I am getting all kinds of nerd nostalgia writing for this site. I just recently dusted of my old Super Nintendo and I am super stoked. This is not going to be top 10 SNES games list, like you see everywhere. Just my favorite games as I remember them. I can still remember how exciting it was to open a new game, there was so much more content, the manuals were a must ready back then, not just some crappy single sided insert.
Final Fantasy 3 (Final Fantasy VI)
Set in a fantasy world that had a unique blend of technology and medieval fantasy, think knights and kingdoms blended seamlessly with an advanced industrial renaissance, the game focuses on a group of rebels trying to overthrow an evil imperial dictatorship. I know it sounds cliche but the game is amazing, with 14 permanent playable characters and a very unique system of learning magic, this has to be by far my absolute favorite Super Nintendo game.I think I stayed up for 24 hours straight when I got this game. The funny part is I had never heard of the Final Fantasy series when I got this game, it was purchased on a complete whim. I was super nerdy and really into RPGs on the Sega Genesis and wanted to check this out. I have never had a story suck me in as like this game. I remember constantly wanting to play, not to finish the game, but to find out how the story was going to unfold, I was addicted. Definitely a graphical power house, I remember constantly being excited about the graphics during the boss fights. I still would always get pissed off about how often I would mess up a blitz when using Sabin and never actually being able to successfully pull off a bum rush more than a handful of times.
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
I would have to say this is THE best
Zelda title that was ever released. Immediately after typing out the name of this amazing game I had to strongly debate whether to continue writing to just stop and go play it. The games story starts as you as a young Link who is awakened by a telepathic message from the princess, Zelda. She is being held captive in the dungeon of Hyrule Castle. You awake to find your uncle ready for battle, telling you to remain in bed. Clearly being Link you ignore your uncle’s command and follow him to Hyrule Castle. You arrive to find uncle seriously wounded, and are told to rescue Princess Zelda from her prison, getting your uncles sword and shield. You navigate Hyrule Castle and rescue princess Zelda, and the two of you escape into a secret passage ready to start your story. There was a great game play twist of traveling between the dark world and light world, often need a combination of both to complete certain tasks. Harder to find game and very expensive when you do, but nothing less than amazing.
