This is my Super Famicom games selection. Most of the time, I prefer Japanese version for both 60 Hz and non censored content.
Meaning of the columns :
- Save : tells whether the game provides with any saving mecanism
- Exp : tells if the game cartridge has a supplementary hardware inside
- Nb Player: indicates the number of simultaneous players
- Region : tells on which region the game has been published
