Reimagined and Remastered on Nintendo Switch, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars is back and better than ever. The fan-loved turn-based role-playing game, originally released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, has been revamped for a whole new generation on the Nintendo Switch. Set for release on November 17, 2023, the game promises to capture the hearts of old and new fans alike.

The game commences with the kidnapping of Princess Peach by none other than Bowser, as you would expect in a classic Mario story. However, events take an unexpected turn when the Smithy Gang swoops in to create chaos by destroying the Star Road, which grants wishes, further complicating the situation. This leads Mario, Mallow, and Geno – an interesting collection of characters – to join forces on a quest to gather scattered Star Pieces and restore the Star Road.

Fighting is a crucial component of this epic quest, and Super Mario RPG features significant improvements to the timed button press system, enhancing the fun factor. Action Commands, familiar to veteran players, allow you to reduce damage or boost attack power with well-timed button presses. The game also introduces a new Action Gauge, which, when filled, allows party members to unleash a powerful Triple Move, adding depth to the gameplay.

The game is not without its quirks and charms, boasting a lighthearted and whimsical approach that permeates the entire experience. Silly adversaries and witty NPC interactions keep the atmosphere light and enjoyable, while classic Mario characters are presented in a distinct and delightful manner. While some areas may feel a bit sparse, the new Super Mario RPG promises an enhanced visual and auditory experience on the Nintendo Switch.

To make the game even more accessible to today’s players, Super Mario RPG introduces new accessibility features, ensuring that both new and nostalgic fans can dive into this iconic RPG adventure. With its engaging battle system, whimsical charm, and modern upgrades, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars offers a delightful gaming experience that will capture the hearts of players young and old.
