Best SNES Games Ever
December 17, 2002, 3:10 AM CST by sm284614
As we all know, the SNES was, is, and shall probably forever remain, the best games console ever.

For me, the SNES was a milesnone in my life, I grew up playing SNES games for six years of my life and a lot of them hold a special place with me.

But what is your personal favorite SNES game?
December 17, 2002, 4:02 AM CST by crAezy to sm284614
Earthbound !


runner ups:

Zelda : A link to the past
Yoshis island
Final fantasy 3
Super metroid

Yeah, I feel the same. There's too many to list, for most of the games back in the days were good, because we didn't have such high expectations as we do now. Not only that, but the games were mostly the same, but good in their own ways. I like them all!
December 17, 2002, 4:39 AM CST by chairmansteve to sm284614
TurboGrafx 16 is the best console ever, but we won't get into that here. ;)

Here are some great SNES that come to mind:

Zelda III
Super Mario World
Super Mario Kart
Killer Instinct
Donkey Kong Country
Contra III
Saturday Night Slam Masters
Street Fighter II
Super Metroid

But the best one is Super Mario Kart.
December 17, 2002, 6:30 AM CST by khaid to chairmansteve
Saturday Night Slam Masters!!
December 20, 2002, 6:52 PM CST by Fragmaster to sm284614
The SNES is still my favorite console. My favorite game is Contra 3. Runner's up are Super Metroid and Yoshi's Island.
December 20, 2002, 7:08 PM CST by guicho80 to Fragmaster
Gos ta be Street Fighter 2 Turbo! Yo I got mad 16 bit skillz foo!
December 20, 2002, 8:47 PM CST by Suckattack to Fragmaster
Yeah, I still play many SNES games, and they've only gotten WAY better now. Same can be said about Genesis, though I don't play it as much as the SNES.
December 20, 2002, 10:21 PM CST by PirateGuy
Street Fighter 2 Turbo

Contra:Alien Wars
December 21, 2002, 7:59 AM CST by sm284614
The SNES is the best source of RPGs anywhere; Square alone made one at least every six months.

Mario Kart may well deserve the 'best game' award.
December 21, 2002, 10:17 AM CST by 1withxbox
Nobody mentioned Actraiser! *MAD*
December 21, 2002, 10:48 AM CST by Pichu
Seiken Denetsu III
Tales of Phantasia
Chrono Trigger
Final Fantasy III

January 3, 2003, 7:51 PM CST by twoz1976
Zelda: A Link to the Past
Super Metroid
Soul Blazer
Mega Man X, X2, X3

Soooooooooooo many games ... I agree .. that's the best system ever .. and probably will stay that way.

January 15, 2003, 8:36 PM CST by Satoshi
Indeed, The SNES rules. It was the cause of the worshipped Play Station. If Square had not hit that system up into the god console it is now, than we would not have the almighty PSX or PS2. Oh yeah, it inspired the game cube too.
January 16, 2003, 6:33 AM CST by sm284614 to twoz1976
Hey, isn't your avatar the guy who charges you for rescuing him from BEING TRAPPED IN A CAVE FOREVER?

for anyone that loves to play RPGs, and play them over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over (breaths in) and over and over until one hit with your weakest character will knock the crap out of any normal bad guy and weaker bosses.

CHRONO TRIGGER

January 22, 2003, 3:25 AM CST by Booda
Whats that one where you had to go around and take pictures or something? When I had that game I was like 5 years old. Or some young age. That game really bothered me. I thought it was gonna be like Super Mario Brothers which was the coooolest. Double Dragons was awesome as well.
January 22, 2003, 3:26 AM CST by Grins2Pain
Other than that N64 game where you took pictures of Pokemon, and some Commadore 64 game where you had to take pictures of the loch-ness monster, I couldn't say.
January 22, 2003, 3:32 AM CST by Booda to Grins2Pain
Nah its the MARIO one. You had to take pictures. Its for SNES. I think you played as Luigi im not sure.
January 22, 2003, 3:55 AM CST by Grins2Pain to Booda
Maybe you are thinking of Mario is Missing?
February 2, 2003, 5:10 PM CST by NStorm
i have a couple favorites, bt Donkey Kong country, Super Mario World, and Mario RPG are my favorites
February 2, 2003, 11:40 PM CST by Agora
Tetris Attack...anyone wants to play me? ;)
March 3, 2003, 4:23 AM CST by scatteh
the best game is the one where mario nobs ur mom
March 3, 2003, 4:36 AM CST by whocares to scatteh
Zelda was very cool as was secret of mana but i loved supermario world best i think.
March 3, 2003, 7:30 AM CST by NateDawg
the best game was zelda by far
March 3, 2003, 8:06 AM CST by CPTIncognito
Amidst all the football games out there now, one of my faves still is on the SNES, Tecmo Super Bowl!!!
March 3, 2003, 8:15 AM CST by pjbliverpool
Super Mario Kart was the best game on the SNES and one of the best games ever.

Mario World was really good too. So was F-zero.

ahhh this is making me nostalgic for my old snes, luckily I still have all those games on the PC!
March 18, 2003, 1:06 PM CST by dano to pjbliverpool
best game is final fantasy III. this game is the best game of all time for any system in my opinion .
March 18, 2003, 3:49 PM CST by Saikyou to sm284614
I was young when i had the Snes but my favorite was

Star Fox
Super Mario World
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Tournament fighters
March 18, 2003, 10:38 PM CST by Icebird to sm284614
My favorite SNES game is Chrono Trigger. The soundtrack, the story, the graphics, the time traveling, everything about it makes it my favorite RPG of all time, and my favorite SNES game of all time.

