deleted35362 Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 What are some great SNES games? I would also appreciate including some information about the game, and why you think it's so great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tables Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I can't see a topic about SNES games and not recommend Super Metroid. Basically, imagine the most atmospheric, exciting game out today. Put it into 2D and make it more atomspheric and you have Super Metroid. You play a Bounty Hunter, exploring a planet and blasting bad guys as you look. As you go you get a huge variety of fun and useful upgrades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florete Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Donkey Kong Country 2. And the others, but mostly 2 because it's so amazingly awesome. Then there's the Super Mario World series that was pretty great. I remember movie-based games like Aladdin and The Lion King also being quite good, but I was also a kid, so...

Icon of Sin Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 (edited) Obviously Shaq Fu. More seriously, adding to those already named, Treasure of the Rudras is worth trying. Zelda : a Link to the Past is very good entry in the series. Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter and Killer Instinct were pretty cool too but I'd highly suggest the arcade versions over the SNES ones. Many sports games were also pretty enjoyable. Other than the big league games like NHL, NBA et al., Super Punch Out was pretty sweet too.

Swordsalmon Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen is just about the best SNES title, if not the best SRPG ever made. Bahamut Lagoon is also very good. Play both of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ϲharlie Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Contra 3 and Super Castlevania IV are both excellent side-scrolling action games. A quick warning about Contra: This is not an easy game. You'll need good reflexes and a good understanding of the level you're on and how the enemies work to get through. If you do decide to play it, start out on the lowest difficulty level possible. Castlevania IV is not as unforgiving as Contra, but still might prove to be a somewhat of a challenge for a first-timer. If you play Castlevania IV and like it, you might also want to give Castlevania: Dracula X a shot. If RPG's are more your thing, give Lufia and Lufia II a look. Other than that, I don't have much to add. The above suggestions all seem pretty solid to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narga_Rocks Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Final Fantasy III. Topic over. FFV, Chrono Trigger, and Lufia 2 all compete with that pretty well. LTTP and SMW are also amazing, but maybe not better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celice Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 If you like FFV, you should try the FFVr hack someone put together. It vastly increases the difficulty and adds a bunch of new stuff--it's essentially an overhaul. And some new classes to boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurelius Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Earthbound was a good RPG SNES game. This game had some peculiar encounters with enemies and odd environments. I believe one of the bosses you had to face was a pile of slime called Master Belch among other list of very bizarre opponents. Not only that, but you get to name one of the skills you get for one of your characters. As for the environments, I remember there was a city that went very dark and to save your game you had to select no instead of yes. Another thing is that you didn't really see your character do fighting animations in battles because it was in in a first person view, but you can still see spell effects. Even with all the awkward situations, I still enjoyed the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deleted35362 Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 Thanks for the suggestions, though I probably should have mentioned That SNES FEs are too tedious for me, and I don't like anything final Fantasy (except for Crystal Chronicles). Also I already have Super Mario RPG, Donkey Kong country 1&2, and...FE4. Contra 3 and Super Castlevania IV are both excellent side-scrolling action games. I'm familiar.

If you don't like some of the later ones, that doesn't mean you won't like the superior snes ones. Also, Chrono Trigger is still something you should try if you like RPGs at all.

ShinKuma Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 No love for the Mega Man X series I see. I mean each one of the ones for the SNES had something nice added in to it. X - You can learn Hadoken which is a one shot finish to enemy it hits. X2 - You can learn Shoryuken which is ok I guess never used it much. X3 - You can use Zero on some stages but if he died he was out of the story. Plus it is possble to get his Z-Saber if you do things right. Not to mention getting the gold armor to. Maximum Carnage was a pretty good side scrolling game with Spiderman and Venom. Though if you wanted two players you'd have to play Seperation Anxiety.

Nightmare Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Demon's Crest. It's an excellent and deep platformer, one of the most unique out there, with a captivating atmosphere, and quite brutal to boot. It's about a demon named Firebrand who wants to become the very best, like no one ever was, and he searches far and wide to find every crest (things that give him powers). Seconding Megaman X. The first one, at least, was really good. The second is good too, and the third...well, it's not exactly bad, but I don't really like it as much as the other two.
