Unveiling the Astonishing Transformation: Super Mario RPG Remake vs Original – A Visual Delight!

A new comparison video showcases the graphics of the original Super Mario RPG on the SNES and the upcoming remake for Nintendo Switch. The remake was recently announced during the June 21 Nintendo Direct, and just days later, fans were treated to this video.

Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars follows Mario, Bowser, and Peach as they join forces to save Star Road and defeat the troublesome Smithy Gang. Originally released in 1996 for the SNES, this beloved RPG won the hearts of many players. Now, a new generation of Mario fans will get to experience this captivating tale with the upcoming remake for Nintendo Switch. The remake will feature stunning HD visuals and cinematics, giving a fresh and enhanced look to the game.

Since the announcement of the remake, fans of the original SNES game have eagerly compared gameplay footage and discovered hidden Easter eggs in the new version.

In RetroRPG's recent comparison video, they showcased the upcoming remake of Super Mario RPG for Nintendo Switch alongside the original SNES version. The video displayed the reveal trailer for the remake in the top left-hand corner, while the bottom right-hand corner featured gameplay footage from the original SNES game, both highlighting the similarities and differences between the two versions. Notably, RetroRPG's footage revealed that despite featuring new visuals and different cutscene angles, the opening cutscenes of the Super Mario RPG remake closely resemble those of the original game. Furthermore, the running animation of Mario and the isometric view of the combat system in the remake appear to be largely unchanged, as demonstrated in RetroRPG's comparison video. Additionally, enemy placement in the remake remains identical to the original game in various locations such as Mushroom Way and Kero Sewers. However, all characters and enemies have been given new models that resemble those seen in recent Super Mario games.

The latest video by RetroRPG highlights Nintendo's dedication to maintaining the distinct essence of the SNES game, Super Mario RPG. Considered one of the greatest Super Mario games ever made, the upcoming Nintendo Switch remake seems to recapture the crucial elements that contributed to the 1996 title's success.

In addition to the faithful recreation, the remake will introduce a fresh combat mechanic that seems to be inspired by the Action Commands from the Mario & Luigi series. Furthermore, fans can look forward to an updated Super Mario RPG soundtrack by Yoko Shimomura, the renowned composer responsible for the original score on the SNES.

Super Mario RPG launches November 17 for Nintendo Switch.
