When Square Enix announced Visions of Mana at the end of last year, some were surprised that a Switch version was nowhere to be seen. In favor of one thing, the series itself started out on Nintendo platforms. We’ve also seen Collection of Mana as a Switch exclusive while Trials of Mana came out a few years ago as well.
In an interview alongside RPG Site, series producer Masaru Oyamada commented on the situation. Here’s what he had to say when asked why Switch isn’t a part of the plan this time around:
“That’s definitely a tricky question to give a direct answer to. For Trials of Mana, the main thing was how we had to consider the future of the series, and how to cultivate a playerbase in favor of future entries in the franchise. When we thought about the next, say, 10 years of the series’ future we felt it was paramount to really solidify what we wanted ‘Mana’ to be going forward. Some of those core tenets included a focus on expansive environments, and a richer experience overall. As a direct result, that’s what informed the hardware we decided to develop in support of. That’s all we can say specifically, at this moment.”
While it looks like we won’t be getting Visions of Mana on Switch, perhaps it could end up on the Switch’s successor. Time will tell if that happens in the end.

Man, I was really looking forward to playing Visions of Mana on my Switch. It’s a bummer that the producer is saying it’s negative happening. I get that they want to focus on other platforms, but the Switch has such a large player base. Hopefully they’ll change their minds in the future and bring the game to Nintendo’s console. Until then, I guess I’ll just have to find something else to play on my Switch.
Man, I was really looking forward to playing Visions of Mana on my Switch. It sucks that it’s no coming to the console. I get what the producer is saying about wanting to focus on making the game good in favor of other platforms first, but still, it would have been awesome to have it on Switch. Hopefully they’ll consider it in the future.
Man, I was really hoping in favor of Visions of Mana to come out on Switch. It sucks that the producer is saying it’s negative gonna occur. I wonder what the reasoning behind that is. Maybe they just couldn’t make it work on the system or something. Oh well, I guess I’ll just have to play it on a different platform. It’s a bummer, but what can you do?
