I get that people love SMRPG. I beat in the last year or two. It's fun, and seeing it with "new" graphics will be cool. But for it to not just be winning but dominating over genuinely interesting new content? That's crazy, the old version of the game can still be played. If this was SMRPG2, I'd be there. But this is not a new game

I mean...what's really the competition here? Mario Wonder probably should be winning even though it didn't do much for me I guess. I voted Star Ocean, but I won't actually be getting it on Switch because they already showed it looks like shit on their hardware. Wario Ware, yeah, but it's not solving your problem since at the end of the day it's still more Wario Ware.

Detective Pikachu is bad. Pokemon SV is bad and DLC. We don't know what Peach is. Dark Moon is bad. The last DQM game was bad, hopefully this one won't be.

It just wasn't a great direct lol.

I actually thought it was a reasonably good Direct (All the Mario stuff, WarioWare, Star Ocean, DQM and Penny are all great) but yeah the competition is nowhere near strong enough to compete with what I'd wager is a huge chunk of this site's first RPG from their childhood getting what appears to be a fantastically loving recreation. They'd have to have dropped ball-explodingly good footage of Metroid Prime 4 or something to compete with this.

Mario Wonder has the disadvantage of being a 2D Mario game, which probably hurts it in this poll. I think a brand new 3D Mario would be running away with this poll.

Though it does look like Mario Wonder has a game style that is distinct from the New Super Mario Bros. games, though. No points or a timer while playing the levels is a departure from past 2D Mario games.

GameFAQs has always had an abiding love for RPGs, SNES games, and 90s games. SMRPG is all three. Add to that people gravitating to what they know, and its no wonder that SMRPG is crushing the poll.

With that said SMBW is the biggest and possibly best thing they showed as well as a possible GOTY contender. The idea that it wasnt a great direct is certainly not widely held.

Eh, that one I liked well enough, but I can acknowledge that I didnt have a memorable story, relative to Joker 1, and the size thing was added as a mechanic, but felt particularly limiting with only 3 slots. Wouldnt really call it bad though, just kinda slow.

Yeah now that I agree with. We just had to deal with the essentially neutered version, then got hung out to dry for over a decade. Its a shame, cause the 3DS games I found really fun. Joker 3 Pro in particular I enjoyed.

Let's look at the options:

Two Remasters
Pokemon DLC
Pokemon Spinoff
Princess Peach
A WarioWare Game
Dragon Quest Monsters
And a 2D Mario game that does have some interesting new mechanics

A remake easily beats two remasters, no problem. Especially less popular remasters.
DLC is just DLC
Pokemon Spinoffs are pretty hit or miss, and it's not exactly Mystery Dungeon or Snap or Stadium
We got like 8 seconds of gameplay of Princess Peach
WarioWare isn't everyones cup of tea.
People barely play Dragon Quest, let alone the dragon quest spinoff Monsters

Meaning there's basically two options for most people: A remake of a game people have nostalgia for that looks pretty good, or a 2D Mario Game with some interesting mechanics but otherwise is just more 2D mario when we already have infinite 2D Mario in Mario Maker 2. Nostalgia wins over that for most people. Not to mention the people who never owned Super Mario RPG or the people who don't own a working SNES anymore.

Yeah they got me. I played SMRPG somewhere around 2000 during my RPG coming-of-age and one could say "you can still play the original" but like... I haven't replayed anything pre-PSX era, Chrono Trigger's in the same boat. So I am definitely excited for this and don't really care about any other Nintendo properties!

UltimaterializerX posted...
Actually yeah Ill give you FF7R too. So thats twice in 20 years.

What's the rate of remakes nowadays vs. 5, 10, 15 years ago though... let alone high-quality remakes, that percentage is definitely going to start rising.

I voted for WarioWare. There are some respectable options, a Pokemon DLC that we already knew about, and the idea of a Princess Peach game. SMRPG, I feel like it doesn't need a remake that badly. The visuals have aged well enough in the pre-rendered 3D style. I can't think of super-obvious QoL changes it needs in a remake. It's cool that it's getting a remake but it's not OMG hype.

this site has been frozen in time for the last 15 years. I'm not sure why anyone would be surprised by a 90s game light remake crushing everything. I mean, it made the final four of a game contest once upon a time, Square with Mario in the title and all.
