Great choices Mike!
Throw in Hagane Un Squadron and Scrambled valkyrie
I got Jurassic Park for Christmas the year it came out. '93? Played it once, didn't get very far. Then one day when my older brother was off with his friends, sat down and played this game through. Took me hours to complete. That was enough though, and never played it again. But it had dinosaurs, which I still love to this day, so, good times.
It's definitely a chore, but hey, it isn't TOO bad.
The original Actraiser is still one of my all time favorite games. It took me a while to find all secrets, but I eventually got good enough to beat it without dying.
Also, Sir Butthole? Really?
Actraiser's bosses all have defined patterns you can learn.
SIR BUTTHOLE IS A LEGEND
Good luck!
@Fortefyre Yeah, but back in my day, it was..."Poopstab"....
Loads of games out there that should be played. Legend of Zelda, Super Metroid, Contra 3, Donkey Kong Country. Too many to list. You are doing a great job on this channel. I really enjoy watching the content that you put out.
Thank you!
Great list! Also big shoutout to ZSNES. I discovered so many games that never reached us in Europe through the same way you did. Chrono Trigger, Illusion of Gaia, E.V.O, etc, etc.
ZSnes was the shit lol. Good to see you brother.
Everyone here likes Actraiser...I will always love Simcity. One of my top 5 on the snes
Absolutely! Same here. I love relaxing games.
ActRaiser is the sh*t!!! One of the first SNES games I owned and a certified classic ❤
Absolutely! It's amazing!
We just gonna gloss over Sir Butthole? 0:47 👀
The hero of Fillmore!
Ha.gane. that's one I've always wanted to play looks so terrific! I love your top 10 videos.
I'm glad you enjoy them!
ActRaiser will always stay with me!! The RPG elements were the heart and soul of the series ❤️
And then they yanked it out for Actraiser 2.
SNES is the best console ever. Final Fantasy 3 is my all time favorite game.
It's definitely up there!
Well, you know what they say about FF3 fans:
they have awesome taste
I loved Actraiser growing up . Just recently replayed it . I remember not caring for the town building element when I was a kid but now I love it. Game stands up good today .
I'm glad you enjoyed it in your adulthood!
I play Super Mario All - Stars a lot when I was a kid and it's still brilliant today. 😀👍🎮
My kids eat it up as well!
There's PLENTY more than 10 when it comes to this legendary console.
Oh absolutely, this series goes on for multiple parts lol.
Put in so much hours on Hagan: The Final Conflict & like you i had to go to my friends house to play this game! He also had Castlevania 4 which blew my mind! To this day this is MY most played game ever! i have to play Castlevania 4 on the SNES at least once a month since it's release! We rented Super Adventure Island quite a bit as we played every game that had the word SUPER before each game! The Lost Levels of Super Mario still kicks my butt to this day! Thanks for sharing your list!
Hagane is a LEGENDARY game, and you'll pay a fine price nowadays to play it on true hardware. I actually learned about it because my friends thought they were playing a prank on me by giving me a repro, but I had no idea about the games worth at the time so the joke went right over my head lol.
Actraiser was the bomb
It truly is!
Heyyyy I was stationed at Kunsan back in the day also. Feb 2000 through Feb 2001. I remember ammo bowls and yaki mandu in A-town as well as 10 cent wings at the club on base every weekend. Of course how can I forget the monthly MOP4 exercises and eating MRE's for a week every month as well. Crazy how time flies. Thanks for the content as always.
I remember ammo bowls, at least drinking them until I couldn't remember lol. The Air Force nuked A-Town into non-existence with shadow public health bullshit around 2018. It's almost barren now, save a few jersey stores.
It took me a long time to accept Jurassic Park for Gameboy to be a decent game after having played the Sega version. I originally thought it was crap, but the more I played it, the more it became somewhat fun. I'll have to try the SNES version with this newfound outlook. Good video as always, some different games than most people have put on their list. Cheers
It's a slow game, and it might not be for everyone lol. I also enjoyed the Sega CD version too.
