Will New DS Chrono Trigger Change Original's Price

Tuesday, July 8, 2008 - Square-Enix officially announced Chrono Trigger DS on Sunday. The game will be a remake of the original Super Nintendo Chrono Trigger with a new dungeon, online play, and touch screen support. The question for video game collectors though is will this new game change the price of the original? Should you sell your SNES Chrono Trigger before prices plummet or will prices increase and I should buy a copy now?

We've shown in this blog a couple times before that new games in a series usually raise the price of the earlier games. People get excited for the new game coming out and want to prepare by playing the originals or they beat the new game and want to try out the originals. Whatever the reason, the demand for the classic games increases while supply is constant. So resale prices increase.

But Chrono Trigger DS is a remake and the SNES version is already one of the most expensive Super Nintendo games (Sealed versions of the game sell for almost $1,000). Gamers could essentially buy the same game with some new features for $39.99 instead of paying $55 for a used copy on the SNES. Will people decide to buy the cheaper game instead so demand for Chrono Trigger Super NES actually drops?

I can't say for sure because I haven't seen a similar situation before, but my bet is prices increasing for the SNES game. I think the new game will spark more interest in the original and resale prices will increase. The prices won't go up as much as other games have because it is already so pricey, but there will be an increase.

What is your prediction? I'll revisit this topic in November and see how everyone did.

I also included the trailer for Chrono Trigger DS. Enjoy.