Runner-ups include Rock and Roll Racing, Super Mario Kart, and Street Fighter II.
March 19, 2003, 8:48 AM CST by sm284614 to Icebird
Did you ever play Final Fantasy III (VI in Japan) for the SNES? Maybe the best game ever. Certainly the best RPG (with Chrono Trigger a strong second).
March 22, 2003, 8:26 PM CST by Treborre
My favourite SNES game had to be Pilot Wings!! It had the grapics, addictive gameplay and not to forget some sly humour!

Come on somebody tell me some of the good things they experienced with Pilot Wings ;-)
March 29, 2003, 8:26 AM CST by sm284614 to Treborre
I would like to see a gamecube version of pilotwings; the N64 version was a thing of beauty.
March 30, 2003, 1:21 AM CST by Icebird to sm284614
I played a little of FF 3, but didn't like it as much as crono trigger. I like the lighet feel of crono trigger more than the apoctalyptic stories of FF.
March 30, 2003, 10:02 AM CST by sm284614 to Icebird
Fair enough, but FF3 is really worth playing through. Did you ever play Radical Dreamers, the SNES sequel to Chrono Trigger?
March 30, 2003, 3:04 PM CST by Icebird to sm284614
No, I havn't heard of that. I thought the only sequal to Chrono Trigger was Crono Cross for PS1. And in truth, I havn't actually beaten Chrono Trigger. I am stuck on this dual boss in the Zeal Place. It is soo hard!
March 30, 2003, 4:04 PM CST by khaid to Icebird
Dual Boss at zeal palace? I'm not remembering that...

But the only real challenge to me was beating the last boss with only Chrono and Marle. But then, I eventually mastered it and beat it with Ys. A few super elixirs is all you need.
April 2, 2003, 5:14 AM CST by sm284614 to Icebird
Radical Dreamers was a japanonly text-based sequel to Chrono trigger. Not very good, but it explained some stuff.

Are you stuck on the thing in the undersea palace? the fire thing? or the thing in the big skyship?

Weirdly, I didn't go to the undersea palace the second time I finished Chrono Trigger, but I found the robot factory in the future. One of the few RPGs with a dynamic plot and multiple endings, and worth finishing at least three times in order to see everything.
April 2, 2003, 9:51 AM CST by Hien
1)Ninja Gaiden collection
2)Street Fighter II turbo
3)Super Metroid
4)Final Fantasy III
5)Castlevania IV
6)Contra III
Chrono Trigger (awesome RPG, ranking up near Ninja Gaiden)

April 3, 2003, 6:56 AM CST by sm284614 to Hien
Ninja Gaiden? Surely that doesn't stand up against the other games you mentiond...
April 22, 2003, 10:53 AM CST by StolenHalo
You all seemto have missed Harvest Moon off your lists. Thats a quality game. Oh, and a game that wasnt released in the states, called Terranigma, by Enix. If you can track it down, you wont be dissapointed.
By the way, I too love Earthbound but I was underwhelmed by the combat system. I much prefer the simplicity of Super Mario RPGs
July 20, 2003, 11:53 PM CST by Philman
Had alook at all the posts , good choices guys. there is one game i never see anyone post and i think i might know why
Donkey Kong Country 1 (ONE)
Awesome game, tho there is no way i can say the same about the sequals
2 and 3 are *Very* babyish with little to insulting gameplay
those who have seen 2 and 3 but been put off to see DK1 download it and redeem you opiniun about the game. DK1 is one of the snes classics that me want a snes, and is made for the mature consumer market
July 21, 2003, 12:06 AM CST by chairmansteve to Philman
Indeed, Donkey Kong Country is excellent game for SNES, and that's why it's in my post on page 1.

And since I'm here, I'll add that Super Bomberman is also among top SNES games.
July 21, 2003, 12:21 AM CST by Philman to chairmansteve
heh i cant beleive i didnt notice it :)
say out of the bommerman series which one(s) is the best?
July 22, 2003, 5:34 PM CST by sm284614

Im sure im forgetting alot of games. The SNES was, and still is, without equal in the console world. It marked the golden age of consoles. Never have there been so many quality, innovative titles on one platform (except maybe the PC).

On a Side note some of the peripherals for the SNES i had were fun but kind of lame and amusing at the same time because they never really took off; like Mario Paint (which came with a mouse) and the Super Scope 6 (a bazooka type thing they marketed as the new, SNES version of the Duckhunt gun).
July 26, 2003, 1:05 AM CST by jay_hoochie
My housemate works for Nintendo Australia, he's currently going back thru all the old games and replaying them, gettin all nostalgic. The SNES will always be looked back apon with respect. It was also a huge part of my early gaming.

Super Punchout
Blackthorn
Cybernator
...so many good games...
July 31, 2003, 1:20 AM CST by zoltec to sm284614
Star Fox, the true pioneer of 3D games. (the first good one, i never liked those wireframe atari 3d games).
July 31, 2003, 2:25 AM CST by Booda
Super Mario World (freakin good times...)
Double Dragons
Street Fighter II
Contra III
Donkey Kong Country
July 31, 2003, 3:37 AM CST by phisix

---Explosion of power---
====Phisix====
August 2, 2003, 6:50 PM CST by john
Best SNES game I played:
-super Mario world can't miss.
-Top Gear3000(Best Racing Game to me)
-The Peace Keepers
-International Superstar Soccer Deluxe
-Mario Kart
-Dragonball 33
-all donkey cong games
-street fighter
-Mortal Kombat

It is a pitty that Jaleco and Kemco doesn't exist anymore.
I really would love if they remake Top Gear3000 and The Peace Keepers on the Gamecube or the PS2. There is Top Gear Daredevil on the PS2 but it ain't the same as the one on the SNES. The one on the PS2 SUCKS.

