For years I thought the Disk-kun doll was supposed to be a toy Goomba or something because it's barely fricking legible in the original, so yes I do like not having to use my imagination in this case.
I wonder, did that one Mario fansite of Super Mario Broth ever look at this and got the references right, or is this possibly the first time it's actually being noticed?
I recall looking at it in a recentish playthrough and I couldn't see shit, except Samus of course
) but then it got pruned, maybe the OP will see it here:
Your friend isn't going to play the original game, he is going to play the remake and only the remake because some people are just never going to appreciate older works if there is a newer version, regardless of the quality of either. Whether it is lack of taste or lack of IQ, normies would rather play the game on the right than the game on the left. Yes, I'm serious. They cannot appreciate what the left is going for and extrapolate it in their brains, instead they gravitate towards the right simply because it's higher frequency. As for music, SNES instruments don't sound like flutes, violins, saxophones, et cetera and so similarly threaten them.
TL;DR somebody who cannot be convinced quickly and easily with logic to play the original game will not play the original game, because if they were logical then the logic would penetrate them.
If somebody is an adult gamer with interest in old games and has still yet to try the original game, chances are good they either don't have much of an interest in it, or wouldn't have even heard about it without the remake. Some people will play the remake and want to check out the original, some people will play the remake and never check out the original, but without the remake, a lot of people from both camps would never have tried out the game in any form.
As for the remaster image, this clearly had more effort put into it than your typical lazy HD upscale.
Super Mario RPG was an absolutely dead game that only gained minor attention in mainstream modern gaming circles when the usual Geno fans lobbied to have him included in Smash Bros. I'm just glad that this remake offers a glimmer of hope that Nintendo will continue to do things with the Mario RPG world and characters.
I'd much rather have a good old game stay good and old than have it be exhumed and have its corpse danced around like Weekend at Bernie's.
There's a kind of dignity in being a charming old game that people still go back to and explore and fall in love with. Each new version that tries to "improve" the game chips away at that dignity.
Have you tried looking at those original sprites being displayed on a consumer CRT by a real Super Nintendo? I never had to question if that was Samus, Peach, or a car with eyes. The puzzle piece could have been anything. I just imagined it as another toy peeking out.
interesting, i like not having to use my imagination anymore
this, devs relying on player's imagination is a lazy, dishonest art style with forced soul

>remake uses Prime Samus
Ruined.
It’s actually Other M Samus
I wish it was Prime Samus though since the design in that one is closer to the Super Metroid suit
Other M is shit but the power suit in this game is fricking S E X
This is one remake where I'm okay with the soulless graphical upgrade because the original game looked like fricking shit anyway.
The original looks great
I played it a little when I was a kid but I tried it again for the first time in a long time last night and it's gorgeous on a CRT
>because the original game looked like fricking shit
These are obvious homages to what's in the original you moron

Hate to break it to you, anon, but that OP was a gay.

>The puzzle piece
It's Diskun, the Famicom Disk System mascot.
its clearly a goomba in the original
goombas have mean eyebrows, that ain't no goomba
Peachiquita
This remake looks ugly square already understood the chibi graphics in the 90's with FF9 and nintendo is still having trouble with them.
