Tough on the snes years, I couldnt fit the DKC series and Super Metroid, so many good games in that era.
Best year: 1995 probably. Chrono Trigger, Donkey Kong Country 2, Dragon Quest VI, Yoshi's island, Suikoden, Megaman X3 and many others. Hard to beat.
Worst year: 2001 by far. Picked FFX out of a lack of choices.
