If you ever want to see Secret of Mana as it was intended to be before they threw the axe in the game due to memory constraints, please write something in this thread to vote. If we manage to get square to see this, they might start working on it again!
I would gladly spend 2000 wii points on the "lostlevels of mana"
I guess a lot of it is already made. Its money well spent on their behalf! =D
Come on Square!
**UPDATE**
I recieved this mail after contacting them regarding this matter:
Thank you for contacting SQUARE ENIX Customer Support,
We hope this letter answers your questions.
Our parent company, SQUARE ENIX Co., Ltd. of Japan, has no current plans to re-release that <b>particular title at this time.</b> This is <b>not to say that it will never happen,</b> it's just that SQUARE ENIX of Japan is currently focusing on numerous other projects.
We hope that this information has been of some assistance, and we apologize for any inconvenience.
The game was originally intended for the SNES CD so it would have been a bigger game. As for Squeenix reading this and remaking the game based on one thread on a Nintendo fan site, I'd rate the chances of that happening on a par with me marrying Lucy Liu i.e. it ain't gonna happen.
I've been wanting this since the mid 90's. When playing the game you can just feel the parts of the game that was left out, especially during the Sage Joch event. But considering how the Mana series has fared in the past decade it feels more unlikely than ever. No, I'm thinking the the best we can hope at this time is them releasing their mobile phone remake of Seiken Densetsu (which I would love, Sword of Mana did nothing for me) on WiiWare since it would probably require not too much effort to get working. And if that was a hit... Who knows...
Companies don't make critical business decisions on fan petitions...they base their decisions on sales and profits. I understand your excitement / want...but the reality is they won't pay attention to this link even if you have 10,000 'yays'. For now, I'll just be happy that they released Secret of Mana on VC (started playing it again with my wife and son last night).
I'm not saying there's no chance they'll read it, just that they won't do anything. I'd like to think that I could have some kind of influence on decision making at a major games company but unfortunately I live in the real world.
If we get their attention that there are money to make on finishing a game, they will do something about it! =) If it was near copletion already, why not just put a dude on it for a couple of weeks, the profit margin must be tremendous! Or at least release it to the community, we can surely do it together..

Instead of having one hardware unit with one game (wii) you have to have 3 blokes with 3 DS.s and 3 games (DS), the screensize is of by more than a couple of inches as well. Even I would not pick up such a thing, its copletly pointless going the DS route. My opinion anyway.
Why not just release the material they have, give it a couple of weeks of polishing tops, rerelese it on the wii? Play it on the same screen, with friends, in the same room. Fun as hell!
