The revival of Mario RPG's, what's next for the spinoffs?

Hi Digibutter! First post on here in a lot time, I had another account years ago that I can’t remember the name of, but i’m back!

I wanted to talk about the recent revival of Mario RPG’s in the last 2 years starting with Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope all the way to the upcoming Mario & Luigi Brothership!

It’s great seeing Super Mario RPG, Paper Mario, Mario & Luigi and Mario + Rabbids all having great new entries and remakes with original characters, locations, and new ideas!

It was weird as a kid going from the grand fantastical stories of stuff like Super Paper Mario and Bowser’s Inside Story, to the fairly bland NSMB-like stories and worlds of Sticker Star, Paper Jam, and practically every other Mario spinoff from 2012-2016. Starting with Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, things have gotten better and better!

Who else is excited for Mario & Luigi Brothership? Would you like to see games like Partners in Time and Super Paper Mario get their very own remakes too? Let me know your thoughts!

Welcome back Tyler! Nice to meet you, I’m Chaos_Kat. I’m excited for Brothership too. The last M&L game I played was Dream Team, and while I loved the concept, I was definitely feeling some series fatigue around then. I’m sure Paper Jam had some great stuff, but Brothership’s really revived my intrigue in a special way. I love the art direction they’re going with it.

I’d love to see M&L: PiT and SPM both get revisited! As much as it pains me to say it, I see PiT as the likelier candidate. SPM is the perfect time capsule of the era it released in, and maybe it has to stay that way (but I don’t care. I want a remake anyway). I demand to see HD O’Chunks fartblasting to the heavens.
