No way! This is still my favorite Mario RPG i cant believe they’re finally doing something with the series! They’ve always been so reluctant to even acknowledge its existence since it got released
I believe this all boiled down to issues with ownership (SquareEnix / Nintendo). Seems they’ve worked something out, though!
Yeah it was a big and welcome surprise here! Had a running joke that I wasn’t going to live to see anything Super Mario RPG in my lifetime, I guess I did live to see the day!
I’m actually shocked this is happening
I am too! Given that this game hardly ever gets mentioned, I never even thought that a remake could happen!
Somebody in a different thread said they would love a SMRPG remake and I almost replied “never gonna happen.” Well…holy shit.
Me too, I pre-ordered.
No more jiggle physics for Valentina, guess Nintendo vetoed that this time around.
At last, and it looks so GOOD!! Can’t wait!!
Probably my favorite and most played Mario game of all time. Now I see why they never released it on Virtual Console… this is even better. Can’t wait to play it with my daughters who love the Mario franchise!
One of my all time favorites! So glad to see this!
This looks really good! Super Mario RPG was the last game I expected to see be remade!
Why is everyone getting downvoted in the comments?
On here? not possible, the beehaw community this is hosted on has downvotes disabled. Unless you mean on yt which all i can say to that is “its youtube”.
Some instances can still downvote it just wont affect beehaw users but i don’t see the downvotes either so probably someone on lemmy.one cause only notfromhere can see it.
Turns out it was a UI bug in the Memmy app. Everything is working now
everyone else can downvote y’all though lol.
Are you sure? I’m here from lemm.ee and I can downvote comments in this post and it shows their points decrease when I do it
Your client may show it and your instance may collect the locally but once your instances syncs with Beehaw again it will update. At least that’s my understanding - not sure if there is someone with a better understanding about federated instances and how they handle downvotes.
Cannot wait for this. I hope there is a physical version (mentioned only the eshop in Nintendo Direct) but looking forward to replaying one of my SNES favourites.
This looks awesome. I feel like it would be worth $40usd but I’m betting Nintendo will be asking $70usd. For 70, I’ll stick to the SNES.
edit: it’s $60usd
I read somewhere that Nintendo said that they’re not blanket raising their games to $70; that they evaluate on a title by title basis, which is why the new WarioWare is $50 (as is the pikmin collection)
From another post, it looks like it’ll be $60.
I’m happy that they’re polishing this game up for folks that may never have played it. There’s a chance I may buy it after I’ve caught up on other games but I’m just as happy knowing that this exists.
I’m glad it’s a few months release from now because with the ports of Pikmin 1 and 2 this is going to be the summer of Pikmin for me lol
Wow I cant believe it finally happened. Mario RPGs fans have been vocally craving more since Paper Mario. A remake isnt technically more but it’s cool to see this game finally get official recognition again and bring in new fans who can fuel the flames of ADD GENOS TO SMASH discourse
Was not expecting this. It’s a welcome surprise for sure. 😊
