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.  

Although this weekend was very slow for news, there were some news tidbits that surfaced: 

Rumor: 360 Arcade dropping to $199 on Sept. 7

Square Enix president, Yoichi Wada, announced today that Final Fantasy XIII will be released for the XBOX 360 by showing the video above at Microsoft's E3 press conference. Although this may or may not sell more XBOX 360 consoles in Japan, it takes another game off the list of PlayStation 3 exclusives.

Word comes from GoNintnedo that a Chrono Trigger DS teaser site is up, meaning that the game is inevitably coming to North American DSs. There are many Chrono Trigger fans that have been waiting for this for a long while, now only time separates them from playing Chrono Trigger on their DSs.
