Rumor: Secret of Mana series to hit the GameCube http://news.spong.com/detail/news.asp?prid=7511"Brownie Brown, the Nintendo-funded Tokyo-based development studio, has revealed today that it's working on a brand new title. The company was founded by the makers of the Seiken Densetsu (Sword Of Mana) series, and with much of its staff consisting of former Square employees, its work has an appealingly distinct style, as seen in its GBA games Sword Of Mana and Magical Vacation. No further details have been announced, although it's strongly suspected that the new game will be heading for release on Gamecube. All we have to go by is the very preliminary design sketch that has clearly come straight from the "It's Mr Pants" school of inadequate artistry. Three characters, two trees and one house are the only things ‘pictured', although that would fit with the contents of Secret Of Mana's opening chapter. A lot of RPG fans would give their right statistically-enhanced, armour-plated arm to get involved with a Seiken Densetsu game on the Gamecube. Perhaps this will be it. We'll keep you in the loop." -------------------------------------------------------------- Click the link above to view this apparent sketch (which coincidentally looks like a 4 year old's drawing). Before anyone goes bonkers, let it be known that nobody else has reported this news, while at the same time, Spong.com doesn't have the most trusted reputation. I'm not holding my breath, but it's something to talk about. - MarioLinkSamus |

it will more than likely be for the GBA or the DS. I'd love if it was a Cube/Revolution game, but I doubt it. ___________________  my sig is too big |

That's not a preliminary sketch, that's a doodle some guy made while making logs in the bathroom! I wouldn't be surprised if Spong itself just crammed out that drawing and made a news piece on it. ___________________  |

oh man, come on! You would think there would be something more "professional" out on the internet hinting at a new Sword of Mana gamecube game than THAT drawing. Oh well, guess we will have to wait and see what comes up if ANYTHING does. ___________________  Wii Code:0141-2992-0310-4549 Brawl Code:0602-5951-1825 |

This is fake. No videogame development company would release a picture like that. Spong sucks. |

I hope this is true if its not for GC at least make it for the DS. ___________________ I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs. -Thomas Jefferson, |

I don't believe it. HOWEVER: If the new console Mana game *IS* by Brownie Brown, it will be for the GameCube. I don't know if anyone remembers, but Nintendo acquired Brownie Brown a few years back, and lent them to Square-Enix to make the GBA title Sword of Mana (their second GBA title after the Japanese-only Magical Vacation). ___________________ right for you again and again my velvet goldmine |

Assuming that this has the slightest grain of truth to it a SoM game woud work better on the DS than the GC; so I doubt it would come out for the GC. |

And I doubt Brownie Brown has the resources required to make, at the very least, an average 3D game. Unless of course they plan on going 2D ala Four Swords. |
