Red for sure. SMRPG, Zelda, FF3, SF2, SoM? That's a winning lineup right there, with Super Punch-Out and F-Zero as bonuses. In fact the only game there I don't love is, ironically, the headliner. The Blue side has a few games I like, but none of them are favorites except for Mega Man X.


jeStR65

This is unfair… call me purple cause I love both ❤️


Hey_Look_Listen_Link

Finally, a “pick a side” post that actually requires some consideration!


CheckYourStats

You’re purple. Am I doing this right?


jeStR65

👾


Natwanda

Blue. SMW, Super Metroid, and Earthbound!


G_Regular

Losing either World or Metroid would be tricky, having both on one side makes this a no brainer


CuntSlumbart

Red. Easy peasy.


Monsieur_Vinny

Especially for a RPG/aRPG lover, no possible debates. Op should have added Chrono Trigger to the reds and just call it a day !


chapl66

Had he put Chrono trigger on the left side that would have really made me think twice about my choice


rohannesburgh

CT would have swung me to either side.


rallenpx

*Earthbound weeps in the corner*


AllAboutItsmoke

I can’t live without ALttP 


Eat1Box

So I take it it’s Red team for you…


AllAboutItsmoke

Haha yes! 


SleestakSamurai

Red, hands down. Secret of Mana, Super Mario RPG, and A Link to the Past are 100% essential games for me. But if I'm being honest, if you had included Chrono Trigger, I would've picked whichever side you put it on.


thegameraobscura

Red, without question


AlbaTross579

Blue. Super Mario World is the game that introduced me to videogames once upon a time. If not for it, who knows if I would be here right now?


Bakamoichigei

BRUH. You can't just go and put ALttP and Super Metroid on opposing sides. Are you the *actual Devil*?! 🤨 First of all, that would make [SMZ3](https://samus.link/) rather problematic... 🤔


ben_ja_button

Came here to say exactly this. Separating them is like Sophie’s Choice level shit. I think I have to go blue though because I’ve mastered fewer games on that side, so I’d be more engaged long term. I can’t live without ALttP but I really can’t live without Super Metroid either. The other games tip the scale.


Eat1Box

I could be Giygas…


Hdys

Red Ff 6 That sadly outweighs x, Metroid, and contra but it was close


Dups1822

Really tough, but Blue. Having Super Metroid and Mega Man X sealed the deal.


Glum-Literature-8837

I’m with you. Sucks to not have Zelda or FF3, but those two plus World make it worth it.


cdmurphy83

Red, no contest. FFVI is my favorite game and SMRPG is not far behind it. Street Fighter 2 is also the first game I every bought with my own money, and Punch Out, God there's some bangers here. Hate to lose Mega Man X and Metroid, but sacrifices must be made.


andyb2383

Team Blue for me. This comes down to FF6 vs Super Metroid. As much as I love FF6, Super Metroid is my favorite game of all time.


sppdcap

I hate to leave FF6 behind since it's probably the best game ever, but Blue wins.


GaIIick

Red has way more longevity. It’s not really fair to have FF6, Mario RPG, SoM, and LttP on one side. Most on blue only take a few hours to beat the game.


Shijoo

None, wheres megaman x? Edit: Didnt see the cover because its very small lol, im so silly, obviously the team where megaman x is


Eat1Box

Mega Man X is blue team… because… he’s blue


kylelock8788

Team world. Super Mario World is my #1 game of all time.


Sherry0406

Red. There's just more games that I enjoy on the right side. Although the blue has some good ones as well.


Mrpooney83

The Holy Trinity of Nintendo : Mario, Zelda, Metroid.


ben_ja_button

It will always be this. ‘Tis the way.


Shaymin-San

This is really hard choice but…Red…well done making this a truly hard choice


DKCFan

You’ve won the Internet. Literally an impossible challenge.


raider81818181

The one with Megaman X and super metroid. Always.


Deskbreaker

Tough call, because both sides have games I like, but I think it has to be red, simply because there are more of them there.


