MORE SNES GAMES PLEASE
 

Ok, I'm slowly getting introduced to rockin' SNES games. I never owned one, but my friends are all "well other than evo there is nothing else to play if you don't like final fantasy." And I think that's bullshit. This other thread mentioned Soul Blade, I tried it, its exactly like Crystalis but I love that game so its awesome. The website introduced me to Deamon's Quest or whatever it was. Totally rad. Now, I need more great games. I thought that the SNES had something worth playing, but never played them. Help me be educated, I've been playing NES for 18 straight years now and its time for me to upgrade to the next generation.

EVO was a great game. My teenage aunt and I played it a lot as a kid and we kept dying at the same spot. We never realized you had to upgrade your guy by hitting select, so the shark just kept murdering us.

Zombies Ate My Neighbors is a really, really fun multiplayer experience. Hard, too.

The mechanics in Donkey Kong Country have always been some of my favorites, so give the first and second one a try. I heard the third one sucked, though.

Earthbound is good, but picks up slow. I couldn't imagine getting through it without a fast-forward key.

The Megaman X series before it lost all its apeal

Metal Warriors Has an amazing multiplayer

Tinstar

Zelda a Link to the Past

Gun Force

Super Bomberman

Super Metroid

Doom Troopers

Lost Vikings

Chrono Trigger

I heard Gadzooks say that in the "Games that suck" thread but it's not true. As far as gameplay goes Donkey Kong Country 3 is identical to the first two except for the inclusion of the boat you use to go from one area to the next which is actually awesome, especially once you get the cannon on it. I've never spent so much time in a game looking for secret areas.

Well I'm not retarded, I mean I've played the one's we talk about all the friggen time like metroid and zelda. But don't give me "was pretty cool" games, I want "man this is fun I can play it for hours" games.

Not to say that what has been mentioned so far hasn't been good, I just haven't checked all of them out yet.

Well, my opinions are the closest thing to the truth. If you found stupid shit like that fun, King Hadas, you should try JAWS for the NES. It doesn't help that all the levels in the game are boring re-hashes from the previous two games either. And who in their right mind wants to play as a baby? Not even a 5 year old would.

Donkey Kong Country 3 sucks and so do it's fans.

Supa, if you're looking for lesser-known titles, check out Rocky Rodent, Super Buster Brothers and Mega Man Soccer (it's awesome and i don't care what you say)

Illusion of Gaia and Terranigma. Lenor figures Illusion of Gaia is too hard and it sucks, so you'll enjoy it.

Rock n' Roll Racing strangely hasn't been mentioned yet.

I dunno, there are so many good SNES games it's kind of hard to keep track and I'm not next to my collection.

Illusion of Gaia isn't tough but it isn't very good either ;)


edit: oh and I should mention The Twisted Tales of Spike McFang since I doubt anyone else will...

I'm also a sucker for Paladin's Quest but everyone else tells me it sucks... oh well.

another edit: Oh yeah and if you are emulating, pick up a translation and rom of Treasures of the Rudras. Good shiz.

I'll think of more when I'm not at work...

Don't listen to tim. Illusion of Gaia rules.

Yeah, go play it and find out for yourself. I just don't like it. I have a stupid story about that game too. I got it one year for Christmas during the time it came out... I made my parents take it back.. Even though I've played it since then and still don't like it, it would have been nice to have it as part of my collection/boxed.

I don't know why you dislike it so much. I went to gamefaqs to check out what most people thought and the majority gave very favorable reviews. It's a fun game and part of an unofficial trilogy :O

It just felt very generic, hard to get specify since it's been a few years or so. I'll boot it up again sometime shortly and point out what I didn't like specifically if you really want. I gave Terranigma a chance on emulator but didn't play enough to really get into it so maybe I'd like that one. I did however play a bunch of Soul Blazer back in the day and I thought it sucked balls. :(

Oh and I'm not saying it's the worst game ever or that I HATE IT SO MUCH. Just pointing out that I don't like it since everyone else wanks all over it.

i really liked robotrek and the twisted tales of spike mcfang!

Well, cool, someone did mention it...

sorry i didn't even notice you had mentioned it tim. it's also a game i go back and play alot. i actually didn't get an snes until i was like 16, i had always just played my friends, i had a genesis. there was a game we used to play through alot i think was called sunset riders, i remember it being pretty fun to

Some other good titles:

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
Super Ghouls n' Ghosts
Super R-Type
Battletoads in Battlemaniacs
Battletoads and Double Dragon
Kirby Superstar

I liked the Actraiser series.

Super Earth Defense Force

I'm just glad it gets some props. Spike McFang is a highly underrated game.

I liked the first a lot more than the 2nd.


Axelay is pretty well known but didn't see it mentioned. Really enjoyed that shmup.

Pocky and Rocky, The Lion King, and Shadow Run. And if anyone asks about the Genesis Shadow Run, I don't care, I like SNES better. :(

Both Joe & Mac games.

Super Mario RPG. Hands down.

You might as well mention Super Mario World, Pilotwings and F-Zero while you're at it :(
