I'll try to pretty it up later. http://snesrankings.com/games/150_126.html http://snesrankings.com/games/125_101.html I beat Disaster Report, and it's bad. SOS sounds very similar: terrible controls with an interesting premise. Seems like you enjoy the wrestling games that are more like fighting games than actual wrestling (Slam Masters, Wrestlemania Arcade). From the Tin Star review: "Gameplay is broken up into seven different levels, each representing a day of the week." My experience with Famicom games tells me this is a winning concept! Re: RNR Racing, I think the soundtrack is the difference. I never knew about RPM Racing back in the day, but I at least checked out RNR via rental. Maybe they marketed the game more, since they had a hook for it (or to make up for the cost of the music). Final Fight's sequels are a missed opportunity IMO. Neither added much to the genre, so I can't recommend playing any of the SNES games when you can just play the original arcade classic. (I guess I'm preemptively calling out Final Fight 3 for being ranked too high) Was expecting Star Fox in the top 100, but it absolutely doesn't hold up compared to 64, so good call. Battletoads was another that I agree with - tried it out recently and wasn't impressed. On the other hand, I tried out Firepower 2000 recently, and it's quite good. It's basically a 16-bit version of the NES game Silkworm. I don't enjoy it when shooters make you scroll the screen back and forth, but other than that, I really like it. I'd rank it higher. Doesn't seem like there will be too many surprises in the top 100. That's expected, since I think there's always been more a consensus about the system's top games compared to the NES. The order will be where the drama lies, so looking forward to it... Edited July 5, 2021 by scaryice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHCGreg | 111 Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 (edited) A few corrections: In the review for Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: Fighting Edition: It should be "Gundam Wing: Endless Duel", not "Gundam Endless Wing". The Final Fight 2 review includes a picture of Final Fight 3. Taking a ball in Super Baseball 2020 does not give you any cash. Strider did get a Genesis port. I haven't played it but I think it is pretty well regarded. Also, the NES game isn't a port of the arcade game, it's its own thing. Final Fight is ranked too low. As always, thanks for writing these!

I haven't played that much SNES but that's one game my daughter picked out based on box art so we tried it. I thought it was pretty solid for what it was as well.

fox | 1,666 Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Nice write ups. Finally up to the solid B and B+, the not quite classics, the hidden gems, etc. I feel like a lot of my snes collecting/playing in recent years has been with this tier of games. Games I never owned (maybe randomly rented) or just totally missed out on back in the 16 era, but really dig today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,932 Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Well that one was fun for those 2 new pages of stuff. Got me thinking about a few that I never had before but wanted like Saturday Night Slammasters (I just have Super WWF which is strangely good despite the bad breeding.) F1 Roc II I would have dismissed as another mindless f1 racer, but going arcady enough to be like F-Zero moves it into worth looking at. I was surprised to see oddballs like Ardy and Zero score nicely like that. I was surprised to both see Starfox 2 included, but also noted it would end up inthe 200s, seems a bit unfair, but then I saw the comment about only playing it once and it got me thinking. Was this played on standard difficulty? Nintendo did something really weird with the game I do not agree with on there, you have to play it on increasing difficulty levels to get more of the game, and hardest is the most. An entire part of the game is excluded which centers around a computer virus that'll have to be either taken down in flight, or once it hits your defense platform, as it will turn on both you and the planet doing an orbital bombardment. If it gets to that point, a full sequence is done where you basically blow stuff up off the platform using arwings as anti-virus. Going up in difficulty also increases the fights on planets and total battleships to take down too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gloves | 11,776 Administrator · Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 @Tanooki isn't that how all of the Star Fox games work? I mostly played the 64 game, but I'm pretty sure the original was the same - if you take the most difficult path, you get more of the story. It's just being presented in a different manner in 2, by asking you the difficulty you want to play on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just being presented in a different manner in 2, by asking you the difficulty you want to play on. Yeah kind of at least. The original one I don't think added more story, but primarily just gave harder stages to increase the challenge. N64 though I do think added a bit more dialog and stuff for more depth. I don't remember if the ones after did, never got that deep into them as the quality went downhill. Starfox 2 though is the most glaring, because not only is the game increasing the difficulty, it's the only way to get the actual full game from it and story too. Normal on this game, is like in the old 8/16bit era where you think you're cute playing on easy, then 4 of the 9 stages in the game says -- great playing, nice job on easy, now start over and play it right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
