No doubt a nice little surprise for some of you: Adventures of Mana has hit the PlayStation Store today on Vita in Europe with, as far as we know, zero warning from publisher Square Enix. The 3D remake of Game Boy classic Final Fantasy Adventure, it's a relatively simple action role-playing game that's cute and colourful.
This Vita version of the release is actually a port of the mobile edition which launched earlier this year in Japan. Square Enix had mentioned that it was looking into bringing the title to Sony's handheld at some point, but no official confirmation was ever given - until now.
The RPG's going for £11.49 here in the UK, and it weighs in at just over 500MB. As for a North American release, we're hoping that it'll be part of the incoming Store update.

Update: Adventures of Mana also launches today in North America, Square Enix has confirmed.

@belmont Is it possible to hide those ugly virtual buttons – from the mobile version – that can be seen in the screenshots on the PSN store?
Sony is dropping a bevy of games today. Never played this one but I love Secret of Mana... Will probably pick this up. Nice to see the Vita still getting some good stuff.
Secret of mana is one of my favorite games ever. Did not care for the direction of the ps1 sequels and later. Haven't seen this one but I wish I could try it! Too bad I sold my vita a while back - not much of a handheld gamer.
@xxAcesHighxx You can only hide the minimap. They are not that bad though I think. Problem is that there is no option to show all dialogue instantly...

Oh no. Time to play a little Musical Chairs with Vita games.
Please Sony, need 128gb memcard! I know it'll cost as much as the Vita itself but I'll pay it! Make it happen!
@belmont oh god.
