BrutalGamer Bringing you Brutally Honest feedback from today's entertainment industry.
Super Mario fans are in for a heck of a treat. A remake of Super Mario RPG and the all-new Super Mario Wonder are both coming up this fall.
Mario action, as you like it
What a Nintendo Direct today, as the company revealed not one but two new titles starring mascot Super Mario. The news came in the wake of heavy rumors yesterday, which correctly forecasted both an SNES remake and a new SMB title.
As you saw above, the SNES remake is none other than Super Mario RPG, one of the most celebrated games in the franchise, and a Super Nintendo favorite of many. This is no remaster either, as the full remake sees the iconic title reforged into what looks like a thoroughly modern game.
Super Mario RPG: Originally released on Super NES, Super Mario RPG has been overhauled with new graphics! Join Mario, Bowser, Princess Peach, and original characters Mallow and Geno, in an RPG filled with twists, turns and treasure. Mario must team up with his allies to face down a menacing force known as the Smithy Gang in order to recover seven stars and repair the Star Road. Whether you played the original game or have yet to take the journey, you can dive into this Nintendo Switch version of the very first RPG in the Super Mario series! Super Mario RPG launches for Nintendo Switch Nov. 17.
Nintendo press release
While that’s pretty exciting all by itself, there’s much more. A wholly new Super Mario is coming this year as well, and it’s set to shake up the formula of the series’ classic side-scrolling.
As you’ll see, the game will feature a new suit for the main plumber, four-player co-op, and some very interesting look gin new effects. Oh, and it looks spectacular.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder: The next evolution of 2D side-scrolling Super Mario Bros. games is headed to Nintendo Switch! When you touch a Wonder Flower in the game, the wonders of the world unlock – pipes could come alive, hordes of enemies may appear, characters might change their looks, for example – transforming the gameplay in unpredictable ways. Excitement and different surprises await in each course. Super Mario Bros. Wonder features Princess Peach, Princess Daisy and Yoshi as playable characters, in addition to familiar characters like Mario, Luigi and Toad. Plus, Super Mario Bros. Wonder sees the debut of Mario’s newest power-up, which allows him to transform into Elephant Mario! What other wonders could this game contain? More details will be shared at a later time, so please look forward to it! Super Mario Bros. Wonder launches for Nintendo Switch on Oct. 20.
