I’m certainly late to the party, but… I’m honestly not a fan of the remake so far?
The animations are way too slow and smooth, it completely misses what made the humor work. The squat models still feel like they’re missing the personality of the originals, Bowser in particular just looks like the same old Bowser we’ve always had.
Also weird to me they renamed Frogfucious to Frog Sage. Like… what on earth was the point of that? In fact, it seems like they’ve made loads of little name changes like that…
I dunno, it just seems a little flat. I absolutely love the original, and I certainly wouldn’t say this remake ruins anything about the original. But I would say the original remains the definitive way I would advise anyone to experience the game, because the new version just totally compromises the humor which is so integral to the game.
