Sword of Mana overview

Sword of Mana synopsis

The Mana Tree is in danger once again, or perhaps for the first time - Sword of Mana is a remake of the original Seiken Densetsu (1991), known as Final Fantasy Adventure in North America. Developed by Brownie Brown, the second of Square Enix' GBA titles looks and plays a lot like Secret of Mana, but without the edge that game had back in 1993.

New Mana title in the works
A job opening on the Square Enix website requesting, amongst others, an Art Director and Character Model Designer to work on a new Seiken Densetsu project alludes to an upcoming announcement of a new game in the Mana series, presumably for a platform that supports 3d (why else would you need a model designer). Here's some production artwork shown to give applying artists an idea of what they're looking for. Square Enix

Sword of Mana to get Deluxe Pack with cute battery-powered Li'l Cactus and other useless stuff
Out of nowhere, some random Japanese company "Meikyosha" announced the Shinyaku Seiken Densetsu Deluxe Pack, which will be released alongside Sword of Mana and contain a battery-powered figure of Li'l Cactus which can, get this, rock back and forth. It also comes with a sock puppet Rabite and a calendar. For those of you insane enough to waste money on importing this, it'll come at ?7800 (?57/US$66). Gamefront

Featured Staff Review

The spruced up Sword of Mana remains less of a successful title on its own than a reflection of the brilliance achieved in its sequels: the excellent Secret of Mana and the astounding Seiken Densetsu 3.