I'm so pleased to see Mario Paint on here. It was my first music composition program.
Everyone has to start somewhere :)
Great list/analysis! And I will watch any soundtrack-related video from you.
I appreciate that!
Wait, the action sequence scores affect your maximum population?!? 🤯
I had never heard this.
Yep! 22,800 points is needed for max pop in Fillmore, and so on.
Good list! Jurassic Park is the controversial choice for sure. If I were to replace it with a game I know that fits this theme, it would probably have to be Addams Family. A simple yet challenging plaftformer/metroidvania that has tons of secrets. Yes it's made by Ocean too!
Addams family kicked my butt lmao.
Hats off to anybody who got the Mario statue in Sim City. A true achievement.
It's easy to find a seed that works, but the efficiency is HARD.
The secret is to build much more industry than you think is good for your City. Residential areas need industry for people to settle. Also put all industry to the most outer rim of the map so pollution gets lost in nirvana.
I think you did a very good job in high lighting some very good games that aren’t the obvious picks. Kudos to you!
Thank you!
You know, because of your lists, i plan to make a 10 good games to play from NES to PS1 for my son (and i think you'd agree it would be hard to choose). Nothing too complicated or too simple, but fun for him to learn❤
That's awesome! I hope that I can contribute more and more to it as time goes on.
Your list has some great titles here are a few I would recommend: TMNT Turtles In Time, Final Fantasy II, Earthbound, Mario Kart, Mortal Kombat 3, and F-Zero.
Trust me, there will be more as I play more:)
So wait did adventure island 3 come out after super? Loved 3 still my favorite, haven't beaten it yet.
No Zelda bro? I'm surprised.
Also guile can't lose if you continue to flash kick and Sonic boom.
About the same time according to wiki. There was quite a few new nintendo games coming out well after the release of the snes. I was one of the broke kids who didn't upgrade to super until ps1 was coming out.
@@djredshow me too buddy. When everyone got a PS1 I got a Genesis.
There were 3 Adventure Island games that came out in 1992, Super Adventure Island (SNES), New Adventure Island (TG-16) and Adventure Island 3 (NES) :)
@Fortefyre love those games and still play them on my phone and tablets.
Played 1, then beat 2, got 3 for Christmas and never played super.
My suggested must play would be "Metal Warriors" from Konami. The game is side-scrolling mecha combat (think Mobile Suit Gundam) with a unique twist: at any time your character can eject from your mech and find other machines to pilot! There is a pretty awesome single player mode, but the 2P death match is really the best part of the game. This one is genuinely rare and hella expensive, so emulation will likely be the only viable option for most players.
That's awesome! Reminds me of the style that Blast Corps and Space Station Silicon Valley would do on the N64.
Super Castlevania and Contra 3 are some of my favorite SNES games.
Too bad slot machines and mobile games are so profitable, I would have loved to see what Konimi would be coming out with today if their focus was still on console games.
Konami broke my heart with their abandoning of legacy IPs.
OG Guile ruled. He was very very popular back then, too.
I couldn't get into him historically
Sim City and Lemmings were my favorite 2 SNES strategy games along with Populous, even though that 1 doesn't seem to get as much love these days.
I hold a biblical amount of boredom for Populous haha.
Nice list! One of my favorite lesser known games on SNES is Uncharted Waters:New Horizons. Love FF3!
Great choices!
Fun fact: Actraiser was a SNES release title. Also, Yuzo Koshiro did the soundtrack for this game at the amazingly young age of 23
Nice list! I would include Super Metroid, Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Donkey Kong Country, Chrono Trigger, and Uniracers.
Sure was, it was in the first 30 SNES episode I did. However MR. JERSEY COBRA :P, Yuzo Koshiro was 23 when Actraiser came out. His first compositional job was at Nihon Falcom when he was 18, in 1986 lol.
