The port team, made up of members of the original development team, conducted a labor of love to get everything looking as good as possible on the handheld's tiny screen.

Sadly, Nintendo's own Mini SNES does not support its original cart hardware and can only play what's pre-installed on it, unless. Our resident retro expert Tom recently discovered that the Super Nt made things looks just as good as his memory fools him into thinking they were, but there are other options with a newly announced console from Hyperkin called the Supa Retron HD which can also play original carts for slightly cheaper. The Analogue Super Nt is probably your best bet for enjoying the original pixel art and pleasing fonts upscaled onto a modern flatscreen.

Chrono Trigger's surprise Steam release yesterday reminded us that Square Enix don't really care too much about doing justice to their old games.
