![]() ![]() This has fed into the popularity of collecting rare SNES games for many. Then there's the advent of some modern JRPGs which harken back to 16-bit classics, such as Chained Echoes, Octopath Traveler, and Harvestalla.Įven Dragon Quest 11 has a release with a 16-bit visual mode. Updated January 5th, 2023 by Stephen LaGioia: Considered by many to be the "Glory Days of Gaming," the 16-bit era has often become the go-go when it comes to its pixel-art sprites and swift, action-focused gameplay. ![]() It'll also cover the conditions and events leading to their scarcity and value. This list will comb the unique, vast library of this beloved retro console and cover its rarest games. RELATED: The Rarest NES Games Ever (And Why They're So Rare) But there are also a surprising amount of limited, unpopular, or otherwise obscure games whose scarcity is a draw for collectors. ![]() There are several titles by both Nintendo and third parties that had been produced in large numbers thanks to strong sales. There's also got the relative durability of the game carts that lend themselves to preservation. It's odd, given the vast, diverse lineup of hundreds of games this charming 16-bit machine features. So… one of those games probably is still fun to play.When it comes to game libraries that appeal to collectors, the SNES is one that's been somewhat overlooked. The times I got to play it with others it got more heated than one would anticipate as putting low fare flights on your opponent’s most profitable route to undercut them was almost always not appreciated. It was never the most complex strategy game but I enjoyed Aerobiz Supersonic as there weren’t exactly a ton of multiplayer strategy games available back then. It has a Capcom sprite version of Vader, so obviously it is a great game. Saturday Night Slam Masters is my favorite wrestling game from that era as it is basically a dumbed down Capcom fighter with great looking characters. I’d be surprised if those sections were tolerable at this point but I’d kinda like to revisit the overworld some day. It’s basically a top down Zelda-like with dungeons that are actually FPS levels, and they were smart enough to actually let you use the SNES mouse for said sections. I have absolutely no idea if the SNES version of Jurassic Park holds up, but I found it to be an interesting game back in the day. The SNES version of Prince of Persia is a unique version of the game that has about twice as many levels as the original one, so for fans of the game it is much worth checking out. Turtles in time has ‘bury my shell at wounded knee’ and pirates, and lasers, and flying cars. But these are some fun slash through for story games. I’m not sure Secrets of Mana and Evermore are still ‘known’ to anyone that doesn’t remember the good old days. If you haven’t played EVO search for Eden please give it a whirl, this evolutionary game is a concept I would of sworn would of been stolen by a newer game by now but hasn’t. The Donkey Kong country games are still some of the best platformers, and while they look a bit dated now, they still set the bar in several respects. There has just been some ports of the old Disney games, and Aladdin is still among the tops for gorgeous games on this system, showing this clearly wasn’t just a cash in. Sure we can talk about the best entries in Zedla, Mario, Metroid, Kirby for awhile, and I’d love to but I think some games need some love from the forefront. I’d lead off the suggestions with going beyond the obvious ones. I have to jump to this one faster than I would of liked given how lively the NES thread has been.īut is having us do a SNES cast next week and I think this would be good prep, and let me talk a bit more about why I really like the SNES over the NES. ![]()
