Fatal Fury 2 SUPER FAMICOM

Fatal Fury 2 was the second game in SNK's 100-Mega Shock series, offering improved graphics and gameplay over the original Fatal Fury. The play controls were modified, this time making full use of the Neo-Geo's four button configuration, by including four attack buttons (two Punch buttons and two Kick buttons). The game expands on the two-lane plane system by giving the player the ability to knock their opponent to the other lane. Additionally some stages have hazards like electrified wires or a stampede of bulls. In addition, each character now have a "desperation attack" which can only be performed when their life meter is low and flashing red. These were implemented to help turn the tide of a fight, although many are challenging to use effectively.

Super Metroid Super Famicom

voted in the top 100 games of all time!!!!!

Super Metroid (スーパーメトロイド, Sūpā Metoroido^?) is an adventure video game developed by Nintendo R&D1 and Intelligent Systems and published by Nintendo for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System video game console. Super Metroid was the third released game in the Metroid series of video games. With its 24-megabit cartridge size, it was the largest game available for the console at the time of its release.^[1]

Super Metroid is a two dimensional platform video game with action and adventure elements. Game progression revolves around sequentially gathering power-ups that allow Samus Aran (the main character) to surmount obstacles in order to access new parts of the world. Like most 2-D Metroid games, the world has a nonlinear design and features many hidden areas, making exploration a central concept of the game.^[2]

Super Mario RPG Super Famicom

Japanese version of this must have game!!

Super Mario RPG is a console RPG starring none other than Nintendo's popular character Mario. This game starts off like almost every other Mario game, with Bowser kidnapping Princess Toadstool. However, when Mario goes to Bowser's Keep to save her, a giant sword made by the evil Smithy crashes into the castle, and sends Mario, the Princess, and Bowser flying to separate parts of the world.

The game plays much like a traditional RPG: Mario and the members of his party gain experience points by defeating enemies. These experience points can increase the team's hit points and flower points (magic points). The battles are also turn-based, but this time there are timed attacks and defenses. Timed attacks allow you to inflict more harm than normal to an enemy. Timed defenses, on the other hand, allow an enemy to inflict less harm than normal. You are only allowed to have three out of five team members on your party at a time. Mario is always in your party, regardless. Your team members can also purchase more weapons and abilities, along with better armor.

Double Dragon return of Super Famicom

Super Double Dragon in the USA!!!! Japanese version has extras not found on English read below:

Super Double Dragon, known as Return of Double Dragon (リターン・オブ・双截龍, Ritān obu Daburu Doragon^?) in Japan, is the fourth game in Technos Japan's Double Dragon series of beat-em-ups. It is also termed Double Dragon IV. Unlike the previous Double Dragon, which were all originally released as arcade games and then adapted to the Nintendo Entertainment System (or other platforms), Super Double Dragon was made exclusively for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System with no prior arcade version and no other console ports. It was released in North America and Japan in October 1992. The North American and European release of the game were co-published by Tradewest and American Technos, instead of Acclaim Entertainment (the company that published the two NES sequels).

Version differences

While neither the Japanese (Return) nor the English (Super) versions of the game are true to the designers' original vision, the Japanese version was based on a more completed build of the game and features various notable enhancements and changes. Among them:

• An Option Mode is added, in which the player adjusts the number of buy-in credits and difficulty level from one of three settings. The game also features Music and Sound tests.

• While the English version only has one difficulty setting, it is considerably harder than the ones in the Japanese version, which includes different enemy ratio and more damage done by weapons.

• Most of the background music are played in different context in the Japanese version. The American version uses a new title theme (which is also the final stage theme), while the Japanese title screen plays an arranged version of the standard Double Dragon theme (which is also used in the final battle and is played in the American version in Stage 5). The themes for Stages 1, 3 and 4 from the American version are used in Stages 4, 5 and 7 respectively in the Japanese version, while new themes composed for Stages 1 and 3. The themes for Stages 2 and 6 and the ending theme are the same for both versions. All of the game's music can be heard in the Japanese version's music test on the option screen, including a tune unused in both versions.

• In the Japanese version, if the player has a weapon currently equipped, it can be exchanged with another on the floor.

• Likewise, the player will pick up the boomerang when it is thrown and then returns to the player's direction.

• The hurricane kick knocks over enemies with single hits in the English version, while it does multiple hits in the Japanese version.

• And finally, the final stage has two new areas.
  
• After the grand hall, the player will go through a series of stairways and then a huge room where all of the previous stages' bosses are confronted before the battle with Duke.

LEGEND OF ZELDA KAMIGAMI NO TRIFORCE SUPER FAMICOM

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, known in Japan as Zelda no Densetsu: Kamigami no Triforce (ゼルダの伝説 神々のトライフォース, Zeruda no Densetsu Kamigami no Toraifōsu^?, lit. "The Legend of Zelda: Triforce of the Gods"), is an action-adventure video game developed and published by Nintendo for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System video game console, and is the third installment in The Legend of Zelda series. It was first released in Japan in 1991, and was later released in North America and Europe in 1992. Shigeru Miyamoto and his team were solely responsible for this game's development.

DIFFERENCES IN THE GAME:

The English language localization included changes to the original Japanese game. The most common change was the removal of religious references to conform with Nintendo of America's content guidelines. The most obvious change was made to the subtitle of the game, which was changed from Triforce of the Gods to A Link to the Past. The font used to represent an unreadable language, Hylian, originally had designs of a vulture and an ankh. These designs were based on Egyptian hieroglyphs which carry religious meanings, and they were altered in the English version. The localization also made changes to plot details included in the instruction manual. The priest Agahnim became a wizard, and his background, which originally implied that he was sent by the gods, was altered to remove any celestial origin.^[16]
