FTFY.

The NinjaWarriors.

Rendering Ranger R2

>>509815
Also on genesis, so doesn't count

>>509937
Seconded.

Plok, fo' sho'.

>>510034
Heeey, OP didn't say EXCLUSIVE SNES titles! But I suppose you're right.

I'm gonna throw out Ignition Factor. It's kind of tedious until you know EXACTLY what you're doing, but it's a good game.

>>510054
dat music

>>510034
GENESIS DOES

One of the best co-op games on the system, and challenging as hell.

>>509815

You're grounded.

>>510204

WHAT NINTENDON'T

Drakkhen is pretty rare, haven't met anyone who's heard of it. Guess it's not underrated but just unknown

>>509815
>>510506
Why do people hate Shaq-Fu so much? The game wasn't even bad, in fact it was darn right above mediocre, and the animations are some of the best on the console.

>>510226
This guy...knows his shit.

>>510531
Because it's a broken game with unbalanced as fuck characters.

>>510523
its pretty shit I gave my copy away to my friend for free who didnt have many games

>>510545
good luck paying over 9000 if you want the real deal though.

>>510226

Someone should make a coop games thread.

>>510556
Did anybody actually care about that as a kid though?
Besides who didn't play as Shaq?

>>510570
It's one of those games I've always wanted, but could never afford. At least you can always bust out an emulator running on a pc hooked up to a tv with usb game controllers.

>Very Good

>>510613
fucking enraged, even the japanese one costs a fucking arm and a leg I was looking yesterday.

Thats probably the kind of prick that leaves assholes retorts to negative feedback I didnt bother to look

>>510613

What is "N. Snow White" supposed to mean?

too bad it didn't have password or save states

>>510705
the previous owned nigger snow white dumbass

>>510605
Better yet, emulate it on the Wii which supports native console resolutions in just about every emulator

>that crushing disappointment when pocky and rock was the one game I wanted more than any other as a kid and my dad had the highest bid on ebay for a copy but we got outbid at the last second.

I told him I was fine with it then went to my room and cried

>>510783
can the new wiis be softmodded?
I have an old softmod one but I want my brother to have it since he has 0 vidya.

>>510830
> kid
> super nintendo
> ebay

rivetting tale chap

>>510840

I was born in '94, but mostly played SNES cause older brothers. I saw Pocky and Rocky in one of their Nintendo Powers and wanted it so bad.

>>510783

The Wii makes a great emulation box. There's a good, high compatibility emulator for every system that I personally tried.

>>510831

By new Miis, do you mean the Wii Minis? If so, I'm pretty sure there's no removable storage so no.

>>510840

Do you not know how long ebay's been around?

>>510874
>There's a good, high compatibility emulator for every system that I personally tried.
Yeah, there's even Retroarch for Wii, the Nestopia core on that is the best NES emulator for Wii I've found and Retroarch lets you use like 20 different output resolutions.

Also just about every neo geo game worth playing is on VC (and therefore easily pirateable), and the VC Neo Geo emulator outputs in 240p too.

>>510883
Yeah since 95 but I didnt think any child would know how to get his dad to order him games on there. I'm glad they got outbid since he cried like a little bitch

>>510605
I actually have both games, but the european P&R removed all the text in the game for some reason.(not that the story mattered much, but it's pretty jarring to see cutscenes without text)

I should install a 50/60Hz mod on my PAL SNES sometime, I got quite a few uncommon games on it.

>>510940
It really doesn't take a high level of genius to ask your parents for a game then watch them make bids on it with their computer.

And, well, most kids would cry if the one thing they really wanted got snatched by somebody else.

>>511902
95 was close to the end of the SNES era he said he was a kid when he wanted the game I just assumed he was old enough to be playing it on release and wondered why he would be ebaying it. You only sympathize because you would have cried and you assume most kids are emasculated bitches, My dad probably would have eventually won the game but still made me wait until a special occasion to give it to me. You two would have cried until you got to play it once you found out it arrived.

ActRaiser.

Awesome action sidescroller with a strategy twist. Damn I love this game.

soulblazer doesn't get talked about as much as it should

>>511965
Is actraiser underrated? I always thought it was highly regarded

This one

No joke.

>>511965
He said under, not over.

>>512046
>ActRaiser is overrated
We, are now enemies.

>>512027
I didn't find it that difficult. now that one where the plants grow and you have to cut them down is the one I had trouble with

>>509537

I could tell you the most overrated.

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

Phenomenal game.

>>511965
You mean act raiser II right ?

>>510531
I fucking love that game anon, I agree

>>510226
>find pocky & rocky last week for $10
>FINALLY about to check it off my list
>take it to the register
>some doucher who doesn't even work there tells the cashier that it's worth a lot more than that
>the cashier then looks it up on ebay and tells me he wants $50
> that doucher looks at me and says 'didnt you know it went up in price? they did a game grumps about it! XD'
>so help me

>>512594
Hope you didn't give him it.

>>512594
That is when you are totally good to just deck him and throw $10 bucks at the cashier.

>>512082

Fuck that room. Right in the ass. I mean a real how's your father.

