Just Breed
With it's hip artwork and impressive graphics for the Famicom, this Enix SRPG must have made quite an impression on Japanese game fans when it finally went on sale in 1992. I never even heard of the game until running into the commercials a few years back, but it had some interesting trivia associated with it such as a 3 year development cycle (Extremely unusual in the early 90s) and utilizing a 6 megabit cartridge.

[Ogre Battle Saga] Chapter 7, from the teachings of Ishtar.
Now, the legend resurrects again. The seventh chapter of Ogre Battle (Tactics Ogre). Located far away from the continent of Zeteginia, the Valerian Isles of the West Obero Sea have been shaken by a bloody battle. And now, a single boy has stood up to fight. His name is Denam Pavel...
Implementing the new HERMIT technology, a notion of height is splendidly conveyed across three dimensional maps. Beautiful visuals are illustrated down to the minute details. A ground breaking battle system is enabled though the use of the revolutionary NATS (Non-Alternate Turn System).
Even more realistic and filled with intensity, this completely new Tactics Ogre game is overflowing with immersive charm. Now, games have stepped out towards a new era.
Terranigma / Heaven Earth Creation
Wonderfully evocative cover art work for the final game of the 'Quintet Trilogy,' which never released beyond Japan and Europe. Using the Super Famicom's processing tricks, the game features an outrageous world map that appears not unlike the cover art.
This young boy's curiosity...awakens life on the planet.
When the forbidden door was left open, this boy began a journey guided by fate. Revive the continent, vegetation, living beings and return life to this planet!!

Wonder Project J: Machine Boy Pino
Check out that incredible box art, worthy of a Studio Ghibi cover! Released in 1994, the middle of the Super Famicom's life cycle, Wonder Project J is quite a feat with its rich animation.

Wonder Project J2: Josette of Koruro Forest
Another piece of art worthy of a poster of wall scroll. With even richer 2D animation, this is one of the least likely N64 games. I remember seeing coverage of it in American magazines, but knew even back then it would never get localized.
