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 pretty much agree, maybe if they’d managed to somehow capture the weird feel of Mario RPG’s prerendered sprites in real time it would have impressed me more? Not sure, but it definitely looked more generic than the original game in terms of graphical style. Plus I’m just not that excited to play it again for some reason, even though I loved the original.
However, Super Mario Wonder looked so creative, the surrealism drew me in and it seems like the perfect direction to take 2D Mario in. It’s the one game in that Direct that I saw and was like “I need to play this”.
I’m never touching New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe again… That’s for sure.
