Super Mario RPG is releasing for Nintendo Switch on November 17, 2023! Looks like a full remake in 3d with an updated soundtrack. Though the original still ages well and looks great when played on modern emulation, I’m excited to see this as a full remake!
Wow, one of my favorite games as a kid. I even just started to replay it recently, guess I’ll put a pause on that lol.
Looks like they are also making some changes to the battle system which is great, the graphics held up ok like you said, but I feel like the combat is actually the part that aged the worst.
What was the issue with the battle system? I always thought timed hits were a great idea to make turn based battles less tedious, and mapping action menus to the four buttons worked well. I guess the encounter rate might be a bit high compared to modern RPGs, and it would be nice to be able to pin attacks to the top of the menus.
