CCG writes - "I have to say, the original game was a fond cornerstone of my childhood, and this remake brought back some very fond memories. I cannot recommend this game any higher, it is worth its purchase price and remains a lovable classic. Morally, it's suitable for almost any age and nothing I'd be afraid to get a child as a gift. "
Super Mario RPG official soundtrack release now confirmed with three different versions to choose from.
VGChartz's Stephen LaGioia: "Being a polished remake of an already delightful experience, Super Mario RPG is a can’t-miss offering for veterans and newcomers alike. RPG newbies should appreciate the smoothing of its rougher edges, while returning players will no doubt like the added battle features which add some depth. The remake impresses most in terms of a spruced-up presentation and (relatively) more involved combat dynamics, but still adheres closely to traits that made the original so appealing.
Some refinements and QoL improvements give the game a sensibility more bound to the current decade, but the pacing and linearity can still feel very ‘90s in some ways — for better and worse. While feeling more “evolutionary” instead of “revolutionary” overall, this enriching Mario journey is still as memorable as ever, and makes a terrific swan song for the Switch."
NoobFeed Editor Jay Claassen writes - Super Mario RPG is one of the few remakes that can practically speak for itself; it’ll get hold of you and somehow keep you going for the sake of finding the next part of the story. It’s a well-done remake in just about every sense, from the environments to the different enemies, while maintaining that infamous Mario silliness through it all.
