Nintendo Switch Online: 10 More SNES Games It Desperately Needs
6. Super Mario RPG: Legend Of The Seven Stars
Mario has proven himself one of the more pliable gaming mascots in video game history. He’s been able to turn his hand to kart racing, tennis, golf, party games and more as well as his 2D and 3D platforming adventures.
Between the Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi series he’s also starred in his fair share of RPGs. Unfortunately neither series has had a new installement for Switch. The last Mario based RPG was a remake of Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story for 3DS.
It’s a shame then that Nintendo missed the opportunity to remind us of Mario’s original RPG adventure, Super Mario RPG: The Legend of the Seven Stars.
It’s also a pity because currently Breath of Fire is the only RPG in the SNES Online line up. It’s pretty good but when it comes to RPGs on SNES pretty good isn’t enough. The console was home to some of the greatest RPGs of all time but the selection on Switch doesn’t reflect that.
For Super Mario RPG Nintendo turned to RPG masters Square, of Final Fantasy fame. Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto was also heavily involved. The results were so successful fans have been hoping for a proper sequel ever since. It’s time Nintendo reminded Switch owners why.
