Most overrated SNES game?
Troonihara Kawase
that popular game you like
>>12684827It's funny because OP chose an image of one of the best SNES games, in order to invite divisive posts.
Final Fantasy V
>>12684841Super Mario World? Man, that game fucking blows! If I had a dollar for every time I enjoyed that game beyond the titlescreen I would be crippled by debt. No cap.
>>12684827Basically the entire library, but this one is almost offensive with the gap in actual quality compared to how much people dickride it.
>>12684827That crap and Chrono Trigger>>12684862Play a real rpg
>>12684915>Play a real rpg"She" can't. SNES doesn't have any.
>>12684862I played it 20 years ago but never finished didn't really get the hype compared to other games like chrono trigger
>>12684827>>12684873these two and Reddit Trigger are the unholy trinity of overrated SNESlop
>>12684927There are, but none made by square
>>12684827Megaman X. I bought it and expected more, but to be fair I'm not much into platformers.
Proposed new board: /snezz/, where strange, gnarled men cackle at each other endlessly about how bad the Super NES is, and visitors wishing to be preached at about 3.58 MHz or whatever may receive the holy doctrines of this mysteriously devoted sect.
>>12684827Castlevania IV
Really wondering if most threads here are all created by a bot with a very small set of subjects.
>>12684989>Reddit TriggerI think you mean Chrono Tumblr?
>>12684827You posted it
>>12684827Nah. Every time I replay it I'm reminded how much better it is than the vast majority of RPGs.
>FF6The story is good if you don't allow yourself to hate it on purely for trying to be grandiose. The gameplay is subpar. My suggestion: FF5>Chrono TriggerNot the most complex or innovative RPG, not by a long shot, but presentation art and music will remain unmatched for all of history. This is fine. Don't buy into fags who say gameplay is everything. It shits on games as art as a whole.>Super MetroidIncredibly overrated, but it is objectively very good and responsible for a lot of modern metroidvania designs. Hate the fans, not the game, imho.>Castlevania IVThis is the only post that actually made want to kill the guy
>>12684827>Super Mario World>ALTTP>FFVI>Mega Man X (series)>Castlevania 4>Chrono TriggerAll these games are either "ok" or merely "good". None of them are amazing. For games that are genuinely amazing, that list would include Terranigma, DKC2, Umihara Kawase, Demons Crest, Earthbound, Super Sloptroid, UN Squadron etc. >>12684829Another retard was filtered.
>>12685372FF5 has tighter balancing and the job system is awesome, but I'd say FF6's gameplay is still more fun and interesting than most SNES RPGs. I feel that the gap between 5 and 6 in this regard has become too overstated. FF6 may be easier and messier, but it's still fun to play around with and the exploration in the second half of the game is great. There's also something nice about being given so many abilities that you can instantly play with, without having to build up jobs. FF6 is fun for different reasons, but sometimes I prefer playing it over FF5 even for gameplay reasons.Obviously people should play both 5 and 6 (and 4) at some point anyway.
Anything Mario, Pokemon, or troon-adjacent.
>>12685419I think part of it is how quick and simple it is to change up the gameplay in 5 compared to 6. You're not wrong the difference gets overblown, but in 6 you're kinda stuck with certain characters for fairly long stretches of time while in 5 you can switch jobs anytime you want. Its perfectly understandable why it is the way it is in 6 and espers help a lot if you diversify spells, but I feel like ADHD addled brains prefer job and/or ability switching the moment they start to get bored. Also gives you something to constantly work toward with ability unlocks, which helps the numbers go up people, which also gets helped when espers unlock.
>>12685490>I think part of it is how quick and simple it is to change up the gameplay in 5 compared to 6>in 6 you're kinda stuck with certain characters for fairly long stretches of time while in 5 you can switch jobs anytime you want.Yeah that's a good point, that is something really nice about 5
>>12685492What's the best FF5(US) version?I played an early rom back in the 90s that wasn't fully translated and it put me off of the game.
