So, I'm dumb and impulsive and I bought an SNES and Yoshi's Island. I've never owned an original SNES and I honestly haven't played any games on the original hardware (I played mostly GBA and DS ports).
But since I've already paid up for it, what games should I get now? Big nintendo fanboy, but I feel I should branch out and check out games published by other companies for the SNES.
I'm willing to spend up to about 50 bucks for a real good game, but anything rarer than that seems out of my price range.
Just wondering what games are must haves. I couldn't find a /vr/ FAQ.
Flash Cart Adventure 2: The Return
Obvious answer, but pick up Super Mario World and All Stars.
You can get them both on the same cart for like 30 bucks or so.
>>3274979
>I'm willing to spend up to $50
Chinese Super Everdrive
OP, you probably made a good purchase there. But trust me. Don't try to collect for SNES, you'll go broke in no time.
What you need to do now is get a SNES flashcart/everdrive so you can play ROMs on the actual hardware. It'll let you play most of the library on the original hardware for a fraction of the cost. You won't regret it.
Actually, getting Yoshi's Island may have been a really smart move. I don't know how many flashcarts support SuperFX games. FYI, I know Super Mario RPG is in high demand because it's the one game no flashcarts can run.
>>3275115
>I don't know how many flashcarts support SuperFX games
None of them do.
goof troop is good
Pretty much any capcom or konami game
>>3275038
>>3275049
Har har har. I'll look into it though.
>>3275045
Oh awesome. Obvious yeah, but I didn't realize you could get them on the same cart.
>>3275138
I'll look for it. Probably buy the extra controller.
>>3275115
Thanks for the in-depth answer. Looking at the cost of some of the really in demand stuff is pretty out there. I'll look into Everdrives, I didn't know this was an thing for real hardware.
By the way, my friend so far recommended I get Gradius and Super R-type, but that's about it.
>>3275409
If you don't like all stars then you certainly won't like super r type and gradius 3 as they are pretty shitty ports. You want r-type 3 and super aleste
>>3274979
Terri's Attack, Top Gear 2, Lion King are all good, super cheap games, but if you are looking forward for the must haves be prepared to shell out some dough.
>>3275461
Haha, Tetris Attack, right? I was confused.
I think I actually saw Lion King at the shop today. I'll snag a copy.
>>3274979

Get a flashcart and buy the unsupported gaems. Don't bother with a sd2snes.
As for flash carts, are these only available online?
>>3276227
>>3278368
I've seen a couple pop up on craigslist in my area in the last year or so. You could post a want ad, and see if anyone comes out of the woodwork.
street fighter ii for snes retails at like €25 so get that if you dont own it on anything else
How much did they cost?
Hagane, Megaman x3, Harvest Moon, Wild Guns, E.V.O: Search for Eden, Metal Warriors and Fun n Games all need to be your top priority. Oh and Earthbound too.actually, the real funny thing is that Earthbound is a cheaper game then everything on that list, save one.
>>3274979
How much u paid op
Get super star wars
>>3275409
>Har har har. I'll look into it though
I wasn't joking. As someone who just picked up a SNES for the first time you'd be dumb not to get a flash cart ASAP. You'll want a game to play while you wait for the shipping but you've got Yoshi's Island. If that's not enough, then I'd say just grab a $4 copy of SMW. Play the All-Stars ports off your Everdrive if you must while you build up $200 for an AV Famicom and an N8 Everdrive
>>3275138
It blew my mind that Resident Evil started out as Goof Troop
>>3279038
I'll order an Everdrive tonight, just seems weird paying 80 bucks for something so shady. I am just afraid I'll get something that just doesn't work. So, they are illegal? That makes sense, but with people making shit like the Retron, I thought it was like, public domain or something.
>>3279030
>>3278781
My friend says I got ripped off. 80 for the SNES and 40 for the game. I bought it at a brick and mortar store though, so it is to be expected. They are pristine at the very least. Oh shit, Super Star Wars is the best. I need that.
>>3278737
There are like a billion SF2s for the SNES, aren't there? Which one?
>>3278963
Haha, Jesus. I appreciate the game suggestions, but yeah, I'll see if I can cart.
I just bought a Super Gameboy. Hopefully that wasn't a waste.
Super Star Wars is a golden title (literally) if you don't mind gitting gud
>>3274979
>its a "whats the best game for x system guys?" thread again
>>3279750
I admittedly never have been on this board before I made this thread and the lists I found online were either of expensive games or of games that every knows about.
Donkey Kong Country for sure

