Best SNES games?

[Mockery]

If you had to pick 5 - 10 SNES games that you think everybody should own, what would they be?

[ArrowX]

Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past
Demons Crest
Streetfighter 2 Turbo
The Addams Family Game
Final Fantasy 3
Metal Warriors
Super Mario Cart
Super Mario World
EDIT: Super Gundam GX wich is the greatest turn based strategy game on any console ever.

[Yggdrasill]

Earthbound
Super mario 2 Yoshis island
Super castlevania 4
super mario RPG
star fox
zombies ate my neigbors
chrono trigger
zelda LTTP
street fighter alpha 2
mortal combat 2

[Angryhydralisk]

Considering I own nearly 60 games on this system since 1991....

- Super Mario World (Total given)
- Super Mario Kart (Again, total given)
- Earthbound (A good breather from medieval and gay raver RPGs.)
- Zombies Ate My Neighbors (Pure, unbridled 80s-cheese fun.)
- Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past (Just because it's Legend of Zelda.)
- Saturday Night Slam Masters (Infinitely better than any of the wrestling games that was out at the time.)
- StarFox (Graphics are uglier than sin but the game was stylish for it's time.)
- Uniracers (It's like Skate or Die meets that one shitty racing game on the NES...with one wheel.)
- SUPER Street Fighter II (You don't need Turbo if you own this.)
- Mortal Kombat II (The best of the series, and the one that at least gave an illusion of variety, unlike 3, Ultimate 3, Trilogy, and all the others.)

There you go. Ten very good games for a classic system, which won't cost a mazillion dollars for one game (This is why I held of on any Squaresoft or Breath of Fire....or Mega Man X games. You can get their PSX re-issues for dirt friggin' cheap now.).

[Fathom Zero]

Zombies Ate My Neighbours
Earthbound
Breakthru
Doom
Super Mario World
Justice League Task Force
Super Bubble Buster Bros.
Killer Instinct
Digital Devil Story

AND Wild Guns, most definitely.

Most of 'em I grew up with, but a few I've bought more recently.

[MattJack]

Super Street Fighter II
Ultimate Mortal Kombat
Zombies Ate My Neighbors
Ken Griffey's Baseball
Mario Kart
Contra 3 Alien Wars
FF3
NBA Jam Tourney Edition
Earthworm Jim
Zelda (link to the past)

[GADZOOKS]

these lists are weak UNIRACERS? ADDAMS FAMILY? come on guys.


PLATFORMER GAME: Super Mario All Stars + Super Mario World



People buy Super Nintendo for Mario. There is really no need to play any other platforming game after these. They cover all bases. It's not even worth explaining why!

RPG GAME: Earthbound



Probably one of my Top 3 favorite games of all time. I have a distinct hatred for RPG's since they all play alike (and if they are anime based they all look alike too). This game is just pleasing all around with it's music and simple but eye catching graphics. It doesn't bowl you over with a long boring story with terrible cutscenes. Earthbound does everything good and everything fun!

ADVENTURE GAME: A Link To The Past

It's disappointing that there aren't a ton of game like this kind (Secret of Mana was one but it had that charging bullshit that made it tedious) but A Link To The Past does almost everything right. I just wish there was more variety of lairs other then castles and dungeons (what bosses can't live outdoors?).

FIGHTING GAME: Street Fighter II: TURBO SPECIAL FANTASTIC EDITION

BLAH BLAH BLAH. IT'S A FUN FIGHTING GAME. BLAH BLAH BLAH. IT'S NOT AS GOOD AS THE ARCADES BUT FOR A CONSOLE FIGHTER IT'S TOPS. YADDA YADDA YADDA.

BEATEMUP: TMNT: Turtles In Time

Easily one of the best of it's genre (Streets of Rage 2 and Simpsons Arcade being the others). I remember being sold on the SNES when you could throw foot soildiers at the screen. It really doesn't get old. Best time travel based game ever (suck it C. Trigger).

------

Those are four games worth buying for the Super Nintendo. They provide hours of entertainment even after their novelty runs off (unlike uniracers and zombies ate my neighbors).