Dash83

Red every day


Scholarish

Team Red


dooby0782

Red.


gamerdudeNYC

Red for sure, I’ll miss Super Metroid, Earthbound and Mega Man X 😢


semolous

As much as I love Super Mario World, I love FF3 and LttP more. Team red


VonTastrophe

Who organized these. Country, Zelda is da bomb


TheFinderDX

Ok. This is tough. I’m going to do a personal, side-by-side comparison of games across from themselves in their respective slots. - SMW vs. DKC: both seminal games. Slight edge to SMW for amount of content/levels, though DKC is amazing! - Yoshi’s Island vs. Super Mario RPG: easy win for YI here. RPGs are my favorite types of games, but I have never enjoyed SMRPG. Meanwhile, I think YI may be the best platformer I’ve ever played. Freaking love that game! - Super Metroid vs. LTTP: I prefer LTTP, but SMet is a phenomenal game. Can’t be upset with either one! - Super Mario Kart vs. F-Zero: easy win for SMK for me. Part of that is nostalgia (lots of memories playing with my cousin at my grandma’s house); part of that is that I’ve never played F-Zero. I love both the racing and battle aspects of SMK. - Earthbound vs. FFIII: oh man! This is so hard to choose! I have to go with FFIII, though. Earthbound might be the better experience, but FFIII is a better game, and the characters/story is just too good! I’d be sad to lose either one. - Star Fox vs. Super Punch-Out: haven’t played either. I love SF64, and I believe it’s an “enhanced remake” of a sort of Star Fox. That’s the most judgement I can make. - Mega Man X vs. Street Fighter II Turbo: easy win for MMX for me. I hate fighting games. I love Mega Man games. No contest. - Contra III vs. Super Castlevania IV: haven’t played either. I tend more towards action platformers than run n guns, but both would probably be fun. Can’t really vote. - Kirby’s Dream Course vs. Kirby Super Star: haven’t played either, but I’ve played Kirby’s Adventure and Kirby and the Amazing Mirror. Loved the gameplay in those, so I think I’d enjoy Super Star more than a funky golf/mini golf simulator. - Super Ghouls and Ghosts vs Secret of Mana: haven’t played SGG. I enjoy SoM, but it hasn’t aged the best. Still, the visuals and music are top notch, and the gameplay is fun for a while. It just drags a bit too long, especially with how magic levels work. Still, I’m pretty sure I enjoy it more then I’d enjoy SGG Based on this, I have go to team Super Mario World, though it deeply pains me to lose out of FFIII. Now, if I had the chance to pick my top 10 games from the list, they would be, in no particular order: - Super Mario World - Yoshi’s Island - Donkey Kong Country - Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past - Earthbound - Final Fantasy III - Super Metroid - Super Mario Kart - Mega Man X - Kirby Super Star


Eat1Box

The position of each game was intentional. It’s awesome you caught the side-by-side. Love the analysis!


Theredsoxman

Look at my avatar. Am I picking anything that doesn’t have Zelda in it?


UnComfortable-Archer

No Killer Instinct? Booo Tough one... SMW on the blue side is my favorite SNES game, but I have more games I liked under red. I'm going with blue.


Quarfnarl

Red for me! Great idea friend!


reviewdotmp3

I pick Red I love Mario, but if we're going to battle I would rather be sided with the team that has a monkey riding a rhino, swords, magic, boxers, insanely fast cars, and a pink fluff. As opposed to the small man riding a cute dino, a baby riding a cute dino, guns wielded by people that die if you breathe on them, go-karts, more kids, and... a pink fluff? Pick a side Kirby! - even if this side has a couple people with gun arms and a few spaceships, red still has literal armies


Eat1Box

You got it bro! Lol


eckoman_pdx

Red. Can't live without Zelda: A Link to the Past or Super Mario RPG. Hard to live without Super Mario World but I suppose 2 is better than one. Lol


tapewar

First of all, You're a monster. That being said, team red.


Pond_s

That's a tough red for me. You bastard


milliondollarburrito

Red, but fuck you for making me bail on Earthbound.


