I want to play a refreshing video game that's on the SNES. I've played alot of RPGs and platformers for the system. What can /vr/ recommend that is simple, fun, addicting, and not a platformer or RPG?

There were several bomberman games on the snes if that's your thing.

There are also a bunch of beat-em-ups, spider-man maximum carnage, final fight, knights of the round, etc.

If by refreshing you mean innovative you're not going to find that on the SNES. The SNES was the ultimate refinement of the 2D cash cow.

I guess. There were a lot on PC and even the N64 though too. Shit, even the Saturn managed to do some decent 3D stuff despite its 3D limitations. That generation was full of innovation because it was the first one to be predominately 3D, forcing developers to do things they hadn't done before, but I don't really see that the PS1 had any kind of monopoly on that. I look back and I see developers overcoming hardware limitations on all fronts to do some amazing things across the board.

Most of the times people reccommend lesser known PS1 games it's always 2D games (which IMO, 2D doesn't work as good on the PS1, sometimes SNES games look and feel better, for example Megaman X series).
PS1 has its share of good games, sure, many of them haven't really aged well.
You're trying to force your idea that PS1 and (for some reason) the C64 are the only ways to experience a refreshing catalogue, while I'd say either the MSX or the Sega Saturn have a much more refreshing catalogue for someone who has played a lot of SNES.

>> No.2496515

>>2496502
My phone autocorrected "reworked" but basically yes. There is no significant difference in design between LoZ and LttP. The SNES is full of games like that. Again not that this is a bad thing. Polish obviously counts for a lot.

Yes but the Playstation was both easier to develop for than the N64 or Saturn and easier to publish on thanks to Sony's existing CD production factories and networks so way way more games came out on it.

>>2496509
And yes a lot of them are shovelware but there being a lot of shovelware is a sign of originality being discoverable with a little digging. I'm one of the major contributors to the Playstation recommendation threads and is just not true that most of the gems are 2D or that there are fresher 3D games on Saturn, though it does have a remarkable Japanese library on a different level. I will agree that the MSX has a lot of very interesting and fresh feeling 2D games and between all the incarnations of MSX the games feel like anything from Atari 5200 level through SNES

No. I love the SNES. As I've already said, it had great games but you're not going to find anything that hasn't been done before on it. It did a lot of that stuff BETTER than it had been done before or ever after but there was no innovation. It's as simple as that.

You're suggesting he stops playing SNES to play PS1 aka Super Famicom part. 2, aka JRPG galore.

He wants simple, fun and addictive games. There's a ton of that on the SNES. Let people reccommend in peace, and stick to your PS1 rec threads (by the way I always contribute to those, I'm the guy who always posts GITS)

Most of the games for the SNES that have been recommended ITT are platformers. That alone speaks volumes.

But whatever. I guess he can just play a bunch of puzzle games that don't begin to take advantage of the hardware and what pass for arcade ports on the SNES. I'm sure he won't get bored or frustrated with those.

I reccommended Cameltry, which is an arcade port and it actually performs better on the SNES than the arcade original or the Sharp X68000 port. Rotation is faster, smoother, and physics work better, on top of having more modes, better backgrounds and music.
(OP you better play this fucking game, it's addictive and fun as hell).

And again, I think for someone who has played a ton of SNES, playing on the Sega Saturn would be more refreshing. SNES is actually a lot similar to the PS1 in terms of catalogue.

So yeah, stop shilling your favorite childhood console timmy, nobody cares.

I was an adult when Playstation was released but after Sega's expensive unsupported add on betrayal, Nintendo's flood of overpriced rehashes and the CDi and 3DOs "next gen" approaches making me think I had outgrown vidya, Playstation made me believe again.

I did also develop a deep appreciation for Saturn working at Babbage's after that but I'm not sure why you put it over Playstation for OP considering the library is narrower and it's harder to emulate as well as to play on real hardware.

The guy suggesting the MSX is onto something because that's a platform with lots of games that you can see how they evolved into SNES conventions as well as tons of games you can see COULD have evolved into something but didn't.

All Super Metroid and A Link to the Past did was make their series more accessible. Nicer presentation, but more limited freedom.
They basically gave the games stories and made them easier to play, but the core elements where already there in the first games, and that's when they were innovative.

You might as well say that Metroid 1 isn't innovative because Pong was a video game first.

There are multiple levels of granularity when talking about about innovation, and that's where the subjectivity comes in. Yes, Metroid 1 introduced a kind exploration-based platforming (although I'm sure there were others) and yes, the subsequent games followed in that genre. But you can innovate other things, and polish itself is a kind of innovation if you're polishing something that hasn't been polished before.

In particular, the mobility upgrades of LoZ and Metroid 1 are super limited. Metroid 2 had some good stuff, with the Space Jump and Spider Ball, but ultimately it wasn't until the SNES era that designers started experimenting with more complex movements and physics. The smoothness and realism of the movement is what is innovative about Super Metroid, not the genre.
