- Oh boy, this one was harder than the NES one! There are SO many good games on this list, and it hurts me much more than it hurts you, I promise! Thanks so much to you, the viewers, who helped vote on this video!
Edit: I have NO clue what happened to the audio transition on the first game. If I had the time, I would have rebuilt it from the ground up. Sorry in advance; I know it's a noticeable blemish, and I will strive to do better quality control in the future!

I can tell you were born around when these games were released. Anyone old like me who played these in the Stone Age would not call these overrated. Except maybe DKC. and MK1 can’t be overrated because everyone hated it for being censored.
The way he talked about Zelda let me know he had to have been a youngin I just went back and googled some of these releases lol

Guy shits on 10 of the most groundbreaking games of all time, and my childhood, then wants me to join his Patreon.
I had that thought about him plugging his Patreon.
It's my childhood too you know haha.
Dude i thought the same thing … like nahhh I’m good we obviously have nothing in common
Id give money if i had it to give. Because i appreciate the gusto. And i like idea of funding those that disagree w me. Because its like promoting individualism. 🥰
I just got to the part where he lists super mario world-- i take it all back. (Even the money i never gave.) Off w his head !!!
Well done, even if you made my mouth drop open in shock/disgust half the time 😂😂 Usually i dont like videos that make my heart hurt, but your delivery and rationale were all great. Nice video!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
a lot of these games (especially star fox) have aged badly but were mindblowing when they first came out. The SNES version of MK1 everybody agrees blew goats
Oh absolutely I agree. It's never easy to make an overrated video.
I’m not very experienced with the SNES besides RPGs, but as far as overrated SNES games, my vote is for Super Castlevania IV. It just feels like it takes away what I love about the series, and while a good game, is not the peak of the series like some people claim. Also hard agree that Mario 3 is better than Mario World
Earthbound I think is pretty fun. Sure it’s not on the level of Dragon Quest or Tactics Orge, but for what it is, I think the gameplay is fun enough that the quirkiness brings it up a lot. But then again, I’ve enjoyed the RPGs I’ve played on the system, so maybe I’m just biased towards RPGs.
Thank you for your informed insight! I appreciate you taking the time to explain stuff, and to provide your opinion! Have you checked out Bahamut Lagoon on the Super Famicom? It's great!
Yeah, I feel like the comedy in Earthbound is what elevates it to a cult classic, definitely not the glitchy combat.
I agree. Castlevania 4 was such a huge step down from 3 it is baffling why so many people like that game so much
@@ionface Never had issues with the combat. It's not Dragon Quest III or Final Fantasy V, but I found it pretty fun.
@@thomasffrench3639 Ah well talking about rolling HP, stat overflow, condiment glitch, and food being pretty useless. The point was that it's funny so the quirky combat is forgiven.
I'm not the only one who thinks that Donkey Kong Returns and Tropical Freeze are the peak of platformers. Some say they are the best of all time, and they are not far from right.Those games took direct inspiration and the base gameplay from the SNES Donkey Kong titles. For me they are the most replayable titles from the system and I enjoy all of them very much, specially the first and third.
Oh absolutely, they are solid games, I just think they are overrated lol.
I was 8 when the SNES came out so I gotta disagree with all this. When each game came out, it was literally the best they've ever done graphically and what not. But if I played these for the first time now I'd probably hate them too
I mean I DID play them as a kid for the most part, I just didn't own a SNES.
@Fortefyre I understand. We were lucky as shit to have one. As a third grader, I remember this second grader got one. We'd play at his place and loved it. I think my parents hated that shit and decided to buy us one too, for Christmas
You must’ve had a horrible childhood
Define horrible.
He is right though.
Time to grab some popcorn and watch the comments go insane.
It is interesting what a lack of nostalgia can do. I never played the N64 back in the day, so I could probably make a similar list of all of your favourites.
Please do!
N64 one of the worst aged systems. The 32/64 bit era had some of the worst graphics for 3D games.(2D games like MMX4 look great still.) I'd rather played any other version or a port than the N64 version for the overwhelming majority of titles. It has a controller made for a person with 3 arms. The camera angles often were the worst enemy in these games. I gave away my N64 to my brother in law a year ago or so during the last time I visited him. He was all excited about playing Golden eye as he bought a used copy a store despite not having the system anymore. I made sure bring him mine as I would never miss it as it sat in the duffle bag I brought it for over a decade. I gave him it with all my games. The least I can do for him putting up with my younger sister for past 20 years haha.
You know i definitely value your opinion there brother. My Top 10 Overrated SNES games is 90 percent different. But another great video man!
What would your 10 be?
I'm playing Zelda a Link between Worlds, another game that took inspiration and plays incredibly very similar to the one from SNES. That game is considered the best original game of the 3DS. I think your experience was ruined with A Link to the Past, because the joy of that Zelda is figuring out how everything works, being the dungeons the highlights.
Yeah I agree, it lead to alot of rules being imposed on the channel.
I don't overrate Earthbound. It is a decent rpg, in my opinion, but I agree that I can think of a good amount of other rpgs that I would rather play.
What's one of your favorites?
@@Fortefyre Chrono Trigger is my favorite but I believe some of that is because of nostalgia. I am playing Chrono Trigger+ with the MSU1 enhancement for a different experience. I am definitely enjoying it and find the differences interesting.
