#SCARY SUPER MARIO WORLD ROM SERIES#
The Adventures of Batman & Robinīatman: The Animated Series stands up as one of the greatest cartoons of all time, and the SNES game based on the show is the rare ‘90s licensed game to do its source material justice. Certainly, no one would object to Nintendo resurrecting the series, or Rockstar including an homage to it in the next GTA.

Uniracersis just a relatively simple, family-friendly, incredibly fun game about racing unicycles and pulling off tricks with them. There are no open worlds, mob bosses, or murders. Uniracers has pretty much nothing to do with GTA. If you’ve never heard of DMA Design, they were a small Scottish developer that went on to develop a little series known as Grand Theft Auto.

Publisher Namco even used many of Weaponlord’s ideas in its Soul Edge and Soulcalibur games. Still, the game’s reputation has improved quite a bit in recent years. And which characters you killed during the story mode actually had an impact on the ending.ĭespite these innovations, reviews were largely negative at the time of release.

While Weaponlord featured only a few characters, they each had tons of special moves and “death combos” that put many of Mortal Kombat’s fatalities to shame. While accessible fighting games like Mortal Kombatand Street Fighterruled the roost in the mid-’90s, the team at Visual Concepts set out to create an extremely deep fighter focused on weapon combat, countering, and parrying. Weaponlord is the definitive example of a game ahead of its time. If you’ve ever wanted to see where some very early Resident Evil ideas got their start, this is the game to check out. Sadly, there are no zombies or gore, but there are some surprisingly strong survival elements, like having to defeat enemies with objects in the level rather than facing them head-on. This was a time period when Capcom could do no wrong, and the company put Shinji Mikami, who would later go on to direct much of the Resident Evil series, in charge of Goof Troop. Goof Troop was a fairly forgettable Disney cartoon starring Mickey Mouse’s talking dog pal, but at least it gave us a surprisingly good Super Nintendo game. Regardless of which version you play, this is a game that all strategy and RPG fans need to experience at least once. There’s also a quality PlayStation port that’s slightly cheaper, but still one of the higher priced games on that system. The SNES version is one of the rarer titles on the console, but it’s since been re-released on the Wii Virtual Console. And what a revolution it is, as you spend dozens of hours recruiting and building an army of soldiers, witches, and even griffins in a strategy game that still feels incredibly deep more than 20 years later. The very first game in the series appeared on the SNES and began with a tarot reading that determined your fitness for leading a revolution against an evil empire. Ogre Battle is possibly the greatest unfinished saga in gaming. Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen The art, which was created by Fist of the North Star artist Tetsuo Hara, almost made the game feel like a Street Fighter II wrestling game, which is not a bad thing at all. Saturday Night Slam Masters was one of those games, playing more like a traditional fighter that ends with pinning your opponent than a wrestling game. Saturday Night Slam MastersĢ0 Underrated 3DS Games By Chris Freiberg These are the 25 most underrated games on the SNES: 25. There’s a lot more to the SNES library than just Mario, Samus, and Link, and more than two decades later, many of these games are still criminally overlooked. And that’s not even counting games made by outside studios, such as Capcom and Konami. It’s not difficult to see why: Super Mario World, Super Metroid, and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past are the very best games in their respective series. From third-party titles to Nintendo’s own franchises, this was an era-from 1990 to 1996-that showcased the platform’s total dominance over the industry, even as the Sega Genesis proved to be a strong competitor-and we all know who won that console arms race in the end. Much of the console’s success has to do with its roster of games, of course. Even though the Big N has released five more consoles since the Super Nintendo, many Nintendo fans would say the SNES is still the best console that the House of Mario has ever released.
