There are more great games than that, but I agree, it's one of my favorite consoles ever, and call me crazy, but I prefer it to the PS2 as well.

The console's lifespan considered, that list is pretty short.

Fact: The SNES was riddled with shovelware and bad movie and sports games.

Fact: It was awesome nonetheless.

Hm. What does this remind me of?

The PS2 would had been the best, but it had 3 flaws: Lots of shovelware that no one notices but me, inferior multiplats on most games(graphically at least), and last, IMO, it had the most overrated AAAEs(I enjoy Socom 2 more than most AAAEs), the SNES and PS1 had far less overrated AAAEs, so yeah.

Yep no games console in history has matched the insane quality of the PS2's library.

I doubt we will ever see another console like it again. :(

I think the PS2 but the SNES has more 'classic' games that will last the test of time me thinks. Both were exelent consoles. Personally i think we are doing pretty well this gen accross the PC, 360 and PC through multiplats.

Yeah, and that's a shame because I see a lot of potential in the current gen consoles, but I agree, I think the PS2's library won't be topped any time soon.

I disagree. If the Wii lives long enough it's library would at least be equal to the PS2's library.

SNES = nothing but platformers and RPGs, couldn't help it being a 16-bit console though. Nostalgia keeps it alive but it doesn't stand the test of time. By the time the 360 is over, the 360 will be better.

I STRONGLY disagree with that. Sorry but imo the wii's library is so full of shovelware with the likes of wii music, wii fit and warioware. if it continues like this it'll never reach the PS2's library.

Indeed. SNES has the greatest games ever. It's a shame the majority of gamers never played it, as much of the newer generation started with Playstation.

i was too young to fully appreciate the SNES, but remember playing mario, LTTP and bomberman at a friend's it was always more fun than my genesis now, i've gone back and played some of the classics .. LTTP and super metroid being my favourites so i can see how great a console it was, but personally, most of my great childhood gaming memories are for the N64 .. goldeneye, perfect dark, banjo, SM64, zelda OOT, zelda MM, f-zero x, lylat wars (star fox), smash bros, mario kart, conker, DK64 .. what a list!

The PS2 had no western-type games (like WRPGs, RTS, FPS) - it had only half the diversity the Xbox 360 does.

I agree that it is one of my favorite consoles, but if there hadn't been a Famicom/NES, there might not have been an SNES.

Though, if there hadn't been an SNES, there probably wouldn't have been a Sony PlayStation (there's a connection between an unproduced SNES CD-ROM addon and what became the PlayStation).

SNES was the system that brought 3d gaming to our tv, along with helping to perfect 2d platforming. I played Wolfenstein 3d, and Doom on SNES before I had we had a PC. Along those lines, I will always remember the first time I played Star Fox - it looked amazing - I had never seen a game like that before.

I agree, Mortal Kombat 2, Street Fighter 2, Killer Instinct, NHL `94, NBA Live/NBA JAM, Yoshi's Cookie, Sim City, Lemmings all disagree with him. Also, Mario Kart disagrees with him

snes had over 900 games in its library. clearly the bestAD216

The PS2 can play all PlayStation games, along with all PS2 games - PS3 (systems with BC) can play all PlayStation and PS2 games.
- Does number of games determine best system?

I will put it another way, how many games are available to play on BC PS3 systems?