That said, when I take my rose tinted glasses off, it doesn't feel as magical as it did when I was a young teenager finding it for the first time and being mesmerized. Even if someone were to play it today, I think they could find things to like and find interesting but it's not mesmerizing compared to what we have now.
I could see that!
Your justified dislike of LTTP makes me sad. It's exciting to watch a friend or streamer play a favorite game for the first time, but railroading them with hints and directions can spoil all the fun. I'll keep this in mind next time I recommend a "classic", and insist they run it blind with no backseating.
Anyway, I'd say Super Castlevania IV is overrated. I don't like the controls. It's not as good as its contemporaries (Bloodlines & Rondo), or as fun as previous NES Castlevania games.
I hate the term overrated tbh.
@@FortefyreYou started it.
@@jaretco6423 😉
I was with you until Zelda. How dare you 😁 I do love many of the games on that list but i get your point. For example SMW is way too easy and compared to mario 3 the level design was way less imaginative. I still do enjoy putting it on every once in a while.
Well said!
Donkey Kong Country was technically a revolutionary title for the time. At the time all the talk-of-the-town was BITS and GRAPHICS.
Nintendo was feeling the sweat as Sega, 3DO, Atari and soon Sony was banging the door with improved hardware tech and Nintendo was far from ready for there next step (the N64), and there rushed side-project to bee the Virtual Boy would prove to be a DOA. Then Rare comes along and togehter with there usage of movie CGI tech and the RX chip, they could on original SNES hardware give the "illusion" of 3D graphics - and it bloody worked! The WHOLE WORLD dropped there jaws of how awesome the graphics and sounds was. In hindsight, yes you can make the argument that DKC is a basic platformer game, but that would be a diservice.
Heck that is what Nintendo guru Shigeru Miyamoto commented to Rare when his Yoshi Island recieved less praise then DKC, that people only liked it more because of the graphics but gameplay offered nothing new! Also with-out Rare and the Stamper bros, the Donkey Kong franchise would likley not exist today.
Super Mario World (?) That is an INSTANT sucsess that can't fail. That is THE Super Mario game that is always most fun to go back too.
It is easy to get back into, the variety is nice and overall holds most RE-VALUE of playing again out of ALL Super Mario games. It just can't fail.
I can't argue it, Wario said so!
@@Fortefyre Amen !!!!
I can not subscribe this list because all of the games that yu called overrated are games that I still love today
And are wonderful memories of my childhood
Which is okay! It's okay to disagree with me :)
Nothing is overrated on the SNES....it's the greatest game console ever created!
Eh I dunno about that! :P
The snes is definitely overrated.
@@Retro_TrollNo it's not. The N64 is.
I agree on smw, its just a watered down smb3. It even has the same bosses.
Mario kart has aged like my grandma, not well.
Earthbound is just a bad rpg with a cool gimmick.
I don't agree on donkey kong country and secret of mana both are amazing but i respect. Your opinion
I would add super metroid. The wall jump is very annoying to pull of and the game is just not as good as say a metroid fusion. Its very basic with bad level design.
There's always some games that cause a stir lol.
Super Mario Kart's still better than Super Circuit and Mario Kart Tour.
As for Super Metroid; the wall jump's one of the only things that would need to be tinkered with in an updated version. Otherwise, I'd prefer a Fusion remake. That's something the Dread developers wanted to do before working on Metroid Dread.
You never need use the Wall Jump to beat Super metroid. It's extra move that helps get to some stuff early, but if you hate doing it, you can leave items still you get the space jump to reach anything it would have gotten you. I replay Super metroid on my Snes mini, and there's a delay that makes wall jumping harder to pull off. I just make it a point only go for items that I only need bounce off the once or twice till I get the space jump. You can definitely get 100% in the game without walljumping though.
Y'all do you, but like I think you're straight up wrong about DKC and LTTP. The DKC series literally gets (unjustly, but still) clowned on for having "too many" level gimmicks. Although I'll say 1 might still qualify, as revolutionary as it is, hiding most bonus rooms behind leaps of faith or identical walls as well as having no extra content for them makes it the only one I can never be assed to 101% complete.
And LTTP I'm a bit foggier on, but pretty sure that's one where you get the biggest use out of using your array of items to solve problems, like isn't there a dungeon boss whose weakness is an item you have to find in a whole other part of the map outside of the dungeon?
I'm a bit foggy on it as well, it was SO long ago, but yeah, I think most Zelda games have been like that. I do think they got more "linear" with their items as time went on though. Don't be afraid to call me wrong! I'm stoked to be told that!
Super Mario World is the most overrated Mario game to me. It can be beaten in 1 hour and completing it is not fun.
Yeah, but it is still a fun one :)
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but unless you were at the ripe age for childhood gaming when these came out, you just wouldn't understand. This list makes it very clear
It’s like if I made a list of the most overrated Atari 2600 games and put pitfall and space invaders on there. Lots of people would roll their eyes at me I’m sure.
^
I totally agree with the SNES Mario Kart,I bought that game and was bored with it within 72 hours and traded it. Just another run of the mill racing game only with Mario characters.
Exactly!
