Earthbound
Chrono Trigger
FFVI
Super Metroid
Super Mario World
- Chrono Trigger
- Donkey Kong Country 2/3 (both good; can’t decide)
- Super Mario World/Yoshi’s Island (see above)
- MegaMan X
- Wario’s Woods
EDIT: Added MMX. Can’t believe I almost forgot it.
I do understand people who say KOF 2001 has better things than KOF 2000, but the music? I found KOF 2000’s music to be much, MUCH better than the boring shit they have in KOF 2001 (I can’t even recall a track on the top of my mind). See, I told you would have problems with Igniz (the last boss). Just make sure you have 2 fighters + 2 strikers…that way you will at least deal some damage in your moves (typical SNK boss damage handicap). 3 fighters + 1 striker or 4 fighters is just a no-no.
There IS a way around Original Zero, though (the sub-boss). If you perform low A (weak punch) repeatedly while at a safe distance, O.Zero will perform his “skirt wave” move. If you’re fast enough you can dash in and punish him.
K9999 is one of those characters who is probably better off doing his normals than anything else. I swear…jump A (or jump C) -> close C -> fwd + A = damn too much.
Duck Strong: Yeah, I actually played that SNES Marvel Super Heroes - War of the Gems. It’s pretty much the same thing as Mutant Apocalypse (Wolverine is virtually THE SAME CHARACTER he was in MA…straight down to the sprite), with some nifty additions like being able to choose between paths in certain stages and using the Infinity Gems to enhance certain abilities:
- Reality: Allows you to discover secret items.
- Time: Speeds up your character (huge plus for Hulk)
- Power: Powers up your character (huge plus for Spidey)
- Mind: Allows you to jump higher
- Space: Higher defense
- Soul: Gives you 2 energy bars
The characters also have special moves, and some characters even have air combos (you know, PPP in the air). There are also some known bosses like Doom, Blackheart, or Thanos.
I still have the ROM, so I play it every now and then.
Sounds nifty. Gambit in that?
Wouldn’t it make more sense if Space enhanced jumping, though?
Well, Space was the defense enhancer of the arcade MSH, so it makes a bit more sense.
No, Gambit isn’t in it. The cast is:
- Hulk (he has the Gamma Charge)
- Wolverine
- Captain America (he has the Shield Slash)
- Spider Man (he has the Web Ball)
- Iron Man (he has the Uni Beam…sorta)
My top 5 SNES games list:
- Chrono Trigger (the greatest game of all time)
- The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
- Tetris Attack
- Final Fantasy IV
- Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island
I actually played Radical Dreamers, the followup? to Trigger earlier today. I put a question mark on followup because there are some continuity differences with Chrono Cross. Anyway, it’s the oddball of the series because it’s a very short text-based RPG, meaning it’s like a ‘Choose-Your-Own-Adventure’ book in video game form. It’s a decent game if you don’t mind the reading and have 4 or 5 hours to kill. The soundtrack is also top notch. In fact, some of the music in RD returns in CC. Good shit.
Ha ha! Well I guess we have different views on the music in KOF '00 and KOF '01, Lantis. Well that’s understandable.
BTW, thanks for the tips. I’ll try those out on him. I thought Igniz was tough but he is nothing compared to Rugal in KOF '02. That mother is just wrong on so many levels. Even if you 1/3rd his life, that is no guarantee that you will win. It’s offical: SNK bosses are much tougher than Capcom bosses in fighting games. Actually, the AI in KOF '02 is more fierce than in any other KOF game I’ve played.
I’m still learning the characters in KOF games and the roster in each game is so freaking huge! So far my faves are: K9999, Kim, Kyo, and K. Actually Iori is also good. For some reaosn, I’m having a hard time pulling of Terry’s Power Wave in KOF '02.
Heh. I’ve always liked Mai, just 'cause she’s hot. Playstyle be hanged!
-Eartbound (I don’t care if you hate it early on, it’s worth playing all the way through at least once)
-Chrono Trigger
-Super Metroid
-Final Fantasy 6 (US)
-Link to the Past (Not really that much of a fan but I appreciate it’s greatness)
Anyways, playing WarioWare Twisted, which is awesome. That huge gyro is pretty sensitive, the games are fun, and the art is still hilarious. Plus you can play the entire thing with one hand, which I’m sure will be useful for some of the more creative members of this board.
