Square-Enix says there's a 50/50 chance the classic SNES RPG may re-surface.
Let's face it, Nintendo and Square-Enix may never fully return to the coziness they once shared from the 80s to mid 90s. While conducting an interview with 1UP.com on their recent negotiations with Nintendo, however, the company might've inadvertently started a frenzy.
Square-Enix Senior VP Hiromichi Tanaka began the interview discussing the company's efforts to get Nintendo to loosen its friend code restrictions, but the topic soon shifted to something much more eye-widening. Tanaka dismissed whispers that a Chrono Trigger sequel was in the works due to the game's original team being dissolved. However, he did reveal the possibility that the original SNES Chrono Trigger could be released for the Wii's Virtual Console sometime in the future.
Apparently, the settlement of copyright issues will determine if a plan for a Trigger landing on Wii comes to fruition. No further information on this development has been revealed at this time. Stay tuned.
