A classic! I really enjoyed that game... I would download it to play it again. :3

The game is still good, but by today's standard, it's nothing special. Sure, it's cheap, but I still find it a bit overated here by IGN.

Nintendo/Square Enix did a genious by sending this to VC - in less than 2 weeks, it clocked in more than 3/4 of a million dollars revenue.

There's also the ability to play it on PC and PSP whenever I feel like it.

I don't see why everyone is upset IGN reviews old games released on the VC, the games are graded on a different scale, mostly based on how great they are for that console and how well they stood the test of time. SMRPG is well deserving of a 9.5 it's the third best RPG on the SNES close behind Earthbound and FFIV (which should be on the VC ASAP)

Stealing games is not a valid alternative to paying Nintendo's reasonable prices.

Really great game! My favorite Mario RPG. I remember renting it with my brother and cousin. We played it all day long and managed to beat the game in the two days rental time (maybe we played a bit too much!!)

They only recently put FFIV on the DS, and about two years before, on the GBA.  If it does show up on the VC (which is unlikely), it probably won't happen until Square-Enix runs out of ways to make money remaking it.

...because ssj12 loves when you quote him, and then brag about pirating stuff.

This game deserve that score.

I enjoyed this game back in the day, but I never enjoyed it as much as Super Mario World, FF IV or FF VI.

Edit: Oh and definately not as much as Shaddow Run. <- My favorite SNES game.
