Bravo.It’s next to impossible for most mortals to collect every Mario game, but Nintendo has made it easy for fans to put together a pretty impressive selection of Mario titles on Nintendo Switch. And with the remake’s November 17th release mere months away, I can experience it all over again.īy the way, first video game trailer to ever bring me to tears.
Honestly, I could go on and on about how much I love Super Mario RPG. Oh, and the music kicks all of the ass! No ass goes un-kicked by Super Mario RPG’s amazing soundtrack. Not satisfied there, Super Mario RPG is also something of a variety show, with various mini-games interspersed throughout the adventure to keep everything fresh until the very end. Adopting the turn-based battle system Square was known for at the time, Super Mario RPG made the genre far more interactive with “action commands,” timed inputs by the player during moves to make Mario and friends’ attacks stronger and boosting their defense against enemy moves. Thankfully, the bountiful charm of Super Mario RPG’s story was married to a masterpiece in game design. And well, now they finally have!īut a story wouldn’t mean much to a video game if the game itself weren’t any good. And though Mallow and Geno wouldn’t appear in another game aside from the odd cameo, they were so beloved that fans still clamor to see them return (damn you, Super Smash Bros!).
SUPER MARIO RPG 2 SWITCH MOVIE
Movie for depicting Bowser as an insecure bully with a sensitive side, it was actually Super Mario RPG that fleshed out that personality for Bowser first. But Super Mario RPG developed Peach into a more independent character, and for all the (deserved) credit we give to the recent Super Mario Bros. Mario was his usual charming self, of course. The trio would also be joined by original characters Mallow, a cute cloud who thinks he’s a tadpole (how charming) and Geno, a star spirit inhabiting the body of a doll on a mission to repair the damage Smithy has done to the cosmos. The giant sword turns out to be a servant to a being known as Smithy, an evil blacksmith whose army of weapon monsters prove to be such a threat that, for the first time in history, Bowser teamed up with Mario and Peach to stop their invasion.
Though it begins as it usually does – with Bowser kidnapping Princess Peach and Mario setting off to rescue her – things quickly go awry when a giant sword plunges into Bowser’s castle, sending the classic Mario trio to different regions of the Mushroom Kingdom.
SUPER MARIO RPG 2 SWITCH SERIES
Although there’s no word yet on if Square is helping with the remake or not, the game looks like a faithful adaptation of the SNES masterpiece (which makes me believe Square isn’t involved… which may be for the best, given their recent track record).įor those unfamiliar, Super Mario RPG was the first Role-Playing Game in the Super Mario series (it would eventually inspire the Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi series of Mario games), and for the first time, gave the Super Mario universe a richer story and more depth to the characters. Super Mario RPG was a joint venture between Nintendo and Square-Enix (known as Squaresoft back in 1996), the creators of Final Fantasy. And although there are a small handful of others which I hold in similar esteem (such as Donkey Kong Country 2, Portal 2, and Super Mario Odyssey), the fact that Super Mario RPG is my go-to response definitely says a lot, especially when you’ve played as many games as I have for as long as I have. Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars is the game I usually point to when someone asks me to name my all-time favorite video game. Wonder and that mystery Princess Peach game all look especially incredible. And that’s with all due respect to the other games shown off in today’s Nintendo Direct. Frankly, every other game on the horizon just lost a lot of their luster.
