So logically, the Nintendo DS has more RAM, can handle bigger ROMs, but it definitely has a lower screen resolution than the SNES. This is only logical if you compare NDS Games (such as Mario Kart DS) with SNES Games (such as Super Mario Kart). The NDS version of Chrono Trigger, for example, is 128 MB big while the SNES version is 4MB big (honestly I have no idea what Square Enix used the additional 124 MB for)

NDS Cartridges can hold up to 512 MB big ROMS (that's half a Gigabyte) while SNES ROMs merely are at most 4 MB big (or 6 MB with some enhancements present in a small number of games), which means that NDS-Games can be up to 128x as big as SNES games. What's located on the Cartridge is the so-called "ROM" (Read only memory, as games are only read but not written to) and (in most cases) a flash-memory for storing a buch of data such as saves and maybe statistics. With 4MB RAM, the Nintendo DS (or Nintendo DS Lite) has 32 times as much RAM as the SNES (which merely has 128 KB RAM). Sorry for reviving this thread but I'd just like to remark, that, of course, the RAM of a game isn't located on the Cartridge, it is located on the console itself. Unless the Steam version of CT receives some major updates to address a host of issues still present with it, the SNES version will remain the most polished and definitive version of CT. I also don't like that the NDS version cutscenes are jarring and disruptive, and what they show is contradictory to what actually happens in the game. the NDS version has worse colouring than the SNES versionĪnd then there's the NDS version's "bonus" content, which is of sub-par quality and lowers the overall quality standard of the game. the NDS version has a worse UI than the SNES version the NDS version has a worse font than the SNES version the NDS version has lower sound and music quality than the SNES version the NDS version has music cycling issues that aren't in the SNES version

the NDS version has a lower resolution than the SNES version the NDS version has a much more clunky and sterile, much less emotionally-intelligent translation The NDS version is a major downgrade from the SNES version: The SNES version is hands-down the definitive version of Chrono Trigger.
