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.
Me too, I pre-ordered.
I am too! Given that this game hardly ever gets mentioned, I never even thought that a remake could happen!
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!
One of my all time favorites! So glad to see this!
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.
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.
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
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.
Okay hold up, this actually looks fantastic O.o
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!

A classic game you can beat over a weekend. I love that it stays true to the squishy, goofy original art. Man that boss theme is so nostalgic, the whole OST is a bop.
Can it really be beaten over a weekend? I might give the original a shot before getting into the remake.
I’ve played it a few times casually, but last full playthrough I did I think my play time was 20 hours or so. So maybe a long weekend, but yeah its a short game. It doesn’t waste your time and keeps things fresh and moving pretty quick. No grinding, no resource time gating, a straight no frills experience. Just run around and fight monsters for levels. If you’ve never played it before, really take in the OST, it is 10/10. Especially if you’re a fan of the music from that console era.
The story is cute, and has some good jokes. Its just a solid game, and great to chill to. Unless you go out of your way for secret bosses, the main story is fairly easy as well.
I do love SNES music. Particularly Chrono Trigger. I’ve been playing more retro games since I got the steam deck.
No more jiggle physics for Valentina, guess Nintendo vetoed that this time around.
