First Mario RPG, now Secret of Mana to Virtual Console

[Julius Seeker]

It was just released in Japan. This is big news (another Square/Enix game) particularly with the release of ActRaiser earlier as well. This makes me MUCH more hopeful for a Soul Blazer release =)



Of course, before Illusions and Terranigma.

Oooh...Secret of Mana...that'd be nice to have.

Jeremy Parish has a good point that this is probably a signal of what plans Square-Enix has for the franchise: http://www.gamespite.net/verbalspew/arc ... 8.php#e771

(Spoiler: none.)

And what was the last good Mana game? That would be Secret of Mana. (Maybe SD3, but it was never released to the US.) Everything after that totally sucked, and that's because they didn't stick with a formula that works.

Also, MULTIPLE FUCKING PLAYERS, BITCHES!!!

I agree

Multi was the only thing that saved SoM. Have you tried to play it solo? It's boring

I enjoyed it solo.

[Andrew, Killer Bee]

Yeah, me too.

It's more enjoyable if you didn't just spam magic attacks and kill everything before they get a chance to move. I also find SoM surprisingly fun to play when you're over leveled so you can block every single physical attack from a boss because the blocking animations actually look pretty cool.

I'm with Zeus on this one, the game is somewhat annoying and boring to play solo. The game is a lot of fun on multiplayer though... I find this true with any game I have played in the series (minus Seiken Densetsu 1, which I just plain loved).

My interest is with the Soul Blazer games though, I REEEALLY hope that Soul Blazer comes out by Christmas.

I'll buy Terranigma and Mana 2 if they come here

It was released:

Secret of Mana (Super NES, 1-3 players, Rated E10+ for Everyone 10 and Older -- Mild Fantasy Violence, Mild Suggestive Themes, 800 Wii Points): Good and evil battle for a young warrior's heart. There is one force in the universe that keeps good and evil in perfect balance. It is called the tree of Mana. But a magic sword has tricked a young warrior into upsetting this balance, spreading evil throughout the land. Thus, the warrior must undertake a dangerous journey to find the seeds of the Mana tree, which have been hidden for centuries. Only then can perfect harmony be restored. In this incredible adventure, things are not as they seem. Magic swords release evil as well as fight it. Treasure chests hold booby traps. Monsters are friends and friends are enemies. Potions give power, black magic takes it away. Dragons fly, weapons change. It's a world turned upside down that you must help the warrior make right. And the only way to succeed is to solve the Secret of Mana.

Street Fighter II: Special Champion Edition (Sega Genesis, 1-2 players, Rated T for Teen -- Violence, 800 Wii Points): Street Fighter II: Special Champion Edition was the first Street Fighter game released for the Sega Genesis console.
