Super Nintendo Entertainment System

I just finished Super Mario World, didn't have nothing to do on my afternoon and picked tmy GBA, and was reminded how much I played this game back in the snes-era. I remember getting frustrated when I couldn´t find the way to get to Soda Lake, or how excited I got when I first discovered the star world. This is isn't an angtser post on how old consoles are better, just a nice reminder on some games that we played religiously (at least I did).

I already talked about the father of many gamers, SMW, now I'm going to some games I remember back in my snes days.

Who can forget Super Metroid, I got this for my birthday and remember at first it seemed boring, after I got the Morphing Ball the game just got better, the bosses, finding all the power-ups, man I had a blast playing this game. After that I became a Metroid addict, and yeah I have enjoyed every single game of Metroid. All do some people argue they are repetitive, I guess I like how they add complexity to the games yet keep some old elements.

Next we have Donnkey Kong Country 2, yeah I already made a post on the forums saying how much I love this game, but seriously, I do. I bought it with my savings and remember that DKC was so awesome, and was hoping DKC 2 would be just as cool, and it was better. Setting apart the pirate theme, plenty of secrets, kick ass animal partners I can always play this game ( all do knowing every secret does make it boring sometimes ) and enjoy it. Everytime. DKC 3 was also good, but not as good like it's predecessors but enjoyable.

If you are doubtful about acquiring this games on virtual consoles, I strongly recommend them. I plan on expanding this list because the snes has more than a hundred great games that IMO all people that play games should play atleast once.

On the next issue we explore Chrono Trigger, Act Raiser, Super Mario Kart and Kirby Super Star.

Nice write-up! I was a Genesis kid, so I can’t comment otherwise on your observations.

Also, you do know that you can edit your blog to change Act Raiser to Mega Man X yourself, right?

My SNES is a nob and refuses to play games half the time. It makes me sad.. I'm trying to catch up via VC but I have little moneys.

That said, I have played SMW and Metroid and they're both amazing! Although best SNES game = Earthbound. Blates.

Way to go old school. Some excellent titles you've got on your "to-play" list. Super Metroid is definitely my favorite title in the Metroid franchise.

 about me

I'm a proud mexican that plays videogames.

I currently study International Business, still don't know my major but I'll get back to you on this one.

Besides videogaming I do swimming and muay thai for fun.

Videogames are always fun, but it gets better if it's a RPG, Fighting, Horror Survival or Adventure. I'm currently playing The Orange Box.
