Essential SNES games?

TheStook

Right so being born in 94 I pretty much missed the SNES generation and only got one today. I only have Ghosts N Ghouls atm and Im looking to get a lot more.

So far I have my sights on Super Metroid, SM All stars/SM World, DK Country and Secret of Mana. Id also love Zelda LTTP but that would require a lot of saving lol.

Are there any others that yee guys personally love?

On top of the ones you've mentioned, here's a few I really liked:

Alien 3
F-Zero
Mario Kart
Super Tennis
SF 2 Turbo
Yoshi's Island

Corholio

Castlevania
Super Probotector
Skyblazer
Super Strike Gunner
Pocky and Rocky

KeRbDoG

Super Metroid
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

Edit: ah already on your list They aren't that expensive if unboxed OR you could get yourself a Super Everdrive which supports the majority of the ROMs/games

Donkey Kong Country, whoops I see you have that.
Looking through my own collection Bomberman, NBA Jam, Cannon Fodder although I actually haven't played it on the snes, was a pc classic for me, no idea where I picked that up.

Might not be a bad idea getting your console modded and buying Japanese versions, will work out much cheaper in the long run and you can play the games at 60hz

Zombies ate my Neighbours
Shadowrun
Secret of Mana

CosmicSmash

Chrono Trigger,
Actraiser,
Mario rpg,

Get it modded and pick up a Super UFO 8. No dsp support but worth it for fan translations alone, they can be had for fifty euro.

Earthbound

eddhorse

Sunset Riders

martineatworld

Goof Troop
Killer Instinct
Mickey Mania
Mystical Ninja


All nice cheap ones to get you started. Andrew76's list in particular is great.

No, this is evil.

Shan Fu is one of those games that isn't as bad as the reputation it gets. It reviewed well on release and only has a bad rep now because of its unique controls that are had to grasp. It's a decent game, nothing stellar and not the stinker some people make it out to be.

Reminds me of your excuses for Zelda on the CDi!

Retr0gamer

I'll stad by both statements. It's easy to dismiss shaq fu now due to the weird controls and very high difficulty but you have to learn it before you enjoy it. Like the first two zelda Cdi games its easy to dismiss if you only give the game a few minutes play time. The game reviewed rather well, the much better megadrive game in particular, and only received a negative preception when the joke website about destroying all copies of the game became popular. It's a bit like the zelda Cdi games which were considered quite good until the IGN article about them.

Shadow Run is one of my favourite RPGs of all time. Definite must on the SNES. I'm always surprised when it doesn't turn up in top tens.

Shadow Run - Indeed, great game. Much better than the Genesis version.

Cannon Fodder - did Cannon Fodder 2 get released on the SNES/Genesis?