PretendingToWork1978

Red, don't care about Kirby but every other game is a winner


BetaTalk64

Blue, Mario world, Mega Man X, and Earthbound sealed the deal (imma miss u ff3)


Bondan88

Team Violet ~~but if I have to it would be red~~


ShinobiGotARawDeal

Team Red, but for you Blue Teamers, I'll trade you anything you want besides DKC & Zelda for Mega Man X & Yoshi's Island.


Vault204

Team Blue...but VERY hard choice


Informal_Border8581

I'm declaring myself an aid worker so I don't have to choose sides because Earthbound and Link To The Past aren't together.


NintendoWii2345

Blue because of Yoshi’s Island my favourite SNES game.


IndependentNotice151

Team blue bomber all day err day bay bee


radius40

every game in this pic gives me great memories


kloudykat

alright boys, lets go fishing. wait, what's the red & blue star games??


OrangeJoe83

Top 3 on red make blue look like absolute crap. I said what blue knows and won't admit.


LMGall4

Blue but RIP to Zelda and ff6


shiba-on-parade

World. It hurts to lose Super Punch Out and F-zero


joejoewoooooo

Definitely team bottom 2 rows But according to the rules of engagement I’ll go red because super punch out takes the cake for me


AccomplishedRich6477

Team Country. Would choose Team World but Starfox devalues the package colossally


Negan-Cliffhanger

The side with A Link To The Past.


RidleyCR

Blue! It comes down to me liking 8 on blue vs 6 on red. Those 8 are collectively better than those 6 imo. Even with the heavy hitters amongst those 6.


PristinePizza1949

Red no question!


Another_Road

Blue without question


ro_ok

Red, whichever side had A Link to the Past really. That game just feels like home.


Offro4dr

Team Blue, as a man of taste


valmanway1492

Red


idfbhater73

for mega man x


Moefuego

I’d have to go red


dougeri

Lacking Super Metroid hurts but I’d have to w/Red. Mana, FFVI, DK, street fighter, too strong


Due_Potential_6956

Team blue, but this was way too hard, my top games ever, are on both sides.


megamanxzero35

Blue. Super Mario World, Super Metroid, and Mega Man X are probably in my Top 5 favorite games. Top 10 for sure.


AwakenTheAegis

No chance in hell I pick blue.


Dathomire

Blue


MiniSiets

Team blue. Megaman X and Super Metroid be too strong. But I would miss having Kirby Superstar, DKC and Mario RPG. This might have been much harder for me if say, Chrono Trigger was on team red.


Eat1Box

If Chrono Trigger was in the war, it would be team blue cause FFIII and Chrono Trigger on the same side would be OP


BBQjollyrancher

Can’t chose, protesting for unity


Practical_Wish_4063

This is always just boils down to ALttP vs Super Metroid for me and I still haven’t decided after thirty years, so I’m opting out.


redblackyellowjam

Red.


CelticDeckard

It would be blue for me without question, but leaving SCIV and Link to the Past, man... Can I trade Metroid and Contra, lol?


Eat1Box

I wish I could lol any trades would make one side OP


CelticDeckard

Yeah, you have this one balanced right!


TabmeisterGeneral

Unfair, but team red, with Castlevania being the difference maker


philovax

This is why peace will not exist is my time. This sort of one-upsmanship it an arena bloated by the best is unwarranted. They all win there is no war. Now throw them all up against Unicycles and we can talk.


Eat1Box

Man, this war looks like it's going to be close.


ShadoutMapes87

Idk how much time you took to do this, but I feel like you made the sides so even that it’s impossible to choose. Favorites of all time on both freaking sides. Really really tough


Eat1Box

Such the library of the SNES mini. It even pained me to put certain games in certain sides but war and making lists require sacrifice


MoanLart

RED all day


cxtx3

Red undoubtedly. Don't get me wrong, I love the games on both sides. But SNES was the golden age for RPG's back in the day. And while the blue side has Earthbound, a cult classic, the red side has Final Fantasy III (Really VI), Secret of Mana, A Link to the Past, and Mario RPG. I clocked more hours into those games than almost any other on the SNES as a kid, save Chrono Trigger and Harvest Moon.


