[Celcius]

YESSSSS
Day one. I guess I'm not done with my Switch after all!

 

[boomcrab]

Not sure how I feel about that art style choice but regardless I'll be there day one lol

 

[Sleepwalker]

Booo where is thousand year door

 

[splattered]

OMG THIS LOOKS SO CUTE!

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Looks a bit... Soulless compared to the sprites but I'll still give it a go.

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

Day one. Into my veins.

 

[nikos]

Day one even if I'm not a huge fan of turn based combat anymore.

You can’t remake Super Mario RPG, and then change the nature of the combat system. Lol

Might as well just not do it

 

[cash_longfellow]

Y’all fuckers gonna make me buy a Switch….ugh lol

Edit - disregard, I thought this was a new entry and not a remake….nothing to see here, same old Nintendo.

 

[Comandr]

I am fucking floored.

 

[Kataploom]

Day one to me, I told my wife ages ago I'd like a Peach game since the character has lots of unveiled potential

There's been a Peach game.

 

[Sophist]

nintendo games look more and more the same. sad.

 

[Kataploom]

There's been a Peach game.

On GBA, I meant something new, I didn't have GBA at the time

 

[Sethbacca]

Switch going out with mic drop

Joke's on you, we're still gonna be waiting on the Switch 2 a decade from now.

 

[ClosBSAS]

day fucking one man. one of the geratest rpgs ever made.

 

[poodaddy]

This is bought as fuck. Jesus Christ hype overload.

 

[64bitmodels]

looks very faithful to the original. Good for the fans who enjoyed it but not much for me who wanted to see an overhaul and reimagining of the game

 

[a multicultural team of v]

When I heard the rumors I was thinking shit, I am going to have to get a Switch to play this. But now after seeing it, honestly it looks so similar I'm not sure if there is much of a point of playing it vs the original.

 

[diffusionx]

Really smart to release this after the movie. I like and dislike the art style, but at least a new generation can enjoy it.

 

[64bitmodels]

Do realize that you'll be sold this at 60-70 dollars... The game looks nearly identical to the original with better, 3D graphics. Is this really worth it?

Would've been more excited for a sequel

For the jihad of Super Mario RPG, even death is not too high a price!

 

[WhiteWaterM00se]

Best announcement of the Direct. Honestly.

 

[envyzeal]

Please don't change thread's title

 

[MagnesD3]

I think Geno is gonna be in the next Smash Ultimate Port lol

 

[NanaMiku]

Pretty surprised with this announcement.

 

[delfrickintree]

I prefer remakes that stay more true to the original. This game is a classic and should not be twisted into a version far removed from its essence. I approve, however the style seems very generic, they could have given it SOME unique character. Music is excellent as well.

 

[Thaedolus]

omg it’s perfect

 

[jshackles]

OPs photos don't match the announced game. But still, I'm down for a good Mario RPG remake.

It depends for me, I have no real reason to replay it if it's the same if there isn't something terribly wrong about the original. I'd rather they add new content at the very least as incentive but it existing as a way to make room for maybe a sequel one day makes it worth existing imo.

 

[LordCBH]

DAY FUCKING ONE BABY!

 

[Scotty W]

Hopefully this is meant to hype a sequel

 

[RNG]

Omfg the mad lads did it.

I really hope this sells well so they can make a sequel down the line. So many good games coming out this year.

 

[MidGenRefresh]

Yay, another remake!!!

 

[64bitmodels]

I prefer remakes that stay more true to the original.

I feel like the remake shouldn't stay so true to the original to the point where it's still fucking isometric

Like come on, Nintendo's gonna be releasing a game with depth perception problems in 2023. They could've at least given us a fully controllable camera lol

 

[Knightime_X]

This looks amazing!
What is it with these polarizing comments.
Some of you can't be saved at all.

 

[Brock2621]

OH MY GOSH MY CHILDHOOD! INSTA-BUY!!

 

[Gambit2483]

Never thought I'd see this day!

 

[Solrac]

Well, finally some may listen to this classic theme

 

[FunkMiller]

The only day one purchase from that Direct for me.

 

[Kacho]

All in baby. Thank you Nintendo. Thank you.

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

Really hoping they add some content in to flesh the game out a bit. It’s not very long for a SNES jrpg, if I recall.

Also, it’s odd how they aren’t using the original’s subtitle. I almost wonder if the intention is to make iterative sequels after this one, like a reboot of Mario RPGs. To satisfy Paper Mario fans who’ve been starved for something good since 2005, and acknowledgement that the Mario & Luigi series is dead after Alphadream went under in 2019.

 

[Gambit2483]

Well, finally some may listen to this classic theme

I'll see you and raise

 

[Krathoon]

It is pretty amazing. I makes me wonder if they still had the 3D models from making the original.

 

[Nautilus]

If Mario and Luigi RPG died so that we would have Super Mario RPG(and eventually a sequel) back, I'm more than fine.

This looks really good.

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

It is pretty amazing. I makes me wonder if they still had the 3D models from making the original.

It sort of looks like the 3D prints of the game from the original manual/ marketing materials from back in the day.

Really cool they are bringing this back, and sparing no expense.

 

[Nautilus]

Someone knows who's developing this? Is it Square?
