Forums - Gaming Discussion - Top 5/10 Super NES Games

RolStoppable said:

In no particular order:

F-Zero
Super Mario Kart
Super Mario World
Super Mario All-Stars
Yoshi's Island
Super Metroid
The Legend of Zelda - A Link to the Past
Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest
Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble
Terranigma

People say that the SNES had great third party games, and while true, that doesn't mean they were top 10 material. Regardless, I dropped Donkey Kong Country from the list to add a token third party game.

@SanAndreasX Trials of Mana, really? You liked the turn-based real-time battle system of that game? That was a hot mess, including the amazing enemy AI that countered Angela spells with the most powerful attacks, making the slowest character in the game even more annoying.

EDIT: Everyone, ignore the guy below me.

What?  I just thought there must have been some sort of code to deduce from your repetition.  Seems like a fair assumption given your penchant for puzzles.
