Just bought an SNES, it comes with one controller, will probably buy another controller. But the point is, what games do you remember fondly and suggest I get? Other than games like Earthbound, Super Metroid, Mario, etc... I'm talking hidden gems here. Danke.
hmm....hidden gems I don't know about. Turtles in Time was great, though. and I actually liked that Mickey Mouse's Magical Adventure or whatever it was where you had a cork gun and a toy horse. Oh, get a Super Scope and play Yoshi's Safari.
I really enjoyed Joe & Mac as a kid. Dunno if it'd hold up now. Haven't played it in over 10 years. The Super Nintendo had a lot of great games, but people know about most of them even if they never owned them at the time they were released. Unless you're looking at games that never made it out of japan to my knowledge, I don't think I'd consider anything a hidden gem. Even then, they probably got a remake on another platform and ceased to be hidden. If it's on the SNES and it's a gem, people tend to know about it.
I highly recommend Blackthorne. This actually got re-released for PC for other people interested. These aren't exactly the obscure titles you requested but I would consider these must-haves: Chrono Trigger Harvest Moon Zombies Ate My Neighbours Breath of Fire Starfox Super Mario RPG F-Zero Secret of Mana
Shadowrun Biker Mice from Mars (Racing game) Mega Man X, 2, 3 Lion King Aladdin Donkey Kong Country 1, 2, 3 Ogre Battle Eartworm Jim 1, 2 Super Mario All-Stars Super Punch Out Arkanoid Super Mario Kart Yoshi's Island I played most of these as a kid. Good times. Good times.
EARTHBOUND. it's one of those special games, man. like, it has an art style and tone that have never been duplicated and a battle system that so beautifully blends action and turn-based. and the characters! ahhhhhhhh. if you ever find it, check it out.
Hehe, oh I know, I'd absolutely love to own it. Sadly it's terribly expensive so I'd have to save up. (200 - 500, depending)
