Best game for the SNES - what is it?

[ratfish]

I can't believe no one said StarFox yet! It's truly one of the best SNES games ever, even if you don't like space-shooters, it's 3D graphics were so great for it's time and the system it was on. You have to give it kudos just for that alone, and it was a great game.

Sadly I played Starfox aroudn the time I was playing Zelda on N64 so the graphics really didn't have that much of an effect on me.

I did enjoy it, but I wouldn't say it was one of the best titles on the system, especially considering how badly it's dated.

Great games stand the test of time and 3D games age very quickly.

 

[ratfish]

That's true, just like how playing Zelda 64 now can't keep me as captivated as it used to and how I'd rather pick up Wind Waker or Animal Crossing instead of sitting down and playing OoT.

I only played StarFox on the Snes after finishing the very slick StarFox 64 man I love this game rumble pak ruleZ too bad for AA bateries :/

Just get 2 rechargable (NiMH not NiCD) AAs. They're only like $10-$15, and that saves sooooooo much money in the long run, believe me.

I can't believe no one mentioned Axelay by Konami?! This shooter has the best graphics than any other 16bit, expect maybe for the NeoGeo Shoot em ups.
The music & gameplay rocks! It combines Horizontal & Vertical scrolling levels.
But then again, Konami sure knows how to make a great game.

[schi0249]

I would think that MArio RPG would be next. They've already done remakes od all but that and SMB 1.

Nintendo haven't got Square by their side anymore... ever since Nintendo 64.

I presume Square would hold rights of the game that prevent Nintendo remaking it without their permission.

Or have things changed with Square and Nintendo? I haven't really been paying attention 🙄

 

[schi0249]

Square is again releasing games for Nintendo, both the GBA and GCN. I total forgot that Square did the build for Mario RPG. I would guess they both have partial rights to the game.

 

[racketboy]

If Square was smart -- and I think they might be -- they might see the cash potential for a Mario RPG remake/port

 

[Tim the Great]

Definetly Zelda: A Link to the Past. The first time that I died in the game and had a jar wiht a farie in it, and I realized it could bring me back to life rather then a quick heal.

 

[sirtrod]

Chrono Trigger

 

[striker_vbulletin3_import16173]

Definately the Donkey Kong Country Series and Battletoads was a lot of fun as well.!!

 

[nintendo64forever]

final fantasy 3

 

[Gibo]