I absolutely HATE it when a game developer does not tone down the difficulty of a game when it's being played by 1 player instead of 4 players. That's why I refuse to buy Nine Parchments and Gauntlet Slayers Edition because they don't decrease the number of enemies when it's being played by 1 player. I saw a UA-cam video of 4 guys trying to beat Gauntlet Slayers Edition and they couldn't do it. If 4 guys can't beat a game, what chance does 1 player have? I was done with the Donkey Kong Country franchise when I played Donkey Kong Country Returns on the Wii. I broke the disc into a whole bunch of pieces and I sent it back to Nintendo with a note in the envelope that read "here's your unfair and not fun game back." Of course they already had my money so they don't care. In this case though it was my mom's money Nintendo had because a bone head Electronics Team Member at Target recommended the game to my mom as a Christmas gift for me. I'll never play a Donkey Kong Country game ever again. If you want to play a balls hard SNES game try Hagane: The Final Conflict.
The Nintendo 3DS version of DKC Returns made the game somewhat more forgiving.
Shame you'll forever miss out on Tropical Freeze either way.
Hagane is one of my favorite games on the SNES lmao.
Super Mario World and Earthbound are my actual two favorite SNES games...
And I can never take that away from you, this is just an opinion. I'm glad you enjoy them!
How dare you talk that way of Earthbound
*shrug*
Mortal Kombat was a catastrophic glitch fest! It was extremely poorly programmed in my opinion. Mortal Kombat 2 is where they got it right.
To call Zelda and Mario Kart overrated just made me call my psychiatrist to book an appointment for you. 🤣🤷♂️When I explained what you said, she ended up booking an appointment herself.
The blasphemy! Lol
Love your work man! Even though, we agree to disagree. 🙏🏻
I am going to school to be a licensed mental health counselor lmao
@@Fortefyre😂I’m still looking forward to a video regarding the lamest movie to nes video games. Total Recall must be there! Lol It was Total BS in my humble opinion. 🤷♂️
So update on that, I am working with a friend who compiled an entire list of them on the NES, and I'm working it as we speak! I haven't forgotten about it :)
A bit surprised that SMW2 is not on this list. As a game it's quite a bit less good compared to SMW. The levels are long-winded, sometimes it's downright boring and it's not as creative as SMW.
I almost decided to include it.
I agree. Aside from the beautiful visuals, bosses & music, I found Yoshi's Island kinda boring. My biggest issue are the levels, difficulty & length. It starts off pretty good for the first 3 worlds. But once you get towards the 2nd halve, that's where it becomes too overwhelming. The levels are very big & spacies, aren't very interesting and unique that stands out. The game throws in random enemy placements and other obstacles that you couldn't react and gets annoying to protect Baby Mario or Yoshi from losing an live. The 100% completion is obnoxious and isn't even worth it. And the levels goes on for way too long. Especially with those darn auto scrolling levels. It tries to much to make an linear game with open scope to explore & collect. But it was very overbloating. I think DKC Trilogy handles all of that far better than Yoshi's Island has. And as far as best Yoshi game goes, I think Wolly World does it the best.
The only two game I agree with is Zombies eat my neighbor and Mortal Kombat. Donkey Kong had wonderful graphics and challenging game play. Mario Kart was fun to play with friends. Super Mario world Kicked off the SNES very well! Secret of Mana was an excellent adventure RPG. Star fox with the FX chip was amazing for its time. Earth Bound is a unique RPG experience. I think Super Ghouls and Ghost is fun, and Zelda being overrated! I strongly disagree. I do not think a game should be considered overrated based on its difficulty. If it was unfair and was overly
difficult to complete and people hyped it up! I would agree that these games would be overrated. But all these games I consider to have a fair challenge that is doable. If a challenging game is considered overrated then I disagree. That's my opinion!
Great take!
Easy games are mostly boring and challenging games should be fun, because if the game play isn't any fun, like Super Ghouls 'N Ghosts, the challenge becomes a time-consuming play on frustration. Some games can still be fun with controls that almost feel broken, if the game isn't too fast paced or twitchy.
@@DancesRainyStreets Eh well said! I do have the game and ya I'd admit there is a learning curve to the controls that can be frustrating at times. But I feel there is patterns and timing to the game. Once learnt the game I find not be as difficult. With patience I think it doable!
@@fallback1935 It's a game i really wanted to like, as Ghouls 'N Ghosts is one of my fave arcade games of all time and i like to favor the Ghosts 'N Goblins series over the Castlevania series, but on SNES it's definitely Super Castlevania IV over Super Ghouls 'N Ghosts for me. In fact, SCIV might be my fave SNES game.
@@DancesRainyStreets Oh ya Castlevania 4 is an awesome game! I'm glad that you did not have that game in your list of overrated game. I think that would have been plain wrong...
Mortal kombat 1 the gameplay was horrible laggy snes.
Even the characters feet when doing a flying kick is up side down.
Mk1 for the snes not just over rated its a load of shite 👎👎👎
Arcade version the actual only good version
I tend to agree for mk 1.
I didn't know I had a list of overrated SNES games until this brought it up.
It should be noted that Mortal Kombat SNES is far from overrated; it's universally agreed to be a sloppy port.
@@tidepoolclipper8657 He explained in the video why it is overrated. It has nothing to do with the port.
:)
I thought super metroid was gonna be number one for a moment.
