Title: Any Super Nintendo games that either don't suck or don't have cheap difficulty?
Post by: SuperDeadite on July 15, 2015, 11:10:45 AM
I have tried very hard, and this system seems to have very little worth playing.  Growing up as an NES kid I was truly hoping for amazing things, but let's face it, this thing sucks.

Super Mario World.  No imagination at all compared to 3.  Dinosaur World?  Rolf, Master Higgens covered that shit years ago.  And you know Higgens actually got mad pussy from that chick everytime.  Hell Higgens is such a player he probably was doing anal with the dinos as he rode them, he knows how to party.  Oh and what I am fighting in Dino World?  Football players, what? This game sucks.  And in the next Mario game, the poor plumber became such a little bitch that he can't even walk, a god damned dinosaur has to carry around his lazy ass.  IT SUCKS IT SUCKS IT SUCKS!

Well let's see how about Star Wars?  LucasArts was the man back in the 90's, their PC games were high quality works of art.  Now we got Super StarWars here, hmm it seems this game is quite challenging, I get hit again and again, but wait everything drops a heart.  So it don't matter if I gets hit or not.  And now look falling death platforms in the Sandcrawler with not warning.  WTF is this shit?  So cheap, so lame, so SNES.  Hell, on Fami we had a StarWars game where Vader turns into a big pink shark.  Odd, sure, but damn amazing and fun to play, guess I expect too much from a box called SUPER.

After that?  Well Super Metroid was ok, but really loses it's appeal after one full playthrough.  And then we got MODE 7, MODE 7, MODE 7, MODE 7, MODE 7, MODE 7, MODE 7, MODE 7, MODE 7, MODE 7, MODE 7.........

f*ck THIS SHIT, OB3Y PCE!

Chrono Trigger
Secret of Mana
Actraiser 1
Soul Blazer
Eathbound
Final Fantasy 4-6
Breath of Fire 1 & 2 (even with the horrid translation of 2)
Dragon Quest 5 & 6
Drakkhen 1 & 2
Arcana

Lufia 1 & 2
Lagoon
Super Mario RPG
7th Saga

Super Mario Kart

Lots of great rpgs for the system. Can't say I enjoyed much of any other genre on that system.

Super Metroid Alone Justifies the system.  Super Contra As well.  I really liked Yoshi's Island as well, so immersive and pretty game.  Who doesn't like F-Zero?  Mario kart as well?

Great system can't really be knocked.

There's a handful of really great games for the system.
but i've found that i like the stuff people don't seem to talk about.
Joe & Mac is a lot of fun.
Demon's crest is really good, but not worth the money imo.

Genesis does what Nintendon't

Although there are loads of SNES games I enjoy, I am not a fan of those 2 games (or Yoshi's Island for that matter).

Tengai Makyou Zero alone justifies the system for me.

I know this thread's supposed to be a pisstake of the Master System thread, but I'll answer it seriously anyway.

Yes, the SNES was easily the weakest of the 16-bit machines... but to say it flat out sucks is overstating it. Granted, a lot of the big name titles (and even some of the so-called "hidden gems" like Doremi Fantasy and Actraiser) are overrated tripe, but there's enough gold on the system to make it worthwhile. Even if you don't particularly care for RPGs and adventure games.

Hagane
Wild Guns
Pocky & Rocky
Sutte Hakkun
Umihara Kawase
Magical Pop'n
Ganbare Goemon 2, 3 & 4
The Violinist of Hamelin
Super Gussun Oyoyo 2
Macross: Scrambled Valkyrie
Bio Metal
Super Aleste
Chaos Seed

Notice that only one of those was an RPG.  :wink:

Chrono Trigger

Robotrek

Dragon Quest 5 & 6

Super Mario RPG
7th Saga
The Legend of Zelda (how could you forget that!) ;)

Lots of great rpgs for the system. Can't say I enjoyed much of any other genre on that system.

Yeah, that's a good list and why I loved the system. Some more I would add:

Super Metroid
Wild Guns (surprisingly fun, glad I ran into imports like this thanks to emulation)
Donkey Kong Country 1-3
Megaman X++
Super Punchout (not as fun as Mike Tyson's, but still fun)

Wild Guns is one of the best rail shooters i've played.I had a friend make a repro of the game for me.Sure,it's not official but the price for a original isn't worth it to me.

Totally agree on Wild Guns. It is one of my top five favorite SNES games. Not many games like it. Nam-1975 is similar, but it's very hard. The only bad thing I will say about Wild Guns is that the controls feel a little awkward. The lasso mechanic doesn't work very well as you have to tap the shoot button to execute it. Sometimes you shoot when you're trying to lasso and vice versa.

Super Punchout (not as fun as Mike Tyson's, but still fun)


This is probably my favorite game on Super Nintendo, personally I think it blends the best of the arcade and NES versions thus making it more enjoyable than the other two.

Another game I like (which is fun with two players) is Disney's Goof Troop. It is short but a good play through!

I've got most of the SNES stuff I want but Goof Troop is one that others have recommended which isn't horribly priced yet.  Will have to snag a copy eventually.

