    Played this game originally on the Super Nintendo. Now my son will get to enjoy the same game. The game is a little slower compared to the most other Mario games but definitely a must have for any Nintendo switch owner.

    Its a near 1 to 1 version of the super nes, but adds a few extra video. if you enjoyed the original and want to play again with updated graphic and battle mechanics which show on screen "perfect dodge/attack times", you will enjoy this.

    While I do prefer the old SNES graphic style to the more modern look this remake has it is still well worth it.

    If you enjoyed the original, this is a faithful remake that maintains everything that made the original wonderful, while adding some new quality of life features that I welcomed. It's a great way to preserve a piece of gaming history while making it accesible to new generations.

    I remember this game fondly when I was a tween. I tried to play the original a few years ago but the graphics made me cringe. At the time 64 bit was incredible, but now its sort of terrible. I'm glad they upscaled this for a modern system for more people to enjoy or re-enjoy.

    I play a lot of RPGs and it can get rough to constantly grind and invest into them. So Mario RPG is super refreshing because you can just casually enjoy the game and have fun. Its also a great introduction to the genre for someone who has never played any highly recommend

    This is an extremely faithful remake, almost to a fault. It's still the Mario RPG you know and love. The problem is that there's little to no new content and the timed hit mechanic seems very off compared to the original SNES game. Also the rearranged music isn't great. It's far from bad, but I still used the original soundtrack more than the arranged. I will say it's AMAZING that the option to use the original soundtrack for free. Also the game runs very well. Some frame drops during battles, but still great. Great for any Mario RPG fan.

    Super Mario RPG was one of the first rpgs i played and got me into the genre. When i saw it was being remade, I knew I had to get it! It looks beautiful and been such a joy to play. It keeps everything from the original and adds a little more to add to its charm!

    This is exactly what you'd expect for a remake, some quality of life upgrades and visual updates, but the rest was left alone. Don't fix something that isn't broke. As a side note, I had this preordered through Best Buy for delivery, and it arrived day of release.

    [Employee of bestbuy] Every bit the game I fell in love with as a kid. This remake looks and feels like an updated version of the original game. Also, the new soundtrack arrangements are truly masterpieces.

    If you are too young to have played the original, then treat y ourself with this remake. Incredibly faithful upgrade to the original and it won't break the bank. If you liked the virtual one for switch online, still get this!

    Did not realize it is an EXACT remake. No new features at all. Essentially upgraded from PS1 to PS3 graphics is all. Should never have paid $60 for this, but that is on me. If you are a huge fan of the original, and just looking for modern day nostalgia, without any change to the integrity of the classic, than this is perfect for you. If you were expecting maybe some additions, or improvements, you are out of luck.

    This is a great and faithful remake to the original, with some quality of life sprinkled in. You can choose between original and new sound track and the monster journal is a nice touch among other things. Its worth picking up if you loved the original.
