Let's Help Get Seiken Densetsu 3(Secret of Mana 2) Localized/Official Release

[Ian Lutz]

Hey I have been subscribed to this guy on Youtube for a while and his latest video is something I think people may be interested in. It is a review of Seiken Densetsu 3, which in most English speaking countries is called Secret of Mana 2 (or that's what it would be called had it ever gotten an official release)

Here's the link to the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgAUkFVW8fg&feature=plcp&context=C409bdfdVDvjVQa1PpcFMdkNMR-WAyvQj-l671swJx-HxLyvmfGR8%3D

"So it is a neat review, why should I care?" Well, in the spirit of consumer/fan movements like Operation Rainfall and 100,000 strong for Mega man Legends 3 the filmmaker here has started Operation Manafall, which is a full-blown movement to convince square enix to localize Seiken Densetsu 3!

*Note: Yes, I know there is a Fan Translation out there. The guy even mentions it in his video, but that still doesn't mean people can't ask for an official release. Just wanted to say that before I get any more post about it.

An official release is always nice and it might result in a larger fan-base for the game. Also, some people enjoy playing a game legitimately and not having to deal with the legal/moral gray area of roms and emulators.

its already been fan translated

I think this is a really cool idea!! Secret of Mana 2 is awesome on an emulator but it has a lot of bugs, and it's hard to play with other people. I would love to see a re-release like they did for Chrono Trigger for the DS, and maybe have multiplayer.

also maybe if it sold well maybe they would start making Mana games again. I heard they aren't gonna make anymore cause the last ones didnt sell well, but they also were like very different games from Secret of Mana so they should have known better.

I support this!

Speaking of Chrono Trigger DS, a handheld release for Seiken Densetsu 3 seems like a perfect idea. I find that many of the RPGs I play are ones that I own on handhelds, especially ones that have a sort of retro feel. Although, a release for the current home consoles could open up some room for greater game enhancements (graphics, sound, online support, ect.)

Handhelds are good for a multiplayer game because people can take the game with them and play with others when they get bored. Like if you're on a road trip in the back of a car.

Home releases are cool too though. I like the feel of a controller in my hands.

There are definitely pros and cons to a release on either platform. Actually there is a whole poll on the Operation Manafall facebook page to see which platform fans want to see a release on the most. Currently the winner is the wii virtual console, but I would only recommend that to square enix if their goal was to do a straight port (with a translation of course!)

Wii would be okay I guess but 3DS would be even better!!

Totally, excluding downloadable games (since I haven't checked those in a while) there are only a handful of RPGs currently on the platform and while Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor Overclocked and Tales of the Abyss are really good games there is still plenty of room for a RPG to thrive on the platform.

but I've already played through it 3 time (Riesz FTW btw)
now if you were to say 3DS remake, I'll back that up like the fist of an angry god punishing sinners

I've said a million times before I'll say it again this game needs a 3DS remake, imagine same gameplay with extra dungeons, items, characters, quest, etc. with graphic system similar to Super Mario Land 3DS or Kid Icarus with an overhead camera like the one they used in Dragon Quest IX or The Legend of Zelda The Spirit Tracks

I like Seiken Densetsu 3 and I want to see a NA release on whatever handheld Square Enix chooses (this gamer does not have time for console war bullshit).

However why stop with just one game? I want to see a North American version of Terranigma, which is my all time favorite Snes game. How about Bahamut Lagoon, live a live, most Wizardy games released after 2001?

Huh someone shared one of his videos here and there's no mass objection odd. That was exactly why I didn't share it myself. Still I support him on this and already liked the fanpage. Also I would love for them to continue the games since they were absolutely amazing. I own Sword of Mana on the GBA and absolutely love it and I'm thinking of getting Legend of Mana soon. Honestly Square Enix is sitting on so many great IPs it's absurd. With some marketing they could have way more major franchises than just Final Fantasy.

 

[Lunar Templar]

i can get behind this.

its retarded they've done nothing at all with this, or any of the Mana games really

Riesz FTW

pfff!! Angela!

Well there is a poll on the Operation Manafall FB page that has 3ds on it. 5 votes so far! Virtual console seems to be winning right now though

 

[TitanAtlas]

Acctually it would bbe kind of cool, with hd sounds and so on, and some kind of multiplayer component.

I love and loved this game, so i wouldn't mind, heck i would be super interested in a re-release

 

[80Maxwell08]

Fuck Secret of Mana 2, Where the fuck is my Miles Edgeworth Investigations 2?

Go talk to Capcom this is talking to Square Enix.

 

[Twilight_guy]

Nah, I'm not going to help. Not because of any opinion I have over the game but more because I believe in moving up and on and striving towards the next thing and I think this is more of a regression, moving backwards and trying to recapture the old rather then advancing. Maybe its just my modernist view.
