Mortal Kombat II
Killer Instinct
Heretic

Fire Emblem Monsho no Nazo
King of Fighters 94

...Whoops, got a little carried away. There was way too much good stuff in '94 to narrow it down to just five.

 

[TamagotchiTamaHero24's icon TamagotchiTamaHero24 TamagotchiTamaHero24]

1. Sonic 3 (& Knuckles)
2. Daytona USA
3. Shinobi III
4. Final Fantasy VI
5. Doom II

Honorable mentions:
Donkey Kong Country - Almost made it but I think its design has some holes where the trial and error is unfun. Plus, saving your game is inconvenient for zero reason.
Donkey Kong ‘94 - WAS SO VERY CLOSE but I just haven’t played enough to justify its spot.
Ridge Racer - All the jokes about “no content” apply to this one. More than that, the gameplay is GOOD! But only good. It’s not Daytona, it’s nowhere close, and any insinuation that it ever was is insulting. Still almost made it though.
Jazz Jackrabbit - I just get this vibe that I would love this game. It can’t make the list because I have not played it, but I just know I’ll have to check this game out at some point.
Virtua Fighter 2 - List had too many SEGA reps already, and I prefer the Saturn version, which came out in 95. Sorry VF! I still love you!
Super Street Fighter II Turbo/X - Listen, it’s the gold standard, but I haven’t played enough and I simply don’t rock with it a ton on the gameplay front. I’m more of a Third Strike person. It’s worthy of the respect though.

[DanCalibur]

For me, the golden age of games started in that year

 

[Dannzy]

I don't like ranking by number, so in a simple sequence:

Rise of the Triad, Heretic, Super Punch Out, Donkey Kong Country and Castlevania Bloodlines... Lots of highlights that year actually so could do a couple more.

Bloodlines is so good.

Super metroid
Megaman X2
Donkey Kong Country
Sonic 3 and Knuckles

For the last one I can't choose between Super Adventure Island 2 and Super Bomberman 2 I love both of them equally. Also, Mutant League Hockey and Warcraft 1 get honourable mentions.

Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3
Tekken
Donkey Kong Country
Wing Commander III: Heart of the Tiger

I count Sonic 3 & Knuckles as one big game, and both parts came out in 1994
