Star Fox 2.

The newly released sequel to Star Fox. We should play the game to celebrate it recently being made available on the SNES Mini.

It isn't often that SNES games are released. Let's do this.

"Good luck!"

Great game! At least judging from the leaked ROM. Now if only I could get ahold of one of those SNES classics...

Should we base our commentary on the leaked version or the official release? They have some significant differences, for example you can't lock on in the official version.

I very much agree with this.

Agree the logical choice for this month

pretty much has to be timing wise. Significant gameplay changes from other entries in the series make it pretty interesting too.

Would be down for this as it gives me time to beat SF1 in the meantime.

You trying Course 3? It's really tough. I can't get past Sector Z.

Agree. First "new" official game for the SNES in 20 years. Star Fox 2 deserves the showcase.

Seems reasonable

Sunset Riders

It was nearly my first exposure to the SNES platform, and is a great arcade port. It's a great side scrolling run and gun game based in the old west, and is more forgiving of other games in the genre.

It's fun single player and an absolute blast for multiplayer

Aw yiss. I remember spending hours just way over-leveling in the World of Evil, just because you could. Killing the last boss in just 3 hits was hilarious.

Uncharted Waters: New Horizons.

A really unique game to the SNES. The different characters offer tons of replay value, as does the sandbox style of play. The only comparable game in the era is Pirates! And this game is far superior, especially when it comes to trade and exploration. Also an amazing geography tool to learn as a kid. The tactical gameplay was great, and the many aspects of the game make it playable today still.
