![]() With the exception of Fortuna, there isn't really a level in that game I find myself disliking. SF1's levels are much more consistent in quality due to them all being on-rails, even if they don't reach the same heights as 64's best levels. These days whenever I replay SF64, I end up using a gameshark code to skip the stages I don't really care about and go straight to the levels I actually enjoy playing. This in itself wouldn't be a big problem, however the two routes in the game that offer the most points have one of those two aforementioned stages as the third mission, making me almost wanting to quit at that point on repeat playthroughs. Katina, Fichina and Sector Z all suffer from the latter issue. The unbareably dark lighting and snail's pace framerate absolutely kill the former for me while the latter amounts to flying around in circles and waiting for the boss's core to appear. Aquas and Katina are the worst offenders in this regard. The game suffers from having levels that bog down the pacing of the game, particularly those that exclusively take place in all-range mode. Current emulators and even the SD2SNES feature overclock options so this is practically a non-issue at this point imo.Īs for Star Fox 64, it is a great game but it's not without it's problems either. There were early 3D games on the Genesis and SNES that ran far worse such as Race Drivin. ![]() I really don't find the framerate as bad as people make it out to be. Idk about Mortal Kombat (though I do know that the SNES version of the first game is generally regarded as being the worst version), but I have to say I strongly disagree about Star Fox. On the other side of the coin, I would say that Mortal Kombat and Star Fox have not aged well. Still pissed I ended up having to sell my original cartridge a few years ago, but at least I got a $100 return on my investment. Original cartridges go for a pretty penny, but it's still one of my favorites. But it's nowhere near as difficult as Ghoul's N Ghosts, so that was nice. It's a wonderful platformer, with a beautiful art style, and I love Firebrand. On a serious note, I loved the hell out of Demon's Crest. You can probably still find 10 copies in any pawn shop that still sells SNES games for less than a buck. It's a rough game, probably not a good one for little egg's nephew.Īnd shit, I forgot about Shaq Fu. Then I found out I had to go back through the whole game. ![]() I did get through the first run on the SNES (actual SNES, not emulated) when I was a kid. I still love "trying" to play it from time to time, but I've never beaten it. Right, I mean it started out as an arcade game to suck quarters, and that followed with it to the SNES. It's frustratingly difficult, even with an emulator letting you use save states and a limited rewind system, and your reward for getting through once is being sent through again with the requirement to do an essentially perfect no-damage run in order to get the "true" ending. I think the only SNES game I've ever played that I would recommend against is Super Ghosts 'n' Ghouls. I would argue it holds up just as well as ever, but as a fan of the game it doesn't count for as much. I really liked Star Fox back in the day (StarWing, in the UK) and as thrilled to see it again on the SNES Classic Mini. I've heard the PS2 is pretty good in that regard, but I never got much use out of mine. Probably more than any other console I've ever had. There were quite a few crap games on SNES, mostly the licensed stuff pushed out to promote movies, but it just has so many good games on it. I also have a soft spot for Actraiser, Super Metroid, the Donkey Kong Country's. ![]() Chrono Trigger was fantastic, as was Secret of Mana. It's quite possibly the cutest game that I've ever played, but it still has extremely good level design and provides a decent challenge, unlike newer Yoshi games like Woolly World. Also Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. I would have to strongly suggest Final Fantasy III at least, II is good, but III was better. Pretty much everything I'd have to offer has already been mentioned. Star Fox 64 on the other hand still holds up pretty damn well. I mean it was neat at the time, but the rudimentary polygon graphics just looked like crap. I'm surprised you think star fox aged poorly, is this a widespread opinion? I'm trying to get reccomendations for my nephew, he has only played modern games.
