A legendary game would get a sequel if the director gets his wish. Chihiro Fujioka, the director of Super Mario RPG, has stated a desire to make Super Mario RPG 2 to close out his career.
This is according to an interview with MinnMax,in which he stated:
“Yeah, I would absolutely love to make one… in my career I’ve been involved with a lot of games, and I would really like my final one to be another Mario RPG game if possible.”
“I think Mario & Luigi is cool, but I would like to go back and create a Mario RPG where you’re only controlling Mario.”
Fujioka was also asked if he has any story ideas in mind for a new Mario RPG, but would not share specifics, saying only that: “That is a secret.”
