Collection of Mana - Nintendo Switch Trailer - Nintendo E3 2019

[@Boskibro]

Nintendo bout to be collecting my money after this awesome direct.

[@TexasWench]

@Tangy Oranges Worth it for SoM alone, but the second game as well?

[@alessiocece2098]

yes!!! ;)

[@Irraptured]

Just picked it up for $20, hyped af

[@itadapeeza8559]

@Tangy Oranges these are huge rpgs that will take 10-30 hours. Plus trials of mana is basically new to us westerners and its one of the best games ever imo

[@JackEGee-il9mz]

Today: Collection of Mana Next time: Collection of Mother...? If only...

[@protoluigi2047]

Well good luck with that!! If the NPCs don't give Nintendo a hard time!!!

[@Jagoryu]

First off, two different company and secondly, "Collection of Mother" just sounds..... wrong... Especially if you don't know about the Mother/Earthbound games. ^^;

[@argonauts56au1kera6]

I feel like that game collection should be named Mother collection instead of Collection of Mother.

[@SaviorGabriel]

Now there's another Japan exclusive game with the number 3 in its title that could use some localization. Here's hoping.

[@retrobution1262]

oh, yes please!

[@Nacromantine]

This was an instant buy for me. Thank you so much for releasing this!

[@EddieAesir]

Secret of mana 3 is a masterpiece! Totally worth it.

[@FYCY]

And it's getting a remake!

[@TheIllustriouBlueJay]

*Secret of Mana 2. The first game was released as Final Fantasy Adventure.

[@razorblade9907]

luís eduardo pereira I've never played any of those three games and know next to nothing about them, only that they are classics of the genre and are beloved by many. Would you recommend this collection (the physical version) to me/ someone that has never played them, or did they not age that well ? I'd be really curious for your reply :)

[@EddieAesir]

@@razorblade9907 hello, I recommend yes, but I do not know how faithful these games will be to the originals. the first was released for the original gameboy the monochrome. I do not know if it will have a color filter, the original did not have what I know. But it is a play, the story is simple and very direct, but the gameplay is varied and does not get bored. Maybe it's the hardest to recommend for all three. The second is a classic of snes, maybe the difficulty is a problem, the balance of the game is very disloyal in some parts, but the fact of being able to play in multiplay with up to three players is sensational, it is worth it that the remaster available in the Steam. The third is the best of the three fired, it was released for the snes only in Japan, but you find hacks in his English on the internet, it is the first time it will be launched in the West. For me it's the third best snes RPG just from Final Fantasy 6 and Chrono Trigger, and by very close to be honest. You have 6 characters, you can choose three, which gives a variety and causes an immense replay effect, except that the characters have evolutions inside the game. The graphics and sound are perfect and the combat has hit here the perfect balance between difficulty and fun. Anyway I highly recommend it.

[@EddieAesir]

@@TheIllustriouBlueJay Seiken Desetsu 3, whatever... Is a masterpiece anyway...XJ

[@thiagodossantos5741]

I can't believe Seiken Densetsu 3 its finally in the west. So beautiful graphics in 90's and good plot. Legend of Mana would be welcome on Nintendo Switch too

[@wogardrodriguez9699]

This is like Christmas. Only with most of the gifts not coming till later. Still, Mana collection!

[@matthatter56]

Though I have to admit I died a little on the inside for the fact Secret Of Evermore isn't on this collection. And for the fact if you want physical you have to wait till the end of August.

[@Oh-Ben]

@@matthatter56 Evermore isnt part of this or related at all.

[@matthatter56]

@@Oh-Ben And honestly I knew at the time of writing that comment that I should have put in the comment that I knew why it wasn't. Having said that it doesn't change the fact I do wish it was in there. Even if it was an unlock after beating all the other games it would be cool. Again I know why it isn't and I completely understand that. Also it doesn't change the fact that I am going to get this collection (physical edition) when it comes out.

[@Gharon]

This will be the 3rd time i've purchased Final Fantasy Adventure, the 5th time i've purchased Secret of Mana... and FINALLY the first time i officially own Seiken Densetsu 3. Such a shame it took this long to come out here in the west, it's easily one of the best action-RPGs ever made. For all the nostalgia i have for Secret of Mana it truly pales in comparison.

[@HeavyYeti]

Of all the Square/Enix games of the era I wanted here, this was one of two. Please please finally give us Terranigma!

