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.

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.

Actraiser 1 is fantastic. I was so disappointed in the 2nd though. All the top down sections were removed 😭

Same as me.  I love the action and sim parts of Actraiser 1.  Actraiser 2 only has the action parts, which make it not as good.

Id like to claim Final Fight

Completed War 3010 today.  It plays like a simplified Advance Wars strategy game.  Its a little basic and clunky but once you get the hang of it, its pretty fun.  The one thing that was tough to get a handle on was there was sometimes a "hidden" objective that made levels way easier, but sometimes you needed to find and do these or the level would basically be impossible due to the enemy having so many more units than you do.  Also the ending was anticlimactic, you got two lines of text before being kicked back to the opening menu, not even credits were shown.

I think I'm going to do Goof Troop next.
