What Other Critics Are Saying About the New Version of Super Mario RPG

IGN: “Super Mario RPG has managed to strike a perfect balance between faithfully recreating one of my favorite games and making improvements where it counts.”

My Nintendo News: “I can confidently say that this is shaping up to be an incredible way to experience the game, whether you’re a veteran of the original SNES title or it’s your first time delving into Mario’s first RPG. The game has clearly received several quality of life improvements to make it more accessible, but the inclusion of the original soundtrack also shows that Nintendo wants to provide a nostalgic experience for returning players.”

Press-Start: “This is undoubtedly the ultimate way to play Super Mario RPG. The improvements may be subtle, but they have a significant impact, and the visual style remains as strong as ever.”

TechRadar: “If there’s one thing that classic turn-based RPGs can sometimes struggle with, it’s repetitive and unengaging combat. However, players won’t have to worry about these issues in Nintendo’s upcoming Switch remake of Super Mario RPG.”

ComingSoon.Net: “It appears that Nintendo has hit the mark with the Super Mario RPG remake. Whether you’ve played the SNES original multiple times or you’re experiencing it for the first time, the updated Switch version is a must-play for RPG fans. With even more charm than before and smart updates to keep it feeling fresh, this remake delivers everything you could want.”
