I really just have this list as a notepad file for my own reference, but I figured it might be of some interest to people: These are all the Super Famicom (and the very few SNES) games that I've added to the wiki, as part of an ongoing quest of mine to ensure we have a full page (well, by a fairly loose definition of "full") for each game in the library of Nintendo's sophomore console. It's safe to say that the grand majority of these games are of no interest to anyone whatsoever. I mean... otherwise we would've had pages for them already, right? It's not exactly a shrinking violet is the Super Nintendo.
Instead, the main theme of this list is "Just how many identical-looking mahjong, baseball, shogi and horse racing games did the Super Famicom have?". The answer might surprise you. Surprise and bore you. It's possible to feel those two emotions at the same time, believe me.
(I'm dedicating this list to Bobafettjm, one of our busiest wiki editors and whose Weekly Wiki Update blogs I'm always defiling with reports of this ridiculous crusade.)
(These also-rans have also run over the 100 items limit for ordered lists, so now new ones are getting added to this one instead.)
Showing 1-10 of 100 items
Shogi game #1. Nothing to do with System Shock. Possibly a link to System Shogi, though.
This one surprised me. I figured there was a huge fanbase for this series out there including our own head honcho and manager of Dr Tracksuit, Jeff. I want to say I added the very first game in this series to the wiki too, which came out for the PC Engine. Y'all probably know what Fire Pro's all about, so I won't linger.
Sengoku-era strategy sim #1. Just Zan, not Rising Zan. No katana-wielding sharpshooters in this one.
Shogi game #2. It's like shogi, but superer.
Romance of the Three Kingdoms strategy sim #1. This one's based on a manga, at least. That's almost an interesting fact when it comes to Japan-exclusive games.
This is an outer space mech strategy sim from Hudson. The odd part is that it's entirely unaffiliated with Gundam and the thousand mech strategy sims that franchise has spawned, despite looking almost exactly like one of those. The mechs in this actually look a bit like more like Bomberman bosses, though I guess that's to be expected given the developer.
Formula One game #1. Doesn't actually have any circuses in it.
Well, it's like the Kunio-kun dodgeball games, but not quite. It's based on one of the many underdog sports mangas that all essentially read the same. There's even a manga for competitive Famicom gaming: Famicom Rocky. Why didn't they turn that into a game, I wonder?
Baseball game #1. This is the Japan-only sequel to Super Bases Loaded, if anyone's wondering. (There actually was a Super Bases Loaded 2, but it's based on an entirely different baseball game. Jaleco only seemed to localize every other sports game they made.)
Mahjong game #1. It's like mahjong, but superer.
