[Classic] Under-Appreciated SNES Games

Shadowrun -- RPG -- I don't know if this really qualifies as an underdog, but I haven't really ever heard anybody praise it and I love it to death (granted I've never really looked for people praising it either). It came at a time I was really into cyberpunk, and the whole game is so unusual and freaky. From the bizarre but strangely compelling music to the fantastic portrait art and story, this game is completely off the beaten track. The combat and controls are somewhat weird, but once you get used to it, it's great too. Highly recommended.

Yuu Yuu Hakusho 2 -- Fighter -- As a kid teen, I had no idea this game was related to an anime show, I just loved the unusual combat system and the over the top art. The game doesn't give you the usual 2D fighter side-view, but instead gives you two frontal views. As you perform moves by pushing sideways and then pressing one of 4 action buttons, the view changes to shots of the fighter performing those moves, mimicking fighting scenes from anime. The combat is basically an advanced form of Rock Paper Scissors, but somehow it really works. Takes a bit of getting used to thanks to the Japanese-ness, but nothing a cursory glance at a FAQ or two won't cure.

Wild Guns -- Shooter -- A crosshair-style shooter similar to Cabal, this game derives its charm mostly from being set in a sort of western/sci-fi setting. The gameplay is extremely well-balanced and it's... just pure fun.

How ya doing, buddy?
