Square Enix is showing some serious love to the iOS. First the Crystal Defenders strategy title, then confirmation of a Final Fantasy Tactics port and now a port of one of its most prized titles. Secret of Mana will be stepping out of 1993 and into your nearest iPod, iPad 0r iPhone on December 20th.

I'm fairly sure that this re-release is aimed at the same audience that made the game huge some seventeen years ago. Why else would they take a chance with the steep $9 price tag? People who've played the game say it's worth a lot more than that, so perhaps this is a steal. The game will be available at the App store tomorrow.
