When we think about classic SNES titles that deserved a 2D sequel one of the many games that comes to mind is Super Metroid. In terms of 2D side scrolling action adventure titles for the SNES Super Metroid arguably the best game that Nintendo has ever made for the 16 bit console. As badly as people wanted to see a 3D Metroid game for the N64 another 2D title for the SNES would also have been very interesting.

In fact some people wonder if Metroid Fusion could have had more success on the SNES than it did when it was released during the early 00’s for the Game Boy Advance. On one hand a second Metroid game for the SNES could have been a big deal. On the other hand 2D gaming was starting to decline during the mid to late 90’s so a SNES sequel to Super Metroid May not have been as popular outside of Japan back then.