[@theoptionaut.tailer7501]

Already pre-ordered the physical copy! Secret of Mana 2 _alone_ is worth the $40 price tag!

[@SorcererDiZ]

Now we just need Legend of Mana and we're good XD

[@beansmckenzie9162]

That's my favorite for real

[@luuthienan2703]

True. Would be better if there is a remake

[@wogardrodriguez9699]

Ohhhhhhhh finally its real

[@erwinekkel9676]

Now all we need is a good sequel

[@NickScott86]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm so happy to play Seiken Densetsu 3 in English officially after all these years. The remake of Trials of Mana also looks very promising.

[@sammoretti5625]

Everybody: “Give is Mother 3!” Nintendo: *gives them Seiken Dentsetsu 3 I actually can’t wait for the Collection of Mana

[@ArchGeek]

Between this, Trials Of Mana, and the DQ Hero in Smash...best E3 ever!

[@kitestar]

This truly is the good future we have been looking for all this time, the universe can finally be at peace for all time

[@mikeprado30]

More than 20 years of waiting came into an end after this E3 😊

[@IzThatit]

When is Legend of Mana going to get some love? I feel like that was is extremely underrated.

[@Blaisem]

My favorite mana game by a good margin.

[@amedprado8170]

RIGHT! wtf... that's like the best one imo

[@wogardrodriguez9699]

Its coming this year

[@LunaPrincessNinjato]

I love FFA/Sword of Mana and always wanted to play/beat Mana 1 and OMG MANA 3....YES!

[@retrobution1262]

Square-Enix this is a dream come true, I've waited for this since I beat the original Secret of Mana way back in the mid 90's. You have finally done it, and we couldn't be happier, thank you!

[@foxyman9449]

I sure love Trail mix of Mana with my Seiken Densetsu 3.

[@lfestevao]

And in a new name: Trials of Mana It's the confusion of names all over again

[@SaviorGabriel]

Man, we waited 25 years for Seiken Densetsu 3, or should I say "Trails of Mana". We get the remake, AND the original announced all in one day. I wanted this so bad, and to see it come to fruition. Brings a tear to a glass eye.

[@EnchantedSmellyWolf]

To fully enjoy the original audio sound simply got to your Nintendo Switch sound settings and set it to Mono and enjoy playing on ypur tv. You're welcome. 😃

[@theMagos]

Holy... SD3 officially released in the west?

[@SkitBitProduction]

Magos X 👍

[@franman781]

@Smash 456 i think i'm on repeat number 6. I nearly passed out after number 5, when i booted up the game after purchasing it (number 4)

[@GetterRay]

I think Trials of Mana is the best SNES game that Squaresoft ever made. I unironically think it is better than Final Fantasy 6 by miles, better than Chrono Trigger, better than pretty much any other JRPG on the console except maybe Tales of Phantasia. I'm glad this game is finally getting an official translation and people can see why the game had such a good reputation as a cult classic. And now, when people ask me what's my favorite SNES game I never have to say Seiken Densetsu 3 out loud again.

[@johnthebopper]

I never knew I always wanted this.

[@DesertRainReads]

Going to be pre-ordering the physical version of this tomorrow. I am pumped, been waiting for this for a long time. Thank you Square-Enix, to this day you remain one of my favorite publishers.

[@Alboreoh]

I'm so excited for this. I hope they do Legend of Mana, Sword of Mana, and Children of Mana next! Dawn of Mana would be sweet, too. It's the only Mana game I've not played so far. Heroes of Mana might be a bit difficult given it was a DS game. Also if anyone reads this, Legend of Mana is my favorite. I hope there are others out there, but I know it isn't the most popular.

[@Oh-Ben]

Im willing to bet they'll do a FF8/9 Remaster of it. A remake would be great, but if they somehow still have the assists still around I would love to see them backgrounds in HD.

[@ShawReck]

I played the first game in this series as a small child, could NEVER remember what it was. Soo good.

[@EnchantedSmellyWolf]

All I can say is Thank You! I am filled with tears and joy.

[@VeenanNorvius]

seiken densetsu finally gets an english release

[@VeenanNorvius]

lets just hope trials of mana is a much better remaster than secret of mana

[@blizzard2586]

Great, now localize Mother 1-3 please and sell them as a collection!

[@GottaBeFrank]

[@navi_6621]

Final Fantasy Adventure was the first video game I ever played. I was 6 😄

[@SusuperHands]

ahhh man, really wish Legend of Mana was in this too! Trials is dope tho.

