My favourite snes games from 10 to 1

Vampireskiss

10.Super castlevania 4(although I prefered cas 2 on the nes,and symphony of the night on the ps is the best cas ever)

9.Super Ghouls and Ghosts

8.Super Mario World

7.super probotector

6.Prinse of persia

5.Super Metroid

4.Chronotrigger

3.Final fantasy 6(3 in the states)

2.Zelda 3

1.Shadow run

PirateShampoo

No StreetFighter on your list so there for you Fail

animaX

Agreed with most of them up until number 2 and number 1!! Metroid would be higher for me.

Retr0gamer

I'd say it's a great list. And street fighter should be played in the arcade not on the SNES :P

Here's mine off the top of my head:

10. Axelay

9. Yoshi's Island

8. Demon's Crest

7. Earthbound

6. Assault Suit Valkens

5. Chrono Trigger

4. Super Mario World

3. Final Fantasy 6

2. Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past

1. Super Metroid

There's plenty of games I haven't played on the SNES that I'm sure are contenders like Lufia 2, Shin Megami Tensei, the Soul Blazer trilogy by Quintet and I've only started secret of mana.

I don't particularly like beat em up games although I was good at street fight 2, but its my list, my opinion so I can write what I like, Prince of persia and shadow run are such underrated games.

Do you mean link to the past or are we talkin gameboy player?!

Agree with number 1.

Secret of Mana is amazing, would be in my top ten for sure. Last boss is a bitch though :pac:

No secret of mana , thats a surprise. Links awaking is the GB title,you mean a link to the past right?

missed the end of your post, have you played prince of persia and shadow run

Retr0gamer

Just editted that zelda typo

There's no secret of mana because I've only recently gotten around to playing it and giving it a good go. I think it's aged quite a bit but is still an excellent game but not top 10 material for me. Then again I've only played 5 hours of it.

missed the end of your post, have you played prince of persia and shadow run

I haven't played Shadowrun but it's on my to do list since it's supposed to be excellent. Prince of Persia is indeed a classic but I normally associate it with the PC version not the Snes version which I haven't played.

K.O.Kiki

Secret of Mana is the buggiest, messiest, most dumbed-down action RPG you will LOVE LIKE YOUR OWN CHILDREN.

Make sure you play the ROM version that adds in loads of extra text (or play the German version )

Vampireskiss

The reason I like Shadow run so much is that is was so ahead of its time, you had to save up money to upgrade weapons and armour and also magic spells, you also got karma points to upgrade, things like leadership,chrissma, stregth, body, magic etc.You had to hack into computers and hire other mercenarys some were better with guns, some were better with magic, the atmosphere, everything about this games was class

Prince of persia on the snes, was a classic because of the puzzle element and level design. I probably have it too high on the list but it def top 10 for me

Vampireskiss

ok I edited my original list a bit now

Vampireskiss

Alien 3 is another that deserves a mention too, its very like Super Metroid but I think because the game areas look similar throughout the wholegame put people off a bit

Vampireskiss

Here is prince of persia on the snes, what I like about was the skill it required and the puzzles

The Donkey Kong Country games? They where amazing at the time.

Retr0gamer

Oh god no. The donkey kong country games were slightly above average platformers hiding behind excellent graphics for their time that now look awful.

Loved Super Castlevania as well. I liked Simons Quest but I got horribly stuck due to how awful the clues were handled in the game. It's literally impossible without a walkthrough. Still prefer Castlevania 3 and Rondo of Blood of the traditional 2D Cv games.

If anyone likes Super Metroid they need to play demons crest. It's a brilliant and gorgeous looking game let down a bit by the lack of a battery save system but is brilliant none the less (and modern emulators have save points in case you don't have time for a 6 hour marathon session).

No mario kart or rock n roll racing......

Retr0gamer

Meh. I like mario kart but don't love it as much as most people. I wouldn't put it in my top 10 with the huge amount of quality on the SNES. Perhaps it's because when I was younger I was too busy playing mega bomberman and the j cart enabled micro machines 2 on the megadrive with friends and didn't get to play a snes that much and missed out on the buzz. I only really started getting into mario kart for MK64 with some crazy multiplayer sessions on that but it certainly wasn't the best of the series.

Haven't really played rock n' roll but it's good but hardly top 10 material. It's no F-zero in singleplayer.

Vampireskiss

Catlevania:Symphony of the night on the PS one is the best castlevania ever bcause of the rpg element

Kinetic^

You played micro machines instead of Mario Kart? You sir, really need to take a long look in the mirror!

animaX

Rock n Roll racing had the most epic soundtrack EVER

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sPrZW2wXP4

Retr0gamer

I'm sorry, my parents got me a megadrive despite asking for a snes when I was younger

I agree that Symphony of the night is the best castlevania by miles because of the metroid exploration elements but there's a lot more to that game that made it superb as a whole. I have a soft spot though for the old linear games but would never rank rondo of blood or castlevania 3 over Symphony.

