Geno (♥♪!?): Return of the Starsend Savior

[MattX20]

We could end up getting the ARMS presentation sometime this month, with it's release being announced for early next month. If they do such a thing, do you all think that Fighter 7 will be shown off during the presentation (this month), a potential ton of Nintendo news (next month), or would they save it for a direct (around September).

I personally think that even if we get a potential presentation this month, we'll still be waiting until next month to see Fighter 7 news. The only exception I can see being is if they just namedrop the series the character is from, but there isn't that many series that could be applied to successfully.

Speaking of which, how would you all feel if they just said that Fighter 7 is "from the Mario series"?

I seriously doubt they're going to do that bit twice. The guessing of who the ARMS fighter is most likely the only time they're doing this

Speaking of which, how would you all feel if they just said that Fighter 7 is "from the Mario series"?

... I don't want to spend 2 months with people bickering over who it could be , it was already a mess with ARMS lol.

Especially since ARMS is focused within 10 characters in a single game , the Mario franchise is massive. You have Waluigi , King Boo , Paper Mario , Fawful , Captain Toad , Pauline , and of course , Geno.
It's less problematic with ARMS since in the end , no matter who you pick , they all bring something similar in the end. While every Mario rep would bring something vastly different.

I really admire how much you support Geno and the Super Mario RPG community like this as a whole. I'm going to make a donation later today as well to celebrate the 24th! Even if we don't get Geno in the end, seeing stuff like Operation StarFall and this whole Starlight Children's Foundation thing is amazing. So many great things being accomplished and so many good things associated with our character. That in itself makes this whole journey worth the wait.

Fun fact as well, Operation StarFall entered a hospital gown design for the same foundation's Annual Design-A-Gown even and they managed to end up one of the selected winners. Can't explain how that happened but it's really awesome knowing Star Road has become some what of a symbol for recovery and optimism for kids in need.

Big ups to the finance department

You know , this kind of stuff is why I love this community. While I sadly can't give money , I always try my best to spread the word around.

nintendo is not invited at the moment and geoff keighley said on Reditt that if nintendo wants he will let them participate and we know how nintendo is. They will not participate

Yeah I had to find out the hard way unfortunately. Hopefully Nintendo will participate because we really need some Nintendo announcements. I don't mean to sound impatient, but this entire year has been dry for Nintendo. We need SOMETHING.

 

[CannonStreak]

It's nice to talk about Super Mario RPG's anniversary, and I do hope Geno does get announced soon, but my question from the last page was not really answered. I mean, what was that about the NateDrake stuff a few pages back? The one saying Nintendo news is coming this month, big Nintendo news? I have to know.

NateDrake is a credible insider on ResetEra, if hes talking about how there'll be Nintendo news, it wont be some small Twitter direct.

My current guesses are Pokemon Direct or a Mario event but, other then that, I'm also in the dark, I'll post more information if there's more to come.

A Mario direct would be cool but I don't want anymore Pokemon-specific directs this year, I don't really care for Pokemon personally.

Hello! Happy Mario RPG anniversary!

What do you think about the absence of tweets about the anniversary of Mario RPG by NoA or Square?

The only exception I can see being is if they just namedrop the series the character is from, but there isn't that many series that could be applied to successfully.

Speaking of which, how would you all feel if they just said that Fighter 7 is "from the Mario series"?

Sakurai said June and he's a pretty big stickler for not changing dates unless he absolutely has to and then he apologizes profusely as well as make this known months in advance. My personal prediction is that they're just going to do a Smash Direct based on past precedent. Why?

-Smash is an attention black hole and Nintendo is very aware of this. When Nintendo attaches something Smash, no matter how vague or small, to a presentation it tends to steal the show. This is why Smash presentations are even a thing and, Ultimate being on its second year of DLC, they're probably wanting it to not hog the spotlight as much. Truth be told, it is kind of unfair to other developers and why I think they'll just do a separate presentation.

-In 2015, Smash 4 was on its third E3. Nintendo decided to do a separate Smash presentation that year to give focus to other games.

-Covid-19 has honestly wrecked a lot to the point that Sakurai now has to make presentations at home pretty much by himself. I will be genuinely surprised if we get seperate showcases for everyone like the Fighter's Pass got. I think they're going to consolidate to some degree and reduce Season 2 to maybe 3 presentations.

-The bar is set incredibly low to where getting at least two character announcements by the end of the summer is a basic expectation. I'm guessing three, four if my theory about multiple bonus characters winds up being right. I say this because 6 was already half introduced and the last two times this happened, 2015 and 2018, we ended up getting two other characters with them. Like I've pointed out in the past, 6 of the 8 E3s where Smash had a presence had at least three character announcements so it's not too far flung of a prediction.

-Smash reveals at E3 have been shown to be pretty deliberate, often bringing along at least one universally wanted character and one that really resonates with Western audiences. For example, 2018 had Ridley and 2019 had Banjo. My theory is that we're getting two "Western" characters in Season 2 and this "E3" is definitely a litmus test for this theory. If we're getting any Western characters, my theory is that E3 is the definite place for the first, or possibly only, one of Season 2 to show up.

Happy 24th anniversary to SMRPG!

Today's my first day of summer break too so it's literally the perfect time to replay the game.

