    Default The Worst of Super Nintendo (SNES)

    The SNES had a lot of great games... but every system has awful games as well. What do you think were the worst SNES games?

    Here's my list:

    Space Ace - I played this for 20 minutes and couldn't get past the first part, where you're forced to dodge shots being fired at you. I couldn't dodge more than 3 shots. After that 20 minutes, I instantly took it back to Gamestop and exchanged it for something else.

    Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story - I got this free from a friend and had I paid any amount of money for it, I would have felt ripped off. It's a fighting game where you can only play as Bruce Lee, and the controls leave a lot to be desired.

    Alien Vs. Predator - Not to be confused with the excellent Jaguar game. On the SNES, we have a crappy beat 'em up where you play as a Predator fighting aliens. It's easy to get all your enemies off one side of the screen and kick their asses. Only the bosses present anything close to a real challenge. It gets boring really fast.

    Secret of Mana: Ok, so the music, graphics, story etc. are great, but why the hell are my 2 partners such morons when it comes to fighting? I mean, seriously, one would hope that they would know not to get stuck behind walls :/

    Anyone who looked at Bebe's Kids for the SNES for about 10 seconds will tell you it is one of the worst games they have ever seen. I played it for about 20 seconds and I couldn't take it.

    OH YEAH! SoM is a great game if you do not have to play alone but i absolutely HATE the single-player mode, tried it several times and it's the same again and again, no matter how good you are and how good your stats/equipment is, i don't stand a chance against that tiger because of the damn AI

    but Dragon?? i liked that game and it got a lot of good reviews too

    Saying Secret of Mana is one of the worst games for the SNES is a bit of an exxageration. Secret of Mana objectively had excellent gameplay, and although the Tiger was easily the hardest battle in the whole game, I wouldn't go as far as to call it impossible. Patience is always rewarded...

    Anyway, some SNES games you should definetly avoid:
    Space Ace
    Dragons Lair
    WarpSpeed
    Kablooey
    Most movie licences(excluding Batman Returns)
    All Street Fighter 2 clones

    I doubt any of these are "the worst" but here it goes...

    Actraiser 2 - pretty but boring
    Battletoads/ Double Dragon - ugly and difficult
    Captain Commando - poor final fight clone
    King of Monsters 2 - Bleah
    Starfox - sorry, but dated and boring
    Super Godzilla - Double bleah!
    Super Mario Kart - Having played the N64 version first, the graphics are dated and confusing...

    Oh lets see:

    Home Alone 2 - made by THQ in the early 90's... 'nuff said.

    American Gladiators - who thought translating this to a video game was a good idea? Doesnt reach the same level of "SUCK" as the NES version but its close.

    Rival Turf - "Me too" final fight/SOR clone

    Combatribes - bad control

    Possibility is infinity! You must be satisfied!

    Yeah, Super Mario Kart is EXCELLENT still to this day. "Dated" graphics or not, it's still one of the best examples of pure all out fun you have have with a friend.

    Captain America and the Avengers is horrible. I bought it hoping that it would be comparable to the arcade version, and was absolutley let down. There is no excuse for this game being that bad.

    Heh,
    Didn't mean to ruffle any feathers Granted I've played it only single player. The 'dated' doesn't bother me so much as the 'confusing' part. But I prefer the SNES F Zero over the N64 version.

    Heck, I enjoy Club Drive for what it is.







    (checks to see if anyone is still reading!)

    So anyway for SMK your results may vary, or le geek may just not "get it"...

    Cheers
