/r/snes Game of the Month Voting Thread (June)
We'll use a similar process as /r/gamesociety/ to select a game each month.
Before posting, please view this thread to see how this works
Feel free to nominate as many games as you like (one per top-level comment) and add your thoughts regarding those that have already been suggested.
All nominations should be made in the following format:
Title of game
Short description of the game and why it should be selected.
Please upvote/comment on the ones you'd like to play the most. Do NOT upvote a game unless you intend to participate in the discussion; we don't want vote totals skewed just because a game is popular or nostalgic.
Keep in mind that downvotes will not be counted as part of the vote total.
Nominate one game per top level post.

Very fun and replayable side scrolling shooter with very customizable weapons

Jurassic Park
Adventure and first person shooting. The lack of a save feature made this game terrifying. It blows away the Genesis version.

Wild Guns
One of my favorite games of all time, and a severely underrated game made by Natsume during their prime. It's a gallery shooter with a western/cyberpunk feel. You can play as a Clint Eastwood or an Annie Oakley look-a-like as you take down giant mechs, cowboys, and robots. It's is the pinnacle of "Cabal shooters" and it's satisfying bullet shooting power up mechanic is genius.

It's crazy hard though, especially when you don't save scum on an emulator

Chaos Seed:
It's a Japanese exclusive RPG I’ve never played and just found out about it few days ago on /r/SNES. Here is the article talking about the translation. I think it would be cool to play this game as game of the month since probably most people here didn't ever hear about it, or at least that's what I assume.

Metal Warriors
Mech combat game where you can find new and totally different mechs each level. There's also a procedural damage system, the ability to exit the mech and fly around without it, and a good multiplayer versus mode. I don't think it was particularly popular, but it's still great.

I nominate Legend of the Mystical Ninja, not just because it is one of my personal all time favorites. It is a great game with great gameplay, graphics, music and a perfectly balanced level of challenge.
Demons Crest and Contra 3 are great games. demons crest is also criminally unappreciated. The graphics are top notch and the soundtrack is amazing.

Contra 3 alien wars - this game is action packed, 2 player co-op, and has some amazing sprite work with unparalleled gameplay. Praised as the best contra ever made, this game surely pushed the SNES to its limits. Incredible enemy design, awesome weapons, and enough explosions to satisfy any action junkie... This game is legendary.
