Creating a list of the top 10 best SNES games ever is definitely something that will be subjective towards the creator's personal views. Both the games that make the list and the order of the list can be debated. Here is a list of the top 10 best SNES games ever.
10 - Street Fighter II Turbo: Hyper Fighting - This game gave the Street Fighter characters new color schemes, new special techniques, and additional game speed. The game replaced the need for arcade operators to install various hacks which allowed for increased speed in game play.
9 - EarthBound - Although not very successful in the United States, EarthBound was extremely successful in Japan. It was praised there for its humorous depictions of American culture (can't imagine why it sold poorly in the US) and parody of the RPG genre. Since then, it has become a cult classic.
8 - Final Fantasy II - By some, the graphics were considered outdated at the time of release. But FFII was praised for its length and bonus content and shipped over 1.28 million copies within five years of its initial release. It is considered one of the best Final Fantasy games and a great Final Fantasy game for the SNES.
7 - Mega Max X - Capcom's release for the SNES was a critical success. Mega Man X brought a new image to the series and was responsible for over a dozen follow-up and spin off games. It was identical to its predecessor series Mega Man, but added a host of new features to the game.
6 - Chrono Trigger - This console role-playing game has been called the number one of game of all-time on many people's top SNES lists. The development team for Chrono Trigger included three designers that were dubbed by Square as the "Dream Team". The game definitely lived up to expectations and was a critical and commercial success.
5 - Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars - This was the first console role-playing game in the Mario series. It is often compared to other RPGs near that time such as Chrono Trigger and the Final Fantasy series. Its success has mirrored the success of both of those games as well.
4 - Super Mario World - A side-scrolling platformer, Super Mario World was the ultimate Mario series platform game for the SNES. The game took three years to develop by the game design team, but has since sold over twenty million copies making it one of the best selling games ever.
3 - Final Fantasy III - This game is the best RPG in a series that is widely considered the best RPG series ever created. The game has sold millions of copies and been ported to multiple gaming platforms. The series legacy still lives on to this day with multiple Final Fantasy games coming out each year.
2 - Super Metroid - Although the Metroid series did not originally reach the commercial success that some of its counterparts did, Super Metroid was given near-universal acclaim upon release. It is considered by many to be one of the best, if not the best, 2d action adventure game ever.
1 - The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past - This game may not be number one on every list of the best SNES games ever, but for any fan of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System it absolutely must make the list. Both the Zelda series and the character of Link remain some of the most popular game icons in video game history. The game is considered to be one of the greatest video games, of any console, of all time.
The Super Nintendo Entertainment System is one of the best consoles ever created. There are many fantastic games that were created during this golden era of gaming. These are ten of the best SNES games ever created. What do you consider to be the top 10 best SNES games ever?
