Virtua Fighter 2.
Super Metroid, Sonic 3 & Knuckles, Daytona USA and Mega Man X are up there too. What a great year for games.

Sonic 3 and DKC were definitively my 1994 GOTYs, I was a platformer kid (still am, can't get enough of the genre).
Other than that, Darkstalkers, although I got into it some years later around 97 or so.
Doom 2 of course
Doom 2 isn't a big enough improvement over Doom 1 to win.
Niggers.
Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo or DOOM 2
SWOS

Wing Commander 3 blew my mind with the fighting.
the video was a novelty though. The compression was too terrible to let it pass.

Don't forget FF6, released in October. Earthbound also came out in 1994, but only in Japan.
Tie fucking Fighter.

Donkey Kong '94 for the Game Boy. Megaman X and S3&K are of course also fantastic games, really there were a ton of fantastic games.
Insane to think this came out in 1994