Top Gear3000 is an allien racing tournament, where the cars are human cars but you can equip them with allien technology. You can buy an engine make of polymer and atomic energy. I love this cause the accesories you can buy for your car. You can buy:
-Engine
-Boost
-Warp
-Gearbox
-Infrared sensors
-attractor
-jump
-Armor

The boost is like Nitro but way cool.
Engine to increase your speed.
Gearbox to change the pekings and increase your speed too.
If you didn't pick enough gasoil ,you will lose the race cause your car won't run fast enough to win.This game is way better than Gran Turismo.Poeple may think GT is better cause it has better graphics.
August 16, 2003, 2:45 PM CST by ProstieDvizhenyia
i like that one with the boy who goes back in time and each time he goes to a different period his dog changes forms, and like he can cast magic and everyone has an Evil twin and stuff.
August 16, 2003, 2:55 PM CST by sm284614 to ProstieDvizhenyia
Secret of Evermore. Good game.
September 8, 2003, 6:33 PM CST by jrcolina1989
Lufia 2!!!

Illusion of Gaia
Final Fantasy III
Super Metroid
September 8, 2003, 6:54 PM CST by PirateGuy
Ah..the good ol' SNES console....where pushing the number of megabits matters more than pushing polygons.


1. Street Fighter 2 (THE reason I bought SNES)

2. Super Contra 3

3. Legend of Zelda
October 3, 2003, 4:43 PM CST by FreakReviver to Icebird
The Twin Golems are defenitly one of the hardest bosses in the game. Here is my strategy. Use Crono, Ayla and Robo and leve up their techs till u can use Twister(triple skill-Requires;Crono-Cyclone, Ayla-Tail Spin, Robo-Laser Spin). then use the epoch to go to 600AD. Go to the mayors house and the inn near Truce Canyon and check the black boxes. Say no to all of them. Then go to 1000AD and go collect all of those boxes u said no to in the past. Then go back to 600AD and collect them all again. Then go to Bangor Dome and Trann Dome(600 AD) and open up the sealed doors. One of them will have the Gold Earing. Now, get back to Ocean Palace. Once you reach the save point before the Twin Golems equip the Black Mail on Crono, Black Vest on Ayla, and the Gold Earing on Robo. Save. Now the battle. Use Twister as soon as possible. Because its a shadow tech everytime they copy it Crono and Ayla will get health back. Robo should have enough health to hold out for a long time.Heal him when necesary. Important:Dont attack the golem twins with ANYTHING except twister because then they won't use shadow techs. If you need to level up skills go to the hunting ground in 65000000000BC. Run to the upper left are of the screen and climb up the vine. Wait on the thin bridge to the right of the vine. If the Nu Dosnt appear Beneath you when it rains run straight down to find another area where he might come out. if hes not there run up and repeat the process. Ull get 30 tech points each time. Dont worry about healing cause u wont die as long as u only face the nu. It's only attack is to bring ur health down to one. You'll have to exit hunting grounds to repeat again. Hope that helps :D
October 3, 2003, 7:44 PM CST by sm284614
This thread has an insane number of views.

Also, Equinox is another great game.
October 5, 2003, 3:33 PM CST by WIld_Weasle to sm284614
its simple the best games were the ones you played with your friend to the point you were willing to kill eachother over who won!! like rampart tetrix attack bust a move thows games
October 5, 2003, 10:23 PM CST by sm284614 to WIld_Weasle
I don't really remember the SNES as a great 2-player system. There are the obvious stand-outs (Bust-a-move, Street Fighter II, Super Mario Kart, Bomberman etc.), but for the most part it was a great single player console. Perhaps because of all the great RPGs and platformers.
October 5, 2003, 10:48 PM CST by khaid to sm284614
Holy crap. To me, the SNES was the best multiplayer console that has been in the market.
October 6, 2003, 4:35 AM CST by phisix to sm284614
I tell you im glad that the gba is bring some of the old snes classics out onto gba, like mario world, such a great game.
October 8, 2003, 2:36 PM CST by EvilWeevil
Wow I can't believe no one said kirby superstar or zombies ate my neighbors! Super mario rpg and Zelda: a link to the past were definately there too
October 9, 2003, 7:36 PM CST by SonicShadow
Aha.Those were great games.I was about 6 when i first got the snes,but, zelda,Super MArio World,Chrono Trigger were all so nonastolgic...

I mean,who here that had the snes when they were young and never figured out how to beat bowser till you realized,"Hey!I can stomp this mecha and throw it at bowser!!!"

No one?
Awww crap.

What about Chrono Trigger!?
Or when ya fought gannon on the snes!?
October 10, 2003, 11:12 AM CST by phisix
Nearly every game was what made you love the snes, but games like super mario world, a link to the past, mario karts, street fighter, starwing were what made me fall in love with this console, its a good thing we can play some of these snes clasics onto the gba:sp right.
October 11, 2003, 11:25 PM CST by SonicShadow
Yeah.It is.I just wish that the main squaresoft sequels could be directly related,Instead of different...Like Chrono Trigger(YEAH) and Chrono Cross.
October 13, 2003, 9:33 AM CST by ThePJ to SonicShadow
My favorite game is one i can't remember and thats why i joined up. Maybe what i can pull up from the depths of my 7 year old memories will jog the mind of someone here that knows the name of this game. What follows is all the details that i remember of the game...its limited but if it reminds you of anything let me know:

- RPG
- Allowed you to have 4 (maybe 6) characters
- You were able to steal pirate ships if you could make it to the shore line while they were docked
- Random patches of ground were poison
- There was an observatory that played a part in the story
- You had to go into an underwater world at one point in the game

Like i said not too much to draw from, but this is 15 years ago year talking. Thanks so much!
October 13, 2003, 10:10 AM CST by The2ndclory to chairmansteve
I know this is a little late but Steve mentioned Killer Instinct and I was just having a little laugh with myself. "Ultra!, Ultra!, Ultra!"
October 13, 2003, 1:07 PM CST by khaid to ThePJ
Was it Uncharted Waters? Maybe part 2. I don't remember poison patches on the ground.. but then again I didn't really play the game. I'm just going off what I saw from a friend who plays it.

