As for their remasters, Square Enix did not give them much physical love on Switch. Final Fantasy VII / VIII was an exception, but SaGA Frontier and Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles’ is currently digital only. Unless you plan to introduce this new collector’s edition, Legend of Mana seems to be going the same way.
Announced last week in the Nintendo Direct presentation, Legend of Mana was first released on PS1 in 1999, which is the fourth main entry after Trials of Mana. Remastered as part of Mana’s thirtieth anniversary celebrations, Square Enix has also confirmed a collectible release exclusive to Japan.
Including the game, art book, Li’l Catcus soft and an official soundtrack, it costs 14,300 yen. Currently, it is also the only way to physically acquire Legend of Mana. Within this list, Square Enix states that ‘does not intend to sell this game package separately’. This version is also not confirmed for a Western release. Boe.
Launched on June 24, we are hopeful that Square Enix will make it more available. It’s a shame they do not, but otherwise JRPG fans have enough to look forward to.
