The SNES had 1000's of games and probably the system with the most highest rated games out there. 2D action games are some of the best games to have ever came and the over head 2d games where ace also.
Look at the first 5 Mario games. They are classic. 1, 2, 3, World, and the other one I can't remember it's name. They are the best platform games you can ever find. Far better then any buggy 3d one out there.
And what about Sonic 1-4? No 3d game can match the rush it can give you. Being able to run though a course so fast that you have trouble making out what's happening and being able to kill things and jump bottomless pits at the same time. You just can't match the rush that you get from those games.
What about Zelda? Sure the ones on the N64 were great. But have you ever seen the SNES one? That was total class. And what about RPGs? The SNES had some of the best RPG's that have ever been made. Chrono Trigger and FFVI to name of couple of them.
And lets not forget Mega Man and Metroid. You can't beat their 2d action. Sure you have 3d versions but they totally suck against their originals.
And lets not forget about Metal Gear. It was originally on the NES and it was just as good as the Metal Gear Solid series.
And if you look at it. There are more spots games now then there was back then. Makes lots of since as making a 2D sports game is harder then a 3D one. Hell look at the new PS3. Most of the games on it at the moment are sports. ;)
