Well here's what I got via other platforms;

A Link To The Past (VC and GBA version)
Kirby Super Star (VC, Dream Collection, and DS remake)
Final Fantasy IV (3D remake) Ick
Final Fantasy V (GBA port)
Final Fantasy VI (GBA port and VC version "Final Fantasy III")
Chrono Trigger (DS enhanced port)
Star Fox (N64 remake and 3DS re-remake) NOT the same game, at all
Mega Man 7 (Gamecube Anniversary collection)  Get a HORI pad if you don't have one already, or just play on the far superior PS2 version
Mega Man X1-3 (PS2 X Collection, awesome games as I just replayed all the SNES ones not too long ago; There's also Maverick Hunter X on the PSP which I also own)
Super Mario All-Stars (Got the Wii re-release which is much fancier)

If I were to add it all together, it'd probaly be almost or over 30 "SNES" games, but only 15 SNES cartridges. Only counting physical stuff btw, as digital is supplementary. Pretty sure I'm not missing out on much.

You are most definitely missing out.  On a LOT.

......not missing out on much? You are missing out on TOO much. The SNES has a great library of games, and such a feat can not be covered by just 30 games...oh no no no. Actraiser, EVO, Earthbound, Out of this world, StarFox, Star Trek: Starfleet Academy Strategic Operations Simulator, Super Castlevania IV, Super Star Wars trilogy, Indiana Jones' Greatest Adventures, Super Metroid, Ultima: The False Prophet Super Mario RPG, the Lufia games (goes on an incoherent rant about great SNES games)

[madrocsz]

you could be like me and get the snes cart (for nostalgic reasons) and ALL of the remakes, remasters, enhanced editions of the same game, well just because lol

Same reason I have the PS2 games but HD remakes of many on ps3 , come to think of it I have every HD remake thus far lol

Thanks, but I'm satisfied with what I already have. I've researched everything else that can be considered "good", and quite frankly they don't interest me for one reason or another.

[wiggy]

Your research: it's broken.

It's just the difference between playing the snes as a kid and playing the PS2 as a kid . Age difference will always define what someone deems good

Not to sure about that, I grew up with the PS2 and the SNES currently stands as my favorite 2D system.

Its one thing when you grow up playing the "good" snes games versus learning about them as they were before your time and you then go play them. The nostalgic factor is missing therefore most won't find what some found good about them back then due to various reasons.

I think nostalgia only apples to bad games but people feel nostalgic too, for the most part.
If something is good, it is good, no matter if you experience it new or old. Some things could use a bit of historcal context to enjoy, knowing there limitations of the technology and such, but just because it is old does not mean its bad. If something is actually good, It will stand the test of time and always be good.

Almost all of the things I enjoy are old. Bands like The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, The Rolling Stones, The Doors. I love shows and movies like Police Squad!, Columbo, Animaniacs (Some episodes are A bit dated, due to "current" references), Tiny Toon Adventures, Loony Tunes, Back To The Future, Monty Python, Faulty Towers, (Minds drawing a blank, I need sleep)

Some things could grow sower with age, I hear people say Golden Eye has aged terribly, I played it once with a friend, I can kinda see why, but Doom holds up well in my eyes.
If by "good" you mean crap games, I understand, but a lot the games listed above are fantastic.

To use another thing as an example, I saw my first complete episode of Star Trek today, The season 1 episode with Khan. I liked it but there were quite a bit of plot problems, like how can a ship of what I can only guess has 100s to 1000s aboard can be taken over by 30 people, why the ship has so many ways to harm the people inside of its rooms (Gas, removal of oxygen) Why Kerk gave Khan the manual to the ship when he just met him, Why the girl, why I think was named Macgiver, was a complete idiot.
I forgot where I was going with this ST thing, But I typed it so its staying here, maybe it will come to me after sleep, its 2 AM.

On the Star Trek thing, Khan's gang were a group of Supermen created from the Eugenics wars in the 1990s, besides a starship seems to be very easy to take over. Anyone with the know how, only needs to take over engineering, lock the doors, and you can take control of bridge functions from there, which is what Khan did. Kirk gave Khan access to documents and all that as a sign of good will, and the fact that people that have been lost since the 1990s would have to find a way to find a niche in a galactic federation. Not only did Kirk give Khan the manuals to the ship, but historical texts as well.

Lt. McGivers was aroused by Khan due to his origin with the fact that much history of the Eugenics Wars and World War 3 have been lost as a consequence of the wars, she initially wanted to learn all she can, but Khan used this as an advantage to seduce her and have her work for him as a mole. She wasn't an idiot, just hormones.
