Whats your favorite SNES Game?

[TheBlackLuffy]

Mine is probably Super Mario RPG: Seven Stars

With Earthbound quickly becoming a close second.

 

[Cyn]

Super World

I've never Beaten Super Mario World! I recently bought it on VC to do just that! Dang good game though.


lol "Metroid"

Super Samus is the best game in the Samus series.

Up on the reals, though, it's probably this:

I've never actually played this on a SNES, my childhood self has only ever experienced it on PS1. Out of all of the SNES games I've played this one really stuck with me. I've been wanting to revisit it for a while. Anyone know if the DS port is worth the $25+ price tag it normally carries?

 

[TimeChain]

There're a lot of great SNES games. But if I had to choose, it'll probably go to Mega Man X. Fast run-and-gun action with awesome music and a ton of content. But I also love Super Metroid, Super Castlevania IV, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, and Super Mario World. I've dabbled into Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy VI. They're pretty good from what I played. I really need to go back and play them more...

 

[Zink Imp]

Final Fantasy II (IV)

 

[wingedarcher7]

Definitely between EarthBound and A Link to the Past, but I think EarthBound would end up winning in the end.

This is my pick. And yes, the DS port is worth the 25 dollars. Best version of Chrono Trigger out there. Extra dungeons aren't that interesting but a nice addition. Also extra ending too written by Masato Kato. The new best equipment makes you really OP, but it's not like the game was that difficult.

 

[djtatsujin]

I played many of the staples, but my favorite offbeat SNES game was Legend of the Mystical Ninja. A challenging game that had a lot of things to get sidetracked with.

 

[Pachinkosam]

Super punch out

 

[eklyps12]

Terranigma!

 

[radio silent]

I could give you my real answer and say Super Metroid or A Link to the Past.

But I'll just say it's Umihara Kawase, just to look hip.

 

[Soup's On!]

Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer, and I'm not sure how much I need/should post to explain why that is, but here goes anyhow:

Spoiler

There are so many good SNES games, but most of the ones that are considered good or the best are just ones I can't really bring myself to replay. Mega Man X? A good game, but when I try and pick it up to replay its goodness I just put it down after a stage or two. Super Mario RPG? Very fun, but same problem. Chrono Trigger? Link to the Past? Mario World? I've never been able to maintain interest long enough to beat them, much less replay.

But the one I DO keep going back to? Shiren.

I like that, like all good roguelikes/roguelites/whatevers, it's a semi-random adventure that doesn't take much to get started in. I can do several plays of Shiren in a day. I like that there's still a sense of permanence thanks to warehouses and the events in towns, meaning each run isn't in a vacuum: after every time I play, I know I did something that'll impact my next run.

I like that its rules are simple: an objection does an action, and for 95% of the items that's it. Cleverness in Shiren isn't about whatever special trick was coded in for that specific instance. It's knowing you have a Knockback Staff, a Switching Staff, and an impassable river, and if you Knockback an enemy over the river then use the Switching, tada, you got past it.

I like that it doesn't annoy me too often with non-gameplay fluff. It's there, and there's occasional scenes, but by and large it's you and the game. Pick it up, play, well, you died, but you have something to look forward to for next time. And if you REALLY want something serious, there's always the Final Puzzle...

I love what it does and I can't find anything that does it better for me. I've been playing it for years, which, for better or worse, is more than can be said for my history with the SNES classics.

 

[Smashboy1337]

IMO probably A Link to the Past.

 

[Smashboy1337]

I've never Beaten Super Mario World! I recently bought it on VC to do just that! Dang good game though!

Agreed.

 

[CassandraZD]

Oof, this is a really tough one. I don't have one favourite on this console. It's a tie between Yoshi's Island, Super Mario World, and A Link to the Past. All three are equally good to me.

 

[Nixon Corral]

Super Mario World or F-Zero

But that's selling the console short. It also has greats like Castlevania IV, Yoshi's Island, the DKC series, EarthBound, A Link to the Past, Street Fighter II, Earthworm Jim, Final Fight, and Super Metroid. It's hard to pick just one. Way too much good stuff.

 

[Spennicus]

Mortal Kombat II
SimCity
NBA Jam: Tournament Edition (mainly because you can use cheat codes to play as Hillary Clinton, DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince, The Beastie Boys, and so many more)

 

[KevN くコ:彡]

Dang man, there are so many amazing games for this thing, its like choosing between your children. I love the Donkey Kong Country series, but then there is Super Mario All Stars, Battletoads, and Super Metroid. Oh, and don't forget about the RPGs. Too many good games to count.

 

[Heroine of Winds]

It's a tie between ALTTP & Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars for me.

 

[KirbCider]

Definitely Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars.

I can't think of any other game on the SNES that I spent playing practically non-stop as a kid before the N64 stepped in.

 

[Elyssa Xey Hexen]

Lufia and the Fortress of Doom.

 

[Grizzmeister]

My top 5 favorite SNES games are:

1) Weaponlord
2) Super Mario Kart
3) Street Fighter 2 Turbo
4) Mortal Kombat II
5) Earthworm Jim

 

[NTHPlayr]

Earthbound. Favorite SNES game and 2nd favorite game of all time.

 

[Flareon]

It's a tie between Earthbound, Mega Man X, and Super Mario World for me.

 

[Deleted member]

It's hard to say, since there's so many great games available for the system. The DKC games, perhaps?

 

[Plunder]

Some popular favorites of mine:

Kirby's Dream Course - it's deceptively deep and the music was awesome

Super Mario RPG - Legend of the Seven Stars - timeless art style and revolutionary game play

As for off the wall favorites -

U.N. Squadron - such a unique style with memorable music and SFX

Firepower 2000 - So many countless hours playing co-op with my brother and father

[delcamex]

My favorite games have to be:

-Mega Man X
-Mario World
-Donkey Kong Country 3

Aaaaaaaand it might seems a little weird, but I LOVE International Super Star Soccer Deluxe, I don't know/care if it's a good game or not, I just have so much fun out of it! It has simple controls, difficult games with the CPU, it's just... the best football game evur. Period.

 

[sovereigntea]

SMBWorld, LttP, Super Metroid, and Top Gear admittedly

 

[ELITEWarri0r115]

[ZomBiehn]

Zombies ate my neighbor s wins hands down, and super ghouls and ghosts comes in at a close second

 

[Reila]

Nice taste in games, OP!

My favorite is Donkey Kong Country 2, which is also my favorite game of all time.

 

[shadenexus18]

Too many sweet titles to choose from.

- Turtles in Time. TMNT (my dream that probably won't happen is to see Leonardo in a Smash Bros title.)

- Super Mario RPG (love playing as Geno, Mallow, and especially Bowser. I like using the Hurly Gloves. Bowser grabs Mario and throws him at the enemy.)

- Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (did you know I had to play this game again as an adult because I could not beat it as a kid?)

- Super R- Type (highly underrated SNES title. The music is bliss.)

- Street Fighter 2 Turbo

- Gradius (another underrated shooter that is really enjoyable ESPECIALLY teh Boss Rush!)

^ Love that level!
