According to the Japanese developer, the game is for a system that has yet to be released.

In a Famitsu interview, Level 5 CEO Akihiro Hino revealed that they are working on a new title that deals with time traveling for a system that hasn't been released. Naturally, that led to speculation that the game might be for Nintendo's new handheld, the 3DS.

The storyline for this unknown title will be penned by Jiro Ishii, who worked with Sega on the Japanese-only Wii game, 428. Hino said that this new game has the potential to be a popular series for Level 5.

Level 5 is known best for the Professor Layton series, their work on the most recent Dragon Quest titles, and the Dark Cloud series. In North America, their next release will be Dragon Quest IX, which is slated to come out this summer for the DS and will be published by Nintendo.

Wouldn't it be Chrono Trigger 3DS since Chrono Cross is technically #2 in the series?

The 3DS is more powerful than I imagined :-*

Chrono Cross is the third game in the series. The second game, Radical Dreamers, was only released in Japan.

Funny, I thought this game would have been better suited for the 4DS.

But Radical Dreamers: Nusumenai Hōseki was only a sidestory, plus it was just a text adventure.

Both Radical Dreamers and Chrono Cross are sidestories. (In fact, Chrono Cross is a quasi-remake of Radical Dreamers.)

I don't think there will ever be a true sequel to Chrono Trigger, and that's okay. The expectations for such a game would be nearly impossible for SquareEnix to meet or exceed.

I would love to see a true sequel to Chrono Trigger. But you are right about how the expectations for the game would probably be too much for SE to handle. However, my biggest expectation is to just see it get made. Fans really deserve to have this franchis brought back into the lime light. If the game is successful, they could to do a sequel to super mario RPG.