@@Fortefyre my bad. Corrected the age there. Never trust Google AI answers.
It's good to see you around these parts though!
Finally someone edifies Actraiser! 🎉
It must be done!
Final Fantasy VI is still my all-time favorite game to this day, and I played it the year it came out in '94. I was only 5 at the time, but I had some help to understand the game, and it was the first RPG I ever beat on my own. Secret of Mana, Chrono Trigger, those are a couple other JRPG masterpieces on the console, and if you want another really good fighting game aside from the different versions of SF2, Fatal Fury 2 and Fatal Fury Special are solid games! Highly recommend them, if you ever get a chance to play them!
Fatal Fury Special is dope, but it broke my heart and proved to me that Billy Kane is more of a tool when AI controlled then when I can control him lmao.
Personally, I didn't get to play Special until I got a hold of Fatal Fury Battle Archives, Vol. 1 on PS2, but I grew up with Fatal Fury 2. I always mained either Terry, Mai, or Big Bear back in the day. ^^
For me, it happened to be on Antstream Arcade!
I play ActRaiser when I was a kid and it's brilliant and the music is a work of art 🎨. 😀👍🎮
It still is to me :)
I agree with the top pic! I traded in my beloved Amiga for a SNES with SSF2!
Oh wow!
Super Castlevania 4 kick ass. 😀👍🎮
It so does!
@@jamesmoss3424 #1 on my list for sure!
@@KajunGamer awesome. 😀👍🎮
SF2 Turbo is my favorite 2D fighting game to this day..
I feel the same way.
One problem with Final Fantasy 3 on SNES was strange glitches and sudden freeze ups would happen for no reasons. The Game Boy Advance and the later PS1 versions of Final Fantasy 6 were much better.
I've played the SNES version a ton and have never encountered a freeze up. There are tons of glitches with status effects not working or being broken and evasion/magic def stats being busted, but I'd still rather play it. The extra loading on PS1 stinks, and the colors/fonts on GBA are off along with the new translation that I like less. Still, whatever you like, play it and love it!
A lot of these are definitely up there. Final Fantasy III is my favorite in the series. Super Castlevania IV is one of if not the best tradtional level-based Castlevanias. Street Fighter II Turbo was my favorite in the SFII revisions... and ActRaiser is an absolute jam. If only ActRaiser 2 had just kept what worked, because its graphics and sound are awesome.
Jurassic Park would've been a ton better if it just had a save function.
I hate Mario Paint. I don't have much to say about it, but even when it was new, I never saw the fun. I'd rather just have a pad of paper and a freaking pencil.
I'd agree with a lot of what others have said- Super Metroid, Link to the Past, Super Mario World, Contra III, Gradius III, Turtles in Time, and so on. I also love the first Pocky & Rocky, Earthbound, Magic Sword (I like the SNES version over the arcade), Demon's Crest, Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts, Sunset Riders, and loads more. Time spent with my SNES is well spent.
@@bananonymouslastname5693 Strange...the very first time I played Final Fantasy 3 on SNES on the opening with the walking Magiarmors,the screen flashed white,the sound stopped,and it froze up...I had to put the cartridge in several times to get it to play again,then it ran fine.
I never had issues with FF III on the SNES, I DID have issues with FF II, and that was mostly because the battery decided to die and dumped 8 hours of progress lol.
@@Fortefyre Again strange...Maybe I bought a defective cartridge? It wasn't a used copy and none of the other games I had on SNES acted like that? I wonder? Still even with the download times I actually liked the PS1 version of FF6 best.
Actraiser is one game i've completed over and over again, it's a near perfect game imo and while the sequel is overhated, i like that one too. just not NEARLY as much as the OG.
I hate Actraiser 2. Lol
@@Fortefyre i get it, it's a huge departure from the OG, i can understand that rubbing people the wrong way.
