Nintendo is remaking Super Mario RPG

​


Nintendo is reviving the very first Mario RPG. In a style very reminiscent of the original, Nintendo is giving Super Mario RPG a full remake, with a trailer that shows off beloved moments from the game with a fresh new look. Mario, Peach, Bowser, and yes, Geno, are back. The game launches on November 17, 2023.

I must be a real old boomer because I never see the appeal of these things. It looked fine on SNES to me and improved graphics and HD remakes never get me excited. The only time I even care is if they make a significant change to the art style like the remake of Star Ocean 2 or Live a Live. In those cases I am excited to play with the new art direction but most of the new HD remakes and especially remasters are kind of pointless to me.

This remake looks sick as hell, although I will agree with some of the posters above that I prefer the crunchier artstyle of the original. At least they didn't ruin the animations or anything, because generally speaking, overanimation is what can SERIOUSLY kill the look and feel of the original game when it comes to remakes like this.

Quick sidenote: The current box art on Amazon is the most marketing placeholder shit I have ever seen in my life, good god. Like, even Ultra Smash's placeholder art feels more inspiring than this, probably because it has like, an actual background and action pose. Come on, what's the point of even having a placeholder if it's gonna be THIS bland?

Not a great game, it's actually mediocre. We didnt get this in England so I'm not clouded by nostalgia.

Paper Mario 1 & 2? The first 3 Mario and Luigi games? So much better! They would make far better remakes and are far more solid RPGs. Even Mario and Luigi 2!

True story, it's all been fact checked several times order. I do appreciate if others disagree, though if they are wrong. Very wrong. So wrong that they're overloaded with wrongness byt I won't hold it against them, even though they are wrong.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
