This same localization would later be applied to the 3D remake published almost a year later. | | While each game in the ''Collection'' is notable on its individual merits, the ''Collection'' is particularly notable for hosting the only official multi-language localization of what was previously known as ''Seiken Densetsu 3'' in its original state.

| |align="left"|"''Collection of Mana includes three must-play games for any JRPG fan. They have beautiful art design, incredible soundtracks, and Trials of Mana may arguably be the best game the SNES ever had. Unfortunately it’s a bit light on additional content beyond the games themselves.''"

| |align="left"|"''Collection of Mana, heck even just Trials of Mana in the West, is a dream come true for me. If you decide to pick this up, you’re getting three wonderful games that you can play anywhere. Some extra features, like a museum with the series’ artwork, or a history lesson on the entire franchise, wouldn’t have gone amiss, but we got something we never thought we’d get.''"