The SNES version of JP is so good and underrated. Way better than the Genesis version.
The genesis version is just mean lmao.
@@Fortefyre lol also if you play as the Raptor, you can beat the game in mere minutes. XD
Blackthorne is a great Snes game it is often slept on
I want to say they ported it to the 32X as well!
@@Fortefyre Yeah you could be right buddy
I expected Run Sabre to be on the list because of the footage in the intro. IMO Run Sabre is a hidden gem on the SNES. I agree with having Hagane on the list. Another hidden gem but it is balls hard and mega expensive so anyone wanting to check it out will have to emulate or get a repro. Fun fact: SNES Drunk totally debunked the Blockbuster exclusivity scam as to why the game is priced as it is on Ebay. No game is worth $1,300 CIB. I know, I know, why isn't The Legend of Zelda A Link to the Past on the list? I know, it's on EVERYONE'S list. IMO it's one of the best videogames of all time. I can't think of anything wrong with it. It's the closest thing to a perfect videogame that I've ever seen or played.
I'm actually not a fan of ALLTP, I know it's heresy, but I genuinely didn't enjoy it.
@@Fortefyre Do you have a video explaining why? I could give a huge list of great things about the game, but the time travel mechanic alone is great. Up until that point we hadn't seen anything like that ever in a videogame.
So for me, I was raised on the era of Ocarina so going back was hard, but more importantly, my experience was ruined by people coming in and trying to hold my hand and spoiling everything for it.
Is that a dumb reason, yeah, but that and the back and forth kind of threw me off
Loved this video! ❤
Thank you!
I respect y'all picks👍 & most of all Thank You for not Ranking Them!! Not one game is better because you have more playing time. The Best Game is Ours Alone. The person next to you maybe Favors a Different game. The person sitting arcoss you also Favors another game. It well go on until the end of TIME. There was so much on the SNES that it needs it's own place at the Table👊 SNES has so many games that we would get Lost in the SNES maze. Thanks for The Content Brotha Stay Retro👊 #SNES #RetroFamily #RetroWay Retro brings back the Goodtimes...
The should play/should avoid is never ranked :) Keep an eye out for them!
I think working on the F-16 honestly is way cooler than any SNES game. That said, I would have Super Ghouls N Ghosts & Zombies Ate My Neighbors on my list.
I can't stand Zombies Ate My Neighbors lol
@@Fortefyre Probably all the jet fuel kicking in. 😋
Can confirm.
I agree with most of your list, except for Sim City.
Yeah it isn't for everyone lol
Final Fantasy 3 aka 6 is brilliant. 😀👍🎮
It truly is!
Well done sir!
Thank you!
Man.. that ActRaiser remake pissed me off. I got it when if was announced and its ASS. Why in God's name did they add a bunch of tower defense crap?
Because money. That's all I can think.
Cybernator is a classic play that mate
Absolutely!
You should still do a top 10 best SNES sports games
It's definitely on the list. Throw it up on the community post! It'll have a better chance of coming up!
Ive always wanted to play Actraiser but I can never find a rom that works. Ive played the other 9 here, good choices all around
really? well damn, i wish i could send you a copy, i've had mine for years and it took a while to find a reliable source. sadly Nintendo has since deleted that source's SNES library in their lawyers' endless crusade to protect Nintendo's interests.
Do you have discord?
@@Fortefyre I am yes
I just couldn't get into Hagane. It was brutally difficult. I probably didn't give it enough of a chance. But, definitely not for me...
It is BRUTAL. But sometimes I like overly difficult games if the mechanics aren't bad.
I'm not cool enough to play those, but thanks for the recommends
You're cool no matter what!
Jurassic Park looks like a true lies clone
Haha it is very similar!
Great list! Here are my stand-outs:
ActRaiser is an absolute MUST play! It spans genres, and is massively entertaining. Final Fantasy III is another must-play, but for nostalgia's sake, I'll take Final Fantasy II over its sequel. And Street Fighter II is just SO MUCH FUN.