Tried out Conker:L&R (never played the original) and it seems alright but not really that special. The dubbing is atrocious, it feels like I’m watching some french cartoon with english layered overtop. The humor and artstyle aren’t really my thing either, it seems more aimed at 13-15 year old males who derive joy out of slinging fake vomit at each other. In any case the graphics are amazing, probably beating out RE4 for the best stuff I’ve seen on console so far.
fuck you hit it pretty much dead on for me. i love super metroid, god i cant wait till i get my cube for prime.
anyways i beat katamari damacy today. it was odd, i was shocked to see it just end like that especially when i just started to enjoying sticking up buildings and whole islands. oh well, i guess ill play for better scores and find more presents even though the crown is top tier :karate:
fun game, id say worth the 20 and it had some catchy tunes too. a sequel is coming right? any word on whats in it?
I’m playing that game right now on SNES-Station! It is actually quite fun. There are five characters, each with different moves and attibutes. Hulk, Wolverine, Captain America, Spider Man, and Iron Man. They all have SF type moves. Hulk has a command grab! The only character that sucks is Captain America. He doesn’t do anything that someone else does better. Wolvie and Spidey are the best.
Uhhh, you’re welcome? Even though I never recommended anything to you. :xeye:
As for me, just the usual, 3S, NxC, PSOBB, Sakura Taisen Remake, yadda yadda yadda.
OK I just beat Marvel: War of the Gems. It was fun. Now to start on another SNES game. I’ve never heard of Wario Woods so maybe I’ll try that. Also, why so much love for Earthbound? I’ve never been able to get into that game even though I like RPG’s. It just seemed childish to me when I started playing it(?)

It’s kinda like Dr. Mario. There are monsters that have to be destroyed by placing them in a line with bombs. But what makes Wario Woods unique is that you don’t actually move them bombs as they fall. You play as Toad, trapped inside the play field, and have to use him to carry and kick the bombs into place. There’re even bosses!
Anyway, I’ve yammered on enough. But I’d like to throw in a second to PFH’s Super CastleVania 4, Kirby’s Super Star, and Kirby’s Dreamland 3.
Well, actually, my favorite KOF music is from KOF '96, but I think that’s a bit too old for you…
Rugal in KOF 2002…yeah, he’s somewhat of a bitch. I wouldn’t put him up to Igniz’ level, though… at least Rugal has some openings (like when he does that triple kick thing, he almost always follows it up with a Genocide Cutter, which you can punish). Also, Rugal seems to have a VERY hard time blocking slides (you know, like Chang’s dwnfwd + A, or Vanessa’s dwnfwd + B), you can just beat him with that (slide, he gets up, slide, repeat). Orochi Chris’ fireball also kinda locks Rugal down…and Chin’s “drunkard uppercut/dance” has so much autoguard he can laugh off Rugal’s Genocide Cutter and STILL hit him. May Lee’s counter also catches Rugal pretty much everytime you knock him down and he attempts the Genocide Cutter. The only thing I see going for Rugal is that he has the damage handicap UP THE ASS (really now, he takes almost NO damage, I usually beat him with time over). Turtling is your friend with Rugal…his main offense is just throwing Reppukens and the casual Kaiser Wave…I just usually sit there and wait for openings. When he performs a low B, he tries to follow up with a throw…throw him first, or command throw if your character has one.
But Igniz is a lot worse…everything you stick is usually countered by his uppercut thingy or that annoying geyser super. He has SOMEWHAT of a weakness for jumping CDs…
Well, Terry’s Power Wave WP version is the actual projectile, and the SP version is the Round Wave. Your character selection seems good…except I can’t stand Iori (have been a anti-Iori since KOF '95, even). Grapplers are kinda my thing (you will usually see Clark in my teams).
Oh yeah, I forgot to put a link to THIS in my last post. Probably old by now, but its always worth seeing.
Brief synopsis: Michael Jackson is the one true hero, mario is an evil bastard, and there’s inexplicable pink ninjas.
As for the top 5 SNES games, there’s no way I could choose. Well I guess FFVI is my favourite, but I’m not even gonna attempt to narrow down the rest…
i change my mind, THIS is my snes list as well haha
Been playing Phantom Brave. I can beat this hidden level 4000 boss but it uses up alot of items. And the level 6000 one is way too hard. Since if he hits you. You will die guaranteed.
Hey, I’m from the old-school. I downloaded a ton of KOF MIDI music off vgmusic.com. From KOF '94 to KOF '2001. If I could actually get my hands on a console version of KOF '96 or '98 I’d try those games out. :tup:
And thanks again for the tips. I’ll keep all that in mind when facing Rugal again in '02. Now I just need to find some KOF babes to get good with. At first I thought Whip would be tight but after playing with her, ehhh. Well sure that whip gives her some range but I really wasn’t impressed with her. Mai and Yuri will probably own her for free. Add Mature in on that ownage as well.
