Why get a mint when you have the love and adoration of people across the world willing to give you their money?

I guess my PSX version will be staying then.

No, hell with that. I've bought that game too many times before. I want another sequel.

Sadly, this latest incarnation of Chrono Trigger appears to be a simple port of the original SNES release.

There's a lot to be said for preserving games as they were originally created, with the deadlines, budget, and technology the developers had to work with at the time. Videogame preservation is generally pretty spotty, so I'm glad to see a straight port for a game like Chrono Trigger. It's not like it is lacking in its original form, anyway.

No no, there were two original versions: the one for the SNES, and and the one for the Playstation. Because the PS1 had more room on the discs, they added animated cutscenes.

...Admittedly, not a huge difference.

Hm. The PS1 version was released in 1999, four years after the SNES version. That seems more like an early port than an original, though in this case we haven't really defined what actually constitutes an original, so there you go.

Fuck yeah. Now do Earthbound.
