“For those who have wanted to experience Seiken Densetsu 3 since 1995, you have very few options. You could have pushed through the original Japanese release with some form of a translator, loading up a translated rom by a fan, or eventually played the title through last year’s Collection of Mana on the Switch, a port that finally happened some 25 years later. And yet, a year later, we have a remake in Trials of Mana that debuted last month on the Switch, one of two classic 90’s remakes to see a release. While Final Fantasy VII was remade to adopt a more modern sense of gameplay and storytelling, Trials of Mana feels dated right out of the gate. Now, don’t get me wrong, the game can certainly be entertaining, but it also doesn’t help that Dragon Quest XI copied its almost exact storyline just a few years ago, and just last fall on the Switch.” Jeff Young – Analog Stick Gaming
