  • FF3 was only released in Japan for the NES and in English ONLY on the DS

  • I wanna get this for the ds

  • i only got to the final stage of the last boss...he was so fucking overpowered for being a weaker form...

  • Chrono Trigger is one of my favorite RPGs of all time! I also love the New Game+ mode, where you can start a new game with all the levels, items, and weapons that you've acquired (after completing the game the first time). In addition, it's awesome that there are 13+ endings to the game (the 14th ending was added in the DS version). Out of all the versions that I've played, I'd say that the SNES and DS ones are the best!

  • Sux tht the NES verson of FFIII is only in Japan but the Only English version is on the DS

  • Consequences of changing the timeline?Hmm....Sounds kinda like Back to the Future,but much more in depth.

  • I respect you calling it Final Fantasy III as it was originally released as that in the states, but you need to clarify it is actually Final Fantasy VI as the real Final Fantasy III is on the DS.

  • i hate his voice!!!!!!!!!!

  • HOLD UP at 0:55 isn't that the EXACT same thing as character's house in Pokemon only a different color scheme and furniture?

  • @xclaimer365 wut?

  • He says EB is overrated? And what, this isn't? I love em both, but they're both overrated.

  • PEOPLE! HE'S NOT GONNA REVIEW EITHER EARTHBOUND OR MOTHER 3! He's called the wiiviewer, he reviews wii games. It's physically impossible to review either game, so stop whining.

  • @watercat8 He review his ARCADE AND PLAYCHOICE GAMES. That could make him review earthbound

  • Ugh... I think I got brain damage from the plot... Chrono reminds me of Natsu from Fairy Tail. It's also the really random nickname I gave my Purrloin... And Purrloins the name of my cat... I don't think you should fight over Earthbound, wether it's over rated or not. Just respect each others opinions, ne? Good.

  • Review was fine except for the rant about the switching party members. I believe the game explains how and why its suppose to be that way. And its 3 characters is normal for an RPG so don't go too deep into that.

  • Should I get earthbound?

  • @daneboealt I'd recommend it, but it's not for everyone :/

  • Since you dont like earthbound why dont you review mother 3?

  • love this game, nice intro btw

  • Hey wiiveiwer, can u review chio aniki for wiiware for 900 wii points?

  • Two most classic?

    What about poor old EarthBound, Wiiviewer? :l

  • @themangOMEGA

    Everyone knows my feelings on the way overrated EarthBound.

  • @wiiviewr You, and so many other people played only the first town of EarthBound, which is easily the worst part of EarthBound.

    If you force yourself through the beginning, you'll find a completely unique experience with awesome story, tons of pop culture references to the 90s, and one of the best RPG soundtracks of all time.

  • @themangOMEGA

    1. I finished the game, in fact I still have it plus the strategy guide.

    2. Any game where you have to FORCE yourself though the beginning is not a well made game. A great game should be great from beginning to end.

    3. Why do you assume people who disagree with you about Earthbound have never played it. Isn't it more possible that they did and they saw first hand how over rated it is?

  • @wiiviewr 1. You finished all of EarthBound, and still say it's bad? Meh. Okay, then. It's your own opinion.

    2. What about Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney? I don't know if anyone else had this problem, but I found the absolute first case to drag along really slowly with all the dialogue. I'm not saying Phoenix Wright is a bad game, I'm just saying it's beginning felt slow to me.

    3. People tend to instantly attack EarthBound for it's graphics and slow beginning. Just look at the AVGNZero's review.

  • @themangOMEGA

    1. Yes, I trugged though the entire game. There were many times where I almost stopped playing, but everyone said it was good.

    2. I loved PW from the beginning to the end.

    3. Never seen AVGNZero.

  • @wiiviewr That means you don't like EarthBound as an opinion.

    I hate to admit it, but not everyone does like EarthBound. But saying it's over-rated all because you don't like it and everyone else does? That's not right. That's like if I said the Legend of Zelda is overrated all because I don't prefer it. (I'm more of a Metroid guy, really.)

  • @wiiviewr Please review mother 3

  • @wiiviewr You may dislike EB, but have you played mother 3? That game will have you in tears, uh, the sad ones, not the happy or laughter ones :P

  • @wiiviewr Earthbound was alright but the sequel was WWWAAAAAAY better.too bad it wasnt released in america....:(

  • @wiiviewr I agree that Earthbound is overrated, but I still like it. It's an average game, in my opinion. As for Final Fantasy 3, though, that's an overrated game. Since you only rented it, I'm assuming you never saw the esper system? I liked FF3 until the esper system came along, then I gradually began to hate the game. But Chrono Trigger is still my favorite game of all time. I don't think there's an RPG out there that even comes close to Chrono Trigger's perfection.

