Square Enix has announced that a vinyl and CD soundtrack for Super Mario RPG will release on April 9. The soundtrack is available to order via CD Japan. Three versions will be available: a 4-disc CD set with music from the SNES and Switch versions (8,250 yen), and a 4-disc vinyl LP set (17,600 yen). 61 tracks from both the SNES and Switch versions will be available in the 4-disc CD set. There’s also a 2-disc set with just the Nintendo Switch soundtrack (3,850 yen).
Nintendo and Square Soft originally released Super Mario RPG in 1996 on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. For years, fans have asked for a port of the game to modern hardware, however, licensing issues between Nintendo and Square Enix have prevented that from ever being a reality…until now. Mario RPG is finally available on the Nintendo Switch with a remake that rebuilds the original title from the ground up for both fans and newcomers alike.
