Getting a SFC suggest me a few games :)

Hi there,

I just got a nice Super Famicom which I plan to use with a Super Everdrive. Back in the day I never owned a SNES/SFC, and while I am aware of most well known titles I have absolutely no idea of which are the 'hidden gems'.

I was wondering if you guys could say, mention, in your opinion what you think are the best 3 (hidden/less known US or Japanese) games in each of the following categories.

RPG/SRPG (Released in English or patch translated)
Shooter
Platformer
Puzzle
Other (?)

Thanks

 

RPG/SRPG >> chrono trigger-not a hidden gem but simply the best rpg on the system.
Shooter >> kiki kaikai
Platformer >> magical pop`n & umihara kawase
Puzzle >> sutte hakkun
Other >> turtles in time :thumbsup:

 

Thanks

But you forgot to mention the game for RPG

 

ups, chrono trigger!

 

Hehe, I would have bet you would have picked that one

 

IMO there are 3 really good rpgs on the snes: earthbound, FF6 and chrono trigger but CT beats them all.

 

RPG/SRPG -> Bahamut Lagoon, Rudra no Hihou
Shooter -> Super Aleste
Puzzle -> Super Puyo Puyo 2

...are those that first came to mind reading "SFC" and the genres. Of course, plus a host of other, more well-known or well-loved games (Chrono Trigger, etc.)

 

Just "rebought" jap version of super metroid..It's still outstandingly good.

 

I never finished super metroid shame on me!

 

Look on these webpages.

i recommend you
Survival Horror:
Clock Tower

Soccer:
Dolucky Soccer

Strategie:
Front Mission

Beat em Up:
Shin Kidou Senshi Gundam W: Endless Duel

Puzzle:
Sutte Hakkun

Shooter:
Rendering Ranger

RPG:
Chaos Seed

Adventure:
Famicom Tantei Club Part II

Plattformer:
Ganbare Goemon 2

 

for real?! I think its totally overpriced and a mediocre shooter!

 

Wow, thanks a lot guys for the feedback, I have a lot of games to checkout

Cheers!

 

The price is another thing but the game is great i think.:thumbsup:

 

Secret of Mana and then Seiken Densetsu 3 (ENG patched)

 

Demons Blazon..Quality Capcom G n G spin off..Nice post, on a super famicom collection spree myself Their is a copy of rendering rangers on ebay at the mo..£240.00, with, I think, 4 days left....

 

If you like Strategy games give SD Gundam X a try. If you like a strategy RPG, try Der Langrisser. For an action/platformer try Majou Ou aka King of Demons. Another odd game to try out would be Umihara Kawase. I haven't played much of it but it has interesting gameplay from what I saw.

Another good platformer/beat em up I recommend checking out is BS Kaizou Choujin Shubibinman Zero.

 

Tactics Ogre!

 

A few simpler games were made already near 100% english. Super Tetris 2, Super Tetris 3, Super Bombliss. Mario & Wario too if you have the mouse.

 

Only if you're buying them...

Do-Re-Mi Fantasy
Umihara Kawase
Super Metroid (should be played by everyone, period)

 

I suppose that The Firemen is becoming more well known these days. Fantastic game.
