Super Nintendo games

I just picked up a Super Nintendo and re-discovered some of it's great games.

Super Mario World is as amazing and enjoyable as it was in 1991. The game has aged very well.

Anyone have and still play one or download the games on the Wii's Virtual Console?

 

It's my second favorite system, after the original NES. So many classics... Donkey Kong Country, Super Metroid, Super Castlevania 4, Final Fantasy II & III, Super Mario Kart, among a few! The SNES was best for platformers and RPGs.

 

I've still got one. I have to say the graphics don't come across too well on a modern HD TV

 

I havn't played it on a HDTV but even 20 years later; I'm still impressed by the graphics and effects Nintendo got out of the SNES.

 

SNES Mario Kart is the best game ever. I recently dusted mine off and hooked it up, so much fun.

 

I disagree. I think the SNES and even the NES (!) look fine on an HDTV. It is the early "3D" systems like the PS1 and Saturn which look bad. Really bad.

 

I haven't seen a SNES on an HDTV, but looks awesome via s-video on my Dell monitor. 16-bit in s-video rules!
So yes, I still have my SNES ca. 1994, and have whittled down my collection to the following games:
Super Mario World
Super Mario All-Stars
Super Metroid
Contra III
Space Megaforce
Starfox
Zelda III
Street Fighter II Turbo
Double Dragon
Clayfighter Tournament Ed.
Probably some others I'm forgetting.

Have a NES toaster and my Genesis ca. 1991.

 

Spent a good chunk of the rainy, rainy summer of '92 playing Super Contra

 

I just grabbed Super Mario RPG off the VC...while looking for the Player's Guide that I once had, I found my SNES in the closet with that very game with it, no doubt. OH WELL.

 

Never played Super Nintendo myself, but I have a regular NES, and N64 and a Game Cube. I love playing Mario 3 on the NES, but I wish there was a way to play it where I could save the game and not have to start over all the time.

 

Mario All-Stars on Super Nintendo has Mario 3 and it has a save feature. Also, since you have a GameCube, there's a Game Boy Player for it and there was a Mario 3 cart for Game Boy Advance that you could play on it.

 

Good to know, though I don't have a Game Boy. Or SNES, unfortunately.

I guess a very well done emulation playable on a PC with a save feature would suffice.

 

A Super Nintendo and Mario All-Stars is very reasonably priced on eBay- You can probably get both for under $100.

 

agentalbert: The Game Boy Player is an accessory for the GameCube which screws into the bottom of the GameCube and costs around $20 on the used market. With that, you can play any Game Boy or Game Boy Advance game including the Mario 3 cartridge through the GameCube to your TV. It was an official accessory.


Apparently you can get one at GameStop for $10.

Both the Super Nintendo and Game Boy Advance versions are spruced up versions of the original, BTW.

Secret of Mana, one of my favorite games ever.

 

The Super Nintendo is amazing. I used to play it ALL THE TIME, and loved every minute. Final Fantasy 6 (released as 3 in North America) is one of the best video games ever made.

 

I just got the NEW Super Mario Bros game for Wii. It was on sale at Target.

I like it a lot and the Wii controller feels very similar to the old NES controller when held sideways.

 

You folks will defiantly love these pictures of my room.

 

What's the portable with the red buttons?

 

I think SNES graphics were amazing for the time but it played a bit slow at least on Pal/50Hz. Sega Genesis was faster speed-wise.

 

I loved playing Chrono Trigger so much that I bought the version that came out on the Sony Playstation.

Too bad my Playstation bit the bullet a couple of years ago. Wonderful game.

 

The SNES version of Zelda ("A Link to the Past") is a fantastic game, almost as great as the original Legend of Zelda. I still hook up my SNES every once in a long while and replay Zelda.

 

I can still own on Mario Kart 64 and Mario Kart Wii. But hooking up the SNES and trying to win on Super Mario Kart is near impossible for me now. I used to kill at that game, now my skills on it are zero. It feels sooo slow to me too.

 

+1

 

Super Metroid. Wow, this guy is quick!

This is interesting. Someone did the artwork if Super Metroid was updated in HD.
