Look at my avatar. I will lose it if this SMRPG remake is real. A bonafide, real, true "new" Mario RPG in 2023? Years after the closure of Alpha Dream and modern Paper Mario being...whatever it is? I think I might cry.
Ok, confession, I haven't actually played SMRPG. BUT (WAIT!) My first game growing up was M&L SS on the GBA so I've always wanted to play the precursor and originator of the lineage of Mario RPG games. In fact, I have a SNES mini...just haven't gotten around to hooking it up.
Long story short, yes I know the team and director behind it would go on to create Alpha Dream and the interview Fujioka gave to Minnmax a while back game me hope a new Mario RPG was on the horizon. So I waited...Hopefully this rumor becomes a reality.
Quick question for those who have played the game though...What was Luigi's role in it? I love Luigi in the M&L games and I'd be a bit sad if he wasn't a playable party member in this potential remake. Could they possibly add Luigi in as a playable party member in a remake? Either way, I'm excited for the return of Mario RPGs.
