Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Super Mario RPG On Switch?

Love the SNES original and am much looking forward to the remaster. But, due to other obligations, won't be able to play it until March or April next year.

I've said it here before, but I just don't care for the remake. Aside from the OST, nothing I've seen of it has done anything for me and I'd much rather have the original available on NSO, as I think that still stands up on its own. Or, better yet, a proper sequel to SMRPG.

Bought a voucher for it months ago and already have it preloaded.

I wasn’t very interested in this until the overview trailer came out and showed the game had such charm! I’m still considering it, since I have Wonder and other Mario games to keep me occupied. But the holidays are coming..

I mean, i would just get it from my library and see if it is any good. I ain't paying 60 bucks for something i can emulate with higher graphics.

One of my favorite childhood games! I preordered it, but I might need to wait a few weeks to play it since my first son could come any day now. =)

Can't wait to play this remake I was late to the original due to being from Europe, we never got it untill Wii virtual console. Funnily enough it's actually the inspiration(And also sonic 3D) for the latest game I'm working on!

Day one! I've got Friday off coincidentally too so I'll be diving into it. Never played it back in the day more than a few hours so I'm excited. 😊

Always meant to play the original, so the remake is the perfect excuse to finally jump in. I’m pumped!

Oddly, if the original was releasing on NSO I don’t think I’d get around to it.

I'm going to buy it Day One, but I will not be able to get to it until I finish Alan Wake 2 and Super Mario Wonder.

There is about a 6 month period between mid-October and mid-March where my wife asks me to not buy new games because of Christmas and my birthday in March. I'm hoping I will be able to pick it up after Christmas though

My wife is going to play the original SNES version while I play the remake through in Japanese. Very excited to see the differences in the remake, and any major differences in the script as my wife does the English version. It will have to wait until she’s done with her current game though, so I may not play until January. :-/ It’ll be hard to NOT play it until then. Loved it as a kid, replayed it a decade ago and thought it still held up. Curious to see what a new generation thinks of it.

Pre-ordered the physical copy. I've played my original cart countless times and still play it every few years. It's one of those games I know every detail of but never get tired of replaying, maybe because it was my gateway to rpgs way back when. I don't know that the remake is going to land perfectly for me, I'm mixed on what I've seen so far but I at least want to see everything in the fresh coat of paint and support the game in any form. Kind of like Link's Awakening.

Not day one as I still busy with 3rd party games.

Yes, but not right away. Probably get it around Christmas.

Super tight on money normally, but I'm still able to get a game like this day one...just something I can't do constantly, kinda sucks because I'm missing out on some big games like Mario Wonder or Bauldur's Gate III, but out of all the stuff I want to get Mario RPG is the most important. lol

I've got way too many other games on my plate at the moment. As it is, the RPG I am currently playing is Genshin Impact (which I have mentioned on this site many times before), and I somehow keep inadvertently triggering more quests. So I need to get through all of that first before I even think of picking up another RPG.

Aside from that, I'll be buying a new laptop in a couple of weeks, and since it's a custom build, it's going to run me a few grand. I won't exactly be strapped for cash afterwards, but it will put a huge dent in my wallet. So I can't really justify buying any more games at the moment.

Probley.. ive still got the original on my wii u. With winder waker and twilight princess.

eventually will get it down the road...

Maybe if I can get it on sale, this doesn't seem like it adds 60 dollars worth of content if you have the original

Loved the original growing up. Remake looks lovely, but not a priority to buy at the moment, especially since I have the old one on the SNES mini.

I love this game. One of my favorite Super NES games.
The remake looks nice, visually. But it doesn't seem to do enough new/different to justify $60 USD.
Not a hard pass, but still a pass for me.

I literally just beat the original three months ago or so, so needless to say I don't want to immediately play it AGAIN! However, I have spoiled myself instead by looking at the leaks, and without spoiling anything, YOU'RE IN FOR A TREAT.
Also the soundtrack is a bop.

I not only preordered it, but also took the day off from work.

Never played the original and always heard good things about it so definitely getting it, probably day one purchase.

Will be picking it up eventually! Maybe for Christmas or something lol. I put my priority on preordering the new Splatoon amiibo, so no Mario RPG at launch for me!

No thank you. I’m good.

Have it on the SNES mini and on the Wii U, I am not seeing any reason to spend $60 on this. If it were $40…

I’m not missing this one. I’ve been wanting to play this game forever and this seems like a great way to finally do it.

Next year sometime.

