    I loved it when it came out and would definitely play through it again, but I’m not sure prettier graphics and a few tweaks is worth $60 to me. Since Nintendo doesn’t let their first party games ever get down to a reasonable cost after a while, I’ll skip this one, I think.

    If you’ve never played it, though, it’s a really fun game.

    I’m still unsure if I should go for the remake or just play the original. There don’t seem to be many changes apart from making the game easier by adding more bonus mechanics and an easy mode.

      Save state and cheat codes in emulation do make make the older games easier, just depends on how much you care about modern additions like updated graphics and mechanics.

    It’s a great pity this game will be exclusive to the Switch. I have a Steam Deck and would like the game to be available through the Steam Store. I heard great things about it but didn’t get a chance to play the original on the SNES.

      Well, there are ways. You could buy a switch copy if it makes you feel better.

        Emulation is completely legal. I modded my switch and extracted my own keys and dumped my own games.

        It is not super easy at first, but if you’re a bit technically inclined, you will be fine.

        Now I play them on my steam deck with yuzu or ryujinxz it just depends on which game I’m playing.

            I figured why not use my own keys and dump my Own games. It’s easy enough to do and there are only a few switch games that I care to have. So I didn’t need to dump too many.

      I loved it! I just happened to get sick from school the week my mom rented it for me. 🫢

      I wonder why they never continued to use any of the characters like Mallow.

        The character rights are shared with square enix

          Maybe that the reason, but i would imagine, it wouldn’t be impossible to gt the rigts for the characters. It is known that miyamoto doesn’t like new created characters in mario games

            Mallow and Geno both have been in Smash, so I can’t imagine they are locked down tight or anything.
