Forums - Nintendo - Getting back into the Nintendo fold!

So, I have been playing a lot of retro games through my emulator and that way discovered the magic of NES and SNES (being a SEGA nerd bvack in the days kept me blind from those amazing consoles :)). After finishing A link to the past and Super Metroid, I decided it was time to go into gaming on the actual cartridges instead, since emulators don´t provide the right "feeling" and I wan´t to support the games in their original form.

My Sega Mega Drive has sadly also died on me (I think it´s the connectors) so I decided to get a retro console, namely the super retro trio. It has gotten great reviews and doesn´t emulate by some android solution (like Retron 5) but rather by the hardware in itself. You don´t get any fancy menus, you just have a power swith and a reset button, just how I like it. And best of all, you get all three of the greatest consoles ever on one console!

So, I have a fairly large Sega Mega Drive library, but my question to you is: What games should I get for NES and SNES? I like platformers, RPGs, adventure, Metroidvania, SHMUPS, action. I have bought five games so far: Super Mario World, Super Mario Bros, Life Force, Rygar and Blaster Master.

I would try to get the original console itself, like the real NES and SNES, but if thats too hard to find. Then alright.



Gotta get me one of those Super Retro Trio!



For SNES

Donkey Kong Country 2 (try getting DKC1 too if you can)
Super Mario RPG
Final Fantasy III (Final Fantasy VI in Japan)
Chrono Trigger
Castlevania IV
Yoshi's Island

Zelda III: A Link to the Past

Super Metroid

F-Zero



you may check ebay or even Amazon for the original consoles but you may try the Wii U and use the VC for those games. so you have the new game of those series too.

Play all three of the Donkey Kong Country games...
You might not love them all equally, but each game provides some memorable moments...

Super Mario All-Stars is a good choice for the SNES. Also, if you ever find a decently priced copy, pick up EarthBound.

Agreed, amazing title, ignore the sequel though (IMO)

My favourite SNES games of all time are (in no particular order):

Yoshi's Island
Super Mario World
Donkey Kong Country games (all of them!)
Axelay
Super Aleste
Contra 3
Super CastleVania + Dracula XX
TMNT IV: Turtles in Time
Zelda: LTTP
Pop 'n Twinbee
The Legend of the Mystical Ninja
Super Mario Kart
Sim City
Mickey Mouse: Magical Quest
Chrono Trigger
Micro Machines

So so many others too, but yeah, IMO can't go wrong with a single one of the above.
