Well, we're back with Part 3. I could just create the one big Super Also-Rans list - featuring and discussing every Super Famicom and SNES game I've added to the Giant Bomb Wiki, almost all of which weren't worthy enough to exist already - and set it to unordered, but that would mess up my whole sarcastic "Mahjong game #infinity" tagging system. I'd rather play a hundred mahjong, shogi and pachinko games than sacrifice that attitude. Oh wait, I already have.
At any rate, be sure to check out the first two lists in this series and watch the madness gradually unfold: Super Famicom's Super Also-Rans and The Super Famicom Super Also-Ran Super Sequel.

Go game #7. I haven't checked to make sure, but I'm fairly positive the box art for every SFC Go game has just been Japanese characters on a boring background.
Capcom's Tenchi o Kurau games - based on a flashy manga about the Chinese Three Kingdoms conflict of "Romance of" fame - actually saw a number of localizations in North America and Europe: Destiny of an Emperor, Dynasty Wars, and Warriors of Fate. With this one, Capcom decided to just go full Koei Romance of the Three Kingdoms and make it a strategy sim, which might explain why it didn't get localized with the rest.
Quiz game #4. Another one of these psychologically probing quiz games, this one having a fortune-telling theme. It's the last core game for the Super Famicom, but Visit would make another seven for PlayStation. I don't envy anyone undertaking *that* wiki project...
Another board game adaptation based on the Japanese version of Milton Bradley's The Game of Life. Roll around the board in your convertible, hitting positive and negative life events in a game that's entirely too random to be fun.
Mahjong game #28 (that didn't take long). Learn how to cheat with tiles the same way shadowy underground figures like Shouichi Sakurai do in this grittier mahjong game.
Pachi-slot sim #7. Get it, 7? This is the only time I can make a big deal about lucky sevens until we hit "pachi-slot sim #77" (and don't think we won't).
Shogi game #15. Despite the gigantic title, it's still more shogi. This one is sponsored by a national newspaper. Can you think of anything more thrilling?!
Mahjong Solitaire, with a new twist. Evidently every variation of Mahjong Solitaire is required to be named after a different region of China.
Shogi game #16. You better believe this was released on the same day as the above shogi game. Welcome to the Super Famicom in 1995, mothereffers. We done gave up.
Horseracing sim #12. Sorry McElroy brothers, but I think I hate horses now.