From Koei, yes?
October 13, 2003, 1:44 PM CST by ThePJ to khaid
Uncharted Waters was another good one, but not the one i'm thinking off. This game took place more on land and then had occasional things to do on the water. Good guess though.
October 13, 2003, 1:56 PM CST by khaid to ThePJ
That observatory part is throwing me off hehe.. sounds like a familiar game.

You have any info on the battle system?

Was that being able to use 4-6 characters at one time or just choosing one out of the 4-6 characters?
October 14, 2003, 8:31 AM CST by ThePJ to khaid
Allowed you to have a party of 4 to 6. It was a telescope in some building (not sure if it was an observatory or if it was that related to the plot) the battle system as i remember it was pretty close to FF's early games.
October 15, 2003, 10:57 AM CST by sm284614 to ThePJ
Der langriser?
7th Saga?
Lufia?
Romancing Saga?
October 15, 2003, 11:34 AM CST by khaid to sm284614
It's not Der Langrisser cuz that wasn't Final Fantasy style battle system. It's more of Warsong (tactics) battle system. Not 7th Saga either cuz you could only have 2 players in a party.

Maybe Lufia or Romancing Saga.. but I haven't played either of those 2.
October 16, 2003, 8:03 PM CST by FreakReviver

I'm currently putting together a SNES games review site, as i can't find a decent large source. Just in case anyone cares...
October 29, 2003, 12:24 PM CST by phisix to sm284614
Sounds great, will you review every snes game ever made?
October 29, 2003, 4:11 PM CST by sm284614 to phisix
Hopefully, eventually, yes. But there are about 1800 games in total, and only about twenty reviews done so far.

OUT OF THIS WORLD!
December 8, 2003, 8:26 PM CST by tominator
which do you think is better Earthbound or Chrono trigger. I ve heard earthbound is better and same with Chrono
December 8, 2003, 8:28 PM CST by sm284614 to tominator
They're quite different games, but Chrono Trigger is ultimately much better. It's deeper, has a better plot, soundtrack, graphics, characters and story. Earthbound is still an excellent game, but I regard Chrono Trigger as the 2nd best RPG ever (after Final Fnatasy VI).
December 9, 2003, 6:04 AM CST by phisix
My favourite Super Nintendo games are:

Legend of zelda: Link to the past
Super mario world
Super mario: Allstars
Streetfighter 2 turbo
Zombies

And many more that i cant think of right now.
December 9, 2003, 11:59 AM CST by FoxMulder to phisix
What about Secret of Mana? i played that game so much in my childhood.

Runnersup:
Zelda: Link to the Past
Super Mario Kart
Super Mario World
Actraiser
pretty much anything Squaresoft
December 12, 2003, 12:09 PM CST by sm284614 to FoxMulder
I really enjoyed 'Secret of Mana' but it lacks the magic I like. I've not gone back to it since 1995. Mario World, Kart, and Zelda, I still play quite often. Mario Kart is eternal.
December 12, 2003, 12:12 PM CST by Zero_The_Hero
Chrono Trigger and Super Metroid. also, Super Mario Kart.
December 12, 2003, 12:26 PM CST by sm284614 to Zero_The_Hero
I wonder if any current or recent generation hardware will have the same impact as the SNES. Will people in ten years time look back on Gran Turismo, Halo and Metroid Prime like many of us look back on Super Mario Kart and Chrono Trigger?
December 12, 2003, 12:29 PM CST by Zero_The_Hero to sm284614
i doubt it. SNES is, still, the best overall system ever released.
December 13, 2003, 1:37 AM CST by Tymonator
Did anyone mention Super Tennis? That is a great game when up against some good competition. :)
December 13, 2003, 6:48 AM CST by sm284614 to Tymonator
YES! I also loved Smash Tennis. I'm not usually a fan of sports games, but tennis games can be great fun. Like Mario Tennis
January 15, 2004, 6:29 PM CST by XPelargos to sm284614
Hi all,

I'm new to this site, but I love this post. I've discovered some great RPG's thanks to you all. To me, the SNES is one of the best consoles for many reasons:

1: RPG games: Chrono Trigger, FF III (VI here), FF V (The Job System worked amazingly well) Secret of Mana, Earthbound, etc. Square turned out two games a year and surprisingly, they were all amazing! Nowadays, their games are still fun, but not filled with as much fun factor. I have a bad feeling that Final Fantasy XI will be a rip-off of Everquest. Can Final Fantasy work as a MMORPG?
2: Fighting Games: The SNES revolutionized fighting games, starting with Street Fighter II, and Mortal Kombat, and ending with the excellent Street Fighter Alpha II. Even today, the power bar is still used in Capcom fighting games.
3: Many gamers started their gaming lives at 5 or 6, which are very impressionable years. To most, the SNES stuck in their minds as the greatest console. When I was young, deprived of a TV and console (The horror! The horror!) I would try to get to my friend's house as much as possible to play Super Mario Land. (I remember our joy when we found the Red Switch Palace :-) Back then, when I didn't have to worry about homework, girls, etc., The SNES was a great source of good, clean fun.
Now that I'm older, I realize it's not just nostalgia that makes the SNES such a wonderful console, but there was true quality in those tiny cartridges. Square and Capcom and Nintendo concentrated on making a game fun. Nowadays, companies go for dynamic lighting, realtime shadows, and that's why many modern RPG's just aren't fun. It's kind of ironic that Chrono Trigger could pack more fun onto a 4MB cartridge than FF VIII could on 4 CDs.


