I wasn't really a big SNES fan as a kid. I preferred the Genesis, so I'm not as familiar with the games as some of you may be. All I have are Star Fox and Final Fight. I'm looking to get some good games. I've heard good things about Chrono Trigger. I liked Mega Man X, but never played the two sequels. Super Mario World 2 and Super Mario RPG look good. I would like to get a few imports, too. Any suggestions?

I was a fanatic of the SNES always and it was my favorite console of all time. Here are many of my favorite games and why I like them:

Super Bomberman 1 (and 2)- These had decent single players and the multiplayer was an insanely great experience even if you simply just played with CPU players

Kirby Super Star- Yes, this game has been just remade on the DS but I don't think it was done justice. It was better on the SNES because it had 8 fun modes plus a 9th mode, and nothing was messed up about it. My favorite mode would perhaps be the Great Cave Offensive where you would collect treasures including some cameo appearance treasures from other Nintendo games.

Kirby's Dreamland 3- This was a candidate for my favorite game of all time, and that's where my avatar came from. It's a picture of a Kirby sprite in that game. It had a coloring book feel to it so I'm not sure if you would appreciate that or not, but it's worth a try.

Super Mario World- Another one of the greats for the SNES, and probably the best Mario game ever created

EarthBound- This is easily the best RPG created ever and a SNES experience is not complete without it. This is also a candidate for my favorite game of all time

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island- It had a fairly high difficulty level compared to any other Yoshi game, and it's a great adventure that needs not be passed up. The crying Baby Mario is probably the only downside to it as that gets annoying at times.

Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy Kong's Quest- My favorite Donkey Kong ever, but any of the 3 Country games are simply amazing.

There are other games that I hold as excelent, but these are some of the ones I would recommend that you try out.

I haven't played Megaman or SMRPG but i've played everything else you listed and they are good games. If you don't have a NES, pick up Super Mario Allstars. As a gamer I think you'd enjoy seeing the development of Mario from Mario 1 all the way to Super Mario World 2.

If you want to import... i'm not sure how that works. I thought SNES and Super Famicom games aren't even the same shape. If you can, there is a really good Gundam Wing fighting game on the SNES. I only played it on emulators but its alot of fun. Theres a DBZ fighter as well thats pretty cool. In alot of ways it was ahead of its times and modern fighters still don't do alot of the stuff that game implemented.

I just started playing that game right now. The game is def really hard on many occassions. I'm constantly starting over in save spots and doing dungeons over. Despite this, it's been very fun so far.

Super Metroid, Super Mario All-Stars, Zelda, Super Mario Kart, and the Donkey Kong series would be good to play.

I forgot, definately buy "Phantom 2040" if you can. It's one of the best 2d platforms ever IMO. Very under-rated game.

If you want a few tough, aggravating, but utterly addicting 2d platformers, Super Star Wars, Super Empire Strikes Back, and Super Return of the Jedi are all excellent options. Also a great fighting game IMO, albeit a somewhat broken and unbalanced one, is Killer Instinct. Finally, who could forget Super Mario Kart and F-Zero? I didnt see anyone post those two, which kinda surprised me, since they are phenomenal early racing games. Hope this helps, and happy gaming!

Yeah, Ive been playing Super Mario World a lot lately (I beat the Special World!). It still looks really good, especially when you hook up the SNES with an S-Video cable. I also picked up Super Street Fighter 2 for $5 at an Allied Record Exchange recently.

^Are any of the Street Fighter IIs for SNES worth picking up? I have so many versions of that game on more powerful systems.

I just got a copy of Mega Man X and Rockman & Forte(import) should be on it's way. If the import shows up and in good shape, I'll continue buying imports from the seller. I've been browsing through ebay and amazon and a lot of the games you guys have listed are frickin' expensive. I wasn't expecting Chrono Trigger to cost so much. I'll just buy it for the PS1. Mega man X2 I might get, but X3 is supposedly very rare and sellers are posting it for about $50 or more. I might buy Donkey Kong Country, Super Mario World and Yoshi's Island. I just found my manual for Super Mario World so I may get that next. I thought I traded it in with the game, but I guess not.

Also, Is it true that the SNES system is going up in price? Anyway, Thanks again all.

If you have a DS you may want to get the Chrono Trigger that is getting released to it shortly. It has new content in it.



Paying anything over 20$ for old games is stupid.
