Legendary RPG Chrono Trigger continues its expansion across platforms. Square Enix has announced that Chrono Trigger will be available on iPhone and iPod Touch in December.

As seen by the first screenshot, the UI will be adjusted for the iOS touch screen release. Player status has been moved to the top of the screen, with large, touchable icons appearing on the bottom of the screen. The font has also been adjusted to be more legible, although purists will likely find the changes a bit disconcerting.

The release will support eight text languages: Japanese, English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Simple, and Traditional Chinese. No price has been set yet.

Square Enix hasn't announced release details of an Android version, but did confirm that a version was in the works. The SNES classic most recently found re-release on PlayStation Network for $9.99.

      YES. I don't carry my DS anymore so this would make my day. Just take the same touch based setup from the DS and adapt for fingers.

        Oh I see the preview shot. I don't really care if it's flawed, having CT on the go will be awesome

        Do you really think they could even properly do a sequel? I don't.

        The level of attention to detail and such that was put into games that came out in that era is rare nowadays. It's unlikely that a sequel would garner as much funding as required to do it to today's standards. Let us live off of nostalgia for as long as possible.

        SNESoid, I played through and beat it already on my SGS1. Works just fine. I haven't done any emulator stuff on my SGS2 yet, but I imagine it's better with the slightly larger size and better specs.

      I bet it will be $18.99 or something and no one will buy it or talk about it.

        FF1 has annoying controls, I find I have to double tap or hold it down for it to register in battles. Compared to other apps it just seems off. It needs an update (plus retina support)

            Is there a DS version of FF1? I know they came out on the GBA.

            If you already have FF1 iphone just play that. It's not *that* bad.

                It does but I have to be honest, what I've seen of FF origins gba looks kind of weak. The music and graphics on the iphone version are better.

                There are some strange additions though, like regular MP versus the per level stuff of the original. I also noticed more shit to buy in the first town.

                I assume this stuff was in the PSP release though
