Enjoyed seeing everyone responses in the PS1 thread, as well as throwing around some nostalgia. As I stated in the previous, I was going to be posing this question for each console over time. This time, it's Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Also known as Super NES, SNES, and of course Super Famicom.

Here's my top 20 SNES Titles:
1.Final Fantasy III – Formally known as FF6, this title is easily my favorite FF of all time. The cast was amazing, the customization was great, the leveling and unique skills were well thought out, and the story was a good one to boot.
2.Final Fantasy II – Probably one of my first ever JRPGs that made me realize how great JRPGs were. It changed how I viewed story telling in video games and had a fantastic cast including the wonderful Palom and Porom.
3.Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past – Taking the genre of action adventure to a whole new level, ALTTP definitely set the bar high after its release. Huge world to explore, amazing visuals, fun items/weapons, and great dungeons.
4.Chrono Trigger - The most visually stunning titles of the SNES era, as well as one of the best gameplay you’ll find in JRPG history. This title rivals most Final Fantasy titles for me. Which makes sense because it’s from Squaresoft.
5.Secret of Mana – It’s hard to choose between Zelda and SoM for me personally. I loved SoM because of its combat system and gameplay. While it didn’t have the depth of Zelda, it was still a classic in my book.
6.Super Mario World – Easily my favorite Mario titles of all time. I sunk so many hours into mastering this title. I especially loved YOSHI!
7.Super Mario Kart – Ah the title that started a legacy. SMK was a great kart style racing game that also had a fun versus mode that my family/friends enjoyed for years.
8.Mega Man X – One of my favorite Mega Man titles of all time. Not only did you gain abilities as you went along, but you also built Mega Man from a weak blue guy into a decked out armored wrecker. Can’t tell you how many times I played through this one.
9.F-Zero – Easily one of my first ever racing titles that I ever got caught up in. Taking racing to the future, as well as rival competition. It was also one of the first racing games I ever seen that had life bars! Oh how adrenalin pumping it was to go through those tight corners while low on health. Waiting to hit a wall and go BOOM!
10.Zombies Ate My Neighbors – The first ever true zombie invasion game I remember playing. As well as it struck a chord for the zombie fanatic in me. The gameplay was wonderful, the weapon selection was tight, and the exploration made it a classic.
11.Super Mario RPG – Who can forget that wonderful opening scene where Mario mimics Bowser? Or having a turn based system in a Mario title? SMRPG was a smash hit with me, and is singly the reason why I can’t wait for the 3DS’s Paper Mario Sticker Star.
12.Donkey Kong Country – Now this is the Donkey Kong I grew to know and love. A fun, visually amazing, and action filled 2D platformer that had banana collecting fever about it.
13.Super Star Wars – Wait, a Star Wars game that is good? Why yes! This great title brought the many faces of Star Wars into a fantastic 2D platformer. Though I remember how frustrated I got trying to beat the huge midget filled tank.
14.Super Castlevania – I have a soft spot in my heart for Castlevania. While I left it in the PS era, Super Castlevania was one of the first that got me hooked into this 2D platformer/slasher series.
15.TMNT: Turtles In Time – Classic arcade style beat’em up that me and my brothers enjoyed playing quite a bit.
16.Super Metroid – Metroid on NES was great, but Super Metroid was insanely deep and well designed. While I spent hours searching for the next upgrade to get to the next area and spent plenty of time writing down maps, it was still amazing.
17.Street Fighter II – I can’t tell you how often I got together with my friends and had some matches on Street Fighter II. It was the original fighter I got into, and still remains one of the only fighters I ever cared to play.
18.Desert Strike – This game was very addicting. You control a helicopter that is sent on missions to save people, destroy stuff, or grab supplies. It was a blast and very unique.
19.Bubsy – Ah, the Bugs Bunny of the gaming world. This crazy feline had so much color and humor about him that he won a place in my family’s heart. I still remember the day we all busted up laughing when he started knocking on the TV screen as we were eating dinner.
20.Earthbound – “Why so low on the list?!” Well, I didn’t get to play as far into this as I’d like. However it’s still an amazing game that’s worth making my list above many others. A modern-day RPG with creative mechanics, I enjoyed it!

So how about you all? What's your favorite SNES titles ever?

Same as with your PS1 thread I didn't own a SNES (I was a Mega Drive kid) but I have played many SNES games in more recent years.

I've roughly ordered them from best to slightly less than best.

