a GB game and 2 SNES games? for 45$ US?

Your phone can play these games, your tablet, your laptop/desktop ect.

Most people probably already have played these.

These are 22-26 years old games, its crazy their not sold for like 1-2$ each on virtual console.

That said Seiken Densetsu 2,3 are still decent games today.

But you can get them off a rom site for free, and play them on any device.

That 45$ price tag nintendo put on these is kinda nuts.

Yeeah, the more I look into it it's not quite as cool as it initially sounded. Aside from the fact that it sounds like a good chance it won't even be localized, I didn't realize it's going to be around a $40 price tag. Figured it could be a cool way to play Seiken Densetsu 1 and 3 since I've never played them before, but apparently the consensus is they're not quite as good as Secret of Mana

Though I'd still like to play them, and it'd be cool to play one of my favorite games ever, Secret of Mana on my TV and on the go interchangably. Roms are ok and all but they're not exactly the same as having a physical copy and using a gamepad, specifically w/the separate joycons and HD rumble and all.. I'd probably still buy it if it can with all three games translated at 40, but yeah that's a bit much even for a collection that includes one of my alltime favorite RPGs.

For me SD3 is the best among the 2 others although I took a lot of fun playing and finishing SD2 several times.

" Square Enix has said that they are considering developing versions for PlayStation 4 and personal computers."

Not that it was anywhere nearly as good as Secret of Mana I/II. The series has declined since that peak.

You must be a sales major or something!  I think your onto something there :p

Seriously though, Nintendo should be putting these great old games, onto android/ios/their own virtual console, for cheap and sell millions of them instead. Glad to see Im not the only one that thinks so.

Are you refusing to acknowledge the fact you are blaming the wrong company for the price? Unless I've gotten the wrong impression and Square Enix no longer owns Secret of Mana.

I never got a chance to play Secret of Mana. If they release an English-language version of this, I'd be all over it.

 

Well the first one is on iOS/android.....l0l

But playing it with touchcontrols is crap.

I'm not buying a controller for only one game. It's good to know that their actually is some support. Yet, I would rather want to see the game on my switch.
