Celebrate Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edtion's Release With Some New Offical Art

  The wait is almost over! After months of rumours, and a surprise announcement during the last Nintendo Direct, Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition will be hitting Switch consoles around the world tomorrow. This package contains the 1999 PS1 classic  Chrono Cross , along with the never-before-localised sound novel  Radical Dreamers .

Does he use his tongue?) Anyway, in experimenting with different powers and becoming familiar with their use cases in several time-trial Treasure Hunts, I’ve started the habit of picking out three power abilities based on how drippy his fits are, along with how much light work they make out of enemies and boss fights. Honorable mentions to the  Bayone...
