^Referring to the Ds remake
Firt of all, Chrono Trigger was the third best-selling game of 1995, and the game's SNES and PlayStation iterations have shipped 2.65 million copies as of March 2003. The version for the Nintendo DS sold a 'mere' 790,000 copies as of March 2009.
Also, the original SNES edition of Chrono Trigger was released on the Wii download service Virtual Console in Japan on April 26, 2011.
FOUR versions.

There have been two notable attempts by Chrono Trigger fans. Chrono Resurrection was forcibly terminated by Square Enix by way of a cease and desist order. Another group of fans created a sequel via a ROM hack of Chrono Trigger called Chrono Trigger: Crimson Echoes; developed from 2004 to 2009; it also was terminated through a cease & desist letter days before its May 2009 release.
You have no idea how fucking mad this made me. Never bought anything from squaresoft since.
