hey we’re allowed to dream right welcome
to watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
counting down our picks for the top 10
games that need to be on the SNES
classic edition admit it mojo holics as
soon as the NES classic edition was
announced you said to yourself that’s
great but what about the SNES please so
for this list we’ll be counting down our
top tier lineup for a potential SNES
classic edition
who knows maybe Nintendo will see this
video and decide to release this dream
machine let’s just hope they don’t ask
for 40% of the profits
number 10 our top 10 SNES list
[Music]
okay let’s be honest these games are the
ones we know have to be included
besides the NES classic edition has 30
games so why would we limit ourselves to
just 10 back in 2013 we tackle the
daunting task of picking the best SNES
games years later this list still holds
true and we’d be shocked if these NES
staples weren’t included in the class
condition so here’s to the misnumbered
Final Fantasy’s me star boxes the
Metroid’s the mario worlds and most
certainly the links to the past
you may call this entry kind of cheating
but we call it resourceful
[Music]
number nine super Castlevania four
[Music]
when the SNES was released it came out
swinging with his 16-bit upgrade to the
iconic Castlevania series giving us the
dark and spooky gaming fix that we
needed the NES Castlevania is felt like
an appetizer with this day being the
main course Simon Belmont has never
controlled so smoothly before and his
quest to defeat Dracula had never felt
so epic the monsters the levels and
contoured that soundtrack our ideal SNES
classic edition would need a touch of
horror and this would be the game to do
it
[Music]
number eight super Bomberman before the
time-wasters of iPhone and Facebook
games there was Bomberman the idea is
simple use bombs blow stuff up but then
start playing became six worlds eight
stages clever enemies boss fights it
doesn’t take long to realize that the
name of the game is strategy especially
when you’re playing the game’s biggest
selling point battle mode
[Music]
facing off against AI is one thing but
doing battle against up to four friends
oh yeah did we mention that we’re going
to need a multi-tap with our SNES
classic edition
[Music]
number seven Super Mario World to
Yoshi’s Island when mario gets a sequel
you typically get some new power-ups
improved graphics catcher music and a
bay valley arguably one of the most
unique mario adventures this sequel is
actually a prequel where yoshi is tasked
with protecting baby mario and rescuing
baby luigi
[Music]
it’s not the adventure we were expecting
especially with the storybook art style
and whimsical music but with fun
gameplay challenging levels and a good
dose of creativity plus one of the best
Bowser battles in the entire franchise a
game became is too classic
hopefully they tone down that piercing
baby mario cried Oh number six contra
three the alien wars those damn aliens
are back and they’ve got a score to
settle but really is it our fault that
bill and Lance were so awesome now their
descendants have taken up the guns as
they embark on the ultimate gaming
adrenaline rush
here the run and gun gameplay is better
than ever with an absolutely kick-ass
soundtrack and a variety of stages but
be careful as there’s no Konami code
this time it’s not the longest game in
the world but with this much action and
difficulty your heart will probably be
relieved over the short leg number five
kirby superstar
we couldn’t celebrate the SNES without
celebrating Nintendo’s adorable pink
glutton much like our number 10 pick
this may feel like a bit of a cop-out
but to us it’s the definitive Kirby
title for the SNES
besides why settle for one Kirby game
when you can have eight these games
range from platformers to various
minigames like racing and an endurance
arena where you faced off against all of
the game’s bosses along with Kirby are
all of the classics from the franchise
including Meta Knight and of course King
Dedede number four Secret of Mana
[Music]
there was a time when square could do no
wrong JRPG wise and that’s not just
because of final fantasy this was one of
those games that slid under the radar
but it packed one hell of a punch if you
got it the opening music alone is enough
to pull you in and that’s before you
even hit the start button
the world is rich with brightly covered
environments a heartbreaking story and a
real time battle system that stood out
amongst the turn-based gameplay style
we’ve become so accustomed to oh and
while we’re at it Square Enix how about
you also include Secret of Mana – you
know the amazing sequel that after 20
years you still haven’t given a Western
release yeah that one
number three NBA Jam tournament edition
[Music]
time for some razzle-dazzle because he’s
on fire we don’t often put sports games
so high on our list but you’ve got to
have NBA Jam there’s no escaping its
charm the over-the-top moves the hidden
characters and of course that
overdramatic announcer the updated
tournament edition adds new features and
Easter eggs while maintaining the smooth
gameplay and quirkiness giving us the
ultimate version of one of the best
basketball games of all time number two
earthbound
[Music]
it’s no secret that this game didn’t get
the love it deserved back in the 90s in
a time when RPGs were slowly making
headway in the u.s. audiences were not
quite ready for Ness his bright red cap
his striped shirt or maybe it was the
trippy visuals and the unsettling world
that these kids had to traverse through
over time the series has gotten the
respect it deserves and it’s become a
beloved gem in the SNES library after
all these years we may be ready to face
off against guy guess once again before
we get to our number one pick let’s add
these honorable mentions to our ideal
classic edition
[Music]
[Music]
number one Mega Man X
[Music]
at the time there had been several
releases under mega man’s belt and it
was clear that the franchise was in need
of something extra Megaman X was like
the older brother of the cool kid in
school you still liked the cool kid but
his older brother his older brother was
a game changer
[Music]
taking place a hundred years after the
original series Mega Man X did
everything right it improved on the
classic gameplay while keeping its core
elements intact it also gave us better
graphics new power-ups a rockin
soundtrack zero and it invigorated the
franchise in a big way
[Music]

you think are required on any kind of
SNES classic addition for more iconic