turbo or championship
you might get cart only for a few dollars
>>3274979
get an everdrive. the only good games it doesnt support are starfox yoshi island and mario rpg.
Well, I ordered an Everdrive. Thanks. It is pretty pricey, but looking at the cost of the games at my local used retro game shop, it should pay off quick.
>>3279328
You should only pay about $50-$60 for a Chinese Super Everdrive on AliExpress. They're not illegal it's the ROMs that are illegal but the Everdrive itself doesn't come with any ROMs.
>>3280071
I guess I fucked up. I bought a Super Everdrive from a US company and paid 100 or so (additional cost for like, having a shell and SD game).
>>3280104
It'll be a better quality anyway.
>>3280132
That's good to hear.
>>3280132
>fooling yourself this much
Do yourself a favor and, if you aren't getting an everdrive, clip those two tabs so you can play SFC games. Then but Japanese versions of any Non-text heavy game.

Shit's gay
Is there any console, without any Internet connection?
a console without the internet.
with only local multiplayer (from the same console)
without peripherals for internet
Cheap RPG, it can be insanely frustrating from the get go but youll get used to it. The soundtrack is absolutely amazing.
>>3279328
>My friend says I got ripped off. 80 for the SNES and 40 for the game.
Depends on condition though, did the SNES come with multiple controllers? How much yellowing is visible on it? If Yoshi's Island was cartridge only though I'd say you got ripped off there.
Anyways, as for games... Super Mario World's a must-have. Decent game that can be picked up for about $20.
Super Star Wars is fun, but it's a little challenging. Its equally-priced sequels have a password system but they're a bit harder.
F-Zero can also be picked up for around the same price, as can be Plok, a fun Rayman-like platformer that is around just as much.
Honestly a lot of the greatest SNES games everyone knows about are in the $20-$35 price range, but some of the lower priced ones in that range I'd recommend you check out include Star Fox, Kirby's Dream Course, and Donkey Kong Country 1-2. There's also Super Mario All-Stars, a remaster of the Mario NES trilogy + Lost Levels if you're a fan of those games.
>>3281891
No yellowing, one controller though. And yeah, it was just the cart. I just remembered I also bought another game (PS1), so it wasn't actually 40. I just misremembered.
I am definitely getting Super Star Wars. I dunno where I played that game, but I played it a bunch as a kid.
>>3282173
Well I guess that's not too bad if there's no yellowing on it. This site: https://www.pricecharting.com/console/super-nintendo is pretty good for checking the average prices of retro games, so I believe it could be of use.
Congrats on your purchase OP.
I'm asking seriously here, not trying to start any shit. I just want to know some of your opinions or points of view.
My question is, why would you go through all of the trouble to buy an old system and an $80 flash cart just to do the same thing you can do for free with a PC or laptop? Hell, you can just run a video cable to the TV from the PC if you want, I do that all the time.
You can even get USB controllers that very much resembles the original SNES controller.
You aren't even buying the games, you are still just downloading the same ROMs that I'm playing on the PC when using one of those flash carts.
Is it just because you like looking at the SNES sitting in your entertainment center?
>>3282798
Personally i only fuck with original carts. But i got a super famicom and a genesis instead of super nintendo, so games are a lot cheaper. Also a super gameboy. Been able to get great deals on games, nothing i have cost more than 20
>>3282798
Me and a friend are going to a retro game convention in July and I thought it would be pretty sad to have gone through all that only to window shop. I had wanted to get like a Retron, but everyone told me they are plagued with issues and are essentially the worst of both worlds. So, I got an SNES because I figured, this way if I discover something at the convention or find a good deal, I would have something to play it on. I figured it would be the first step in building a collection.
My original intention WAS to have a collection. As for the flash cart, after posting this thread, I did some research and looked around. Games are expensive and people overcharge. It makes sense, but my local shop has Super Mario World for 20 bucks. 20 bucks! What the fuck? The people in this thread convinced me. I realized that I would be burning money by impulsively buying any good game. I decided I'd get a flash cart for games I can't find at a reasonable price. I still WANT to collect physical games, but this way I have a fallback for games that are must-plays but are simply not within the budget.
As for why I wanted a physical console rather than just playing ROMs and skipping the convention, playing a game on PC (even hooked up to a TV) is a completely different experience to me. If I am on a computer, I am in a different mindset. I am on 4chan, I am playing my PC games, I am in and out. I can't just sit and play a game on a computer for hours on end the way I can on a dedicated console. It is obviously a personal thing and I can't fault anyone for thinking that is ridiculous, it is the same game right? But I have no elitism and pretension when it comes to this, I like playing games on a dedicated games machine.
And yes, it is kind of nice seeing an SNES on my desk. I do want to remind you that the first sentence of this thread was "I am dumb and impulsive".
>>3282867
Import gameboy stuff can be pretty cheap too. Paid 7 bucks for both (jap versions) fyi gb is region free

