Chrono Cross Remaster Is Real and Is Out Soon

ign.com:

The Chrono Cross remaster is actually, really real, and Nintendo showed off the first look of it at today's Nintendo Direct. Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition, is out on Nintendo Switch on April 7, 2022.

The Radical Dreamers Edition includes updates like the ability to turn off encounters and an enhanced soundtrack. As noted in the game's title, this edition also includes the Radical Dreamers text adventure that was previously exclusive to the Satellaview.

Chrono Cross remaster rumors have been swirling for some time now, beginning with reports of a "big remake" announcement for around Christmas time this year, and then further reports that this was actually a Chrono Cross remaster. We were all further riled up when mobile JRPG Another Eden announced a Chrono Cross collaboration, especially since its cinematic trailer set to Time Scar looked so dang good.

IGN loved Chrono Cross when it first released way back in 2000, though it's gotten mixed reception due to not being a direct sequel to Chrono Trigger and instead being a strange alternative universe spin-off. A remaster is exciting news though, as aside from owning an original disc or having access to PlayStation Classics, there's been no legitimate way to play Chrono Cross since it came out.
