Super Mario RPG (Switch)

Square hat für die SNES ein wirklich detailverliebtes Rollenspiel gezaubert, dass zurecht entstaubt wurde, ohne dabei viel an dem Original zu ändern: Die HD-Texturen, und das leicht überarbeitete Kampfsystem passen Super Mario RPG für die heutige Zeit an und die Post Game-Rematches bieten eine brandneue knackige Herausforderung.

Vergnügliche, schrille Neuauflage des ersten Mario-RPGs, die mangelnden Biss in den Kämpfen mit eimerweise charmantem Unsinn überschüttet und einen der besten Bowser-Auftritte wiederaufleben lässt.

Super Mario RPG is an overtly faithful recreation of the Super Nintendo hit, and this charming adventure has aged quite well.

The game has been tweaked only slightly to add some new mechanics and make the adventure even more welcoming than it already was. The result is an experience that only shows its age slightly and rewards longtime fans and newcomers alike.

There is a lot to love in the Super Mario RPG remake. An adorable art style, deceptively deep combat, an excellent updated soundtrack, and genuinely funny skits and writing all make this game as much of a joy to play as the SNES original.

The game that kicked off Mario's RPG adventures retains its charm in this cheerful remake.

It’s a game that garnered quite a bit of critical and fan acclaim back when it first released in 1996, and the 2023 remake is a loving recreation that will appeal to both longtime fans and newcomers alike. While I wish it could’ve been just a little bit more streamlined, it’s hard to complain too much about a game that just makes you smile and feel good for playing it.
