100 Best SNES Games Ever: Forumer Comments

On November the 30th of the year 2007, Syd (in conjunction with Valdronius, greeneyedzeke, Douche McCallister, Darkmaze, Knyte, and Murdar Machine) published the article "The 100 Best SNES Games Ever". A year and a half later, a forum newbie, Brut, suggested giving Forum Members the capability to comment on each of the 100 selected games. This is a place for members to post said comments. The games are listed in descending order.

Tetris Attack

If any of you know of the 'Block Destroyer' game found on some TI graphing Calculators, this is that, only about 100x better! This is an excellent SNES puzzle game with plenty of action. Despite the fact that it was almost nothing like normal Tetris, this game was hella fun; there's nothing like playing battle mode with a friend. Fun Fact: originally this was released as Panel de Pon in Japan and instead of Mario enemies, the main characters were all faeries. I also believe this was later remade for the N64 as Pokemon Puzzle League

Castlevania: Dracula X

I always thought that Richter moved so slow in this game to the point where it became distracting and unbearable.

Mortal Kombat 3

Cameron

This game is much better in its Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 incarnation. I mean, no Scorpion? Come on.

I actually had some issues with the SNES UMK3: 1) They took out Sheeva, 2) They didn't give Rain or Noob Saibot endings, 3) They removed all but two arenas from the original version, which, even then, are only accessible under certain circumstances and 4) Motaro's arena is The Rooftop and not the Balcony, which, as mentioned before, was removed. Thus, I'm glad that version didn't make the cut.

Final Fight

Cameron

This game was notable for having Freddie Mercury on the front cover of the box it came in.

Zombies Ate My Neighbors

Cameron

Second only to River City Ransom in terms of being one of the best two-player games I've ever played. I dunno, I really like the concept of throwing tomatos at chainsaw-wielding maniacs and shooting giant babies with water guns.

Oh, and the lawnmower is the best weapon. Period.

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island

Crazy_Bastard

An excellent platformer, great graphics, gameplay, music, and so much more. The sequel sucks ass, though.

Secret of Mana

jprime

This so SHOULD NOT have beaten Metroid.

EarthBound

Crazy_Bastard

This game is tied with Chrono Trigger as my favorite game of all time. Who wouldn't want to beat the shit out of snakes, hippies, dinosaurs, and other baddies by utilizing a baseball bat, a yo-yo, a frying pan, bottle rockets, and psychic powers? Without a doubt this is the most original RPG ever made, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for something new in RPGs

Mega Man X

Crazy_Bastard

This was the first Mega Man game I played, and is what got me hooked on the series. However, every time I play one of the first seven I keep trying to wallslide. Wallsliding was one of my favorite things about this game ^_^

Chrono Trigger

Crazy_Bastard

This was the first RPG I ever played, and a good one at that. I loved the dynamic battle system of this game, and is actually one of the biggest things keeping me from the Final Fantasy games. I fucking hate random encounters. Lucky for me, I still own my CT cartridge, and is actually one of the most valuable games in my collection.

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

JRA

This game rules for three simple reasons. The Bombos Medallion, the Ether Medallion, and the Quake Medallion. Also, the music holds up surprisingly well.

Cameron

I'd say this is one of the most overrated games of all time, however everyone I've mentioned it to seems to disagree, so maybe I'm wrong. Maybe not.

Crazy_Bastard

This is the first game I ever remember playing, and a good one at that. Absolutely FANTASTIC but I always hated the room in Turtle Rock where you had to use the Fire Rod to light torches from a moving platform. But anyway, Excellent gameplay & graphics, albeit the music could have been better.