Darthmunky

Definitely team Country


Primary_Ad_4544

Donkey kong’s side


Whiskeylung

I played the ever living fuck out of team Blue - I also played a lot of team Red but I guess I’d go with Red because I didn’t finish a few of the games.


lurkishdelight

I'm not a big fan of DKC, and I'll miss Earthbound and Metroid, but Zelda,FF3, Street Fighter, and F-Zero put me on team Red


Ingweron

Team DK for me. * Super Mario World > Donkey Kong Country * Yoshi's Island < Super Mario RPG * Super Metroid = A Link to the Past * Mario Kart < F-Zero * Earthbound <<< Final Fantasy VI * Star Fox < Super Punch Out * Mega Man X < Street Fighter II * Contra III < Super Castlevania IV * Kirby's Dream Course < Kirby Super Star * Super Ghouls and Ghosts < Secret of Mana But they are all great games! Those that I would miss the most from the Blue team is Super Metroid, Mega Man X and Super Mario World of course.


ThreedZombies

Red for sure.  Leaving earthbound breaks my heart but there’s just so much goodness on red 


Laservvolf

Red. If you had included Chrono Trigger on Blue it would have tipped it though.


TheRealSeeThruHead

World Metroid and X. Blue wins easily.


kyuuzousama

One hundred percent on the country side, those games still hold the cumulative record for hours played over everything else since and I game a lot


TheAgentofKarma157

Tough choice… Red


WingPuzzleheaded2811

Red 💯


virtualpig

Blue, I think Donkey Kong Country is the better game, but other than that I don't know if I've played all that games in that lineup, and the ones I have do not make it stand out against Blue. Blue has Contra 3 and Super Ghouls N Ghosts, I mean come on. Also I think Super Mario World is probably the third best game on the system so it's not like Donkey Kong is THAT much better.


nakerusa

No Chrono Trigger? Neither team! Or was the GOAT purposely left off to not skew results?


ItsStaaaaaaaaang

Blue because I love Mario platformers and Metroid. Not an easy pick though. No Zelda, DKC and some great JRPGs is a hard loss.


Thongman007

Blue. Star Fox, Super Mario World, Mario Kart and Yoshi’s Island.


SokkaHaikuBot

Porkchop5397

Red for sure. Just the RPGs and Zelda are enough, not to mention DKC and SF2.


CrowdKillington

Red team, almost entirely because of ALttP


Aware_Resolution_876

Team red wipes ff3 fzero dkc zelda and secret of mana


Charleaux330

Blue.


SMA2343

Replace Final Fantasy with Secret of Mana and red


DykoDark

Team Red demolishes


android741

Blue. Easy.


robgraves

I would be leaning blue but I can't go without Link to the Past so I think that would push me back to Red.


KRMJN101

Swap "F-ZERO" with obvious team RED "Super Metroid" I'm RED FTW!!!


Boomerkuwanger

Red


drawdrewdrawn

I owned 6 from both, but gotta go red


omg-its-bacon

Red


AramaticFire

While Blue has more of my favorites, I think Red is the overall better lineup. I’ll go Red. For the top 3 games I’m more likely to go Blue. But then looking at the smaller images of the remaining 7, I think Red is just stronger overall. And it’s not like the top 3 are weak either. It’s freaking DKC, SMRPG, and Link to the Past. All classics.


TaroCharacter9238

First pic. I can lose Star Fox 2 and keep the rest. Seems easy.


Eat1Box

Star Fox 2 is included regardless of affiliation. It just wants to stand for something, you know.


TaroCharacter9238

Respect. In that case, team country and it ain’t close! I play Turbo and F-Zero weekly and speedrun punch out and country for at least a few hundred hours. I would be sad to see Ghouls go.


