    SNES FFIII, Chrono Trigger coming to Virtual Console, PSN soon

    The ESRB has outed Chrono Trigger for Wii Virtual console. Not too surprising since its had a run on iOS fairly recently and there was also recent talk of SNES FFIII as well for VC.

    Word is CT and FFVI are also coming to PSN, but if you know anything about the PSX version of those games, the load times for battles were pretty bad even if they had pretty FMVs. I couldn't stand them back then, so I think I'll go with the SNES versions on VC.

    So first quarter SE wanted your physical game money, now they want your digitally distributed game money this quarter.

    Those load times were likely due to the CD. They're probably much lower on a hard drive.

      It was because of a hardware conflict with the emulation. There are features in the PSN emulation to speed things up, but it was VERY noticeable on PSX and this is emulation so there's still probably going to be that little cringe-worthy pause in CT.

      It wasn't as noticeable in FFVI, still kinda there.

        Or you could just get the DS version of both games as they're the best.

          I stand corrected then. Now the whole thing just seems retarded as fuck in principle: you're emulating a PSX so you can emulate an SNES.

          What's the price point on PSX games on PSN? DS version blows all other versions out of the water so the PSN version would have to be substantially cheaper to be worth it.

            FFVII, VIII, and IX were $10 on PSN as I recall. I expect Chrono Trigger to be priced similarly.

              That's a funny way to spell Super Nintendo.

                While it was a huge PR thing for SCEA to bash and downplay 2D gaming at the time, the real reason Sony downplayed 2D games is because PSX was not built for sprite-based games, but polygon-based ones, so to do sprites-based games you really had to fight the system - some games more than others. So yeah, Squaresoft was trying to make a system resistant to being a previous-gen system run an SNES game.

                There was not DS version of FFVI, though I have a feeling that will change soon enough with 3DS.

                  I'm pretty excited for the Wii virtual console release of Chrono. While I loved the DS version, I will equally love having those beautiful graphics enlarged for my 42".

                    Chrono Trigger is up now on VC, 800 points.

                    Thankfully, its not silver points, because take some time to get that out of Gato and his metal joints.