Mario All-Stars w/ SMW
Doom
Tetris Attack w/ Dr.Mario
and that's all you need sempai
just buy everdrive or something similar
lots of great snes games out there
>>3282868
I mean, don't get me wrong. Im 37 and the nostalgia is strong for a lot of these games and systems. However, I find that after I play them for a little bit, the nostalgia starts to subside and I can move on again. Doesn't mean I won't go back at some point though.
I'm actually in the beginning stages of building an arcade cabinet. However, most of those games are only available through emulation. So I have the PC and X arcade Tank Stick. I just need to get going on the cabinet I finish up a couple of other home projects. It's definitely happening this year and hopefully before the summer is over.

>>3283073
Forreal senpai. But how about snes wolfenstein
>>3274979
Well, you already got Yoshi's Island. So:
>Starfox
Get it as a cart. After all, it's a Super FX game too and won't work with a flash cart.
>Super Metroid
One of the very best games on the SNES. Sidescrolling Shooter/Plattformer/Adventure game/Whatever. There is a reason its a genre is named after it.
>The Legend of Zelda
You said you are a Nintendo fanboy, so this should be a no brainer.
>F-Zero
Just get it, seriously, if you only so slightly like racing games, get it! Piece of art.
>Super Street Fighter 2
The get-go fighting game here.
>Rock'n'Roll Racing
Made by the company we know as Blizzard today. Top-down racing game set in the future. Really cool soundtrack for a SNES game, i recommend you look at YouTube if that might interest you (or simply try the rom).
>Donkey Kong Country
Again, Nintendo fanboy? Like plattformers? Just get it.
>Donkey Kong Country 2
See DKC +1.
>Donkey Kong Country 3
Not as essential as 1 and 2, but still a great game, just a bit different.
>Fatal Fury Special
For fighters on SNES everybody always only thinks of Street Fighter, but personally, I like FF even a bit more. Special is basically just FF2 with more characters.
>Super Mario All-Stars
All three NES Marios, plus the original Japanese SMB2 (Lost Levels) in one. What's not to love?
>Pilotwings
Flying game for all kinds of sometimes strange aircraft, not as "advanced" as its 64 successor, but I always loved it. I'd recommend the same as for R'n'R Racing, look for a gameplay video or just try it out via rom, it's worth it.
>Sim City
Its bare bones and kid of "primitive" compared to a lot of new(er) city builders, but none of them comes even close to the charm of the SNES version of the first, not even the PC version.
>Super Mario World
THE quintessential SNES game, like Super Mario 64 for the N64 or Super Mario Bros.3 for the NES, it's not the full SNES experience without this game.
>Super Mario Kart
Start of a cult series, holds up to this day. Must have. +1 with a friend.
>>3283814
Forgot to add:
Starfox, F-Zero and Pilotwings shouldn't be too expensive yet if you still want to collect physical copies. (Got all 3 for 10 bucks each a few weeks/months ago)
>>3275115
>Don't try to collect for SNES, you'll go broke in no time.
This
>tfw bought ALttP for 60+ yurobucks since it was the only english cart on ebay in good condition
That was the fourth game I bought and where I stopped collecting. I guess NTSC carts probably cost less since more of them were sold back in the day, but still if you don't want to spend a shitton of money either get yourself a flashcart or softmod a Wii.
My area's store is actually pretty fair on SNES prices. They typically under-sell compared to eBay. I'm not sure if it was to bring in collectors or because the old man store owner just didn't know. They have like 10 copies of ALttP for $35 each and most good SNES stuff they sell is between $35-$55 (Final Fantasy games, MegaMan X) for things in lower quantity and $15-$20 (Super Mario World, Donkey Kong Country) for games they're up to their eyeballs in. It's how I got Earthbound for a not retarded price. While not ideal, nothing new coming out is peaking my interest, so occasionally buying something there is fine with me. I still troll garage sales and flea markets for good deals.