  • @themangOMEGA Alright then, ill finish this off with this note:

    Earthbound and Final Fantasy VII Are the most overated games ever, and for that reason, they suck.

  • @wiiviewr What if I just played Game Party for five minutes and instantly said "THIS GAME SUCKS AND IS THE MOST OVERRATED GARBAGE EVER!"?

  • @wiiviewr Isnt Earthbound a cult classic? its more underrated then anything unles you mean its overrated in the "cult" that likes it

  • @wiiviewr what about the ds version

  • @wiiviewr i love how you call EarthBound overrated,when it's actually VERY underrated.

  • @themangOMEGA Earthbound is over rated. I did beat the whole game before but found no draw to ever replay it. If it was truely good then it would get a huge fan base as opposed to the cult following it has.

  • @themangOMEGA Unfortunately I share WiiViewer's opinion. I didn't find Earthbound all that enjoyable at all even though I did play all the way through it.

  • Love the intro :).

  • 4:11 or play it on a emulator for free :P

  • THE FUCK ABOUT EARTHBOUND?

    EarthBound >>>>> Chrono Trigger

  • @SkyMaro He would review if it was actually on the VC. :P

  • LOL...I got a Tobuscus video as an adertisement...double video win?

  • I love this game. So good. Most of the time with classics like this, it's hard for me to get into them because of their older gameplay and higher difficulty. This game friggon dominates my nostalgia now and it was the first game to make me realize there's plenty of good things about visiting classics for the first time.

  • @Yamtendo The only problem is, it's hard (if not impossible) to find another as good as this one. If you're looking for classic RPG's I'd recommend Mario RPG, FF3(6), Secret of Mana. They aren't as good as CT but all great games and worth playing over any number of times.

  • @bobomber Yeahh some people call CT overrated but they're full of weed I've never heard of. FF6! Oh my john! Just started playing that game on my PS1 version. Really great game! Not as good as CT like you say, but I am WAY impressed. I like how each character has such a unique skill, like Sabin's combos, Shadow's throw, and Cyan's sword techs. Again, not as good as CT in my book, but friggon awesome game. A-

  • This is definitely the best game of all time.

  • Great review. BTW you can change characters without going to End of Time. You press Y to open up the character switch menu.

  • @NIK12787 I'm pretty sure he did cover that @2:48.

  • i dont realy like this game its not good to me

  • the intro is so awesome! it has inspired me!

  • FINALLY! I've been waiting for this :D

  • Thank you so much for suggesting this. The game is fantastic.

  • Love the game, hate the battle system.

  • look at how long the vid is XD 420!!!!

  • I'd hate to be that guy given how much people loved the game but I just found it over all to be cliche and kind of boring. THESE DAYS. I'm sure back when it came out it was amazing but playing it now there are just other RPGs you can play that are more interesting and better written.

  • There are multiple endings to let you know.

  • I downloaded the rom of this a few years ago and totally fell in love with it. Beautiful music for an snes game. I really enjoyed the story.

  • @EpicDuckDestruction sry but i hate ur dream. rap sucks. i dont like it. most have foul language and bad messages. so i shall not support u i give u thumbs down to counter anyone who thumbs u up. also i mark as spam. ur welcome world.

  • @ConfusedHobbes besides the show goes on. You can't hate the show goes on.

  • @EpicDuckDestruction stop spamming

  • @The0DarkStar the game is only in Europe and japan

  • @EpicDuckDestruction you should try american idol

  • Wiiviewr Please make a review for Xenoblade , Its so so so Amazing !!

  • @The0DarkStar

    It wasn't released in America.

  • Comment removed

  • @internetakias1 Yeah lol I forgot , I just dont think that anyone should miss this game , because it isnt just the best RPG on the Wii , But its the best RPG of this generation :D

  • @The0DarkStar *any generation

  • @internetakias1 That's why you import it...

  • @AnnoyingNavi But then you have to either buy a PAL Wii or hack your own so it can play PAL games.

  • @drumsticks57 and that's a problem why??

  • @AnnoyingNavi Because not only does modding any console void the warranty, but you can also seriously screw it up if you don't know what you're doing. As for buying a new console, why do that just for one game?

  • @AnnoyingNavi

    He doesn't use the homebrew channel.

  • @The0DarkStar That's not out in the USA... I pirated it saved it onto my flashdrive hacked the crap out of my wii and managed to play the Europe version.

  • @The0DarkStar It's not out in the US.

  • this game starts off easy gets really hard and i love it

  • Please review Dragon Quest X when it comes out!

