Anyone else more excited for Super Mario Bros Wonder then the Super Mario RPG remake? I didn’t really think it needed a remake. You can play it everywhere. Pretty sure it’s on Nintendo Online and then there is the SNES classic too. The graphical style in which high def models are turned into sprites are just so mid-90’s. Replacing those with just generic HD Mario models seem a little lackluster or boring.
I’ll probably skip Super Mario RPG, unless they pull a FF7.
I played the whole of the original, and it was fantastic.
That said, I think the target audience is folks that missed RPG the first time and want to experience it withv some rough edges sanded off. For that, I think it will be fantastic, again.
I never played the original, but it’s been on my list since back when I was still playing on emulators… Never got around to get it for Virtual Console either. So I am considering buying the remake once it’s released!
I will probably also buy Wonder!
I suspect you’ll be happy with the remake.
The trailer is full of perfectly recreated moments from the original game, just with better graphics.
Several moments in the trailer were kind of just saying “Remember this weird but fun thing? It’s still here!”.
As a fan on the original, the remake trailer looks very good.
I am very excited for both games, but the visual style of Super Mario Wonder looks stunning, I’m really glad they innovated with the visuals. We’ve been having the same plain looking 3d models for a while now and this is like a breath of fresh air.
I have played Mario RPG a few times in my life, including once within the past couple of years. The remake looks like a straight remaster with updated graphics, so I don’t really have any desire to play it again, especially if it means paying $60 or whatever it will cost. But I think this game isn’t really aimed at me. There are a lot of people who never played the original, including lots of young kids who weren’t around when it came out. I think that is the main audience for this remake. And for them, I think this will be an exciting release, because the game is still awesome.
I can’t imagine they’re building the game off of the old original Mario RPG, so it’s definitely a remake. Remakes aren’t defined by their changes to gameplay, but by whether they’re built from the ground up or not.
I’d genuinely be blown away if they just remastered the original game after so much time.
nah actually more excited for mario RPG, if only for the amazing remade music
It isn’t on Switch online. Only emulation, snes classic, and now defunct virtual consoles had it.
It’s great that it got a proper remake, and it’s great that Nintendo made a new 2D Mario as well.