The only one that pissed me off more than that was the room where you had to put a crate in the door frame to keep it from closing while you put the other crate down yourself.

CRATES DON'T WORK THAT WAY ANY OTHER TIME YOU DICKS

Not sure if it's underrated, but Terranigma is a wonderful game

Earthbound
/le thread

Tales of Phantasia is my pick. Phenomenal game and my second favorite Tales game.

Although the PS1/PSP remakes are far superior.

>>510226
>tfw you just found out how much your copy of Pocky & Rocky 2 was worth

My dad bought a bunch of SNES games a few years ago thinking they would work on his NES because he can't into consoles so he gave them to me. P&R2 and Mega Man X and a few other nice titles were in there.

I've still never played it because I have no friends

>>512734
This. For a period of time I called Tales of Phantasia my favorite game on Snes, I don't believe we don't have Tales threads in /vr/

>>512806
The reason we don't have Tales threads on here is because they'd only be about Phantasia and Eternia (Destiny sucked shit) which really isn't enough for a series general. All the other good games (Symphonia, Abyss, Innocence, Hearts) aren't retro.

>>512734
>Tales of Phantasia
>underrated
ToP was hardly underrated, practically the entire emulation scene was salivating for the translation.
If anything it's overrated.

>>512829
That's something, some single games are enough for a thread, but /vr/ seems to just don't enjoy it.

King Arthur's World

Live a Live's a great SNES game, though never released in the US.

For released in the US I'd probably say Dragon View.

I never hear Demon's Crest get any mentions.

For being basically the best sidescrolling action game on the system, Super Star Wars doesn't get mentioned enough. Don't know about "underrated", but it certainly gets overshadowed by SQUARE GAMES and MARIO.

A good game that isn't popular isn't necessarily a underrated game, it's just a niche game most of the time, you guys are confounding things.

>>510141
Tim Follin, nigga. He did some amazing stuff.

>>512594
>some doucher who doesn't even work there tells the cashier that it's worth a lot more than that
Wow, what a fucking asshole.

>>512847
Mah nigga.

I randomly bought this game a few months back, and I was surprised such a game exists for the SNES. It's pretty fun.

>>512594
What a fuckhead.
>watches game grumps
>learned about it FROM game grumps

Double fuckhead.

>>512856
I don't get the appeal of the 2D games. I loved Symphonia, but going back and trying Phantasia and that one on PSX with the talking sword, it was just super slow and dull.

>>512594
People like that mouth-breathing piece of shit are why I rarely go into brick 'n mortar stores anymore.

>>512594
why didn't you wait until he left the store and beat the shit out of him in the parking lot?

>>513810
You don't go to stores because you fear an encounter with a random individual who might try to convince the retailer to charge you more.

Seriously now.

>>513860

I should have specified video game stores, specifically because there's always "Mr. No-Friends" types who talk at the guy behind the counter all day and won't shut the fuck up and have no filter for what they should or shouldn't say.

And they never seem to buy anything. I could walk into the store, the guy will be at the counter jabbering on like a fool at the register, I look around for 15-20 minutes, buy my game, and the guy will still be at the register going on and on. The worst is when you go up to make your purchase and they try to rope you into their bullshit.

>>512043
I agree with this. Shaq Fu gets all the attention, and yet here we have a game about Michael Jordan using flaming basketballs to defeat robot eyeballs and shit.

Plus it was the much better game of the two. Not enough love.

>>513876
OK, I'll grant you that. Personally I stay away from game shops because usually *that guy* is the one behind the counter.

>>513794
You're going in the wrong direction, that's why.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdaWWEo9Hzc

>>513915
Shaq-Fu and Chaos in the Windy City are brother games, and should never be made to fight against one another. Instead, we should celebrate them both as two of the most brilliant games of the 90's. In fact, these games are the 90's, and they should be cherished, not hated or underappreciated, and certainly not violated and smashed by jackholes who think hating classic games makes them funny and hip.

>ctrl+f >"goemon" Well what the hell /vr/

>>514926
>ctrl+f "a braying jackass"

Oh look, I found you!

>>512594
>shitthatdidnthappen.txt

For the masterpiece that it is, there is simply not enough discussion about this game.

The cart is pretty much Earthbound expensive but this doesn't get nearly the same rep.

One of the only games I would put up there with Super Metroid as the pinnacle of SNES design.

S-s-s-step it up.

>>514916
But anon, if everyone breaks their copy it will make my copy even more valuable.

>>510556
What is every fighting game from the 16-bit era not made by Capcom or SNK.

Hagane, Cotton 100%, The Firemen, Gokujuo Parodius.

All pictured here.

This is a game where you can play as a giant wrestling robot ninja with a jetpack and a rocket launcher, and fight against a chainsaw samurai.

Shame that it doesn't have co-op.

this

>>515819
and this

>>515824
easily one of the most underrated RPG's most ppl don't know about, i hope you like gambling

>>515835
I wish this game had a save feature. Only ever beat it once. I remember the mountain level pissed me off, because you have Goofy talking for ever, with the timer running. Still regret selling the game in a yard sell when I was younger.

>>510226
doesnt everyone fucking know about this game?
