Secret of Mana Remake

Secret of Mana is getting a remake in 2018, the release date will be February 18th, 2018.

It will be in full 3D, as opposed to the original graphics.

Kazenji Onyx Prime

The voice acting could be better, But apart from that it looks okay.

Looks like shit. I'm all for a remake, but actually put effort into it and make the game look better than it did nearly 25 years ago...

Kazenji Onyx Prime

To be fair it also looks like alot of the other Square's mobile phone ports too.

Secret of Mana was fantastic, so they aren't gonna top it.

I wish they had kept it 2d, it would have been nice.

So I just got an email saying that its available?

Maybe they meant available for pre-order... Idk.

BackFire Blood. It's nature's lube

No, it's out. Came out earlier this week.

Been reading its a garbage remake from some of the reviews.

Impediment Endless

It’s not very good, I have to admit.

The SNES version is absolutely timeless, but this “HD remaster” just doesn’t have the magic of the original.

Wasn't that version completely in 2D? I assumed this was the first ever 3D version of SoM..

So, now that it's been out for like... 2, going on 3 years, thoughts?

Really common, unfortunately. Everything from classic Final Fantasies to Chrono Trigger has been worse than the originals.

This wouldn't happen if the devs knew what they were doing. But I don't think they do.. I think they're simply the cheapest available labor a company can buy, skills be damned.

I mean, kid fan groups do better work than this. One group made a 3d Chrono Trigger remake that looked a million times better than this 3d Secret of Mana (Of course is was killed).

Every version of FF1 has been better then the original.
