Following PlayStation and Xbox, it was Nintendo’s turn to showcase what it has to offer this year. During the Nintendo Direct event, the company announced that it would release a remake of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. This game was first released back in 1996 and was released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES). The remake will simply be called Super Mario RPG and as one might expect, the game will feature completely new graphics that are more in line with what you can expect with the Nintendo Switch.
Super Mario RPG was Mario’s first foray into the world of RPGs. Keep in mind that this character has been a part of platformers, racing games, fighting games, sports games and more. The game was a turn-based RPG and gameplay was very similar to other franchises such as Final Fantasy. It is also one of the few games that see Mario work together with his arch-nemesis, Bowser.
Super Mario RPG: Price and Availability
Super Mario RPG will be available from November 17th, 2023 onwards. However, those interested can go ahead and pre-order the game. The digital version of the game is priced at $59.99 (approx. Rs 4,900) on the Nintendo eShop.
Aside from Super Mario RPG, Nintendo had a bunch of other games to showcase during the event. This includes Detective Pikachu Returns, a cinematic adventure where players are set to solve cases with Pikachu. There is also a new instalment in the long-running WarioWare series called WarioWare: Move it. It also unveiled new details of its upcoming game, Pikmin 4.
