How is your Super Nintendo gaming going? Post whatever related to it, here.
SNES is one of my all-time favorite console. Depending on my mood, the SNES and NES duke it out for my #1 favorite console of all-time spot. Some of the best games ever made were on this system. And it has a comfortable, sturdy controller as well as very reliable hardware.
It's a shame that SNES collecting has becoming so expensive, lately, though. It used to be one of the consoles that was actually cheaper to collect for (not counting the always expensive JRPGs), which used to be a big plus for the system. Oh well, glad I'm got some of the best titles on the system, while they were still affordable.
I just recently downloaded Secret of Mana and Super Mario RPG on Wii Virtual Console. Soooo much hype surrounding those games. I really hope they can live up to the expectations.

I actually started up Final Fantasy III on the SNES on Monday and got about 2 hours in before I had to leave for the GF's Bday dinner. It's funny I only started playing it because I went to play Castlevania on the NES and it kept Blue Screening on me. But rather than load up SCIV or Dracula X I ended up grabbing FFIII instead.
Also, I LOVED Secret of Mana as a kid, but when I played it later I realized how cheap the game can be. So don't be put off by werewolves juggling you to death... they are right assholes. ha
Super Mario RPG got a ton of playtime and I believe there was period of a year where thats all me and my cousins were playing. I haven't played it in a long long time though... I should sit down with it again and see if its as good as I remember.

Mine is going crappy.... I finished Wild Guns with a friend fairly recently and we were going to tackle Pocky & Rocky 2 but I can't find my copy.... It makes me sad.... I found the box, but it had Hagane inside for some reason.... I'm really bad with organization, so it'll probably take months to find the damn thing and we don't want to move on to something else until we get through P&R2.... :( He might have to buy a copy if I can't find mine soon.... Also stuck on Drakkhen because that game sucks, but I feel compelled to beat it....

The sheer volume of amazing games for the SNES still boggles me to this day.
I have the controversial opinion that Secret of Evermore is superior to Secret of Mana. It doesn't get the attention of Mana, but it's just so much fun to play, and with great music. You've gotta try it if you've never played it.
I just got Lufia II off eBay... never played that one back in the day!

Secret of Evermore > Secret of Mana

Looks like its not so controversial, lol~!

The SNES has been getting a lot of love at the Overturf House. Lots of Super Mario AllStars, Turtles in Time, and Sunset Riders. It's such a good system.
I am bound and determined to finish the Lost Levels. That game is hard. I'll get that bitch though. I'll defeat that demon of a game.

One of the greatest achievement of my gaming "career" is beating that with no warps. It is tough-as-nails.
-
Oh Man! I love the Lost Levels! I currently have a save file on it on world 8-2 very difficult but awesome at the same time
-
One of my favorite SNES games is Top Gear. It has such a killer soundtrack. I don't often play Super Nintendo, but when I do I play Top Gear.
-
God...where do I even begin? SNES is my favorite console ever! It's the retro console that gets the most play out of all my retro consoles. I've been going through and completing a lot of my favorites lately since I'm close to getting everything I want for the system.
As far as the Secret question, I would probably have to say Secret of Mana = Secret of Evermore. However, I prefer Secret of Evermore to Secret of Mana. It's really just a preference thing. I think each game is amazing in it's own right. I just like the setting of Secret of Evermore a little better.
-
I'd like to start by saying that this... Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, is, possibly, my favorite game for the Super Nintendo.
Some of the finest moments I've had in SNES-Gaming formed from playing this game (Although Super Mario World, and Super James Pond, yes, I said it, could actually come close.) and I would go as far as to say it would be one of my favorite Mario games, ever.

