RFGen 2025 SNES Challenge

[slackur]

SNES is in my top 3 favorite consoles, and I enjoy any excuse to play one.  With my current responsibilities I'm not sure when I'll have time to contribute, but I'm very familiar with the library so I intend to squeeze some in sometime.

Claiming has been pushed forward and starts today! I had a lot more interest than originally expected...

I am claiming: WWF RAW

[koola6]

That was quick!

[Disposed Hero]

I want to go ahead and claim Earthbound since I believe it's the only major SNES RPG I haven't played and this is the perfect excuse to finally play it. Looking forward to it!

[ApolloBoy]

I claim Mega Man X!

Claiming Actraiser - its one of the few i know start to finish already

Finished WWF RAW today! Super fun WWF game, the controls have their issues but once you practice and get used to the nuance of performing grappling moves, it becomes a lot easier. I would say except for the reverse chokehold; grappling is one of the major moves the computer uses. So, getting good at the Grapple contests is important. But it doesn't take long as long as your D-pad isn't stiff.  The game has a great roster of stars that I watched when I was younger. The game has super special finishers, but I wasn't able to pull them off, at least for the people I used. I was able to use characters finishers at least for the ones I played. Good game, and plenty of replay value. The Royal Rumble was especially fun.

Here is a pic from one of my tournament wins, but I wasn't sure on the win conditions so I went through all the tournament modes as well and the Royal Rumble

My next claim is: Alien vs Predator

I love Actraiser.  One of my favorite games on the SNES.

Claiming Actraiser - its one of the few i know start to finish already

Finished up last night (Played on Retroid Pocket 3+, cause it was a bit easier at the moment to actually put time into).

I haven't gone through it for quite a long time and forgot what a slog that last boss gauntlet can be. I really enjoy the overhead sections, and while the action sections feel "stiff", its consistently stiff such that it makes the game feel reliable.

Overall I've probably played the best game on the SNES and all the other picks i make will be downhill from now on lol.
