Or at least it's got a rep, and I'd check it out, if I was like some of you people and had time to do things like that
(NB I did get to the second pendant in Link To The Past GBA version, yesterday during pauses in the football games)

Your soldiers consist of knights, wizards, healers, bird men, gladiators, beast men, dragons, undead creatures, giants, angels, demons, and more[!!!?!?!?] . You put together units of five and send them across a huge map to liberate towns and combat enemies.

contender for best thing that happened to me this weekend:
i was walking down the street in milwaukee, and what do i see but a PILE OF SNES GAMES on the curb. not terrible games either! i grabbed donkey kong country (never played it before) and f-zero.
when i was walking away, a middle-aged dude with a white mustache and biker jacket was walking the other way, and he says, "oh, i put those there, you can have them." !!!
― Jordan, Monday, 7 April 2008 14:41 (sixteen years ago) link
should i have taken donkey kong 3 too?
the donkey kong country games are amazing. almost mario-level. yes you shoulda if it's dkc3 you're talking about.
― s1ocki, Monday, 7 April 2008 16:39 (sixteen years ago) link
i don't know why i wasn't more greedy. like i was leaving some for the next nerdy twenty-something who walked by.
i started playing dkc1 last night and it is indeed some great shit.

can't believe a snes game exists that is named after not one but TWO queen songs! must play!
― r1o natsume, Monday, 7 April 2008 17:17 (sixteen years ago) link
ogre battle is really hard. tactics ogre, fft, and vagrant story (the creator Yasumi Matsunoare's other games) are all better.

Imagine my surprise years later when I figured this out! (Became a Queen fan later) Man, I love Queen II.
That game was kinda mindblowing to appear on the SNES at the time, since there weren't that many strategy titles on consoles in general, AND this game didn't exactly have a huge print run. Also the music in the game is fantastic. But the game itself is ridiculously hard as balls, unforgiving and each map takes ages to play. I tried to get through this game probably half a dozen times, I wanted so much to be able to love it.

haha okay so friends and i were walking back from the bar last week and someone had left a BIG SCREEN TEEVEE on the curb. so we hauled it back to my friend's place and set it up in his backyard and while the picture is pretty poor it still works and so we hooked up an SNES to it.
so can u guyz recommend to me some awesome SNES games that use the multitap? so far we've got Secret of Mana and Super Bomberman 2 and Peace Keepers.

can anyone recommend a decent usb or bluetooth snes controller that'll work on a mac?
― amit, Sunday, 15 November 2009 16:35 (fourteen years ago) link
I wish I could. Whatever you do, don't impulse buy a $19.99 controller at Wal-Mart or something. I did that TWICE, and both times the controllers had horrible problems with lag (making any game based on reflexes - AKA 90% of the SNES catalog - worthless) and the analog stick.
The fact that you're making an effort to research this a little before purchasing probably means you'll fare better than I did, though!

I downloaded a snes emulator yesterday. It has been too long since I've relived old games. Youtube has rekindled my childhood. Mostly I watch rom hack videos. Speaking of which, these two videos I found today are enlightening:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vh0Qb0My6fQhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8z-gD1vmmE
I would like to have something like that Cory, but maybe just a SNES usb controller so I don't have to buy games. If I did want to buy games I would like to try one of those new spangled consoles that combines old systems like Retro Freak.
― The Once-ler, Tuesday, 7 July 2015 19:58 (eight years ago) link
Oh man. I'm going to have to get a USB controller and an emulator. SNES was the last console I really owned but I loved it. Super Metroid, DKC, Mario Kart, Yoshis Island - they were my childhood

The guy who developed the Analogue NT Mini (currently the $500 holy grail of 8-bit gaming) is providing jailbreak support for every 8 bit and prior system. He plans on making a 16 bit console - I'm waiting on that. I love early gaming enough to pay a premium price.
Lately I'm playing the major Zelda game I missed, Majora's Mask, using Dolphin emulator, HD texture pack, and a wireless xbox360 controller (lol). This last week I also played Mario 64 for the first time in 20 years. I love emulating because of the up-scaling and widescreen code support etc..
However, NES and SNES don't need any upscaling. It's great of Nintendo to shell out new, old consoles; however it's kinda mean of them to stop production on the NES Classic.
