Super Mario RPG Is On Sale For Its Best Price Yet At Amazon
If you're in the mood for an old-school role-playing game starring a certain mustachioed Nintendo icon, you can't go wrong with Super Mario RPG. Released last November, this modernized take on the classic SNES game has just received a big discount, dropping the price from $60 to $45 at Amazon. This is the lowest price yet from a major retailer. Walmart is selling Mario RPG for the same price; or, if you don't mind buying from a third-party seller, you can snag the game for only $40.
Incredibly faithful to the beloved original, Super Mario RPG is a charming Switch game enhanced with several quality-of-life changes that make it more approachable to newcomers. Mario RPG veterans will appreciate the series of post-game fights that really test your prowess. Beyond those additions and tweaks, Super Mario RPG on Switch plays very similarly as the iconic original on Super Nintendo. The excellent turn-based combat still feels great today, the characters and writing are heartfelt and humorous, and the world design still has that classic Nintendo charm.
"Super Mario RPG is one of the wildest games in Nintendo's catalog. Loaded with eccentric characters like a Santa-esque big bad, random bouts of dark comedy--Toad cosplayers tickle as a form of torture and a four-eyed dog swallows you whole and comments on the taste--and moment-to-moment gameplay that is as raucous as it is eclectic, Super Mario RPG memorably capped off the SNES lifecycle," Steven Petite wrote in GameSpot's Super Mario RPG review. "Fittingly, the new Switch version is one of the weirdest remasters I've ever played. Its surface-level appearance as a modern Mario game is merely a facade. Relentlessly faithful to the original, Super Mario RPG is a bold and largely successful experiment."
