Recently at PAX West this weekend Square showed off a bit of gameplay of their remake of Secret of Mana. The video features Francis Santos (Product Marketing Manager for Square) talking about the game along with Kelly Lake and Anna Prosser.
They touch on some good points about things like multiplayer coop. One of the neat little touches that they bring up is about the mini-map that’s actually a 16-bit version of the original game map. It’s the little touches that count 😀
There’s a lot of talking from the hosts in the video, but you can make out some of the English voice acting. Anyone who knows me, I prefer Japanese voice acting if I have the choice, and this doesn’t seem like too much of an exception for me. However, it could always be worse.
Sadly, nothing was said about a western release for the amazing special edition that’s getting a release over here in Japan. I’ve got mine pre-ordered, and I don’t usually splurge on these kinds of things. I definitely couldn’t pass that pop-up book up!
