Squaresoft's classic SNES Action RPG 'Secret of Mana' has finally hit the European Wii Virtual Console retro download service and Cubed3.com's Adam Riley takes a closer look at the game deemed by many as one of the best RPGs in history to see why it is indeed the perfect Christmas treat.

Early in the lifetime of the Super Nintendo, Squaresoft (now Square Enix), who had as close a tie with Nintendo back then as Nintendo and Rare once had, were busy working exclusively on yet another game - this time an innovative three-player Action-RPG by the name of Seiken Densetsu 2 or Secret of Mana to you and I. Well over a decade later the game is back in Europe, this time in Virtual Console format for a fraction of the original price.

    WHAATTTTT? I effing love this game...Why no NA release though?

    To be honest, I would prefer a release of Seiken Densetsu 3 because it never made it to North American shores.

      IT CAME OUT IN AMERICA TWO MONTHS AGO!!!

      This is another reason I don't like most NA gamers. They have total ignorance for all other regions.

        You are not even making any sense. "Total ignorance for all other regions" would suggest that I knew of an american release but no others. GG, idiot. If you're going to bitch about people then at least have some logical reason for it. Sorry I don't pay attention to the VC releases week by week because my Wii collects dust in the entertainment center.

          No, your not making sence. It seems you didn't even bother checking to see if there was a NA release or not.

          Sorry, most PAL gamers have been pleading for this release ever since it came out in America, and for an American to whine about no NA release, it makes me mad.

    Big A2, sorry I really don't put Sonic 2 MS in the same league as Secret of Mana!

    And Fatal Error, I believe Secret of Mana is already on the US service. Really hope that Square Enix gets round to remaking Seiken Densetsu 3 as I've played the fan translation and it's such a fun game.

      Neither do I, but you could've at least made mention of it.
