    I find it interesting that SE didn't drop a press release for this one.

    Do we know their level of involvement here besides just being copyright holders to some of the designs?
    In any case, this is how you handle a fucking remake. Faithful as hell looking to the original design & sound.
    I don't need this (I still have my original cartridge), but a lot of newer players sure do.

    They pretty much released Links Awakening as is and that was like, a 2 hour long gameboy game from decades ago. I expect they wont add much/anything at all, though It'd be nice to see the minigames improved.

    Regardless of what they do or do not add... Probably be my first game purchase in a long time, I fugging love Super Mario RPG.

    ye from the Diablo IV + Street Fighter 6 releases to the end of the year it's absolutely stacked. FFXVI, Telltale Expanse, Armored Core VI, Baldur's Gate 3, MGS Remaster Collection, Mortal Kombat 1, Cyberpunk expansion, Payday 3, Alan Wake 2, Super Mario RPG Remake, Persona 5 Tactica, Spiderman 2 etc etc

    Hopefully the overwhelming sales from this will communicate to Nintendo that people don't like the odd direction they've been steering Mario rpgs - inexplicably away from full parties with characters of unique classes.

    Does anyone know who made this game? The trailer credits Nintendo and Square-Enix only. Is Intelligent Systems involved?

    Glad they let Shimomura rearrange her own score. Sounds brilliant. This OST was her big breakthrough after the early Capcom successes.

    Peach's character model is super off-putting, and really stood out as the only thing in the trailer that looked totally different from its OG sprite. Wonder how they screwed that up.

    Reminiscent of the Mario movie tbh, but I need to see more of it

    I have been on a kick today on YouTube watching mid 30s and boomers losing their minds over the trailer. The nostalgia bomb be hitting for real.

    Maybe they'll put Geno in Smash now.

    On the real though, I'm stoked because I got my little brother into RPGs with this game.

    Man, this is such a long time coming. I'm overjoyed to see these characters back in HD.

    Knowing Square, they probably pulled together as many people from the original game as they could to work on it.

    Seeing it again a day later, will say, the only thing I'm not sold on is the UI during combat. You got more info located in a smaller space with the original game's layout of your character's health. New one requires your eye to scan the entire bottom 1/6th of your screen. I know they have to make it handheld-friendly to read, but they could surely arrange the elements better than that?

    The original was so simple, I hope they have an option to enable a retro look
