Honest Game Trailers | Super Mario RPG 

As someone who played the original but not the remake... Honestly, that just makes me happy.

I was in elementary school and was playing it on the SNES in the morning when I finally beat it. The end credits are loooooong. And my mom let me watch the entire thing and be late to school because she knew it was important to me. That's still a core memory I have 25 years later.

Same here never played the OG but I am loving playing this game on my switch.

@@AndrewThoesenOne day a week my high school had a later start time and I’d walk over to my friend’s house to hang out in the morning and get a ride with him when it was time to go. I watched him beat Super Metroid for the first time on one of those mornings. Holy sh*% that was so hype. I’m never going to forget that.

after playing through the original years ago and currently playing through the entirity of the remake, they're both a real privilege to play through with the remake having a few nice added bonuses.

You're not wrong. Seriously one of the best remakes of a 16 bit game I've ever seen.

Idkncould added some stuff

What? You didn't like the mess that was FF7 remake?

I'd like to point them out into Chrono Triggers direction

@@xieulongI don’t even consider VIIR a remake.

Mallow would be the better Smash character given the variety of attacks he uses. Geno would just be a Samus clone.

Mallow gets some really hefty buffs in the Remake. Usable character in both versions, but downright broken in the Remake.

@@eudaimonistic I wouldn't say broken. Towards the late game alot of enemies had lightning resistance and magic defense. And peach ended up filling the role of a healer. He was still good, just not overpowered, even if you specced him entirely for magic attack. Everyone played their roles well honestly

I already knew what a fan-favorite Geno was, but this remake made me give more respect for Mallow. He's such a powerful spellcaster who'd be just as fun to play in Smash as Geno. If not more so.

Weird how many kids thought I made this game up, like it just disappeared after a while.

This game got so many people into RPGs! It was actually Earthbound for me, but this one was an insta-fav when it came out! I was not a fan of traditional turn-based RPGs until those two games. This is still one that I like to revisit and play through from time to time. I haven’t got to play this new version yet but it looks great!

@@mootbooxle I still need to play Earthbound. It sounds so fun. edit: I like going back to play the original Super Mario RPG too. I just played through the remake and it was a lot of fun. All of the puzzles in Bowser's Keep actually work smoothly now. Plus there are bonus boss fights when you finish the game. I've only done the first two so far, but I like the additions.

@@alexanderjungroth7848 that’s cool, I didn’t know they added some stuff. Earthbound is a great game, I still love it! It’s like an old favorite movie that you just re watch for comfort. You know every line, but still laugh at the jokes. :)

Maybe because square Enix owns geno. Because they were the ones who created super mario rpg originally with nintendo on the snes. Then they became enemys for a while with square Enix Not wanting to have to do anything with nintendo anymore. However it Seems like the issues they had with each other are gone.

Except when he made a cameo in Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga just to explain a damn minigame

​@@JGr2000and He was taken out of the remake Version of that game.

I remember hearing that Square and Nintendo own the rights to Geno jointly, making it damn near impossible to agree on getting him into anything.

@@maelwys5432 Yeah, that's a thing that has plagued more than one Japanese IP. The joint ownership so nobody can use it, I mean.

Square Enix is very picky over what they allow. Remember the fight for music for the characters.

+ the 'je ne sais quoi' part. In the original, I had no idea when to push the button at the right time...

If you lived in a small Bible town like mine that ment very few games to rent so most of the time all the good ones where gone when you finally made it to the rental store.

Same

Same

Movement in the original seemed kinda slow to me compared to Paper Mario and Mario and Luigi games. I didn't get very far in it because of that. I might give the remake a shot and see if I like it better. It looks pretty good from the footage I've seen.

Did you have JRPG experience before hand? Because when I played on the SNES I didn't get it honestly, but I got it later again and after having played FF VII and IX and then going back to IV and VI (2 and 3 at the time), I got it better and loved it. I love this remake even, but I do have nostalgia in a way.

I can see one or the other being a decent assist trophy.

You mean the "Ax-em Rangers?" 😂

@@jaimereupert4247haha. I figured they would have changed the name like they do lol. That game was all over the place and incredible

Those Axem Rangers were probably the most 1990s thing about this game.

I always thought it was the other part of the name that should have been dropped. 🤷🏾‍♂️

I've been playing the ROM hack Chrono Trigger Crimson Echoes it's an unofficial sequel

No, we don't need yet another Chrono Trigger port since Square-Enix (mostly the Enix side) has been completely disingenuous on actually treating CT right. We need a proper Chrono Trigger sequel (i.e. Chrono Break/Brake) that _properly_ follows the characters and events of Trigger that people _actually_ wanted to see/play through rather than the extremely loose affiliation the Radical Dreamers reskin that was Chrono Cross did as an afterthought.

@@apollolux I didn't have a PlayStation as a kid so I never got around to playing Chrono Cross. I've heard mixed things about Radical Dreamers but I'll check it out someday. Having Chrono Trigger and Super Mario RPG on the same system again is more likely to happen. I wouldn't say no to a sequel, but not getting my hopes up for it.

@@Tysonator1000 If you're interested in Radical Dreamers and/or Chrono Cross, the 2023 combo release that remastered Cross and gave Dreamers an official English translation is available on Switch. The only reason I never chose to pick it up myself is because I poured over a hundred plus hours into the original Cross over at least five full playthroughs for all the characters (plus a few others for all the endings) and I don't see myself doing that again for the remaster. As for Trigger, the definitive version is arguably the DS version if one has a reliable way to play it cleanly and accurately with the original SNES version in a close second, but the Steam version is arguably the more "accessible" version even though it's based on the objectively inferior iOS/Android port.

@@apollolux I misplaced my DS cartridge a few years ago. Odds are my former roommate held onto it, like he did with my GameCube. 🙄 I'd rather have it on Switch than Steam. Heard the mobile port is awful. I'm catching up on my backlog of games before I purchase Chrono Cross.

Oh that's a good one. 😂

*has a brain aneurysm*

Yeah the game is pretty easy. I actually played through it twice back to back and the second time to give myself a challenge I did a no equipment run.

Yeah it’s really annoying they didn’t add more extra content and a higher difficulty

That's the one legit criticism and I think its because it was genuinely aimed at a younger audience. A new game+ or difficulty mode would be a nice addition.

@@AndrewThoesen except that this game was too easy 30 years ago and the people who are buying it now are in their 30s and 40s - makes no sense to say they are aiming it at younger audiences. Young kids are smart as well they don't need things dumbed down for them

Aw, but Adventure Mode isn't out yet for Steam.
