DEFINITELY get Donkey Kong Country for the SNES - it just misses something in the GBA conversion.
That was probably the last great SNES game that I can remember. *yearns*

I wish I still have the game. I traded it to a friend for some Spider-Man comics....

Get Star Fox
Yea one of my favorite games.

The graphics didn't impress me too much
True their's not much in the way of texture but I think it was the first truly 3D game on the SNES, besides I like the retro look
.Another one of my favorite games for the SNES was Yoshi's Island, I loved the game but some people didn't like it because it wasn't a true sequel to Super Mario World.

Post by: Molobert on December 08, 2003, 04:34:16 PM
Definite
-Chrono Trigger
-Earthbound
-Secret of Mana
-Donkey Kong Country
-Super Metroid
-Final Fantasy 6
Maybe
-Secret of Evermore
-Super Mario RPG (although I should beat M&L: SS 1st)
-Super Ghouls and Ghosts
-Super Punch-Out
-Kid Icarus (I think this is on SNES...)
For Secret of Evermore, Punch-out, and Kid Icarus, can someone please explain these games to me? I have heard good things about them but don't really know what they are.
Oh and I can already play all of the Super Mario games and Link to the Past on my GBP, so I don't need those.
Thanks

Super Punch-Out was a pretty decent boxing game. You couldn't move around the ring, you just had to time your punches and stuff, and duck swings. The opponents were a crazy bunch, having all sorts of special attacks and crap. The game gets VERY hard. I never played Secret of Evermore myself. It was developed by SquareSoft America, and seemed like a pretty cool RPG. Kinda like Zelda/Terranigma/Secret of Mana in regards to the battle system. It was real time, not turn based.
As for Kid. It was a fun platform game. I don't remember much of it, I hired it out once on NES.

I bought my Snes from my friend a little less than a year ago for $10. He gave me 8 games games (the good ones being: Mario Allstars, Super Mario World, DKC 2).
I was very happy. I was gonna look on Ebay, he probably saved me like $100.

"I can already play all of the Super Mario games and Link to the Past on my GBP, so I don't need those."
Sure you can... if you like sh!tty annoying voice samples and lowered difficulty. The GBA versions are always inferior to the originals. Nintendo always f*cks with them to make them easier or modern or whatever. They're good if you have no other options but I'd rather play A Link to the Past on the SNES the way it was meant to be played. Super Mario All-Stars is probably the only port I've seen where Nintendo's changes were an actual improvement.
Here's some of my favourites that I don't think anyone else has mentionned:
Uniracers - I've never met anyone who has played this and doesn't like it. It's a side scrolling unicycle racing/stunt game. That may not sound that great in theory but I assure you this is one of the most addictive games ever.
Saturday Night Slam Masters - Street Fighter II and wrestling all in one! While it's not as detailed as modern wrestling games it's a lot more fun to play and the four player battle royal is insane fun. Try to get a multitap and some extra controllers for it.
Stunt Race FX - This one generally gets mixed reviews but for the time it's quite an ambitious title. Essentially it's a polygon racer on the SNES that uses the Super FX chip used in Star Fox. It's dated by today's standards but is still pretty fun and has some great track designs. This is more of a game for collectors than a must-own title. It's also a Miyamoto title.
Kirby Superstar - Best. Kirby. Ever. This is just an incredibly fun game. Actually it's really a collection of mini-games but they're all really fun and many of them are some of the best Kirby levels ever. Last year I managed to find a used copy but the stupid thing crapped out on me after only playing it once and I had to return it. Absolute must-own title for any platformer fan, even if you hate Kirby.
I haven't played it but I hear that Actraiser is great. Oh and if you ever see Ogre Battle for sale at a reasonable price get it. It's like the king of super rare SNES titles.

Soul Blazer
7th Saga
Mario Kart
NBA Jam (can't remember which one is best, but these are the only basketball games I've ever liked)
God I love SNES...
But I hate you RareWare(previous poster)
You lucky bastard.Post by: RareWare on December 09, 2003, 11:21:54 AM
Any Squaresoft made game (Final Fantasy, Super MArio RPG)
FZero
Zelda LTTP
Secret of Mana
Secret of Evermore
Um.... Donkey Kong Triliogy
Can't think of any more except for maybe the Megaman series.
Have fun!
Post by: Molobert on December 09, 2003, 01:06:01 PM
. And I might eventually get LttP and the Mario games, but only after I buy ones I haven't played before.

Star Fox was a technical wonder for it's time for the SNES anyway
thanx for backin` me up

design was sadly traded off in the N64 version
I really wasn't fond of the N64 version either, it did seem to lose its uniqueness._________________

Stunt Race FX ........ uses the Super FX chip used in Star Fox
can anyone name the third game to use the FX chip in a StarFoxish style game?.......give up, I think it was called Vortecx, I liked the game but it was hella hard. The game revolved around a Mech that had (that I know of) 5 modes. Basic walk mode; hover walk mode (used in space); jet mode; buggy mode; and lastly defence mode (you transform into a compact, small & slow vehicle with a nova type attack like SF but without the range). EDIT: oops I just did a search it's Vortex not Vortecx, sure I can't spell but you should just be happy I remembered the game
after all I only played it once

I would have to disagree on that. It was still Star Fox and compared to ithe rest of the N64 libary, it is still fairly unique. What it lost was this. Remember the Vemom orbit level? I am sure you do. Simply put, it was hectic. Countless lazers contantly blasting at you with millions of sub-orbital rockets that frag, along with space mines and enemy fighters everywhere. The N64 had lost that. everything in that game was too orderly. Sure it allowed you to know what was coming up so you can get that high score, but in doing that it has lost the element of suprise.
Also the bosses weren't quite as imaginative as it's SNES counter-part.
Post by: Ian Sane on December 11, 2003, 08:48:51 AM
One thing I would love to see would be a Gamecube remake of the original Star Fox. All the levels would be exactly the same except with updated graphics and textures and now analog control would be possible. Star Fox was a very ambitious game and I think it would benefit greatly with no hardware limitations. They should keep the music and "doo boo do rad do" voices intact though for nostalgia.

Oh man, I loved Vortex. Very VERY underrated game. Offered much more freedom than Starwing (Star Fox). Ran alot better, too. And yes, it was rock hard! ;__;

Along with the titles everyone else mentioned, get Tetris Attack. It's one of the best puzzle games ever made.

I've recently been buying games again for my SNES. Some are REALLY expensive and I just wondered if it is much of a risk that it will stop working properly soon. I have had many of my games since about '93 and none have stopped saving, but I still wanted opinions from you knowledgable people.

I've got a question. There's a battery in the SNES cartridges used for game saving, right? Does anyone know what the life is supposed to be on these?

You shouldnt worry. The SNES is built superbly, and i havent had any batteries go bad yet, and i've owned it for 12 years.
Post by: Ian Sane on January 21, 2004, 10:21:58 AM
When buying a used game ensure with the seller that the save battery still works. If a battery does bite the dust it is possible to replace it. You have to crack open the game of course to do it. I think they just use a standard watch battery.