1. Super Metroid - It's Super Metroid. Need I say more? No, but I will. This is the game that got me into the whole Metroidvania thing. I've always been a fan of 2D platformers (one of my favourite genres really) but the idea that you had a (somewhat) open world to explore was insanely awesome.

2. Final Fantasy VI - My favourite in the FF series (tied with FFX). There are plenty of things I could say but I'll end up going on way too long. All in all, it's an amazing game.

3. Chrono Trigger - Similar sentiments as FFVI. Fantastic game.

4. Yoshi's Island - A bit of a departure from the Mario series but a fantastic game in its own right. People may think it blasphemy, but I enjoy this game far more than Super Mario World.

5. Final Fantasy V - No that's not a typo. A bit of an underdog, I thought this game was far superior to the more popular Final Fantasy IV. I loved the job system, a vast improvement over the job system seen in Final Fantasy III for the NES. I loved the universe, I loved the music, I loved the humour. The story was a bit lacking but it was by no means bad. Overall great game.

6. Earthworm Jim - This is a bit of a cheat because I feel the Windows 95/Sega CD version was a lot better than the SNES and Mega Drive versions but I had to slip it in anyway. Great humour, solid gameplay, fantastic soundtrack. I love this game to death. The Windows version would sit at number 2 on this list, but as that doesn't apply here the SNES version gets a modest 6th place.

Indeed blasphemy! Although I did enjoy what little of Yoshi's Island I did play!

ahh yes, my favorite system of all time. I don't think I'm gonna do any particular order, because I really can't

Final Fantasy VI- and yes, I'm gonna call it 6. To me it is one of the best of the series, and it truly brought out the power of the SNES
Super Mario World- countless hours of fun, who doesn't love it? not to mention some of the romhacks I like to look up online ^_^
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island- Baby Mario constantly screaming might have gotten nerve wracking, but it was still fun
Mario Paint- The time I spent in a foster home when I was 6, they had this game, and I loved it ^_^
On The Ball- Never heard of it? pity. It was a fun little marble game
Puzzle Bobble- I feel this needs no explanation. I just love Puzzle Bobble.
Secret of Mana- great adventure, need I say more?
Tetris Attack- I'm a sucker for puzzle games, and yoshi's
Earthbound- cute, quirky, and needs more attention in the world. I demand that Nintendo releases a Mother Trilogy on the 3DS and they release it world wide!
Super Metroid- Just because I like this style of gameplay
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past- umm... Zelda... what more do I need to say?

I'm sure I can think of more, but I'm gonna stop for now ^_^

I love Final Fantasy VI, it's my second favourite behind VII. I enjoyed having a deep story and rich female lead, as well as a playable world map (the first I had encountered). I unfortunately never sank my teeth into the game until pretty late on as I never owned a SNES, but it is still a game I can enjoy today.

Ah! I love these games. I originally found them in arcades, but then eventually as Bust-A-Move on the SegaSaturn. One of the only of this genre I actually like. Nice game choices by the way.

It is something that still stands the test of time just because it was so well put together. I just crraaave the day they remaster it similar to what they did for 1, 2, and 4. I got it recently from PSN, but unfortunately thanks to Sony's handheld limit policy, I can't play it since I deactivated my PSP for a Vita.

Ah that sucks hard man. You can't play it on Vita, or even PS3? You could probably emulate it legally on PC if you wanted seeing as you have bought it. (Your conscience would be clear anyway, wouldn't it?)

I tried playing RE2 on my HDTV one time via PS3.. it was too jarring to enjoy. Vita hasn't had it's PS1 Classics patch yet, we get that on August 28th. Hopefully, at that point any PS1 classic can be installed via the PS3. If not, I may have to wait for it to be rolled out to the Vita over time.

PS1 classics just look much better on small screen. They looked great on PSP. Hopefully same holds for Vita.

Because the Vita has a better resolution, it will probably look worse on Vita than PSP, oddly. It will still look much better than HDTV I would imagine. Looks like you shouldn't have too much longer to wait anyway.

Has anyone here played Zombies Ate My Neighbors? It's such an off the wall game. I wanted to pick it up on Wii Virtual Console but it's an overpriced 8 bucks.

Yeah, no doubt. I've already noticed some pixelizing in PSP games on the Vita, so it's no doubt that PS1 Classics will not be as good on Vita as PSP. However, with the handheld limits, I really don't have a choice. Well, at least the Vita has some filter options that help smooth edges. And it's not as if FF6 suffers the same problem as polygonal graphics since it's sprites.

Soon! I will have FF6 and Xenogears on my Vita... Sooooooon~!
