No FF6? I'm taking it you either didn't like the game or just didn't play it. :xAlso Dual Orb 2 was good and I love Dragon Quest/Warrior games.Seiken Densetsu 3 was also very good.Also you have Killer Instinct <3

You are right about the final fantasy 6, i put that as 3... Sorry I own the american cartage which says final fantasy 3 on it so i get it mix up alot. The REAL final fantasy 3 is for nes not snes, so you got me there.I must see this dual orb and Seiken Densetsu, These Japanese games i am not very familiar with, thanks for pointing them to me. I didnt know dragon quest was on snes either, probably cause it was japanese only (>< ). My first dragon quest game was Dragon Quest 3 on gbc, god i love that game. Thanks for your comment.

OH OH OH no wonder.All the other games I mentioned have English translation patches but if you're not into the whole emulation thing then you might as well forget it unless you like reading japanese(or can understand it for that matter). Although then again you're on a emulation site so idk.Great games though!Seiken Densetsu 3 is also very fun because of the character selections, which equal different story routes and plots as well as the classes, and then there is the fact of Co-Op.I'd also like to take the time to suggest Tales of Phantasia. Because Seriously SNES verison > GBA version imo.Anyway, thanks!

It isnt a copy and paste, i went through my snes rom collection (100% of which i downloaded from romulation itself, HeHe) and just put the games that i knew was good on it. Which is probably why this list is missing stuff like F-zero and FF6 that i had to fix. And i didnt download any of the japanese games (i dont like playing something i do not understand). So i am missing alot of great japanese games.which reminds me, Tell me some great jap games that I am missing, Improve this list!

I didnt get into the Castlevania series until SotN. I remember playing one of them but, it was super hard for me. You have the same moves and power throughout the whole game, but the monsters get stronger.
Well Castlevania is a great series, but i dont know which ones are good on the snes, so tell me which ones should be on this list please :D.

Well finding a english version of the game is super easy thanks to this site, they have the roms in packs with the english text hacked into it. So its no problem, the problem is i dont know the japanese game, so I do not download it. I am kinda using you guys to find more good games to get (sorry :D) I download seiken btw, thanks for the heads up on it.I know what you mean about playing the original on snes. I had a similar experience: I have the original Lunar Silver on ps1. I love that game, it was so epic. Then when i heard it came out for gba, i actually went out and brought that too. OMG it was so sad. The gba version is like a neutered version of the ps1 version. It made an epic rpg game into a standard every rpg. It was so heartbreaking for me.