  • Has this only come out on the US VC? We've had it for a few months, but it took  SEVENTEEN YEARS to release Chrono Trigger in the UK :D

  • @LarryBundyJr u know there was a DS version?

  • oh been waiting for this one... I LOVE Chrono Trigger, it's actually the ONLY RPG I highly recommend, I mean what other RPG ever had a battle system like it? None, it's a pioneer! ;)

  • @CMZ007rules Like it, how? Without transitions? With dual attacks?

  • @frostare those too, but the whole continuing battle system with no boring extreme pauses, the sense of urgency, and a story that could be epic, but be fully contained in one game, not to mention all the different dual and triple techs. And leveling up etc is WAY easier, and more accessible. There's alot more, which is why I kept my first comment simple. lol

  • can you plz upload more reviews before the summer vacation is finished

    20 days left (i am actually crying right now as it was boring awful and...... no trips) i have been sleeping 24/7/30/4

  • when r they gonna drop earth bound 2(mother2 in jpn) on the VC

  • I love chrono trigger! XD

  • hey dude, love the opening and I love Chrono Trigger

  • Does anyone Know if this version of the game includes the same cut scenes from the DS version??? 0_o

  • @hermosapeach Nope. This is the SNES version, the very first version, and the console was not capable of full motion video. There was a Playstation version though, which uses CDs, and was capable of full motion video, thus that's where the FMV cutscenes come from in the DS version. There is though one cutscene I found missing oddly, and that was the scene to introduce the beginning of the game, not the game intro.

  • @Ketorulz Thnx man seems you are a big fan I never got to play this as a kid now I do which would you reccomend playin that is if you've played them all I got some Wii Points left but I'm not sure cause for awhile now I've been wanting to get a Ds. Any opinions? ^_^

  • @hermosapeach I actually only played the DS one. I looked up the differences, and I can tell you that the DS version is the best. The ability to navigate the menus quicker and having extra content and endings makes it more worthwhile. It might be cheaper for you though to get the VC version though. 8 bucks compared to 100 bucks for one game? Not a chance. But remember that I got a DS Lite in 2008 so it's different. For you, save yourself the money and just get the SNES version on the Wii VC.

  • @Ketorulz The DS version is indeed better, as it also stands true to many of the original characteristics of the original version.

  • finally

  • nice intro

  • Chrono Trigger is definitely one of the best games of all TIME! Get it! Get it!?!?! *Goes to a corner and cries*

  • @PrinceGale HA....HA....HAHA

  • to answer your question 3:06 you only have 1 gate key so another party cant do what they want with the teleporters

  • i wish earthbound would come out for the VC T^T (i played that and illusion of gaia  instead of CT lol)

  • Virtual Console? Fuck that, this rom has been hiding in my folders for about 3 years :P

  • I'm getting it on the ds. Portable goodness.

  • This game is classic. Glad you chose to review it. Now even though I was very young when the game was released, I still treasure it. Great review man

  • Man, with all the great RPG's the SNES has to offer, its a shame Earthbound can't be brought over to the VC.

  • one of the best game ever....

  • 100 comment lol

  • I wanna play this! But not on wii. Are there any remakes for chrono trigger out there?

  • @dak3089 It's on the DS, too.

  • @dak3089 there is also a version for PSX, but I don't recommend it as it has some painfully long load times. But that would be better than not playing it at all if you have no other option. Also...emulators

  • @wiiviewr

    at 0:32 its Final Fantasy 6.

  • @RKTGX95 No FF3 i have it

  • @RKTGX95 Final Fantasy 3 in America, Final Fantasy 6 in Japan.

  • @haydos271 Well, Final Fantasy 3 in america as well. (now) Just not the SNES copy.

  • This is my favorite RPG ever, it was also the first ever RPG I ever played.

  • @RapperJJJ haha that sucks. After that, I bet every other game was a let down.

  • nice video do you know the band squeese

  • Great work as always, but do you think you could acknowledge the point cost for oversea viewers? Over here in Europe, CT was never released on SNES so the price would be 100 points more expensive.

  • @Spagettieater9000 but does it really matter?

  • Crono died at the end of this vid. R.I.P Crono

  • oh god... chorono trigner... i love this game..

  • I so need to buy this game!

  • Also don't forget about the Multiple Endings the game had depending on how and where you dealt with the final boss

  • I ordered the original NES game, Dragon Quest, for five bucks. I came from playing the EXCELLENT Dragon Quest IX, thinking "How different can it be?" It is MUCH harder. I almost thought that i was playing Ninja Reflex!

