Earthbound perhaps... was Parasol Stars release on the TG-16 in Europe? Can't seem to remember.

Whoa!
This could open some good precedent since its a Square game... I honestly doubted it would ever come out for VC.

Awesome. Almost as awesome as me having 800 points and the game being 900 points. And I'm broke so no more points for me atm

Wow that is a VC megaton (since it was hard to say whether SMRPG VC would ever leave Japan). Hmm.. I have the cartridge already but might double-dip if it comes to the US. One of Shimomura's masterpieces for sure.

Don't know why this hasn't been posted yet, but it looks like Europe/Aussies got Super Mario RPG and Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels for this Friday...according to that awesome censored Nintendo-Go site.

Interesting to see Lost Levels back. I really have no clue why they even made it limited in the first place, it made no sense.
Anyway, I started out being cautiously optimistic that we might see a Mario RPG + Ys 1&2 week come Monday, but then I realized that could never happen.

So are we going to see this within the next month or does NoA hate everyone still?

Hey guys, there is this game up on the Wii in Europe - its apparently a Mario game, except you don't scroll from the left to the right, but see him -above- in an isometric view. And you don't just press A to jump on the goombas, you actually have to choose options on how to battle them, and some battles can take a while. For some reason I have seen some preview screenshots online (yes, the review websites apparently got this game very early for a change) show Bowser actually helping you. I would be surprised if anyone would like this disgrace to the Mario franchise.
Oh, and there is some advanced DLC level pack for Super Mario Bros called "Lost Levels". Expensive, though - it cost more than the base game.

Now with this and with Chrono Trigger DS arriving soon, only Earthbound awaits as the last of the great RPG Holy Grails to arrive in Europe.
And America is still waiting for Tingle RPG and Terranigma on VC.
And Earthbound.

Wow, after 13 years, Europe finally gets Super Mario RPG!
I'm just glad to finally see it get the European release it deserved back in the day! (Course I've already imported the game, but it's still good to see!)

So I never played SMRPG, is it an RPG in the vein of PM/M&L? Or more of a classic JRPG?

Yeah the gameplay is the very foundation of PM/M&L. The music is in the same style as M&L 1 + 2 (Same composer) and the atmosphere feels like a mixture between PM and Final Fantasy.
Get it without question, it's a steal on VC! (Especially if you check out the ebay prices, ugh!)

It's more classic JRPG. It's my least favorite of the Mario RPG series, but maybe it's because I don't like RPGs much.

The battles are more RPGish than the Paper Mario series, probably moreso like Mario & Luigi but without so much of the focus on clever button tricks (although it does have the Timed Attacks thing that predated the ones in Paper Mario). It probably has by far the most number of secrets and hidden treats out of all the Mario RPG games, including a very hard Final Fantasy boss cameo.
It's definitely got more shades of Final Fantasy than the other games, for obvious reasons. Also some of the designs feel comparatively un-Mario this day and age, which isn't helped much by the 3D computer generated characters. It feels like the ugly stepchild of the series in terms of relevance to the Mario series as a whole.
However, it's still a fantastic game. The game is funny and entertaining, there's loads of stuff to do and minigames to play, Yoko Shimomura's music shines as bright as ever and it's just a great fun RPG to play. It's definitely one I'd recommend for everybody
who isn't a US-only Wii owner
Definitely go get it.
I have avoided this thread for quite some time now because I'm grumpy as all hell due to continued space constraints.
Now this.
Arrrgh. Must delete stuff... but... matter of principle... gah.
Super Mario RPG, of all things. Do so freaking want. I shall spend the rest of the day furiously rearranging my fridge.
