SUPER NINTENDO 25 YEAR ANNIVERSARY!

[Otaking]

Today is the 25th anniversary for the US Super Nintendo, wow I'm really getting old.
My personal first experiance with the system was the Super Famicom earlier in 1991.
In my opinion it's the greatest video games console of all time, the game library is insanely good.

Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts was my favorite launch title and remains one of my favorite SNES games. I didn't like the visuals and style of Ghouls 'n Ghosts when it came out for Genesis and thought that Sega had just made their own bastardized sequel. Super GnG was what I expected aesthetically from a 16-bit Ghosts 'n Goblins and it has one of the soundtracks that plays well with the weaknesses of the SNES sound.

Super Mario World was neat and I appreciated the superfluous levels, but it gets harder and harder to play far into as years go by.

The SNES is the first system I bought with my own money, so that makes it a little extra special for me. It definitely represents a point at which I formed a lot of my tastes. Playing Street Fighter II started my obsession with fighting games, and it had RPGs I actually liked after having hated Dragon Warrior on NES. Definitely a great system with great games.

Awesome console. I may be 18, but my childhood was full of snes classics on the gameboy, with the perfect Super Mario World and the impeccable Yoshi's Island.

I'm still trying to explore the platform. Compared to Turbografx, there aren't as many pick up and play games, but the top of the library is incredible.

Unpopular opinion: LTTP is not even close in quality to Super Metroid. It's a good game but could've been better.

Some games I enjoy are:

Super Bonk 1 and 2 (1 is ok)
Mario World
Donkey Kong Country
Ninja Warriors
Gokujo Parodius
Goemon 2
Megaman X
Zenki Battle Raiden
DBZ Hyper Dimension
Super Metroid
Hammerin Harry
Rendering Ranger (awesome shooter, okay run and gun)

I got mine the day it came out. I mowed sooooooooo many lawns that summer it wasn't even funny. Still have it (and fixed up by Desh) and play on it to this day. Just got Ogre Battle for not an obscene amount of money today and will be playing it quite a bit this 4 day holiday coming up..

Still one of the best console that nintendo ever produce.It also being the last time,nintendo really had good third party support to.I don't regret either importing a sfc to play the games.That i missed out on when i owned one for a short time in the early 90's.

I remember being in some toy stores in NYC on a family vacation to the Macy's day parade the year it released and seeing the system demoed.  It wasn't until many years later I  owned the system, as my parents didn't upgrade me from NES until I got a Genesis after Mortal Monday, so the nostalgia isn't there so much for me...  however, SMW is arguably the best launch game of all time.

I remember getting it at about launch.  My sister was 16 at the time and I was 14.  She had her first job and I begged her to get me a snes.  She finally did and I was so excited for the system.  I remember getting final fight and final fantasy 2 that fall.  The snes had a great launch window of games.

My only regret was because of this and the Turbo I became a snob and didn't want anything to do with the nes.  Missed out on a lot of good 8-bit games that came out from 1990 and on lol.

I personally like that there is still a wealth of games for the SNES I have get to experience. My ever growing list of SNES games to pick up seems to never shrink lol.


Granted these are mostly RPGs. And currently RPGs are a genre I simply don't have the time to invest in.

Damn, 25 years already.  I got mine for Xmas the following year of the launch.  I didn't buy a lot of games back then but I was able to borrow SNES games since almost everyone I knew had a SNES.  The few that I remember buying were Final Fight, Pilot Wings, and Street Fighter II.  Also, I remember my friend and I foolishly paid $110 for SFC Dragon Ball Z Super Butouden when it came out because we really wanted it. 

A great system with some fantastic games but I'll always prefer the Turbo.

I remember selling a bunch of my NES games at a garage sale to fund my SNES. I remember on the way home I held on to the box and grinned from ear to ear imagining what was in store....
