On which note, it’s hard to know exactly who this remake is for. Those who loved the original and are ready for a nostalgia trip are particularly poorly served by a game that loses much of the SNES game’s offbeat charm and has nothing to replace it with. And anyone who didn’t play it beforehand will wonder what the fuss was all about. About the best I can say for the new Secret of Mana is that it makes the old one, for all its faults, look like a masterpiece by comparison. I suspect that’s not quite the result Square Enix was going for.
This new remake marks the third time I’ve revisited Secret of Mana in the past year: First with the Japanese release of Seiken Densetsu Collection for Switch, and then again with the 16-bit game’s inclusion on Nintendo’s Super NES Classic Edition mini-console. The first two experiences reminded me what extraordinary alchemy Squaresoft achieved with Secret of Mana.
While I appreciate their attempt to "modernize" the experience, this one doesn't seem so much as a love letter to the fans as much as an attempt to fix what wasn't broken. It won’t do anything to hurt a person’s enjoyment of the original, especially my own, but it’s altogether a lackluster effort for something that could have been so much more. In the end, you may be better off investing in the SNES Classic and trying it out that way instead.
