Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen pushed the SNES about as far as it could be pushed. It was a long game, a complex game, and a game that made use of huge maps to fight over. As such, it's probably the most epic game you can find on Nintendo's 16-bit console.
It is available on the Wii Virtual Console, and given the RPG section of WiiWare remains so weak, this game is worth looking at instead, along with its N64 sequel.
The SNES was probably the best all-around retro console in terms of its game library and the sheer number of hits that were released on the system. It’s no wonder that these 15 games are just a few of the SNES games that hold up today.
Why do these sites always go for the obvious top 10 best Snes games?
There are tons of Snes games that are never mentioned and are still fun to play today.
Games like :
- Super Punch out
- Axelay
- Demon's Crest

One of Quest’s classics is getting a re-release on Wii U in Japan. Square Enix will bring Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen to Virtual Console on November 20.
"Cue the most Epic Overture in game history! Ogre Battle had it all including a plethora of all the coolest ‘fantasy’ classes & beasties to choose from to build your army. It was one of the most complex RPG / RTS games." - Samson of Str N Gaming
This game was truly epic, i only played it in the past on the psx, but recently finished the original snes version.
To me this is hands down the best franchise that square enix owns, it truly, truly sux that Square ignores so many awesome franchises in their backlog.
That one is also one of my favorites, but the franchise is owned by monolith now, who turned it into a linear cut scene fest of epic short proportions.
Indeed, I spent many hours with this game attempting to get all of the endings. I can still hear every song from every map in my head.
A great game!
damn games were so much more fun...they created an atmosphere....gameplay was more satisfying...lasted longer...miss the old days
