The original for Super Nintendo was my childhood and its still my favorite game of all-time. So when the remake was announced I flipped and felt excited like a kid again. In short, it doesn't "replace" the OG in my opinion but it certainly has it's place. Graphically it's impressive and all the new animations, cutscenes, etc. Are so much fun to experience already knowing the original. It is just about a 1 to 1 remake. With VERY few changes. Some very minor dialog changes that no one will notice. The game, story, items etc. Are exactly the same. They've only added things like cutscenes, and some new gameplay mechanics, which are fun and neat to see all the new combos and specials.
My real only CON is that its way easier than the original game. However, there is a kind of a "boss rush" mode post credits which will have you revisit foes who are much more difficult this time and yield brand new items.
Overall: It's a must buy for gamers who loved the OG. The nostalgia is a trip. For new comers, it'll be a great starting point especially for more casual gamers.

As someone who played and was a super fan of the original game on the console: "Super Nintendo", I can attest after beating this version in under 48 hours of total gameplay that this fully remastered game is absolutely incredible. If you like classic RPG games, you will thoroughly appreciate the combat and quality story this game offers. And for those like me, the game will definitely satisfy the nostalgic crave you've had for this game to come to the switch console in any format. Heck! I would have been satisfied with the OG snes version getting released to the SNES app on Switch, but this game announcement alone far exceeded my expectations. 11 out of 10!

This game is pure Love and great original ideas, this is perfect for any age and Great for a gift, it has RPG style, where fighting makes you stronger, your friends are pure heart and even has classic Super Mario mechanics.
I love how friendship and Humor is mixed here, it has Easy for newcomers and a mix between Medium and Hard difficulty.
If you loved the first game, this one is the Ultimate version, with the great music from the same Xenoblade compositor.

If you enjoyed the Super Nintendo version of this game you will enjoy this one even more, you can now hold more than 999 coins in the game, that was always a problem by the time you got to the 2nd star boss fight you had 999 coins, they added special more powerful enemies that you get a frog coin for defeating so frog coins aren't as hard to come by now, they are lots of areas you can turn into an experience breeding ground, your max level is still only level 30, I highly recommend this game especially if you enjoyed the original game.

The game is a lot of fun. I think it's the best choice if you want to start playing all the Mario RPGs. You can complete the game in about 20 hours. The only thing I don't like is the price, I think it's a bit expensive for a remaster of a 25-year-old game.

An amazing revisit to a classic game. This remake is fantastic. It is great for first timers or for those who want to revisit the familiar world. The game is easy but enjoyable. The post game is where the difficulty is so if you stick with it you will get your harder challenge. The game is beautiful to look at, listen to, and play.

This is mostly the same game as it was on the Super Nintendo with a few new features. The graphics and sound are all updated and a few new battle mechanics were added, but if you love this game you will most likely love this new version as well. For new players if you like Mario and classic jrpgs, you should give this a try.

If you haven’t played the original one, you MUST try it. Has modern graphics but keeping the original game mechanics. Story is way different than the other common Mario’s games. If you don’t like RPG games at all or you are new playing RPGs, this is a great game to start.

Great game!! It’s just like the SNES version but with better graphics and added features. Fun and challenging yet still simple enough for a young kid to be able to play and enjoy as well.

Although not as exciting as some modern Nintendo games it is a timeless classic from one of the best eras of RPG’s. However, the game is very short and it doesn’t feel like there is enough content to justify the price. I recommend waiting until the game goes on sale to purchase it

If you never play the first Mario RPG game that led to the series of Paper Mario and "Mario & Luigi saga", you are missing out! This was the root of those games and mechanics.
I still have my SNES Super Mario RPG when I was kid and still have a massive blast.
This remake was very very faithful to the original, including the item placement, locations, almost the same timing how to attack or block attacks, almost 1 to 1 dialogue, amazing visual, maps are the same as the original, music remix is great! ......the new content is quality of life, new battle mechanic and new post end game bosses which amazing.
Great game for all ages and RPG lovers

Love this game! If you’re a fan of turn based RPG Final Fantasy style with Super Mario characters then this is a no brainer. ** This is a remake of the N64 game made in 1996. **
