Should I play this localized version on Switch, or stick with the fan-translated patch on my Super NT?

Trials of Mana PS4/Switch/PC (2020) and Mana Collection Switch announced
- Thread starter Xavi
- Start date
I was about to buy digital but the Nintendo UK store lists a physical version with a TBD release date and has box art with no download banner..
Can anyone who's played the Trials of Mana official translation post some pics comparing it to the ROM hack? Really interested to see the differences.
T-thank you for your sacrifice Sp-chan.
It literally hurts my eyes to look at that contrast-less bland thing.
SD3/Trials tips for newcomers:
- Don't invest stat points in DEX (AGI originally) or LUCK. They are broken, partially implemented stats. Focus mainly on your damage stat (STR for phys damage/INT for Angela) or utility/spell learning stat (SPRT or INT). DEX is only used for learning Hawk's Ninja class spells. LUCK affects the slot minigame when opening a chest. Everyone should splash some points into STA (VIT originally) for more HP and physical defense.
- Most of Duran's Light class shields are bugged and don't do actually anything when equipped. The Oath Shield is the only one that works properly.
I'd be surprised if these bugs were fixed in the collection.

The best part about this is that SD3 is such a replayable game by design, so you could play the original game to see what its like, play the remake 6 months later to see the changes, and you wouldn't feel bored at all playing the same game a 2nd time.
Will Collection of Mana physical be in limited capacity? I want to order now but have other adult obligations.
Hello! Mana outsider here. I've never played any of these and have what I would describe as a cursory interest in JRPGs (I like PS1-era Final Fantasy but have a harder time getting into the NES/SNES classic JRPGs, unless we're talking Chrono Trigger). I find it a lot easier to get into modern JRPGs than older ones (currently playing through Xenoblade 2 and FFXII, and Persona 4/5, SMT IV are some of my favorite games ever). Would you recommend the mana collection to someone like me?
SD3 is such a classic. Been years since I last played it, tempted to go with my boy Hawk instead of trying something different.
Collection is up for preorder at Gamestop.
Amazon, too.

Seiken Densetsu 3 combat is so fucking bad. Please fix it in the remake. Pressing the buttons serve no purpose. Your dodge, attack, movement means nothing in this game. The entire fucking game pauses just so you can watch a dart fly across the screen to hit your character and you can't do anything. The constant pausing to cast spells. Why even press the attack button when holding it down causes things to happen?
I'm excited to see how they handle class changes.EENHIOEZF?JEIZ?FG

THE GOD HAS BEEN REVEALED
Based off the trailer it looks like magic is real time now.
Man, any game I import no mater how obscure or niche, comes over to the west eventually after all. It's like a fucking curse.
Maybe I will import Shadow Tower Abyss next (even though I couldn't even play it), then From Software will suddenly release a remaster in the west for PS4 ffs.

Hey, finally an options for Europeans to...
Oh fuck off.
At least VG+ or someone like that will have it up soon at this rate I guess.
It's not physical it seems:
And Amazon.com doesn't ship to Germany either, how is that a thing in this day and age?
Dude, this game hasn't been released in the use spoiler tags
Well there'd be no physical version if it was $20, just like there isn't for Contra.
I bought the collection even I think the price is too high.
First 2 games have a strong nostalgia grip on me, and i'd like to finally enjoy the third one in its 16bit glory.
I'm weak.

The page has a Game Card version listed, but TBD. If you want it now, it's the Download version. If you can wait, you can have physical.
I'm buying it three times, once now for instant play, the remake and a physical copy of the collection.
The one I'm buying today is for the time I could have bought it back for the snes...

They didn't have to do much other than translating the third game to warrant 40$. No development of assets, engine etc.
Lots of classic games get rereleased all the time for much less.
And translating a Super Famicom game in this day and age is still a full localization effort.
Oh yeah I see it now on the German page too. Man my urge to double-dip is strong, if only they would clarify the physical status for the EU :/

For EU folks, it's on the official Square Enix store page.
But no date

I just ordered the physical on the EU Square-Enix store. Free shipping too:
Never mind. I was thrown off by the text font.
Wouldn't surprise me. I'm pretty sure the same team worked on Rise of Mana, Secret of Mana, and Adventures of Mana.
At least that page confirms that it is indeed a physical copy.
Now to wait for some import friendly seller to put it up, like VG+.
Looks like "na" to me.
Game pricing is generally based more on perceived demand rather than development costs. You've got 2 well-regarded classic games that they could have easily charged $5-10 a piece for and a holy grail of a localization that fans have been requesting for decades. They could have charged less, but I see why they didn't - either you really want Seiken Densetsu 3 in English on your Switch and are willing to pay good money for it or you don't care and you're going to skip the collection at most prices.
To use another franchise as an example, if Nintendo release a Mother Trilogy on Switch that was the only way to get Mother 3 in English, they could easily charge $40 for it and people would pay it.
