Hey, remember that game you loved as a kid and wanted it on your newest system with minor quality of life changes? We made a mobile version that kills the style, has a shitty controller layout that you cant change, and its $59.99 more than when it originally released 30 years ago
The fact that SNES games were $60 30 years ago and games are still that price means we are actually getting a deal. Except the physical part is what made the $60 feel worth it, the cart, the full color 30 page manual and sometimes posters! Now games are digital they should be like $10 max from Nintendo.
They were also complete games rather than having content carved off of them to sell as MTX.

Final Fantasy VI could have had such a beautiful post SNES legacy.
Wait...FFVI was for the SUPER NINTENDO??? I love that game, why did I think it was a PlayStation original, along with VII?
Edit: I looked it up and it's blowing my mind that it came out in 1994.
SNES was home to some of the best RPGs. Chrono Trigger, FFVI, Mario RPG, Secret of Mana, Tales of Phantasia. I remember when FFVII came out it was a heated debate of which one was the best between VI & VII.
Shows how timeless the games you listed are, I played most of them in the mid-late 2000s as a kid and never thought of them as "old" like I do with the SNES, lol.
Your thinking of Fanal Fantasy Anthologies which includes FFV and FFVI which were both originally SNES. First FF game on PS1 was FFVII.
Weird from my perspective for someone to think FFVI was first on the PS1 but I grew up playing NES-PS2 during grade school.
Europe actually didn't have FF Anthologies 🥲 I played both VI and VII while visiting my family in Europe, and my cousin had them as standalone games (and I am forever grateful he was kind enough to trust a snot nosed brat like me with his precious PlayStation)
You beat the Nazis but you couldnt beat PAL. Sorry Europe missed out on a great game.
It gets even weirder, as the US only got FF1, FF4, FF6 originally and the latter two were renamed to FF2 and FF3 when they were localised.
The pixel remaster is a solid version. Could have used the GBA dungeons, but the music is very well done.
