=== Nintendo DS ===
On July 2, 2008, Square Enix announced that they were planning to bring ''Chrono Trigger'' to the [[Nintendo DS]] handheld platform.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://na.square-enix.com/ctds/ |title=Chrono Trigger for Nintendo DS |publisher=Square Enix |access-date=February 16, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130510035803/http://na.square-enix.com/ctds/ |archive-date=May 10, 2013}}</ref> Composer [[Yasunori Mitsuda]] was pleased with the project, exclaiming "finally!" after receiving the news from Square Enix and maintaining, "it's still a very deep, very high-quality game even when you play it today. I'm very interested in seeing what kids today think about it when they play it."<ref name="famitsujuly2008" /> Square retained Masato Kato to oversee the port, and [[Tose (company)|Tose]] to program it.<ref name="dsultimania" /> Kato explained, "I wanted it to be based on the original Super NES release rather than the PlayStation version. I thought we should look at the additional elements from the PlayStation version, re-examine and re-work them to make it a complete edition. That's how it struck me and I told the staff so later on."<ref name="dsultimania" /> Square Enix touted the game by displaying Akira Toriyama's original art at the 2008 [[Tokyo Game Show]].<ref name="famitsutgs">{{cite web |title=【ブースリポート】スクウェア・エニックスブースでは『FFXIII』ほかの最新映像を上映 |publisher=Famitsu |date=October 9, 2008 |url=http://www.famitsu.com/event/tgs/2008/1218697_1829.html |access-date=October 13, 2008 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081012051722/http://www.famitsu.com/event/tgs/2008/1218697_1829.html |archive-date=October 12, 2008 |language=ja}}</ref>
