    No way! This is still my favorite Mario RPG i cant believe they’re finally doing something with the series! They’ve always been so reluctant to even acknowledge its existence since it got released

      I believe this all boiled down to issues with ownership (SquareEnix / Nintendo). Seems they’ve worked something out, though!

      Yeah it was a big and welcome surprise here! Had a running joke that I wasn’t going to live to see anything Super Mario RPG in my lifetime, I guess I did live to see the day!

    Cannot wait for this. I hope there is a physical version (mentioned only the eshop in Nintendo Direct) but looking forward to replaying one of my SNES favourites.

    I’m happy that they’re polishing this game up for folks that may never have played it. There’s a chance I may buy it after I’ve caught up on other games but I’m just as happy knowing that this exists.

    A classic game you can beat over a weekend. I love that it stays true to the squishy, goofy original art. Man that boss theme is so nostalgic, the whole OST is a bop.

        I’ve played it a few times casually, but last full playthrough I did I think my play time was 20 hours or so. So maybe a long weekend, but yeah its a short game. It doesn’t waste your time and keeps things fresh and moving pretty quick. No grinding, no resource time gating, a straight no frills experience. Just run around and fight monsters for levels. If you’ve never played it before, really take in the OST, it is 10/10. Especially if you’re a fan of the music from that console era.

        The story is cute, and has some good jokes. Its just a solid game, and great to chill to. Unless you go out of your way for secret bosses, the main story is fairly easy as well.

    The proportions are a little off to me but that may be the style.

    Can’t believe they’re remaking it though!

      Yeah, my first thought was “why does he look like that haha”

      Definitely excited to play it though, looks like a fantastic game to occupy me during lunch breaks at work!

        Some instances can still downvote it just wont affect beehaw users but i don’t see the downvotes either so probably someone on lemmy.one cause only notfromhere can see it.

        Are you sure? I’m here from lemm.ee and I can downvote comments in this post and it shows their points decrease when I do it

          Your client may show it and your instance may collect the locally but once your instances syncs with Beehaw again it will update. At least that’s my understanding - not sure if there is someone with a better understanding about federated instances and how they handle downvotes.

    This direct was a hit after hit for me. I am excited for nearly every game on the lineup

    This looks awesome. I feel like it would be worth $40usd but I’m betting Nintendo will be asking $70usd. For 70, I’ll stick to the SNES.

    edit: it’s $60usd

      I read somewhere that Nintendo said that they’re not blanket raising their games to $70; that they evaluate on a title by title basis, which is why the new WarioWare is $50 (as is the pikmin collection)
