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

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.

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.

This and FF3 on the SNES are what got me into RPGs. I wasn't a Mario fan but played a lot of this.

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

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

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

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

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.

If I recall the single target attack cursor also defaulted to the real deal in the Yaridovich fight

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!

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.

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

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?

Yeah, it feels like they’re going to shove it full of loot boxes and DLC somehow. Luckily that’s not really how Nintendo does things.

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?

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

KingCyrus20 6 points 3 years 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.
