10Super Metroid (1994)
Metroidvania, Action-Adventure
While the first couple ofMetroidtitles are underlying in some compliments , Super Metroidis where the series reach its pace . Consequently , it ’s not in any dire demand of a remake , with graphics and gameplay that hold up wonderfully today . SeeingMetroid Dreaddeveloper MercurySteam take a snap at a reimagining could still be fun , however , providing an alternating way to experience a stone - cold classic with some extra feature and mobility .
9Zombies Ate My Neighbors (1993)
Run & Gun
Zombies Ate My Neighborsis an imaginative and singular SNES game , taking the run and gun genre to a memorably silly place setting and whole tone . It ’s also tough — viciously hard — something that is n’t fully revealed until deeply into its banging 50 level . AZombies eat My Neighborsremake could add some difficultness settingsor tweak its resourcefulness arrangement to make seeing the end of the game more likely . Freshening up the artwork while maintaining its style and giving the gameplay a fleck of spare juice would just be the cherry on top .
8EarthBound (1994)
Turn-Based RPG
EarthBoundis the North American name for the second entry in theMotherseries , and it could be contend that the others ask remakes more . EarthBound Beginnings(Mother 1 ) could utilize some improvements , andMother 3could use any form of a Western discharge . EarthBoundis the only one that has fair betting odds of getting a deluxe discourse , however , and it would admittedly be fun to see a new rendition of its deceptively cutesy graphics style or Modern angles on its story and characters .

7Shadowrun (1993)
Action RPG
The SNESShadowrungame was implausibly impressive for its clip , with an ambitious story and world that countersink out to enchant what people loved about the tabletop roleplaying game . Not everything has aged utterly though , with undue attrition and cumbersome use of a gamepad - controlled pointer . Shadowrun Returnsand the subsequent game in the serial from developer Harebrained Schemes did a good job resurrect the franchise , but a verbatim remaking of the SNES game could still fill a unique niche .
6The Legend Of Zelda: A Link To The Past (1991)
Action-Adventure
A Link to the Pastis an especially timeless game , and there ’s nothing jolty about the original experience today . All the same , ALink Between Worldsand theLink ’s Awakeningremake acquaint a clear look at how updatingA Link to the Pastcould run . It turn out that top - downZeldais more sport than ever with 360 - degree movement , and get to revisit the interlingual rendition of Hyrule that made many people fall in love with the series for the first time could be a goody in general .

5Tales Of Phantasia (1995)
story of Phantasiakicked off an RPG series that ’s still go strong today , but the original title has often been lost in the shamble in more late years . Although the combat is surprisingly dynamic for an SNES RPG , it ’s wide-eyed and slopped compared to later games in the dealership . A PlayStation 1 port made a number of improvements to the game , but it only made it to the West in in general deficient GBA and iOS reading . RemakingTales of Phantasiacould breathe newfangled life into it while bring it to a prominent audience than ever before .
4Star Fox (1993)
Rail Shooter
Star Fox 64has been the standard - pallbearer for the rail shot serial ever since its 1997 firing , but the originalStar Foxwas fantastically impressive for SNES hardware . Today , however , it can finger slow and primitive compare to its successor . Taking the spirit level design from the originalStar Foxand souping it up with better graphics , gameplay , and a recollective account could be the perfect way to lend a serial publication that has never quite found a modern terms back .
3Fire Emblem: Genealogy Of The Holy War (1996)
Tactical RPG
Fire Emblem Echoes : Shadows of Valentiashowed how much there is to gain from updating classicFire Emblemexperiences , and the SNES gameGenealogy of the Holy Warwould be the pure title of respect to place for anotherEchoesgame . This quaternary entry in its franchise could do good from some weapon balance tweaks and the inclusion of a New support system , helping to bolster its singing of a majuscule story . AFire Emblem Echoes : Genealogy of the Holy Warrelease would also pave the way for aThracia 776remake , its successor that would similarly benefit from an update .
2Chrono Trigger (1995)
Active Time Battle RPG
Chrono Triggeris perfect as is , both in its original form and in the splendid Nintendo DS port of the title . It ’s had a second more trouble on modern systems , with a flawed fluid port finally begin some pickle on PC , but remain an subscript direction to toy the game . Although a unmediated port that did everything good would be enough , Square Enix ’s recent HD-2D vogue establish in game likeOctopath Travelerand theLive a Liveremake could tender an interesting slant for a remaking .

1Donkey Kong Country
Platformer
Donkey Kong Countryfeatures innovative artwork for the SNES , with a pre - render 3D style that count great on the CRT sieve of the time . Playing it on an LCD projection screen does n’t have quite the same effect , however , and more recentDonkey Kong Countrygames likeTropical Freezehave shown how much further thing can be taken visually . Like the update toSuper Mario RPG , remakingDonkey Kong Countryin the same locomotive asTropical Freezewould no doubt accomplish some beautiful outcome while tot up a piece more fluidity to gameplay that remains enormously fun today .
