There are many games that I would rather see come to the console before this one. But if it does come out, I may give it a solid try for once. I bought the game originally when a local video store went out of business (for like $5/10) but yet never really played it. I've always had a lot of other games that I wanted to play.
The SNES was just the perfect platform for RPGs. It was easy to create a stamp based graphical system and write a great saga around it all. Graphically, the Final Fantasy games weren't *as* great, but they played wonderfully and each had their own great storyline. Chrono Trigger was quite possibly the apex of RPGs on the SNES (and maybe in general, imho). Earthbound was a great offbeat take on RPGs that just clicked so perfectly. Mario RPG was the Square take on Mario that combined everything great about Mario and RPGs! Paper Mario has never touched it, imho. Other RPGs like Breath of Fire, 7th Saga, Lufia II, and Secret of Mana just round out the bunch.

A great week. Thursday when I get paid, Nintendo will finally get ten more dollars of mine.
