And I refuse to play Secret of Mana anymore unless it's with 2 other people. It's the only way.
Square was close to mainstream for a while there, with Secret of Mana and SD3. They should try again.

VGdrum gets 'dangerous' with Secret of Mana
NukaCola has emerged from his cocoon to deposit another drum-layered game track on Destructoid's doorstep. This time, it's the boss battle theme "Danger" from Secret of Mana for the Super Nintendo. I have to be a little critical and mention that Nuka's drumming during the intro is pretty off. He admits the song's difficulty, so I respect that he owned up to that flub, and he does manages to pick up the pace afterward. I have Secret of Mana on Virtual Console, but I only got an hour in before putting it down and walking away. Not because I didn't find the game fun, but because I have no partner to play co-op with. I need a friend! Will you guys be my friend and play Mana with me? VGdrum Request IX: Secret of Mana "Danger" [Pixelitis] Did you know?

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)If that game had online. Co-op, I would be playing with you in a heartbeat. That game is in my top 3 games of all time. Now I think I need to replay it for about the 20th time Thanks buddy! And yeah screw those odd-time signatures. Once I get my drums mic'ed up I want to re-record everything and take care of all of my flubs.
And I refuse to play Secret of Mana anymore unless it's with 2 other people. It's the only way. Danger was such a complex song with two separate parts to it that sounded distinct and exhilarating. I personally prefer Pain the Universe from Legend of Mana (best name ever) but Danger still ranks high up. It really is time to bust out a Mana game on current generation consoles. I've always felt that the developers making action rpgs are far too few. It's basically Nintendo's Zelda, FromSoft's Souls, and a bunch of forlorn projects that never really found their own voice.
Square was close to mainstream for a while there, with Secret of Mana and SD3. They should try again. He is very technically skilled, but his sense of timing is a bit off. Also, why is his drum seat is so high? He's only making things more difficult for himself that way. Also I think he should improvise some more, the drums on the original track are kind of dull (in retrospect because it's still one of my favorite games of all time, music included). But I have no ill will for him, just constructive criticism. he got the the idea faster than I did, so... good on him. 12:00 PM on 05.24.2013 Sold: Green Man Gaming has Tomb Raider for $13.60When a well-received big-budget game falls below that magical $20 price point, I'm in. Green Man Gaming has an excellent deal on Tomb Raider which drops the PC version from $49.99 all the way down to $16.99. And with the promo code GMG20-LLASD-D8WBQ, it's $13.60. Yes, that is ridiculous! Act sooner than later, as the deal is good through the rest of the day.
