In an announcement that I must admit came as a complete surprise, Square Enix revealed that they are working on a Secret of Mana remake.

Secret of Mana will be coming to PC, PS4, and PSVita on February 15th at a rather hefty $40 price tag. I would love to tell you more about the remake but I'm afraid the details are currently in short supply.
