Your ideal SNES Classic lineup

[devondragon]

It's inevitable that one will be released so should that happen, what games would you like to see included?


I think Super Mario World and Link to the Past are gimmies but I'd like to also see:

Secret of Mana

Breath of Fire

Final Fantasy IV and VI (although I have them on Playstation, the loading time is atrocious.

What would you like to see included? 

[BorneAgain]

I'm trying to keep my list a bit grounded in what's realistic.

1. Mario-All Stars
2. Mario World
3. Yoshi's Island
4. Super Mario Kart
5. Kirby's Dream Land 3
6. Kirby Superstar
7. Link to the Past
8. Super Metroid
9. StarFox
10. Donkey Kong Country
11. Donkey Kong Country 2
12. Donkey Kong Country 3
13. Earthbound
14. F-Zero
15. Super Castlevania
16. Contra III
17. MegaMan X
18. Breath of Fire
19. TMNT IV
20. Street Fighter II (original, turbo, or super)
21. Final Fight (I, II, or III)
22. Super Punch Out
23. Pilotwings
24. Sim City
25. Super Ghouls and Ghosts

The last five are dependent on Square Enix playing ball, but...
26. Secret of Mana
27. Final Fantasy IV
28. Final Fantasy VI
29. Super Mario RPG
30. Chrono Trigger

If they aren't these five could work too:
-Kirby's Avalanche
-Pocky and Rocky
-Demon's Crest
-Harvest Moon
-Tetris Attack

[chronocross]

-Super Mario World & All Stars
-Donkey Kong Country 1-3
-Super Punch Out
-TMNT: Turtles In Time
-Final Fantasy VI
-Chrono Trigger
-Lufia 2 (I know it's more of an obscure title and a longshot, but I'd like to see it)
-Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
-Super Double Dragon
-Super Mario RPG

[DiBiase is Good]

As long as UN Squadron is on there, I'd be happy. And Batman Returns maybe.

Granted I'm trying to hit all the classics and show the diversity of the system which is why I left out two of the DKC games and such. I tried to get the best representation for each franchise.

This is pretty much the greatest list of SNES games ever assembled. I'd buy this.

Maybe I'm the asshole here, but isn't Mario All Stars just Mario 1-3 updated and then Lost Levels added in? So why not just cut out Mario 1-3, add in Lost Levels and give yourself space for 3 more games?

"Space" isn't really the issue considering how small the ROMs of these games are. Nintendo could put in as many SNES games as they could, but if they are steadfast on having only 30, might as well throw in All Stars to technically get 34.

Just speaking for myself, I consider the All-Stars versions to be the definitive versions of those games, as the graphics have aged better than their NES counterparts, and I think the SNES controller works better with them than the NES one too.

Actually All-star would be consider to be one game/rom since it a compilation, not 4 separate games so removing 1-3 won't give you space for 3 more game.

When I bought the Nes classic I was reminded of how much the Nes controller sucked. I loved the SNES controller.

I will say that if they made it, I would love for them to work a deal with Capcom to not only get Mega Man X into the game, but Mega Man 7 as well.

While it's different and the final Wily fight can be a pain in the backside, I feel it's an underrated Mega Man game because of the time it was released, the X series overshadowing it, and I don't think any press about the game out. Hell, the only reason that I knew about it back in the day was because I saw it on a Blockbuster shelf, unlike the X series where I do remember at least one mention of it on TV somewhere.

Would love to see NBA Jam. Hate basketball but that game kicks ass.

[Allie Kitsune]

OK, so we know that from the original classic, that Konami, Capcom, Koei-Tecmo, and Square-Enix/Taito, Namco, and Arc System Works are willing to play ball. I think I'm still limiting the amount of RPGs, though.

The other condition I'm imposing on myself is that it has to be games that have already been released on either the Wii or Wii U Virtual Console, since they're not going to bother adding anything new (meaning no pipe dreams like Lufia 2 or Killer Instinct or Thunder Spirits). And that it's limited to 30 games.

1. F-Zero
2. Super Mario World
3. Super Metroid
4. Super Castlevania IV
5. Contra III
6. Axelay
7. The Legend of Zelda : A Link to the Past
8. Cybernator
9. Super Punch-Out
10. Super Street Fighter II
11. Final Fantasy VI (3)
12. ActRaiser
13. EarthBound
14. Mega Man X
15. Legend of the Mystical Ninja
16. Pilotwings
17. Breath of Fire

Actually, those are all the previously VC'd games that I want, so I am going to fill the other 13 slots with "Pipe Dream that Can't Happen" games, but still from the publishers (Including HAL as part of Nintendo) that were previously on board with the NES Mini.

18. Lufia 2 (Square-Enix, via owning Taito's IPs)
19. Hyperzone (HAL)
20. Brain Lord (Square-Enix)
21. Captain Commando (Capcom)
22. Sunset Riders (Konami)
23. Super Pinball : Behind the Mask (Nintendo held the publishing license once)
24. Illusion of Gaia (Square-Enix)
25. Sparkster (Konami)
26. Super Adventure Island II (Konami, via owning Hudson's IPs)
27. Darius Force a.k.a Super Nova (Square-Enix, via owning Taito's IPs)
28. Super Double Dragon (Arc System Works, via owning Technos' IPs)
29. Knights of the Round (Capcom)
30. On the Ball a.k.a Cameltry (Square-Enix via Taito)