I don't agree with your list but that's fine as you said at the start it's your opinion.
Secret of mana I love but it feels subjective. Something about the atmosphere and the music but objectively I can say maybe it's not the absolute best. I will always love it though I guess games can be like that!
Super Metroid is a masterpiece.
@@StarBoy62 I also love it. This guy has some of the most popular games! Link to the past and mario world 🤣. That's why I thought super metroid would be there 😛
Hahaha I spared it!
@@Fortefyre lucky for you you'd have hoards of snes fans after you 🤣. Lol just joking.
I already do lmao
SHOTS FIRED
Pew pew!
When you said you don't like top down view Legend of Zelda but liked Windwaker is when I knew your opinion was garbage and clicked off the video
Well, I appreciate you taking the time to comment, you didn't have to, but you did and the fact that you like to voice your opinion, is wonderful feedback! What was YOUR favorite Zelda title?
Zelda overrated?! Get out.
But I live here!
You come across as a bit of an edge lord
Feel free to get to know the real me if you watch my thank you video :)
Super gng is Masterpiece
I disagree on that lol. But I respect your opinion!
Every game has levels that suck that's what makes them fun play a sandbox game if you suck so bad
I hope you feel better.
Is this a joke? if it is, I dont like it.
Nope. Just an observational opinion:)
Stream yourself to anywhere else
I hope you were able to get whatever anger you had out of you in this comment.
NO NO NO!!!!!!!
😭
Secret of Mana is incredibly overrated due to it being a broken, half-assed, and incomplete game. You can't even get the Mana Sword (the whole point of the game's quest) due to a glitch preventing you from getting the final orb. The magic system is really broken because if you get past a certain point in the game, you then can't fully level up your spells. The only good things about it are its graphics and soundtrack...def not its story and paper-thin characters.
P.S. Super Mario World is the greatest game ever made...still as fun your 2,542nd time playing through it as it was the first time.
P.P.S. Ocarina of Time is just the 3D version of a Link to the Past...aLttP did everything (but the whole being in 3D thing) first.
I couldn't stand secret of mana!
New title : Best Snes games ever made.(ok, I give u Mortal Combat lol)😅
You pretty much listed almost every single one of my favorite super Nintendo games. I love how you say I didn’t grow up playing any of these. It really shows. These games were amazing when they came out and you really had to grow up playing them.
I'd rather be honest than regurgitate the "common thought". I hope you enjoyed the video!
He's right about some of them.
Interesting opinions, I feel like you took around the top 10 snes games and put them on your list. I enjoyed the video though and thanks for making it
I wouldn't call them the top 10, I mean if Chrono Trigger was on this, or even FF VI I would have to be crucified for my sins.
You got the guts to do it though hahaha. Not everyone is going to love the same games and that's ok. That's why there are almost 1800 snes games for people to enjoy. I like seeing different takes on games
@Fortefyre u prolly could have got away with tossing FF2 on the list though. The story of that game was japanese rpg drivel but such a ground breaking rpg and bomb soundtrack. Definitely overrated by nostalgia filled fans though.
Calling Zelda ALTTP overrated is crazy. One of the best Zelda Games of all Time, no doubt.
*shrug* I don't enjoy top down zeldas.
#10 DKC. You came out swinging with that pick. Hats-off, sir.
edit:
#7 Super Mario World. When I saw that, I just started hearing "SHOTS FIRED! SHOTS FIRED!"
I am relentless with my opinions lol.
Donkey Kong Country was revolutionary for the time. It was a major improvement for the Donkey Kong series; especially with the introduction of animal buddies (with the system improved in DKC2). Also, the ability to throw the AI controlled character in different ways in the sequels depending on which character you're in control of. While Mario vs DK could be considered the spiritual successor to the old DK games, it's the DK Country games I feel are the ones that shine. The first DKC was graphically impressive for the time; though no doubt the sequels are refined in that department (especially the backgrounds for DKC3). Although I'll say I prefer the GBA remake (also the same for DKC3) over the SNES original; even if it has inferior sound quality and much brighter colors (done due to the OG GBA having no front or back light). Not only does it have a more convenient save system, but also improved most of the boss fights. Though I doubt it'll improve your opinion of the game.
While I prefer almost all of the sequels, I still like Super Mario Kart more than Super Circuit; especially as the later feels even more slippery.
I love Yoshi's Island (along with Woolly World). Yoshi's Island DS is also generally a good time. However, Super Mario World is still a refinement of SMB3. Also, I can't agree with you saying Mario has lost all charm. Besides, of course Nintendo would keep Mario around. He's Nintendo's biggest gold mine and a very flexible IP when it comes to genres.
Earthbound; along with the original, had unique settings for RPGs back in the day. It helps Earthbound ditched the traditional HP system in favor of the rolling HP system; making the sequel more forgiving. Sadly, it sounds like you wouldn't like Mother 3 despite being visually the prettiest. Although it'd be fair for you to really not like the original installment; especially the original Japanese release. On another note, the reason Earthbound didn't sell well was because of terrible advertisement.