It's a good one. I've been playing through it lately. I didn't own it until about a month ago. It's a really, really good game.
-
Ya the only way I beat that game was while babysitting my cousin, since he had it. I also didn't own it until sometime this year as well. Really good game, and I love the art style.
-
Super Metroid and Final Fantasy VI (aka III) are still among my favorite games of all-time.
The collection hasn't moved even a little since I snagged mine out of my mom's house, though. The cash just hasn't been there, and I've been chasing too many new releases from NIS, XSEED, and Atlus lately.
-
Mine is going pretty good I recently got Megaman X 1-3 from my friends brother.
-
I just finished playing through Megaman X2. Great game, though I still slightly prefer 1. It is my first time completing it, actually.
I did cheat to find some of the sub/heart tanks so I could Shoryuken through some boss fights at the end though.
My SNES is gonna be hooked up for a while, so I'll probably end up playing some more stuff soon.
-
To pan the flames of war between Secret of Evermore and Secret of Mana, I found that Secret of Evermore is a little more difficult since enemies and/or surroundings can lower your health quickly if you're not careful.
Super Nintendo, in general... Looking for the Lufia series, Soulblazer, Dragon View, and Terranigma. Loved playing them but I sadly never got around to acquiring them.
Goof Troop was so awesome to finish and play. Battle Toads was epic fun and frustratingly difficult at the same time.
-
I found Secret of Mana easier to level up your weapons. While Evermore is awesome, leveling the weapons each time you get them sucks. About a month ago I played them Mana then Evermore and evermore was overall more difficult. But the story and writing for Evermore is better!
I'm about to start playing Super Mario RPG. Hope it's as good as I remember!
-
I'm hoping to start gathering up SNES shmups soon. So hopefully my SNES gaming will start getting better soon.
-
Just played through some Super Star Wars: Return of the Jedi before leaving to my Grandma's for Thanksgiving. Didn't want to get into anything too deep, so I chose that.
Dang, I forgot how freaking hard these games were! They don't give you break on the first stage, even. They just throw you in a land-speeder, full-speed ahead, watch out for obstacles and pits, no tutorial at all or controls explanation. Just "Go now! Don't die!"
But man, that light-saber double-jump attack sure is sweet. It's like the Metroid Screw Attack, but it's a default attack!
-
Still playing Super Mario Kart and having concerns it might actually be wearing out LOL
-
I think I sold my Goof Troop and BlackThorne. Good memories with those games. ESPECIALLY Goof Troop. Thinking of building a bigger collection, sadly it's too expensive meeting my expectation of a complete copy.

Then lower your expectations. Why miss out on great games just because you want the flimsy SNES cardboard boxes?
If you really just HAVE TO HAVE it complete, you can get sturdier plastic boxes online now, with the artwork in them.

I'm starting to become picky like that too, so I'm going to have to re-purchase all of my loose copies, with the actual cardboard, not a bootleg plastic case.

Thank you for sharing your obsession, Oheao!
-
I wish I didnt already have cardboard boxes for almost all my SNES games (only missing Super Mario RPG now) cause I like the clamshell + artwork boxes more. They dont have the issue of being bent/creased when opened multiple times ... they are already protected from elements/accidents and they just look better.

I'll gladly switch situations with you =P.

If only I knew you or stumbled onto VGCollect earlier...
I looked for the best price I could find on eBay and Amazon for a complete copy of Super Mario RPG for my brother as a gift. I think I found and won a copy with the box, instruction manual, map, cartridge case, and game on a decently-priced bid. Turns out he only wanted the manual, maybe even the map, to consider a SNES game complete and didn't care for the others! I was upset, at first, after all the effort, time, and money I paid for that complete copy. Then I somewhat shrugged the feeling off and didn't care to retrieve the box from the bin. It was only recently that I found out that the important individual pieces are considered sellable!
Now, I'm regretting never saving that box as I could at least get some money back or could have helped you out.
-
Very, very good actually. I am currently playing Chrono Trigger for the first time and I can easily say it is a top 10 SNES game for me.
On the collecting side of things I have been a SNES magnet recently. I hunt most of my games in the wild (have to collect on a budget), and found Earthbound, Shadowrun and Breath of Fire II (CIB) on New Years Day and a hidden spot of mine. And just a month ago I found Ninja Gaiden Trilogy for $50. Not a steal, but deifinitely better than $100+ on Ebay ;)

Just finished Donkey Kong Country 3.
Now Im enjoying Kid Dracula with my Super Gameboy!
I`ve recently order Super Retro Advance (GBA to SNES Adapter), cant wait to play my GBA collection on my SNES.
