AtomWhat?! Secret of Mana 2 English SNES cart on eBay?
Seiken Densetsu 3 (aka Secret of Mana 2) never saw the light of day in the USA even though it is arguably the best game in the Mana series. Even though Squaresoft overlooked the title there were rumors of a partially localized beta that never surfaced. So it’s a little suspicious that a cartridge is floating around on eBay sporting a Secret of Mana 2 sticker and Nintendo seal of approval. Odds are that the cartridge is a fraud and is based on Neill Corlett’s fan translation.

Yeah it’s a definite fake. I remember when I began searching for Seiken Densetsu 3 about a year ago on eBay seeing these Secret of Mana 2 SNES cart on eBay with people listing it as SUPER RARE, NOT EVEN PRINTED IN U.S., ACTUAL ENGLISH LOCALIZATION THAT NEVER MADE IT HERE”. It’s a bunch of bull; and as you noted in your last sentence, it is a fake cart and is based on Neill Corlett’s translation.
Nice way to make a quick buck. Next thing you know people will start selling bootleg carts of Tales of Phantasia with the DeJAP translation; and we all know how DeJAP exaggerated all of Klarth’s and Arche’s memorable one liners.

If this was real, I could hopefully maintain hope it will appear in the Wii Shop. Definitely a fake, but its a pretty good job.. I would buy it if it works.

Forget what’s wrong and what’s right. If there’s an English version of this game out there playable on the SNES I want it now. I’ve been waithing 13 years for to play this game.

Selling a bootleg game with a Fan translation on it. Even as an emulator and ROMs user, I find this wrong.
