Filed Under: Family Fun    by: Jeremy Evans

Creating a list of the top 10 best SNES games ever is definitely something that will be subjective towards the creator’s personal views. Both the games that make the list and the order of the list can be debated. Here is a list of the top 10 best SNES games ever.

10 - Street Fighter II Turbo: Hyper Fighting - This game increased the speed and added special techniques to what was already one of the premiere fighting games of the time. Street Fighter II Turbo: Hyper Fighting restored more balance into the game play of a great game series.

9 - EarthBound - One of the best RPGs of the 1990s, EarthBound was considered one of the most original role-playing games at that time. It was praised for its storyline, humor, music, and characters. The game was criticized for its graphics and depictions of American culture, but overall was considered a success in both Japan and the United States.

8 - Final Fantasy II - This game was initially only released in Japan, but has since been ported to numerous other platforms. The success of the game was not only due to the success of the Final Fantasy series, but also due to the introduction of many of the features that would later become staples in the game series.

7 - Mega Max X - As the second of the Mega Man series, Mega Man X became an incredible success in its own right. It spawned over a dozen follow-up games and spin off games for multiple console platforms. The series and characters remain some of the most popular of all time.

6 - Chrono Trigger - Both commercially successful and lauded by reviewers, Chrono Trigger has sold millions of copies since its release. It is considered not only as one of the best games for the SNES, but one of the best games on any console of all time.

5 - Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars - Often referred to simply as the Super Mario RPG, this game was first released in 1996 to great reviews. The game setting was well received and garnered great praise from both fans and reviewers for the quality of the graphics and visual style.

4 - Super Mario World - This is often considered the best platform game for the SNES. The Super Mario series is the captain of platform games and Super Mario World is no exception. It was the best selling game for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System with over 20 million copies sold worldwide.

3 - Final Fantasy III - Probably the best game of arguably the best RPG series of all time, Final Fantasy. Final Fantasy III had great 2D graphics, an incredible soundtrack, and was a massive success in both Japan and the United states. The game appealed to both hardcore RPG players and newcomers to the RPGs.

2 - Super Metroid - A single-player, action-platform game, Super Metroid was the third installment in the Metroid series. Upon release, it was awarded with Game of the Month, Best Action Game of the Year, and as one of the Best Games of All Time by multiple reviewers.

1 - The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past - This game may not be number one on every list of the best SNES games ever, but for any fan of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System it absolutely must make the list. Both the Zelda series and the character of Link remain some of the most popular game icons in video game history. The game is considered to be one of the greatest video games, of any console, of all time.

That is it. That was one author’s submission for the top 10 best SNES games ever. The list, like all top 10, top 25, or top 100 lists is completely subjective to the preferences of the author. This is a pretty solid list though when you consider series popularity, game units sold, and overall game reviews. What is your list of the best SNES games?
