Today the Chrono Trigger release date was announced via press release to be November 25th, 2008.  Alongside it was the announcement of extra dungeons in the game and a new arena mode.  More details on these new modes as they come.  

Personally, I am very excited for this game since I have never gotten to play it.  I'm actually really happy they are keeping the same graphical style since the main reason I have not played it is I do not feel like shelling out $100 to buy it for my SNES on eBay.  

 

Today on WiiWare we have Midnight Pool which is for 800 Wii Points.  On the Virtual Console, Megaman from the NES for 500 Wii Points and Neo Turf Masters from the NeoGeo for 900 Wii Points.

  

  

For all of our Australian readers good news, the release and price of the Sony 80 gig PS3 was just announced (which by the way, I'm trying to get one and they are sold out everywhere, Metal Gear Solid 4 for ya), the release date will be August 28th with a MSRP of $699 dollars (even in the conversion rate that still sounds like a lot).  It will be packaged with a Dualshock 3 Controller. 

 

Okay everyone I'm back.  Sorry that I was gone.  I was away at Carnegie Mellon for six weeks at a program for Game Programming, Design, and Art.  It's a pre-college.  Don't fret though because for all VGTribune Members I will be emailing out a Beta of The Ruins of Balam, a game I made in a small development team while I was there.  That's not all however, starting either tomorrow or Monday the Kater Live Stream Show starts back up with Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots after the unwrapping my new PS3.  So look forward in the next month to Beta testing The Ruins of Balam (PC only), watching MGS 4, and some awesome news.  I might have another game surprise in September :D.
