Super Mario RPG (Wii Virtual Console)

image

It sounds almost unthinkable now, but long, long ago on a Super Nintendo far, far away, gaming giants Nintendo and Square joined forces to bring Super Mario RPG to life. It combines Square's usual solid mastery of turn-based RPG action with the colorful characters and world of Super Mario. What's not to love? The game is lighthearted in spirit but huge in scope; you probably won't track down all of its secrets on your first playthrough, either. The Paper Mario games may have picked up Mario's RPG ball and run with it, but for classic, old school, RPG action, you simply can't beat the original, now available on the Wii's Virtual Console.
