The Super Nintendo produced a treasure trove of fantastic RPGs, a couple of which continue to be fondly remembered as some of the genre's greatest masterpieces. The jump to 16-bit hardware allowed studios to craft immersive worlds capable of telling detailed storylines featuring expansive and personable characters. In some ways, many RPGs released during this era of gaming have aged better than the genre's early 3D offerings found on the PlayStation 1, Nintendo 64, and Sega Saturn.
