OK you can stop waiting for a Virtual Console release people, Square has announced they will be making an enhanced port of Chrono Trigger for the Nintendo DS, much like the Final Fantasy Advance releases for GBA.
The game will have some sort of touch screen funtionality, wireless play, and a new original dungeon.
Ubisoft is once again proving that they have no idea what gamers want. First they turn the good natured hero Prince into the dark Prince, now just because he’s on the DS they have to turn him into the squatty little boy Prince.
From the PR:
Exclusively for Nintendo DS: Use the DS stylus to master the acrobatics, strategy and fighting tactics of the most agile warrior of all time.
Immerse yourself in the captivating Prince of Persia universe with an original and independent story that closely coincides with the action of the console & PC editions of the game.
Unique visual style: Brand-new art design delivers incredible environments in over 50+ maps. Explore deserted cities, dark labyrinths and forbidding jungles to battle the evil Corruption.
Play as the all-new character: the Magus: Switch between the Prince and this mysterious new ally to fight, solve puzzles and utilize his magical powers to make your way through the corrupted land.
The screen wouldn’t look half bad if the Prince didn’t look like a kid with his mommies scarf wrapped around his face.

“WN: What’s coming up next for Castlevania, the games?
KI: First, we’re doing another Nintendo DS version. There hasn’t been an official announcement, but we’re doing it. First, we want people to enjoy the PSP version, and afterwards we’re announcing it. So, please wait a little bit.”