P.S. - Did anyone else like the Battletoads series as much as me? It was the first NES game I ever played and it has always stuck in my mind as the greatest (albeit hardest) side-scrolling beat-em-up game

yeah i remember playing that game years ago. I liked the level when you were on that hovering bike. I never completed the game, Sadley.

Maro karts on the snes was amazing. Nintendo should release the old snes version with the next mario karts game on either the gamecube or gamecube 2.
January 16, 2004, 7:27 AM CST by one_grim_reaper
I quite enjoyed a game which was called illusion of time (illusion of gaia in some places), it was kind of an RPG.
January 16, 2004, 7:54 PM CST by sm284614 to one_grim_reaper
Godd game, i remember it well, it was the middle game of a trilogy that started with Soul Blazer and ended with the fantastic Terranigma.

It's quite odd really how Final Fantasy VI in 3 MB eclipsed FFVIII at 2500 MB. I'm sure that displayes some sort of important message, something like "Graphics aren't what makes an RPG good", or "Good things come in small packages".

Speaking of snes games. How is your snes review site going, sm284614?
January 18, 2004, 7:54 AM CST by HakoHero
The game I had most fun with on SNES was Mario All-Stars... :P Yes, I know it is just a collection of NES games. The second place goes to The Legend Of Zelda: A Link To The Past. It's simply gorgeous!
January 19, 2004, 3:18 PM CST by sm284614 to phisix
It's in the process of a Christmas update from my lack of internet/FTP stuff over the last month. When I get them all up, ther should be around sixty reviews there, with many more on the way.
January 19, 2004, 3:25 PM CST by phisix to sm284614
Sounds great. Any chance you could post a link to your site so i can browse and check your existing reviews and all so far?
January 20, 2004, 6:25 PM CST by Gaia to phisix
Ive found loads of new rpgs thanks to you guys, shame some of them are in japanese though, i loved illusion of time (or gaia whichever version you bought) i was hooked on that game for years as it had the most involving storyline ive played in any game (apart from of course the best game in the world, Final Fantasy VII). Killer instinct was quality and is still a game i play even today, also Unirally! nobodys mentioned that. It had the most addictive two player game ever!

Other games which you've forgot

Lord of the rings (very very hard, but pretty good)
Pebble beach golf links (best golf game)
Syndicate (syndicate! how can anyone forget that!!!)
James pond (so addictive)
January 21, 2004, 12:21 PM CST by phisix to Gaia
James pond (so addictive)
I didnt know james pond was on the snes. I liked James pond 3 on the mega drive though.
January 22, 2004, 9:10 AM CST by da_deadly_sniper
killer instinct was the best SNES title ever
January 23, 2004, 4:25 AM CST by phisix to da_deadly_sniper
killer instinct was the best SNES title ever
Was that the only Snes game you ever played? Because it certenly is not the best Snes game ever.

Here is a list of some contender's for that right:

Mario karts
Super mario world
Yoshi's island
Starwing
Final Fantasy VI
The legend of zelda: A link to the past


If there are any others please post them.
January 23, 2004, 11:06 AM CST by da_deadly_sniper to phisix
no i haven't jus played Killer instict on the SNES, and i'll have u know that i own all the games u listed and many many more on my Snes which i still have...but the only game that seems to give me a good time is Killer Instict.
March 1, 2004, 8:54 PM CST by lessthanjake
come on people
OUT OF THIS WORLD!
March 1, 2004, 8:56 PM CST by sm284614 to lessthanjake
Out of this World (Another World) was great. But it still gets beat down by Flashback.
March 2, 2004, 4:58 PM CST by Smuff to sm284614
When I was but a young whippersnapper, playing the SNES was a way of life, sadly I only played games like Super Probotector, MarioKart and Streetfighter 2 (at which I was the unofficial world champion.

I'm rediscovering the Snes these days and i've got a taste for RPG's, i've got hold FF3 (6 in Jap)and Chrono Trigger, but what others are any good. I can't speak any language other than English, so i don't want to bother with any Japan only games. Just list all the best RPG's you can think of and i'll get hold of them all, somehow.

Cheers people.

Some translations are available here:
http://www.zophar.net/newtrans/?op=show&type=snes

I'd most highly reccomend:
Terranigma, Tales of Phantasia, Chrono Trigger, FFIV, FFVI, Zelda, Bahamut Lagoon, Secret of Mana II, and Secret of Evermore.
March 2, 2004, 5:34 PM CST by Smuff to sm284614
OMG thats loads. I'll have to lock myself in my house and be off work with "stress" for months to get through that lot.

Final Fantasy IV, V, & VI.....are these Japanese or English/American?

I have got FFIII, and FFII, i'm a little confused with what version is what. FFIII is really FFVI, yes? so FFI and FFII would be IV and V, yay or nay?

I'm running snes9x, are we allowed to post rom sites on here? If so, do you know any good ones? I...uh...own all the roms anyway.....like...so..you know...
March 2, 2004, 5:53 PM CST by sm284614 to Smuff
Final Fantasy:

NES:
FF1 (J) = FF2 (US)
FF2 (J) = No US Release (Since released in PSX FF:Origins)
FF3 (J) = No US Release

SNES:
FF4 (J) = FF2 (US)
FF5 (J) = No US Release (Since released in FF:Anthology, Translation widely available on Internet ROMs)
FF6 (J) = FF3 (US)

The ESA has declared a great number of older games (SNES, NES and previous) copyright expired, due to the fact that they are no longer available to buy commercially and their creators recieve no profit from them, so many ROMs are available for legitimate downnload.

