Super Mario RPG arrives in November for Nintendo Switch

For those who are not aware, the classic entry, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, is one of the most beloved RPGs of all time. Its remake, however, will be known as just Super Mario RPG. The original was launched more than two decades ago on the SNES platform. It was the final Mario game that was published for the old system. It was helmed by Chihiro Fujioka and Yoshihiko Maekawa, and produced by Shigeru Miyamoto. The score was composed by Yoko Shimomura.

The story follows the protagonist Mario and his friends who go up against Smithy who crashes into their world and steals the seven star pieces of Star Road. Not to mention that this installment was also the first role-playing game in Nintendo’s Mario universe.
