Chrono Trigger goes vinyl again
Square Enix released a new Chrono Trigger soundtrack vinyl LP collection this week — a collector-grade press aimed at game-music fans and audiophiles. (essential-japan.com) Nintendo also pushed soundtrack updates on Mar. 25 for legacy titles (Wrecking Crew, Tennis), reflecting a broader push to reissue classic game music. (gonintendo.com)
The Square Enix listing shows the CHRONO TRIGGER Original Soundtrack Vinyl LP Box spans 64 tracks across four 12-inch LPs and carried a March 25, 2026 release date in Japan. (jp.square-enix.com) Square Enix priced the box at ¥17,600 (tax-excluded ¥16,000) and assigned catalog number SQEX-11217-20 in its January press release. (prtimes.jp) The product page and retail listings note Akira Toriyama cover illustrations for each record and a commemorative message from composer Yasunori Mitsuda printed inside the box lid. (jp.square-enix.com) Discogs’ entry and retailer pages list the release as a 4×LP limited-edition pressing with a full track breakdown that includes previously unreleased cues flagged in the listing. (discogs.com) North American and European storefronts show pre-orders and later-region availability (Square Enix North America marks the item for pre-order and third-party reporting places EU/US windows in April 2026). (na.store.square-enix-games.com) (retrorgb.com) Nintendo’s March 25, 2026 update to its Nintendo Music service added the track “Meetup in Bellabel Park” from Super Mario Bros. Wonder — a continuation of weekly content drops to the mobile app. (gonintendo.com) Nintendo Music is a mobile streaming app available only to Nintendo Switch Online members and originally launched on October 31, 2024, as Nintendo’s dedicated game-soundtrack service. (nintendo.com) The March 25 addition follows a major July 2025 expansion when Nintendo added roughly two dozen NES/Famicom soundtracks — including classic entries such as Wrecking Crew and Tennis — underscoring Nintendo’s ongoing program of reissuing legacy game music on the service.
