Ok so what are the essential arcade style games on this thing? At the moment it's a Super Mario World / Gameboy machine for me.

Our panel of expert pon scientists recommends playing Panel de Pon on your Super Famicom at least once a month to maintain proper pon levels.

most of the good arcade ports on snes are beatemups and fighting games

>>11515610
Anything by Capcom, Namco, Taito, or Konami

>>11515641
The Konami shmups are good too imo. One of the Parodius games even has extra characters and a save function which I learned on here recently

On The Ball/Cameltry is a super fun game. Played and beat all levels, I think it's like 99 levels or maybe even more. I beat all difficulties.

Okay, I am going to dump a big list, some of them I played and loved, some are going on by reputation alone and I haven't tried them yet. I've included hacks that could potentially make the game better, fastrom hacks especially are nice because they allow games that used cheap slowrom carts to make use of the SNES's CPU to the fullest. Not every game that has a fastrom hack strictly needs it like Pocky and Rocky or Ninja Warriors but many games like Super Ghouls and Ghosts, UN Squadron and Magic Sword there is a night and day difference. There are also translations for JP only games, all games here are in English. List one is for home console games that play like arcade games, list two are arcade games ported to the console. Not an exhaustive list so if anyone thinks I've missed a good game, I'd like to hear it.

Forreal, anyone that took time to play around with ROM lists in the early 00's absolutely knows about Gundam Wing Endless Duel. By acting smug about it, all it does is prove he's a basic little bitch who's never gone through a SNES rom list on ZSNES or SNES9X and tried every ROM.

None, this system was dogshit. Most NES games mog this piece of shit hardware. Play the Final Fight SNES and then the Arcade port. It's a joke.

The only one that came close, is Super Ghosts n Goblins and Mega Man X. There was a sailor moon fighting game that's also good.

Every genre became shallower on SNES. Shoot Em Ups became boring, platformers became meh, Castlevania doesn't know what it's trying to do.

Genesis carried the arcade soul.

I don't care about genesis or snes. I never owned any of them. I only emulate. But it's a fact, that the arcade dna was more involved in genesis games, mostly because Sega had their roots ingrained in the arcades.
>>
>>11516324
Final Fight 2 & 3, Super Castlevania
These games are so boring, if you played the originals or the classicvanias. You just keep moving right, without anything happening. Which is a shame, because Final Fight 3 feels so good, but it's such a mediocre enemy encounters. SNES limitations couldn't handle many enemies.

>>11516341
Nintendo never had any arcades or anything, naturally.
>>
>>11516341
I didn't own either, and I'd rate SNES and Genesis as roughly equal in terms of worthwhile games. I have basically as much fun emulating either, and I really quite like that they're a little different, sound and graphics for one, and then that both libraries have differing trends for some genres. Lots of cool stuff you'll find on one but not the other.

With that said, this isn't a thread about your arrested development or chronic inferiority complex, your lingering middleschool trauma adds nothing to this conversation or subject, and you should fuck off.

That Tetsuo Hara inspired art on the last one. Incredibly botched English localization for that game too. Replacing the music with ambient noise and the character portraits with digitized real faces, it's like a particularly bad creepypasta.

Yes but that just replaces the ambiance with two forgettable tracks instead.

It's weird how people go insane for suggesting playing arcade games on other consoles like playstation or saturn, but on super nintendo nobody creates any drama over it.
>>
>>11516087
Being a little harsh on the SNES. It's biggest problem was the slow processor but other than that it was great. Excellent sound, good graphics (when not being compromised and forced into lower resolutions or slow gameplay due to to processor), mode 7 effects etc. It's too bad the processor counts for so much compromising it's ability to play the faster paced games and handle lots of sprites well.
>>
>>11517526
Also I should add the excellent controller and good games, this system saw the beginning of the transition away from arcade style to games to more modern story driven, extended sit down type of games.
>>
>>11517446
Maybe, but this was a thread on SNES games so I stuck to those.
>>11517525
Ports of all types are interesting. For ports to lesser hardware you get to see all the changes and compromises they made to accommodate. Sometimes they add cool extras like new stages, better music, improved controls ect. Home ports are also nice because they let you pause, easily adjust difficulty and prevent credit feeding by limiting your continues or sometimes sending you back to the beginning of a stage after using a continue.
I know some people like to check out the arcade version if there is one so I made sure to list arcade ports separate from the console only arcade-like games so they could play those if they wanted.
>>11517492
It's pretty amazing but I can't help but think what bullshit it was to offer those cartridges in the first place. Seeing games like R-type 3 and Sunset Riders run fine I can't help but think SNES would have never gotten its bad reputation without those slowrom cartridges. I've also wondered if Genesis was also saddled with shitty chips like those, or is it just an SNES issue?
>>
>>11517523
Yup.
And wait until you find out Mega Drive has RPGs too.
Youtubers and modern internet ecochamber made you believe that different consoles of the retro era didn't have this or that thing, in an attempt to make each console a sort of "character" to help with midwit pseudo-historian eceleb narratives. But back in retro, these consoles were just having video games, there was no real war outside of kids who couldn't get both.

MegaDrive had a good balance. SNES is filled with arcade style games, but are made so easy that you'll get bored halfway through
