In the 1990s, the run-and-gun genre was at its peak. Developers were starting to move toward first-person shooters on PC, but console players were enjoying the fruits of lessons learned from games ...

One of the best Super Mario SNES games was released on this very day, 30 years ago, and it has a remake on Nintendo Switch.

Decades after their release, these games continue to inspire modern titles.

The SNES arrived in Japan in 1990 and came to North America one year later. While the console itself might be getting up there in years, many of its best games feel like they've barely aged at all.

The SNES helped drive the rise of JRPGs, but many games in its catalog are still stuck on the system.