>>12684873You're just contrarian and gay like your boyfriend
>>12684994Contrarians on this subject are very tiresome and contemptible. Thier tastes are always bad.
>>12685494seconding this question, i know people love to retranslate these games a lot for some reason.
>>12685496>>12685503>casual babbies crying
Super Mario WorldA Link to the Past
>>12684827every first party game that had prequels on nes
>>12685538I don't think thats how prequels work, anon.
>>12685553if super metroid is a sequel to a metroid, metroid is a prequel to super metroidr-right?
>>12685496Trying the "ur gay" thing towards people who don't like Nintendo is always the funniest thing. It's like being called gay for not wearing pink, or being called gay for not shaving your legs. Have you looked in a mirror, fag?
>>12684827Bait, this is a beloved classic. Also one of the best intros in all of gaming.
>>12685657Nintendo wasn't the same company that it is today, you're not wrong that modern nintendo fans are dickholsters but during the 90's both they and sega put out good shit and we a good platform for other companies' good shit. Claiming you can't like anything on the system reeks of speccy shite.
>>12685663nah nintendo stopped being good in the 90s
>>12685494>What's the best FF5(US) version?>I played an early rom back in the 90s that wasn't fully translated and it put me off of the game.There's a few options.>GBA translation Good if you don't mind some liberties with the script and pop culture references inserted. It reads well and is good overall. The font also looks nice to me. You could also play the GBA version itself for the bonus jobs/dungeon, but I never bothered with that.https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/3687/>RPGe’s FFV translationThe first ever completed translation of the game. I used this last time and honestly it holds up fairly well, though some people say it's a bit bland.https://www.romhacking.net/translations/353/There's also this one I've seen recommended (Legend of the Crystals), but I don't know much about it:>https://www.romhacking.net/translations/2600/I think any of those would be fine, with the first two being safest. Just don't play the Playstation Anthology version, the one where they translated Wyvern as Y-Burn and Karlabos as Karl Boss.
>>12684827Not even close. For me it's Super Metroid and Street Fighter II. Super Metroid is really, really good, but I've never found it very repayable unless you do all these very hard to do sequence breaks. The first hour of the game is always the same and it's pretty boring. Also, the controls are never comfortable no matter how you customize them.
>>12685674>ips patchesGoddammit I just want to play the game
>>12684827Probably Yoshi's Island. That's a game that gets talked up all the time, but has it ever had any notable impact on the design of platformers? Nintendo doesn't care to make any proper sequels to it, and indies don't ever make "spiritual successors" (ripoffs) of it.Even for games that sold like shit back in the day, like Super Metroid or Earthbound, you can still point to a lasting legacy they have on their respective genres. What does anyone ever care about when it comes to Yoshi? Maybe you can blame it for collectathons.
>>12685759Yeah I know it's a hassle, but it's super easy at least. Just get Lunar IPS and load the rom and patchhttps://www.romhacking.net/utilities/240/
Donkey Kong Country 1.
>>12684873That game.
>>12684827Right on the money, OP
am the only one that thinks FF4 and FF5 were better than 6?
>>12685674I really hate that gba font
>>12686329FF5 it is, FF4 is just 6 but worse
>>12685514I like both hard and casual games. You have a defective brain and your ego clings to some random obscure jank that nobody else played (and therefore can't judge you for either way), and larp that anyone cares what you think.
>>12686329FF4 is the best of the three.
>>12684827IV is more overrated.It's only value is as a piece of history.Plays the worst of the Snes games and the story is a more polished FF2 so its not even unique.
>>12684827FF6Chrono trigger Secret of mana The trinity of overated SNES J-RPG
>>12685805>Yeah I know it's a hassle, but it's super easy at least. Just get Lunar IPS and load the rom and patch>https://www.romhacking.net/utilities/240/I appreciate you spoonfeeding me here, anon. I hated dealing with ips patches as a kid and I still do. Just downloaded a pack with about 20 different versions of the FFV.smc but how do I know which one is the right file?I can't stand this fucking "I can't just TELL you how to do it or Nintendo will beat me up tee-hee!" lack of instruction.