The real answer right now is "Yes, but I'm deciding whether I bite the bullet or not in a promo in H-E-B Mexico of 3x2 (Buy 3 games and the one of the lowest cost is free). I was checking and even Super Mario RPG enters in the promo. If I do buy them, the other 2 games will most certainly be Mario Wonder and WarioWare: Move It!

I have until Thursday to decide."

Interested. But I’ve learned from 2077 to not preorder nor get hyped.

TBH, WONDER and SM2 kinda broke my gaming piggybank until ARKHAM TRILOGY hits. Also, even though we have it on PS5, the wife wants HOGWARTS LEGACY on Switch. Maybe I can get SMRPG and FRONTIERS OF PANDORA under the guise of "family presents" left by Santa..... ; )

Nah, I feel that the SNES original has a timeless style to it, and this remake is really unnecessary. Especially for $60, it's a hard sale for me, and I am not exactly the biggest fan of SM RPG/Paper Mario

Yes, yes I will be getting it on Switch.

Day one, already my game of the year.
I seriously hope Nintendo is also brings Mario RPG on switch 2.

Hell yeah! I never played it before, admittedly, but I have played Paper Mario: The Origami King and all of the Mario & Luigi series, so I'm confident that this would be entertaining in that same vein.

I can honestly say this is one of my most looked forward to Switch games this year.

Will most likely get it once they fix the performance issues.

Played and beat the SNES original but never felt like going back. RPGs aren't for me, even though this one does a lot more with the overworld between random battles and towns. I have Paper Mario, TTYD, Mario & Luigi Saga and Super Paper Mario but these games don't hold my interest anymore.

Think I'll stick with the original. Can't say I'm too much of a fan of the 3D graphics and wished they'd have kept more closely to the original art style as it added more personality to the characters and environments compared to the new art style where everything looks stiff(I also have those same feelings towards the Superstar Saga remake); unfortunately I also have those same feelings toward the TTYD remake where instead of keeping the storybook aesthetic of the original, they decided to go with the more realistic, bright, paper look for the environments from the more recent Paper Mario games and I just can't say I'm a fan of it.

Bought it with the vouchers I also used for Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Can't wait for Friday! 😊

I'm glad so many people will be supporting this game. Super hyped for it.

Mario games are my absolute favourite genre of any video games.

I've owned and completed just about every single 2D and 3D game (actually I haven't quite finished Super Mario Wonder yet)

However I absolutely despise RPG games of any kind so I'm afraid I'll have to skip this one.

@Member_the_game does that extend to games with skill trees or with player and enemy leveling? Cause that's like every game now. What about with tiered loot?

@LikelySatan

It's more the turned based battles and combat that I'm not a fan of.

I appreciate it could be slightly different with this but I did try a few of a the Paper Mario games in the past and just couldn't get on with them for the reasons mentioned above.

@Member_the_game I totally get it. Turn-based anything was a huge turnoff for me for a long while. Accepting that I have to take hits is always a hurdle. I still have my issues with it in some games. Like I want to love Invisible Inc, because stealth infiltration is one of my favorite genres...but I can't stand that the alarm level goes up no matter how well I play. Same with anything with random cards, or games that are nearly 100% dice rolls...like Darkest Dungeon. That should be a favorite game for me, but it's just too oppressive and whatever I do, I feel like the RNG is the actual player.

i just preordered the Super Mario RPG remake yesterday online. So I should be getting it sometime early this week hopefully or somethig during the weekend or probably on Monday.

Meanwhile I just dug out my old SNES game of the original Super Mario RPG Legend of the Seven Stars and going to be wandering back to the Forest and see if i can find the tree trump area from the maze. Hope i can find a good youtube video that will show the right way to navigate the forest

I will definitely check it out to see what the hype is all about, but so far Mario games have been pretty disappointing for me so definitely not right away and definitely not at full price.

@N00BiSH Yeah, agree - I think the graphics still hold up well with the original. I'm a bit over all these remasters and remakes.

Day 1 of course, even though I still have to beat One Piece Odyssey. I think I will take a break from the internet for a while, so I do not feel like missing out.

It is great to see, that so many people will play this game. Paper Mario is a great series, and since this comes close, I am sure I will love it.

Will play someday. But not for awhile. The backlog has increased lately.

Never really played the original as it skipped my region until VC. Tired it once or twice but never stayed with it long enough for it to click so looking forward to the modern remake which I'm way more likely to actually play tbh.

TTYD is the only mario rpg that looked interesting to me. Can't want to play that one for the first time.

