Super Mario RPG - Nintendo Switch (US Version)

This was my first RPG I remember playing back in 1996. It launched my love of turn based role playing games. I think I beat this game a few dozen times on the Super Nintendo when I was 12. I have very fond memories of this game. So when I heard it was being released on the switch I was very excited. I broke one of my cardinal rules of game buying with this. I pre-ordered it. Nintendo rarely has launch issues with games but I still try to avoid pre-ordering games. But I couldn't help myself with this one. The game is excellent. They upgraded the graphics which may have taken away some of the charm of the original but I think it looks great. They even kept in the 2d OG mario Easter Egg in Boosters Tower, and pixelated Culex boss. The game play was exactly as I remembered it and still a joy to play. Nintendo made a few quality of life improvements to the game. First they created a Breezy mode which makes the game just a bit easier. It lifts the item cap, makes the timed attack window larger and more forgiving, and makes the enemies easier (I have my 6 year old playing on this setting). Other QOL improvements include adding an icon to help with timed attacks. A chest in Mario's house to carry extra items where in the original they would just be lost. The game now auto saves pretty frequently (usually as you enter a new area), so you don't have to search out a save location. They also added a upgrade to the signal ring that makes it easier to find hidden treasures, that can be acquired later in the game. They also added post game play, making the bosses more challenging and adding new weapons and gear. Most of the online reviews to this game forget it's an introductory RPG meant for children. They nitpick and complain about the lack of challenge. Super Mario RPG is a fantastic game that will take around 13 hours to beat, but it's a great 13 hours. If you played this game in the 90s get it. If you have a child and are looking to get them a forgiving turn based RPG to learn, get this game. If you are looking for 13 hours of fun without the grind of games like Final Fantasy, get this game. If you want a challenging grueling slog that will take hours off your life and leave you angry most of the time, get Dark Souls.

The developers of this game knew exactly what it would take to please the fans of this game. Simply put, this game is the best remake that I have played in the past couple of years. It has so much love poured into it, every detail that I expected to be here from the original game is here- and additional content. I was incredibly scared that the hype for this game was going to end up causing it to be a bad game, but that is not the case. This is a fantastic game that caters to both fans of the original game and those who are wanting to get into RPGs. I have seen several 1 star reviews, and to be completely honest those reviews seemed to have come from those who have never played an RPG before and expected simply another Mario game coming into this. I can't think of anything that this game doesn't improve upon from the original game. The RPG mechanics are engaging, even difficult at times with having the player time certain actions within battles to drastically change the gameplay. However, it does a fantastic job with the ! indicators telling the player when to properly time their button presses. The story is of course a remake of the original title on the SNES, however I believe that its humor still stands today. I can't really say many games today make me laugh the way they intended or at least without a slight awkward feeling at a forced joke, but this game actually makes me smile more often than not. This game has some seriously funny moments, and the modernized visuals make scenes much more entertaining. The only negative element I can even come up with for this game is the slight frame drops when the scene gets too intense with effects and too many models. Aside from that, the game runs at seemingly a solid 60 fps, with 30 fps for the cutscenes. Aside from the random moments of lag, the game is beautiful and runs fantastic. I without a doubt recommend this game.

Historia encantadora con personajes memorables. Sistema de combate innovador y adictivo. Gráficos y música impresionantes aún después de tanto tiempo. Jugabilidad perfectamente equilibrada entre exploración y batallas. La colaboración entre dos gigantes del gaming dio como resultado un juego que combina la magia de Mario con la profundidad de los RPG de Square. Una experiencia inolvidable que sigue siendo relevante hoy en día. Si eres fanático de los RPG, Mario o simplemente buscas un juego clásico emocionante, Super Mario RPG es una obligación. ¡Disfruta este viaje épico!

The cartridge for the game was corrupt and did not work beyond a certain point. The game was stuck and did not work even after multiple trials. Waste of money. The vendor did not respond to the complaint. Do not recommend buying from the vendor.

Exactly as advertised, I loved this game as a kid and the remake graphics are insane!

Never played the SNES version, so it is a great and refreshing experience!
