The Super Nintendo was my first console, so it plays a very special place in my heart.

These are the games I owned:

- Battletoads & Double Dragon

- Batman Returns

- Contra III The Alien Wars

- Disney's Aladdin

- Double Dragon V The Shadow Falls

- F-Zero

- Gradius III

- Killer Instinct

- Imperium

- Mario Is Missing!

- Mega Man X

- Mega Man X2

- Mega Man X3

- Mortal Kombat

- Mortal Kombat II

- Mortal Kombat 3

- Prince Of Persia

- Robocop 3

- Robocop Versus Terminator

- Street Fighter II Turbo Hyper Fighting

- Super Castlevania IV

- Super Mario All-Stars

- Super Mario World

- The Adventure Of Batman & Robin

- Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3

It is a small list because back in the day I was a kid, so I had to rely on the grown ups to buy me games.

There was no way for me to know if a game was going to be good or bad, so I end up with games like Double Dragon V, and Mario Is Missing, that at the time I didn't even recognize they were bad because as a kid I did enjoy them. I only knew they were bad until I grew up.

I also played many other games my neighbors would let me borrow, but the ones I listed here are the ones I actually owned.

Of course nowadays I have access to the entire Super Nintendo catalog digitally, but it is nice to remember the ones I actually end up collecting back in the day. They all belong to my brother now, and he lives in a different State, so now I have no other remedy than to find conform on my SNES Classic as a smaller substitution.

Edit: I just remember that ActRaiser and Batman Forever was never mine. I asked my brother and he reminded me. What happens is that those were some of the games we had for a while, but they belonged to two different neighbors.

So I guess that also reminds me I can name the games I never had, but that I still played thoroughly because of neighbors and friends.

Games I never owned, but that I played back then:

- Acme Animation Factory

- ActRaiser

- ActRaiser 2

- Aero Fighters

- Alien 3

- Alien Vs. Predator

- Animaniacs

- Axelay

- Batman Forevet

- Battletoads In Battlemaniacs

- Biker Mice From Mars

- Brawl Brothers

- Bugs Bunny Rabbit Rampage

- Captain America And The Avengers

- Captain Commando

- Castlevania Dracula X

- Cool Spot

- Cybernator

- Daffy Duck The Marvin Missions

- Demon's Crest

- Disney's Bonkers

- Kirby Super Star

- Knights Of The Round

- Final Fight

- Final Fight 2

- Final Fight 3

- Goof Troop

- Indiana Jones' Greater Adventures

- International Superstar Soccer

- Magic Sword

- Mario's Time Machine

- Marvel Super Heroes War Of The Gems

- Mega Man Soccer

- Metal Warriors

- Mighty Morphin Power Rangers

- Mighty Morphin Power Rangers The Movie

- NBA Jam

- Raiden Trad

- Rival Turf!

- Street Fighter II The World Warrior

- Sunset Riders

- Super Double Dragon

- Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts

- Super Mario Kart

- Super Punch-Out!!

- Super Star Wars

- Super Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back

- Super Star Wars Return Of The Jedi

- Super Street Fighter II The New Challengers

- Taz-Mania

- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Turtles in Time

- Tetris Attack

- The Great Circus Mystery Starring Mickey & Minnie

- The King Of Dragons

- The Legend Of Zelda A Link To The Past

- The Magical Quest Starring Mickey Mouse

- The Peace Keepers

- Time Slip

- X-Men Mutant Apocalypse

- Yoshi's Island

The Super Nintendo was very popular among friends and neighbors during our childhood, so it was very easy for us to come by many games, otherwise we would never have a chance to play. Everyone was doing the same, so it was important to have your own games, that way you can get others too.

I still consider the Super Nintendo as the console I experienced more thoroughly. But there are many games I would have wanted to play back then, and that I never had the chance to do so.

Games I would have wanted to play, but I was never able to get:

- Arkanoid Doh It Again

- Art Of Fighting

- Darius Twin

- Demolition Man

- Fatal Fury King Of Fighters

- Fatal Fury 2

- Fatal Fury Special

- Final Fight Guy

- Frogger

- Ghoul Patrol

- Hagane The Final Conflict

- HyperZone

- International Superstar Soccer Deluxe

- Lethal Enforcers

- Lethal Weapon

- Looney Tunes B-Ball

- James Bond Jr.

- Kirby's Avalanche

- Kirby's Dream Land 3

- Mario Paint

- Mega Man 7

- Mighty Morphin Power Rangers The Fighting Edition

- Ms. Pac-Man

- NBA Jam Tournament Edition

- NHL '94

- Ninja Gaiden Trilogy

- Ninja Warriors

- No Escape

- Nosferatu

- Porky Pig's Haunted Holiday

My list is very small compared to what I had originally. I traded many games in to purchase games for newer systems, and I hate my former self for doing that. FunCo Land was much more fair than GameStop today, though...

