We're into the next generation of consoles this month, and rather appropriately given the recent release of the SNES mini, we're looking to find the top 10 games for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System.

If you need a reminder, here's a list of SNES games for you.

Just list your top 10 below (each counts for one vote, so ranking them isn't important).

Voting is open for a month, and will close on 30 December.

This was my first home console, so I can feel the nostalgia rising. I look forward to seeing the nominations.

Donkey Kong Country 2
Donkey Kong Country 3
Super Mario Kart
Super Mario World
Super Mario Bros.
F-Zero
Mortal Kombat

1) International Superstar Soccer
2) Zombies (Ate My Neighbors)
3) Super Smash TV
4) NBA Jam TE
5) Super Tennis
6) Super Mario Kart
7) Stunt Race FX
8) Killer Instinct
9) Mortal Kombat

I was always more of a Sega guy at the time and, even though I can appreciate classics such as Super Mario World and Zelda, I just haven’t played enough of them to place them on my list.

I never had a SNES but I've played loads of SNES games via emulation and GBA remakes/re releases over the years so I can make a full list this time.

Earthbound
Yoshi's Island
Super Mario World
Donkey Kong Country
Super Metroid
F-Zero
Killer Instinct
Super Street Fighter II
Final Fantasy III
Unirally/Uniracers

Super Mario World

Legend of the Mystical Ninja
Lost Vikings
Earthworm Jim
Pocky and Rocky
Spider-Man and Venom: Maximum Carnage
Sunset Riders
NBA Jam TE
Yoshi's Island

ITT: People listing the lesser of the three DKC titles.
