Apparantly it's quite difficult getting hold of total sales data for Virtual Console games (or at least that's their excuse), so for the Virtual Console Nintendo Power magazine have been breaking their regular sales charts up into specific platforms. In their June issue, they've listed the top 5-selling SNES games on the service (though there's a touch of confusion over whether it's just for February or for ALL TIME). Patchy listings and a lack of sales figures are hardly ideal, but we make do with what we got, and this is all we got.
1. Super Mario World
2. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
3. Street Fighter II: The World Warrior
4. Super Castlevania IV
5. Donkey Kong Country
Discover 10 timeless video games from the past that remain absolutely playable today. From Chrono Trigger to DOOM, these classics have aged like fine wine!
Hot damn that's a good list. The only one i never played is AOE2 and i never finshed Chrono Trigger but it was damn good.
Speaking of what's old but holds up amazingly well and plays like a dream.. i played Symphony of the Night for the first time in 2019.. yep that's right. It became one of my favourite games of all time that i replay almost every year. I couldn't believe how good it was. That is almost impossible for me with newer games let alone older ones. Truly a special gem.
The only one I’d disagree with is doom. It shows its age badly I think. After 5 minutes of play these days you put it down.
Console Creatures writes, “A developer has reimagined Super Mario World in 3D and it looks fantastic.”
This is probably the best way to do It, release full thing instead of showing progress, then any backlash from Nintendo is kind of too late.. but if it got a lot of attention I guess they'd still try and take it down
This looks great it is a shame it will not be released. So far, I am seeing the concept of each mechanic and I would love to at least see a full playthrough of the 1st level of the game.
Leaks reveal an exciting new LEGO Super Mario World set featuring iconic Mario and Yoshi from the SNES version of the game.
