      @ruckage Mario rpg is by far the best game on the SNES Imo. I'm generally not one for rpgs either but I can play Mario rpg all day long.

        I've never actually played any of the Mario RPG games - I should really try them sometime. I'm not a great fan of most console RPG games though, I find most of them a bit tedious

        I would recommend Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga, it is an RPG. But that is a loose definition. It is one of the funniest games I've played in a while.

          I'll definately give it a go, it's good to try something different sometimes. I've never played Paper Mario either.

            Is that the GBA one? I'll give that a try as well - will be an excuse to play on my GBA SP.

              @ruckage yup. I might be biased, but I find superstar saga to be even better crafted than Mario RPG. Let us know what you think when you try it out! ;)

                @ruckage unless you want cramped hands, emulate it

                  Never had a problem with cramped hands playing on GBA SP, it's nice to play on original hardware sometimes.

                            I'll add it to my to play list - I have a feeling I'll have many hours of gaming with all these titles.

                            That thing never appealed to me, just too small to be practical - it looks like it would be awful to play on. It has a nice screen though apparently. It's a shame the GBA SP AGS-101 was never released here as the front light on GBA SP is the only thing that lets it down a bit. I do have a Ds-lite for playing GBA games on as well though if I want a brighter screen.

                              @ruckage There is a remake coming to the 3DS later this year, you might want that instead.

                                I don't have a 3DS sadly, not enough games on it really appealed to me to justify the cost (though Luigi's Mansion does make it tempting).

                                      @lilbud Yeah, I saw it! The Dream Team artwork with the Superstar Saga story and mechanics... sounds very interesting!

                                          @dankcushions I allways wanted a GBA model based on that design but at the size of screen as the SP, maybe cold Gameboy Advance XL, a mix between modern design and the original GBA

                                            Hey there, forgive me if this has been addressed already, but I recently updated RetroPie and for some reason, the NES mini theme is acting a tad weird. When you select a system, the titles are misaligned with the boxes.

                                            Is there a fix to this available? Thanks.
