Nintendo has struck gold yet again with Super Mario Bros. Wonder, but it has another potential blockbuster on the way this month. Super Mario RPG, a remake of the 1996 SNES role-playing game, releases on November 17th for Nintendo Switch. A new overview trailer in Japanese outlines what to expect – check it out below.

The story sees a mysterious entity called Exor embedding itself into Bowser’s Castle, destroying the Star Road en route.
