ScrewAttack's Top 20 SNES Games

[MottZilla]

I just happen to catch this and you should all watch. If you didn't already know the SNES is probably the best console EVER so you need to play more of it. And I found the top 20 was well done so go watch:

Part 2 http://www.gametrailers.com/player/31740.html

I certainly would say if I could have just 1 game console (excluding consoles with emulation abilities such as the Xbox and PSP) it would be the SNES. You've got it all on SNES.

I agree, the SNES is the end all, be all of video game systems. In fact it's the only system I have hooked up right now. (My brother's got the Wii and XBox 360.)

That's a pretty good list. I was a little surprised Super Metroid got the nod over Zelda 3.

The only inclusion I disagree with is Killer Instinct. I just wasn't very impressed with that game, ever.

If it were up to me, I'd ditch KI, expand it to 25 games, and include NBA Jam: Tournament Edition, Mortal Kombat 2, Bubsy, Earthworm Jim, Super Punch Out, and of course Shaq Fu!

Super Castlevania 4 does indeed have the best soundtrack, ever. It's no accident I borrowed heavily from it in Conquest of Sarpadia.

Personally, I didn't like any, ANY games on SNES besides A Link to the Past. Most of my favourite games are on the N64.

Id agree with most of that list minus a few. As alphadawg pointed out KI shouldn't be there.

Well you're obviously too young to know your ass from your elbow. The SNES is so much better than the N64 it's not even close.

Banned, banned, banned. KI fucking owns. SNES owns N64. Beldaran is the only survivor.

I never thought Zelda 3 was all that great. But I do agree I'd rank Super Punch-Out and Mortal Kombat II up there on the list. Also it's important to remember there's alot of SNES games not on most people's minds because they are japan only.

One game I'd never heard of before which is actually quite awesome is Der Langrissor for Super Famicom. Also SD Gundam X was bad ass too. Anyway, if you have time you should click on "ScrewAttack" on the linked pages to check out more of their videos.

One game I was disappointed in for SNES I must mention, is Ninja Gaiden Trilogy. The music was not as good. The graphics got a nice color depth upgrade but alot of the sweet IRQ/Screen raster effects were gone! Unlike games like Super Mario All-Stars which are fantastic upgrades.

It's not that I'm too young, I just skipped that generation of gaming. when I was a kid I had Atari 2600, and that was the only system I had until I got N64. I never played any SNES games until much later when I bought a second-hand system.

I suggest you pick up an SNES from a pawn shop or eBay. You won't regret it.

Though I will say this for the Nintendo 64... Mario Kart 64 was a fun ass game.

I still have my original SNES bought within a few months of it's initial release in the states, along with a handful of games. The thing is built like a Abrahams tank. After all these years it still works perfect, albeit somehow it is tan colored now, and has survived over 10 moves, countless times being accidentally dropped, kids cramming cartridges into it, kicked, bumped, controllers being thrown into it, and just downright abused on occaision.

I thought Killer Instinct on the SNES was sick.

[Dechipher]

Haha, when I got my first SNES I was 5. It was Christmas morning, and we had 2 presents left. The first one was a big box of like 10 SNES games, and I was like "Mom, these are for the wrong system. I have a NES." And then I opened the last and it was an SNES and I flipped the fuck out. Then I got a bike and forgot about that shit.
But the SNES is amazing.
