The Super Mario RPG remake has seemingly leaked online ahead of launch later this week.
Nintendo dataminer OatmealDome first took to Twitter last week, November 10, to reveal they'd been informed of Nintendo's new remake having leaked online. They could even apparently reveal which version of the Unity game engine Super Mario RPG uses, which is pretty compelling evidence for them having peaked behind the curtain of the new game.
[Super Mario RPG]The game has leaked to the Internet.It runs on the Unity engine (version 2021.3.15f1).Nintendo’s internal codename for the game is “Stella”.If you don’t want to see spoilers, implement spoiler avoidance measures now.(thanks @Arid_04)November 10, 2023
It's worth noting that there's comments circulating online which claim OatmealDome confirms brand new gameplay features have been added to the remake (on Reddit in particular). That's not the case, however - OatmealDome's follow-up tweet merely hypothesizes that new stuff could have been added to Super Mario RPG in the remake, and isn't confirmation at all.
What we do know is that, against all odds, Super Mario RPG somehow retains the original game's dirtiest joke. If you were planning on rifling through Princess Peach's belongings in in the new game later week, maybe stop and think about the consequences of your actions before you go rummaging where you shouldn't.
The Super Mario RPG remake launches later this week on Friday, November 17, reviving the classic spin-off that debuted a whole 27 years ago and kickstarted a series of Mario spin-offs. For what we made of the new remake when we played it for ourselves, you can head over to our full Super Mario RPG preview for more.