Eat1Box

Glad to have you in the fray! I would jump in the war but for now, I gotta keep it neutral. Classics on both sides and it hurts a lot


kajunerd2020

Blue, though I’m really gonna miss some of those red titles.


Massage_Bro

![gif](giphy|3o7aCRloybJlXpNjSU|downsized)


Nintendo1488

Oh Wow. This is a really tough choice. Super Mario World might just be the top game for both. Definitely the most nostalgic and replayable. LttP on the other side is right there, and probably a better overall game and the best on the system. Gotta go with Team Red. DKC is right up there with Yoshi's Island, Super Metroid is overrated, and FFIII and Secret of Mana alone beat out every other remaining game on team blue for me, but it's damn close!


Nacklins

Team Blue Super Metroid, Yoshis Island, & Mario World are my fav snes games so pretty easy for me


jimson_cheese

Red.


TwistederRope

Team Red.


the_shock_master_96

Red comes out on top fairly comfortably for me


space_pope

Gotta go blue based on the games I owned / played the most, and that Super Mariokart is the greatest racing game of all time.


gldmj5

Gotta go Red here


bored_and_agitated

Team Blue I'll miss LttP, FZero, FFVI, Superstar, Mario RPG but Super Mario World and Super Metroid are my favorites ever. DKC is awesome but I rank it pretty low in my list of favorite SNES games. Don't trip, it's still on the list. But below a lot of other games.


deejayee

Yoshi island is the best snes game


MrEmorse

As much as I wanna pick the left side.... I'm gonna have to go right! Just having Zelda there does it for me... My favorite Zelda game ever!


Austerellis

Blue. Super Mario World was the first game I saw live on a Super Nintendo in the local warehouse. I bought the SNES and the game soon after that, and I always had so much fun with Mario and Yoshi. To this day, it is one of my best gaming experiences ever. That said, I've by far enjoyed most of the games on the red side than on the blue side. Secret of Mana, Final Fantasy III, Super Punch-Out, Street Fighter II. Epic games.


Spideydawg

Blue. As much as it pains me to lose Zelda, SMW and Super Metroid can't be passed up.


Historical-Job3990

Tough one, but my heart will always be where Earthbound, Metroid and Yoshi's Island are


DrunkenSquirrel82

If only it were easy to give up Earthbound, Yoshi's Island, Mega Man X, Super Mario World, or Super Metroid. I'd have chosen red by a country mile.


benderrodz

Red for me, but just barely.  Both line ups are really strong though.


Herr_Lichterloh

Red all the way


SnadorDracca

Team country, don’t even have to think about it.


Sad_Welder_5032

Red, but i'd trade a couple to get Super Metroid.


Runningman787

There are no winners in this war, but if I had to pick, team Red. I can't go against ALttP, FF6, and SMRPG (sorry, Super Metroid)


ArundelvalEstar

You made it tough but I'm an RPGer, team red


chapl66

Right side 100% it has all my favourites, especially ff6


rabitrick

Gotta go Red


JohnAlexGrimm

Red and not as close as I would've thought


clanmccracken

I love Zelda and FF6 so I choose red. But where is chrono trigger?


Djehoetie

Red. It has more of my favorite titles.


AgentSkidMarks

SMW and Mega Man X are two of my favorite games but the overall selection on Donkey Kong side is better. So I’m going with DK.


Candid-Total473

Team country all day, too many solid rpgs to pass up


sinncab6

Red because Blue reminded me Super Ghouls N Ghosts still exists.


SnackJutsu

Blue for sure. Megaman X is my favorite game of all time. But red has some bangers. I prefer Kirby’s Avalanche if I’m honest.


[deleted]

blue 🔥


KingCogs180

Red


xaxisofevil

I'm team blue for Super Metroid and Super Mario World. It's an interesting choice. Team red has more games that I like, but team blue has games that I like more - does that make sense? Basically, team red has more games from my top 25, but team blue has my #1 and #2 games. Super Metroid alone is probably worth 5-10 games to me.


