'Secret of Mana' Remake Also Headed to the Nintendo Switch?
The remake of the classic action role-playing game "Secret of Mana" might make its way to the Nintendo Switch as well.
Set to celebrate its silver anniversary this August, the game was originally released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System or SNES back in 1993.
As Square Enix did its best to bring it to new generations of players, "Secret of Mana" received more iterations since its initial release, including an enhanced port for the iOS and Android.
The game is currently set to hit the PlayStation 4 (PS4), PS Vita and PC next month, but it looks like a version for the Nintendo Switch is not too far.
The plan to bring the game to the latest Nintendo console was hinted at by producer Masaru Oyamada in an interview with US Gamer:
To kind of give background in terms of when the project started, it was about two years ago, and the Switch hadn't been announced. Once we had announced this particular remake title, we were very surprised to see the amount of demand and feedback we received for a potential Switch version.
So, the voices are heard, we're aware that people are desiring a Switch version, and we will make an effort to see what is feasible in the future, though nothing is confirmed or planned.
Apart from the "Secret of Mana" remake for the Nintendo Switch, Oyamada also noted that they have heard the demand of fans to localize the "Seiken Densetsu Collection" for the west.
Obviously, our focus is on "Secret of Mana" since we're in the last part of its development, so obviously it's hard to definitely say that yes, we will release it. But we've obviously heard a lot of demands and requests for that game to be released in the west, and that's something we will do our best to hopefully achieve, but nothing at this moment in time.
While nothing is confirmed yet, users can look out for the release of the "Secret of Mana" remake on the PS4, PS Vita and PC on Feb. 15.
