Square Enix today announced two new titles in their 'Mana' series of games: Children of Mana for the Nintendo DS and Legend of Mana 4 (Seiken Densetsu 4 in Japan) for an unspecified platform. 4 color rebellion has obtained a scanned page from the recent Famitsu showing off a few screens from both games. Children of Mana looks very much like Secret of Mana (Seiken Densetsu 2) for the SNES, but the magazine does not reveal how the DS's second screen or touch-screen capabilities will come into play. The Legend of Mana 4 screen looks to be fully fleshed out in 3D, but the details do not give away any hints as to what console it is coming to.
As for World of Mana, which you may remember from the flash movie trailer Square Enix put up on their site a few months back, no word on that project was announced.
Since we know very little of these titles, all we can do is guess. On what platform do you think Legend of Mana 4 will be released, and how do you think Square Enix should use the touch screen for Children of Mana?
[Thanks, mat]
