It took a lot of thought, but personally I think I'm-a go with:

What you guys think was the best game?

catflea · « **Reply #1 on:** 09 Nov 2005, 08:36 »

That or Mario Kart

Fabio · « **Reply #2 on:** 09 Nov 2005, 08:52 »

...FINAL FANTASY 6!!! come on it's so good!

I'm sure Asturge will back me up.

Something Witty · « **Reply #3 on:** 09 Nov 2005, 08:54 »

Oi! Hard one. DK is awesome, but it's no Super Mario. Which is no Metroid/Castlevania. I'd have to go with Super Mario All-Stars, because really, it's just too awesome to have all that much mario all at once.

TheLoweringTide · « **Reply #4 on:** 09 Nov 2005, 08:57 »

It's hard to argue against Final Fantasy III/VI. Super Metroid would be a very strong candidate too.

jhocking · « **Reply #5 on:** 09 Nov 2005, 09:00 »

Zelda 3.

Also, this thread is in the wrong place.

I'm unhappy because it's very hard to play super metroid on a laptop, i just managed to beat Kraid...

m a r i o p a i n t !

i used to love to remix the music on there. and the weird fly game thing. plus..it was totally one of the most creative games nintendo has ever had.

sure, platforms and rpgs and fighting games are fun, too. especially the donkey kong series. but meh, i suppose i just liked having a less complicated version of photoshop (sorta/kinda) at the time.

Sideways · « **Reply #11 on:** 09 Nov 2005, 11:34 »

A less complicated version of photoshop?!?!?

That has to be the understatement of the year!

TheLoweringTide · « **Reply #12 on:** 09 Nov 2005, 11:51 »

Gradius is a less complicated version of NASA flight simulators.

SeanBateman · « **Reply #14 on:** 09 Nov 2005, 12:26 »

I mean, come on guys.
Also, it's totally starfox.

Sideways · « **Reply #15 on:** 09 Nov 2005, 12:44 »

Starfox? I'll spell this one out for you: P..F..F..F..T..!

Secret of Mana, Chrono Trigger or Final Fantasy 3 (6). Any of those three, for the win.

est · « **Reply #16 on:** 09 Nov 2005, 13:13 »

i think that one with mario in it was pretty good

jhocking · « **Reply #17 on:** 09 Nov 2005, 13:26 »

What is the matter with you people?

I mean seriously.

The choice is pretty obvious.

Catfish_Man · « **Reply #18 on:** 09 Nov 2005, 13:37 »

FF6 has the greatest first 5 minutes or so of any game ever, but I'm gonna have to go with Lufia 2 or Zelda for best SNES game.

RUMBLEMOOSE · « **Reply #20 on:** 09 Nov 2005, 13:58 »

You are inspiring me to play the copy of FF6 I bought like a year ago and never played.
Anyway, Chrono Trigger. Zelda maybe could've beat it maybe if my game didn't keep helpfully erasing itself while I played.

And for the record, pretty much everything I have on SNES is an RPG because I am a nerd, and am attempthing to branch out into multiple areas of nerdery.

jarofflies · « **Reply #21 on:** 09 Nov 2005, 14:05 »

I'ma have to go with Super Mario World. Then again, I havn't played alot of these games, unfortunatly.

Inanimate Object · « **Reply #22 on:** 09 Nov 2005, 14:07 »

I think in my book Donkey Kong Country barely edges out Zelda: LttP for first place. There are way too many classics on that systems to just pick one though.

Gryff · « **Reply #23 on:** 09 Nov 2005, 14:37 »

You've all missed a very important game.

Yoshi's Island.

One of the few games that I never played at the time but played obsessively years later. I mean, hallucinogenic clouds? FTW!

Honorable mentions to Chrono Trigger and FF6, also.

Yoshi's island was cool indeed but I prefer Mario Kart by far. Liked Mystic Quest too actually but I believe that's a prequel for the FF games, right? (so i guess that there must have been some improvements there)

est · « **Reply #27 on:** 09 Nov 2005, 15:38 »

ok fine, i'll play your game, rogues.

my fave Nintendo game as of right now is probably Final Fanstasy Tactics Advance. i must have put over 150 hours into one campaign over the course of a year or so of train rides to and from work. i maintain that that game kept me sane.

heather · « **Reply #28 on:** 09 Nov 2005, 15:52 »

Secret of Mana. Hands down.

Anything else would be blasphemous.

*(Link to the past is a close second, of course)

He wasn't refering the Nintendo systems, not producers of the games. FFTA was on Gameboy Advanced, making it a Nintendo game.

normz · « **Reply #31 on:** 09 Nov 2005, 19:30 »

I'd have to go with Donkey Kong.... I had Donkey Kong I, II & III and I loved em to death, mario was never as cool .... I also loved that game I had with Dr Mario and Tetris and you could do like battle royale thingys against your mates... man that was ace i was like tetris queen

TheLoweringTide · « **Reply #32 on:** 09 Nov 2005, 20:02 »

For puzzle games, Tetris and Dr. Mario get all the hype, but I'd have to go with Kirby's Avalanche (aka yet another rebranding of Puyo Puyo, aka Puyo Pop - see also Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine).

this is true. i never had a SNES, so i couldn't play otherwise, and i relly thought that FFTA needed the mention for the sheer amount of love it gave. i am ultra hanging out for a DS version.

High fuckin' five, man. You have no idea how sick I got of all the FFT fanboys bitching nonstop about this game. It's just like the first one, except that it doesn't pretend to have a plot, and thus doesn't end up being mind-numbingly pretentious. There. I said it. I HATE FFT's plot.

True, but one of my chief problems with the original, (aside from the contrived and extremely overrated storyline) was the bizarre difficulty curve. Some levels would be ridiculously easy, and some would be break-the-controller-in-frustration hard. I don't mind a challenge, in fact in some games (Fire Emblem), I welcome it, but some of those missions were just ridiculous.

TheLoweringTide · « **Reply #45 on:** 10 Nov 2005, 12:54 »

I'm sorry. I fully realize that I will be flamed to death over this, but I have to say it:

Zelda is overrated.

Not bad mind you, just overrated. There's zero plot/character development (Save the princess from some evil dude? Why did the evil dude kidnap her? Oh, right because he's evil.) The dungeons have some interesting puzzles, but by and large they're fairly tedious. The gameplay is solid and it's a perfectly entertaining game, but I have a hard time coming up with reasons why it belongs at the top of any "best ever" lists.

I can help you out and just write a post containing that phrase immediately after every one of your posts. You know, like the BOOGA BOOGA thing except... um, wait, they're both retarded.

It's hard to argue against Final Fantasy III/VI. Super Metroid would be a very strong candidate too.

Unless you have games that are actually GOOD, like...

Chrono Trigger
Seiken Densetsu III (Secret of Mana 2)
Tales of Phantasia

Valrus · « **Reply #48 on:** 11 Nov 2005, 20:02 »

Don't be frontin' on FFVI, Doesn't-Even-Have-A-Working-Avatar.

Seriously, it's obvious that it's impossible to pick just one best SNES game. That would be like picking a best... I don't know, song. There's too many, and too many that can't be directly compared to each other.

Storm Rider · « **Reply #49 on:** 11 Nov 2005, 20:51 »

How the fuck did I forget Tales of Phantasia? That game rocked.
