Japanese Chrono Trigger

**Tails** · 08-04-2011, 08:07 PM

I basically just obtained a complete Japanese Chrono Trigger, box and all. For 12 bucks no less, I touched on it in the Ogre Battle topic (sorry DB I forgot to ask him about the price of the full Ogre Battle) looked at youtube and saw you can modfy your snes by using a game genie for it to work. Is it worth it?

If you get it to work, it probably will be. Chrono Trigger is awesome. I gotta master it on here someday.

Game Genie? All you need is a pair of wire cutters.

Even if you buy the part to make it work wouldn't it all be in Japanese? I'd look into selling it.

So basically just cut/rip them out real carefully? Now to go look for that in the tool chest xD

@DB: Even then I played CTrigger enough to know what I'm doing. I really don't want to resell tbh.

**Dudebro** · 08-04-2011, 08:31 PM

So will the game be in japanese? If so you'll still keep it? I don't get that kind of thing, just sell it.

**Kugyince** · 08-04-2011, 08:33 PM

It's a great find Tailsy. If I were you I'd keep it.

**Dudebro** · 08-04-2011, 08:34 PM

Keep it and do what, leave it on a shelf until you die?

**Kugyince** · 08-04-2011, 08:35 PM

Or, you know, play it.

**Tails** · 08-04-2011, 08:36 PM

^ exactly. I don't have wire cutters though.

**Kugyince** · 08-04-2011, 08:41 PM

Besides, some of the ending art is different and so are the status menus.

@Tailsy: I didn't see it in the pic but double check for a holofoil card. They were given out only to Japanese preorders and are pretty rare.

**Tails** · 08-04-2011, 08:49 PM

Nope, sadly don't have that. Tried to google it and came up with nothing.

did see this and I have everything in this screenshot minus the plastic bag.

**Tails** · 08-04-2011, 08:58 PM

Damn, that's pretty cool. o.o

Knowing me though I'd end up losing the card.

**joz** · 08-04-2011, 09:17 PM

I'll give you 20 bucks for it.

**Tails** · 08-04-2011, 09:45 PM

I'll pass Jozzy. xD

So.. on the box it says a sticker. 10488 Yen. Did a conversion..

¥ 10488 = $ 133.2148

Wut? O_o

**Kugyince** · 08-04-2011, 09:52 PM

Currency exchange rates fluctuate.

**Tails** · 08-04-2011, 09:53 PM

Several times a day right? Just seems odd I got it for 12 bucks. I've known him since he was my manager at the movie theaters in 2008, even got me Double Dragon Advance for cheap as well. o.o

**joz** · 08-04-2011, 09:57 PM

Could your friend hook us up too?

**Tails** · 08-04-2011, 10:09 PM

Really, if I remember I do want to link him here. He's known about it since I joined here. I prolly am repeating but he owns almost every NES game. actually here's a youtube vid on his arcade.

Way different now. Has even Space Jam arcade. Might be able to get him to post some stuff on here about selling stuff. I'm sure he'd love that.

So not to be difficult but are you really gonna open it and play it even though it's entirely in Japanese and you don't know the language(do you?)? I can understand collecting it if you're gonna sell it at some point but just holding onto it or decreasing it's value seems pointless.

**Kugyince** · 08-05-2011, 03:56 AM

See the images in the original post? It's already opened DB, playing it is not going to decrease it's value. Who cares about the value anyways? Only douche bags a.k.a. "collectors" buy games for their value. Tails is a gamer and like any other game, he bought this one because he wants to play it.

Sadly no, he does have Twinkle Star Sprites however.

@DB: Like I said I played CTrigger enough to know what to do.

**joz** · 08-05-2011, 08:18 AM

I'll give you 30 bucks for it. Don't make me come over to "borrow" it.
