The Tokyo Olympics opening kicked off early this morning, and the parade of nations, where athletes walk through Japan's Olympic stadium, had a Japanese twist. A medley of videogame music, orchestrated, formed the soundtrack for the parade. It all kicked off with the main theme from Dragon Quest -- which sounds pretty Olympian outright -- followed by hits from Final Fantasy, Monster Hunter, Nier, Sonic, Chrono Trigger and, er, eFootball. There are some notable omissions -- no Nintendo songs (Pokemon? Zelda?) being the biggest one -- but some Street Fighter II songs might have fitted well into the competitive theme.

Fans of the role-playing video game Chrono Trigger enjoyed a surprise Tuesday: a version of the classic title launched on PC. Square Enix confirmed it launched Chrono Trigger -- originally available in the 1990s on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System -- on the Steam marketplace for PC players. The publisher said the PC version of the game will include two dungeons originally available in versions released on the Nintendo DS handheld and smartphones. The game will also have updated graphics, sound and controls, as well as an autosave feature. Video game players were buzzing about the release of Chrono Trigger for PC because it's widely considered among the best video games ever made. The role-playing game stars hero Crono, who must travel through time to save a planet similar to Earth.
