I love SNES

stop trying to find someone who likes what you like and hates what you hate. try to find someone who you enjoy anyway and treats you well.
- Sometimes it’s better to have different tastes. My ex and I liked the opposite flavors of gummy bears. It was so convenient. lol
  
  Your ex you said? #joking
- I say this as someone who never stopped looking until I found a gaming buddy in a partner. When every night is a date, lan party, and sleepover all at once... I certainly can't tell you what's important to you, just never settle.
- To a point yes but having nothing in common is tiring really.
- You can't really decide what others want in life.
- 100%
  It's also nice to have shared interests. But I have friends to chat with about the latest Final Fantasy game.
- I feel like gaming is something you both want to have in common if either of you really enjoy it. Otherwise it seems like it usually turns into a problem.

Fine. I’ll do it myself.
- Oh, I think you mean final fantasy 6! Lol
- I'm about to play the new retranslation once I finish with 7.
  
  I'm just about done with 7 again. Hadn't played it since the 90"s. Still pretty good. ::: spoiler Spoiler I'm now fluffing my team up like mad so I can defeat Emerald amd Ruby. After that it's just an easy endgame fight with sephiroth, so I'm really close to almost done. :::

Me too
- My brother and I split the SNES when it came out (presumably with money our parents gave us because we were just kids), but he got gifted Super Mario RPG. And he held that shit over my head, and we didn't get a long, and he never let me play, and so it kinda solidified itself as my favorite game of all time, because it had this forbidden nature for me.
  Putting all that aside, it was just a well made game, great pacing, great mechanics. I got the Switch version and I'm hoping to get my kids into it, but it's hard to compete with the looks of modern games, especially since my kids are young.
- My copy did something weird and wouldn't let me get one particular hidden chest after the first playthrough. Heartbreaking.
  
  Is it the one in the castle you have to ride on a Toad's head to get? That one's missable.

Love seeing Terranigma here. Such a great hidden gem. If you're a fan of Secret of Evermore or Illusion of Gaia, check it out.
- Have I got this straight in my head:
  Illusion of Gaia was the second in a trilogy: Soul Blazer, Illusion of Gaia and a third one that wasn't released in North America. And was that third one Terranigma or a different game?
  
  It was Terranigma.
  
  Sounds right to me. Thanks for reminding me about my abandoned Soul Blazer playthrough 😬.
  Edit: Shout out to Enix being awesome before the merger.
  
  Followed by Granstream Saga.

Me too.
- I love this game so much, can beat it on a single life. Really looking forward to the new Rita’s Rewind game.
- The theme music from this game is seared into my neurons
  
  Iku Mizutani was a master for sure. Dude did incredible things with NES and SNES music.

Mega man X soundtrack lives rent free in my head, along with the first scene that crushed me as a child.
- This is 2, not X, but you might still appreciate this live play. https://youtu.be/MUHlVdqRlPA

Until the other person pronounces it sness instead of s.n.e.s.
- Okay wow rude. How I say it is my bizsness
  
  You've made an enemy today. We could have been friends.
- Ess Ness was always my silly way of pronouncing it, because there's Ness, for N-E-S, and if you add an S, it's S-Ness.
  
  I accept sillynes
  Thumbs up
- I find both acceptable, but s.n.e.s to be too complicated. Somehow, "Super Nintendo" rolls off the tongue for me.
  There's also "snezz" and "Super N.E.S.", Along with all the other permutations of pronouncing NES, lol
- Snez
- Weirdos policing people's childhoods
  
  Wackos thinking anyone is "policing" your childhood.
  If you take offense to anything in this post you need to sit down and rethink a lot of things about yourself.
  Wishing you luck

Both have great taste!
- And are less filling!

Super Mario World where?
- Everybody likes that.
  
  True true. I did think that everyone liked DK as well but I could be wrong

They're both correct.
Hook up the old super nintendo and start asking questions like "Hey did you ever play Lufia?"
- Lufia? I rented it from the video rental store back in the day. I never finished it, but I enjoyed the game.
  
  So, Lufia is a LONG game. It's got fairly limited graphics and sound for a SNES game but it packs in a lengthy quest. It feels almost wrong to offer that one as a rental.
  
  Look into Lufia 2, it is one of the rare cases of a sequel being shockingly better than the first game. It is the only SNES RPG I put in the same class as those from Square or Enix, and I like it more than most of those.

So they meet in the middle at Actraiser?
- I have not heard that name in a long time. .... Long time.
  I still whistle the music every so often.
- Excellent game.
  
  Great fuckin OST too
  
  One of my favorites. I replay it every few years when I think about it again.
  Too bad about the sequels...

F-ZERO my beloved

Girl wins.

Soundtrack to Secret of Mana makes me cry evertim

No Plok? They both suck.
- Holy shit I haven't thought about that game in forever! It was hard AF as I recall.

whynotboth.jp...
LOOK DADDY, WHITE MEGA MAN!!!!

I've never even heard of Terraniema (? Kinda hard to read that font).
Is it any good?
- It’s Terranigma, it never got a North America release so not well known there. I’ve never played it but I hear it’s pretty good.
- It's considered to be the best game in Quintet's non-god-game trilogy (Soulblazer And Illusion of Time/Gaia being the other t'o games).
  It is really good, but has its' unfair moments. Great music, too.
  
  Maybe this was a localization thing, but interestingly, the game at one point kind of calls you a god (translated and from memory: "you are what humans call a god"). There are also multiple elements in the game that have religious themes: the protagonist's name, Ark, which I always linked to the story of Noah, as it's Ark bringing life to a world that was destroyed, death and rebirth etc. (possibly even thrice, the ending is ambiguous) - also the game is somewhat "anachronistic" to say the least. Also the translation of the Japanese title is roughly "creation of Heaven and Earth".
  While the game is technically a bit flawed, story- and presentation-wise it's probably one of my favorites of all time. The subtly eerie setup with everything (e.g. the jingle presenting the acts' titles), man's "emancipation" from nature / Gaia, which arguably caused the catastrophe in the first place, the weird encounters - absolutely fantastic in my opinion.
  
  I’ve seen this repeated a bunch of times but it seems to be an opinion predominantly held by Brits who played Terranigma growing up. I don’t understand it, as I played Illusion of Gaia growing up and love the game dearly (and have replayed it many times since then) but I’ve played Terranigma multiple times and lost interest not long after passing Bloody Mary. The game has gorgeous music and graphics (especially the two world map themes and the early areas) but the story didn’t engage me like IoG.
- Terranigma, very cool game

That crying you hear echoing through the ages is the sound of Superman 64 and well-intentioned grandmothers ruining Christmasses all across the world.
- Nah, the Spiderman/Venom SNES games were where it was at. Never owned them, but spent lots with Blockbuster renting them.
  
  Agreed, that game was awesome.
  Superman 64 was famously bad. It's in the conversation with ET for worst game ever made. And because it was bad, it was quicky discounted, and a lot of people who didn't know how bad it was gave it as gifts.

ok but where's super metroid?

Me too.
- You fool! Those are just NES games!

I don't see a problem here, I've played all those games and every single one is a gem
- They have awesome games to show each other!

I'm about to commit blasphemy:
Y'all can keep the Castlevania. I'll take the rest.
- Simon is on his way to your castle as we speak.
  
  Sorry Simon, but the princess is in another castle.
- Aria's the best one, anyway
  Suddenly surrounded by spears, pitchforks and one torch
  I mean uh, um,... "What is a man!?"
  spears lower
  
  I don't disagree with you. Symphony of the Night is exceptional but Aria and Dawn are so, so good.
