Unique Super Famicom ONLY games

[NickmasterX]

I was thinking about something like this list: http://1up.com/do/feature?pager.offset=5&cId=3152604

theres probably at least 500 games released for the JP SFC and not released in america, good luck!

[lkermel]

Excellent ! This is a great idea, I'm always looking for obscure Super Famicom titles (I have quite a few reviewed on my site though) !!!

Here's some of the ones I know about:

Battle Zeque Ken (nice beat'em up)
Macross Scrambled Valkyrie (The best Macross shooter I've played)
Dezaemon ( a nice 2d shooter editor)
Cho Mahou Tairyku Wozz ( an excellent RPG )
Marchen Adventure Cotton 100% (excellent shooter)
Pop'n TwinBee (this one came out in Europe though)
Umihara Kawase (excellent platform game)

[smork]

Bahamut Lagoon is a famous SFC exclusive. There's probably 873 others, though, on the low side ;)

[Raccoon Lad]

There's a SNES Tetsuwan Atom game (Astro Boy)
Never played it, though.

Theres a few...

#Any of the puyo puyo games. Although one of these did come out branded as a kirby game.

#Super Famicom Wars. It's the prequal to advance wars on GBA/DS . Try finding one on Ebay, you'll be forking out over $100 for it.

#Romancing Saga 3. Square RPG, harder than Final Fantasy apparently. Theres a translation rom around on the net somewhere if you want to have a go.

Very interesting. I knew about Dr. Robotnik's Bean Machine for the Genesis, but not about this Kirby Game. Would you remember the game's title ?...

no, wait, I just found it, it is Kirby's Avalanche ! ...

Kirby's Ghost Trap :)

[lkermel]

So, there's something interesting here... two games seem to exist, they have the same cover, but one of them is called Kirby's Ghost Trap and the other one Kirby's Avalanche...

[jajaja]

Seems to be the same game. Possibly US/EU title difference.

[staxx]

Super Robot Wars
Ranma 1/2 RPG
Tenchi Muyo
Far East of Eden IV
Tales of Phantasia (I think was the name 48Mbit cart)
Dragon Ballz Fighting Games
Dragon Ballz rpg
Yu Yu Hakusho games
Parodius games
Twinbee games
Goemon games

[rarebucky]

Spriggan Powered - 2D shooter that's not very good (but it is very playable :))

[jajaja]

Dragon Ballz Fighting Games
Parodius games
Twinbee games
Goemon games

Im pretty sure Mystical Ninja is a Goemon game :) Parodius, Twinbee and numerous of DBZ games were released in Europe for SNES so they are not SFC exclusive.

[theMot]

Seems to be the same game. Possibly US/EU title difference.

correct.

[lkermel]

Seems to be the same game. Possibly US/EU title difference.

I googled it and it looks like Ghost Trap was the PAL version, and Avalanche the US/NTSC version. Is this correct ? Thanks Jajaja and theMot for the info ! I was confused at first 'cause it looks like the PAL version had two different packagings, a yellow one and a black one...

[youruglyclone]

Popeye - Ijiwaru Majo Sea Hag no Maki (popeye boardgame?)


think Flintstones: Treasure of Seirra Madrock and it's pretty much the same game

platformer w/ boardgame elements

[Neo Rasa]

A really SFC beat'em up I never see people talk about is Ghost Chaser Densei.

[Japan-Games.com]

Don't forget about the BS-X Satellaview games....those are rare even in Japan.

[pragmatic insanester]

iron commando is a pretty cool beat 'em up that doesn't get brought up much. you even get to use guns in it time to time.

u.f.o. kamen yakisoban another beat 'em up. this one is basically the equivalent of going into mcdonaldsland (you remember from the old mickeyd's commercials) and punching fry guys and etc. in the face. it was a promotional title for a ramen noodle brand. i wish companies would make seriously badass promo items like this these days.

armored troopers votoms: the battling road basically, it uses the mode 7 effect to create something like virtual on mixed with mario kart. you have arenas you move around on and defeat enemy mechs. neato.

cosmo police galivan 2 - arrow of justice a meh beat 'em up. worth maybe $10, but don't blow too much on it. the gameplay isn't very satisfactory.

edo no kiba an interesting beat 'em up / strider-ish type of game. robots, explosions, etc.

genocide 2 a badass mech side-scroller. the graphics have a very nice effect going for them, too.

bastard!!! a mode-7 versus fighter. encylopediaobscura.com has an article.

hana no keiji a very obscure versus fighter with dynasty-warriors era characters.

matsumura kunihiro den a wacky versus fighter with giant heads and digitzed graphics. its worth at least $10, and you can always find a copy on ebay.

zoku: the legend of bishin a weird combinaton of f-zero style racing and one-on-one fighting.

[Ed Oscuro]

Zoku's racing sequences suck.

Also, Genocide 2 is also on the x68000. Will give a report on that whenever I get the game later this year! I imagine that version's much better.
