    Metal Jesus is one of my favorite youtubers. He seems so chill and respectful. He never interrupts people and is just so nice. Love these videos.

    Hidden Gems for Super Nintendo! These are some of the best and most fun games few people know about. Mega game collector John Hancock shows some of the games he recommends for SNES fans to play and add to their collection.

    John, like a lot of big collectors, gets a lot of comments from people thinking he must be rich to own so many rare games. His comment about how much he paid is a response to those people who think that. Owning rare games usually takes patience, luck and networking. He's actually a very cool guy.

    That IS a lot of money to spend on a cartridge, but some people still want to know what's good and worth playing. Some gamers are just looking for Downloadable games or things to play via emulator on a PSP, etc...

    "Super Aleste" (to give "Space Megaforce" its title outside the US) was developed by Compile, who co-developed "Blazing Lazers" with Hudson Soft for the PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16.

    John Hancock is easily the best guest that's ever appeared on your show. I love the dynamic between John and DMP as well, even though in the couple eps where DMP has run into John at conventions or whatever, the interaction is usually far too brief, or even dubbed over with music. Love the show Metal Jesus, and very glad to see you're still featuring John, he seems like a genuine great guy.

  • @ldrelick
    @ldrelick 11 років тому +3

    Fantastic hearing mentions of Skyblazer, FireStriker, and Space Megaforce! For some more hidden gems - Demon's Crest, Robotrek, and Wild Guns. Super Famicom though, that thing is a gold-mine for hidden gems...

  • @HobbesVoltaire
    @HobbesVoltaire 11 років тому +4

    So glad you're finally doing a Super Nintendo hidden gems series! I'm thrilled to see several titles here that I had never heard of! I would look into Battle Clash and Metal Combat if you haven't already Those two games alone are enough to make it worth owning a Super Scope. Also, I'd say EarthBound, despite having a large following, and many people being aware of it could possibly still count as a hidden gem, because I think a lot of people are aware of it but haven't played it.

    @JP_Wu 10 років тому +13

    "Terranigma", have you played that game? it's absolutely awesome, one of my favorite ever Super Nintendo games to me, and a great jewel to the collection.
    Another one is "Super Dimension Fortress Macross: Scrambled Valkyrie" a space shooter you'd like, it is awesome too.
    Shame they're not in the video ;c

    I always search for Metal Jesus recommendations for hidden gems, not only because of his gaming taste, but he always invites an expert on the field, I mean if a guy owns more than half of the SNES catalogue, I totally trust him when he says a game is good.

      I like the “reality tv show” vibe. It feels like something you could actually see on TV. Most gaming youtubers tend to feel like comedians or journalists but MetalJesus has this unique swnse of authenticity to him, probably because of how he keeps everything unscripted.

  • @johnhancockretro
    @johnhancockretro 11 років тому

    I mentioned this before here, but it started out as a computer game 1982(Apple II) and then was ported over to other computers and consoles. Sega remade the game as an arcade game in 1985.

    Sega remade Choplifter for the arcades, but it originated on Apple II computers. A strange case of the computer version coming out first then getting a port to the arcades.

    • @KitchenerLeslie2
      @KitchenerLeslie2 3 роки тому +1

      Arkanoid is my favorite arcade game ever. I’ve never played it anywhere else that it wasn’t horrible. Regular controllers don’t do it justice. I’ve never played arkanoid on iPad but I have played some clones that functioned decently. I opened an nes game one Christmas morning and saw .....oid. Got so excited! It was Cybernoid. Mom, I asked for Arkanoid! To this day she thinks she bought me my favorite arcade game ever, I couldn’t tell her she goofed. I had some fun with Cybernoid anyway.

  • @RetrophileTV
    @RetrophileTV 11 років тому

    All excellent choices. Here's a few of my personal favorites:
    Pieces - An Atlus-localized, competitive jigsaw puzzle game with Mario Kart-style power-ups. Highly recommended and very affordable.
    Blackthorne - Blizzard's super-dark, super-violent nod to games like Prince of Persia, Out of this World, and Flashback. An amazing game once you figure out the controls.
    Kirby's Dream Course - The Kirby game that I feel gets so overshadowed by Kirby Super Star. It's 2-player mode is often overlooked.

I'd love to see you make ones for the N64 (please, please, please make an N64 Hidden Gems video!), NES, Genesis, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, DS, Arcade, etc. Perhaps you could also do genre specific videos, like Platformer Hidden Gems, Shmup Hidden Gems, Run 'n' Gun Hidden Gems, RPG Hidden Gems, Puzzle Game Hidden Gems, etc.

