The SNES... That brings back great memories of Super Mario, Megaman, Donkey Kong, and Street Fighter 2. Along With the GBA and original Nintendo Entertainment System it was one of the consoles I grew up playing. But it's my favorite. My favorite game would definitely be Megaman X; because when I was what? 6? I was obsessed with Sci-Fi and Technology. Another favorite would be Super Mario All-Stars. I never actually had Super Mario World, (I got the GBA remake) but All-Stars kept me entertained. I'm just disappointed that I never got to play LoZ: A link to the Past and Chrono Trigger. I would have loved for those to be a part of my childhood.

I played a lot of Super Mario World and Super Mario Kart. I was blown away by the graphics on Donkey Kong Country 2. I also played Aladdin often.

I still play mine from time to time. Looks all nice and pixely clean

This is actually the system I grew up on. We played Super Mario All-Stars (the cart with Super Mario World also included) and a combo cart with Tetris and Dr. Mario. So much fun! I've been working on my library for it lately. I bought A Link to the Past a few weeks ago and have been enjoying that! My sister also bought Super Metroid, but we're terrible at it. I'm hoping to get some more games as I see them turn up in Replays. I really hope I can get my hands on a copy of Earthbound one day. ;o;

I also really enjoy the Super Game Boy! So cool seeing Pokemon Yellow on a tv screen. :)

It's pretty easy to find nowadays since it's in such high demand. I've even seen it on the shelves of game stores that I visit. But it goes for a lot of money as we all know...

Yeah, that's the issue. :( It usually sells for $35 at my local game store, but they've rarely gotten it in. A guy I know that works there said he's seen it show up like...once in two years.

Everyone just get Donkey Kong Country 2 and Super Metroid.

You're set.

Wow! :O Just $35? Yeah... I wish that the game store I visit sold it for that price. It costs $275 there.

The SNES is home to a lot of my most favorite games ever. I constantly play Illusion of Gaia, Starfox, Mario, my Super Gameboy, and Knights of the round. The games from that era were simpler but still held all of the fun. Nobody worried about graphics, it was all just gameplay and storyline.

The SNES is my favourite console of all time. Funny considering I never really played SNES at all since about 2-3 years ago when I started playing retro games like Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and Super Mario World. There's a lot to talk about in this subject for me. The high spot on the SNES for me was RPG's. Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, Final Fantasy IV, Chrono Trigger, you know the rest. :P
I did try the Donkey Kong Country games once, also, and, no joke, I did not like them.
It's a shame Nintendo doesn't really make that many quality games anymore. Probably the only one that we'll be getting in the near future is Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U.

Here's a gem I haven't played in a while!



I know, I'm a street fighter fanatic, but gods, street fighter 2 was amazing. The only CPU I had trouble with was Vega, cause he always had this tough patter to follow, ugh. Eventually, the pattern was down, so, you could counter him, but, it's still tough on the hardest mode, hehe. Loved playing as Ken back then. :3

The SNES...even tho it hasn't many RPGs, it sure has the best RPGs of all time xD. Illusions of Gaia, Secret of Mana, Final Fantasy VI (or IV), Chrono Trigger and Super Mario RPG. One of the best consoles of all time.

There were so many favorites for me, anything by Nintendo was great. I played a lot of Aerobiz Supersonic, Mega Man X, the Final Fantasy games, which jump to mind.

My least favorites would probably have to be James Bond Jr. (glitchy) and Shaq Fu (A game where you can't figure out how characters do special moves)

Um, no. Maybe they have lots of Japan only RPGs. What I mean is, RPGs or JRPGs that have been translated to English or another language. Maybe you're right, gonna be honest here, I don't really know. Maybe it's because I played them all and beaten them all, haha. But I remember I tried to search RPGs,and I found only RPGs that haven't been released outside Japan.

Gamefaqs shows 3 pages worth of RPGs on the Super Nintendo, a lot are in english but we're talking about the days when localisation teams dragged games through bing translate hell and back again.

It's funny I saw this since I was just playing (recording) Go Go Ackman, which is some platformer on the SNES. I found a nice translationg too but I've already read the manga but still its nice.

Here's the cover:

Ah, the Super NES...
It's still sitting in my room, with Super Mario World sitting in the cartridge slot, ready to be played, along with many more (SMAS, MK 1/3, DKC 1/2, Star Fox, F-Zero, PilotWings, ALTTP, etc...)

And Super Mario World (my favorite videogame EVER, period.) is the only game I can ROM hack proficiently.

Has anyone played Super Star Wars: Empire Strikes back? Or as I like to call it, Depression Simulator? That game is unbelievably hard, I've never even gotten past the 3rd level.