I agree, the games these days have lost something that the games of yesterday had, I mean thats why I like simons quest so much. I also prefer the older resident evil games 1 and 2 over RE4 even though that is supposed to be one of the best games ever made.maybe its just my nostalgia talking

You should check this out.

Jazzy

um, Super Mario Kart? still the best in the series
zombies ate my neighbours needs to be in there too
Super R-Type is a personal fave
I liked Killer Instinct too

Retr0gamer

Super R-type can **** off and take a long walk off a short pier. I love R-type 2 but super r-type removes the mid level checkpoints and turns a fantastic and challenging game into the gaming equivalent of an unbearable ****. R-type 3 makes a mockery of it.

o1s1n

Rock n' Roll racing does not deserve to be mentioned. It's a very mediocre game that was only made slightly interesting by the music. Which has a grand total of six songs. (You'll notice it looping very very quickly) One used as the title music. Stay clear.

Oh and the controls are awful too. Micro Machines wins hands down.

I feel your pain man, I feel your pain. Just last week I finished Super Mario World for the FIRST time. It feels like showing up to a party so late that the building it was held in has since been demolished and most of the people who where at it are dead now.

Also, reminded me of this:

You haven't finished it until you get all 96 exits

Nah, you're right. I've been complaining about this gen (handhelds excluded) in the retro forum.

Halla Basin

10. Super Mario All Stars
9. Super Mario Kart
8. Worms
7. Harvest Moon
6. Super Metroid
5. Super Mario RPG
4. Super Mario World
3. Donkey Kong Country 2
2. Chrono Trigger
1. Zelda: A Link to the Past

My logic is undeniable.

I like that list... gimmie a few hours to think about mine!!

Jazzy

ooohhh, i loved cybernator as well

Retr0gamer

The japanese version assault suit valken is better. They cut a load out for the wesern release. Thanks god there's a fan sub of the original.

Vampireskiss

I dint expect Super Metroid to be so high on peoples lists, do ye really think its that good and before you ask I have played and finished it once I still think zelda 3,FF6 and shadow run are better, Ny love for shadow run is probably more down to nostalgia then anything else.

Vampireskiss

Yo retro gamer have you played super Aleste , I would have that above axelay

Retr0gamer

I have played super aleste. Think it's absolute quality but for me Axelay is the best SNES shoot'em up game. I know most people rate Super Aleste above it.

As for Super Metroid I really do think it's that good. For me it's the perfect videogame. It's just pure brilliance all the way through and I always end up playing it at least once a year. Very thing is great about it, the music, how it looks and above all how it tells a great story with only a few lines of dialogue at the start of the game. Even though the main quest is superb there's always sequence breaking which is just as much fun if you want to explore more of the game.

fúck VC, Nintendo!!

Re-release this on the DS. I'd pay to play this on a portable device. It could look amazing like Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow.

Jazzy

Race ya around Zebes Retr0?
I didnt see the big deal about Donkey Kong COuntry either. wasnt actually that good a game. I much preferred playing sim city on the snes instead

noodler

I had a Snes but I can barely remember the games on it.

I didn't have many - they were too expensive. I remember my first one though, that Super Mario Cartidge with all 4 games on it.

Obviously Street Fighter, Desert/Counter Strike (was that the Megadrive?) and vaguely remember A jurasic Park game.

Wish I has played FF6 back in the day cos it was tough going on the PS1.

Retr0gamer

FF6 was an US and japan only release so unless you were willing to spend something like 100+ irish pounds in mr calculator you wouldn't be playing it.

As far as I know the strike games were on the SNES.

The Strike games were on the Megadrive. So many good games mentioned in this thread makes me want to set up my megadrive and snes and just start kicking ass again.

o1s1n

Desert Strike was released first on the Megadrive. It then got ported to a load of other systems, including the Snes.

Same goes for the other games. Well, up until Urban Strike. Soviet Strike & Nuclear Strike were on 32 bit systems.

The final game, Future Strike was never finished and instead became Future Cop LAPD. (Which is feckin great!)

Retr0gamer

Urban strike wasn't a 32-bit game it was on the snes and megadrive. Loads of funny cameos in it like a hidden elvis.

I never said it was a 32 bit game! read my post again :P I had it on release. The levels outside the helicopter where you were running around in buildings really let the game down.

Oopsy, thats what I get for skimming over posts

It was re-released for the ps2. They cleaned up the graphics and effects, and upped the resolution a bit. Have a copy at home but haven't played it in a long time, think it was a japanese release only. (Europe got it too, so says the internet)
