The games you play

[Anonymous No.10300586]

I've played Chrono Trigger up to some sort of dinosaur boss in the BC times with Ayla in the party and stopped because it was boring me to death. Does it really get any better? Better enough to be the best SNES game ever?

There's a couple of interesting plot twists, but the game doesn't really get more challenging aside from a fairly tough boss here and there. If it hasn't grabbed you at that point, you were right to drop it. It's also pretty short, you were nearly halfway through it.

I agree with this, not my favorite game(top 5 or 10) but it's pretty much perfect. Even the back tracking is ok.

For me, I'd say Super Metroid. It's mindblowing to experience it for the first time, the formula is addictive and it influenced a shitton of other amazing games. Not without flaws, but makes up for it with sheer quality and atmosphere
I'll explain why not others
>SMW
normie choice. not much new after SMB3, weak graphics, sometimes plain worse in some depts
>Chrono Trigger
>FFVI
tried and quit. RPG slop with story over gameplay. in "maybe beat it in the next 10 years" category.
>ALTTP
good, but kinda slow and weak controls. went up to mirror world or w/e, found something better to do.
>Donkey Kong Country 1/2
if not for graphics / music and selling shitload of copies, it would never be as acclaimed.
>EarthBound
beat it, loved the highs, rest was meh. 10/10 atmosphere, tedious half-assed basic bitch gameplay
>Dragon Quest V
absolutely self indulgent in its bloated plot. probably THE game that popularized bloated stories. graphics like on PC Engine
honorary mention: Mega Man X. though this game didn't really influence much beside MMX itself, it is just one really, really well-made action game that is perhaps the best pure 2D action of its era.

[Anonymous No.10300901]

Spindizzy Worlds and it's not even close. All others are just tedious basic bitch slop that lack the incredible soul of Spindizzy Worlds. Why would you play slop like Mario or some JRPG when you could be playing ultimate soul? Super Metroid, psh, it's just slop.

Super Putty also has a lot of soul and is better than slop like Donkey Slop Country. Have you considered playing it, or do you prefer slop? No, choose soul. Anybody with taste also loves Faceball 2000, but it's not up to the standards of the Big Two mentioned previously. In fact parts of it are mere slop, though it is in fact the third best of all SNES games. It's a console whose library is mostly slop, but it does have its moments of s o u l.

I am not a mere follower like most people so you should trust me completely.

I really liked this one. You get to explore a massive world which changes as you progress in the game. The storyline is also cool and I didn't expect some of the twists.

Most of which have since eclipsed it, that's the problem. SMW and Castlevania IV are still close to the very peak of 2D platformers.

Mega Man X or Donkey Kong Country

[Anonymous No.10301995]

Aside from what's been posted already, I'd have to say Mega Man X. Everything about the game is damn near perfect. You can easily pick it up and blast through it whenever. There's so much freedom in the order of levels and even how you want to play, like buster only, minimal power-ups, etc. The difficulty is fair, and again the game has so many ways to approach it that newbies hitting a wall can easily pick a stage and come back later. The music is some of the best on the system.

X2 and, yes even X3, are great too. X1 was Mega Man's first foray onto the system though and Capcom obviously blew their whole load on making sure it was the best they could do at the time. Not to discredit their other work on the system either, like Demon's Crest which is also a phenomenal game.

[Anonymous No.10302013]

My gut would say Super Metroid or ALTTP. My deep emotional attachment pick is Secret of Mana. But, whenever I fire up a new emulator or device, the very first thing I grab is Contra 3 or Castlevania IV. Their accessibility and "bang for your buck" in terms of immediate gameplay response is timeless.

[Anonymous No.10302058]

Final Fantasy IV Easy Type. RPGs are the best genre, Final Fantasy is the best RPG series, FF4 is the best Final Fantasy, and normal FF4 is way too hard - basically impossible in fact. Second place goes to Eek! The Cat, for obvious reasons.

>Most of which have since eclipsed it, that's the problem.
not really. they either took the premise of SM, like "one big map, open new areas of map gradually", and / or they added mechanics on top of it, like metroidvania added RPG to the formula, Aria added souls, etc.. I'd still say that Super Metroid as a finished concept hasn't been beaten, nothing quite had the same number of secrets so well-designed.

[Anonymous No.10302402]

>>10302269
Name one thing Dread doesn't beat Super Metroid at. I think even modern indie vanias like Momodora 4 are better than Super Metroid. But I don't think modern indie platformers are better than SMW or Castlevania 4. Super Metroid was a janky early stab at an underdeveloped new genre, SMW and Castlevania 4 were platforming masterpieces made by peak platforming developers at their peak form, nobody could beat them since, not definitively at least. They had the kind of platforming expertise no modern developer has.

Metroid Dread is my favourite 2D Metroid, but no other game in the series can match the soundtrack on Super Metroid.

I love Tetris Attack though the game sadly chugs too much, makes the hardest difficulties too easy. Fun fact, if you play in an emulator and overclock the SNES' emulated CPU, it not only alleviates the input latency but also causes the AI to act faster!

This means that either
a) the AI's movement is tied to clock speed
or
b) the AI was acting slower than intended due to the SNES' anemic CPU.

Also Panel de Pon's true final boss mogs Tetris Attack's.

Those games aren't real - they're illusions produced via the Mandela effect. This is fortunate for everybody, since they are understood, even in the fantasy, to be unplayable (because of their extreme difficulty).

The ultimate SNES game is the NES port of Magmax. It is a literally perfect game in every way. You do have to program it in yourself by exploiting the glitch in Super Mario World that allows rewriting of the game program. But it's worth it. It is the ultimate video game.

(The original arcade Magmax is just okay.)

Honestly the whole game feels kind of slow. If you play it in an emulator but speed it up slightly, yes, the game plays better. I think it's slowed down to make the game easier.
But yeah I really liked Hook too. The movie as well. Good choice.
