I’m actually shocked this is happening

I am too! Given that this game hardly ever gets mentioned, I never even thought that a remake could happen!

Somebody in a different thread said they would love a SMRPG remake and I almost replied “never gonna happen.” Well…holy shit.

I’m so freaking stoked for this. I’ve been wanting to replay the original but I think I’ll just wait for this!

I’m stoked it seems the fighting system will be exactly the same, or turn based anyway.

At last, and it looks so GOOD!! Can’t wait!!

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!

Was not expecting this. It’s a welcome surprise for sure. 😊

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.

One of my all time favorites! So glad to see this!

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!

thats pretty cool i never played the original, my steamdeck is ready!

Personally, I think the new art looks incredible! It manages to stay true to the original style of the SNES release, but looks modern and can show off a ton of personality. As long as the gameplay is still great, and I’m not sure why it wouldn’t be, I think there is plenty of space for both releases to coexist.

Plus considering Nintendo added Link’s Awakening DX on NSO despite the Switch remake having already been released, it seems like they think so too.

Why is everyone getting downvoted in the comments?

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.

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.

This is awesome. I do wish they gave it a paper mario aesthetic. That would have been very interesting to me.
