Looks just like the SNES games.

Obviously. I reported this first on my own site.

Its the best news ever.

Secret of mana was the best game ever.

This game will rule.

Oh


There are rumours that there is a Mana game in the works for the GC.

Possibily cell shaded as they had reservations about the series going 3D, so they want to make the transition as seamless as possible.

Something to look forward to i guess.

I wish they'd just hurry up and release the original SOM and Mario RPG for the GBA - I mean, they've ported almost every other SNES game.
