Hi everyone, how's it going? I'm a massive SNES veteran that has been playing a lot of games regularly since the 90s and never really stopped for long. I've played over 300 games on the system.
I'll post my full list of SNES games that I recommend later, but for now I wanna post a list of games that othere here have mentioned that I also recommend. I also think that all of the games that I'm recommending have a good soundtrack.
Just so you know, I try to keep things like nostalgia away from what I personally recommend as much as I can, and give people what I think actually holds up.
The titles that I've bolded are titles that VERY HIGHLY recommend:
Super Metroid
Zombies Ate My Neighbors
Clock Tower
Lufia 2(The rare japanese rpg starring adults that actually feel like adults.)
Super Mario World
Star Fox
F-Zero
Donkey Kong Country 1 and 2
Super Castlevania 4
Contra 3
Final Fantasy 4(and then play FF4 Ultima)
Final Fantasy 6
Earthbound(and then play my favorite fangame, Jonbound.)
Pocky and Rocky on SNES
Super Mario Kart
Zelda LTTP
Actraiser
Soulblazer
Illusion Of Gaia(Seriously, play this RPG! You're missing out!)
Chrono Trigger
Secret of Mana(I highly recommend avoiding Secret Of Mana 2/Seiken Densetsu 3)
Secret of Evermore
Brain Lord
Hameln no Violin Hiki
GS Mikami
Kirby Super Star
Turtles In Time(My favorite beat em up!)
Rocky Rodent
And I'm not as big on the NES, but I do wanna recommend these as well:
Legend Of Zelda 1 and 2
Super Mario Bros 1-2-3
Castlevania 1 and 3(Maybe check out 2 if you want an interesting curiousity.)
Kirby's Adventure
Little Nemo(Warning: It's hard and janky!)
Contra
