It's previously reported that Square Enix's Chrono Trigger for the DS will be having a holiday release, but so far we haven't got hold of an actual date or pricing...until now. Upon checking online retail store GameStop, Chrono Trigger for the DS is pegged for a December 1 release, with a price tag worth US$ 39.99.

We don't know about it's price tag, but the December 1 release date somehow looks like a placeholder. Some sources have said that if the 1st of the month tagged as the game's release date isn't on a Tuesday (in this case, December 1 falls on a Monday), it's probably a placeholder.

But that's alright - as long as the game ships before the year ends, we're going to be happy and shedding sentimental tears. We do hope that the US$ 40 is also a placeholder price, though. While we understand that getting the original game would obviously cost more, it's still a bit steep for what can be considered as a port.
