Huh. I just noticed something.

Bad Sources in development section
I have read "Epic News" in Nintendo Power issue 77, pages 26-29, and so many citations pull from this article, that don't occur in the article at all. Citation 21, supposedly about a 60% completed game with turned based mario characters weilding weapons, cites this article, and this article says that they had a 70% completed game that played more like Zelda Link to the past.

This source was used correctly at other times in the article, but a large number of the citations all come from this Nintendo Power article, that does not cover what is stated. 64.33.139.18 (talk) 00:33, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

Seperate page or section for the Remake?
Leaving and left under Legacy seems like an odd choice as it's a completely new build, new developers, minor changes from the original version, etc. 2603:3020:2102:5400:48A9:43A6:88B6:F8BF (talk) 13:39, 19 November 2023 (UTC)


 * We should only create a new page if there is sufficient stuff to write about based on coverage in reliable secondary sources to justify it. (That might be the case, I haven't checked.) Popcornfud (talk) 14:32, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
 * That’s just lazy. 2600:1017:B000:A5D2:509C:E087:D8E0:1801 (talk) 23:46, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
 * You're more than welcome (and capable) to write up a separate article for the remake yourself. ThomasO1989 (talk) 02:10, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I think that if the remake gets its own page, this page's name should be changed to "Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars" since that's the full name of the original and the remake takes the plain "Super Mario RPG" name. 136.54.66.53 (talk) 23:40, 20 November 2023 (UTC)

Split request for the "Remake" section
Support - The remake clearly has significant coverage from independent and reliable sources, as shown from this WP:VG/RS-oriented Google search. — Davest3r08 > : )  (talk)  21:25, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Tell that to people like lazy TommyO. 2600:1017:B009:F8E5:EC3F:694D:9CDA:2EA3 (talk) 02:06, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
 * 2600:1017:B009:F8E5:EC3F:694D:9CDA:2EA3, please do not make personal attacks towards other users. — Davest3r08 > : )  (talk)  02:13, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

Oppose - The Switch remake, aside from some extra content, is pretty much a faithful remake of the original SNES release. Everything about the remake could be talked about here on the article, much like how ProtoDrake did with his work on the Live A Live article. Roberth Martinez (talk) 21:52, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

Oppose for now. The right way to do this is to use the sources to expand the section in the existing article. If it gets to a point where there's a lot of good content and the section is getting big, then split the article. Popcornfud (talk) 22:39, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

Oppose - Metroid Prime: Remastered is a section within the original Metroid Prime article. - Richiekim (talk) 21:28, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

GA breadth
To meet the GA criterion for breadth, the article really needs to be updated with the calvalcade of new sources on the remake's reception. czar 12:50, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

Remake Sales
You forgot to add in the sales of the remake, which sold 3.14 Million units, surpassing the lifetime sales of the original game. GuyUser81 (talk) 05:53, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
