New overview trailer and commercials.
God, the amount of effort they've put into this is overwhelming. Just a couple of years ago, people would have just called you crazy if you even brought up the idea of a remake, let alone one with this much love poured into it.
People have been waiting years for something like this, some I know almost 2 decades. This has been a very surprisingly long journey for so many people. I'm sure some people here are aware of the old rumors, but an SMRPG Remake happening in a similar vein to Links Awakening has been floating around since very early 2020, and the amount of stuff that has happened since then is crazy. From people being convinced Geno was in Smash Ultimate due to multiple rumors at the time pointing to it (Stuff I still personally believe, for the most part), from the constant speculation in 2020 about when we could see the remake and stuff for Mario's 35th Anniversary. The constant burns of Geno not being "the next character". Geno getting Mii'd during Sephiroth's wave. The time between the Smash X ARMS reveal in March, and Steve's reveal in October made a lot of people convinced that Geno would be "77", due to "Seven Stars". While it was crazy speculation, it was fun, and I'm very happy that people are finally on the other side of all that and that it finally paid off.
Some people were so unbelievably cynical about the entire thing, though, ever since the rumors first popped up. Wishful thinking and fun, out-there theories constantly got made fun of by people who took them seriously. A lot of people were harassed for believing in it all. It was honestly heart-breaking seeing people get harassed over stuff like that. Some people really need to seek validation through video game discourse, I guess.
This all might sound corny and such, but I'm just so happy the developers clearly had as much passion for this game as the fans do. Full-blown CGI cutscenes, Triple-moves, the amount of details all of the models have, they didn't have to do any of that. I'm pretty sure if they just rereleased the original game for 60 dollars, people would have still bought it. But they did put in that effort. It's unreal to be seeing it right now, and it's even more unreal that it's coming out in 2 weeks.