Yea, its definitely cheap still, I paid $8 for a loose copy earlier this year. My biggest complaint is the game isn't hard enough but I guess you need to keep in mind the audience the game was designed for. Either way it is a fun play through especially with another human player

Another game that I enjoy for Super Nintendo is The Firemen (released only in Europe and Japan)

Avoid Final Fantasy Mystic Quest.  It is an RPG on training wheels. Lots of hand holding, limited flexibility on where you go next so it's hard to get lost and confused, and too many obvious clue and info on what to do next. Plus I've defeated the final boss in as little as 2 rounds using cure spell. (only hero the main character's spell works, Phoebe's cure does not work)

I haven't played Mystic Quest since it was first released but I remember I quite enjoyed it.
Before playing it I'd read that it was a simple RPG/Final Fantasy game for younger players, so I went in with low expectations and was pleasantly surprised. There are much better RPGs on the SNES/SFC, but once you've played all the best ones, personally I'd recommend checking out Mystic Quest, just don't expect a deep game.

I rented FFMQ when it came out, and it felt like a cheap dumbed down phone game, even though they didn't technically exist yet. At the time, the best way I could describe it was "not a real game". Like it was devolved down to the point of being more of a demo or early version of a non-final game. I don't hate it, I just couldn't take it seriously back when it was current.

About the only thing decent about FFMQ was the music. Other than that, not even a weekend rental, more like a night rental.

I'm not gonna get into defending Mystic Quest as I don't have enough attachment or nostalgia with it as I do with many, many other SFC/SNES games.
But I stand by it's not as terrible a game as being made out. As long as you go into it expecting what it was designed to be, which is a simple RPG made for younger children, with that in mind it's an ok game. Just don't expect it to be like Final Fantasy IV or VI.

Yeah, I beat Mystic Quest, and it is what it was intended to be, a "starter" type RPG (like wilykat said, an RPG on training wheels) for a lower age group of game player (somewhere under 8-9 I guess). I thought this was understood from the packaging and what not.

Anyone play Zenki Battle Raiden? Unknown licensed game that is actually one of the best games on the system.

The moveset is pretty fantastic. Charged punches, a jump kick button, ki blasts, tornado uppercuts, and even a dash punch.

Level design is also pretty solid, excellent graphics and music, and the game is by the people that made Hagane.

You know, although this is technically true, I never found the HardType to be any harder than the EasyType. Sure there are more potions now, and some minor things here or there. Tunnels are harder to find, but maybe because I played EasyType first, when I first played the HardType (translated ROM), I didn't find it hard, and I found that a lot of what they cut out made it not easier, but more streamlined. I almost never used the various magical attack items. In fact, end game, I sold them all. They were worthless. Same with Cecil's Darkness. Was cool to figure out why Cecil's twin uses it on Mt. Ordeals, but wasn't very useful.

I do consider it the definitive version, but it wasn't that difficult, and it wasn't like the EasyType was substantially weaker.

Hate to say it, but Easytype or Hardtype are still pretty easy. Then again, it could be because I played the shit out of 2 when I was a lad.

So based on the recent discussion of Mystic Quest I decided to pick up a copy given that it goes for so cheap. I have never been able to get into RPG's so my thinking is maybe if I play something that was designed for newcomers to the genre maybe I can ease into it and eventually enjoy the many good games of this genre. Thoughts? Am I started with too simple/terrible of a game that I will be turned off for good?

It's true, I read the reason behind the game was it was designed to introduce westerners to JRPGs as they thought standard JRPGs would be too hard for their demographic and also make them accessible to younger players. I think they got this wrong, westerners were fine with the level of difficulty of standard JRPGs, but maybe they were right with the younger players bit.
So to answer your question I definitely don't think it would be a good game to start with. I would only advise checking it out if you have played all the other great RPGs on the SNES/SFC.

I was doing laps through AD&D Treasure of Tarmin (270'ish floors) when I was 6 or 7 years old. Long before I knew what a "RPG" was, had figured out that I loved them, or actually begun to seek them out.

Personally I think Super Mario RPG is a better choice if you're not used to playing that genre. It has some platforming, but it does a good job getting you used to RPGs. It was my first RPG.

Great system can't really be knocked.
For good games to number of games ratio, the SNES is kind of a shit pile.  With that said even I like the system.

By that logic, the same goes for every popular game system, e.g. PlayStation, NES, Genesis, Xbox 360, Wii...

I was always a fan of super punch out.  Cheap game like $20 loose and provides hours of fun.  Just hard enough to keep me coming back for more after I lost.  I eventually beat it and got so good that I could knock out The Bruisers in the first round every time.


Great game.

I enjoyed mystic quest on game boy. I think I was about 10 at the time. Never played mystic quest on snesss so I don't know if they have any relation at all.

FF Legend series on Gameboy = Romancing Sa-Ga series in Japan
FF Adventure on Gameboy = Seiken Densetsu (prequel to "Secret of Mana")

In Europe, FF Adventure was called Mystic Quest.

So you like Secret of Mana. :P

I haven't thought about Metal Combat in forever.  That game was fantastic; it reminded me of Punchout but with the super scope.

I always liked snes Battletoads even though I didn't like it as much as the nes version.  Is the difficulty "cheap"?  Ehh, it'll take some effort to win, certainly, but it's totally doable.