And man this thread just keeps getting longer and longer

I hope you'll have fun replaying through the game !
Maybe it's just me , but the game always felt very replayable. except the fact that you can skip the majority of Sunken Ship when you know the password lol

More or less my thoughts also. I have a hard time believing they would only do the ARMS fighter reveal and not try to keep the attention for the Fighter Pass beyond the summer

Happy 24th anniversary to Super Mario RPG! I always remember playing both Super Mario RPG and Super Mario 64 together around the time they were both released and enjoying both games, though I was especially fascinated with Super Mario RPG funny enough. Crazy to think all this time later we're here today still talking about it and even pushing for one of its characters for Smash. Really hope our time comes soon!

Happy 24° anniversary to Mario RPG and specifically, Geno! (USA release).

This man on the photo has an amazing collection of SuperMarioRPG. Congratz on his collection and credits to him for the photo. Just checking the #GenoForSmash or #GenoSquad on Instagram.

Hope that Nintendo say something about this 13th May cause this will be the year when Geno joins the battle!

Thanks lol. This stuff is as rare as it is expensive unfortunately. But it will be great when Geno finally makes it in and we get an Amiibo of him. That would be the first widely available piece of SMRPG merchandise outside of Japan I believe.

Okay, just checking. Thanks. I do hope this is going to be something Smash related, and if we're lucky, Geno gets shown in it.

 

[MisterMike]

What's this about NateDrake? Did he say something interesting?

He seemed to have hinted at something big coming from Nintendo rather soon-ish.

Some big Nintendo News is happenings this month. This guy is very credible and was correct about a lot of things like how there will be a direct on the 26th.

Pokemon, Smash, Mario Remasters, or, something completely different, your guess is as good as mine.

The ARMS announcement said the fighter would be revealed AND released in June, so this probably isn't happening.

 

[Polarthief]

He seemed to have hinted at something big coming from Nintendo rather soon-ish.

I wonder if "Soon enough" means "a month", like when E3 would have happened, since that's still pretty soon in the grand scheme of things, or if he means soon enough like "something this/next week in May".

If June is Smash month, it would make sense to make May the Mario month.

He did say it was this month soon.

 

[Enigma735]

I think their is a 40% chance that this ARMS rep could release early this month, as their is precedence of characters releasing or getting revealed earlier then intended. For example, the Plant was planned to release in February 2019, and ended up releasing in January. Banjo was scheduled for Fall, but ended up releasing in early September, which is still considered summer, and Byleth was planned for February 2020, but ended up releasing on January 28, 2020. I still think this ARMS rep is still scheduled for June, but I wouldn't put it past Sakurai to have him release earlier.

Funnily enough, I don't own the original cartridge or guide book yet, but I have a lot of cool stuff with some more things on the way. Happy 24th!

OMG I WANT THESE NOW. I never even knew these existed. Someone should show the detractors this merchandise to prove Mario RPG was more then just a forgotten game lol. That being said though, I still wish their was a Geno plush. Their are so many great custom Geno plushes that look really official and it makes me wish their really were an official plush. Hopefully we can get an official Amiibo soon though.

If there was an official Geno plush made in that set, it would be worth thousands of dollars, no joke. About a month or two ago there were separate auctions for the Mario and Yoshi plushes on Buyee, and they both sold for over $1,000. Here was the Mario one. I bowed out after it went above $200 lol.

[Droodle]

The ARMS announcement said the fighter would be revealed AND released in June, so this probably isn't happening.

There's always a slight possibility.

- Plant was scheduled for February but released late January.
- Banjo was meant to be released during fall 2019, but he came out a couple weeks prior, in late summer.
- The deadline for Byleth was February yet he got announced mid January, and released late January.

Now, I wouldn't place a bet and state that it IS being announced this month, but it wouldn't be surprising if they released a presentation in the last week of May. That is to say ARMS comes with a presentation in the first place.

Yeah true, although it would be nice at least knowing an official Geno plush exists. They did make an official Mallow plush that is extremely rare, [so rare that its only ever been shown on the internet TWICE], so I wish Geno had an official plush as well. :\

Happy anniversary to Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars! My first memory of it was seeing it on my big cousin's tv probably not too long after it came out. Me playing it that day is still so vivid in my mind. I can understand this thread's love for it & Geno; cause a lot of that passion is how I felt about Banjo-Kazooie. Hopefully this year is the year for y'all!

 

[Polarthief]

He did say it was this month soon.

*screaming* Hopefully next week. The wait has felt like forever.

You know, with all this support for Geno, I think we have pushed it to the limit.

In a very good way.

Come to think of it, I think this song kinda describes where we are now, and how hard we have been trying, and us overall, in a way.

Well Nintendo didn't say anything about SMRPG, but only because it'd be too obvious for sure.

 

[T2by4]

Now that I think about if Geno ain't #77 sakurai could just release Geno for his 25th birthday next year. Would really suck waiting that long but I can see Sakurai doing that.

 

[Sigran101]

The ARMS announcement said the fighter would be revealed AND released in June, so this probably isn't happening.

Well it wouldn't be later because it's going to be ready in June, but it could be earlier. Unless they were going to magically finish the day before it needs to be done for the direct, it'll likely be ready a decent way beforehand. And if the direct isn't happening and it's already ready, why not show it early?
