Top 25 SNES Games

retrojunk.com — I decided to make it a little longer so I could fit a few more of my favorites in. And, although I like the N64, Playstation, PS2, etc., I definitely won't be making a top list for those systems (not only because they're not retro, but they just aren't as special to me as the NES and SNES).

Who dugg this? Made popular Jan 25, 2008

  • DonWigler, on 01/25/2008, -1/+260Dugg for all on 25 on 1 page.
  • APHughes, on 01/25/2008, -3/+113Et tu Earthbound?
  • KnockoutNerd, on 01/25/2008, -4/+78***** YEAH! sorry i got a little excited, I just love chrono trigger.

    square needs to revisit that game.
  • Roland1232, on 01/25/2008, -2/+61"WHAT?! No [obscure game]?!! BURIED!"
  • techlyc, on 01/25/2008, -2/+49Can I ask where Star Fox is? I can understand if it isn't better than Kirby SuperStar, but it's definitely better than Rock N Roll racing...
  • DeskFlyer, on 01/25/2008, -4/+49Not a bad list at all.
  • msaleem, on 01/25/2008, -1/+42This is a generally very balanced list. Thanks for not making it a page-click fiesta.
  • muxaulo, on 01/25/2008, -0/+34NBA Jam? Alley Ooop!
  • bungoman, on 01/25/2008, -1/+28Wrong, Chrono Trigger is solid gold and deserves every accolade it gets.
  • arcooke, on 01/25/2008, -3/+28I was also expecting Earthbound to be #1.. or at least on the top 25. He must have not played it..

    Orange Kid is pissed.
  • suckaPU, on 01/25/2008, -8/+33dugg for secret of mana... the best virtually unknown game of all time
  • arcooke, on 01/25/2008, -2/+25Since you guys have already nailed all the voice overs.. I guess I'll just make the squeak noises from everyone's shoes. :(
  • Rodalli, on 01/25/2008, -1/+24BOOM Shaka-laka!!!
  • toefer, on 01/25/2008, -1/+21Nice list. I'm feeling a bit nostalgic right now. Turtles in Time, Rock 'n Roll Racing...those were the days. I'd add a baseball game to the list. Either the first Ken Griffey Presents... game (which I still play to this day), or Super Baseball 2020. Forget the steroid era. According to that game, in 12 short years we'll enter the robot era.
  • inactive, on 01/25/2008, -1/+21"He's Heating up!"
    "He's On Fire!"
    and Breaking the backboard...
    ahhh i miss that game.
  • SSUK, on 01/25/2008, -3/+22Super Metroid is there, idiot.
  • theparaiba, on 01/25/2008, -3/+22Saying "Even you, Earthbound?" makes no sense at all.
  • chkdg8, on 01/25/2008, -2/+21What about ActRaiser?
  • Vuredel, on 01/25/2008, -3/+22Exactly! No EarthBound = fail. :(
  • pursiavoria, on 01/25/2008, -2/+19I always liked Donkey Kong Country over Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy Kong's Quest.
  • arcooke, on 01/25/2008, -1/+18Virtually unknown? Tons of people know about that one. That game was awesome.
  • breathofwater, on 01/25/2008, -3/+20I thought as I was scrolling Earthbound was surely going to be #1, though I thought that would have meant chrono trigger.. Don't agree with this list but it's a good representation of all the killer titles SNES had! Nintendo needs to get more of these on the virtual console!
  • Philluminati, on 01/25/2008, -0/+17same here. Donkey Kong Country was the ground breaker.

    But I'm suprised that Starwing (Starfox) didn't make the list seen as how it was an amazing game. Also, where was Super Bomber man?
  • Poochyfud, on 01/25/2008, -2/+17Without EarthBound this list is FAIL.
  • VaporBro, on 01/25/2008, -1/+16He's heating up!
  • NewSc2, on 01/25/2008, -7/+22great list, but Secret of Mana > FF3? Nah...
  • spyrochaete, on 01/25/2008, -0/+13Boomshakalaka
  • breathofwater, on 01/25/2008, -2/+15Play chrono cross for ps1, though it's not as good
  • sjm20k, on 01/25/2008, -6/+191. earthbound
    2. secret of mana
    3. ff3
    4. chrono trigger
    5. ff4

    thats really all you need to keep you busy for months
  • inactive, on 01/25/2008, -1/+14Unknown? Way to be deluded about being a connoisseur.... It's like the most mainstream RPG game of the console....
  • APHughes, on 01/25/2008, -2/+14it can also mean "And you, Earthbound?" meaning where are you
  • pizzas, on 01/25/2008, -2/+14needs more earthbound
  • duke1981, on 01/25/2008, -0/+12Super Metroid should be number one. FF3 should be above Mario RPG. No Earthbound, some how that needs to be a staple on all Snes fan lists (including mine). Why have DK 2 on there when the first was the best....... could go on but
  • burntsac, on 01/25/2008, -11/+22dugg for not being about scientology or politics
  • psykiv, on 01/25/2008, -6/+17Only a fool would put LttP on anything except #1.
  • EBFoxbat, on 01/25/2008, -1/+12He's heating up! He's heating up! He's on fire!
  • itseffinkasey, on 01/25/2008, -0/+10Dugg for Rock N Roll Racing and Mega Man X!
  • DupontNumber24, on 01/25/2008, -0/+10What the *****? I agree wholeheartedly. There are features in that game that were ahead of their time. For instance the visible creatures and how it would automatically defeat and give exp for weak enemies. I love this game and wish I had not sold it on eBay for a small fortune.
  • brufleth, on 01/25/2008, -0/+10It was a super popular game that people who didn't even like RPGs got because it was so popular.
  • duke1981, on 01/25/2008, -0/+10should have put terranigma on there
  • paulsmith288, on 01/25/2008, -3/+13from downtown
  • kupa, on 01/25/2008, -0/+9http://www.opcoder.com/projects/chrono/ ... :(
  • SlimFastForYou, on 01/25/2008, -2/+11http://duggmirror.com/nintendo/Top_25_SNES_Games/
  • VaporBro, on 01/25/2008, -1/+10EXCELLENT List. Super Metroid, Super Street fighter 2, Zelda: Link to the Past, and Chrono Trigger took up so much of my childhood. Amazing amazing games...
  • mjrpes, on 01/25/2008, -1/+10I would have included Soul Blazer in the top 5, a highly rated RPG that no one seems to have heard of:

    http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/snes/review/588673 ...
  • habhi, on 01/25/2008, -1/+9spot on, Mega Man X, Yoshi's Island, Mario RPG, DK2, and of course ChronoTrigger. Now I gotta bust out my SNES and replay all these games!
  • Asianwaste, on 01/25/2008, -0/+8Tetris was better played on the Gameboy. Dr. Mario.. oddly enough is best played on the NES... I don't know why that is.
  • tempr, on 01/25/2008, -0/+8Glitching into 5 fps.
  • terracottapai, on 01/25/2008, -1/+9I can't believe someone actually dugg you down.

    HEATHEN!
