Square Enix previously announced the Secret of Mana remake for Steam and PlayStation, but notably not Nintendo Switch. This may change though, going by a new interview.
Producer Masaru Oyamada, spoke to USgamer and discussed the Secret of Mana remake. He noted that while development began before Switch was announced, Square Enix was “very surprised to see the amount of demand and feedback we received for a potential Switch version.”
“To kind of give background in terms of when the project started, it was about two years ago, and the Switch hadn’t been announced. Once we had announced this particular remake title, we were very surprised to see the amount of demand and feedback we received for a potential Switch version.”
“So, the voices are heard, we’re aware that people are desiring a Switch version, and we will make an effort to see what is feasible in the future, though nothing is confirmed or planned.”
Another interesting point was his comments on the Seiken Densetsu Collection released last year as a Japan exclusive.
“Obviously, our focus is on Secret of Mana since we’re in the last part of its development, so obviously it’s hard to definitely say that yes, we will release it. But we’ve obviously heard a lot of demands and requests for that game to be released in the west, and that’s something we will do our best to hopefully achieve, but nothing at this moment in time.”
Would you buy the remake on Switch? The collection?
