SUPER MARIO RPG

One of the most critically acclaimed RPG's ever made is now Square Enix's flagship title for the Virtual Console!

In Japan, it will cost 900 Wii Points, 100 points more than a normal SNES game.

Yeah, this is squaresoft's second VC game...but the first one was so bad, we might as well call this one the first.

From the enix side we have already gotten actraiser (sweet!) and I'm not sure about others.

THE Super Mario RPG? What's THE Super Mario RPG?Ilived

You know, I didn't know what it was until a month ago. And I am HUGE gamer. I actually thought it was a joke when I first heard about it.

Then I dug up some videos on YouTube and it looks good!

I am DEFINITELY getting this.

what kind of cable? if you have the original power cord (the one with the brick lol) thats all you need. just use the video/audio cable from an N64/GC/Wii and your set!

Thats great that you own it but for people like me who sold/broke there snes the VC is a god send. I never compared it to XBL I compared it to XBLA which really dosent have as many great titles as VC.

No no no, that's the first ENIX game. And Actraiser is one of the best games of all time.

The first SQUARESOFT VC game was King's Knight. On of the most boring games of all time.

Remember, back when marioRPG was made, they were still just squaresoft.

Cool. I've never played it, but everyone considers it one of the best games ever. With this and Earthbound ready for release, my future is going to be heavy on old-school RPGs! (I assume they're both coming out in the US soon.)

Last summer we got Paper Mario (my second-favorite game, just after SMG), so it kind of makes sense to get it's predecessor now.

Um... this is just my personal opinion, and I'm sure that many others will differ from it, but I think changing old classic games isn't always the best ideas. You CAN'T improve an already great game, that would be like going back and attempting to change up great classics like Chrono Tigger and attempting to update it to today's standards. Part of the charm and the appeal of these great games is their graphics, their gameplay elements, and just what they are, not what someone can change them into. Games like Super Mario RPG, Chrono Tigger, A Link to the Past, Final Fantasy 6, Secret of Mana, and so many other great games from the SNES era don't need to be updated or changed. Claiming Xbox Live Arcade makes games better is insane, all it does is update something that doesn't always need it, and this is definitely one of those gams that don't need to be changed. It needs to be enjoyed in all its glory as it is.

Awesome. Super Mario RPG is on of my all-time favorite games (I still have the SNES cartridge). Hopefully they follow his by releasing Chrono Trigger. That would definitely be a must-buy for me.

Old Titles and clas-sics= Virtial COnsole. XBOX orignals are good games, and even exceptional when you put in Halo Combat Evolved, but the VC destroys that by miles.

This is the one VC game I've been anticipating the most, since I mostly missed it back in the SNES days (I did play it briefly but not nearly enough for some reason). I'm downloading it the moment it comes out!

This is not square, this is Nintendo releasing it on VC. Nintendo owns the IP(mario) while Square was the one who made it.

You aint gonna see FF, CT etc on VC.

That game sucks so much. You don't even need to play during combat, the characters just fight for you. It's so boring... if only they would have made a Mario platformer with the same graphical style.

Actually, I hate pretty much all of Square's games, but I love most of Enix's. I really wish they never would have joined :(

The Paper Mario series is great so is the Mario & Luigi series (those are made by people that left Squaresoft and those same people that made Mario & Luigi Superstar saga series some of them helped make Super Mario RPG)

What are you talking about? You have to press buttons at certain moments to get stronger attacks and to keep attacks going. The game had a lot more involvement than most RPG's of the time. The game is an absolute masterpiece in every way. The best Mario RPG game out of a series of great games. Don't hate.
