About SNES games
The Super Famicom launched in Japan in November 1990 and reached North America as the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in August 1991. Its 16-bit hardware brought a far larger color palette, a Sony-designed sound chip and Mode 7, a graphics mode that could rotate and scale backgrounds to fake 3D, used to great effect in F-Zero and Super Mario Kart. Some cartridges went further with extra chips inside, like the Super FX chip that powered the polygon graphics of Star Fox.
The SNES era was the golden age of the Japanese RPG, with Square, Enix and Capcom releasing classics such as Chrono Trigger and Breath of Fire. It was also home to some of the best action games ever made: Super Metroid, Mega Man X, Super Castlevania IV and Contra III: The Alien Wars. Rare's pre-rendered graphics in Donkey Kong Country made it one of the best-selling games on the system.
The SNES sold around 49 million units worldwide and fought a famous console war against the Sega Genesis. Pick any title below to start playing instantly.