Currently I have Super Mario World, Yoshi's Island, NHL 94 (I still like it better than the Genesis version.), Super Mario All Stars, Ken Griffey Jr. Baseball, Zelda: A Link to the Past, and Star Fox.

The rest were traded in during the 1990s, except Final Fantasy III. My family believes that one of my brothers ex girl friends stole it after I left for the Marine Corps. She admitted to being a kleptomaniac after they dated, and she said that if she was in your house, she probably stole something. That was my favorite game of all time during my teenage years.

stratogustav As for games I had, I am a bit fuzzy on my memory. I remember there was Final Fantasy II and III, Chrono Trigger, Gradius III, Super Batter Up, both Griffey games, NHL '94, '95, '96, and 97, Killer Instinct, Mario Kart, Street Fighter II and Turbo, Clay Fighter TE, Cool Spot, Donkey Kong Country, Doom, Earthworm Jim 2, Megaman X, NBA Jam TE, NHL Stanley Cup, Ogre Battle, Outlander, Paperboy 2, Populous, Revolution X, the HIGHLY UNDERRATED Secret of Evermore, Sim City, The Simpsons: Bart's Nighmare (Although I' think I rented that one a lot. I don't know if we ever owned that one.), Super Mario RPG, Super Metroid, Super Punch Out, TMNT IV: Turtles in Time, one of the WWF games, and Yoshi's Cookie.

There may or may not have been more. My memory is fuzzy on games like the Super Star Wars series. I know my brothers and I rented them all the time, but I can't remember if we eventually bought them from FunCo Land.

I didn't have a Super Nintendo myself, so I never got that many games for it, I had a friend who had it as his main console though so I still got to play a lot of Super Nintendo games growing up.

At the moment I can find physical copies of these games in my home:
Exhaust Heat
Illusion of Time
Jurassic Park
NHL 94
Starwing
The Smurfs
Unirally
World Cup Striker

I also have a Super Game Boy.

Phalanx

My list is fairly small as well, being a kid. Still thankful that my parents were willing to drop the cash for these in the 90's. My best friend and I traded back and forth a lot, so we tired to make sure to have different games. Wish we'd had a friend who was more into Sega to round out the experience.

Breath of Fire
Breath of Fire II
Earthbound
Final Fantasy III (NA)
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
Mario Paint
Secret of Mana
Super Maro All Stars
Suoer Mario Kart
Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
Super Mario World
Super Scope 6
Star Fox

I might be missing one or two, but that looks about right.

Now that you mention those. The SNES was notorious for having a lot of RPGs:

- Arcana

- Brain Lord

- Breath Of Fire

- Breath Of Fire II

- Chrono Trigger

- Earthbound

- Final Fantasy II

- Final Fantasy III

- Final Fantasy Mystic Quest

- Illusion Of Gaia

- Legend Of The Seven Stars

- Paladin's Quest

- Rise Of The Sinistrals

- Robotrek

- Search For Eden

- Secret Of Mama

- Soul Blazer

- The 7th Saga

- The Fortress Of Doom

- The March Of The Black Queen

Those are just 20, but there were more.

Interestingly enough neither the Saturn or the N64 followed that trend. Instead it was the PSOne that picked it up with the Tales series, the Star Ocean series, the Front Mission series, the Tactics Ogre series, the SaGa series, and many others that were already present for the Super Famicom.

The same thing happened with some series that were not even RPG like Mega Man X, Street Fighter, and even 2D Castlevania games. Although at least Castlevania had a Saturn port later on.

I think that makes a lot of sense considering the PSOne was made by Nintendo initially, and I imagine that's why the controller looks very similar.

I believe the Saturn lacked many RPGs because of Stolar's policy in the West, and the N64 because of the use of cartridges, that were more expensive to manufacture.

Games like Final Fantasy VII already came on many discs. Using cartridges would had cost a fortune for that genre on the N64, but the SNES didn't have that problem because of the use of artistic pixel art wasn't that demanding.

Yeah, the Super Nintendo was great for RPGs. I still play them today, so that's a testament to their longevity! I think the Nintendo knew it was lacking during the 64 years, and I'm pretty sure that the 64DD was intended to remedy that situation. To this day, I still love the concept. It is a shame that the R&D phase took too long to the point that it was obsolete when it finally hit the market in Japan.

As for the Super Nintendo, I have played a good majority of them, and I LOVED all of them. There was such a wide variety too. From Chrono Trigger to Populous to Secret of Mana to the Final Fantasy series. It was a great time in gaming. I only wish we got Seiken Densetsu 3. I know a fan translation exists, but the cart isn't cheap. I saw that they released it for the Switch in Japan, so here's to never ending hopes...

The Super Nintendo is home to some really outstanding titles. My friends and I spent a few good hours playing Super Metroid and Mega Man X last night. Playing on a large monitor through a subwoofer was really a treat.
