That seems about right. A lot of them are very good games.

Many good games. I think that can be the official 100 SNES for Vizzed.

Personally I wouldn't count Rockman & Forte or Godzilla - Kaijuu Daikkessen as SNES games because they were Japanese only releases (at the time for Rockman & Forte).

I would've liked to see ActRaiser, Terranigma or Illusion of Gaia on the list, but it seems pretty good.
I wasn't actually aware that there was a good Simpsons game at the time. Most of them sucked (Virtual Bart, Bart vs. the Space Mutants and Bart vs. the World).

I agree it seems like a fairly accurate list.... the order is terrible.... those donkey kong games were not that good.... the 2nd and 3rd should have been lower and like other people have said there are a couple missing games.... but for the most part it's a good list.

I think Super Metroid is better than Mega Man X. It should be #8.

geeogree : Yeah a top 100 list is usually a matter of opinion because in my opinion, the Donkey Kong Country games are some of my favorite SNES games, easily on my personal top 10.

KazilDarkeye : Good point, the list should be USA release only.


In case anyone is wondering, eventually I plan to make a youtube video with the top 100 SNES games of all time according to Vizzed, it'll be a fun way to advertise the SNES games on vizzed.

I liked the first one, but I felt like the next 2 were so similar that I didn't find them to be too much fun...

but yeah, I doubt I could take them out over any other games.... they were all good games.

geeogree : Yeah as you mentioned the order is not totally acurrate.... And one point I have to make is that Super Mario World and Super Mario All Stars (takking #1 and #2 spots) probably aren't as good as Super Mario All Stars + Super Mario World (a game giving you more bang for your Viz buck anyways).

For Me, I mostly only Purchase/Rate games I don't already own myself physically. For instance, I think Super Metroid is the greatest SNES game of all time but I don't even ever play it on this website (cause I already own it).

I wonder if this list was sales based somehow.... or at least factored the number of games "produced" as a factor...

geeogree : This list is based on the RGR, a calculation based on ratings and views.

Davideo7 : Not entirely but all the games listed are great! I'd prefer the fighting games like Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat to be in a higher ranking...THEN will I agree 100% with the list. Other than that it is fairly accurate...

How about this new list, it's based on a different calculation, ratings * votes

I think that's a better list.... the top 10 seem pretty reasonable...

actually, the list overall seems much more accurate. Super Mario World is #1 without question.... after that I could list a dozen games that could go #2

marioisawesome : This is just for SNES games, not sure where you got the idea that it was for all games.

geeogree : Yeah it does seem more accurate, games like Mario Kart, Chrono Trigger and Zelda are closer to the top, which they should be.

The fact that Final Fantasy V is above III, the GREATEST FINAL FANTASY GAME OF ALL TIME, boggles me. But other then that, great list.

OMFG where Super Metroid that game was and IS the best classic game of the day!!!!?

craz232 : It's 9th on list 1 and 6th on list 2.

I think both lists are really accurate and really good, I like how most of the classic games are all at the top where they belong, although I do think Kirby needs a tiny little push to spot #9 haha but I think that was a very accurate and well made list overall.

I think that both lists are really accurate, I mean all the essentials are at the top of the list, and the rest of the games are in a pretty good position. Although maybe some of my personal favourite games could be ranked up a bit.
