Longer review coming later but shit I love Super Mario RPG, and this remake does a pretty good job at keeping all the stuff I loved about the original. It's not the type of game that you play for anything complex; you play it because it's an RPG about Mario. For better or for worse it's not Paper Mario and it's not Mario & Luigi. I like that, though, so it benefits me. The original was a wonderful thing when it first released, and I'd say this one has some magic for those familiar with the game, and also those who aren't. The soundtrack remains great. Some tracks are inferior to their original versions but that's the risk you take with orchestral tracks. Booster Tower and Nimbus Land have really good rearrangements.

So yeah I like it, give it a play if you want another Mario RPG. Still waiting on SMRPG2, and so is the original director. Damn would it be awesome.
