Nintendo Wants To Know What You Think About Mario RPGs
04.04.2024 - 02:27 / thegamer.com / Nintendo
Super Mario fans have been enjoying a resurgence in RPGs at the moment, with the remake of Super Mario RPG that launched last year and the upcoming release of a Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door remaster that's coming next month. It's pretty clear that Nintendo has been diving into Mario's RPG offerings to see what fans still like, and a recent survey has suggested that it may not be done just yet.
First shared by Reddit user Aspharon on the Mario subreddit, it seems as though Nintendo is currently gauging the opinions of fans who have experience with the various Mario RPG series that have been released across multiple systems, including Paper Mario, Super Mario RPG, and the criminally underrated Mario & Luigi series on the Nintendo DS (thanks GamesRadar).
Questions in the survey include things like asking fans what their favorite Mario RPG series is, their favorite battle systems, what features they expect to see in a Mario RPG, and whether they like it when new characters are introduced, or whether they'd rather them stick with the old cast. None of this obviously points to more RPGs in the future, but Nintendo wouldn't be asking these questions if it didn't want to know the answers.
That hasn't stopped some fans from getting rather excited on social media, pointing to this as proof that some cult classic RPGs are returning. If you're frantically checking your email inbox to join the legions of people calling for more RPGs in an attempt to shove your opinions in Nintendo's face, you're out of luck if you're not European. Currently, only those from countries in Europe have been given this survey right now, though we can probably expect it to go out to more territories pretty soon.
It would be pretty surprising if we didn't get any more Mario RPGs after the release of the Thousand-Year Door remaster, especially with how well Super Mario RPG Remake sold last year, having comfortably outsold the original and on track to become the best-selling Mario RPG to date. While we may not get something like a new Mario & Luigi game, what with it being trapped on the DS, the future of Mario RPGs is certainly looking bright.

Mario Kart 8 Study Claims to Have Found the Best Racer and Kart Combo in the Game
A Mario Kart 8 Deluxe study has found the best combination of playable character and customizable vehicle build, with the most optimal option being Peach with a Teddy Buggy. The Mario Kart franchise has had a history of character tiers, where certain playable characters end up outclassing others in the game. These tiers are usually based on the most optimal character to hit the top speed, accelerate, and handle on the track. Heavyweight characters have traditionally been the most common choice for expert Mario Kart players, as seen with characters like Bowser in Super Mario Kart or Funky Kong and the Flame Runner in Mario Kart Wii.

Nintendo to Skip Gamescom, Raising Questions About their Reveal Schedule Ahead of Switch 2
Gamescom may be the most significant gaming convention and trade show in Europe (and probably the world following the death of E3), but Nintendo is a bit hit-and-miss with their attendance. They skipped 2022, but they were there in 2023, and, in fact, it was rumored they may have shown the Switch 2 for the first time behind closed doors while there. Unfortunately, it seems we won’t be getting a repeat in 2024, as Nintendo has confirmed they’ll be skipping the show in a statement provided to Eurogamer…
