I hope you have a spooktacular day today, or something along those lines.

Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get my update I wanted for today done due to schoolwork and the likes, but you can still have your candy!

See, we’re one of the cool houses here at Seikens, we don’t just give you one piece of candy we give you two. That’s because we’re nice. And also, those aren’t just any candy and chocolate, they are the official Secret of Mana artwork for those two items. I think it’s really fun to know that the Chocolate has little Rabites stamped into it. Anyways, these and other official arts will be making their way into the Secret of Mana section as soon as I get some time on my hands again!

Happy Halloween!

– Whoa, there are a ton of good deals on eBay this week, so we’re gonna try to compact this as much as we can by running through items game by game! Ok Mr. Moti, you’re up first with Final Fantasy Adventure!

– I’d like to start off by linking you to this Japanese Copy of the Game, it’s at a pretty good price considering how rare it is! You should pick up this Seiken Densetsu Basic Guidebook too, it’s really cheap! It’s got all the awesome hand drawn items, weapons, armor and monsters in it! In fact, you could get From This Seller too!

-Secret of Mana has a basic guidebook like that as well. Here Is One for a good price, and the shipping is free as well! This other Secret of Mana Guidebook isn’t as good as the first one I linked to, but it has small one panel comics showing how to fight the bosses, and that is neat. If you want the map for the game you can Get the Map Alone or you can Get the Map with the Cartridge! Then you can buy The Manual and English Guidebook for your collection, and round it off with the Nintendo Power Poster!

– Great job Neko, that’s a ton of Secret of Mana stuff! As far as Seiken Densetsu 3 goes all I found was this Seiken Densetsu 3 Guidebook. It’s not as good as the other two guidebooks, but at this price you can’t complain!

– Now we’re running out of stuff! How about music? Get the Legend of Mana Soundtrack for a good price! Also you might look into getting this Pandora’s Vox 2 Doujin CD. I didn’t know this existed, but the first one is good so I imagine the second one would be too!

– I guess I’d better wrap it up here! You can’t go wrong buying the Children of Mana and Dawn of Mana Artbook. It’s really one of the best pieces of merchandise you can get.

– See you next week everyone, have a happy Halloween!

We got a new Affiliate, it’s a site called Legendra RPG. It’s all in French but it’s a really cool site. If you can’t read French you can still enjoy the vast amount of RPG related media they have. And if you can understand French you can get a whole lot more information from their site.
Check them out:
Legendra RPG
They also gave us some Secret of Mana Mobile pictures that you can find in the Gallery.

In honor of Secret of Mana Mobile being released, I’ve uploaded the remaining Nintendo Power issues into our gallery for your reading pleasure. Remember, if they’re too small you can click on them to download them in a bigger size which is 1000 pixels wide by however tall they are, varies from one to the next because I suck at scanning, but hey, they’re readable right? And I don’t think I cut off any pictures, so bonus points!
Volume 62
Volume 63
Volume 64

And just as a small hint of what’s to come in future updates, I’m going to leave this image here:

In Japan of course.

The rest of the world will just have to be happy looking over the Official Website for Secret of Mana Mobile.

There you can see new graphics and some other stuff, check it out!

Well it’s the week before Halloween, so we’ve gotta have some creepy music right?

Here is Ceremony from Secret of Mana, probably the creepiest track any of the Seiken Densetsu games have to offer.

Ceremony – Hiroki Kikuta
[MEDIA=196]

But, since we almost always use Ceremony around Halloween, I’m also putting on another creepy track for your listening pleasure.

Sacrifice Part 1 – Hiroki Kikuta
[MEDIA=197]

And with that, this update is over, but be sure to check back later this week so you can get your Halloween candy.

Hello my name is Sheexy.

Do you remember the Merchandise section?

Chances are you probably don’t, considering the last time I updated it was two years ago. But I’ve decided to fix that. I’ve just finished up the Children of Mana Merchandise section where you can read about the various bits and bobs you can find for sale related to the game. I’ve also updated the Secret of Mana and Seiken Densetsu 3 sections slightly.

The Merchandise section is a really good way for you to see what is out there, I’ve got pictures of most of the merchandise’s insides and outsides so you can see what you’re actually getting.

If you’ve got any questions about merchandise from games that I haven’t finished putting online yet feel free to Contact Me about it and I’ll try to help you out.

– I want to start off today’s update with an important message:

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS AN ENGLISH SEIKEN DENSETSU 3 RELEASE

SEIKEN DENSETSU 3 IS ONLY JAPANESE

So if you see an English copy of Seiken Densetsu 3 on eBay or any other auction place, don’t waste money on it. Sure they put a ROM into a real SNES cartridge, and they made a neat looking fake box for it, but there is no way it’s worth how much I see the things sell for.

Over 100 dollars for a fake merchandise item is not a good buy! Don’t get fooled!

– Wow, all caps, this really bugs you huh?

– It’s just a real jerk move to take advantage of people who don’t know any better. So please, people, don’t fall for any scams involving Seiken Densetsu 3 in English. It’s home-made and non-official.

– Well how about these official Legend of Mana goods then? And at amazing prices to boot! You can get this Legend of Mana: Making of Mana art book and enjoy all the character and item drawings in the game, as well as two manga chapters and an overview of all the LoM merchandise that exists! You can also get the Legend of Mana Ultimania Guidebook! Just remember, it’s all in Japanese!

– Get this Secret of Mana Nintendo Power Poster and hang it up on your wall. You know it would look purrfect in your room. This Sword of Mana Poster would look great too.

– Music lovers like me should pick up a copy of the Sword of Mana Soundtrack (One, Two). Or you can get the Piano Book and learn to play the seven piano songs on the second disk!

– Speaking of Piano Books, this Seiken Densetsu Piano Book has all the game music, and is immensely rare. Reflecting its rarity is its price however.

– Speaking of prices, the Children of Mana and Dawn of Mana Art Book (One, Two) may seem expensive, but I assure you it’s worth the money. Here, take a look at these pictures I took of it: The Cover, Character Page Example, all of the main characters have big sections devoted to them like this, and even some side characters. Children of Mana Characters also include pictures of all of their text box faces, The World Example, each area in the world has a large amount of history and design information devoted to it, The Character Designs, this is where the heart of the book is at, all the Dawn of Mana characters big or small and all of the enemies have a large section showcasing their designs and sketches involved with the process, The Enviornment Designs, this is like the character designs but for the enviornments in Dawn of Mana.

Hey, I got around to cleaning up some of the 950MB of Seiken Densetsu images I have sitting in my “to-do” folder!


Head over to the gallery and you can look through Volume 57 of Nintendo Power with the first Secret of Mana feature!


I only scanned the Secret of Mana sections in, but if you’re on this site you probably don’t care much about what else was in the magazine.

The text might be too small for you to read in the gallery, but if you click on the images you can download a real big version of it. Some of the pages aren’t quite perfectly aligned, and the margins might be a little bit rough in places, but that’s ok. They’re called margins because they are marginally important. That’s not the real reason behind that name, but maybe it should be?

I’ll be getting the other three Secret of Mana features from Nintendo Power up soon!

Today’s MMM update comes from Dawn of Mana, and I picked it because it kind of reminds me of Halloween.
Rondo of Sand – Kenji Ito

The song just has this kind of silly evil vibe to it, pretty fitting considering it plays in the Jadd level that takes place after the world of Dawn of Mana is kind of overrun by the Grimlies. And I don’t care what you say, the Grim versions of the Rabites and Chobin Hoods may technically be super evil, but they’re also really silly. I can’t take something so cute serious when it tries to be all evil like.