Absolutely!
Idk about today but as a kid Jurassic Park kicked my A$$ 😂
Haha give it a try again!
Those games look great!
They are truly fun!
You left out Chrono Trigger? What a travesty.
The reason I did, is because when j played it, I played it on the super famicom :) it'll be in another episode.
I too am a fan of Jurassic Park
It's awesome!
What version of Sim City is this? That music is not from the US version.
It's from the unfinished NES version. Lol.
The remaster of actraiser isn't that bad...i think the original is better, but the remake isn't horrible.
Hellllll no, that tower defense plus hero nonsense AND having to do my own lair sealing, they JUMPED the shark lmao.
Thank you for the Hagane suggestion, this game rocks TITS!
DUDE RIGHT?
I beat Super Mario World by emulating it on the super mario all stars compilations Aria said it was good and it was
She would never lie!
Honorable mention .. Flashback
The delphine game? I haven't played it yet!
@@Fortefyre you gotta, one of my favorites
I'm actually VERY weary of Delphine Software games, because they are almost all chores. I have seen footage of it, it looks much more approachable than their other work.
@@Fortefyre yeah I hear that, but worth checking out imo. I loved it as a kid
Sup bro!
Hi:)
You said the 16-bit era of games were too zoomed in. Well, the snes was the worst of the bunch, so what's the dealio?
In the sense of platforming, I do find them too zoomed in, at least in Donkey Kong Country's case.
@@Fortefyre You should make a video about the most zoomed in 16-bit game's.
I like video games 🥰
Me too!
Metal Warriors
I haven't heard of that one :)
This Iist pleases me.
I'm glad!
You haven't found a better jrpg on the SNES than Final Fantasy 3? Chrono Trigger and Secret of Mana would like to have a word with you...
I loathe secret of mana, and I consider Chrono Trigger an ARPG.
@@Fortefyre You can "loathe" Secret of Mana all you want. (For what reasons, I can only assume.) But whether you like it or not; Chrono Trigger is a jrpg through and through. The simple fact that it was developed in Japan and released on the Super Famicom nearly a year before it's Super Nintendo release; solidifies it as a JRPG. Sorry, not sorry. Otherwise, great video.
Mostly because the AI keeps getting stuck on those narrow corridors lmao.
Mr Nutz is cool
I've heard!
Wow I missed super adventure island cause it sucked so bad on nes
Give it a shake!
adventure island shouldn't have made the list there are way too many wayy better games than that, for a similar game i would have easily chosen joe and mack its way better
I make these with every 10 games that fit the bill. There will be a part two and joe and mack could end up on it :)
Don't tell me what to do
FINE :P
MAN, F*** Jurassic Park on SNES, i beat that game and it has the worst ending i have ever seen.
This is true lmao.
@@Fortefyre I do like the game, the pseudo 3d was cool AF in 1993-1994 on a SNES.
I can still here the gas cannisters deploying and Mr Grant going "ough" when he takes damage lol.
Hahah same.
Try B.O.B.
B.O.B is one I haven't heard about before. Might have to check it out.
Why didn’t you get a console until 5th generation?
there can be many reasons, financial limitations, anti-gaming parents, etc.
My dad had a genesis, and a NES, got rid of it in 94. The first console that was MINE was the N64. :)
No Contra 3?
I'm sure it'll show up :)
Actraiser 2 isn't trash don't believe the hype
Hate*
I will die on that hill lol
@Fortefyre me too but the opposite. Literally my favorite SNES game. I think people just got in their feelings because they took out some of the aspects from the first game. But when you look at it as a standalone action platformer it's one of the best on the SNES
Cry like a B? Work on that message.
No thanks :)
Jurassic Park was outstanding when I first played it when my parents rented it in early 1994.
What’s funny, is I beat Lost Levels in SMAS before Mario 2 USA.
Haha nice!
