In a surprising twist during the Nintendo Direct, a Super Mario RPG remake was announced — sending older gamers' heartstrings to be pulled en masse around the world. So to shepherd the Mario flock in the right direction, we have everything you need to know about the Super Mario RPG release date, pre-order and latest news.
Originally released in 1996 and developed by Squaresoft – Super Mario RPG was a smash hit for Nintendo, and its success surprised even them as it went on to become the sixth best-selling game of 1996.
It’s no small wonder, then, that Nintendo would want to recapture that magic and pay homage to the beloved RPG by remaking it with new life breathed into its presentation whilst respecting the original’s plot and gameplay with the latter being somewhat revised to suit modern players.
With all that said and so much nostalgia at stake, read on to get the latest on everything Super Mario RPG!
The release date for Super Mario RPG is 11th November 2023. This is only a few days before the Switch version of Hogwarts Legacy arrives, so it will be interesting to see how to two compare to one another in sales.

Nostalgic fans of the original are sure to pick it up, as, if the Resident Evil remakes have taught us anything, people will part with a lot of their money to relive their youth.
