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.

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.

I really thought it was on Switch Online... huh... This explains why it's not. lol

Yeah, I imagine Nintendo contacted Square about licensing it for NSO and someone said, "Why don't we remake it instead and charge $60?"
