Final Fantasy VI

Final Fantasy VI is heralded as one of the greatest JRPGs of not only the Super Nintendo era, but of all-time. Beloved for its approach to storytelling, memorable characters, excellent presentation and deep and exploitable battle system, Final Fantasy VI is legendary among gamers, young and old. It says something about a game when a debate rages on whether this title or its immediate sequel, Final Fantasy VII, is the superior game. Even now, 20 years after its original Japanese release, Final Fantasy VI is still an absolute classic that may have actually become better with age.

Ninja Warriors (Super Nintendo)

By Pirate_Higemaru
Overall Grade: B

Ninja Warriors is so criminally underrated, it hurts. Released by Taito in 1994 to almost universal praise, it was mostly ignored by the general public. At the time, the beat em' up craze was winding down and that probably contributed to the lackluster sales of Ninja Warriors. Don't let the lackluster sales fool you though; Ninja Warriors is one of the greatest beat em' ups of all time.

Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!

The first and second ones in particular have been called some of the best of their kind. But what about that third game, Donkey Kong Country 3? Is there a reason that it's rarely mentioned alongside it's brethren?
