Rumor: Chrono Trigger's new monster battling feature

The latest information about Chrono Trigger's new DS-specific features originates from a pretty unusual place: the port's Japanese Toys R Us product page. At least, that's according to NeoGAF's duckroll, who wouldn't seem to have any reason to lie. However, the information does not appear on the product page now, which means that it was probably removed.Duckroll reports that the game allowed you to breed and train around 50 monsters in the game's previously unspecified "Arena Mode," with the goal of battling them and winning rare items. You can even fight your friends via (probably local) wireless.
From more mysterious sources come details of two new dungeons: "Dimensional Distortion," in which players must travel through time, changing The End of Time as they complete segments, and "Dragon's Sanctuary," in which players must complete a number of quests within the dungeon and across different time periods.

The "Dimension Distortion" mode sounds awesome.

Guy in the pic kind of reminds me of Mr. Destructoid

That whole "monster raising/battling" thing most definitely does not sound very Chrono Trigger-ish at all. I sure hope that isn't real.
Then again, if it is, I'll just avoid it.

ahahaha. yeah, the monster catching in now rampant!
Aside from the monster catching aspect, the two new dungeons sound promising.