A good SNES ROM site is http://www.cherryroms.com/ but many of the ROMs are ESA (or IDSA) protected, meaning you can't have them as their manufactrers don't want you to.

All the ROMs? ~4000 SNES?
March 2, 2004, 6:00 PM CST by Smuff to sm284614
Thanks for your help, i'm going to game like when I was 13 all over again.
March 2, 2004, 6:07 PM CST by sm284614 to Smuff
Another satisfied customer. Viva la SNES!
March 2, 2004, 11:23 PM CST by lessthanjake to sm284614
that's weird you say that, because i played flashback last night, and i was thinking of how similiar it is to out of this world. but i didn't really understand it. i think i like out of this world better
March 3, 2004, 1:47 PM CST by SacredCraft
Kirby's Superstar.
March 3, 2004, 4:23 PM CST by Smuff to lessthanjake
You saying you understood Another World? I think Flashback is a much better game.

What other Platform games are there simular to those two? That are good.
March 3, 2004, 6:05 PM CST by sm284614 to Smuff
Prince of Persia is similar, but not really as good (as it has much less of a story) as either, but Another World/Flashback are kind of unique in their style; there aren't many games like them for the SNES.
March 3, 2004, 6:16 PM CST by khaid to Smuff
I'm with lessthanjake on that one. Flashback was excellent but Another World is better. It's a much more atmospheric game.

What's not to understand about the game? It's not like it's a deep story. You get blasted to some commie dimension that's ruled by an iron fist. You bust out of a cage with your inmate and make a run for it. In the end, you find some large bird thing and fly away.
March 3, 2004, 6:26 PM CST by lessthanjake to Smuff
okay, question. why the hell is everyone calling it "another world"???
i had the actual game for super nintendo back in the day, and i have it for my snes emulator, and i have only seen it as "out of this world." where is this another world name coming from? am i missing something?
March 3, 2004, 6:49 PM CST by khaid to lessthanjake
Hehe, I had this question too.. it was called Another World in Europe.

http://forum.pcvsconsole.com/viewthread.php?tid=1032
March 3, 2004, 6:55 PM CST by sm284614 to khaid
...and Starfox became Starwing, Illusion of Gaia became Illusion of Time. Us Europeans wouldn't understand the games otherwise. Or something about copyright issues.
March 4, 2004, 3:59 PM CST by Smuff to lessthanjake
Sorry, I should have said, i'm from the U.K. they called it Another World over here. I actually have Another World on my Emulator aswell, but it's bugged about half way through. Now I know Out of this World is the same game, i'll get that. :)

I played Flashback on my Amiga 1200, before I ever knew about "Out of this World" I never got into it.

Was there ever a Star Fox/Wing 2 for the Snes?
March 5, 2004, 3:51 AM CST by phisix to Smuff
Was there ever a Star Fox/Wing 2 for the Snes?
No, There never was a sequel. I wish there was though.
March 5, 2004, 3:55 AM CST by one_grim_reaper to Smuff
Another world was available as a straight PC game, if you hunt around you may be able to find it in a bargain bucket somewhere.

I found it for the current price of 99p what a deal.

March 5, 2004, 2:58 PM CST by sm284614 to phisix
On the contrary...

http://www.cherryroms.com/snes/3994.php

There was a sequel, it was quite far along in development too, but it was cancelled due to the impending release of the N64. If you serach hard enough, you might find a ROM.
March 5, 2004, 3:15 PM CST by phisix to sm284614
Wow. I never knew that. This is why your called the snes master. :)

How is your snes review website going?
March 5, 2004, 3:37 PM CST by sm284614 to phisix
Aaaargh, my reviews!

I recently reformatted after backing up all my importatnt stuff onto my new DVD writer. Sadly now I have a DVD which consots of the TOC only; the files are all gone; all I can see is their names.

So I've lost about fifty reviews, some articles, all the screenshots, the layout, the HTLM, and the graphics. Though reviews from some of the other people I would probably be able to get back, if they have backups of them.

This disheartening event kind of made me give up... All that work gone...

Arse.
March 6, 2004, 11:43 AM CST by amino_acids
Ah, those were the days when gaming was about content, about making an emotional connection, rather than being a hollow, all-out assault on the senses as many of them are today.
March 6, 2004, 12:51 PM CST by lumzi32
Street fighter 2. Easily
March 6, 2004, 2:34 PM CST by phisix to lumzi32
Street fighter 2 turbo was much better. That is what i think anyway.
March 6, 2004, 5:04 PM CST by sm284614 to phisix
Meh, I prefered the original; 'Turbo was somehow a bit wrong. Still, probably the third best beat'em-up ever, and certainly the best on the SNES (I'll have none of that Mortal Kombat nonsense).
March 9, 2004, 3:58 PM CST by MyDixieWrecked to sm284614
I have to go with these.

1: Legend of Zelda: A link to the Past
2: Star Ocean translated
3: Legend of Zelda: BS
4: lol Cool Spot I loved this game
5: Final Fantasy 2
6: Final Fantasy 3
7: Final Fantasy 4
8: Final Fantasy 5
9: Final Fantasy Mystic Quest
10: Super Metroid
11: Chrono Trigger
12: Earthbound

SNES rocks.
March 9, 2004, 4:24 PM CST by phisix
Indeed. It was also the first time Cammy, Dee jay, T-hawk and that chinese guy was introduced. I liked it as there was loads of fighters to fight.
March 9, 2004, 4:32 PM CST by sm284614 to phisix
No no no: 'Turbo introduced the bosses (Balrog, Vega, M.Bison, & Sagat) as playable characters, it was Super Street Fighter II that Cammy, T.Hawk, Fei-Long and DJ were introduced. I didn't really like any of those characters though. Meh.

