SNES questions galore!
Hello. I recall playing and loving several SNES games when they were released. At the time I was in my early 20s and all I really know of SNES is the games that I have played personally and from a few sites that I have visited.
Here is what I am wondering:
EVERYTHING really. Probably too much to get into in this thread. For one, what are the "essentials" ? Not 'rare' games per se, but the ones that are killer titles. Also, what of this 'Yobo' handheld machine? Does it play all of the games well, or? I looked on Google for a SNES fansite/forum, but didnt find any that really were current. I know that this system is a fan favorite, and from what I have seen for VERY good reason, but I need to know MORE. I suppose what I am really asking is for any 'SNES pros' here to give me any and all opinions that they have regarding the system, its games, the Yobo machine, the accessories, EVERYthing! You can post here or PM me. I'm sure that just as there are folks here that focus on NES and GameBoy that there must be SOME that adore and focus on the SNES. So then, tell me everything, because the extent of my SNES 'knowledge' is Castlevania, Zelda, and a small handful of other games. Oh, and I know that the original Japanese machine was called the Super Famicom, but thats about it!
Opinions? Recommendations? "Insider info" on the system and its library? I want it ALL.
Thanks guys! 
Regards,
A.R.

I really think the snes is the best ever i love it.. I would rec. to you to play through the DKC trilogy those are some of the best plat formers ever made.
Lemme know if you need some games or any help.
Anyway, yeah, I'm more of an NES guy than an SNES guy. I'd go with Joe's recommendations, save personal-preference conflicts (ie if you don't like fighting games, don't bother with Killer Instinct, etc).
Super Punchout
Gradius 3
SMash TV
And yes, Wizard was correct, I NEED portability. I own at least 6 SNES decks, thats not an issue.
Although I'm mainly a NES collector, you gotta admit the SNES is probably one of the best systems ever in terms of quality games! I think most of the must-owns were mentioned already... except R-Type III (IMHO). Not be confused with Super R-type, which is not nearly as good. Oh, and Super Double Dragon. So many good games I want to mention but I'm trying to be selective... Sparkster... Uniracers... Tetris Attack is pretty addictive. Ooh- Actraiser!
A.R., what kind of games do you enjoy most? RPGs (if so, SNES is THE system), Shmups, Platform...?
Edit: ...and Zombies At my Neighbors! Pocky & Rocky! Mystical Ninja!
Edit Edit: I think I might need to start seriously collecting for the SNES now, LOL!
I'm getting all excited and drooly thinking of how many awesome games there are... plus it's so easy to import for (just open the SNES up and break the plastic tabs)
Edit^3: Super Ghouls N Ghosts!! Demon's Crest!!! and don't forget to pick up a Super Gameboy so you can play your old GB games in beautiful yet limited color! oh and Mario Paint is somewhat dated but still provides some silly fun (I mean, who wouldn't want to draw weiners and boobs on their SNES??)
AWESOME info Ace! Thanks man!
Yup, we have some of those on the way...and we got a Super GameBoy the other day that looks unused! Zombies Ate My Neighboors, lol, great game! My ex-wife was OBSESSED with the Genesis version. About the SGB, obviously GBA wont work on it, but what about GBC? ...Or only the older grayscale games? (I have Bubble Ghost and Gargoyle's Quest on the way for GB as well!) Happy times!
*EDIT* By the way, my wife is convinced that your avatar is a human penis with a Luchador mask attached...She's probably RIGHT, but lord I hope not...LOL
EDIT: Some GBC-only games also had some neat easter-egg type screens when used on a regular Game Boy or a Super Game Boy, so they may still be worth plugging in for shits and giggles
EDIT: Added a quote then removed it because I took too long to post it. Figures.
I didn't care for Yoshi's Island...well, except that "Touch Fuzzy, Get Dizzy" stage when on mushrooms
GREAT GAME ,
I don't care for Mario games in general. SMB2 and Super Mario World were the only Mario games I liked.
im sure your going to laugh at me
but did you ever 100% beat the game 96*
Yes, some GBC games work. The gb-compatible ones (usually black cartridge) will work in a Super Gameboy (they will have a code in the bottom of the label that starts with DMG-). The GBC exclusive ones won't (generally in a clear cartridge) will not (their code starts w/ CGB-). The "CGB's" will still boot, but they almost always give you that message saying "Sorry bitch, this game only works on Gameboy Color!"
Yeah, Yoshi's Island rules, I think I like it better than SMW!
Oh yeah - the Earthworm Jim games.
Oh and - my avatar: it is an extreme closeup of that owl lamp from the classic "Ace Ebb" photo in Nintendo Power #1. Full pic attached for reference. Luchador... like a nacho libre mexican wrestler mask? Lol, that's hilarious! Where would I get one that small?! All my luchador masks are size 7-1/4 (US).
Pictured Below: Power Player "Ace" Ebb looking bad as hell...

You travel time and the entire Earth and help humanity progress its evolution. It touches various subjects of various religions and ways of life, it even has a secret way to add the Quintet (dev team) headquarters to a town so you can chat up with them in the game! This game is full with easter-eggs and fun mini-games. You won't get bored!
Anyhow guys, thanks for the opinions. Thanks Meru, though I'll never afford it..
Take care
A.R.
ha
And hey man..."Where would I get one that small"...Hmmmm... Maybe try a cashew shell and some Elmer's glue chief!
Oh snap! I dunno, a cashew shell might be a little roomy, I was thinking more along the lines of a mask fashioned from a pollen grain, or maybe some carbon nanotubes or buckyballs might fit a little better!
Oh uh... that's just a joke, ladies...
lol
ps. I don't like football so much but absolutely you have to play with International Superstar Soccer deluxe
