We hereby christen today "Good News Tuesday". Not only have we discovered the release dates for countless titles — Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Reverie, Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D and plenty more — we've also had confirmation from Nintendo that classic Square RPG Chrono Trigger will see the light of day on Virtual Console in Europe.
The game is slated for a Quarter 2 release date, which could mean any Friday between now and the end of June, but it's still cheering to see the game is indeed on its way. Regrettably the Nintendo of Europe release schedule is otherwise devoid of Virtual Console titles, even already-rated titles such as Monster World IV, but Chrono Trigger will surely be worth the wait considering the Super NES version was never originally released in Europe.

...for a second I thought it said Chrono Trigger 2.
Yes, Yes, Yes!!!
Hopefully this hits the american Wii shop shortly after Europe.
Any more news today? What about Capcom Captivate?
@PALgamer As if this news onslaught isn't enough...! The Captivate embargo ends in 30 minutes. I'll try to bring you updates as they happen
Awesome. Hope we get this in NA, I'd like to run through it again. :3
(There are) Never enough news!
The VC is looking pretty good at the moment. Great news!
I really hope this one hits NA soon. The PSone version feels so broken.
There's a repetition of "we've also had confirmation from Nintendo that classic Square RPG Chrono Trigger and plenty more" in there.
Good news though. I'm not sure I can take any more.
Awesome! Finally a chance to play Chrono Trigger without spending a bucketload of cash.
There are so many great games coming out in the following months, I don't know where I'll find the time to play them all!
@Jango.Forest For some reason the post editor was going a bit mental, spewing out HTML and stuff. All fixed now though I think!
YES! Finally a confirmation that this game will appear in Europe! Chrono Trigger makes up for like two months of no new VC games if you ask me.
yaaaaaaaaay yiiiiiiipppppeeeeeeeeee finaly its coming and am actually downloading it as soon as its ariving
This is good, right?
OH MY GOD!! Thankyou SquareEnix and Nintendo for releasing this so soon in Europe. I can't wait to finally get a chance to play this awesome classic.
Meanwhile The US will be lucky if it gets FF6 by then. Oh well, at least you guys get to enjoy some good Square RPGs.
Life in Europe is good
Shame I don't live there
It's going to be hard to watch this and Megaman X head over to you guys while the US gets nothing but Wiiware demos... Cries
Nice for Europe, but it's getting a little concerning in America where we still don't have FF3/6 yet. What's the hold up?
They are still trying to find the day NEXT YEAR that people will least expect to release FF6 and CT in NA. They guy running VC here is a sadist.
So good news! But the "never released before in europe" does beg the question. 50 or 60 hz?
Time to switch my Wii's settings to Europe!
@Ryno: Just hope it doesnt break while its set to Europe.
@21 FF3 offers only 60hz, think it will be the same with CT. All VC "import" games except lazy SEGA games run in their original speed.
just another game i've never played and don't really want to.
Enjoy for all those that didn't get to play CT in Europe.
I hate this generous statements.
Awwright, more classic RPGs! All we need now is the Gaia trilogy! (and an American release...)
Well, I already have Chrono Trigger three times over (SNES, PSOne, Nintendo DS). But, glad for those of you who've never played it, it is a gem. And getting games like this I already have out of the way makes it more likely for releases new to me in the future. Hard to believe they didn't release this in Europe in the mid-90s! Hey, Squeenix, while you're at it, how about Final Fantasy II & III NES and V SNES? Reading about Chrono Trigger makes me wonder why they've not had a Chrono sequel in about 11 years now, since Chrono Cross on PSOne.
I will buy a classic controller just to play this again. One of my favorite DS games.
Do not care...
I already own the PSone version. Still great news though.
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAH
Want.
one of the best ever. Insta
What is up with everything being announced for Europe now? What happened to NA?
I know, I know; its payback.
But if we don't get Xenoblade...
Such an awesome game, I can't believe Europeans never got the SNES version.
yaaayyy, i cant believe its coming so soon (compared to some other games)
i cant hold myself, must do this

Oh my, the original version of Chrono Trigger, 16 years late. :9
My second favourite game of all time. Between the DS and original SNES versions, I don't think I need another copy, especially a digital one.
does anyone know how the shop will work do you put your card details in to pay directly?
Hopefully it'll come to NA shortly after, but after what happened to the VC last summer, I'm not going to count on it.
Chrono Trigger, good game
I hope they don't alter anything. I almost didn't buy the DS version because of the written dialogue changes.
Chrono Trigger in France!!! Yeeaah!!! I already got it on DS but when Chrono Trigger is coming on European Virtual Console, I'll sell by auction the DS version.
