    Super Adventure Island 2 is another hidden SNES gem and one of my favorite games on the system! It's a complete departure from the arcade platforming of classic Adventure Island games and is more of a Zelda II - style side scrolling action game with RPG elements and even a bit of a "Metroidvania" feel to it with the sprawling and interconnected worlds that require some backtracking as you gain new powerups and abilities.

    I love that too. Best one I played like that recently was Little Noah: Scion of Paradise. I love roguelike games overall, but the aesthetic and overall gameplay of it was just genuinely fun. It's not one of those "Souls-like" roguelikes, but uses roguelike mechanics in an anime like setting with a good story and fun characters. Kind of reminds me of the 90s magical girl style anime how it's written. Good stuff.

    Nintendo was (somewhat successfully) filtering out junk games like it always does, but developers like Square were also still putting out high-quality games. That combination hasn't really been matched; most other system either have too much junk or their best games are merely good. Granted it's rather easy to just ignore junk, but that doesn't change the fact that the junk brings down the average.

    One small correction; Super castlevania 4 didn't really do anything to cement the term "metroidvania" which didn't really take off until after Symphony of the Night introduced metroid-like elements. (and yes technically Castlevania 2 simons Quest did have some elements metroid used, it was more akin to an adventure or even light RPG game than a metroid game)

    @@Marc_Araujo Agreed. Frustrating gameplay, leveling up magic is a pain in the arse because resources are so limited unless you fork out a lot of cash and the multiple money types was another irritation. And the many glitches that could softlock a game.

    @@samusx2175 It was a even-crappier version of Secret of Mana...an already overrated, rushed and unfinished broken game that had the the same flaws you just mentioned of Secret of Evermore. The only good things from both those games were the nice-looking sprites and their soundtracks. My biggest gripe is the near impossibility of leveling up the magic and weapons amd how if you don't have them leveled up all the way by a certain point, it becomes impissible to do so afterwards.

    I had both Ninja Warriors and Robotrek growing up! I loved Robotrek's goofy sense of humour, but the crafting system was too clunky. This was pre-internet, so figuring out item combinations was literally: Try to combine item A one at a time with EVERY OTHER ITEM YOU OWN. Okay, now do the same with item B. Doesn't help the some items are one-of-a-kind (which you can't know at the time) and could be used in multiple combinations, the other item you might not get until much later (which you also can't know at the time). Still on my list of favourite games. Ninja Warriors was way better than it had any right to be. The controls, hit boxes, and difficulty scaling were actually pretty tight, and it was just a solid game start to finish.
