Square-Enix says The Secret of Mana remake could come to Switch, Seiken Densetsu Collection might get localized

GN Version 5.0

When the Secret of Mana remake was announced, a lot of people thought it would come to Switch. When that wasn't the case, fans were pretty upset to see Switch being left out. Turns out Square-Enix wasn't expecting the response from Switch owners, so now they're considering releasing the game on Switch. This was discussed during a USGamer interview with producer Masaru Oyamada.

"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."

That's not all, though. Over in Japan, the Seiken Densetsu Collection was release on Switch, but it never got localized. With the Switch's runaway success, Square-Enix is at least open to the idea of localization.

"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."

Thanks to Sligeach_eire for the heads up!