Hell yeah already preordered it! I've been planning to play this game for a long time and this remake is the perfect opportunity. Also, I just finished mario+rabbis sparks of hope yesterday what a month it has been for mario

@RenanKJ Best wishes to you and your family, my friend

I downloaded the original for Wii but didn't enjoy it. However, it does look like they've remade it well, so I'll keep an eye on it.

Something for next year to play. Just too many games to catch up on

I've not yet seen any reason to get this when I already have the original.

Would've been day 1 but I'm now off to Japan. I've not played the original so I'm really looking forward to playing. Now if only the Japanese version got a English option.

Preloaded and ready to go. This is my favourite RPG in the Mario series by quite a large margin, can't wait until this tasty remake drops~

Of course. Gotta support this so we get way more Mario RPG's with actual stories and characters in the future.

For remakes, though, I desperately want Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time next. That series needs its big comeback and Partners in Time is wildly underrated. Hopefully Nintendo hired some former AlphaDream staff to help out with that as well. No other studio can emulate their style and charm.

Like many others, I really really can't miss out on it! The graphics look so colourful as well.

I'll probably check it out from my local library when they get ahold of it. It looks really good, but I don't have the money for it right now.

Of all the things I could use as an excuse not to buy the game, it's the box art

@Vil Partners in Time already had a "remake" enhanced version which was made for the Nintendo 3DS. you been living in a cave or something?

I'm just going to borrow it from a friend once he's done with it

I pre-ordered it, and I want to play through the original again so that I'm prepared. But instead, I keep going to play TTYD for some reason. lol.

I would love to play this, I loved it on SNES, but I'm not paying $60 for it.

I have been playing Paper Mario (N64) on NSO and enjoying it, so I now think I will get this. I am tempted to buy it day 1 but that would probably mean I would interrupt Paper Mario and not necessarily return to it. Not to mention the other unfinished games I have started this year.

No. This game is TOO EASY (child level) on SNES. And, on Switch, its easier = no fun. Maybe if I was 7 years old ....no, wait...when I was 7...I Played and finished Super Ghouls and Ghosts with 0 life losses. Maybe if I was 4...

Definitely a day 1 purchase for me. Friday cannot come soon enough!

I played a virtual console version on the Wii I think? I discovered turn based RPGs just don’t do it for me, so will pass on this, even despite the high praise. It’s not you mario RPG, it’s me, and the turn based RPG genre.

While I'm sad that I had to cancel my preorder (money is starting to get tight around this holiday season), I'm definitely using Christmas money to pick it up.

Absolutely. I really enjoyed the original, would love to experience it again on the Switch.

Yes of course, I never played the original so it's like a new game for me 😃

Yep, got my Amazon preorder in. I've beat it before but not for quite a few years, so it should be mostly fresh.

I'm interested, but there are a lot of other games occupying my time, so idk if I'll ever get to this one.

Played the original for a while back in the day, but bailed. Timing based combat isn't my thing. Looks good though. I would consider it on sale, but that will be a while for Nintendo.

@XandertheWise Wow. Auditioning for r/confidentlyincorrect with that one?

It seems you enjoy caving way more than me, considering it's literally the one game that wasn't remade. It's number 2 in the series, and only 1 (Superstar Saga) and 3 (Bowser's Inside Story) got remakes on the 3DS. They skipped Partners in Time because of its low popularity. No offence here, but a simple Google search would let you find this cave's exit.

One of my most anticipated games this year. I haven't had a chance to play the original, but from all I've seen and read about it, it seems like a game I will highly enjoy!

No, not interested, never liked it since snes era.

I actually won a costume contest at a recent Halloween event/party, and the winnings will help me buy this remake.

I will, but as I'm a budget gamer, I'll try and get it when there's at least some nice discount.

Unfortunately I really can't get into turn based combat, which is a shame because I like everything else about this game - graphics, sound, style, humour.

Preordered and paid in Full. Rumor is this will sellout and most likely stock will come back in 2024 if demands don't outstrip the orders.

@betterman What are you talking about all JPRPG/RPG are turn based games.

Eventually. Super Mario Wonder followed by Pikmin 1&2 will be my next purchases.

Oh yes! Pre-ordered and took the day off tomorrow .

I will get it eventually, I still run around in TOTK, also started Metroid Prime and finished Super Mario Wonder. Too much to play as it is, also new Like A Dragon is out

No. I already have it on Wii, Wii U, and the Virtual Console. I don't care about the updates. If it was $39.99 I would probably bite.
