SNES games

The MegaMan X series on the SNES is brilliant.

Earthbound, Secret of Mana and illusion of gaia(in the states) are all excellent and fun games; not to mention very unique.

If you like brawlers, Turtles in Time is a must have.

Of course, you've got some classic games that you may have missed like Super Mario Kart and F-Zero which are incredible racers and Star Fox

If you like your games tough as nails and super manly too, then check out Contra 3 Alien Wars. Perhaps the definitive contra(next to contra 4 :D).

Earthbound, Final Fantasy VI, and if you're into brawlers, check out either of the Battletoads games, they are both awesome.

All of those games are pretty much essential for any SNES gamer.

Earthbound was turn based, but it was unique in its style, humour and charm(as well as its setting). Though, not entirly unique given that Earthbound is actually Mother 2, a sequal to a similar NES game. Either way, it's not something we've seen alot of. I should also add that you do not experience random battles. You see your enemies on screen, and unless you're a high level, they will charge you. Depending on what direction you, or they, are facing upon encountering one another will determine who strikes first. Also, if you are a high level, enemies instantly die.. so you don't have to worry about going through the whole combat jazz against a rat.

Illusion of gaia was not turn based at all. It was entirly active combat. In fact, if i remember correctly it sort of combined the rpg like storytelling/scope were you would travel through "dungeons" and combat in a way that was more reminicenst of action games.

As for Secret of Mana. Again, this is active combat. However, you also have a small party and can pause the game to issue some orders. So, no random battles here. You see the enemies onscreen, you can run past or face them.

i actually thought the game "hook" based off of peter pan was really fun. you start off with just a dagger and as the game goes on you get the ability to fly and you get a short sword. there were lots of hidden powerups and extra lives.

and we mustn't forget actraiser or actraiser 2 both excellent games. the first was a mix or action with an almost sim/town building concept, your little minions would go excavating while making a town and might find spells and extra lives and things like that, then they'd find a demon and you'd go down to the planet and battle through a level to fight the demon. the second one removed the town building concept and just gave you an overworld starting with a couple levels, once you beat some of those then new levels opened up that you could fly to and so on and so on. both fun games!

also, since no one mentioned it, killer instinct, incredibly addictive if you like fighting games with in depth combo systems.

The one game that immediately comes to mind is, of course, the best game for the system, and which, mind-bogglingly, no one has mentioned yet. SUPER METROID.

lambonius

super metroid was a freaking excellent game.

also if you like star wars, the snes games were actually really good. they were difficult but not exceedingly so (they might frustrate a little in the beginning but once you get used to them they're really fun)

also, UN Squadron was a great game (side scroller shooter where you can pick your levels and you have several pilots to choose from) also super r-type, gradius 3 are real good too

and again, missed before but Super Castlevania 4

well as with most games they're rpgs so i think they average 20-40 hours. i think illusion of gaia was shortest out of those listed (i rented it and beat it in one weekend) but they are ALL excellent games and worth your time if you enjoy rpg/action rpg type games.

Megaman X3

Final Fantasy VI (or 3)

Super mario world

So many more... best console ever

crono trigger, f-zero, super mario world, too many imo. snes is my #2 fav console ever.

What are some good SNES games? Like good games, but ones I've probably never played. I had a SNES when I was younger but we didn't have too many games for it, and the games we did have weren't exactly AAA games... And as much as I like to eat Cheetos as a toddler, the Chester Cheatah gamers really weren't good games. So, just to be sure, the games I've played on the SNES that are actually good are: Super Mario World, Crono Trigger, ALttP, Super Mario RPG and Megaman 7. Any other suggestions are welcome =]Jim_bo_bo

just a few of my faves

killer instinct

mk2

sf2 turbo

smash tv

dk series

anything mario

zelda

anything final fantasy

i think it was top gear or racing gear

oh man if you look at my collection your jaw would probably drop but any how

zombies ate my neighbors - good aa title

top gear - in my opinion one of the best snes racers ever

top gear 2 the sequal to the one above

top gear 3000 ( which since i re collected my collection of snes, i am still looking for this one) and is the sequal to top gear 1 and 2

rock n roll racing -another awsome racing game

stunt race fx- another awsome and first 3d racing game created

super mario all stars-all 4 mario bros games 1 was a *** exclusive before hand

donkey kong country 1-3 plays like super mario world /bros

tmnt iv turtles in time yes this was the best teenaged mutant ninja turtle game i owned at one point i saw it today but it was a bit to pricey

tom and jerry another mario like game thats actually good

killer instinct - awsome fighting game like mortal kombat which is also had 3 games on snes and are good

super mario kart fzero starfox awsome dirt trax fx-similar to excite bike but is a 3d game made by acclaim

jurrassic park - awsome game 3d fps like doom which is another awsome game for its time

and to round all this off theres alot of football games if you like foot ball you should pick up madden 93-98 and all other football games made, as silly as this sounds this was my easiest way to boost a gigantic collection home alone 1 and 2 are ok games but play nothing like the movies

another good platforming game is ren and stimpy big buckaroos another game i my self had the first time i had a snes and now im lookin every day almost in pawns to find it and the lion king and toy story more mario like games ,, also theres jungle book plays similar and bugs bunny rabbit rampage , another mario like game - beethoven 2 and theres paper boy 2 if you like board games monopoly is good and for gameshows theres jeapordy sports and deluxe wheel of fourtune deluxe and family feud also theres clue

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time

Get this game now! It has so much action and its a great co-op game to play with someone.

oh man if you look at my collection your jaw would probably drop but any how

mariokart64fan

You definitely have a great collection but man, where are some of those heavy hitters like Earthbound, FFII and FFIII, Link to the Past, Secret of Evermore, and Secret of Mana?

^ i think most all of those had been mentioned

but a link to the past is prolly imo the best zelda game ever.
