Secret of Mana for VC on Boxing Day News
Wii News by Robert Purchese
Nintendo plans to add brilliant Square Enix Super Nintendo action role-player Secret of Mana to the Wii Virtual Console on Boxing Day.
This is one of our all-time SNES favourites, and at 800 Wii Points (GBP 6 / EUR 8 approx) we've no need to be asked twice. Consider the three-player co-op, upgradable weapons, ridable dragon and epic plot and you shouldn't need much prompting either. Punchable rabbit-things, too. Even now the words "ring menu system" give us chills.
The same day also hails the arrival of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 from the days of the Master System. Sonic was good back then, and at 500 Points (GBP 3.50 / EUR 5 approx) it's a cheap trip down memory lane, where Tails is invited to cross the road without looking. Splat.
We'll bring you our thoughts on both soon.

I might actually buy a Wii for this and some of the other old games on the VC.
I wonder if I'd be the only person to own a Wii with no intention of getting any Wii games? |

Probably 50hz. But at least it doesn't have that much impact in a game like Secret of Mana.
Definitely my next VC purchase. |

Secret of Mana. Heard great things. But I can be bothered with a JRPG? Is the combat a turn-based piece of masturbatory juice or is it awesome "I'm gonna press this button to slash your face right now then do it again without waiting a turn"?
The latter, although you can choose to wait for your stamina to go back to 100% after certain attacks if you want to do maximum damage. But really the best way to describe this game is lke Links awakening with better graphics, characters, music and VAST amount of gamelay. This game is also very long! Multi-player with 3 people too, can't WAIT for this game! MAster Sstem Sonic 2! hehe the first level of that game has amazing music xD
