They have already made a 2d remake

Besides 3d gives this game a different look might be kinda interesting to try out.

Maybe upon release you can choose both 3d and 2D grapics.

When did they remake Secret of Mana?

I think the mobile phone version is what they're talking about?



Was that also on Steam?

Not that I know of. The new one is coming to Steam though supposedly.
Currently Playing

Dang, that looks nice.

I'd classify it as an enhanced port.

I knew the new one was but wasn't sure about that mobile phone one.  I like the colors of that mobile one though. 
There was a GBA 2D remake of Final Fantasy Adventure (Sword of Mana). I'm not sure which one made it into the Japan only Mana Collection.

The one for the Switch? That's the OG Game Boy version.

I share everybody's excitement everytime a classic is remade or re-released!
And, contrarily to the majority of comments that I see around the internet, I usually don't care much about a game's graphics.
But I have a sincere question: Is there a reason for the game to be released with this early PS2 era visuals?
I mean, is it a remake coming straight from the SNES version or is it the PS4 relaunch of some PS2 or PSP re-release?

I asked this because, if they a releasing it on a current-gen platform with this kind of graphics, even though I'm not a Secret Mana fan, I would prefer playing it on its original form which, I believe, is much more beautiful considering the technical limitations of that period.

To each their own, but I really like the look of the remake. It reminds me of PS1 & PS2-era Square games as well, but in a good way - it has the visual charm of games like Threads of Fate or Radiata Stories, only with a lot more detail & clarity.

I'm very excited for this one because I loved Secret of Mana back in the day. I never owned it, but I rented it enough times to where I probably could have just bought it. :P  Never finished it tho, if memory serves. 
"When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed
if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I
became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the
desire to be very grown up.” ― C.S. Lewis
