Nintendo is remaking Super Mario RPG



Nintendo is reviving the very first Mario RPG. In a style very reminiscent of the original, Nintendo is giving Super Mario RPG a full remake, with a trailer that shows off beloved moments from the game with a fresh new look. Mario, Peach, Bowser, and yes, Geno, are back. The game launches on November 17, 2023.

I was talking about FF7R.
Well that is a remake and not a remaster, but fair enough. I can see how some people would dislike it, but I was ready for something completely new after being surrounded by the original FF7's marketing blitz and spinoffs for like a decade plus. Was solid and entertaining enough for what it is IMO, but I do hate that they're releasing the whole package in three segments.

Why buy a game anyone who pays for Nintendo Online service can already play legally? People usually don't buy the same game twice, that's why the remake of that DS game flopped, you can play DS games on the 3DS.
Total Switch sales 126 million

Total users with Nintendo Online 36 million

So if nobody with Online buys it then Nintendo still have a potential of 96 million sales.

I think the game will do just fine.

Yeah this is gonna sell like crazy, but I kind of wish it wouldn't. Nintendo needs to start pricing their games more competitively, and this is a $45 remaster if I've ever seen one (especially with no physical release). Meanwhile they're also charging $50 for WarioWare when it should be $40 at most.

Metroid Prime was remastered and dropped at 40.
But this is not a remaster. It's a remake. Will probably drop at full price, like Mario games do.

Also, considering it's still a partnership between Nintendo and SE, like seen in the end of the trailer, pricing won't probably lower.

But considering the player base, lowering the price a bit will win sales.

Incredibly excited by this. missing the clay look of the original, but I'll adapt. Just hope the humour is properly kept. It'll be interesting to see how much of those Woolsey translations wind up changing things, if at all.

Also, just to throw it out there, here's a how i categorize Re-releasing games, from least amount of work to most amount done:
0) emulated (literally the original, just has a translation/emulator level to make it work. maybe some mods and tweaks)
1) port (straight up port with original game coding, just changes to work natively on a different platform)
2) Updated port (from old console to new console with original game coding + bug fixes and Quality of life fixes)
3) Remaster (from old console to new console with original game coding, but with varying degrees of shiny new/upgraded graphics and gameplay+code fixes/tweaks/QoL)
4) Remake (completely new code, but replicates the original playing experience with QoL tweaks and usually the same graphical style as a base)
5) Re...do? re-imagining? re-take? something. (basically, going back and having a re-do. New code, new story, new gameplay. Tries to keep the "heart" of the original, but is a completely different game to varying degrees)

ff7R is very obviously #5. This is definitely #4, a proper remake, which means full-priced most likely. very excited about the whole thing being remade, though.

Chrono Cross is #0 and I'm still salty about it.

Notably they didnt mention Square Enix or list a developer for the title, So I wonder if Nintendo is doing this in house this time

Although I can definitely see the reasoning behind this title, Rather than try create yet another RPG Mario series after the fall of M&L (</3) They're probably gonna see how this goes and then build off of it, That's my prediction for the long haul

Awesome! Best game ever I played on my SNES. Beautiful new graphic updated over SNES old graphic.

Can't wait to re-play again same game running Yuzu emulator or Ryujinx emulator on my Nvidia RTX 3060. Everyone should be happy gaming on PC forever! ;)

No need Nintendo Switch, because most gaming computers are powerful enough right now. B-)



Edit:

If anyone know new PC name is Another Crusade. That's look similar to Super Mario RPG game is come to PC this year between Fall - Winter on Steam website:

I'm glad Nintendo is actually using different types of art styles for Mario now, feels like it's been almost 15 years since they tried something unique outside of Paper Mario.
