Nintendo today presented us with a new trailer for the upcoming remake of the highly anticipated Super Mario RPG , which will be released in just a few months.
Earlier this year during the previous direct, Nintendo announced that it would be releasing a new version of its beloved RPG game, which first appeared on Super Nintendo screens in 1996. Now Nintendo has shown us more, we know what to expect from the new remake, which now boasts updated mechanics and systems.
Compared to the original game, Super Mario RPG on Switch will feature some real-time action mechanics. Essentially, when players properly time their button presses with their character’s attacks, they will be able to deal damage to a wider range of enemies. Additionally, a new gauge has been added to Super Mario RPG that will allow players to perform “triple attacks”. These ultimate abilities will allow characters to deal significantly more damage than basic attacks and will vary depending on which characters may be actively in the party during the battle.
Perhaps the coolest thing confirmed in the new Super Mario RPG video is the presence of many different bosses in the game. Nintendo has stated that once players complete the title, they will be able to return to bosses they fought earlier in the game to face them again. The replayed battles, however, will be much more difficult, meaning those looking for an intense challenge should find it even after completing the entirety of Super Mario RPG.
When will Super Mario RPG be released on Switch?
Currently, Super Mario RPG continues to develop. The premiere, scheduled for November 17 this year, is fast approaching. When the game is released, it will only be playable on the Nintendo Switch, Switch Lite and Switch OLED platforms.
