Expensive SNES RPGs: The Obvious Ones
from Daily Commute Podcast · host Shawn Schaller
People love the SNES. People love RPGs. This creates a popular, awesome crossroads of stellar RPGs, several of which are extremely expensive. Today I feel like musing about the obvious ones. If you don't feel like listening, here's a quick rundown, chock-full of spoilers. Final Fantasy II (IV) & III (VI): They're not the most expensive things here, and they're high-quality, name-brand turn-based RPGs. These are good carts to have, but the GBA re-releases are strong, inexpensive options. EarthBound: It's a little overrated and more expensive than actually rare. However, it's still a great, unique turn-based RPG, and there aren't many other ways to play it. Chrono Trigger: One of the best RPGs of all time is also very rare. This turn-based RPG is fairly worthy of its price tag, but the DS re-release is high-caliber and inexpensive. Super Mario RPG - Legend of the Seven Stars: It's not the best RPG of all time, but it's very good, very rare, very Mario, and is one of the least expensive things from this group. There are so few good ways to play this game that the original cartridge is well worth it. Secret of Mana: This action RPG's unique multiplayer function seems to inflate its price. Still, it's a great game that can't be played many other ways. Daily Commute #12
