Super Famicom
Here we have all the games in the Super Famicom Section.
Super Famicom
Platform
A great twist on the platform theme as the football mad soccer kid runs from platform to platform with his football never too far from his possession. The ball can be used to jump on to reach higher levels, or volleyed into adversaries to take the wind out of their sails. Bright, breezy platforming fun.
Super Famicom
Puzzle
A puzzle off-shoot of the Ganbare Goemon world in which the rotund Ebisumaru must be guided through isometric puzzles through manipulating the terrain that lies ahead of him. Plenty of familiar looking chaps pop up and bonus items add an extra dimension to gameplay whether or not to go out of the way to collect them. But bumbling Ebisumaru plods on regardless of the surrounds so care must be taken to keep him onboard.
Super Famicom
Action
Super Famicom take on the famed laser disk title that wowed arcade gamers back in the early nineties. The action tries to replicate the hurried need to react quickly to the changing terrain and forced scrolling which would test the joypad dexterity of even the GamesMaster himself.
Super Famicom
Shooter
Take on giant mecha adversaries that dart around onscreen in this anime themed light scope game from the big N themselves.
Super Famicom
Shooter
A very faithful arcade conversion lacking only in cigarette burns in the cabinet and jammed coin slot. With added battle mode. Hard to put down even today. Subtitled The Original Game.

Super Famicom
Shoot Em Up
Star Fox utilised the new FX chip to the maximum producing a tight 3D shooter worthy of the Nintendo branding. As with all Nintendo classics, the gameplay is introduced to you gradually as you slowly begin to master control of the nippy airwing. Great control sees you weaving between buildings, skirting under bridges and taking on fruit machines in no time… With lavish presentation including banter with your fellow animal wing men, Starfox is a Super Famicom must have.

🏆Brilliant!
Brilliant Super Famicom
Action
The original cart is a rather rare side scrolling beat ’em up from Kemco with solid 2D visuals and gameplay that they don’t make quite like they used to. Each character has their own special move – the hand grenade can certainly have its use at times. Simultaneous two player mode adds to the enjoyment of this very playable romp.
Super Famicom
One on One Beat Em Up
Requiring no introduction. The game that ignited the 16 Bit world and made a killing for importers at the time. As such worthy of a place in any collection. Thankfully the price has dropped somewhat too. With such brilliant characterisation, attention to detail and finely honed play mechanics its easy to see how Street Fighter swept the world. Subtitled the World Warrior.

One on One Beat Em Up
Finely tweaked version of the original in the first of many milkings of Capcom’s cash cow. New costumes and slightly better balance to the fighting mechanics as the SFII phenomena started to kick in. Subtitled Hyper Fighting.
Super Famicom
Simulation
A space fantasy theme with very tidy anime avatars and a stirring, militaristic soundtrack.
Super Famicom
Puzzle
Very pleasant puzzler of the Puyo Puyo ilk but slightly more cerebral with some splendid power ups and fun two player match ups.
Super Famicom
Simulation
US tanks running at a fair pace through the heat haze and over the sand dunes of a certain dessert based Gulf state. The cursor and cockpit view create the tank feel well and invoke sheer panic as shells rain in from sometimes unsighted sources.
Super Famicom
Action
Something about Bomberman just seemed to click on the Super Famicom and it fits the format like a Tokyo cab drivers white gloves. Perhaps it was the relatives limitations of the format that permitted Hudson to develop the series, rather than to try and invent the Bomberman genre as found on later platforms. Happy days.
Super Famicom
Action
Superb version of the seminal multiplayer title that is perfectly suited to the SFCs sprite powers. Tweaked to perfection without any superfluous power ups to unbalance the gameplay. And the purest form of gaming in multiplayer.
Super Famicom
Action
Fine use of the SFC’s palette and some n ice extras such as being able to ride kangaroos in order to zip around planting tactical bombs a little bit quicker. The tweaks never dominate a fine game that never needed fixing and add to the fun factor.

Super Famicom
Action
Happiness has nothing to do with a well known tobacco product. Happiness is Bomberman. Well at least it is when taking down ones nearest and dearest with a well place bomb punted across into their arena. Beautifully honed and with gameplay dripping from its silicon chips like mayonnaise on the potato variety in Holland.
Super Famicom
Puzzle
A varient on the Puyo Puyo theme with different coloured bomberman helmets requiring alignment before the obligatory boom. Four player matches are a blast as the screen accomodates all players at once.
Super Famicom
Sports
Reminiscent of League Bowling on the Neo Geo, Super Bowling uses the comic expression of the players avatars and light humour to keep the mood uplifting. Players must choose a line, then the spin and power meters must be used with a steady hand.
Super Famicom
A Bit Special
Known as Super Ninja Boy in the West, this version has more going for it that didn’t make the cut for the English language release. Jammed full of Chinese cultural references, or at least Chinese culture from a Japanese perspective, it can be pretty zany at times.
Super Famicom
Platform
Rare developed the Donkey Kong series with revolutionary, rendered, solid visuals squeezing high level performance out of the SFC and sleek play mechanics. Team work is essential to succeed with each monkey having their own special ability: Dixie can hover in the air thanks to her rotating pony tail, Diddy can roll through enemies to get out of a tight fix. Plenty of ropes, switches and barrels make the player develop primordial levels of inquisitiveness with the backgrounds toying with anything that looks remotely interactive. Its easy to see where the series continued to go from strength to strength without any slip ups.

Rare developed Donkey Kong with revolutionary, rendered, solid visuals squeezing high level performance out of the SFC and sleek play mechanics. Team work is again essential to succeed with each monkey having their own special ability: Dixie can hover in the air thanks to her rotating pony tail, Diddy can roll through enemies to get out of a tight fix. Plenty of ropes, switches and barrels make the player develop primordial levels of inquisitiveness with the backgrounds toying with anything that looks remotely interactive. And there are many bonus levels to complement the forced scrolling mine cart rides and toboggan runs to give good variety. There is also imaginative diversity in the end of level bosses making this a fine Caribbean feeling platformer.

This overhead perspective racing game tests your reflexes to the max. Rev heads will relish this SFC updates fast paced gameplay.

Four fine footballing games in the shape of J League Super Soccer, J League Excite Stage 95, J League Prime Goal and J League Prime Goal 2. Excite Stage is a side perspective football game with top tier teams and PK mode seen from both keepers and strikers perspective. Fabulous four player scraps are possible with a multitap and the game is also Barcode Battler II compatible, so get scanning those cans of Baked Beans. A great addition to a value package.
Super Famicom
Sports
Overhead Formula One racer that uses the Namcot flair for cartoony graphics to add plenty of colour and the all important emotion to the package. The attention to detail makes this feel far much more fun than the sum of the parts may suggest.

Known as Super Batter Up in the West, but in Genkis humble opinion looks far better with the Homepride Flour, Fred style Japanese graphics. Bases loaded and this representation of the sport covers all bases.
Super Famicom
Sports
Popular baseball series which evolved with every update making it familiar and yet progressive to fans of Famistar. Manages to recreate the good feel of the crack when batters whack that home run onto some poor chap enjoying his hot dog in the crowd.
