Rating:  - One of the best systems in history, to say the least
Continuing on the success of the classic NES, Nintendo decided to make a 16-bit system that would turn into the other 16-bit system's (Sega Genesis) biggest rival. The name of that system is the Super Nintendo.The Super Nintendo had everything going for it back in the good old days. The system was more powerful than the Sega Genesis and it was capable of producing the best graphics ever at the time, great sound, music, and the list goes on. The controllers are designed very well, with four main buttons instead of just two (like the NES), two extra buttons on top for more precision in certain games, and a directional pad. Of course it also has a Start and Select button. But what really makes a system a bad or good one, is its games. The Super Nintendo has a spectacular library of games that all breeds of video game fans can enjoy to the fullest. It has great racing titles (Super Mario Kart, F-Zero, Biker Mice From Mars, etc.), arguably the greatest collection ever of RPGs (Legend of Zelda, Breath of Fire series, Super Mario RPG, Final Fantasy series, etc.), hard-hitting fighting titles (Street Fighter II and Turbo, World Heroes series, Mortal Kombat series, etc.), puzzle games to challenge the mind (the Tetris series among others), some of the most classic platformers of all time, or action/adventure games (Super Metroid, Super Mario World, Yoshi's Island, Donkey Kong Contry series, etc.), and of course, great sports games (NBA Jam series, Side Pocket, and TONS of baseball, football, hockey, basketball, and fishing games). The games I listed are just a few of what I think are some of the best ones available, but there are literally hundreds of other great games that were made. I don't have a single complaint about the Super Nintendo. If you want to own one of the best, if not THE best video game system of all time, do yourself a favor and purchase the Super Nintendo while you still can!
Rating: - The system that started it all
Nintendo had a of success with its 8-bit system, the Nintendo, but Sega decided to release the 16-bit Genesis system that blew away any other system. So Nintendo decided to make the Super Nintendo to compete with it. It was a great success.Up until the release of the PS1 in 1996, the Super Nintendo was the top system on the market. With the biggest variety of games the SNES was well ahead of its competition. The SNES has great sound, graphics and great games. Nintendo also made a great controller for the Super Nintendo. Just like the NES it has a D-Pad to move around with, A, B, X, and Y buttons to use for certain controls in different games, and a start and select button used to start pause the game, but they added the L and R buttons on the top of the controller and made the controller more rounded and much more comfortable. The games for the Super Nintendo are great. Super Mario World and Donkey Kong Country top the lists as Nintendo's best games ever made, but there are other great games too. There are great RPG games (including Final Fantasy III and The Legend of Zelda), great adventure games (Super Mario World, Yoshi's Island, Super Mario All-Stars, the Donkey Kong series, and Earthbound), great racing titles (Super Mario Kart and F-Zero) and great fighting games (Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter). If you own a SNES or are interested in getting one, you should get some of the games I listed above, which are some of the best SNES games of all time, but there are hundreds of other games available. The SNES has provided years of fun and entertainment for me and has never let me down. I recommend that you check out one of the best systems of all time. Go out and buy a Super Nintendo and some great games while they are still available!
Rating: - Bar none, its one of the best systems ever made
After Sega unleashed the 16-bit Genesis, Nintendo was at a crossroads because their classic 8-bit Nintendo system was dying out. So Nintendo makes their own 16-bit system, but used a much better graphics and sound chip than the Genesis had, and remained the top system until Sony's Playstation came out in 1996. What made the Super NES kick so much was its outstanding library of games. The first party titles were out of this world, not to mention the system also had some of the best RPG's to date on any system. All in all, if you can find a Super NES anywhere, I highly recommend buying one, its a piece of video game history, and Nintendo has not been able to make a better system yet. Below is a list of games that are also recommended to get along with the system for the best playing experience:Super Metroid
Super Mario World
Yoshi's Island
Super Mario Kart
Final Fantasy 3
Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
Contra 3
Super Mario All-Stars
Street Fighter 2 Turbo
Tetris Attack
Donkey Kong Country
Earthbound
Chronotrigger
Super Mario RPG
