Is anybody making new SNES games?
There is. But it doesn't get much traction for some reason. Maybe because working with SNES remains hard, even with a modern toolchain, and you'll need to deal with assembly a lot of times to get decent performance, much more than with Genesis.

- PVSnesLib 4.0.0 (library to code in C or ASM for SNES)
- Dear developers and hardware engineers of reddit, It is possible to develop new games for old consoles? Like the SNES or DS for instance. If it is indeed possible, what tools would be required?

"Hello World" on SNES
I 100% recommend starting with C and PVSNESlib (https://github.com/alekmaul/pvsneslib) as suggested by others redditors.

Is it possible to create your own SNES game?
SNES coding is hard as fuck and probably the worst way to learn programming if you start from scratch. It might be a little less painful with a C library like PVSneslib (https://github.com/alekmaul/pvsneslib), but you'll eventually have to learn 6502 assembly and read tons of documentation to harness SNES programming.

A simpler time
PVSNESLib for example provides a toolchain (some of it indeed being pre-written assembly "headers") that does in my experience allow for the development of fully-featured SNES games pretty much entirely in C.