>>12686884NTA but its more a matter of >Why are you downloading 20 different versions when most places generally have the correct version in the year 2000+26Just use a good site with only one or two versions per region, and you generally don't have to worry about that.
>>12686898idk at this point the urge to play ff5 has pretty much vanished>Just use a good site with only one or two versions per regionSeveral of the smc files are English translations but I was going to give this anon's recommendation a try >>12685674If you have a site to recommend hit me up pls
>>12686932Final Fantasy V was released in one region and got no updates. It has one version. "Final Fantasy V (Japan).sfc"Go to the Internet Archive.Search "no-intro".Go to any of the myriad of collections that have the no-intro set for every console.Navigate to "Nintendo - Super Nintendo Entertainment System"Honestly, you should probably download the entire SNES ROM set, but if you only want the one ROM, ctrl + f "Final Fantasy V (Japan).sfc" and download it.Download whichever English patch you want to use.Apply the translation patch using Lunar IPS / an online patcher / any of the thousands of other ways of applying an ips patch. I think some emulators apply it automatically if it has the same filename and is in the same directory as the base ROM.Play the game.That's it. It's not hard. It's like 2 minutes of setup for a 30 hour long game.
>>12686580People who really hate 4 and somehow like other Final Fantasy are always morons.
OP is a turbo retard. I'm brapping this thread, with no survivors.*BRRRRAAAAAPPPPPPPPPPPP*
Holy shit you are a bunch of idiots. No wonder this board is so dead.
>>12687001There's a difference between hating 4 and thinking it's overrated. Its fine, but its the weakest of the main 3 on the system, and a lot of the defense it gets tends to be stretches compared to other games in the series. I'd sooner compliment it for things like its music, art design, and technological step up from the FC titles than anything like its story or attempts at drama.
>>12685763the reason Yoshi's Island didn't have "influence" - by which you mean imitations - is because it was the zenith of 16-bit 2.D platforming. It's like asking why the fastest sailing teaclipper of the 19th century didn't have more influence on the steam ships that followed it.
My first impulse is to say SMW, but in fairness I had read through the strategy guide that Nintendo Power had sent well before I had a Super NES, so I'll hold back and chalk that up to being overexposed before I got to play it.Thinking on it, the game that felt like the biggest disappointment when I actually got to play it was SD3. I was definitely expecting more out of that one.>>12685674>KarlabosI've seen that translated as Cerberus as well, but I forget which version.
>>12687074>>12685674>Karlabos>I've seen that translated as Cerberus as well, but I forget which version.The creature's name is a mistranslation of "karabos". Karabos, from the ancient Greek word κάραβος, meant a type of spiny lobster or beetle.https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Karlabos_(Final_Fantasy_V)Interesting
>>12687043>overratedAka straw man bs
>>12687114You're making a strawman by assuming anyone who thinks less of the game must hate it, anon. Not every opinion needs to be an extreme.
>>12684827It's chrono trigger by a wide margin
No game posted here is really overrated, what a retarded word. This thread is full of retards.
>>126871154 is massively underrated because- it's older- it's shorter- the SNES version has very meme'd flaws so people play inferior remake versions and base their opinions on those.- midwits who don't read the stat screen think the game is far shallower than it actually is (and lazily accuse anyone pointing this out as 'reaching')- wannabe literature critics complaining about fakeout deaths and mind control tropes.Now maybe you can suggest some of the actual praise FF4 gets that isn't fair.
