I'm just happy I see this kind of news here in the fediverse and don't have to rely on reddit

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago

Agreed, really love how much more engagement I’m seeing here. What’s cool is how this feels like the first days of Reddit way back in the day. No bots, etc.

Super Mario RPG has my favorite music in the series, so I'm excited to hear it all remastered

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yoko Shimomura, the original composer, is back to work on it!

The forest theme is my favorite!

[–] FarmTaco 20 points 1 year ago

they still have the short stocky mario, this is amazing

[–] sigh 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

wow that looks great, looks modern but faithful to the original art style

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Agreed, I'm so glad the kept the squashed look.

[–] samus12345 20 points 1 year ago

My immediate response was "No fucking way!", followed by "How much?" and "$60?? Dammit, I'm probably going to pay that."

[–] Glemek 18 points 1 year ago

This was the one on the list that I am probably most initially hyped for, I loved this game as a kid!

[–] DrBeerFace 17 points 1 year ago

This is one of my favorite games of all time that I am constantly going back and playing again.

So excited to see this.

[–] Elden_Potato 16 points 1 year ago

oh shit, the best I was ever hoping for was a port to switch SNES. This is awesome!

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Was not expecting this at all!

[–] Palteos 3 points 1 year ago

Neither was I. It's nice to be surprised sometimes.

[–] BenignLarency 14 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Never played Mario RPG, but I'm down to try it! Should be cool!

[–] forevertothesky 5 points 1 year ago

Soon you'll join the rest of us calling for Geno in Smash.

[–] MercuryUprising 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Its really good. Turn based but has a timing thing for attacking and some decently hard fights. Fun story, cool characters, im very surprised tossed it getting remastered.

A favorite of mine from childhood! My first experience with the RPG genre.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Same here! I don't know how many hours I spent unlocking every last secret in that game and there were so, so many.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Geno my boy... I can't wait for the updated soundtrack

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

They actually did it, the absolute madmen. As a kid I rented this over and over from Blockbuster but never finished it. Maybe now I finally will.

[–] StrangeWorrier 10 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I wish it was a sequel instead of a remake but remakes are much easier for a business to justify.

[–] amtwon 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Probably easier to justify a sequel now that they've made a remake though 👀

[–] Ralphensnitch 6 points 1 year ago

It would be an easy low budget seller for them, this might be to check interest since it is a known property.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Interestingly Paper Mario 64 was apparently originally a sequel to SMRPG, there's some super early dev footage that got shown off at an expo that used the name "Super Mario RPG 2" for what was eventually reworked into the first Paper Mario

[–] Domriso 3 points 1 year ago

This is easily the most exciting announcement in the direct. Was not expecting it at all and now I'm extremely excited.

Don't forget:

  • Real Yaridovich doesn't use Meteor Attack or Static E or Bolt

  • Go Left, Left, Straight, Right

  • SO LA MI RE DO RE DO RE

  • P-E-A-R-L-S

  • Rewards for Cricket Jam and for lost wallets are better with age

  • When your items are maxed out, you only get to choose what you want to toss if you aren't in a battle.

This is amazing. I never thought they’d remaster this game. I only knew about this game recently. Heard it was a cult classic that sat outside the mainstream despite being Mario in the 90s.
The original was also made during the peak era of Squaresoft at the time too so just that extra bit of lightning in a bottle this game sounded like.

I’ve played a bit of it on a miyoo mini recently and really dug it. Super happy to see this piece of news!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

I'm so hyped! I love that it still has the 2.5D Perspective.

[–] mekkagodzilla 8 points 1 year ago

I didn't know I wanted this. Pretty hyped for an old school JRPG with modern visuals.

[–] felttrip 7 points 1 year ago

I tried playing the OG version on the SNES virtual console and bounced off of it. I loved the remake of Links Awakening so I've got high hopes for this too.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I am certain these are the end times, because I was sure this was never going to happen.

Like... I'm worried there is a monkey paw out there that curled.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Remember when Spyro Reignited was released and it was frame-for-frame accurate and your muscle memory and auditory cues could just take over?

Do you trust Nintendo to do the same?

I never thought that they'd be able to negotiate a remake. This looks fantastic

[–] Foam3477 6 points 1 year ago

So excited about this! It's a must-buy for me

[–] Sundoen 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

This is one of my top games of all time- so excited!

[–] MattyXarope 5 points 1 year ago

Looks great!

[–] Kronusdark 5 points 1 year ago

Holy shit. Wasn’t expecting this at all.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

Never heard of an Mario RPG before, on what platform was it, N64? (I never had, that's why I might not know about this game) The video confuses me, is everything there the new game or some scenes are out of the old game?

[–] superfiercelink 10 points 1 year ago

It is a full remake of the original Mario rpg that was on the SNES.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Super Mario RPG was a game developed by Square and published by Nintendo on the SNES in 1996. It inspired later Mario RPG series; the first Paper Mario game on the N64 was originally going to be a sequel to it.

The only scene from the original game in this trailer is the beginning shot of Peach. After that, everything is from the remake.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

One of the last snes games iirc.

Those rumors turned out to be true

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Hnnnngh, right in my childhood. Should be a great game for switch in portable mode.

[–] serialtoon 3 points 1 year ago

I am so hyped for this and the new super Mario bros

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Those absolute madlads! they did it!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I always thought Nintendo had forgotten about this game, glad they're bringing it to a new generation of players!

[–] TheFence 2 points 1 year ago

Oh, good times. Too bad this happens after Smash is done releasing DLC characters. Ahh well, hope for the next one! #PutGenoInSmash
