Super Mario RPG

Super Mario RPG is game software for the Super Famicom released by Nintendo (Development: Nintendo, Square) in 1996. In this item, we will also explain the remake version for Nintendo Switch announced at the Nintendo Direct in June 2023.

Game software for the Super Famicom released on March 9, 1996. A work that became the forerunner and foundation of the Mario RPG series, which will be released in large numbers later. And, just like any other Super Famicom software that has a full line-up of masterpieces, it is still regarded as a masterpiece even many years after its release. Actions based on Mario's traditional jumps, battles that incorporate "action commands", and a wealth of material in story development not found in the previous Mario series. In addition, there are many replay elements such as sub-events, and battles are mainly symbol encounters, so there is a high degree of freedom. It boasts a superb degree of perfection that does not pale in comparison to recent works. I was able to download it on the virtual console, but since the Nintendo eShop service for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS ended at the end of March 2023, it is currently not available for purchase. In addition, the action commands in battle, Mario's "bang" in the blur scene, and the non-stop long-winded lines of mob characters are traditions that have continued since this work. It is also the first work in which Princess Peach and Bowser, who had almost no dialogue until then, were given clear characters. By the way, among the SFC Nintendo titles at that time, it was a rare layout with the package lying down. At the time of release, it comes with a coupon that allows you to buy the Super Famicom main unit at a discount of 4000 yen. In addition, the "Nintendo" logo is displayed at startup and changes to "SQUARE SOFT" by morphing.
