SNES Game Collecting (Tips, discussion, and info for like minded collectors)

So, I finally got round to uploading some pictures of my collection of games. There's nothing very impressive or ground-breaking here, but I thought I'd share anyway.

I have been mainly focusing on re-acquiring games I originally had when I was growing up. I do have a small list of titles that I would really like to add to my collection if I can find them reasonably priced -
Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts
Super Punch Out
Super Castlevania 4
Street Fighter 2 Turbo
Super Metroid
Super Probotector
Alien 3 is on it's way to me. I'm excited to try this one as I always wanted this when it was released but have never actually played it

Although what the hell any of these tracks have to do with DKC is beyond me. The 'Killer Cuts' CD with Killer Instinct - now that was more like it.
Were the Killer Cuts tracks from Killer Instinct though?

Contra III, Tetris Attack, and Pocky and Rocky - some of the absolute best games on the system for sure.

How can I play around with the Satelleview interface? I have the SNES SD2 and have been unsuccessful in getting it to work after downloading ROM and following a YouTube video walkthrough. The Satelleview "overworld" looks really neat, a bit like what the Wii had. I really want to play around with it using the translated patch.
Wait so that was the actually Arcade soundtrack then?

I just picked up Super Mario All Stars with World.
It really does look so much better than the NES versions on my Trinitron and it's cool to have that unique Luigi sprite for SMW.

Been eyeing getting into SFC collecting for a while, found this today locally for about $40 USD so I bit. Love the style over the SNES boxes.
No SFC to play this yet, though I´ve read it´s quite easy to mod your SNES to play SFC, apparently just get rid of two plastic tabs. Googled it, but just want to know if any of you guys have done that "mod"

Yes its piss easy, literally takes 2 minutes. I think most on this board have done it.

Just a heads up, Japanese super famicom RPGs on eBay are really great value. Full boxed near mint copies of CT can often be found for under $20 shipped. They are VERY plentiful, like sports games are here.

Yeah but isn't it worthless unless you know Japanese?

i had super famicom ver. of Super EDF as a kid and the text was all in english plus
the audio for the super famicom version was superior to the ntsc/pal version .

Depends on the game. I've played CT like 15 times so it's easy.
But generally the JP versions are all about the box art (and relatively neat condition).
I'm more likely to play CT, FF6 (as in ff3), and the other ridiculously expensive English snes games (~$75+) on Wii virtual console. And then collect the far better priced and better looking JP version cart and box.

Someone made a list of Saturn games playable without knowledge of Japanese. If someone did that for SFC that would be sweet.
Yeah it's crazy, theres a CIB Chrono on ebay right now for $10. Can you imagine what it would be like if we had those prices?
Thanks buddy, do know that JRPGs on SFC can be had for pretty cheap, this was more of an impulse buy since the game usually goes for a lot more here in Mexico, that and shipping over from Japan to Mexico more often than not we get hit with ridiculous customs fees, so I think I got an OK deal.
Anyways thanks fellows for the advice, finally got it working. I do know some basic Japanese and have played games and even a couple of RPGs entirely in Japanese before, so I feel playing classic JRPGs on the system can be a formative experience.
My poor old yellow SNES, won´t ever get rid of it since it´s been with me since December 1992.
Sell it on eBay as super rare gold edition.

Super EDF soundtrack is awesome and the SFC version is somehow better?
awe yea!
i don't have both on hand, but the instrument samples differ so much
(at least IMO)
i recommend using headphones and play through the entire track to capture all the nuances=)
Super E.D.F. "Sunlit Colony"
A) American
B) Japanese
Super E.D.F "Midnight Intercept" My favorite track (note the intro) i also linked the Jalco Arcade OST CD track for reference to compare which sounds closer to the original.

B) Japanese
C) CD track of arcade OST

Too many sports games in that SNES lot you just won an auction on? Put them to good use.

Cash out with repros imo. Turn that Madden 96 into a gold mine.

Cheaper and easier to use custom boards/shells now. Pee away!

Super easy to do. I took the console apart and used a Dremel to make everything nice and clean. Played my first Super Famicom game after the mod. Rockman & Forte.
Hmm I wonder what was with Jaleco NA releases getting such revisions. Hell, the third Rushing Beat game (Shura/Syura aka The Peacekeepers) had its soundtrack pretty much removed, and even special attacks changed for no reason.
Also yes, Midnight Intercept is the best track from EDF.

thank ye! better late than never, haha
never heard/seen it either but it looks kinda cool
Aw yeah, I love my Everdrive. Having access to translated RPGs and other Japanese games (Love me some Clock Tower) is so nice. I'd recommend just trying some random Japanese action games, sometimes you find gems! I recently played through Ghost Sweeper Mikami and had a blast.
IrishNinja
Member
yeah, Ghost Sweepwer is high on my recommended list! and Clock Tower, i played like 20 minutes and damn, savin this for one of my Halloween games this year for sure
looking forward to fan stuff like Oh No More Zombies or whatever that was! also Famicom Detective Club seems dope

I owned it since 2014 and it's pretty easy for the most part(it only has easy and normal, no hard difficulties) but fun still and worth a play. All cutscenes are in Japanese though.

hmm...i got a huge folder of fan translated stuff to hit up, you think it got one of those?
I don't think it has one.
I looked around, but couldn't find one. Would be nice, the story looks pretty goofy, especially
what seems to be a twist ending
Anyone translated Bounty Sword yet?

okay, so Oh No! More Zombies Ate My Neighbors ain't bad, just feels like someone fiddled with a level editor...seems like a few new things? will return to this one, ZAMN is one of my all-time faves (despite never being able to beat it, haha)
finally played Ghoul Patrol...maaan, this isn't bad, but it's a big step back. aesthetic isn't as nice, enemies take too many hits, i'd rather have the option of a mini-map than walking around till something yells at me, having to find the exit makes levels a bit more tedious, etc

I've heard people complain about slowdown in 3. It's never bothered me, but if you're sensitive to it, it might be an issue. I really liked 3. The option to play co-op with a cpu controlled partner was pretty cool in a snes game. I also really liked the branching paths, since it helps spice up play throughs some (shout out to peacekeepers too).
Both games are pretty good and worth a try!
I never played 2, but I have 3 and it's a respectable advancement from the first game. The soundtrack is catchy and the graphics are the best of the series. I mean, you've got Haggar and you've got Guy, so that sells me right there. Like most brawlers, though, by the time you get to the end it gets repetitive with the enemy types. Still worth it.
Played through 3 with a friend a couple of weeks ago. It's good, nowhere near great though and the slowdown is atrocious in coop.

i'd say right from the source, krikzz's shop - your call on DSP chip support or not (Mario Kart, Mario RPG etc), prolly don't need the USB module if you're not developing.
SD2SNES is much faster & supports a couple more games (and another sound mode that a few on here dig), but is more than double the cost, so it's your call! personally, the Super 2.0 works great for me

Think I'm gonna pick one of these up for my SNES and N64.
