Super Mario RPG is still loved by fans. Geno was frequently requested to play in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Nintendo appears to be moving Mario away from RPGs with paper Mario: The Origami King nearly has no RPG mechanics other than its turn-based battle system.
Super Mario RPG is available for the Wii U Virtual Console and the SNES Classic. Paper Mario is another RPG entry from the N64 that can be played on Nintendo Switch with the Online + Expansion Pack.
