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
Somebody in a different thread said they would love a SMRPG remake and I almost replied “never gonna happen.” Well…holy shit.
I am too! Given that this game hardly ever gets mentioned, I never even thought that a remake could happen!
Me too, I pre-ordered.
At last, and it looks so GOOD!! Can’t wait!!
This looks really good! Super Mario RPG was the last game I expected to see be remade!
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.
One of my all time favorites! So glad to see this!
The proportions are a little off to me but that may be the style.
Can’t believe they’re remaking it though!
Yeah, my first thought was “why does he look like that haha”
Definitely excited to play it though, looks like a fantastic game to occupy me during lunch breaks at work!
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.
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!
I’m stoked it seems the fighting system will be exactly the same, or turn based anyway.
I am all for this. I absolutely cannot wait for it to be released!!! Super Mario RPG was absolutely one of my favorite games as a kid. I’ve been jonesing to pull in back out lately… This will be so much fun!
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.
Turns out it was a UI bug in the Memmy app. Everything is working now
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.
everyone else can downvote y’all though lol.
Personally, I think the new art looks incredible! It manages to stay true to the original style of the SNES release, but looks modern and can show off a ton of personality. As long as the gameplay is still great, and I’m not sure why it wouldn’t be, I think there is plenty of space for both releases to coexist.
Plus considering Nintendo added Link’s Awakening DX on NSO despite the Switch remake having already been released, it seems like they think so too.
No more jiggle physics for Valentina, guess Nintendo vetoed that this time around.
