Uh oh&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The SNES classic has been subject to plenty of ports over the years &#8211; including the original PlayStation and Nintendo DS incarnations &#8211; but the mobile version is easily the least popular. It&#8217;s not broken by any stretch of the imagination, but some bizarre changes to the game&#8217;s fonts and some ugly sprite filtering made it less than favourable among fans. And the PC version includes all those graphical niggles, only now it&#8217;s jumped from your smartphone to your Steam account.<\/p>\n<p>The Nintendo DS version &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/ds\/chrono_trigger\">which hit the handheld device in 2008<\/a> &#8211; is far more faithful to the SNES original, and manages to do so without somehow looking inferior to a game that came out generations prior.
