Seiken Densetsu 2, known as Secret of Mana in the West, was originally made for the defunct Super Famicom CD-Rom attachment that was being co-developed by Nintendo and Sony. Once Nintendo scratched the project and set in motion their greatest rival in the next gen, Square scrambled to salvage the game and find a way to fit it on a cartridge at the cost of several story elements and gameplay features being scrapped. For many Western fans, this was the first Mana game since the actual first game went under the Final Fantasy moniker at the time. Featuring three player co-op, this was the second Action-RPG developed by Square for the 16-bit platform and easily their most well known.
If sales continue to be strong for the remakes, the producer and SE promise to remake the other entries as well, including Seiken Densetsu 3, which is often regarded as the best entry and was denied localization in the West.

Wow! Had not been following or expecting news like this at all.
Between FFVII and now this, it's like my childhood is being reborn.
So long as the music remains the same, I'm all the way in.
Take care all.

SoM is one of my favorite games. I hope they keep the co-op of the original.

I looked into this and from what I could see, unless you're playing on the Vita it's going to be online and not local which sucks. If someone knows any better than me on that please do let me know!

Well I hope the figure out the local co-op. Being able to jump in and out of it on the fly in the original was one of the best parts about this game. I also want to play this with my kids!
I'd actually settle on just releasing the original with the co-op on PSN. :D
