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

I think it’s Square developing, Nintendo supervising/ collaborating to make sure the updates models are on brand.

 

[Max_Po]

Is this SNES remake ?

 

[Nautilus]

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

If this does well Nintendo will probably treat it as the Mario RPG franchise going foward.

 

[Imtjnotu]

ALL MY 90S KIDS REJOICE!

 

[Nautilus]

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.

That's my hope as well. Its largely faithful, but greatly expanded in terms of content. For example, I don't remember that % in the left corner of the screen. Maybe they tweaked the combat system?

 

[Irobot82]

Legend of the Seven Stars is the BEEEEST Mario RPG of all time.

I love this game so much.

Hope that's the case. You have a source?

 

[Nautilus]

Yep.

 

[SCB3]

Ugh, the timing! I was literally about to play through the original this month as it never came out in the UK and never had to the chance to play it

Might as well wait now

 

[Kataploom]

This game graphics remind be the old magazines high res art of the game, looks amazing to me

Oh my God you're in for a treat. I wish I could experience it again for the first time.

 

[RayHell]

SquareEnix, take notes on how to do proper remake.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Sweet

Hopefully the hallmark elements that make it “feel” like Mario RPG are left intact. The timing and movement, etc. Expanded scope would be amazing, too.

I beat it in one Nighy, as a 10 year old. It's probably only about 10 hours or so.

It's a good game, but too short. I agree, I hope they flesh it out more.

At the end of the trailer it said Nintendo/ Square Enix. Not sure if that was referencing the original or not, maybe both?

I’m also assuming based on how Nintendo typically does games when they have a third-party work with their IP.

 

[Gone]

We need Switch 2 as soon as possible.

If I remember right some of the Characters are Square creations (I think Geno is for example) so that would explain it

 

[jshackles]

I need them to affirm that this will have a physical release. I mean, I'll buy it digitally if I have to, but I'd love a real copy of this game.

 

[saintjules]

Definitely happy to see this!

 

[MAtgS]

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

It was a DS game. And BC on 3DS. And I think it was on Wii U VC.

 

[kondorBonk]

As much as I prefer the old aesthetic, there is not denying this looks fantastic. New players are in for a treat.

 

[SegaShack]

Can't wait!

Is Square making this or Nintendo? Is the same composer returning? I know she also does Kingdom Hearts.

 

[Sleepwalker]

Ive come around, i love mario & luigi and this will scratch that itch but I still need TTYD ninty

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

It’s their black Friday holiday game, it’s got a huge following, and it’s a Mario game. There is no question at all it will be physical release.

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

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 was the one on the DS at least. But this is Toadstool.

 

[crazyjah2003]

Jeez, every time I remember the Prince of Cloud my heart skips a beat.... Not sure Ill play since it seems a little too one to one for me... But I can't fail my day one Husbando.

It will

Oh yes, didn't know, yet the game was barely known imo, didn't even know it existed until relatively recently and have no way to play it.

 

[K' Dash]

Now we definitely have a good Square game this year.

 

[Pasta la Vista]

The art direction is gross. Well at least the vastly superior original is still widely available to play.

 

[64bitmodels]

It literally is just the original but cleaner and 3D. What differences are you seeing?

 

[jcorb]

This honestly looks incredible. I would have NEVER believed this game would ever get a remake. I'm also thrilled they kept closer to the original designs (for the most part).

I'd probably say the Boss theme sounded less intense than I remember, and I do feel like I'd appreciate if Bowser were a bit closer to the original's 3D renders, but I'm absolutely pre-ordering the second it goes live.

I honestly just hope they might add some additional content. Maybe flesh out Yoshi's Isle a bit more, and make him a fully-playable addition to your party? Or honestly, maybe a "New Game+" mode would be cool, cranking up the difficulty.

Or actually, a "Luigi mode" could be super cool, like having a slightly remixed story where maybe Luigi is following Mario's adventure just slightly after? Generally following the same story, but characters referencing "you look an awful lot like that guy who just came through here".

That could be a lot of fun, and just playing around with slightly different abilities (ie. maybe Luigi is joined by Kamek and Yoshi, maybe even Booster and Dodo to round out it out?)

Like I said though, I'm pre-ordering either way! I honestly can't wait!

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

OMG I cannot believe it!!!

One of the Best games that i ever play in my life as child!

 

[SegaShack]

The art direction is gross. Well at least the vastly superior original is still widely available to play.

Besides them modernizing the main mario cast the rest looks identical.

 

[Shut0wen]

nintendo games look more and more the same. sad.

How? You cant even compare this to wonder or obysessey lmao

i wish i could be this excited for the remake

 

[Hollowpoint5557]

Those sons of bitches. I've been able to resist buying a Switch for its entire existence, and Metroid Prime almost got me, but now I am pushed past the tipping point and will have to invest in one because I got to have this game in my life.

 

[PontiusFeeb]

I just played the original for the first time on my Super NES Mini not that long ago, and I don't remember thinking anything needed improving. It was pretty perfect as it was.

 

[Platinumstorm]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

 

[dark_chris]

Beyond super excited for this!

 

[Icymanipulator]

Easily the best SM RPG game, glad to see it getting new life. Wonder if they will add anything.
That beetle shooting gameboy mini game better be in

 

[amigastar]

Is Super Mario RPG really that good or is it just nostalgia?

 

[64bitmodels]

Is Super Mario RPG really that good or is it just nostalgia?

honestly for me it's the latter. The gameplay and overworld traversal feel outdated to what would come later on. The world and characters look really cool but i simply can't get over that.

When i enter a Mario RPG i expect unique gameplay concepts and fun ideas, Mario RPG just feels like a square RPG, but it has mario and a bit of platforming on the overworld.

 

[Deerock71]

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

That's what they said about that billion dollar movie, too. It'll go hand in hand with the bluray of the movie.

 

[UltimaKilo]

If this does well Nintendo will probably treat it as the Mario RPG franchise going foward.

Maybe. Hand it over to Monolith.

 

[IAmRei]

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

it's also itch me as well

 

[Mischief Maker]

I hope they continue to make more games in this style/series. Do you folks think this will get a proper retail physical release?
