Player Two Start: An SNES-CD Timeline

[Cataquack Warrior]

Is Super Mario RPG under development (OTL it came out in 1996)? It was a great game, marking the start of Mario-based RPGs, and I'm interested to see what changes are made to it. Perhaps they can make the game controls a little less awkward. In addition, maybe the storyline could be improved.

Might be interesting if they bring in some of the unused enemies or battle formations. Plus, there were some licensing issues with Square that kept a lot of interesting characters from making later appearance in other games. On a similar note, those issues held back the sequel until it was redesigned into Paper Mario.

Also, it might be interesting if the game does more character interactions and development like Seven Seas; Mario's silent pantomimes are fun, but this would be a good opportunity to give more character to Bowser and Peach, not to mention new characters like Mallow and Geno.

Super Mario RPG is in development and on track for a summer 1996 release in North America. We've yet to decide on how many changes the game will have from OTL but I've got a few ideas. Probably won't change TOO much but if one of us gets a burst of inspiration, you never know.

Already announced at E3 1995, as part of Nintendo's year of the RPG.

 

[Cataquack Warrior]

Sorry, missed that. Look forward to seeing what happens. I don't mind if not too much is changed, as it was already a great game, but I'm also interested in seeing what new things you come up with.

 

[Golden Darkness]

My guess? Voices for the main cast and maybe more accurate localization of Mario terms.

Maybe make Peach's castle resemble its depiction introduced in OTL Mario 64.

The future of Mario RPGs should be interesting to see in any case.

 

[Cataquack Warrior]

I hope that still have Mario pantomime; it's a fun tradition that I've enjoyed in the various games.

And yeah, the future of Mario-style RPGs should prove to be interesting, especially since Square and Sony are still working with Nintendo.

Super Mario RPG won't have voices, of 1996's "Big Four" RPGs, only Chrono Trigger and Tale Phantasia will be voiced.

Not even grunts? I wasn't expecting voiced dialogue. I just figured since Mario already has voiced grunts with Super Mario World 2

 

[Pyro]

Now THIS is interesting, because I didn't even think about the Tokyo sarin attacks and how they would go ITTL. I know that A Giant Sucking Sound did something REALLY nasty with Aum Shinrikyo (they nuked Nagoya 0_0), but obviously I wouldn't go anywhere near that THAT far with them. I'll have to address it at some point but as of right now Turbo is unchanged.

Ah, yeah. I read A Giant Sucking Sound a year or two ago.

As for Power Rangers, I have an few ideas for Turbo.

Mmm....well, there's still a while yet before we get to it, so maybe. I mean we'll probably have vocal sounds like in SMW2, sure.

Maybe Like Mario & Luigi when both make nonsensical noises(well some of those are actual italian words just out of context) and words for the spells? they can use Mario VA(in both sides of pacific) for all males voices and a girl for peach, will cost little to nothing and work flawesly. But ideas ideas, thanks for all those, 1996 will be a year i think all here wanted to be OTL,.

I wish TTL's September 4, 1995 was OTL, I would have RUSHED home from 3rd grade that day

I don't understand all the hipe about the death of the Sailor Guardians at the end of the first season.

When I first saw the dub in the 90's they clearly showed their death scenes.

They cut an entire episode from the first season in order to whitewash the death scenes. They took the last two episodes and spliced them into one. It was a butcher job.

 

[Goldwind2]

So Saban's translation of Sailor Moon resulted in the beetleborgs being butterflied awayed. I hope my favorite Saban show Samurai Pizzia Cats dosn't get butterflyed away. RySenkari do like the idea the pizza cats apearpigm Tatsunoko VS Capcomp

What? I remember watching both of them. I clearly remember watching the death scenes as well.

When did they do this?

I loved Samurai Pizza Cats. However what it was a show where the entire english dialogue had to be made up since they lost the transcripts. Or maybe it was that they lost the translations. Anyway, point is, if they make it more faithful to the original Japanese series then it won't be how we remember it.

Did we watch the same dub? I watched the DiC versions, the ones they dubbed in Toronto and aired on Toonami in the late 90s.

See how they combined episodes 45 and 46 into "Day Of Destiny"?

...Well Fuck.

First time seeing this. They didn't do that when they showed the anime in Lima.

I heard the Latin American dubs were a LOT better, you guys are lucky We're only just now getting the uncut Blu-Rays here in the States and they are expensive as hell.

You're Peruan AN9, we're neighboors them, and yeah we got the superior version of sailor moon alongside dragon ball(and dragon quest anime too)

Yeah, as we got directly from japan to mexico/peru/argentina to be dubbed, thus was mostly uncut, something did were 'censored' but those were the reimported dvd version.
