Issue #68: The ABCs of RPGs – November/December 2023

For this NF issue, we took our cue from the upcoming release of Super Mario RPG's fancy new Switch remake, and turned our spotlight on the RPG genre as a whole. We've got reviews of RPGs like Sea of Stars, the full set of Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters, Baten Kaitos I & II HD Remaster and the Teal Mask DLC for Pokémon Scarlet & Violet. We've got RPG previews for titles like Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince, Ys X: Nordics and, of course, Super Mario RPG itself. We've got RPG-inspired comics, an RPG-themed book review or two and an exclusive interview with Yu Suzuki . . . who I don't think has ever really done much with RPGs. So hey, the theme isn't all-encompassing, but it comes close.

And how about that reveal of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door also getting a snazzy new remake coming soon? It's another RPG golden age on the Switch, I'm declaring it now!