The combat for A Link to the Past hasn't aged THAT much. We like the top down-games (especially A Link Between Worlds) due to the dungeon designs and acquiring equipment and using them to not only be able to navigate through more of the dungeons but also gain more options to combat against enemies. Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons even take different approaches with their dungeons; Seasons is more on combat while Ages is focused on puzzle solving. Speaking of the Oracle games, I quite like their art style (same with Link's Awakening DX). As for story in A Link to the Past; it's more than the first two Zelda games which had REALLY bare bones in-game stories. Heck, the story in Link's Awakening DX is actually kinda interesting (there's basically no reason to play the OG GameBoy release of Link's Awakening. Same for Wario Land 2; just go with the GBC version). A Link to the Past also returned to the original formula while bringing back the magic meter from Zelda 2; so it was an appreciated return to form at the time. Side note, you REALLY should've imposed a "don't hold my hand" rule for your streaming of A Link to the Past.
I like Super Ghouls N' Ghosts more than Genesis Ghouls N' Ghosts and the NES version of Ghosts and Goblins. Either way, the series is not forgiving.
Indeed!
DITTO!
you took issue with like, half the games he mentioned lol. that's *beefy* 🥩
Pre-rendered graphics didn't age well, and the snes is the most overrated console ever.
There are fatalities in snes mk1.
While you are entitled to your opinion I couldn't disagree more with your pics. So many of these games are revolutionary in what they did not to mention all time greats for the time. Different ages create differing opinions you would have need to lived in the era.
I did live in the era, just not in the era where I was making any semblance of logical decisions lol
DKC is not as flawed as you say. The level design, enemy placement and speed is based around the closer camera perspective and it controls very well. My main criticism is that finding secrets (not just completing the levels) involves finding lots of invisible stuff. That's not my idea of 'fun times'.
Thanks for taking the time to watch it! Do you have a preference on which Donkey Kong Country you would play if all three were in front of you?
@@Fortefyre DKC1 and DKC2 are my favourites. I would probably choose the original because I prefer horizontal levels. DKC2 is less 'left to right' and seems to be more popular. Both are great 🙂
I think DKC 2 has the BEST soundtrack as well.
DKC was really fun back in the day. Man that soundtrack was just so catchy. Games don't have music like they used to back in the Snes days. It's a lost art form
I’ll give you the other nine. I don’t necessarily agree all of them are overrated, but I can understand why somebody does. But Link to the Past? Nope. Unless you are going to say “people claim this is the best game ever, but it’s only the second or third best.”
Zelda 2 on the NES was the BEST Zelda EVER!!
Great take.
I'm glad you're speaking out your mind. Although i enjoyed some games from this list, I know what it's like forcing yourself to beat a game the majority considers a must play. Life's too short to attmept to enjoy things others tell you to like even if you don't.
I agree completely!
Wow hands down one of the worst opinionated lists I’ve ever seen but other than that I enjoyed the video bro lol
I'm glad I could entertain you! XD
@@Fortefyre definitely got a new sub out of me brother just binge watched 5 of your videos lol
That's very kind of you!
I agree with most, but earthbounds story is 100% NOT generic. It is wacky as hell. But i can see why it is overrated
Just the combat system is bad(-ish); story, music, art and presentation are really good, imo.
@alessandrobaggi6129 yeah, that's all great, but having to fight an enemy that you can't escape from over and over again is just terrible. And the combat is pretty ok; I will always agree with that
I honestly think gamers especially UA-cam gamers just LOVE using the word generic to the point where it's immensely overused, they just use it for the sake of using it lol. Literally every gaming UA-cam channel out there now over uses that word in every video they make.
It's kinda generic but you aren't playing for the story lol
Who can't you escape from outside a couple bosses? And why need? It's already easy
Most of these games defined my teenage years. But you're a funny guy and for some reason I'm entertained by those who whose opinions differ from the mainstream...so it's all good! 😝
Well thank you! Haha
I just think you have terrible taste in snes games. MK totally agree. Ghouls N Ghost doesnt fit the overrated definition, it was never super popular or widely acclaimed to begin with.
I guess, but the important part is to know that I can only rate games based on what I've played, and I offer a candid opinion on it. I hope you enjoyed the video despite the takes!
If those are the games that you feel are overrated, I wonder what games would you recommend on the SNES.
I get the feeling he did not like 16 bit games in general.
I do like 16-bit, but I prefer the SNES. Genesis to me had many copy and paste styled games. I'll try to beat more snes games so I can make a list, but off the top of my head, Hagane is one I recommend.
@@Fortefyre Woah, 16-bit is much more than SNES and Genesis. There was also PC Engine and Neo Geo, along with 16-bit home computers like the Amiga and arcade boards like Capcom CPS and Namco System 2. Pretty much every system released in the late 80's and early 90's. Also, i cannot think of a copy and paste game on the Genesis.
So when I say Copy and Paste, I mean games that have a similar sound and aesthetic.
@@Fortefyrethat’s all systems. There are many unique and incredibly cool genesis games
You should do underrated lists I'm genuinely curious. I'm not sure if you really feel like these games are overrated or just want to roast sacred cows to get a response, but either way I'd enjoy seeing what you feel is underrated just to compare and get where you are coming from better.
I'd love to do a video on that! I'll add it to the list:)
Turned off after listening to your first title and its explanation. Donkey Kong Country was revolutionary during its time for the graphics and music. If you had grown up during this time, you would know of what came before it and how it helped keep the SNES alive for a few more years. Have the years diminished its overall attriveness to return to a bit, sure, but to then call it overrated for what it did for the system is just wild.
