The Super Nintendo Entertainment System went by many names. In Japan, it was the Super Famicom. In Korea, Hundai sold it as the Super Comboy. In the West, it was the Super Nintendo, the Super NES... in our house it was always just the SNES. (That's pronounced “snez” by the way. None of that “ess-enn-ee-ess” here.) When we got our own second-hand SNES in the mid-90s, it was a revelation. Our first home console, with full colour games to play on our terribly modest TV screen. Some will favour the Mega Drive/Genesis, others the PlayStation; but for me, the SNES was the great console of the 1990s. Don't worry, I'll get to those other two.
Settling on a mere twenty-five favourite SNES games was a hard task but I managed it. There were so many truly excellent games on the SNES (often with the word “Super” in the title), I could have made it a list of fifty. Keep in mind that these are just my personal favourites, not a “best of” list. It's platformer heavy because platformers are my thing. No doubt your own lists would look very different.
As before I've included details of where these games can be legally played, although with retro gaming such a huge market nowadays it's quite possible I've missed some options.
