    @OutofPrintArchive@mstdn.games That reminds me that I’ve been meaning to dig this out again! You know, in hindsight, this anticipated so many of the developments we’ve enjoyed over the last generation or two - the trend away from photorealism into imitating more analogue art forms graphically, ripping up the apparent rules of a genre and doing totally original stuff… makes you wonder if Nintendo were looking back at this when they made Mario Wonder.

      You really might be on to something there as Wonder is quite the department from previous entries and the rather stale “New” formula at this point in time.

      Still remember picking this up at launch for the SNES (and again the GBA).
      Such an incredible breath of fresh air and it showed how the SNES still had a ton of life in it even as the Saturn and PSone were just released here.

        @OutofPrintArchive@mstdn.games I’m pretty sure it was my last-acquired SNES game - either this or the much-lamented Unirally. I’ve got an odd memory gap about why I stopped playing it, on both consoles, but I have a feeling I especially didn’t get very far on GBA so it might be time to start fresh…