Has anyone else played Weapon Lord? It was kind of a prequal to Soul-Edge, quite a late SNES release from Namco, and quite a good game.
March 9, 2004, 4:47 PM CST by phisix to sm284614
Meh.

I get confused with Super street fight 2 turbo, and Street fight 2 turbo. To be honest i love all the streetfighter games, and cannot wait to play Hyper street fighter 2(right name i hope) on the ps2 when it comes out.
April 11, 2004, 4:48 PM CST by shyla884 to sm284614

Another great SNES game that comes to mind is:
The Barbie game for SNES which I forgot to mention!

What a great game we have here! Barbie gives you hours of timeless fun and excitement in this game! I believe it's her only video game for SNES which is a shame! Like Mario games, there ought to be a whole series of BARBIE GAMES for SNES, along with all video game systems! What makes the game fun is that you can do so many cool things! Oh, the fun and excitement just never ends (like in Donkey Kong Country and Super Mario World). It's like playing with a Barbie doll, except your playing the doll on your SNES!, so that's even better! This game had to be mentioned because it's a classic and shouldn't be forgotten. Let's be grateful for the loads of fun and excitement Barbie brought us with this great game! The difference between a Barbie game and other games is that Barbie actually DOES something and she does it with style! So when you find yourself getting bored with your other SNES games, just pop in the Barbie game into your SNES and enjoy timeless hours of gameplay. It's not exactly easy for her to choose what fashion to wear and that's where the player helps out. Just watch Barbie change her pretty fashions and outshine all the other video games of the SNES! Go Girl!

4. Killer Instinct
5. Contra III
6. Donkey Kong Country III
7. Spanky's Quest!

10. Final Fantasy II (IV)
April 12, 2004, 11:27 AM CST by sm284614 to Arande
I thought Super SFII was a step in the wrong direction really; the combos and other stuff began to overcomplicate it.
April 18, 2004, 8:27 PM CST by xylazartrazalyx to sm284614
what avout Kirby Superstar?
That was awesome!
And I like Super Metroid, just because I like Metroid games. (I like Kirby Superstar the most because I like Kirby games. But all the others ike Zelda 3, Yoshis Island are awesome
April 18, 2004, 8:40 PM CST by andrewc513

Uniracers was the coolest game ever...you just raced unicycles on these amazingly massive tracks doing tricks and stuff.
April 19, 2004, 4:00 AM CST by phisix to Knives
That's what it's called. I've been wondering what that game was called for years now.

I wonder what ever happend to that game. I remember I never got rid of it.
April 26, 2004, 10:36 PM CST by rnvtime to sm284614
Um, lets see:

A Link To The Past (Damn Good)
Final Fantasy II, III(In the U.S.)
Super Metroid
Secret of Mana
Super Tecmo Bowl
Mario Kart
Super Mario World
Phalanx(underrated shooter)
Super Mario All-Stars

and a whole lot more that I can't remember.
Street Fighter(Hyper, Turbo, etc)
May 1, 2004, 7:48 PM CST by crapple33
One game no one has mentioned but definitely deserves attention would have to be Gundam Wing: Endless Duel. I had never even seen the series when I first played the game, but even then, I thought it was an awesome fighter. Better than Street Fighter in my opinion.
May 13, 2004, 1:06 PM CST by Nos4a2 to crapple33
Ive seen several people here say Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo....
This was NOT released for SNES.

If you saw Akuma(Gouki) on Snes, you were playing SFA2.

Only systems to have SSF2T are 3DO (fantastic port of it),
and I believe it is on one of the SF2 Collections for PSX/Saturn
And Dreamcast has a japanese only version of it called SSF2T-X I believe.
(Grand Master Challenge)

Snes had SF2(World Warriors), SF2 Turbo (Hyper), Super Street Fighter 2(New Challengers), and Street Fighter Alpha(Zero) 2.
Oh, and Street Fighter 2010 if you want to count that.(er was that nes...)

And while Im here, my favs:
(Im leaving out the obvious ones;Contras,Zeldas,Marios,SF2s,Mk2,StarFox,etc..)

Aladdin
Out of this World (I played through this again yesterday, still awesome)
Blackthorne
Faceball 2000 (First FPS deathmatch I ever saw!)
MicroMachines
Mario Paint
ShadowRun (Fav RPG Ever)
DBZ Super Botouden 3
EarthWorm Jim
Lost Vikings
Rock & Roll Racing
Super Star Wars
Shaq Fu
(Oh, not for gameplay, because its the most ridiculously egotistical video game made since MoonWalker.)

and I gotta mention Flashback myself, but for different reasons.

I just played this, and while I used to love it, and I still think it was a great game for its day....
The control is not so hot.
When I picked it up yesterday I spent 3 or 4 minutes trying to jump up and grab one ledge.
I guess I did not appreciate fine controls when I was that age, becuase I never noticed a problem then, I just thought it was a hard game.

But maybe its just me...
May 22, 2004, 4:26 AM CST by Pumaspasm
Hey, I just read these posts, and I read that they cancelled Starfox 2; and that their never was a sequal, and this isnt true! There was a sequal, it was just on the 64BIT Nintendo, rather than the old 16BIT.
I know that its hard to find Nintendo 64 ROMs, but if you search around (can I post links?) you'll find some.. And you might even find Starfox 64.

