Doesn't mean the games were better though. Sure, there are all the common SNES games that everybody points to, and with good reason, but there are many more games that don't always get mentioned, that should be mentioned:
Contra 3 - Amazingly, I don't always see this game mentioned among the SNES classics
Castlevania 4 - Sometimes this game is included with Metroid and such, sometimes not
F-Zero - some people don't think F-Zero is all that great. I think it's a masterpiece.
Super Ghouls & Ghosts - this one definitely isn't mentioned as much as it probably should be
U.N. Squadron - Another sensational classic SNES game that doesn't get mentioned with the Mario Worlds...
Super Smash TV - excellent SNES cart that doesn't get it's fair share of props
TMNT: Turtles in Time - Genesis version is good, but I think SNES version is better
Starfox - Honestly, the tech of Nintendo was way beyond Genesis in regards to this game. Even the 32X games don't seem as good as Starfox
Axelay - Another shooter that I don't think gets anywhere the level of praise it should get
Pilotwings - Hasn't aged too well, but I think this game is still damn good
Actraiser - This game was magical when it first arrived.
Donkey Kong Country - Yes, I know this game is nowhere near as good as most people think, but it's still pretty damn solid.
NBA Live Series - This started with NBA Live '95 on the Super Nintendo. Genesis versions are very good, but I like the SNES versions better. So much more color and better sound.
Final Fight - I still think the original Final Fight on SNES is pretty amazing. Yeah, I know it's missing a two player option, etc, etc...
Yoshi's Island - This game is sometimes mentioned with the all-time classic SNES games, but sometimes it's left out
