You know what would be even cooler than the Super Mario RPG remake? If the original was within the remake. The original games being playable within their remakes is such a rare occurrence (like I only know 3 games that do this) and Nintendo has only done it once with Metroid Zero Mission.

Read moreYou know what would be even cooler than the Super Mario RPG remake? If the original was within the remake. The original games being playable within their remakes is such a rare occurrence (like I only know 3 games that do this) and Nintendo has only done it once with Metroid Zero Mission. This is the PERFECT game to do this practice given the small size of SNES games.

What a fun classic Squaresoft RPG. I haven't yet played Thousand year door, but I've played my fair share of the Mario & Luigi games and the other Paper Marios... Gotta say, despite this one being the first, and way older, it's so far the best one. I love Superstar Saga, but the full party of fun characters edges it …
What a fun classic Squaresoft RPG. I haven't yet played Thousand year door, but I've played my fair share of the Mario & Luigi games and the other Paper Marios... Gotta say, despite this one being the first, and way older, it's so far the best one. I love Superstar Saga, but the full party of fun characters edges it out a bit.
I know Nintendo will never make another full on turn based RPG, but... Dang, I wish they let someone else make it. I don't get the logic behind them being too slow or archaic for modern audiences, everyone still loves leveling up in Pokemon, and games like Ikenfell and Bug Fables prove there is people craving them... But maybe that's just it, and we have to support other IPs, forget about Mario ever leveling up and learning spells with equipment shops. RIP Geno and Mallow, who could've made for great additions to the full Mario canon.
Maybe that way they would be in Mario Kart 8 instead of Baby Rosalina and Pink Gold Peach.

Make a platformer character an RPG? No way, that would never work. Hey, it totally works. This game is awesome. I don't think it's a masterpiece, but it has so much charm, a great soundtrack, and an involved combat system.

Another game I would've spent countless time on it when I was a kid ! Unfortunately, it has flaws such as the difficulty is too easy, no real challenge and no real compelling rpg features. Though, it has an original story, charismatic characters, humour and pretty easy to dive in ! I would recommend this one to anyone that didn't experience what an RPG game could look like.

Sometimes you just want a comfort game with great music and story. Just got though Yoster Island

I own the cartridge and beat the game back in the 90s. I only played it once and barely remember anything about it. I may have used a guide to make sure I found all secrets. While it is a good game it is nothing spectacular for me and holds little, if any, nostalgia. I believe it was a little …

While it is a good game it is nothing spectacular for me and holds little, if any, nostalgia. I believe it was a little too simplistic for my tastes with too much silly content, platforming and mini games.

If you haven't played this game, please give it a shot! It's refreshing playing a JRPG with such a brisk pace. It's also really accessible to non-JRPG players, too!

Last I saw there were like MAD Shy Guys bouncing around the Mushroom Kingdom. What's all that about? Also Mallow isn't a frog and I think Frogfucius should get a paternity test to see who's responsible for this cauliflower lightning bolt monstrosity

Legend of the Seven Stars is way harder than people say it is, and the final boss is nothing to shake a stick at.
