Chrono Trigger Storms Japan on Nintendo DS on Nintendo gaming news, videos and discussion

The first day sales of the latest Japanese releases have now been revealed and there has indeed been great success for the Nintendo DS version of Chrono Trigger, as well as Nintendo's Animal Crossing: Let's Go to the City on Wii. Hopefully Square Enix will be able to get more copies of Chrono Trigger shipped out soon, as at its current rate most of the entire first shipment could be sold before the week is out. As for Animal Crossing, clearly Nintendo is expecting it to have huge chart legs, hence the massive shipment of around 800,000 units in total.

Chrono Trigger DS is fantastic and thoroughly deserves to become a million-seller...

I agree, even though it is just a mixture of the SNES and PSX versions (with a few little extras)

The Last Remnant's out in Japan!!! Uber-jealous!

Animal crossing seems a bit suprising.

I'm glad Chrono Trigger's started off well, I can't wait for the UK release.
