More excited for Super Mario Wonder than Super Mario RPG
More excited for Super Mario Wonder than Super Mario RPG
Anyone else more excited for Super Mario Bros Wonder then the Super Mario RPG remake? I didn't really think it needed a remake. You can play it everywhere. Pretty sure it's on Nintendo Online and then there is the SNES classic too. The graphical style in which high def models are turned into sprites are just so mid-90's. Replacing those with just generic HD Mario models seem a little lackluster or boring.
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 really thought it was on Switch Online... huh... This explains why it's not. lol
Yeah, I imagine Nintendo contacted Square about licensing it for NSO and someone said, "Why don't we remake it instead and charge $60?"
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.
I never played the original, but it's been on my list since back when I was still playing on emulators... Never got around to get it for Virtual Console either. So I am considering buying the remake once it's released!
I will probably also buy Wonder!
I suspect you'll be happy with the remake.
The trailer is full of perfectly recreated moments from the original game, just with better graphics.
Several moments in the trailer were kind of just saying "Remember this weird but fun thing? It's still here!".
As a fan on the original, the remake trailer looks very good.
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.
I can’t imagine they’re building the game off of the old original Mario RPG, so it’s definitely a remake. Remakes aren’t defined by their changes to gameplay, but by whether they’re built from the ground up or not.
I’d genuinely be blown away if they just remastered the original game after so much time.
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.
I was like that u til I saw the multiplayer aspects near the end. Oh the chaos that will ensue. This is gonna be great.
Why not both?
I'm excited for both! RPG will have the nostalgia factor and maybe some extra QOL stuff or content. Wonder is a totally new game which is exciting. It also looked weird which is a win in my book.
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.
Youtubers are dumb as shit then. It looks so fun and I'm very excited.
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 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'm excited for both, but if I had to pick just one it would be Wonder since it's new.
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.
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.
I honestly don't care for remakes... I'm a fan of remasters when they're done right though. I think Super Mario Bros Wonder looks very creative in gameplay and animation. I think the game may also have weirded people out a bit, and that may be why no one is talking about it. I really hope it succeeds, I feel Nintendo has been lacking creativity recently (that's just my opinion though)
What would you say the difference between a remake and a remaster is? Seem the same to me.
A remake changes little about the original game, only the graphics and sometimes the platform. A remaster enhances some of the weaker points of the game like map design, combat, and many other things. I'll use some examples. In the Halo Master Chief Collection, the only change in the original Halo game was the graphics (you could even switch between the old and new graphics with the tab key) In Black Mesa (a remaster of Half-Life) the game not only improved the graphics, it also improved upon the enemy AI, battlefields (even maps in general), and weapons. It also linked the story closer to Half-Life 2 and entirely re imagined Xen. So it's all really what changes are made.
Mario is fat and small, it's cute & I like it. You can like both of them.
Me! I love the sidescrolling Mario games.
Agreed entirely. I remember RPG fondly! But this remake does not feel up to the same standard set by Link’s Awakening. Yes, because it used pre-rendered 3d pixels there was less distance between any remake and the original, but it still seems lackluster compared to Link’s Awakening.
Wonder, on the other hand, looks like an actual progression after SMB3 and SMW, rather than the party game / throw a bunch of coins at you focus of New SMB games.
I'm excited for both cause I don't think any sane person thought RPG would ever come back and I haven't played it yet.
Daisy alone sells me on Wonder but seeing what looks to be the easy character (Yoshi) being playable for everyone is much better then limiting it to certain character, forcing one player to use them and looks to always have flutter which is much better then a exclusive item and invulnerability doesn't save struggling players from bottomless pits.
SMBWonder looks like a fresh take on 2D mario. Very hyped!
I tend to prefer playing the originals over the remakes, especially on original hardware and a CRT. I'm definately more excited for the trippy quirky new 2d Mario, but I'd be lying if i said i wouldn't eventually pick up the Super Mario RPG HD remake. Just probably not at launch.
As I never played the original, I'm excited to play the remake.
Didn't have a SNES as a kid (had a Genesis), I don't pay for Nintendo's online service and don't have the SNES classic.
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.
For me I am more hyped for SMRPG more because its kind of a known quantity. I love the game and may or may not even pick it up in this form for now, but I'm happy that it will probably be discussed online for a while again.
SMBW looks cool and I am pretty likely to buy and play it sometime, but I am not like super hyped for it and I think I will enjoy it more for not being overhyped on it.
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.
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.
Is it just me, or does Mario's voice sound a little different? Is Charles Martinet retiring?
