Any others you suggest? I probably missed some. This is a tough choice. Most of you that know me probably already know what I will pick.
RARE is my choice, of course. I adore the Donkey Kong Country games. Their mix of adventure, beautiful graphics, fantastic characters, and memorable music always keep me coming back for more. The level designs are some of the very best on the system. Killer Instinct is my favorite fighter on the system, by far. It has great characters and music. RARE always has great music. Finally, Battletoads & Double Dragons is one of the most addictive beat em' ups of all time. My grandpa even played the game with me when I was little! The game is legendary for its difficulty, but shines because of its fast paced action, great character animations, variety of gameplay and bosses, and MUSIC.
I never played SNES...I guess I will go with RARE tho as well because overall they have the best games of this era. DONKEY KONG ALONE makes me vote on them....... I really like DKC overall...it has great presentation and gameplay :3
Its funny how all of these studios not counting HAL are (almost) dead (CApcom is arguable tho )
I allowed 2 votes just in case you have a runner up vote. I might vote Konami as my second favorite. Too bad they are going mobile.
Capcom is alive and well.
Square is still going, but had some issues lately.
I wish you played more of these games, but you recognize the series. I bet SolarBlaze will have a hard time between RARE and Capcom. He loves Street Fighter and Mega Man.
Yep, I recently went through Super Caslevania 4 and Contra 3: The Alien Wars. ^_^
So many aliens, Annie. We are getting swarmed lately.
I saw that many Contra fans actually hated the overhead view in the 2nd and 5th level in Contra 3, but I loved those stages. Did you like those, SolarBlaze? Konami was actually my second vote. The games they made are the most addicting and action packed, and Zombies Ate My Neighbors and Contra 3 are two of the best games to play with friends.
Wow, seems Rare is owning this poll based on their fewer games. That means quality truly shines through for them. Capcom made many more games, but Rare is still winning.
That is not to say Capcom went for quantity over quality. They made some of my favorites. I really want to get Breath of Fire again and I am addicted to Street Fighter 2 Turbo and Mega Man X.
