What games are compatible with Super NES systems?

karenocker · 12-13-2004, 08:36 PM

I have a "Super NES Control Deck", model no. SNS-001. Which 'game cartridges' are compatible with this system? Do ONLY the "Super NES" game cartridges work with it? Do the "standard Nintendo" game cartridges work with it? I could sure you some clear direction on this, so I could purchase the correct game cartridges for my child this Christmas.

Thanks!

Only games marked "Super Nintendo" will work directly with the Super Nintendo system, but you can also play original Game Boy games, Game Boy Color games with a black cartridge (ones with a clear cartridge will give you a message saying it's only compatible with the Game Boy Color), or any Pokemon game except Crystal on the Super Nintendo using a device known as the Super Game Boy. The Super Game Boy goes into the Super Nintendo just like a regular Super Nintendo game, but has a slot on the top where you can insert Game Boy games.

Absolutely no Game Boy Advance games work with the Super Game Boy. You will need a device for the Gamecube called the Game Boy Player if you wish to play Game Boy Advance games on your television. The Game Boy Player also supports those Game Boy Color games with the clear cartridge, but some do not function properly.

Where are these lemmings going? The Super Nintendo Super Shire! Hop in line and follow them there!

CK's just a bundle of help today, isn't she?

Yeah, that's pretty much it right there. What kind of games are you thinking of picking up anyway?

Ebay had shown some 'regular Nintendo' games for sale, but they are listed in the "Super NES platform" area, which is why I was so confused. They look relatively similar, but I wasn't sure if they would work together or not.
