Getting an SNES

[AgentCupcakes]

Well I just ordered an SNES from 8bit and Ive been trying to figure out which games I want to get so far here is the list:

Super Mario World
LOZ Link to the Past
Super Metroid
Chrono Trigger
Earthbound
Harvest Moon
Final Fantasy II
Final Fantasy III
Star Fox
Super Punch-Out!!
Super Mario RPG
Lufia II

I know that getting these games will be crazy expensive so I'd like to know about cheap fun games to get any help would be great

[Flake]

Whooo! I hope you have deep pockets, friend!

I'd shoot for side scrollers and 2D Fighters and lose the RPG's.

Two reasons for this:

A) In general, they are a lot cheaper these days. You can pick up Megaman X or a copy of Street Fighter II Turbo for under $10

B) SNES batteries aren't getting any younger and most (if not all) are already past their projected lifespans. Now, if you don't have any problem replacing them yourself (it's not that hard, I understand) just disregard this point.

Some favorite, less high profile games of mine:

Zombies ate my Neighbors
Cybernator
Ranma 1/2: Hard Battle
Super Smash TV

Congrats.

I have copies of SMW, Donkey Kong Country, Mega Man X, Zelda, and Super Mario Kart. I can even prob go and get a copy of Mario All Stars as well.

I'd start with

Super Mario World
LOZ Link to the Past
Final Fantasy II
Star Fox
Super Punch-Out!!
F-zero
Gradius 3
Donkey kong country 2

and some fighters

Lufia2, Super mario rpg and Earthbound, Harvest moon, Chrono trigger, FF3 are a bit too expensive to buy when starting a collection.

[Rurouni_Fencer]

Super Castlevania IV
Super Double Dragon
Mario Kart
Donkey Kong Country
Uniracers
Kirby's Dream Course

Yea, Super castlevania too, It dropped below 20 dollars recently, didn't notice.

Congrats on getting an SNES you have lots of great games to play!! As mentioned I would pick up RPG's later since they are on the more expensive side of SNES library.

the Donkey Kong Country games are mandatory

Ok, I'll give you a list with some rough prices of games that I like that I figure you might want to check out.

Also, changing SNES batteries isn't as difficult as you might think, though it would be a better idea to try doing it on cheaper games the first few times. You don't want to pick up a copy of EarthBound, only to ruin it by botching the battery.

Rock and Roll Racing and NBA Jam are two of my favorite SNES games and you can probably get both for under $10, under 5 if you really look.

If you want to go for imports that are import friendly and sub $20:
Super Bomberman 3-5 (5 will run you $20+ most places though)
Battle Tetris Gaiden
Battle Cross
Mario Picross