I mean it's an opinion, sure it's a trash one lol.
You saved yourself from some bad takes. He basically takes the top 10 Snes games and says they are all overrated.
You started out throwing heat! I love the DKC series and the first two are better platformers than Super Mario World, imo.
I can't stand Secret of Mana, so I completely agree there.
I also agree with Mortal Kombat, I'm terrible at fighting games and I've never been a big fan of Mortal Kombat.
I prefer 3D Zelda games over 2D so I agree with ALTTP. I actually prefer A Link Between Worlds.
Super GnG is on of my top 10 SNES games, I love it.
Two games I think are very overrated are Chrono Trigger and Yoshi's Island. I'm not a huge fan of RPGs so I never make it far into Chrono Trigger. Yoshi's Island is just boring to me.
Great takes, and I definitely cannot take your memories away from you. But I fuckin' HATE Super GNG lmao
I agree with Donkey Kong Country, the first Mario Kart, Mortal Kombat and Star Fox..........
The rest of the games on this list I believe the awesomeness matches the hype. Although I agree with the problems in Secret of Mana and zombie ate my neighbors, I will say that the pros outweigh the cons by far. Never mind Secret of mana having a messed up AI companion system, the rest of the game is damn near a masterpiece. Earthbound is a very dope Game, I just think it doesn't suit your personal taste. Super Gouls and Ghosts isn't really a bad game it's just hard as s***.
We'll see! Maybe my perspective will change!
@@Fortefyre yeah it's just a matter of taste on some of the games. You may never like them 😊. I never liked Star Fox but people swear it's one of the best of all times 🥱 lol
Star Fox is garbage lmao
Heavily disagree with Super Mario World being overrated. It’s one of the greatest Mario games ever made. Starfox sucks I agree. The gameplay and controls are terrible. Mother 2 (Earthbound) is kind of a remake of Mother 1 which we never got until 2015. Mother 2 is amazing in a different way.
I need to play mother, it's actually coming up soon I believe.
actually... super mario world has a much more tight gameplay than super mario bros 3. it really perfected how mario controls and I guess that's what makes it so special.
I can see that.
Yeah but 3 was way longer and had more variety and power ups. World is a notable step down from 3 but certainly not overrated. World was fantastic
Man, this sucks lol. So many of my fav games of all time, Secret of Mana, Earthbound, LInk to the Past, Super Ghouls n' Ghosts.. you just had to make a video making your opinions impossible to respect for no reason, huh :(
I'm SAWRYYYYY haha.
I ranked the top 100 snes games, didn't include Super Ghouls and Ghosts, and don't think I received a single comment about it. I really think it's just a couple retro game youtubers (gamesack) who really like it propping that game up
Maybe!
Yeah who is putting Super shost and Ghouls in their 10 top let alone fifty games? It's just too hard for most people to enjoy. It's not a fair or fun game even. I'd imagine it's a fairly poorly rated game outside of it's cool atmosphere, soundtrack and graphics. I'd assume the majority of people never beat the first lvl legitly, and those who did beat it back in the day used the cheat to go right to last boss and win. Unless it was the only video game you owned you probably were playing something else.
I saw DKC and thought “OK, yeah I agree, this might not be a bad list”, as soon as I saw Mario Kart, I immediately thought that this guy either never owned a snes when this released or had no friends growing up because it is to this day one of the greatest multiplayer games of all time.
The list only got worse from there … SMW and Secret of Mana?? Are you high?
Yeah but there are specific reasons why I feel like those games aren't for me. Thanks for watching and taking the time to express your opinion though, I truly appreciate it!
Now , while I disagree with many of the choices here, given you'd be hard pressed to find better examples on any system ever, so how can they qualify as overrated if they're pretty much the best the genre has ever managed--I'm talking about games like Super Mario World and A Link to the Past for example--I can get where you're coming from to some degree, in the sense that people say exactly what I just said about them basically being the greatest examples of said genre ever, which is a dang mighty claim to make and ripe for being seen as overrating something.
I'd be real interested to see if there's a similar bunch of games on such a Sega Genesis list from you, games that so many people think are mana from the Gods, yet I personally think are totally average once you get over some technical feat that really was only impressive for its time and the hardware it was on. Because, honestly, most of the games people seem to rate highest on Genesis are more about the tech than the actual gameplay in my personal experience. Unless just going fast or mindless button bashing and going through the motions while lots of explosions go off is actually what constitutes great gameplay and genuinely fun times.
Thank you for the well-written comment! I love your perspective on this and I appreciate you taking the time to write it. Overrated episodes are really difficult for me because it is so incredibly subjective. I do hope you enjoy my other content!
I can fully agree with Secrect of Mana. Boring, without any spark.. Secrect of Mana is like generic j-rpg made for being some kind of test cartdridge for companies which want to start they journey into genere.
Yeah I'm not keen on it at all.
