The Snes is arguably the best console in the world. (Not as good as the Sega Megadrive)
But what if I was to tell you, that some of your favorite Anime were once on the Snes? Well today we talk about my favorite title along with a special mini tribute list of the best anime Snes titles. So lets start with the best of the bunch, Gundam Wing Endless Duel.
Endless Duel is a brilliant fighting game from 1996, with a kick ass soundtrack and solid game mechanics, in fact I'll let this Let's Play better show this game.
This is a good Let's Play, give the guy some likes
The game features a solid combo system, an Endless mode and one of the best soundtracks for a Snes game. You can play all the Gundams as well as Oz's three best Mobile Suits including the Tallgeese, Mercurius & Vayeate. Guarantee if you have a Snes Emulator Endless Duel will certainly be one of your titles as it was never released out of Japan, and for a fighting game it's arguably one of the best 2D 16-bit Fighters ever released, even a hardcore Street Fighter Veteran would give this game credit.
Little known fact that the game was built using the same engine used for the Power Rangers Fighting Game, also released on the Snes.
This isn't the only Anime game released on the Snes, here are some more significant titles from that era.
Slayers: Released as a turn based RPG reminisce of early Final Fantasy titles.
Wedding Peach: Released as a Party Game, a very Japanese Party Game.
Sailor Moon: Has done a Puyo Puyo Pop Puzzle game, a side scrolling beat em up, a 2D Fighting Game and a turn based RPG, the RPG needs it's own entry.
Tenchi Muyo: Turn Based RPG with Strategy elements, also needs it's own entry.
Dragonballz: A large number of 2D Fighting Games, the best of which being Hyper Dimension along with a few RPGs from both early Dragonball & Dragonballz.
G Gundam: A 2D Fighting Game but with a much weaker engine than Gundam Wing.
Ranma 1/2: 2D Fighting Games, a puzzle game and at least one RPG.
Yu Yu Hakusho: 2D Fighting Game, managed a sequel.
That's just for Snes, there are many other anime titles that spawned popular games and it only gets weirder heading into the Playstation era, but that's for another time.
End
