The Super Nintendo has a library of games, which were released in plastic encased ROM cartridges. You don't have to go for the big prizes right away.Super Nintendo Entertainment System cartridges. The good news for you is, if you're starting from scratch you have lots of games that are both good and relatively cheap to choose from. Buy beat-up copies of games for less to decide if you really like them and, if so, upgrade later. Save up some cash and make an offer on multiple items for discounts. Real collectors and gamers aren't out to gouge one another. If you're looking to have the tangible real experience keep a vigilant eye on eBay, your area Craigslist and, crucially, forums like this one, NintendoAge, Racketboy and others. If it's just playing then Wii or emulators are cheap. The question is whether you just want to play the games or are truly into collecting and fully experience them. I love collecting for NES (even CIB stuff) but SNES is too far gone for that, for me to go really deep. I would love to buy more but it seems so daunting. I have about 20 SNES games, most of which I've owned since they were new in the 90s and a few I bought about 5 years ago before prices went nuts. Man collecting GB/GBC games spoiled me, paying $10 for one of those games was a lot! I suppose I could play some games on Wii U VC, but I always loved the SNES controller, and I really want to experience these games with the original controller on my CRT TV like they were meant to. SNES, on the other hand, I mostly missed, so I would like to both own the games I remember and play great games I missed out on, but my god would that be expensive. I generally treat my retro collections as a way of honoring my past, in that I like to only collect games I personally played as a kid, or to complete series that I really liked. Super Metroid, Chrono Trigger, Earthbound, FF III (VI), Super Castlevania IV, Turtles in Time, hell even Mario World which came with the system costs more on eBay than 60% of my N64 collection. But man, all the games I have fond memories of are ridiculously expensive. I had a Genesis growing up (no way my family could afford multiple systems), so I don't own a SNES or any games, but my cousin had one and I have so many memories playing DKC or Super Mario World that I would like to own a console and some games of my own. Man the prospect of getting into the SNES scene from scratch at this point is intimidating.
