Chrono Trigger, Mega Man X Heading to Wii Virtual Console

Nintendo of Japan have confirmed three new additions to the Wii's Virtual Console next month, including Chrono Trigger.

The SNES version of the much-loved RPG classic can finally be played on the big screen once again without the new for Homebrew, with an official release on Nintendo's service for 900 Wii Points.

The DS edition also captured the hearts of many fans and newcomers alike, receiving top marks in our review.

Square's Dream Team masterpiece is also joined by the equally popular Mega Man X from Capcom and King of the Monsters 2, both at 900 points each.

A good occasion for anyone who doesn't own a DS or SNES (or Playstation, though that version is the least recommendable of the bunch due to load times) to finally give this monster of a game a try Smilie .

I actually bought it for the DS for more money than that and I can't really get into it. I guess SNES rpgs don't appeal to me, since I was never able to finish FFVI either.

I wanted to buy the DS version when it was cheap but I was extremely busy at that time and I had more than enough RPGs for my DS anyways. Now it skyrocketed in price and Amazon doesn't sell it anymore and I really hate playing that type of RPG on a home console. :/

Well, I'm too lazy to post a full comment on this news right now... so I'm just 'gonna copy what I said yesterday on IGN's site. Smilie Besides, I wanna go play my sweet, brand-spanking new Cosmo Black 3DS! *joygasm* Smilie

"Mega Man X and Chrono Trigger are (finally) being released on the Japanese Virtual Console? That's epic, but I'm going to be super pissed if Capcom doesn't release them in the U.S., too. I've been waiting a VERY long time for them. *ugh*

I want to know why in the hell Capcom hasn't released Mega Man 5, 6, 7, 64, Soccer, & Wily Wars on Virtual Console, yet either. Likewise, I REALLY want Mega Man X2 & X3 (especially X3) on Virtual Console. *sigh*

There are so many games I'm STILL waiting to be released on Virtual Console here in the States (not just from Capcom, obviously). StarFox, Rogue Squadron, Shadows of the Empire, Pilotwings 64, Yoshi's Island, Super Mario All-Stars, Mario Party 1 & 3, Battle for Naboo, Episode I: Racer, TMNT IV: Turtles in Time, Excitebike 64, Turok 1-3 & Rage Wars, Body Harvest, Earthbound, Mischief Makers, Tetris Attack, Donkey Kong 64… there are simply way too many to list here. And these are just the games from Nintendo's systems! What the hell is going on here?!"

Chance favors the prepared mind.

I traded some games and got the CT DS not too long ago, it's a great game, I'm about half way through atm, but I'll definitely play through it again to see if I get a different ending.
