Welcome to VirtualSuperNES.com

VirtualSuperNES.com is the premier online destination for playing classic Super Nintendo Entertainment System games like Super Mario World, Donkey Kong Country, Super Metroid, LoZ: A Link to the Past, Tecmo Super Bowl, Mega Man X, and many other great SNES games, whether they be imported, homebrew, or even the elusive unreleased games.

Unlike similar websites, VirtualSuperNES.com is able to provide classic Super NES games legally. We can only provide you with classic SNES games that we have an original cartridge of, which have either been bought out of pocket or kindly donated by Players Like You™. If we don't have the games in our possession, we can't have them online. VirtualSuperNES.com is powered by the world leader in emulation software, KryptonWare Solutions.

Pardon Our Mess: A Note About Server Outages

Posted on May 16, 2012.

For much of the day today (Tuesday, May 16th, 2012), our control server has been offline due to a hardware failure. The engineers at the datacenter were aware of the problem within minutes of it happening, and new hardware had to be purchased in order to repair the damage sustained. So, a thank you is in order for the datacenter team for being on top of the situation.

I would like to mention at this juncture that we have posted information and status updates about this outage on Twitter, and would encourage all of you to follow us on Twitter so we can keep you informed about additions of new games and information about (hopefully infrequent) server outages.

Thank you for your continued support of Emulation Collective.

Request Fulfillment II: Electric Boogaloo

Posted on May 14, 2012.

As we've mentioned previously, we're allocating our games budget for VirtualSuperNES.com to prioritize requested games, instead of making bulk purchases of games that aren't necessarily in high demand. As a part of this effort, we're pleased to add Axelay, Bubsy in Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind, Bust-a-Move, Death and Return of Superman, The, NBA Hang Time, and Wings 2 - Aces High to the website today.

As I frequently do, I would like to emphasize that these game additions would not be possible without the donations of Players Like You™. Emulation Collective relies heavily on the generosity of our users in our mission to build the largest freely available games library in the world, a task that has been hampered somewhat in the last year by substantial inflation in the used games market, particularly used games for Nintendo systems. If possible, please consider donating your old videogames to Emulation Collective, or donating a few dollars to help us buy more games.

Thank you for your continued support of Emulation Collective.

Tell Your Friends About VirtualSuperNES.com - Now With Cards!

Posted on April 15, 2012.

Here at Emulation Collective, we attribute our ongoing success to our users telling other people about our websites. Most of the time, this happens via social networking websites, email, web forums, or instant messenger. But there certainly are situations in which you may want to tell people about us in person, which can be very slightly difficult, as Emulation Collective runs three websites, none of which have terribly short URLs.

So, we've found a way to fix that problem: Business Cards. Yes, now you can request a free pack of 12 Emulation Collective cards that you can carry around and hand out to friends, acquaintances, and random strangers!

You can view the design of those cards here. Offer good for a limited time only, while supplies last.

As always, thank you for your continued support of Emulation Coillective.

Request Fulfillment I: The Phantom Menace

Posted on March 28, 2012.

Due to the large number of specific requests for games on VirtualSuperNES that we received from the survey at the beginning of the year, we've pivoted our focus to adding more requested games, instead of bulk additions of games that are not necessarily in high demand. As a part of this effort, we're pleased to add Kirby's Dream Course, Lufia & the Fortress of Doom, Road Runner's Death Valley Rally, and Tetris Attack to the website today.

In addition, Super Shadow of the Beast and Universal Soldier were also added to the Unreleased Games section.

For the record, I would again like to emphasize that these game additions would not be possible without the donations of Players Like You™. Emulation Collective relies heavily on the generosity of our users in our mission to build the largest freely available games library in the world, a task that has been hampered somewhat in the last year by substantial inflation in the used games market, particularly used games for Nintendo systems. If possible, please consider donating your old videogames to Emulation Collective, or donating a few dollars to help us buy more games.

Thank you for your continued support of Emulation Collective.

Shape-Shifting Fire-Breathing Dragon Guy

Posted on March 4, 2012.

Here at VirtualSuperNES.com, we're very pleased to be bringing you Breath of Fire and Breath of Fire II. This series  was highly requested (along with requests for more RPGs in general) in the survey conducted at the beginning of the year, and we plan to bring you more of the requested games across all Emulation Collective sites in the near future.

With the addition of these two games, we're now up to 16.67% for Games Project 2012. You can help us reach our goal of adding a game for every day in 2012. We need you to help us by donating your old videogames to Emulation Collective, or donating a few dollars to help us buy more games. With your help, we can realize our dream of making Emulation Collective the largest freely available games library in the world.
