The SaGa series is pretty popular in Japan, right? They just remade one of the originals for its anniversary if I recall (did it get a NA release?)...I just don't think I can get over being burnt twice over with the Frontiers...I'd rather get me some Live-a-Live, which the first SaGa Frontier brought to mind with the chapter/multiple character-based story (though Live-a-Live did it MUCH better)...

I demand a PSP port of Chrono Cross, at the least

Wouldn't a PSN port be the least they could do for CC? ;)

(barring the nothing they're already doing, of course)

Is that what were talking about? Yahoo! is the other company?

B-but...they don't develop games at all...! Er, right? Does Yahoo happen to hold the rights to anything...?

It could be an MMO, A type of Internet Service, or do they dare make their own system!?

Sounds like you've uncovered it, ZealKnight.

This was unexpected after all. Just wish it were...uh...Chrono Yahoo! And not just...Yahoo! Yahoo! seems to have some kind of PC games download portal, so I wonder if this will just be SE offering a bunch of games through Yahoo! Or something.

You know, what if CTDS was just a marketing scheme just to get players new and old to bring back the Chrono series again and perhaps the money earned could help develop a remake of chrono cross! And then a third game could be in the works to tie in the storyline altogether with Schala as the main character.

Huh...

I always thought Google would be the one doing the changing.  What with their little China scare and everything...

Oh, well.

Not sure if this is it, but on Monday, SE announced the next Kingdom Hearts, this time PSP exclusive.

BBS has been mentioned for a long a time, alas, it has even got a japanese release already, so, no big news

Looks kinda like Nobunaga's Ambition.

...They could have done Chrono Tactics!!

Well, if this game is about Japan's Warring States era, I guess they weren't kidding when they said it would "change Japanese history." I'm still curious as to why SE's North America office got so involved in spreading the word. Guess it simply points to an English translation of the online game?
