Good super famicom action games?

PukeSter · 03/06/2015, 10:53 PM

Starting to discover the Super famicom library. It has many more games than the SNES!

Any really good action games on it? I'm pretty far in Zenki: Battle Raiden, and I love the game so far. I wonder if there is anything similar.

Never heard of this game, reminds me somewhat of Second Samurai on the genesis. I, too, would be curious to see what other good action titles the SFC has to offer, particularly Japan-only games.

Psycho Dream

I'll warn ya, some parts are kinda hard, but over all the game is pretty strange and fun. Well worth getting.

Thanks Professor! That game does look a little odd, but I like swords.

I played Wolfchild. Got to the final boss, but I didn't beat him. Very bland, average game.

I've been playing some Skyblazer recently. It's my first time, and I haven't gotten beyond the half-way point yet (I think), but it's a really good game.

Stupid expensive, but if you can play it somehow, this game is pretty neat.

NONE!!

That looks pretty good! I have a modded snes too but yet to own any super famicom games. I do own alot of famicom so guess it will be next on my list of games to collect once i get to snes lol.

Majuuou or King of demons is a really good sfc exclusive action game.

Hagane is far cheaper for the sfc version and definitely one of the top action games for the system

personal favorite of mine is Sandra no daibouken. criminally underrated platformer. Really well designed and difficult levels, great soundtrack, fun story and character cast, and tight gameplay.

It's a pricey one the cheapest way to play it is a flash-cart or reproduction.

Yeah, I'd say that's the best way to go.

Thanks for this recommendation. I've been playing the T-Eng version for the last couple of days, cleared it on Normal today and will try Hard next. There's definitely some Castlevania and Contra III influence here, but the mood of the game also reminds me of Actraiser and Holy Diver in some parts (there's even a sound effect that I swear was lifted right from HD). Fun game!

No problem :^). I agree the game is awesome, but I've never had the chance to play the whole thing through because my old tototek flashcart has trouble running it. Always seems to glitch out on the eyeball boss - I'll have to try it again. The aesthetic and tight gameplay really sell the game. Too bad an original copy costs an arm and a leg.

Mode 7 fail!

It's actually a fairly short game and not too difficult. I didn't realize at first that the orb at the end of each level changes color, and you get a different transformation for the next stage depending on what color you pick. It also determines which ending you get (there are two).

Even non-translated it should be easy to play through, there is very little dialogue.

The final boss did take me a few tries.

The Twinbee Rainbow Adventure game was a lot of fun, Japan only but no Japanese needed to play this great game.

Super Valis IV was a fairly decent early platformer for the SNES/SFC and definitely worth a play, even more so if you're a Valis fan.

From what I remember, if you take the same color each time you get an ultimate form for the final level. Also, if you don't take any color for every level, you get a different ultimate form for the final level. cool stuff.

thanks for the recommendations. Great stuff for my superufo.

Yep. From what I read online, you have to pick one of each color to get the ultimate "silver" form for the final stage, and the good ending. Some people stated that the three colors had to be picked in a certain order (O, G, B).

Also, if you pick the same color each time, you eventually get a powered-up version of that form (I never did this).

Playing through without transformations would definitely add a challenge, but I didn't think you could skip them.

The Kunio games for sure, particularly Nekketsu Jailbreak Kunio Tachi no Banka.

I like Kunio kun a lot, but these games don't seem to have good translation patches.

Is the Renegade sequel (kunio is framed for a crime) playable without English?

There's two kunio beat'em ups for the snes.Shodai Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-kun is the follow up to renegade while Shin Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-kun is more like rcr.
SNES Shodai Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-Kun
Shin Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-kun: Kunio Tachi No Banka: The Longplay (Part 1)
For being playable in japanese i don't know i've only played them with the translation,through the everdrive.