[@mikeprado30]

Well, it will be coming! 😃 Now we hope we'll be getting also Dawn of Mana.

[@Andyliini]

This collection made a Mana fan, so I'm looking forward to playing Legend of Mana this summer. Dawn I would also be interested in. Sword of Mana too might be interesting.

[@twinatoms]

seiken densetsu 3 was an amazing game I never got to play translated. I bought an emulator for Japanese cartridges on the SNES and found it on ebay in the late 90's to play with friends. Paper route money makes dreams come true. We printed out a shabby text of a translation, mostly to help us figure out what to do. The characters and art were top-notch.

[@davidhill8565]

In terms of story progression, Final Fantasy Adventure is about 4 hours long. Secret of Mana is about 10 hours long. Trials of Mana is about 12 hours long.

[@Itsfayd]

if you know the game 😩 i never beat them and rarely use KZbin to progress so I be stuck at times for days lmfao

[@HeatleyBros]

Secret of Mana was too good😭👍

[@charleslavalliere]

Yes, finally the original Secret of Mana is back. Thanks Square Enix. Just need next a collection with Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross and I'll be the happiest man. 😁

[@GiordanDiodato]

or how about the Gaia trilogy? (Soul Blazer, Illusion of Gaia, Terranigma)

[@1.restnrelax.1]

All three of these are great games I never played as a kid. FFA is like a proto Link's Awakening. Secret of Mana could almost be mistaken for a GBA game. And Trials of Mana has great replay value. And they have that Edenic fantasy and adventure aesthetic making them really fun and beautiful. I was also pleasantly surprised noticing some sound effects and animations in Trials of Mana I remembered from Super Mario RPG. I'm pretty sure one of the enemies even has Mario's boing and Lucent Beam is Geno Blast. It was like finding a lost relative to one of my favorite games. Since Nintendo and Square are friends again, it would be really nice if we could finally get a physical, portable version of Super Mario RPG on the Switch, or at the very least a port on the eshop. I literally still have my SNES hooked up to my TV just for Mario RPG.

[@EnchantedSmellyWolf]

Sold! Just bought it!

[@amberh7171]

I've never played any of these games, excited to try it out!

[@Oh-Ben]

Secret of Mana and to a larger degree FF Legends has aged quite a bit but still are good. Trials of Mana is contender in the top JRPGS. It just never hit western shores so people never got to play it as easily.

[@amberh7171]

Oh, that's probably why I've never tried them. I hope it’s as good as people say

[@Kubush1]

It has been a long wait :)

[@Paleiko0630]

For its time it worked but yes, they could of updated it and just kept the crit line and everything would of been fine.

[@Schwarzorn]

I REALLY hope it got a new translation. The original is just a mess from what I’ve seen. And SquareEnix seems to like retranslating their games for each release, so there’s a chance they did for this game as well. They could use the one from the remake maybe!

[@JAHMZ528]

After replying to a comment about it I have to ask...How does everyone feel about the $40 price point? Does anybody think it’s overpriced? Or do you think it’s fair? I’m leaning a bit towards the former, given the fact that it’s only 3 games. One is a GB game that I don’t know much about, another I already own on the snes classic, and the last one is literally getting a remake next year.

[@juniorduperval5732]

Its overpriced but that's SE motto. Overprice games cuz they know suckers will buy it. Konami does a castlevania and contra collection which is only 20$ each.

[@JAHMZ528]

[@OffiGameWave]

you get 3 games so the price is really good

[@Mousse9]

I have played all 3. The original one in Japanese on the original Gameboy (LOL, somehow made it work, I can't read Japanese). Dunno how well it holds up nowadays, since this IS an OG Gameboy game we're talking about here. Secret of Mana, I played the absolute crap out of, and one of my favorite SNES RPG's of all time (and with the SNES Mini, I legally own it). Seiken Densetsu 3, I only played the fan translations, but finished the game easily over a dozen times. Octopath Traveler (you might have heard of it!) also has this system where you have multiple characters and branching storylines. I don't know whether both Secret of Mana and Seiken Densetsu 3 are worth $40, since they're VERY old, 16 bit SNES era games. If you've never played them before though, and you like the genre, it could be worth it. As for me, I'm gonna wait for the remake of Seiken Densetsu 3. That one looks utterly amazing.
