Super Nintendo (General snes gaming thread)

Re: Super Nintendo (General snes gaming thread)

games you should at least play once to know what quality gaming actually consists of:


~Classics~

-Donkey Kong Country 2 (all the games in the series are fantastic, but this is easily the best one. Rareware defined quality gaming in the mid-late 90's)

-Chrono Trigger (overhyped, overplayed, totally one of the best games ever anyway)

-Earthbound (if you really want to get into quirky pop culture and rpgs, this is easily one of the best for its genre)

-Super ****ing Metroid

-Super Mario RPG (square before they got mad at nintendo for making cartridges on n64)

-Kirby Super Star (best kirby game to date, non debatable.)

-Starfox (choppy and laggy at parts, but for the snes this is very impressive)

-Super Mario World 1+2 (cuz, well, hard to ignore the classics)

-Megaman X, X2, X3



Personal picks:

-Breath of fire

-Kirby's Avalanche/Kirby's Ghost Trap/Super Puyo Puyo/Super Puyo Puyo tsuu

-Pannel de Pon/Tetris Attack

-Secret of Mana

-Brandish

-Pocky & Rocky (Touhou v1.0 alpha)

-Goof Troop (Probably best multiplayer game ever, try it)

-Madou Monogatari

-Kirby's Dream Land 3

-Yoshi's Cookie

-Romancing Saga 3

-Super Bomberman 1/2/3/4/5

-Mario Paint (seriously if you're ever bored, this is the best)

-Super Castlevania 4



this is all I can think of off the top of my head right now

Re: Super Nintendo (General snes gaming thread)

God damn, my SNES broke about a year ago. It's all ****ed up. It keeps resetting itself when I turn games on. Makes me sad.

Especially because I have a lot of epic games for it. E.g. Final Fantasy II+III, all the DKCs, Super mario 7 stars, all the Mega Mans, Secret of Mana, Breath of Fire I + II, Earthbound, Chrono Trigger, Super mario world, Super Metroid, Kirby Superstar...

Re: Super Nintendo (General snes gaming thread)

ahhhh SNES RPGs...
Gold. *=favs
*Tales of Phantasia,
*Lufia 2,
*FF3,
Seikendetsu 3,
*Soublazer,
Secret of Mana,
Terranigma,
*Illusion of Gaia,
Donkey Kong 3

anyone who's played Lufia 2, tell me how many of the iris treasures you've gotten? I've gotten 7 so far

I managed to get them all except one. Soul Blazer/Illusion of Gaia/Terranigma were an amazing series.

Secret of Mana/Evermore (yes I include it even though a lot of weeaboos don't) were awesome games.

I've got all the us released RPGs for the SNES (in cartridge form) that weren't copies of shit on the pc like Ultima.

My favorite is probably Earthbound, it's easily the most amazing snes game that came out, even beating out shit like FF etc.

Lufia series is amazing even though 2 is buggy as hell, Breath of Fire series is still one of my favorites despite the fact that 5 basically kicked it into a gutter and curb stomped it to death. FF games were actually really interesting because they could make a story without worrying about amazing graphics...sigh. I miss SNES quality stories...

Re: Super Nintendo (General snes gaming thread)

Most underrated SNES game? Secret of Evermore.

Re: Super Nintendo (General snes gaming thread)

don't start this war... it's mario bros 3. no ifs, ands or buts....

SMB3 is indeed awesome, but it cannot compare to DKC2... I am prepared to write an essay defending my choice!!

[Mike Weedmark]

Re: Super Nintendo (General snes gaming thread)

DKC2 is good, but is really not on the level you think it is, and SMB3 might be the most influential game of all time, but it's definitely not the best... Not that I didn't wake up 2 hours before school every day in first grade so I could play it.

The best game changes all the time depending on what you need accomplished for you. I don't play FF6 for challenge, FFR for story, or Mass Effect for its music.*

* I don't play Mass Effect at all, because it blows. I just needed an example of a game with really boring tracks.

Mass Effect is amazing, but anyways...

All the good games are pretty much already said, no need to say the same things as everyone else.

Re: Super Nintendo (General snes gaming thread)

you're right SMB3 most influential. and THE game of my childhood. we'll call it:
LEGENDARY!

Re: Super Nintendo (General snes gaming thread)

I never had an SNES as a kid, so I just played through some of these games for the first time pretty recently.

Super Metroid is an awesome example of how to leave map exploration entirely in the player's hands. DKC2 is just way too much fun. Super Mario RPG is basically the only JRPG I've ever played... which is kinda sad. should probably fix that sometime.

Re: Super Nintendo (General snes gaming thread)

I think everyone named most of the good ones already but some of my favorites are:

Donkey Kong Country (all 3)
Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World
Venom/Spider-Man: Seperation Anxiety
Super Star Wars (all 3)
Pitfall The Mayan Adventure
Clue
Monopoly
Kirby Superstar
Vegas Stakes
TMNT:IV
Daffy Duck: The Marvin Missions
Looney Tunes B-ball (I normally don't care for sports games but I love this one)

Re: Super Nintendo (General snes gaming thread)

I think that Donkey Kong, not DK 2 should be listed.

Just sayin, that started the whole holy crap look what we can do stuff.

I disagree. DKC was a great game, no doubt, but DKC2 upped the bar so much. The way the game was designed was so brilliant, and the secrets were so consistent and well hidden. I think it probably pioneered the idea of having intelligent hints for all of the secrets throughout the game too. Bananas to indicate when pits wont kill you, for instance. And it kept it consistent, not just sometimes having a banana over a pit that will kill you, just for a laugh.

DKC2 > DKC1 and DKC3

Re: Super Nintendo (General snes gaming thread)

I don't know if any of you are familiar with this website, but http://snesbox.com/ is a fairly new site that is basically a web browser SNES emulator where you can play practically any SNES game on their website, even has a few different features such as savestates that save to your account, built in netplay (yes, there is multiplayer with their emulator), and walkthroughs where you can save full playthroughs of any game you want and watch other members playthroughs.

Re: Super Nintendo (General snes gaming thread)

DKC2 is definitely the best of all 3 in my opinion! I loved the step up it took from DKC1, the level design was awesome, the music was much better, the game was more challenging and I liked the inclusion of secret Kaizoish levels heh. DKC2 isn't my fav game of all time but it is up there. I'm actually doing a co-op on my YouTube channel cause it's awesome! XD
