Super Mario RPG Goes to the Virtual Console in Japan in June. Is NA next?

[Gogo]

I can save my 900 Wii Points!

I bought it for $70 back in 1996.

[Karellen]

It's been released!

























In Europe.

[Yar]

I just played my SNES copy like, last night.

If you've never played this game, you are really missing out.

Wasn't it never released in Europe? Maybe that's why they got it now.

[Elskidor]

Any news on if it's going to reach the states?

[ReloadPsi]

Europe finally got it!? We got screwed out of Mario RPG, Chrono Trigger and the early FF titles (initially).

Damn you Square!

Apparently it hit the Vitual Console today in North America. I haven't checked, but that's pretty great news. :)

I tried to buy it for my brother on the Wii, but since I totally forgot my PIN at the ATM yesterday, it won't let me buy it. Bank is closed, too. Damn, Labor Day!

Wait, it's on the virtual console? Yay!

[Hyperion4444]

I was already playing the game on SNES.
Good to know the Wii has it.
Has there been any modifications done to it?
Are the Characters Stats been improved?

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

Games on the Virtual Console are identical to their original versions. That's the whole appeal.

[Roto13]

Pokemon Snap added the ability to export your pictures to the Wii message board.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

That was really just an emulation of the ability to print your photographs as stickers in the original release.

Not that there aren't exceptions: Sin & Punishment, originally a Japan exclusive, had all its text translated when it was released for the American VC. And Nintendo made minor edits to games like The Legend of Zelda, too. But these were all cosmetic changes and had nothing to do with how the games play.

...is this the perfect moment to post this awesome video?
