Nintendo DS · 2012
About this game
Some years before the action begins, a great catastrophe began at the base of the Mana Tree.
This gives the main characters, Ferrik, Tamber, Poppen and Wanderer, who's parents were killed in the disaster, reason to find out what happened.

The game takes place on the Island of Illusia, at the center of which lies the Mana Tree.
The game is a real time Action/RPG very similar to the style of Secret of Mana .
New features include dual weapon systems, so characters can use one long range and one melee weapon at a time.
Although there is much more that can be done with each weapon, there are only four in the game, as opposed to twice as many in previous titles.
The game supports Wireless LAN for 4 players.
About Nintendo DS
The dual-screen, touch-enabled Nintendo DS (2004) became the best-selling handheld of all time, helped by its huge and genre-diverse library. Cartridge-based DS games have held up well physically over 20 years, and complete-in-box copies of the system's biggest sellers (Nintendogs, Pokémon, Mario Kart) remain very accessible for new collectors starting out.
Gamevaro tracks Children of Mana [Not for Resale] for Nintendo DS with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Children of Mana [Not for Resale] to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NDS release dates back to 2012.