Don't beleave me? I have the N64 cartrage in the next room!

Oh, and on another note.. "Another world" is 20bytes larger than "Out of this world..." So do yourself a favour, and get the US version! =p
May 22, 2004, 4:34 AM CST by earthling10
No one seems to mention this but i have always found the Snes pad to be the most comfortable pad ever. I like the PSP's button layout which looks the same but with a handy anolgue stick.

I still use my snes pad on my PC
May 23, 2004, 11:09 PM CST by Nos4a2 to Pumaspasm
Your talking about Starfox 64, not Starfox 2.

StarFox 2 is 16bit Snes, and it was made, just not finished or released commercially.

Poke around on one of your roms sites, you should be able to find the unfinished version of it.
And as far as Out of this World goes, I was talking about the US version, so if there is a game called Another World, it must be a sequel/spinoff.

Never heard of it though, Im gonna have to go look into it.

and earthling10,
Could not agree more, best pack-in control pad ever made, hands down.
I still use one myself, but I actually use the Capcom 6 buttons in a row version.
May 24, 2004, 3:35 AM CST by khaid to Nos4a2
Nah, Out of this World and Another World are the same games. Another World was its name in Europe.
May 24, 2004, 3:40 AM CST by guicho80 to khaid
Youve got it all wrong mang. Another World was that spinoff of the Cosby show.
August 4, 2004, 5:38 PM CST by sm284614
I've decided that the answer is Chrono Trigger.

Honourable mentions: Super Mario Kart, Super Mario World, Final Fantasy VI, Zelda, and Super Metroid.
August 4, 2004, 5:45 PM CST by superSONIC to sm284614
Sadly you are mistaken, that honor belongs to none other than:

Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
August 4, 2004, 5:51 PM CST by 200c
MegamanX, megamanX2, Super Mario world, mario kart, kirbies avalanch, Need for speed, The mortal kombat games, nhl 96, Starfox, Killer instinct, all the DK games, F-zero, earth worm jim games, super mario allstars. Holy crap.... snes rulez.
August 5, 2004, 2:56 AM CST by going2getya to sm284614
yeah cos there was already a game entitled "Starfox" on the spectrum, c64 and amstrad cpc.
so when starfox came to UK (not sure about europe) it was changed to Starwing
August 5, 2004, 3:07 AM CST by going2getya to one_grim_reaper
There are too many to mention...

SF2Turbo
Zelda 3
Super Mario Kart
Super Bomberman (Preferred the original Dyna Blaster - 5 player mayhem)
Starwing/fox
FF games
Chrono Trigger
Super Mario Allstars
Super MArio World


Another World (Out of This World (US)) first appeared on the Amiga and Atari ST, then ported to PC and eventually reached snes and megadrive.
Same could be said for the majority of non nintendo/sega titles they always appeared first on computers.
August 12, 2004, 6:25 PM CST by adamjon858 to sm284614
Yes... Mario Kart does deserve an award. But my all time favorite has to be Super Mario RPG. THAT GAME ROX
August 12, 2004, 7:45 PM CST by Hawk4x4
I never owned a SNES. I was too content with my Genesis. Did I miss out?
August 12, 2004, 7:56 PM CST by superSONIC to Hawk4x4
Depends, if you had to pick between the two, then no. The SNES had ALOT of great titles, but of the two I still think Genesis was better.
September 25, 2004, 8:22 AM CST by davidj to superSONIC
I see alot of good games here... but why didnt anyone bring X-Kaliber 2097 to there list? its a "classic"...
but i would put Zelda 3 on the top of my list with mario world on second... i remember i played mortal combat and street figther alot...
September 25, 2004, 9:40 AM CST by one_grim_reaper
In my humble opinion the best SNES game ever was secret of mana II, i loved that game to bits.
September 25, 2004, 10:48 AM CST by masyauefa
Chrono Trigger is with no doubt the best game for SNES.
Well, atleast for those who love RPG...
September 25, 2004, 11:07 AM CST by da_deadly_sniper
My favourite Snes title of all time was.....wait for it.....Killer Instinct.

That game was well fun. I forgot what character I used to play it with, but he rocked.

It should be re-released on the GBA.

This thread is a strange thing. Go to google and type in "best snes game ever", " best snes game", or even just "best snes", and this place comes up first.

This means we have an awesome responsibility to the internet, and the world to provide the truth. This truth doesn't include X-kaliber 2097, but many of the other games are important.

My favorite by far is Zelda Link to the Past. Runner ups include Donkey Kong Country, Street Fighter II, Killer instinct, and Super Ghouls n Ghosts.

offcourse chrono trigger.
that's a given.
but did everyone forget about Uniracers?
It represents a lot of what gaming is all about, such as unicycles that have no riders on them, and that are doing flips while riding on tracks that float and are (according to the startup screen) approximately one foot wide. Brilliant.
Oh, and International Superstar Soccer Deluxe. Still the best soccergame around, because of that little thing developers tend to forget these days called GAMEPLAY!!!

By the way, apart from being the best overall console ever, the snes also had the single best controller design of all time.

I feel like posting some games too then...

- Secret of Evermore (best game IMO);

- Knights of the Round;
- Rock 'n Roll Racing;
- Prince of Persia (the jap, first one...);
- Breath of Fire II;
- Demon's Crest;
- Actraiser II;
- The King of Dragons;
- Super Mario RPG;

Cant think of many more right now... they are not in order of greatness though, only Secret of Evermore.

Hey grim_reaper, have you played this game? I dont know, but I think it has everything Secret of Mana has and a lot more...
