Square Enix is remaking Secret of Mana. The beloved role-playing game will be released in North America on February 15, 2018.
In August 1993, the game was originally released as Seiken Densetsu 2 in Japan on the Super Famicom (SNES), but sold outside Japan as Secret of Mana.
Earlier this summer, a Mana collection with Final Fantasy Adventure, Secret of Mana, and Seiken Densetsu 3 was released in Japan for the Nintendo Switch. Now the second game in the series is headed to current PlayStation hardware and Steam.
According to Famitsu, this is a full remake with full voice (though Square Enix’s English language press release simply states that the game will have voice-overs), new musical arrangements and other new elements like upgraded gameplay. It will also have local multiplayer on all platforms.
The game is also getting the inevitable limited edition bundle in Japan. No word yet if the North American release will.

Damn, I heard about this but thought it was just another port. A remake is dope. They are taxing for it though. I think it will be $40. SoM is one of my all-time favorite games though. I might have to spend that money if it comes to the U.S.

Mannnnnnn....this NEED to happen.. it's one of those games that is still good as it is, but with today's technology a seamless reinterpretation would be even better. -
Dope. Remake Legend of Mana too while you're at it.

And SD3 as well. I'm betting a lot of people didn't even get to play that one. -

Good point. I myself never played it and I had a few Super Famicom games growing up. I just could never find it at any importer in NYC. -
Yeah, it was never officially made for NA. I played the translated ROM of it back in the day on the zSNES emulator. You could make the argument that its just as good as SoM.The Lonious Monk wrote: » -
They are actually going to update the fighting system for that. Honestly, SoM with improved graphics and a less tedious fighting system will probably be better than the majority of games this generation, even if it isn't getting the FF7R treatment.

Legend of Mana don't need to be touched imo

No online multiplayer? Only local?

A graphical update wouldn't hurt it. Other than that, it could stay mostly unchanged.
