What are the best Super Famicom games that didn't make it to the Snes (sans rpgs)?

Good stuff. But in all seriousness, I adore the SNES-era of graphics. To me, it was the pinnacle of 2D gaming and probably the prime reason I love the GBA so much.

Front Mission for the SFC kicked ass. I recall playing that non-stop back in the days.

Jikkyo OShaberi PArodius
FFV
Fire Emblem Tracia 776

The Dragon Ball Z fighting games are the first ones that come to mind. Oh, and I heard Rockman and Bass was really good (but never made it here on the snes, iirc).

Tales of Phantasia, Secrect of Mana 2, Rockman & Bass

I'm sure I'm forgetting a ton, but I'd start off with:

Mario & Wario
Sutte Hakkun
Mario's Picross (and all subsequent volumes)
Lode Runner Twin (and, I assume, Power Lode Runner, but I haven't had a chance to get it yet)
Libble Rabble

edit: oh yeah, I was forgetting one of my favorites -- Do-Re-Mi Fantasy: Milon's Quest

http://gaijin.parodius.com/Doremi.htm

It's got one of my all-time favorite game soundtracks, to boot.

Rockman and Forte is awesome.

Kunio-tachi no Banka (Kunio's Dirge/Elegy ) http://www.geocities.co.jp/Playtown/5617/oniku/banka.htm

Cho-Aniki

 

[Crazymoogle]

Dragon Quest V and VI

 

[Mr_Furious]

Violinist Of Hamlin (fantastic action/platform/puzzler)

Rendering Ranger (great game, Super Turrican 3 w/ added horizontal shooter levels)

Umihara Kawase (superb platform/puzzler)

 

[Soul4ger]

Goemon games.

 

[AniHawk]

Well, it's an RPG, but it's an action RPG and not turn-based...

...Still, I can't leave it out of a thread like this.

Winner!!

 

[drohne]

rockman and forte
ganbare goemon 2 (3 is a bit difficult to play without japanese knowledge, dunno about 4)
macross: scrambled valkyrie
umihara kawase

the parodius games are terrific as well, but you'd do better to play them on psx or saturn.

edit: oh yeah, and super genjin 2! that game rocks.

How was Wrecking Crew '98 or Live a Live? I loved the original Wrecking Crew and Live a Live seems right up my alley (a collection of short RPG narratives).

Next week my mission is to find Super Famicom Wars. Also, wasn't there a Super Ballon Fight? I remember seeing it listed on N-sider.com's master list at one time. And those games someone listed with pics, I'm getting those too. They look surprisingly fun.

Even after all these years of using emulators and downloading hundreds of random games just for the hell of it, I'm still amazed to find so many kick ass snes games that I didn't know about. What a great system.
