Nintendo

I'll probably skip Super Mario RPG, unless they pull a FF7.

I played the whole of the original, and it was fantastic.

That said, I think the target audience is folks that missed RPG the first time and want to experience it withv some rough edges sanded off. For that, I think it will be fantastic, again.

It isn’t on Switch online. Only emulation, snes classic, and now defunct virtual consoles had it.

It’s great that it got a proper remake, and it’s great that Nintendo made a new 2D Mario as well.

I have played Mario RPG a few times in my life, including once within the past couple of years. The remake looks like a straight remaster with updated graphics, so I don't really have any desire to play it again, especially if it means paying $60 or whatever it will cost. But I think this game isn't really aimed at me. There are a lot of people who never played the original, including lots of young kids who weren't around when it came out. I think that is the main audience for this remake. And for them, I think this will be an exciting release, because the game is still awesome.

It looks very old now. I think the game is still great, but those pre-rendered graphics…I’m happy for it. That said, I’m more excited for Wonder as it looks more fresh.

nah actually more excited for mario RPG, if only for the amazing remade music

I am very excited for both games, but the visual style of Super Mario Wonder looks stunning, I'm really glad they innovated with the visuals. We've been having the same plain looking 3d models for a while now and this is like a breath of fresh air.

I played a lot of SMRPG as a child and the remake looks so faithful and beautiful so I'm definitely more excited by that. But my wife did not, and she loves side scrolling Mario, so she's more excited for Wonder. Looks like we'll be getting both.

I'm excited for both, but I'm more excited about Wonder as well. I love 2D Mario games, and I was able to enjoy NSMBWii and NSMBU just fine; however, finishing U made me not want another standard 2D Mario game unless they were going to innovate like Rayman did with Origins/Legends or even Donkey Kong did with Returns/Tropical Freeze.

The new trailer showed off so many features that are brand-new, and I can't wait to get my hands on it. I could be wrong, but it also felt a lot like the reveal of 3D World where the first trailer was fine, but the second was bonkers and made it go from looking good to amazing.

Why not both?

Since RPG wasn't released in Europe, I didn't get to play it until I've already played and loved Paper Mario, so to me it was always just a less interesting version of that. I'm happy to see the 'forbidden game' come out of its black hole in a big way, but my interest is minimal.

As someone who has never played Super Mario RPG, I am excited for it because I struggle to get into games with dated graphics - so the old version will be tough for me to get into. But similarly, Wonder seems super psychedelic and cool and such a new thing, so probably more excited for it.

I pretty much agree, maybe if they'd managed to somehow capture the weird feel of Mario RPG's prerendered sprites in real time it would have impressed me more? Not sure, but it definitely looked more generic than the original game in terms of graphical style. Plus I'm just not that excited to play it again for some reason, even though I loved the original.

However, Super Mario Wonder looked so creative, the surrealism drew me in and it seems like the perfect direction to take 2D Mario in. It's the one game in that Direct that I saw and was like "I need to play this".

I've never played the original Mario RPG, so kinda excited to try it finally.

I just hope Super Mario Wonder doesn't feel too gimmicky, and that it has varied gameplay and mechanics.

I'm excited to see everything they do with the remake, mainly the music, but I'm also more excited for Wonder. It looks like a much needed breath of fresh air for 2D Mario.

I've seen like 3 reaction YouTubers pretty much groan when they first saw the Mario Bros trailer. That's really stupid if that's the concensus, because it looks really creative and cool. If more Mario Bros games are like that I'm all for it.
