During our tour of retro games available for purchase on Switch, we checked out select NES, Game Boy and SEGA Genesis consoles, in addition to other newer console libraries. This time we’re games that were created on Nintendo’s 16-bit console, Super NES. While you will discover loads of great games for the console within the Nintendo Switch Online app, we’ll as a substitute take a have a look at those games that dare to exist within the wilds of the Switch eShop. Here we’ve got ten of our favourite games, plus five more games we’d like to see. Of course, in no particular order. Oh, and to cut off potential comments on the pass: it is not here because I feel like the input lag hurts an excessive amount of. A chilly classic, just not a really enjoyable game on Switch. On with the show!

Sparkster – Rocket Knight Adventures: Re-Sparked ($29.99)

A really rare case of a Konami franchise born on the SEGA platform was a game that Super NES owners could easily envy. While this game never appeared on a Nintendo console, a sequel version did. are the names of two different games, and the Super NES offering bearing this title is arguably the higher of the 2. It’s not pretty much as good as the unique game, however it’s a whole lot of fun.

Rock ‘n Roll Racing – Blizzard Arcade Collection ($19.99)

Before Blizzard became a household name for jokes about owning a phone, it made some excellent console games. It’s also a reasonably shaky fighting game, but we’re not here to discuss that. Instead, we’re talking about a particularly enjoyable isometric racing game that mixes exciting gameplay with a implausible licensed soundtrack. The game itself is definitely worth the price of admission to this collection, but with it you get another cool Super NES games.

Top Racer – Top Racer Collection ($19.99)

Better known by its title, it’s certainly one of the higher options within the racing genre on the Super NES. It balances the border between arcade and sim thoroughly, and the soundtrack is completely exceptional. You get all three games on this set and I might argue that the second game is equivalent to the primary. The third game… well, what about those first two games, eh?

Secret of Mana – Mana Collection ($39.99)

Square Enix seems to favor remakes where the Switch references Super NES classics, and while that does not technically go against my rules for these lists, I feel I’ll go along with the cleaner alternative. might be present in the superb next to the Game Boy original and the third game within the series for the Super NES. The emulation was handled by M2, so it really works the identical as before, bugs and all. is a really enjoyable motion RPG, despite its many rough edges. You can save Christmas on Rudolph’s orders! What more do you wish? A fluffy dragon you may ride on the world map in Mode 7? Well, you understand it too!

TMNT IV: Turtles Through Time – TMNT: The Cowabunga Collection ($39.99)

The 16-bit generation was an era of fights and jostling for the title of king amongst many pretenders. It looks almost pretty much as good because the arcade game, plays even higher, and uses the time travel trick in lots of fun ways. One of the best games on the Super NES and I’m glad we should purchase it on modern consoles for now.

Contra III: The Alien Wars – Contra Anniversary Collection ($19.99)

Lots of Konami again. He’s high on these lists, but he deserves it. Here’s the third game, and the primary that does not have any roots within the arcade. It goals for a more futuristic setting and feel, and in true Konami style, it pushes the hardware in a whole lot of fun ways. Sure, these generic Mode 7 levels don’t play in addition to you’d like, but there is no denying the style that pervades throughout the sport.

Super Castlevania IV – Castlevania Anniversary Collection ($19.99)

(*5*)

For some, that is the best motion-based entry within the series. I’m unsure I fully agree with this, however it’s a extremely great game. The graphics, sound effects and music create a tremendous atmosphere, and Simon’s powerful whip skills make you are feeling like a real pro. Many great motion games would come to the Super NES, but few are as impressive as this one. A really memorable game and for those who’re searching for a rather fairer entry point into the series, that is certainly one of the higher decisions.

Zombies Ate My Neighbors – Zombies Ate My Neighbors and Ghoul Patrol ($14.99)

OK, Konami published it once, however it’s actually a Lucasarts title. And it’s truly unique. A top-down, staged motion game with tons of crazy enemies, locations and tools to find and use, offering an experience you will not find anywhere else on console. Play alone or gather a friend, especially for those who want to really beat this difficult game.

Aladdin – Classic Disney Collection ($29.49)

There is a few debate as to which 16-bit version of the console is best, however the advantage of this version is that it doesn’t force you to select. You’re each here, rejoice. Since this can be a Super NES list, we’re talking about this version of the sport. Directed by Shinji Mikami, who later moved on to zombie nonsense, this version doesn’t live up to the Genesis game’s authentic presentation, however it makes up for it with some great Capcom platforming motion. A little bit of a breezy affair, but sometimes it is not that bad.

Bobble/Bust-A-Move Puzzle (16-bit Console Version) ($7.99)

Let’s squeeze in a puzzle game here to wrap things up. Call it Bust-A-Move, call it Puzzle Bobble, either way you are in for time. Shoot bubbles, match matches and try to clear the sphere before you get crushed. The charming presentation and devilish setting make it inconceivable to tear yourself away from. Sure, the sequels have lots more to offer, but you may have plenty of excellent times with this version on its own.

And… 5 Super NES games we’d like to see on Switch

Chrono trigger

I mean, in fact. One of the best games on the console, considered by many to be the best game in its genre. It’s sort of silly that this is not on Switch, even when there are probably good reasons for it. Well, that is a wish list. I do not care in regards to the reasons! I would like results! Bring me photos of Chrono! Hey, put me on Switch!

SimCity

The topic of this election will henceforth be licensing issues, although I even have to consider that that is somewhat possible. To make this occur, we just need Electronic Arts and Nintendo to work together, and it is not like it hasn’t happened before. Why don’t we’ve got any on Switch? Mysterious things. Give me this one and I’ll forget the way you parked the IP within the river, EA. For some time, anyway.

Terranigma

The one which North American Super NES owners missed. The Super NES release of Quintet was excellent and I might love to see all of them available for purchase again. If I had to select just one, it could be this one. A really enjoyable motion RPG with a story you are sure to enjoy, wrapped in a wonderful package that in some ways matches what Square was doing on console. I hope at some point this escapes the vault it’s currently trapped in, even when that place is not on Switch.

UN Squadron

There’s something about it that draws the eye of people that don’t often like shooters. Maybe it’s a mode derived from manga/anime. Perhaps it is the forbearance the life bar provides. Cool jets? Maybe it’s those cool jets. Either way, it could be great to see this game revived. This is tied to licensing, which probably makes things harder, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed that Capcom will make it occur someday.

Spider-Man and Venom: Maximum Carnage

The creator’s bias is fully visible here, wow. ? This shaky fighting game based on the comic book event by which Spider-Man defeats Carnage with the literal power of friendship? Yes. I like this game. It’s silly and sort of flawed, and I adore it. I would like it, even when I even have to endure packing or something. Download Green Jelly on your phone, put Marvel on the conference call, find whoever bought the LJN/Acclaim shell and take care of it.

And that is the list, friends. Are there any Super NES games you like on Switch? Would you like to see something? Have your say within the comments and tell us what you think that! It’s at all times interesting to hear other people’s opinions on this topic. As at all times, thanks for reading!
