D[dropcap][/dropcap]o you remember playing the highly popular Secret of Mana game from the successful Mana series?
Do you wish you could play it again, or get the opportunity to play such a highly regarded game?
Well you’re in luck!
Square Enix, (the masterminds behind the Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy series’), have nearly completed their 3D remake of the game. The game’s official release date is Feb 15th 2018. However, pre-purchasing the game gets you exclusive DLC suits for your characters (Moogle Suit for Randi, Primm and Popoi, Tiger Two-Piece for Primm, and Tiger Suit for Randi and Popoi) as well as a custom downloadable wallpaper.
If you live under a rock (like a certain pink starfish) and have never heard of Secret of Mana, allow me to enlighten you. The game is a story-rich anime JRPG game that was created by Square for SNES back in 1993. By far the most successful game in the Mana series, Secret of Mana has been highly praised for it’s satiating storyline, superb soundtrack, and gorgeous graphics. It’s therefore unsurprising that the game is available for iOS, and is coming to Steam, PS4, and bizarrely, PS Vita.
Fans of the game will be pleased to hear that the story-line and characters in the remake are true to the original. However, Square Enix have switched things up and introduced new additions and perks such as:
- 3D Graphics
- Modern controls
- Modern action RPG
- A custom downloadable wallpaper
- Armour DLC
- Newly arranged musical score
- Voiced characters
- Co-op multiplayer
- Interlude episodes
- Game log
- Achievements
Additionally, avid art fans may be interested in the amazing artwork (created by HACCAN-san) that is showcased on the game’s Steam page.
This refreshing rendition of a timeless cult classic can be pre-purchased here for a reasonable price of $39.99
Nostalgia awaits you..

Even with the recent release of Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon last week, fans are heavily focused on the Pokémon RPG that is in development for the Nintendo Switch which was announced at E3 last year.
Redit User DasVergeben who leaked the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Enchantress being DLC in Injustice 2 is now revealing new information about Nintendo.
The Redit post lists exciting information about a new Animal Crossing game to be released next year, A Switch Virtual Console subscription service, The World Ends With You 2 as a Switch exclusive, and Blizzard porting Hearthstone for the Switch which has been talked about for awhile now.
Additionally the post includes information about the upcoming Pokémon RPG and that the code name “Pokémon Stars” was in fact real but simply a working title for a tech demo of Pokémon Sun & Moon for the Switch.
Its been discussed that Game Freak has taken inspiration from the reception of Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Mario Odyssey that they too would like to break the mold from their original formula and create something innovative.
