I remember when I was like 5 or 6, my parents called me into the kitchen and asked if I would prefer a Super Nintendo or Genesis. I quickly responded Super Nintendo and we went and got it that afternoon. I'm 36 on Saturday and will never forget or regret my decision. Turtles in Time was my jam!

SNES games not only are awesome, they age like fine wine. I still enjoy many of these titles as the first time I played them, hell I can even say they're better than many current generation titles of any console

Chrono Trigger is an absolute masterpiece. I originally had no intention to buy a Nintendo DS until they announce a port of Chrono Trigger.

The Legend Of Zelda: A Link To The Past is hands down the best snes game and one of the best games ever made.

The SNES is the best console we ever had, so many 10/10 games. Mine is Super Metroid, what an experience it was and still is to this day. Can not wait to play MP4.

We need a top 20 underrated/ hidden gems on SNES. There are so many that don't get enough recognition

[Soundtracks]

Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy’s Kong Quest has always been my favorite SNES since I first played it in 1995. It’s a masterpiece and not just the best SNES game, but one of the greatest video games of all time :)

[flexivefowl]

Dkc2 still looks and sounds amazing all these years later.

[mr.decencykeepinitreal]

‘Super Mario World’ was my number one favorite SNES game.

[SMToonAsia]

Donkey Kong country 2. Best memories. What a game. The music! The secrets! The graphics! Nr 1 for me.

[mattiasolsson]

Im glad Super Mario RPG is on this list.
It was very funny and one of Mario’s best RPG games.

The Legend Of Zelda: A Link To The Past
Is A Beautiful Gem 💎 ✨

[zachcrawford]

The 16 bit era was the golden era of video gaming. The tech was polished enough that games could look and sound amazing (My music library is probably 90% 8 bit and 16 bit game OSTs). If you bought a game, that was it, you owned the entire game, no logins, no connection errors, no updates, no DLC, no ads (usually), no Pay to Play, no Pay to Win, no B.S. So many games were clearly made with love and game developers were willing to push the tech right up to it limits. Top 20 games? I could probably name 100 off the top of my head that were awesome lol. This isn't to bash on new games though, there are definitely modern games that are just as good (many that even emulate games from that era which really says something) you just have to filter through a lot more crap to get to them.

It's always good to see Killer Instinct get recognized for how great it is

[Goldtiger]

Super Metroid deserves the love it gets. Nutjob speedrunning, casual playing, and however you want to play it; it's still one of the best games that Nintendo has ever offered. It plays so well, even to this day. I still haven't beaten the game in under five hours though. I always get some silly mistake that puts me a minute or two behind.

[ignaciolizanatapia]

Super nintendo is the most iconic console of all time

[jmarx]

A bit surprised to not see it on here, but Contra 3 the Alien Wars is one of my favorite super Nintendo games, and is arguably the best game in the series (I prefer Hard Corps on the genesis). The SNES was that good of a system. You could make a top 40 easily

[dreamguardian]

Yoshi's Island was truly a great game. I was glad when they rebooted it for Game Boy Advance SP, so I could play it more.
