Rumors claimed a remake of a SNES classic was in the works, and it’s finally confirmed to be Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. The remake is out on November 17th for Nintendo Switch, with pre-orders starting today. Check out the first trailer below.
First developed by Squaresoft, Super Mario RPG sees Mario and friends battling against a new foe named Smithy. They traverse the world in search of the Seven Stars, and Mario gains several unique allies, from the marshmallow-esque Mallow to the living doll Geno. Even Princess Peach and Bowser join the fun after many hijinks.
While the timing-based battle system appears intact, Super Mario RPG Remake features completely redone visuals and rearranged tracks. It looks very good, with several scenes that hardcore fans will doubtless recognize. Stay tuned for more details on the remake in the coming months and for more announcements from the Nintendo Direct.
