    I still have the Super Castlevania 4 music stuck in my head, and I haven't played that game since my parents gave away my SNES like eight years ago.

    Is that what you're supposed to call it? I've been saying 'Snez' for years!

    I hope they put the missing stage from Kirby's Dreamland back in, though.

    I think that oddly enough, "Snez" is pretty much a British thing.

    I have heard crazy folk from other places call it "Super Nez" "Super EN-EE-ESS" and "Sness"

    In the UK it's pretty much only called "Snez" though.

    This thread really makes me want to get out the old machine and see if I can still do Super Ghouls n Ghosts no death run. I'm guessing no.

    And I've always called it Super Nintendo but I pronounce SNES as "ES EN EE ES".

    No, there was an old chineese guy who fought with a staff... in a boxing competition. Fits well with the kick-boxing motherfucker and the masked asshole who actually spit in your face to blind you. What the fuck kind of boxing championship tournament is that?

    I never saw this old guy with a staff (I never beat the game, mind you). That's fucked up.

    If you win the first three circuts without losing a match (but you can save) you get the special circut. The first guy you can only knock out with super punches, the second guy is the old kung fu dude, there was also a korean (I think) dude with long flowing silver hair they he whipped at you and knocked you out.

    Then the final bosses were two brothers that were basically rednecks with unlimited KO punch.

    I had to game genie to beat those two.


    Also, a lot of talk will undoubtably go into FFVI, and earthbound, and mario rpg, and chrono trigger, but once again I'd like to voice my sheer appreciation for breath of fire. That was just a badass game with a lot going on. Not only could your main character turn into several type of superdragon, but all of the other team had special talents you had to use, including a guy that melded any two characters together into a supercharacter, which was fuckawesome when you melded the fish guy and the bull guy, making some fish-bull.

    Also, you had a hunter that could shoot deer and birds, that went up in a poof of smoke and turned into ham hocks, so you never had to buy potions.

    awesome game

    The Breath of Fire series, as a whole, is pretty much great. I actually got interested in it through a magazine (Gamepro I think), where they had a small guide included in one issue for part two. It showed all the transformations your characters could take when combined with the shaman things, and I became enchanted through that. My first actual play of the series was part 3 though, and still remains my favorite. Dragon gene system is tits.

    Yeah, at least in America it's supposed to be pronounced "Super NES." Nintendo Power came right out and said so at one point after someone mailed them asking if it was pronounced "Es En Ee Es" or "Snes." Or maybe that was Game Informer.

    YEAH, BIATCH!

    You can appreciate Gunpei Yokoi for Super Metroid, or perhaps even more for the Game Boy, but you still have to have a little something for the most badass of all light-guns!

    And now, some YouTubes of commercials and gameplay:

    (Hey, remember that person? At the end of it....)

    Battle Clash: First two stages
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfvVH1TCTbI&feature=related

    I had a Super Scope, the Super Scope 6 pack-in and Battle Clash. God, I loved that game so much. I was absolutely terrible at it as a child, but god I loved it.

    The Super Scope its self was bulky and absurd and took 6 AA batteries that it would eat voraciously (especially if you were a little kid who would often forget to turn it off), but I loved it too. I sold it all before getting a Nintendo 64. I love my N64 and I still have it, but I still think about that SUper Scope and crave the SNES like nothing else.

    Also, I owned Mario Paint and the mouse. I cry myself to sleep sometimes.

    Mario Paint was the shit. I still have the mouse and mousepad that came with the game. I remember how cool it was to use the mouse on the SNES. I use to play the hell out of that fly swatting game, more than the actual drawing/making music parts. I remember in Nintendo Power back in the day that people would submit pictures they made with Paint, and was blown away at how good some people were at it. I also remember someone made the zelda theme in Paint, and doing it myself, and it was damn cool

    I also remember way back trading in Phalanx for Shaq-Fu.

    Yeah, Shaq-Fu, I was young and retarded back then. Oh man did that game make no sense, and it sucked.

    I've pretty much always called it the Super Nintendo.


    I remember years and years ago Blockbuster had a "Gamer Pass" every summer. Basically for $30 you get a 30 day pass. You could walk in grab a game and show them your card and walk out. No late fees and you could return the game for another any time ya wanted to. Kinda like GameFly, but there was no mail involved. In one summer I played their entire SNES collection. Good times, good times.

    Did anyone mention Spider-man & X-men? Well I did now!

    Fuck Storm's underwater level. That shit was bogus!

    NHL 94 is quite simply the best hockey game ever, though I am a fan of NHL 08. And Dr. Mario is just a sweet puzzle game.
