'''Chrono Trigger''' was re-released for the [[Nintendo DS]] in late November 2008 in North America and Japan and in early February 2009 for the PAL region, the first time the game has been officially released outside North America and Japan. This version had some differences compared to the original SNES and PlayStation versions of ''[[Chrono Trigger]]''. 

This version has since been released for smartphones (iOS (release date: December 8, 2011) and Android (release date: October 29, 2012)) and Microsoft Windows via Steam (release date: February 27, 2018), retaining most of the new features (such as dungeons and items) added to this version not present in the original SNES and Playstation versions, the new localization, etc. Some minor features remain DS exclusive however, such as the dual screen support. The initial release of the smartphone versions were also missing other features such as the FMV cutscenes, but these features were reintroduced in an update released on February 27, 2018 which was based on the Windows version.

== Announcement ==
On July 2, 2008 [[Square Enix]] announced that they were officially planning to bring Chrono Trigger to the Nintendo DS. Composer [[Yasunori Mitsuda]] was pleased with the project, exclaiming "think about it when they play it." At the 2008 Tokyo Game Show, Square Enix displayed [[Akira Toriyama]]'s original art, advertising the DS release.

==Differences==

The DS re-release contains all of the bonus material from the [[PlayStation]] port, such as the [[Full Motion Video|anime-style cut scenes]] by [[Akira Toriyama]], as well as other enhancements. The added features include a more accurate translation by [[Tom Slattery]], a dual-screen mode which clears the top screen of all menus, a self-completing map screen, and a default "run" option. The translation replaced [[Frog]]'s Old-English with a more accurate, normal English translation and also renamed various enemies and equipment.

==Development==
[[Masato Kato]], who wrote the script for the SNES version, participated in development, overseeing the addition of the monster-battling Arena and two new areas, the [[Lost Sanctum]] and the [[Dimensional Vortex]]. One of the areas within the Vortex uses the "Singing Mountain" song that was featured on the original [[Chrono Trigger Original Sound Version|Chrono Trigger soundtrack]].

==Reception==
The new dungeons met with mixed reviews; GameSpot called them "frustrating" and "repetitive," while IGN noted that "the extra quests in the game connect extremely well." It was a nominee for Best RPG for the Nintendo DS in IGN's 2008 video game awards.

PAL reviewers were ecstatic about the game's release as this version marked the first time it had been released there. As a result, scores from Australian and UK critics were substantially higher than their North American counterparts.

The Nintendo DS version of ''Chrono Trigger'' was the 22nd best-selling game of Japan in 2008.