Man...I know that these overrated lists can get people fired up but...Super Mario World, Zelda 3, AND Donkey Kong Country? Seriously?! Granted, everyone has a right to their opinion but those are timeless classics! I'd argue that DKC2 is one of the greatest video games of all-time as well. It's simply one of the best platformers ever made IMO. I love the original Super Mario Kart as well. Always have and always will! With that being said, I actually feel the same way about Star Fox and Earthbound so I won't break out the pitchfork over those choices. ;)
Phew, barely survived :P
You are, of course, objectively wrong about A Link to the Past, as that's one of the best games ever made. But other than that and Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts (which I honestly don't think all that many people really enjoy and rate highly), I can agree with this list. :-P
Thank you for taking the time to comment :) I hope you enjoyed the video!
I agree with you about Donkey Kong Country, Zombies Ate My Neighbors, Mario Kart, Mortal Kombat, and Star Fox.
They are still great games in their own way.
Not gonna lie man…I found this video by searching for you playing a specific game…Super Ghouls N’ Ghosts. I still want to beat it very badly, BUT I agree with your take 99%
If you do manage to beat it, good luck, it's a rough one.
I gotta say, it is pretty gutsy to mention some of the classics in this video. Although I don't agree with many of your choices, I am with you 100% in your #1 choice. It's like these new "impossible" Mario stages made in Mario Maker. As long as you memorize the pattern of how the stage goes you will be fine. Granted, it's gonna take a lot of work but in the end it all relies on memorization. And where's the fun in that?
I also wonder how many dislikes this video has?
Thank you lol. It's not a fun video to make because someone somewhere will feel upset about it. It's subjective at best. I think its about 80% thumbs up if I recall.
Even though I might not agree with many of the games you have on your list, you have that right to stick to your own opinions. Every gamer has got one. But that also means as a gamer myself, I've got my opinions too.
I do agree, however, that Star Fox on the SNES is overrated. What was once cutting-edge with its so-called FX chip has now aged like milk. Star Fox 64 was an improvement. Some cheesy dialogue, but to me, it's a minor setback. It was one of the first N64 games I had along with Goldeneye.
I also think DKC1 didn't age well, either. I feel the latter two sequels were vastly superior, especially the bosses which require a little more strategy unlike its simplistic predecessor and I felt the levels got better.
I like Secret of Mana, but it's not without its own share of flaws, like the outdated A.I. that you pointed out. Some of its gameplay, for me at least, was a chore. And the characters could've used a little more development. It's the music scoring that I absolutely love about this game.
As for Super Ghouls 'N' Ghosts? No matter how much this game gave me a severe @$$-beating till I s#@t rubies, there was an usual charm that I loved and it made me wanna come back for more. Then again, I'm a sick masochistic b@$t@rd, but I digress. Maybe it's that invigorating rush I get from conquering a level or beating a boss. I feel each time I tackle it, I get better at it.
I love how weird Earthbound really is with its world-building. It too has its flaws, like some grinding can feel tedious and limited storage space for items. I certainly wouldn't mind a remake of this game where it corrects its flaws. Hopefully, a remake without an outrageous triple-figured price tag sticking out of its @$$!
I love A Link To The Past so much probably because it was my first ever Zelda, so that can very well be nostalgia talking for me. Sure it's not perfect, but what game is no matter its merits? Yes, it has this paint-by-numbers “rescue the princess” plot. That much is true. But what I love about this game was conquering the dungeons, acquiring essential items, the puzzle solving, and oh yes, beating those bosses which never gets old for me.
I will say, however, as much as I love those 2D top-down Zeldas that were the start of a successful franchise, I believe Zelda was meant to be in the 3rd dimension and this is coming from a rather old f*
Thank you so much for a great breakdown and insight into your perspective on this episode! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Some of these I agree with you. Some I don't, I played Earthbound last summer and it brought me back in time and I smiled all the way through. I absolutely loved it even though Im not from America. We missed it in Europe unfortunately. Personally, I had The Secret of Evermore and I loved that game, didn't mind Mana but I didn't think it was as good. I suppose if you grew up with certain games you tend to have bias towards them 🤷♂️
Oh absolutely!
Oh you gotta get the crossbow, no wonder you’re having a bad time 13:21
I admire your balls for putting Link to the Past, Super Mario World, Mario Kart, and DK Country on this list. Your complaints about those games aren't wrong, but for me, they do too many things right for me to consoder them overrated.
I feel your other overrated game picks are justified...Mortal Kombat, Zombies Ate My Neighbors, Super GnG, Star Fox, Secret of Mana, and even EarthBound.
I'm a spicy boi sometimes lol.
Yup, it's official . . I don't like this video or most of your opinions here. Lol 😂 I have been binging your content for the past couple days and I've really been enjoying all of your different top 10 style videos but . . . In this particular video Its clear we don't share similar opinions. And that's ok! However, the title to this video should have been: "How to thoroughly piss off SNES fanboys" 😂😂😂
Sometimes it be like that!
You should just replace the title of the video with "Top 10 soundtracks of the Snes" and keep your list the same except put FF3 at number 1 and you are set. These games aren't overrated if you'll recall these are 30 year old games. They were all the best in class back in the olden days.
I understand, it's not easy to make these videos, they are subjective. As far as the soundtracks, there are better ones, I actually have a video about it :)
alright I was nodding along with some of these like super mario, starfox, and earthbound… but link the past? You need to check the carbon monoxide levels in your home friend
I do need to change out the battery lmao
DKC1 is the only game in the franchise and the only non-Mario mascot style platformer I even like. I disagree it's overrated. I would argue it's underrated because many point to the sequels as being better for which they are clearly not.
