While browsing the cblogs, I sawCoonskin’sChrono Triggerpostand realized, “Sh*t, I was supposed to post that today.” Of course, since I don’t claim to be a journalist, I can use this to illustrate my blogger integrity, and then someone will write a column about what an imperfect douchebag I am. Go for it, internet! I commend you.
At any rate, as you can see from the press release after the jump, it looks like we are confirmed on new dungeons and what is called the “Arena Mode”, which is where I’ll bet that WiFi play could come in. November 25th is the day we’ve all been waiting for, which means you have exactly 3 months and 7 days left until you can get your paws on the real deal. Next time a Gamestop employee asks if you want to preorder something, scream “F*CK YES” and throw your money at him for a copy ofChrono Trigger. I guarantee you he’ll be so scared of you he’ll never ask again.
[Thanks, Brett!]
