Why the Mario RPG Remake is a BIG Deal

Dude I'm so stoked for this game. It's easily a top 5 RPG of all time for me. It was one of the first RPG's to resonate with me as a kid and playing it as an adult I got to appreciate how charming it is and it was still just as fun even though it is as simple as an RPG can be. Hopefully now that they have these assets and engine they might do something else with them.

I haven't played much of Super Mario RPG because RPGs are usually 1,000-plus hour-long but what I have played of it I really enjoyed I'm excited as heck for the remake. all I played was what half an hour of the game I haven't played much RPGs and the only RPGs I played in my life so far is like I said Mario RPG and what I think it's called Breath of Fire 1 and 2 I played like 2 seconds of Chrono Trigger and immediately got lost I have not completed any of those games. I have not even played any Final Fantasy game not even the remakes so yeah I really believe you when you say Mario RPG is a outstanding game I don't get why people say this game is too short even though it's 50 hours long or something I can't wait to play this remake no I'm serious I can't. also I cannot wait for my man fat Yoshi to return in the remake and also Bowser and booster kissing Mario that is going to be golden

And this, THIS is how you explain why the remake is such a big deal to us SMRPG players!!

i mean square wasnt doing too hot i think not that long ago and they sell off there American side so is not too out of possibility that they might of caved in and sell the rigths

The possibilities are endless with this remake. Thanks for the video.

Listen - some of the attacks and when your supposed to press the button are so detached from when it looks like and sounds like your supposed to press the button that you might as well be randomly pressing it to see when you should be pressing it - even if it only appears once, letting there be a visual indication for these that you know is the indiction is a good thing

This being said it appearing until you roughly know what you are doing is probably also a good thing

If they leave the ! that appears, the game is going to be a joke in difficulty, but they should make it so you can enable it or disable it or make it so it appears if you put it in easy just saying. I know there was no difficulty selector, but at least make it so you can turn it off.

There's a thing with Culex... The Japanese version. Culex is kind of a joke where he is the supreme being from the 2D dimension as the prerendered characters are considered "3D" and that's kind of the joke that he's not powerful enough because he's flat. More or less... Now I don't know how they'll handle that... If they're going to make it as it is in the Japanese version and make him a flat texture or change him or go with the English script

the REAL question is whether or not you'll turn into classic NES Mario when you go behind the curtain or turn into the SNES Mario RPG version. I think that would be hilarious to turn into SNES Mario and would be a fun nod to the original joke

Im gonna get it just in the hopes we finally get a sequel for it

I am TOTALLY buying this

I never expected to but a ninte do switch, cuz I dont really have the money to waste as a responsible adult. But the need for this game to be a economica sucess worldwide make it imperative of me to but the console and our beloved remake. ❤

Wow that Mario fan game you showed about the 7 queens looks REAL interesting!! Did you ever finish it? Is it available??

They could make the timing being shown toggleable to allow people to choose.

On a side note, your rom hack idea and sprites are amazing! I'd play it in a heartbeat! Please tell me you haven't scrapped it 😭🙏

remakes is because so much crap is released now the stuff that was super good (if they stick to the story and keep 100% true to the original) is far better than stuff now. mario rpg is a game that 20 years later i still remember playing it as a small kid and was sad when i beat it because of how good it was. (kotor 1 being another, dude that story at 13 was like being dumped and kicked in the balls the same day. it was good to where you remember it the rest of your life)

XELUC has been my tag

I prefer “reboots” over remakes… like I hope the new Super Mario RPG is made with gameplay improvements and a good amount of new content.

Hey man, this was pretty great. You must be around my age. I hope we get a true SMRPG 2.

I like remakes and remasters because I want to play those old games, and a lot of these games aren’t available, and porting doesn’t always work that well.

If it does well, which it will.. then I really hope they make a sequel. Not another paper mario game

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion whether people disagree or not. Here is mine. I am a huge fan of Super Mario RPG and I believe it was necessary for a remake to capture the old and new fans. Especially since the Switch is nearing its end and moving on to the next big Nintendo console. I always said that this game is a treasure between Square and Nintendo that has been locked away for over 20 years and a sequel with Mario Odyssey graphics would be insane for both companies and the fans. When Paper Mario was announced for the N64 I always thought it would have been better to release a sequel for Mario RPG despite the success. Yoko Shimomura to make music for the sequel, bring Mario’s gang back for it including Bowser and new ones, cameos from other Square games, and continue with turn base. This would be Mario’s pinnacle RPG game. Again, my strong opinion. Who knows…maybe this is there plan with the remake of Super Mario RPG. Will see what the sales are on this.

Remember playing the SNES version back in the 90s. It was a rental from a grocery store (imagine that still being a thing) so I had like five days tops before having to give it up, but I have fond memories of playing it, and I regret that the 64 immediately abolished popular memory of it and the SNES in general. Absolutely glad this is a second chance and I'll pre-order shortly.

I feel reMAKES when done correctly, like recent Resident Evils, we benefit more from them. The experience is different, we get a better bang for our buck, etc. Ports and reMASTERS feel like the company is just being greedy and lazy and spitting in your face to top it off when re-releasing those. Even when it's $10-20 off. That's just my opinion. Remakes > Ports and/or remasters.

The problem is Nintendo is no longer selling us ports for these old games and not everyone wants a subscription service where half these games are missing anyway.

People beg for remakes then complain when they get them 😂

With the older games on the switch theres a bunch i went back to play and realized a lot didnt age well AT ALL thats why i like the idea of a remake...... only i hope they did the ff7 RE and put more stuff into it just to expand it a bit

I hope this game sells well

I would have preferred Super Mario RPG 2. Like they did with Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity, which was amazing in the music and characters.

this man loves geno, i too am a big fan of geno and never understood why neither him nor mallow ever appeared again. this game was a huge part of my childhood

I'll be 39 in January and I'm super excited for this! I can't wait until the 17th. I already have my roster picked out
