One response to “Episode 80: Super Mario RPG (2023)”
I’m with Eric when he says the graphics of the original hold up. I actually have no desire to play the remake because I love prerendered graphics from the SNES and PS1 eras. There’s just a style to that look that sadly can’t be recreated. That’s what gave technology back then personality. The remake just looks like typical modern game graphics. I’ve beaten Mario RPG and while I don’t think it’s a particularly great game, the graphics and music and so nostalgic. I don’t love the game but I appreciate it!
