BEST GAME OF 1994 CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH

Super Metroid
vs
Final Fantasy VI

A fitting end to 1994 with two timeless classics, one which was the initial new standard for Metroidvanias, and one that was the gold standard for JRPGs in general. However, there can only be one winner, and we find out who that is over the next 24 hours!

Sadly, there are no second chances in the Guru, azuarc doesn't need one.

These two are actually my top 2 SNES games

The Christmas I got these two games, and I think it was only these two games-- it was truly magical and will never be topped

Ultimately I'm going to have to go with

Final Fantasy VI

Just gave me a bit more enjoyment over the years I think. But man tough call.
No problem!
This is a cute and pop genocide of love!

This is legit OG stuff man. I regret not being into JRPGs and Metroidvanias when these 2 games first came out. I rented both at 9 years old but didn't know what tf I was doing. I eventually played both in my adult years thanks to Wii Virtual Console (Metroid) and FF6 getting a solid GBA port, and both are in my top 30 of all time (hell, FF6 might be at minimum top two).

But having both on SNES cartridges? That's what dreams are made of.

1) Super Metroid

most of my favorite games were out after 3 days lol, but I still really enjoy these, thanks for running them
azuarc wasn't even home. he was playing Magic the Gathering at his buddy's store, which is extremely easy to verify
