Chrono Trigger gets date for North American release
It looks like the early December release that GameStop predicted is false. Chrono Trigger will be hitting North American shores a week earlier, on November 25th. The rest of the press release is kind of bare, with the exception of one thing: Arena mode.
At the end of the features section, it reads that "brand-new dungeons" and "an Arena mode" will "add exciting new dimensions to this timeless classic." Is this the two-player mode that we're all in the dark about? Sounds like it to us, meaning Chrono Trigger could allow for co-operative play in these new dungeons, as well as some kind of versus mechanic in this Arena mode. We might be reaching a bit, though, with the reality of it most likely being the new dungeons are only accessible from the single-player campaign and the Arena mode will let you and a friend do a boss rush or something.

If there's a promise of "best weapon evar" after beating this Arena mode, that's going to be uncalled for... :/
Though, inclusion of the multiplayer Johnny race would've been nice...that wasn't even released stateside.

Hey, it'll be just in time for my birthday too! :D Not quite as close as two days, but a couple weeks. I used to have an emulator of this game and it whupped. I hope the new content will be worthwhile.
