But ActRaiser is just one of the games that can only be officially purchased on the Wii Shop Channel Virtual Console – unless you own the original SNES cartridge and a console to play it on, of course. Notable titles set to vanish include ActRaiser, Chrono Trigger, Earthworm Jim, Earthworm Jim 2, Super Smash Bros., A Boy and His Blob: Trouble on Blobolonia, Castlevania: Rondo of Blood, DoReMi Fantasy: Milon’s DokiDoki Adventure, Gradius III, Landstalker: The Treasures of King Nole and Super Star Wars.Ī few of these can be bought elsewhere – for example, Super Star Wars can be downloaded for PS4 and Vita, and Chrono Trigger was released on cartridge for the Nintendo DS (although it’s quite hard to get hold of these days). Notably, there are more than 200 titles currently available on the Wii Shop Channel Virtual Console that can’t be downloaded on Wii U or 3DS – and many aren’t available to download anywhere else, unless you want to step into the murky world of unofficial emulation. The Virtual Console has also appeared on the Wii U and 3DS, but the selection on games on each system is quite different. The Wii Shop Channel launched in 2006 and there are now around 300 games available through its Virtual Console storefront. Thanks again from all of us on the Chrono Trigger team.Ĭhrono Trigger is available on the Super NES, PlayStation, Nintendo DS, iOS, Android, and PC.Classic SNES games including ActRaiser, Chrono Trigger and Earthworm Jim are going to disappear from sale when the Wii Shop Channel finally shuts down in January 2019.

For now, be assured that we’re working very hard on adjusting, updating and supporting Chrono Trigger on Steam.Īs Chrono Trigger is going to receive patches over the coming months, we are going to extend the availability of the Limited Edition until:ĥPM, April 30th BST / 9AM, April 30th PDT We’ll post a full list of changes here when the first patch is released. We’re aiming to release the first of these patches in the first half of April, and the biggest change is that it will include an option to switch between the current high-resolution graphics, and the original graphical style of Chrono Trigger. We have been working on addressing the issues that you’ve raised, and will be releasing a number of patches over the coming months as we continue to support Chrono Trigger on Steam. Thanks for all of your feedback, patience and support so far.
