Great Package for GameBoy and SNES Mana Fans
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Collection of Mana is a physical cart containing the first three games in the Seiken Densetsu (Mana) series: Final Fantasy Adventure (Seiken Densetsu 1) - Originally released on the Gameboy and was an action RPG spinoff of the Final Fantasy series. So it has chocobos and even some sprite work from the old NES FF games. Was remade on the PlayStation Vita as Adventures of Mana. Secret of Mana (Seiken Densetsu 2) - Originally released on the Super Nintendo. Action RPG featuring a full three character party. Combat is a little clunky, but still holds up decently well. Was remade on the PlayStation 4 recently. Trials of Mana (Seiken Densetsu 3) - Originally released on the Super Famicom (Super Nintendo) in Japan and nowhere else. Still an action RPG featuring a three character party that you create from a pool of six characters and depending on who you pick will alter the story. Currently being remade on PS4 and Switch (though the remake loses the multiplayer functionality). This collection marks the first time Trials of Mana/Seiken Densetsu 3 has ever been officially released in the West, which if you're a longtime fan of the series, is a huge deal since it's one of the best ones. The price is a little high for what could be regarded as 3 very old games, but when you consider how much work had to go into localizing the third game into English, it's much easier to justify. I grew up playing this series and to be able re-experience it on the Switch is such a treat. A couple of the games even have multiplayer (Secret supports 3 players, while Trials supports 2). If you like old school action RPG's, you're in for a treat.

Nintendo Switch - Collection of Mana
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.What can I say, except if you are a fan of the Mana series, this is definitely a must have for any Video Game collector! Collection of Mana, heck, even just Trials of Mana in the West, is a wet dream come true for me. If you decide to pick this up, your getting three wonderful games that you can play anywhere. Some extra features, like a museum with the series artwork, or a history lesson on the entire franchise, wouldn't have gone amiss, but we got something we never thought we'd get. If your a fan of RPG games, this is a must have for your collection!

An enjoyable return to my childhood
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This collection includes two classic games from the Game Boy and SNES and a third game that is officially released for the first time in the US. All three are fantastic and worth revisiting if you played them in the past and maybe even more worth it if you are playing for the first time and enjoy retro games. Only 4 stars instead of 5 because they are straight ports of the originals without any quality of life improvements but don't let that turn you off, they are all worth a play through

The best 3 games in 1 collection
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Collection of Mana is a 3-pack containing the first three games in the Mana series. Final Fantasy Adventure starts the game off kind of difficult, but gets easier later on when you start building up levels. The game doesn't help as much in trying to find out where to go next, but as long as you can look up a guide when you are stuck, you should be able to finish this game. Secret of Mana is one of the greatest games of all time. It's an RPG that has a great leveling system, including the weapons and magic. The music is great and the story is fantastic. This is the best game to play in this collection. The 3rd game, Seiken Densetsu 3, is finally getting an American release in this collection, and it takes this game to the next level. You can get new jobs and branch off those jobs to two different styles, a light and a dark side. The story is very good and the battle system is just as great as well.

Great collection, but no extras
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a solid collection of three classic games. I had never even played Final Fantasy Adventure before, so that alone made it worth a buy. But as many others have pointed out, this is the first time that Trials of Mana has been released in the west, which makes this a must-buy collection for retro and JRPG fans. As good as these games are, though, being RPGs, they aren't just the kind of games that you pick up and play. So, I think that Square Enix dropped the ball in a big way by not including any kind of instruction manuals for each game. You're given a basic button map, but that's it, so you're likely to find yourself pausing the games in mid-play to search Google for how you're supposed to do certain things. That's how Trials of Mana has been for me, which is sad, because otherwise it's been a pretty compelling game to play. I also have some regrets that no bonus features were included like historical notes, concept art, sound selection, etc. You get the three games, and that's it. For forty dollars, it would have been nice to have some bonus features thrown in in addition to the games. I bought this game on cartridge because the physical release is a limited one, and the collector in me can't pass up something like that. If you're like me, then you should snap it up while it's still available (although it will remain available digitally on the Switch's eShop). The reversible cover art is a nice touch, and the games themselves will be enough to keep you occupied for a pretty long time.

A collection worth collecting
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you always wanted to play the original Handheld games, this is a must. Sure you can emulate it, but in Adventure you have an option to make it look like you are playing on a real live Gameboy. like in looks not style. It recreates exactly the way the Gameboy screen displayed the game. Beyond that you get a near perfect port of Secret of Mana from the NES and the long await (translated and brought stateside), Trails of Mana. Once again you could possibly get a translated emulation, but this remake fixed all the issues anyone coming into these old school games for the first time may not want to deal with. All three worth playing if you were every into the RPG series from Squaresoft, [now SquareEnix].

Classic adventures
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been a fan of the Mana series ever since Secret of Mana on the SNES and I was very excited to hear about this compilation. Represented are the first three games in the series, which are the best ones in my opinion. Final Fantasy Adventure, a Gameboy game, is a little rough to play today, but it has its charm. Secret of Mana ups the ante and has an even bigger world, fun weapons/spells, wonderful music, and co-op play. Trails of Mana was never localized prior to now, but I'm glad it was because the branching stories with the six playable characters and class upgrade system make for great replay value. There are also some extras included, such as a way to listen to the soundtracks of each game in the menu, and that's nice, but I would have liked more, such as more artwork. My only real complaint is that while you can have 3 players for Secret of Mana, you can only have 2 with Trials of Mana (despite having 3 characters on-screen). That and some known bugs in Trials of Mana were not fixed. Still, this is a must own for action RPG fans!

Q: Questionso what is different about the Trials of Mana included in this, and the Trials of Mana by itself for $49.99?
Asked by Nekobasu.
- A:Answer The trials of Mana in this collection is rendered in the original 2d style, while the standalone Trials of Mana release is a fully redone 3d world with changes to stats and attack moves in battle. The former is multi-player, while the latter (unfortunately) is single player only.
