Super Mario RPG is one of my favorite games of all time. It was formative for me, and actually the first RPG I ever played. And this year, it's getting a remake on the Switch!
Unlike, say, Final Fantasy VII Remake, this appears to be an update to the original game that seems to preserve most of the gameplay - you'll still be wandering around an isometric Mushroom Kingdom and going into separate battle areas when you encounter a foe. But seeing Mallow and Geno updated to modern graphics nearly 30 years onward is really exciting!
Mario is also getting a new side-scrolling game called Super Mario Wonder, which is... well, it's a classic side-scrolling Mario game, but the twist on this appears to be that it's the most explicitly psychedelic the series has gotten since the "Touch Fuzzy, Get Dizzy" level in Yoshi's Island.
2023 seems to be a banner year for game releases.
