Japanese VC releases next month: Square Enix shares a Secret - Nintendo Wii Fanboy (http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/08/29/japanese-vc-releases-next-month-square-enix-lets-a-secret-out/)

So don't count out the possibility of North America getting it eventually.

Doesn't really surprise me. I think this is the only way SE stands a chance of making money off a Mana game now days.

Yeah. They've come right out and said they won't release any game for VC they think they could still profit from porting or remaking. So, while this is good news, it's also an acknowledgement that the franchise is essentially dead.

Of course, they should know; they're the ones who beat it to death.

I'm glad.

I'm sad.

Glad because it will bring new fans (I don't need it. Still have my snes and cartridge) but sad because I was holding out on Iishi's promise he'd consider doing a remake... Grrr! I was REALLY looking forward to a remake and hoping they'd put in all the extra stuff they had to cut out due to space limitations after the development of the CD-ROM fell through. :(

Omg, this is the best thing I've ever read.
While reading the first paragraph I was full of "Yeah.. damn he's right. That is pretty sad".
Then I read the next line and got the biggest giggle ever because it's so true but in a funny sad way.

Yes.

I actually love the virtual console. Even if they will never remake these games it's a great way for casual gamers to play them without having to faff about with emulation and hunt down roms, or waste their money buying ancient consoles. And it's simply the real originals as well so if you're a bit manic like me and want to play the original original game you don't have to waste time figuring out release dates and wapanese names and crap on wikipedia.

Does the virtual console have the ability for online multi-player support for the three characters?

Probably not. :P But I'm sure local multiplayer is intact.
