Thread 11904282

Do we all agree that these are the most historically important Super Nintendo games? If not then what is?

>>11904282 (OP)
By American standards

>Top Gear 2
>Disney's Aladdin
????

Get rid of that slop for Super Castlevania and Starfox and you got yourself a list

didnt even know there was a top gear 2. i only remember top gear 3000

>>11904282 (OP)
All SNES games are equally historically important.
Final Score: 0.00

>>11904297
2 is the best

>>11904293
>Based on ratings from Emuparadise
Lol
It's all 3rd worlders
I think South America loves Top Gear 2 for some reason

>memefox
>sleeping on aladdin, one of the best platformers on the console
get rid of top meme and memetroid too and put terranigma and shadowrun instead

>>11904282 (OP)
These lists have been regurgitated a million times over. This one is based on ratings from an emulation site though, so there are a couple weird picks there.
I think realistically, you need Dragon Quest V there, as well as Street Fighter II. Slightly arguable, but it was really important to the success of SNES.
If not these, then SMRPG.
>>11904293
I don't think either was historically important. Castlevania 4 barely changed course of gaming history and the 8 direction whip was immediately abandoned. Starfox does have some claim to fame, but… I'd say it's more like top 20, a tech feat that didn't influence that many games, with low poly 3D that got old real quick.
DKC at least hugely popularized prerendered 3D and was basically the game that helped SNES take a lead over Genesis in the West.

This list is ass!

Okay Disneymanchild

This is such baby shit.

>and the 8 direction whip was immediately abandoned.
Not entirely, the idea was partially revisited by Bloodlines and X68000. But Mitsuru Yaida, the main programmer of Castlevania IV, left Konami shortly after IV.

nope

Most of the games are right, but it’s not quite the right order imo. They’re all good games. Earthbound seems high. DKC2 seems a little low, with DKC1 being high. Mega Man X seems too high. Super Metroid seems a little low, I mean its the premier game of its genre, I’d put it in the top 3. I like Top Gear but it’s not in the league of the others here, at least not as high as it is. Super Mario All Stars is hard to get a feel for. I played them on NES and I still play them on NES if I play them. I don’t really like the remakes, but that could just be me. I’d think Starfox belongs on here somewhere on the lower half, amazing console 3d rail shooter for the time. I’d also put some shmups on there but maybe thats just personal taste. Maybe bump off Aladdin for Castlevania 4. Street Fighter’s not my thing but it’s crazy it’s not on here.

I wouldn’t put Mario World at number 1. It’s a good game but SMB3 is better so bu some logic All-Stars belongs at number 1, but I like the NES version better, so that’s all fucked up.

>Do we all agree
No

You don't even need to associate an image with those four words or put any other words after it, the answer will already be no. There will never be anything that this entire board agrees on, no matter what it is.

That is especially true for anything based on personal preference like ranking games, nobody anywhere on the entire planet is going to all agree on that.

It's stuff like this that makes me ashamed of being a native English speaker.

>earthbound
no one has actually played that crap

I am no one

>>11904282 (OP)
Top Gear 2 and Aladdin for SNES?
Yea, I don't know about those two.
Where's Super Ghouls and Ghosts and Super Castlevania IV?

>>11905068
Posted the brown.

>>11905178
Even the creators of South Park, the most normie show ever, have played Earthbound. Stop being a contrarian.

>>11904282 (OP)
Yeah when I think of all-time classic games I think of Top Gear 2

The fact that so many posters are shocked at the inclusion of Top Gear 2 shows how far removed modern "retro gaming" has become from the reality of the time period in question and how tastes have narrowed down to a couple of select genres.

Here is from an SNES top 10 of a magazine from back in the day. Micro Machines was in 5th position, above some of your "classics" like Star Fox.

If you're seriously shocked that people played something that isn't a sidescroller or an RPG you don't know shit about video games

>>11904391
Study Cagematch and get back to me.

>>11906093
Top Gear 2 isn't the gem you think it is.

>>11906093
>Some journos' shitty headcanon from 1990s is objective truth
Realistically, there's not much reason to go back to Top Gear 2 today. From "historical interest" perspective, it's nowhere near as important as Gran Turismo, let alone top SNES games like SMW and Super Metroid.

>>11906628
The OP's pic was never about "historial interest".

>>11906631
See OP

The only standard that matters.

OP (You) are a faggot trying to create a relation where there is none.

>Mario games where Mario mario'd some more is somehow important
Kek. Lmao even.

>2. Earthbound
Undertale fags PLEASE fuck off... you haven't even played Earthbound.

I love earthbound and could never get into undertale/deltarune
crazy how that happens

>>11906904
Not really. Earthbound's scenario and writing were done by an adult who lived a real life. Undertale's were done by a teenager who played video games.

>>11904282 (OP)
What does historically important mean?

>>11906904
Despite selling itself as inspired by earthbound memetale is nothing like earthbound

>>11904282 (OP)
>Earthbound
omg can these hipsters fuck off already. that's the most basic and simple jrpg without any standout mechanics. hell even nes rpgs are far more advanced. might as well "play" a vn at that point.

>>11904282 (OP)
Harvest Moon. Later games in the series were way better (until they weren't) but OP said "historically important" so just look at its legacy. Stardew is literally the highest rated game on Steam now. Harvest Moon created an entire genre of games which continues to this day, which not many other snes titles can say. Also some of the games in the series are just so dang comfy.

>>11906093
Original Top Gear was better than 2

>>11904282 (OP)
oh boy another bait thread

>>11907057
it is still easily the pre-eminent piece of videogame art

>>11904282 (OP)
I see it, but definitely not Aladdin and Top Gear 2

>>11905021
Ur gay. GG no re.

>>11907735
Damn I loved this game as a kid. I don't think I could stand it now. Only being able to pick up 1 thing at a time with a really short day window on top of it is pure cancer. And of course the 3x3 seed spread where the middle plant must always die.

Crazy how many years it took for them to fuck off with ultra limited inventory and one item at a time. By the time they allowed some utility, they were already getting destroyed by the competition.
