Not having really been happy with last couple installments in the series, I'll wait before getting excited. While I did enjoy Legend and Dawn of Mana, they weren't really what I wanted in either case. I'd really love a return to the roots of the original three games.
I grew up playing Secret of Mana and it's one of my all-time favorite games ever! Seiken Densetsu 3 was pretty good, too, but I wasn't a fan of the rest (Legend of Mana was meh). I hope this goes back to the style of the SNES game.
The Mana games haven't been that great since SD3. I refuse to get excited unless they prove to me that they can actually pull it off.
(Still, Legend of Mana was decent. It just wasn't as good as SD 2 or 3)

3DS Circle of Mana game = head exploding. That would be straight up transcendant.

I'm remaining skeptical but PLEASE let this turn out well. Secret of Mana is one of my favorite games of all time and I really, really want a good new entry in this series.
Heck I wouldnt mind a hand drawn sprite update of SOM or SD3. But please let this turn out well...

That already makes me more excited for TGS!

Eh. Hearing SE trademarking an old franchise is just as much a cause for worry as celebration. So we'll see.
Seriously people, where is this enthusiasm coming from?
It's like when George Lucas announces a new Star Wars project and a small subset of people still react favorably. Do you remember the last few years? Do you remember every attempt since the original trilogy? Why would this be any different?

Judging by the name it's most likely going to be some lame social Facebook/phone game you play with your CIRCLE of friends.
I would love a 3DS Seiken Densetsu done in the style of Secret, SD3, or Legend though.

I remember not really liking The Secret of Mana on SNES and I can't remember why. I was hyped for it because I loved Zelda/Final Fantasy but it didn't play right in my hands. Maybe I should fire up the ol' emulator and give it another go.
I was excited. Then I remembered Sword of Mana, Children of Mana, Heroes of Mana, and Dawn of Mana. I really want to believe there will be another good Seiken Densetsu game, or even a flawed but still enjoyable title like Legend of Mana.
Still, if it has the same charm through art and music, I'll probably buy whatever this turns out to be. I just can't resist this series, and it'll nurture the hope that my support will someday fund an official SD3 release, with online multiplayer on the 3DS. I mean, come on, SD3 is 3DS backwards, so the logo makes itself. The game is already done in my mind.

A new ...of Mana game!!
Wait, when was the last time this was good news? Children of Mana wasn't so hot, Sword of Mana was so-so, and Dawn of Mana was an aberration unto the God's good earth. I will remain cautious about this just because I have little faith they'll bring back the magic of Secret of Mana or the skillful design of SD3.
But I still want it to be good

This is going to be an fee-to-play, DLC-"enabled", social multi-player game on the iOS.
Consequently, when I mis-typed free-to-play, I inadvertently coined an (appropriate) new term: Fee-to-Play. I'm sure I'm not the first, but I certainly have amused myself.

i still want a secret of mana port to the 3DS like they did with chrono trigger on the DS. Ihonestly havent liked the series, sadly since legend of mana or sword of mana. Heroes was meh and children was also slightly meh to me.
What the gaming world needs right now is a remake of Seiken Densetsu 3. The entire World of Mana idea was a flop because it took away leveling up. Worse, it allowed players to level up in chapters, but took those levels away at the end of each chapter like a fucking tease. There's a difference between trying new things and breaking a franchise. The Mana series could have been huge, but Square Enix dropped the ball and embarrassed themselves. This is their last chance to redeem the series as a whole, but my hopes aren't high.