>>12687175What kind of pissing match is this? Where did I say shit about it being bad because its older or shorter? There are ways that I would put 2 above it in some of the very things it tries to do, like another anon pointed out earlier. The reason I said you're strawmanning is because you're trying to force unrelated extreme opinions just like you did with your reasons in that post. Thinking something is over or underrated just means that you disagree with the most common opinion on it.>wannabe literature critics complaining about fakeout deaths and mind control tropes.Bad faith arguments like this just come off as desperate because you know there's valid criticism to be had. Its just as easy to say that midwits were too stupid to discard the lack of consequences to the level of drama those scenes oversold. FF2 was a bloodbath by comparison, and even that still had fakeouts. They were just done better.>Now maybe you can suggest some of the actual praise FF4 gets that isn't fair.Nah. I already gave it valid praise from a position of thinking its overrated, I'm not here to try to convince you that you're wrong to have gotten anything from the game, but rather to state that your experience isn't the same as everyone else's. My point is more that people cling to things to convince themselves its better than people who don't do the work for the game in that department, especially since the game doesn't instruct the player to do so with proper subtextual concepts beyond its basic themes. People can make arguments for or against that however they wish.
>>12686932if you need prepatched downloads just go to retrogametalk
>>12685002I think the SNES is extremely overrated and inferior to the Genesis but that game was unironically great. The SNES wasn't a bad system, it's quite good with some very serious issues and shortcomings. Super Ghouls N Ghosts is easily the most overrated SNES game because it's a "classic" despite the fact it can't even run.
>>12687582>that game was unironically great>Super Ghouls N Ghosts is easily the most overrated SNES game because it's a "classic" despite the fact it can't even run.Same is true of Rockman X. It's a decent enough game (although it's not much compared with X4) but not on SNES. It's better enjoyed on other versions.>The SNES wasn't a bad system, it's quite good with some very serious issues and shortcomingsThose very serious issues and shortcomings, along with it just not having a very impressive games library, are what make it a pretty bad system.
For me, Castlevania IV followed by ActRaiser, Skyblazer and Breath of Fire II
>>12687186That wall of text just to admit you have no argument. There's no pissing match, you just stated a claim you cannot defend, got called on it, and now are reflexively attacking my post without actually adding anything.
>>12687676Hyperbole aren't valid opinions, but what should I expect from a low quality thread in a dead board.
>>12684827sure n Chrono TRIGGER is most underrated amirite my guys?
Kill 4chan
>>12687684>ActRaiserThis surprised me, the action platforming was NES tier. I played one stage and was like "Really? This passes for a hidden gem?"
Castlevania 4 is another game that sux yaSMW is okay for a launch title I suppose
>>12684827It's a technical masterpiece with characters and story I don't like.
>>12684873such sad retarded zoomer baityou'll never know the feeling of a love's hand comforting you
>>12687676I'm not the biggest fan of the SNES and it's tempting to say it's bad, but all things considered it really isn't. If you really like arcade ports then it's a bad system, but it does have many quality games. And even then, it does have some good arcade ports and action games, including some pretty good exclusives. But it's just more suited to RPG's and Nintendo exclusives and I'm not a huge fan of the RPG library anyways. If you listed all the good SNES games you would still have a good list. It's still 2.7MHz though.
>>12688059Standards are very low for SNES. SNES drones are constantly hyping and praising games that would be C-tier on other 16-bit systems. It just didn't have much to offer in terms of quality games, so needing to pretend like these incredibly mediocre and boring games are "le hidden gems" became a core personality trait for the nintendie, something that would also help carry them through N64 and GameCube eras.
Auster thread
>>12688235The shitposter is trying too hard here, but now it's true face is in full display, shamefully blasting buzzwords like there's no tomorrow.
>>12684827It's Chrono Trigger for sure
>>12688227>I'm not the biggest fan of the SNES and it's tempting to say it's badIf this was true then you wouldn't be trying to defend it against someone who agrees with you 95%. I don't believe you, false flagger.>it does have many quality gamesI have never seen someone able to defend this claim without immediately resorting to listing off the most underwhelming, garbage tier shit that they obviously didn't actually play.
Truly this board has some of the lamest and most retarded shitposters in this forsaken site.
>>12685212
>>12684864its high time attention is brought to this
>>12684864>>12688948
