A lazy Labor Day with Super Mario RPG

By Spencer . September 1, 2008 . 9:13am

After 250 Wii-kly releases Super Mario RPG is finally here for only 800 Wii Points ($8). The price is sans Europe’s import tax and the unexplainable price hike Japan got. Today is a perfect day to spend leveling up Geno and working towards the fight with the ultimate boss. Clu Clu Land, a coin collecting NES puzzle game, and My Aquarium, a virtual aquarium for WiiWare, are the two other games this week. Each one will set you back 500 Wii Points ($5). Super Mario RPG fever probably means these will be overlooked, but only My Aquarium celebrates your birthday with dancing fish. How can you miss that?

I´m sure that a new Paper Mario will appear eventually, but I would really like to see a new Super Mario RPG from Nintendo, AlphaDream and S-E.

It doesn´t need to have the same characters or being a direct sequel, but just following the same style that SM RPG had. I liked Paper Mario (haven´t played the 2nd one yet), but it was far from being as good as SM RPG was for me.

I have also yet to try the Mario and Luigi games, but from what I´ve seen, those are also rather different than this masterpiece.
