Post
Nintendo and Square's old SNES oddity returned with enough care to feel like reverence instead of extraction.
The 2023 remake keeps the original's bones but modernizes the presentation, interface, and battle readability for a new audience. It respects the weird little tone that made the SNES release memorable rather than sanding it flat.
Example
Geno fans treated the remake almost like a diplomatic event after decades of 'will Nintendo ever touch this again?' uncertainty.
Why it matters
It matters because it reopens one of the most beloved corners of Mario RPG history and signals that Nintendo is increasingly willing to curate that legacy actively.
