Uncharted Waters 2, for sure.
Great fucking game. A sandbox game where you had a main overarching quest that you can generally progress at your leisure while you explore, trade, commit piracy, cozy up to some nobles to for a letter of marque to legitimize your piracy lel, invest your loot and build up small ports into a place with top-notch ships and tradegoods, turn-based combat for the ship battles, sell uncovered portions of the map to the cartographer's guild, sell stories of your discoveries/artifacts to bored nobles, etc

Also, Metal Max Returns. There's a translation patch that's really well done, the dialogue is pretty great.
My only beef with it is the same one I have with most JRPGs from that era, the random battles are a bit too frequent, but it's really unique and interesting. Absolutely worth a play.

I'd also say Live a Live but at this point I think everyone here is familiar with it.

Time to make youtube videos shilling these games, but only after buying as many copies as I can, and getting my reseller friends to do the same as to manipulate the market! Thanks OP!

Was this the same as the arcade game? Because the arcade cab is patrician as fuck. I made some friends at some random arcade in Chicago over that game. It's hard as fuck.

I remember having a lot of fun with this. I always picked the English guy with the cool beard. I didn't even realize there was a story I was supposed to follow, I just dicked around building a fleet, recruiting people, and fighting other ships.

Same here, I played with the Portuguese Jono, twice. The first time I didn't trigger the story hopped around the world trading and building my fleet, then I triggered the conflict of his story 16hrs into goofing off, finding wonders of the world. It was kinda funny, I thought the story had no conflict just an easy going life for a well-to-do boy. 2nd time I triggered the events correctly.

My man, Otto was my favorite too. I actually liked the Spanish roastie as well, her storyline was pretty cool and she starts with a pretty nice ship.

NTA, but Joao is a great all-round character who's kinda the best first pick. You basically described my first experience with the game. When I was a kid, my mom actually got really into this game lmao, she ended up hogging the console when she got home from work and I had to wait till the weekends to play.

Maybe in Japan. I never, ever hear it discussed alongside of other great SNES games. Too bad the only good sequel never made it stateside.

Beat Skyblazer recently and I was amazed at how easy it was. Like "just slam into the bosses and mash attack" easy.

yeah this one's pretty good. I played it a few years ago and got bored quicker than when i was younger, but maybe i just wasn't in the zone or something, because i used to think it was awesome. Music is good too

Another good one is Rock 'n Roll Racing

Extermination for the PS2.

[Anonymous No.9102449]

Yes, this is a great game unlike many rpgs of the time on snes. It would have blown up in the USA, fucking customizable tanks and bounty hunting. To bad it didn't get a western release.

Haha, this. Axel has a pretty rough time, brought into war cus his entire village got razed, and his old man's all hardline tribal leader. But it's lol cus his surname's fuckin' Bongo and he's the best guy you have at that point. Just pray this game never gets remade I guess.

Kid Klown in Krazy Chase or something like that. It's a very arcadey simple game with a lot of charm.

Captain Tsubasa 4. Still my favourite out of any Captain Tsubasa games that came out ever, along with 3. They ruined it when they tried to make it look like FIFA

Fun fighting game that looks so good it's hard to believe it actually runs on a SNES.

Dr. Mario Allstars RPG

Easily one of, if not the greatest Zeldtroidvania of all time, yet nobody talks about it outside of fans of the Goemon series.

Despite being a Superscope game, I always enjoyed this one. Great mech designs and graphics for the time, combined with pretty good gameplay and a nice OST. Also, there is a secret two player mode where a friend can play as an enemy mech. It’s a sequel to Battle Clash, but that game is really rough around the edges so it’s hard for me to recommend.

[Anonymous No.9107820]

[Anonymous No.9107835]

Dunno if it's really underrated but it was a kinda late release and not many people talk about it nowadays.
Great game with unique mechanics, the only "belt scroller platformer" I know of.
It also shares some similarities with the Ganbare Goemon games because it was made by some of the same devs.

This game pissed me off as a kid, unavoidable traps for "wacky" animation that stopped the game dead in it's tracks when the whole point is you have to out-run the lit fuse.

Better than Super Butoden 2 in some gameplay and balance aspects, but the fact it shipped without a story mode and just a handful of stages and music tracks gave it a bad reputation. Still great and underrated.

I really like Glory of Heracles IV. Fun game, good story, neat concept in regards to the core possession/body switching mechanic which is unique. I feel like it's a bit limited probably by just when it was made and budget. I kind of feel like using different characters could act to change the way people respond to you more, add different sidequests or give different solutions to problems. But still a neat game overall.

I really don't understand why this didn't get a North American release. Square + HAL at the height of their powers, and it's a top-down adventure like Zelda with a sweeping soundtrack, it was an easy sell.

La Wares - one of the few JRPGs that infuse the mecha genre

Krusty's Super Fun House - It's like a prototype of Mario vs. Donkey Kong. People mention it, but it deserves a little more praise than it gets.

Mario is Missing!/Mario's Time Machine - Not at all what you expected when you rented it at Blockbuster, giving these games a very bad rep. In reality, they're comfy little quiz games that do away with the menu-based UI common to this genre and replace it with something that feels like Super Mario World. It's fun to test your knowledge and see how far you can go without googling it.

I was actually very impressed by Battle Clash. Both it and Metal Combat are great games IMO.
Yoshi's Safari isn't bad either.

One of the rarest opinions. They only made 7 or 8 sequels. And rebooted and ported the original a dozen times.
