Anyone else more excited for Super Mario Bros Wonder then the Super Mario RPG remake? I didn't really think it needed a remake. You can play it everywhere. Pretty sure it's on Nintendo Online and then there is the SNES classic too. The graphical style in which high def models are turned into sprites are just so mid-90's. Replacing those with just generic HD Mario models seem a little lackluster or boring.

I'll probably skip Super Mario RPG, unless they pull a FF7.

I played the whole of the original, and it was fantastic.

That said, I think the target audience is folks that missed RPG the first time and want to experience it withv some rough edges sanded off. For that, I think it will be fantastic, again.

I never played the original, but it's been on my list since back when I was still playing on emulators... Never got around to get it for Virtual Console either. So I am considering buying the remake once it's released!

I will probably also buy Wonder!

I suspect you'll be happy with the remake.

The trailer is full of perfectly recreated moments from the original game, just with better graphics.

Several moments in the trailer were kind of just saying "Remember this weird but fun thing? It's still here!".

As a fan on the original, the remake trailer looks very good.
