Yet by combining those things with a unique take on Judeo-Christian mythology, the result is one of the best and most underrated games of the 16-bit era.
But the original’s legacy is undeniable, as it paved the way for all of its even better successors.Īt its core, ActRaiser is a fairly standard platformer, and its city-building gameplay is downright simplistic. While the racing and battle modes are still pretty fun, Super Mario Kartis best experienced as a piece of nostalgia as opposed to your go-to racer. It was only well into development that Nintendo decided Mario and the gang would fit the game, and thus Nintendo stumbled onto one of its biggest franchises. Super Mario Kartįun fact: Super Mario Kartstarted off as just a vague idea to create a two-player racing game to complement F-Zero, which was single-player only. The title has been remade twice now, but neither of those versions has the same charm as the original. If you do want to experience Secret of Mana again, or for the first time, just remember to stick with the SNES version. While some say it surpasses The Legend of Zelda series, the sometimes finicky combat doesn’t quite hold up as well as older games in the Nintendo series. Square’s take on the action RPG genre is remembered fondly for its lush graphics, memorable soundtrack, and three-player co-op gameplay. There’s a reason why The Alien Warsis often called the best game in the long-running series. Thankfully, Konami delivered a game that upped the ante with even more ridiculous setpieces (like riding a motorcycle and a missile), better graphics than ever, and the series’ trademark tough-but-fair difficulty. Contra III: The Alien WarsĬontra and its sequel Super Cwere among the best games released on the NES, so expectations were high for the SNES follow up. We haven’t seen a new game in the series since 2004. It’s too bad that Nintendo doesn’t seem interested in making an HD sequel of the futuristic racer. F-Zero’s graphics may not be as impressive now, but it’s still not too hard on the eyes, and the racing still feels fast-paced and challenging, even in the age of Forza. F-Zero pioneered pseudo-3D racing using the SNES’s Mode 7 graphics, which is still the basis for most racing games. The Big N doesn’t get nearly enough credit for basically inventing modern racing games.