Other games I LIKED but not worth purchasing:

NBA JAM (because I'm a ****** for basketball)

Yoshi's Island (IT'S A KIDDIE GAME, whatever fags)

Mario Paint (I love the music maker)

Super Metroid (Too much of a commitment to play all the way through)

Chrono Trigger (Overall I hate it like all anime based games, but I liked the music and I did play it longer then most RPG's before giving up)

Castlevania 4 + Super Ghost and Ghouls (fun but too hard, end up cheating)

Wild Guns (A pretty good shooter game, but pretty short)

Mortal Kombat (if you don't have the genesis version or Street fighter aint gory enough for you)

FZERO (way over Super Mario Kart, Mario Kart didn't hit it's stride until N64 days)

The First Donkey Kong Country (and only the first)

and that's it, enjoy your Super Nintendo Entertainment System

Seriously, what's so fucking special about SMW? It's boring as hell . Although this might be because I'm used to the fast pace of Genesis' Sonic games

[Angryhydralisk]

after reading these, here's another ten

- Sunset Riders (Awesome game. "Marry me with my...money")
- TMNT 4 (I agree on this. This game is the best!)
- Super Metroid (It inspired the Metroidvanias!)
- Mario is Missing (For those who want to tick it to MArio...which was absolutely no one)
- Donkey Kong Country
- Killer Instinct
- Kirby Super Star (A bit expensive but it gives you all you could ever want outta Kirby.)
- Super Mario All-Stars ( I feel like a dumbass for not listing this.)
- F-Zero
- Super Castlevania 4

The end result? The SNES is THAT DAMN GOOD!

[Emu]

[ArrowX]

Can't believe I forgot sunset riders
I remember getting all the kids in the neighborhood togeather and playing it, and everyone fought over who was Cormano, because he had a poncho a sombrero's and the most non boring name.
Bullruns!

[Zomboid]

Just so you guys know, the genesis version of zombies ate my neighbors is better in some ways...what with the little side menu and everything :O

Earthbound (what can be said that hasn't been said already? One of the best RPGs ever and best SNES game ever)
Link to the Past
Zombies Ate My Neighbors
E.V.O
Super Ghouls 'N Ghosts
Street Fighter 2 (any of the versions)
Terranigma
Illusion of Gaia
Megaman X
Blackthorne

[Rongi]

I always had to go over other kids houses to play snes . i had a genesis

I dont think I could say anything that hasnt already been said in this thread but...

Super Mario World
TMNT: Turtles In Time
Megaman X
Donky Kong Country
Megaman X2 ( with exception of maybe X4, nothing past X2 is worth playing. especially X3, I fucking HATE X3 )

I know I'm probably forgetting a ton of great games, but these are the ones that stick out to me

[ArrowX]

I don't remember what the game was called but I had rented it for SNES twice in one week, but it had kind of a Conan feel to it and the level select was like a tree with the different levels branching out as the game progressed.

Why? X3 was the best one

[Rongi]

I played the sega saturn version, so maybe it was different from the snes version? I just remember thinking it was a chore to play through. Most of the boss designs were totally lame, especially the tiger. I dont know if X3 was the worst, I did play through it till the end. I cant say that much for X5 or X6. God those games sucked

It was really your favorite though? I guess to each his own. My favorite is probably the first one

[Girl Drink Drunk]

Street Fighter II Turbo
Final Fantasy III
Final Fantast II
Super Castlevania IV
Super Mario World
Super Mario Bros: Yoshi's Island
Super Mario RPG
TMNT Turtles in Time
Chrono Trigger (enough with this fucking anime bashing. it's as annoying as hearing from the people that are obsessed with it)
Super Empire Strikes Back

[Emu]

I like X3 simply because of the enormous amount of peripherals you can get (the "pink" chips, the gold armor, the Z saber, and the ability to switch to playing Zero) and I think it has the best music. Although yeah, some of the boss designs are lacking and they tend to have patterns that are far too predictable. Otherwise I love it

[ArrowX]