I have no problems with the rest of this list including Mario World. Prefer SMB3.
Me too honestly!
I don’t agree with most of this but I’ve always hated Mario Kart. All of them lol. You’re killing me by putting Earthbound on here though. This game is one of the best ever SNES games. And ALTTP?? That’s one of the best Zelda games ever made man!
I'm much more inclined to play OoT Lol
Super Mario World is a HUGE step up from Super Mario 3. The control is far more spot on, and Yoshi himself makes the game shine far more than Super Mario Bros 3 ever did.
Absolutely!
MK on SNES was an abomination. Totally agree with you on Super Ghouls and Ghosts games should be fun to play whether hard or easy not frustrating. There is a difference between a really challenging game that makes you want to keep playing like Mike Tyson's Punchout and a game like Ghouls and Ghosts which is a headache makes you want to break the controller. While A Link to the Past is an excellent game as a long quest game I often didn't want to start from the beginning again so the replay value would never be as high as a Street Fighter 2 where you could beat it in 20 minutes and not take hours and hours to finish. I actually really enjoyed the rail shooter of Star Fox even though you didn't have total freedom of movement. I would say Super Metroid is one game that is a little bit overrated as well once you get the screw attack you don't really have a lot left to do in the game. I kind of wish they had a section where you had to space jump up a cavern with lava chasing you vertically.
These are all great takes! Thank you for taking the time to share them! I think at some point difficulty is just frustrating for the sake of being frustrating and by relying on the psychological affect tied to it, more games are sold, I think it's called the "Barbara Streisand effect"
I agree with Earthbound, Starfox, MK1, and Zombies Ate my Neighbours being overrated. But it hurts my heart to see Link to the Past on this list. But it's all personal opinion of course.
It's SUPER hard to make this list, calling anything overrated is tough!
How can MK1 be overrated? It was widely hated upon release for its heavy censorship.
This is not subjective, you opinion is (mostly) shit 😝 And Donkey Kong still looks and plays great today.
🤣 Yeah yeah
There is no way you had a S.N.E.S in your childhood unless you were born in mid 90s and had a hand me down. Yes in America its called S.N.E.S across the pond in the uk they call it the snes.
Only reason why i say this is because super Nintendo and sega genesis were the big brand competition in early 90's and one huge negative knock on the Snes was the censorship. mortal kombat 1 was not overrated because most people hated the fact there was no blood even the game genie made the sweat red and it still sucked. Its definitely not under rated and if you want to call it overrated thats fine but to call it one of the most overated games on the system when nobody liked it in the first place. MK2 however is far superior to the genesis version. If i was to say a mk that is overrated on the snes id have to say the original mk3 before they made ultimate mk3
The SNES was released in 1991...I was born in 1992 lmao.
No disrespect. I usually love all your content but I have to disagree will majority of your opinions on this one. I understand this is all opinion but man half the games you listed were some of my favorites lol. Either way still love you channel brother. Just had to put out my thoughts
Thanks for sharing your opinion! I totally understand lol. Some of them are mine too!
I understand and applaud the concept of ovverated Snes games, but you don't make a very convincing case... Some of your criticisms even sound complimentary.
I'm sure people will still play them despite me describing them that way :P
Shit. I dont know if MK1 is overrated because it just blows ass. Seems properly rated to me lol.
Haha nice!
I know I'm late, but I'm glad you were willing to make a list that you knew would make some mad. I enjoy most of the games on the list, but the only ones i can't see being overrated in some way are super mario world and Zelda. Either way, it's all subjective like you said
I'm glad you took the time to watch it! It means a lot to me. I'm always scared when it comes time to make Overrated videos haha.
I had 7 out of the 10 games on your list when I was a kid. I agree with SMW. Even as a kid I prefered SMB 3 and still do. As for Zelda you have to play it blind to get the most out of it
I STILL prefer SMB 3 as well.
Earthbound? Ok, you showed your hand on your troll account a little too hard now. I should’ve figured it out at Super Mario Bros.
Hahaha
Having not finished watching yet, what's #1? Super Metroid?
EDIT: Well, Super GNG is arguable, but #2 ALttP? Definitely some trolling hot takes going on.
The only one I really agree with is DKC, from a gameplay perspective. The others I think are properly rated.
Thank you!
I don’t condone bullying
Unless it’s you getting bullied and on camera! lol jk……maybe……
I get bullied on camera daily lmao.
I can get behind DKC being overrated, but not this critique. Oversimplified generally and wrong in parts.
What aspect of DKC is overrated to you?
True story, I beat Secret of Mana on iOS on an iPhone 3 (go check out how tiny one of those are, they feel like a happy meal toy these days).
Oh god, I remember them lmao
You're really trying to make enemies with this one. 🙃 OG Mario Kart is not a good time, I will agree with that. Never seen the computer cheat so hard in a game!
Big facts!
Demon's Crest is also a little overrated.
I kind of dig it though lol.
Did you look up a list of the top 20 most popular SNES games and just pick 10 of them?
No. I did not.
You have to be trying to be a devils advocate just to do it lol. Which I can respect!
Haha, I get tons of backlash, but it's okay.