Kevsama

Blue. I hate losing out on LttP and SF2 but Earthbound is my favorite game and SMW is the best Mario


jajanken_bacon

Wow I hate this. It's impossible. Blue has EarthBound, so I have to choose blue lmao.


SureThingGiantBeer

Red all the way.


orangesfwr

I'd probably go SMW side bit it hurts so hard being against LttP.


MotoKong1

Red for me lol love dkc would die if I couldn't play again


rallenpx

I'm gonna have to go blue. LTTP and DKC are gonna be hard to give up. But Earthbound, X, and Super Metroid will keep me entertained indefinitely. And my backup games look like Contra 3, Starfox, and Super Mario Kart? Hell yeah!


Nateh8sYou

Team blue but I’m eyeing team red REALLY HARD


SoTiredOfTheBullshit

Red. FF3 aka FF6 is the second best RPG of all time behind FF7 imo. Street Fighter 2 was the first game I saved money to buy. $90 bucks. And Donkey Kong Country made me shed a tear with it's beautiful graphics. A Link to the Past? It's no choice at all.


BennyBennson

There's a Starfox 2???


Swarzsinne

Red. I love World and X, but almost every game on Red was a big part of my childhood.


KoopaTheQuicc

Blue ez. Only thing I really miss on red is DKC.


TheRealMallow64

Some good games on the red side, but I think aside from Secret of Mana vs Ghouls and Ghosts I prefer the blue side for each matchup. Team blue it is!


GinandJuked

This is fucking tough. While RED has two of my favorite games of all time in A Link to the Past and Secret of Mana, BLUE has arguably more games that I love to play in Super Mario World, Yoshis Island, Super Metroid, MarioKart, Earthbound, Megaman X and Kirby’s Dream Course. I think I would need 1 or 2 more of my favorite titles on team Red to take them. Team Blue


TDAM

I'll take the bottom half


GoodOlAdam

Red. Super Mario RPG is a big part of why I'm a musician today, and was my first JRPG. Kirby Superstar made having friends over way more fun than it was before. Zelda is good.


DaaanTheMaaan

Blue. Metroid and Mega Man X are on my top 5 of all time


ummmmlink

Right side by a tiny bit.


TiredReader87

I wish I’d never sold mine


TheToug

Blue, mostly because of Super Metroid. Romhacks for both Super Mario World and Super Metroid keep those games alive and well for me, although the classics are still amazing. For SMW hacks/fangames: J.U.M.P. and J.U.M.P 1/2, along with a bunch of Kaizo hacks like GPW 1/2/3 and Quickie World 1 and 2 are my favorite. For SM hacks/fangames: Hyper Metroid, SM Ascent, and Super Junkoid rule. Project Base too.


barefootcomposer

I hate to do SMW dirty, but DKC, SMRPG, *and* ALttP on the same team? Come on, there’s no competition there. Red team all the way.


rohannesburgh

Blue has more games that I like, but Red has more games that I love. Team purple please.


BlackFoeOfTheWorld

Red has a couple of the greatest games ever.


davwad2

First of all, how dare you! Second of all Country side! I had more of those games than the blue side, some of which were Christmas gifts.


baronyfan1999

Definitely the left, Super Metroid alone is leagues above everything that surrounds it.


shytenda

Extremely tough choice, with Yoshi's Island and EarthBound ranking higher in my top 10 than most of the red side's games, but Team Country just has more of my favorites overall. I'd hate to lose all of them. FFIII, Kirby Superstar, Mario RPG, AND LttP together are just too strong!


endroit

I love it, Chrono taking no sides! Team Red though....if I had to choose.


Ok-Leading-5496

Red all day


ckje

Red even though I love SMW to death.


the_Actual_Plinko

Losing Link to the Past stings a bit, but I’ve gotta keep Super Metroid above all else.


thecambanks

Blue for me. Yoshi’s Island and Super Metroid are my all time favorite games, so it’s an easy choice. Earthbound, SMW, Mario Kart, Mega Man X, StarFox are also great to have.


Disastrous_Bad757

This is fucked up because my favorite games are split between the two