  • Chrono Trigger= Possibly my favorite game of all time if not in the top 3 for sure! A must Buy like right when you finish reading this comment. GO BUY IT! Weither the snes, Ps1, DS or VC version their all WIN! oh and Square Enix MAKE A NEW ONE!

  • this looks like it's not going to be fun; for me...

  • @redrobin948 it will be :)

  • i asked him if he could do this review holy crap

  • Nuce review! I liked it. Looks interesting. :) Are you going to make a special video for your 300th video?

  • can you review pikmin?

  • awesome intro

  • Play "Chrono Cross" on the Playstation, thats a great RPG and I love it.

  • @billruller sorry but he only does wii games wii ware and virtual console so basically if you can play it on the wii and its less than 1 year old he'll review it

  • @TheReyeske lol I meant play it, not review it. I should've said it that way :P But he does have a PS2, and Chrono Cross is a sequal to this. I If he loves RPG's, he'll will deffinetly love this.

  • I thought the next episode would either be Active Life Explorer or Opoona. You already did Truth or Lies from you "Weird Games on the Wii" List from that Cyberbike review. Why not do the rest.

  • you should have mentioned the fact that the game has over 10 endings =D

  • @kingvideogames I think you're thinking of secret of mana. The games do have similar art style.

  • First: Im a HUGE RPG fan!

    This is one of the best RPGs out there. Have finished the game like 5-6 times both on Snes and on the DS, yet there is something that gets me to play it again and again and again. Thats proof that this is one of the best games ever made. some RPGs I play once and then I dont have the patience to play through them again a second time.

  • .....chrono's real name is hank.......

  • i have this on the wii but i'm looking forward to the psn version.i'm still on the fence about playing it in new game +. is there anything additional to it besides having your weapons and learned techs. FYI I already have all the optional quests done.

  • @manoftomorrow79 it gives you access to some neat endings

  • i luv classic rpgs. i wish i had the chance to play this one but sadly i cant. to me the best rpg ever is Final Fantasy 9

  • what would you guys recommend ds or wii

  • @13dprime hate for wii-u since itll be out in like a year or get the 3ds

  • @sephiroth21347 im sure he's talking about which version of chrono trigger, the VC or the DS remake

  • i hate rpgs i'm just not good at them

  • The PC did these kind of RPG's much better at the time. This game ain't bad but there's better RPG's to spend your money on.

  • I don't have the patience for most RPGs, but there is something special about Chrono Trigger which keeps me hooked.

  • This is the best RPG of all time, well to me anyway.

  • Worth a buy? Try telling Joshscorcher that...

  • meh, looks sucky. i'm a zelda man i like killing things without taking turns. turns based RPG's always looked boring to me.

  • the side quests near the end of the game was the only confusing part imo. there was no direction, but u can do any of the quests in your order before advancing.

  • i KNEW! this was coming

    

  • pie

  • @kumatora0203 pinkie pie? or just normal pie?

  • Ha, I just started playing this game a week ago. Great game, so far.

    

  • I don't like RPG's that much.

  • @benboy803 Yeah those Rocket Propelled Grenades are a real annoyance! lol

  • This game is amazing. Very worth playing.

  • I was considering buying this. Sounds good, does it work with GC controller, or just the classic?

  • @insanehuman19 It works with the Gamecube controller but because of the button layout I recommend the classic

  • @AQreviews OK, thanks. I have SMW for VC, and I hate the layout they chose for GC controller. I feel like we should be able to choose the button setup we want to use, without having to buy another controller. Oh, well, I love Nintendo anyway.

  • @insanehuman19 You can never stay mad at Nintendo ;)

  • @insanehuman19 Yes, but there are interestingly some games that allowed you to change the controls IN-GAME, and it was fairly well mapped to Gamecube controller. e.g Super Metroid. You just have to hope certain old games had that option.

  • you do know that Final Fantasy 3 is also on the Wii's vcon too right?

  • how long is this game? a long 80 hours or what???

  • @SavedByGODsGrace777 Probably 20-25 hours your first time

  • @bobomber

    hmm... That sounds pretty decent.

    Thanks for responding. :3

  • Very nice review. I'm surprised you have not reviewed the Mario and Sonic series (Olympic Games). Why not give that a try?

  • Thanks for not being biased on your review toward this game. I also grew up with old RPGs like Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy 3.

  • Apparently the DS remake has an extra ending that helps the story segue smoothly into Chrono Cross.

  • Why did you put Chrono Trigger in 720p? You are aware that 720p wasn't around when it was written, and the wii doesn't output in 720p, right?

  • finally a hard core game! :D i was getting sick of all those casual game reviews...

  • @mkocja5a amen

  • @mkocja5a what just dance summer party isnt "hardcore" enough for you :P jk
