. They're
all in Japanese so if anybody can translate them into English for me, I'd really appreciate it.
You can find the commercials at the Chrono Trigger At A Glance,
Chrono Cross At A Glance, and Satellaview
sections, respectively.
Site news -- Fans are the Best
Added: February 02, 2007 -- 5:25PM PST
We've got two more fan submissions up tonight. The first is a page of homemade sheet music. Chip Zoller
sent us his transcription of the organ music from the Manoria Cathedral. You can find it at the
Chrono Trigger Sheet Music section of the site. In addition, Dave sent
us a great piece of fanart featuring those creepy mutants from 2300AD. You can view his fanart
over at the Chrono Trigger Fanart section. Enjoy!
Site news -- Time Sneaks Up On You

Wow, how long has it been? I'm tempted to insert the standard excuse about work and other projects
preventing me from updating here on a more regular basis, and while it's true (three other sites are
being created/updated and various other programming projects), I should still get periodic updates
here. So I guess almost one entire month after the start of the new year, I'll declare that as my
New Year's resolution.
Today, we've got a Schala fanart submission by cupnoodles that's definitely one of the best we've ever
received. Check it and other fanart out at the Chrono Trigger Fanart section.
Site news -- Just One More Question
Added: April 11, 2006 -- 10:34PM PST
There's a new section up for your perusal. It's a section devoted to interviews that have been conducted with
those associated with the Chrono series. There are currently about eight interviews, and all are of staff who
worked on the games, but I intend to try to also get interviews from fans who are active in the Chrono community.
You can get your read on by checking out the Interviews section.
Site news -- CT Manga
Added: April 2, 2006 -- 1:39PM PST
I've got a nice little goody for everybody today. It's a ten page Chrono Trigger manga that was
included in the player's guide for the game. I have both the original Japanese version and an English
translated version available. Head on over to the Chrono Trigger Manga
section to check it out. More updates should be on the way, pending responses from their sources, so
stay tuned.
Site news -- New Chrono Fanart
Added: March 20, 2006 -- 7:35PM PST
I've put up a new piece of Chrono fanart that was submitted to us by Josh Bramlett. It's a great picture of Chrono
in the midst of casting Luminaire. You can check it and all of our Chrono Trigger fanart over at the
Chrono Trigger Fanart section.
In other news, I'm in the process of building a new server, which is partially the reason why things have been
slow lately. I am not currently hosting the CSD on my own server, but I use my server as a testing ground for
all of my sites, including this one, so the extra horsepower should help me get a lot more done.
I've just learned that Yasunori Mitsuda will be playing "exclusive suites" of Chrono Music at PLAY!, a video game
symphony similar to Video Games Live, an event at which video game music was played in front of a live crowd.
In addition, he'll be sticking around for a meet and greet with those lucky enough to obtain VIP tickets. This is a great
opportunity to meet one of the defining musicians in the video game industry. For more information, you can check out the
official news item at the PLAY! website.
Site news -- New fanart submission
Added: January 14, 2006 -- 2:08PM PST
We recently received an excellent fanart submission of Lucca and Magus by an artist named Tingmeow. Check it out over
at the "Groups" subsection of the Chrono Trigger Fanart section. Thanks for the submission,
Tingmeow! As always, any fanart or fanfic submissions are welcome, and we'll get them up as soon as possible.
Changing subjects, I apologize for the lack of updates lately. The usual excuses of employment and other commitments still
apply, but I've also been having computer problems which have constrained my ability to do a lot of things. With any luck
that will change soon, as I do have new material prepared.
