Chrono Trigger *Might* Be Coming To The Nintendo DS

We know that the very suggestion of a Chrono Trigger port, remake or sequel for just about any platform (that isn't a mobile phone) might just make your head swim or various body parts explode with delight. Therefore, we'd like to ask that you sit down for the duration of this post. Pregnant women and those operating heavy machinery are advised not to read further. Instead, a friend read it to you.

Okay, here's the deal. We're hearing that in the new issue of Jump magazine, Square Enix has announced Chrono Trigger DS for a Winter release in Japan. Currently, that rumor and a very shady scan is all we got. Rock gently while repeating to yourself "This is a rumor, this is a rumor" until we get some sort of confirmation.

Thanks to Jay and Tim for the heads up.

Coin-Op NES

Want to play? Get out those coins. Here's a coin-operated Famicom that was hooked up to standard TVs in Japanese hotels and inns. One hundred yen coin got players 10~15 minutes of playtime. There's a Zapper and everything! Hit the jump for the pricier Super Famicom, which only doled out 5 minutes of playtime for a hundred yen. Well, it was "Super." Super expensive!

Club Nintendo Dates Animal Crossing Wii? Eh...

Maybe this is just a kwinky-dink. Who knows? Nintendo does! The 2008 Japanese Club Nintendo has a picture of Mario Kart Wii for April. And of course, Mario Kart Wii goes on sale in April. Taking this rubrick, let's look at December, which shows a picture of... More »

Super Mario World Explores Quantum Physics

Who said games aren't educational? It may not have the sex appeal of my personal time-merged favorite, The 1K Project II for Trackmania Sunrise, but the ensuing write-up, which helps explain quantum theories with a SNES classic gives it an intellectual bonus. The Super Mario World hack, by the way, is known as Kaizo Mario World and looks infinitely unenjoyable. What you're seeing above is 134 playthroughs of Kaizo layered upon each other using a custom SNES emulator.

Iga Eyes Xbox 360 For Next Console Castlevania

The man who eats, sleeps, breathes and craps Castlevania, Koji Igarashi, sat down with Game Informer to chat about the future of the classic Dracula slaying franchise. With "IGA" and crew already hard at work on wrapping up Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles for the PSP and churning out another Nintendo DS sequel, one might wonder when the team plans to revisit Castlevania on home consoles. Iga says it's a possibility, but you might want to secure yourself an Xbox 360 if you want to play it. More »

Clip: Team Kotaku On Spike TV

The latest episode of Game Head, set to hit this Friday night, will feature a special look at Shigeru Miyamoto with the likes of Koji Kondo, Stephen Totilo, Heather Chaplin, the Game Jew, Team Kotaku and Miyamoto himself. The clip offers a taste. Yes, I've got that damn bird shirt on. In my defense, they shot a bunch of stuff with us in one sitting that they will be using over the year, so it's going to look like I never change clothes. Promise I do. Brian Crecente

Nintendo Games Channel: Wii Live Arcade

In a recent interview with Game Informer, Hudson Entertainment's marketing director, John Lee, shot down the idea of the Virtual Console ever releasing new, previously released titles for the Wii. But then he added:
However, in the future, you should rephrase that question to: Are there any plans to launch original content on some downloadable service on the Wii, and you might get a different answer.
This is fantastic news, as Nintendo will surely hold developers to the same high standards that have made Xbox Live Arcade titles so buying-a-360 worthy. So is everyone copying Microsoft, or is small developer content just the natural evolution of networked consoles? Mark Wilson

Latest by Americana: "Unlike Microsoft they don't have a huge pool of talented software folks to work on public tools." Why do we need public tools? I'm part of a small indie dev team and we work on PC games, but it'd be nice to more »

Order Your Ocarina of Time Adult Link Statues Tomorrow

Continuining the series kicked off by the Fierce Diety Link and Skull Kid collectible statues comes the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time edition of "adult" Link. Sadly, Link is not naked nor involved in adult situations as the characters in adult films and adult books typically are. He's in the expected elf gear he sported on the Nintendo 64. More »
