Great comment Chris. Very good examples with Disgaea for PSP and MGS Twin Snakes.

I think you have a good point that unless you have the same game released on the same system, it probably won't lower the price much if at all.

Thanks for that insight and examples.

Maybe a mediocre example for comparison is Disgaea...

Maybe a mediocre example for comparison is Disgaea's rerelease for the PSP. Granted, the game is much newer than Chrono Trigger, but it also had a reprint that seemed not to negatively impact it's resale value.

Truth be told, Chrono Trigger has had a reprint in the form of the PS1 Final Fantasy Chronicles set. The PS1 version had its ups (bonuses if you will)& downs (disc format slowdowns) but the value of the SNES original still demands a hefty price.

When it comes to remakes, it seems like unless they are on the same platform, the originals do not suffer (unless the remake is dominantly superior to the original) & will have a sizeable demand.

Another remake vs. original example is the original MGS & MGS the Twin Snakes for the GCN. I can not believe the current price of Twin Snakes but it is a fact that the revamped remake is more expensive as of now.

The question that needs to be asked is whether people will be satisfied with a "better" version on the DS that has more stuff, on a portable platform, & for whatever reason that Chrono Trigger needs it; online play, or will people be convinced that this classic best be played in its original form.
