The 10 Best Superhero Video Games For The SNES

The Death And Return Of Superman

I briefly touched upon this title in another article about underrated video games, but it must be reiterated that The Death and Return of Superman is, hands down, the best Man of Steel game around. Don’t believe me? Give it a bash and then we’ll talk.

Taking inspiration from the legendary Dan Jurgens tale where our boy in blue meets his maker (for a short while at least), this bruising beat ’em up lets you play as Superman, Superboy, Steel, Cyborg, the Eradicator or even Doomsday. Sure, the difficulty level was harder than finding appreciation for Superman 64, but there was something so rewarding about finishing a level in this beastly, unforgiving title.

Creating a good Superman game isn’t rocket science – and The Death and Return of Superman proves it’s entirely possible. All you have to do is let us experience all of Supes’ greatest powers and qualities. It’s that simple, folks.
