I was cruising through Wikipedia the other day and reading the Secret of Mana page when I came across the SNES Disc Drive section:
Now, I know everything in the Wikipedia should be taken with a grain of salt, but if this is true, I was thinking how cool it would be to play this game in its intended original form. With Square-Enix trying to find ways to add content to existing games for their remakes, this one seems to be a dead ringer for a remake, especially since so many people regard it so highly. Perhaps they lost the source code for the original version, who knows.Secret of Mana was originally going to be a launch title for the SNES CD add-on. After the project was dropped, the game had to be altered to fit onto a standard game cartridge. The game received a graphical downgrade and as much as 40% of the original content was removed.
Wouldn't this be the perfect candidate for a remake?
