The highly anticipated Super Mario RPG remake for Nintendo Switch is set to launch on November 17th, bringing a host of new features and enhancements to one of Nintendo’s most beloved RPG adventures.
Developed by Nintendo, Super Mario RPG originally debuted on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) in 1996, earning critical acclaim for its engaging story, unique characters, and innovative gameplay that blended the platforming elements of the Mario series with classic turn-based RPG mechanics. As the release date draws near, fresh details have emerged from official Japanese sources, offering an in-depth look at the additions made to the Nintendo Switch version.
Among the most notable enhancements is the inclusion of a Sound Player, which becomes available after completing the game.
This new feature allows players to enjoy both the remastered soundtrack and the original SNES music tracks, giving fans a nostalgic yet refreshed audio experience. Players will also have access to an expanded monster information system accessible directly through a dedicated menu.
This tool displays vital statistics, status weaknesses, and even fun trivia about foes encountered throughout the adventure.
In a significant update inspired by the Paper Mario series, Mallow’s signature “Psychopath” ability now lets players automatically log enemy details into a comprehensive bestiary—a nod to Paper Mario’s “Tattle” function—so players can build a robust knowledge base about the world’s monsters. Combat features receive a dramatic expansion with the introduction of Triple Move Attacks, special moves that require strategic party combinations.
Several showcased techniques include: - Mario, Peach, and Bowser’s “Invincible Spike Shell,” which strikes all adversaries with an impervious shell. - Mario, Mallow, and Geno’s “Star Riders,” delivering a powerful combo attack using sparkling star pieces. - Mario, Peach, and Geno’s “Protecting Veil,” shielding the entire party from incoming damage. - Mario, Mallow, and Bowser’s “Spark-Freeze-Fire Big Bomb,” an explosive assault that inflicts Thunder, Ice, and Fire damage to all foes. Nintendo confirms that there are even more Triple Move combinations to discover, encouraging experimentation and strategic planning among party members. Additional quality-of-life improvements include a walk/run toggle for improved movement customizability and the convenience of saving progress anywhere outside of battle, allowing for a smoother and more flexible gameplay experience. Super Mario RPG for Nintendo Switch promises to deliver both classic nostalgia and fresh innovations for long-time fans and new players alike.
With pre-orders currently open from major retailers and a variety of bonus offers available, now is the perfect time to reserve a copy and get ready to relive a legendary adventure with modern enhancements. Super Mario RPG launches exclusively on the Nintendo Switch on November 17th, 2023.
