  21-06-2023 23:45 via gamesradar.com
  
  Super Mario RPG is getting a proper remake, and some of the changes are so subtle I can't believe fans are already managing to catalog them.The Super Mario RPG remake appears to largely be faithful to the Super NES original, just with modern 3D graphics replacing the pre-rendered visuals of the original game. A two-second-long clip of the trailer shows a boss battle against the characters Dodo and Valentina. The latter has had her not-so-subtle breast jiggle effect removed, but that's not the on