  • @TXFDA
    @TXFDA 9 років тому +5

    Emulation is your best friend for finding hidden gems..or..at least games that are still fun to play that aren't well known. I know, some people hate emulation, but you can't deny how convenient it is, or how easy it is to find new games to try.
    I have the entire SNES rom set on my computer. And I've slowly been going through the US list, just trying out games that sound interesting. So far I've found at least a few that aren't bad that I've never heard of.
    Full Throttle Racing
    Bio Metal
    Blazeon
    Bonkers
    Brain Lord
    Brawl Brothers
    Captain Commando
    Cutthroat Island
    Are they the best? Hell no. Are they decent enough to try out? Definitely. And I think that's the kind of game that gets hugely overlooked. Everyone always wants the best. Whether it's the best of the best, like Mario and Zelda, or it's hidden gems that are the best of the lesser known games. But you never really hear about the lesser known games that aren't quite as good, but are still fun to play.
    Another game I love that you barely hear about is Congo's Caper. It's a bit more well known since Jon Tron did a video with it, but it's still not as discussed as it should be.

    • @justaguitardude
      @justaguitardude 9 років тому

      +TXF thanks for the recommendations.. i too have the rom sets. i grew up with the nes, snes.. unfortunately the only way we could try new games.. was to rent them at the local store.. i was lucky to have that.. as i grew up poor so i only got a new game for my birthday, Christmas, or when my grandma came to visit.. but i had no problem mowing yards to rent games over the weekend.. i would spend two days trying to beat the games.. sometimes we rented complete garbage other games were great and that is how i knew what games to ask for. its weird to see how the gaming industry has changed. have a great weekend.. this weekend im gonna play some wii u, err i meanBayonetta.. such a fun game. one thing i do need tho for these emulator.. right now i have a usb, version of the nes, and snes.. but im thinking maybe i should just get a xbox controller and use one controller for all my emulated games.. it gets old having to dig out controllers depending on my mood. peace.

    • @TXFDA
      @TXFDA 9 років тому +1

      Chris c Xbox controllers are great for emulation. I use a 360 controller for a lot of stuff. It's great for N64 and PS1 games. But I also have a USB SNES controller that's great for pretty much anything before PS1 and N64. It's fun to use for Mame emulation too.
      If you do get a USB SNES controller, I'd suggest finding the Buffalo brand one. They're great. They also make a red/gold Famicom themed controller with the same amount of buttons as the SNES one.

    • @justaguitardude
      @justaguitardude 9 років тому

      thanks for the tip. yeah i dig the famicon looking one. i already have a snes USB controller.. but not one of the japan style.. i will order one now. laughs. so is the xbox 360 plug and play? i just want to plug into windows with and be done.. thanks for the tip on brand.. thankfully the ones i bought were buffalo.. so looks like when i bought the regular and snes controller i got a good brand. rock on.

    • @TXFDA
      @TXFDA 9 років тому

      Chris c If you have a 360 controller with a cord, it should just be plug and play. Let it install the driver automatically and stuff. And it should work just fine. It helps that Xbox is Microsoft, so it's set up to work easily with a windows PC. Hell, most indie games on PC nowadays are set up to work specifically with 360 controllers.

    • @justaguitardude

    YESSS!!! Hagane! was waiting for it.... the first game I owned on the Super Nintendo, second was Super Metroid, but it something I've never gotten rid off... and one of my favourite title, the Music alone is just amazing!

    I am missing some rare and some common games for the set. Aero Fighters & Wild Guns are a few rares that I am missing. I am missing stuff like Ultima Black Gate as well. I have collected what I could get on a tight budget. One day I would love to have a full set.

      Seriously? If you took all of those parts it would be like 5-10 seconds of the video. And the value is part of what makes it a "hidden gem". The way I see it is, if you see that gem at a garage sale: pick it up! Then act like it's worth $5.

    Choplifter was actually an arcade game though, it was in my local Fun & Games when i was a kid & of course I was pissed off at how much better it looked then my 7800 version, that I still enjoyed despite not having alot of the content of the other versions. If I remember correctly, from what I read recently it did hit the Apple originally before an arcade version was made...& yep, the SNES version here is fun..Been hoping to try Choplifter HD for the Playstation Network 1 day too

  • @TheCompletionist
    @TheCompletionist 11 років тому

    Its nice to see some obscure snes titles even I wasn't aware of. Its good to see some snes shoot'em ups get some recognition as well, generally a lot of the shooters for that system are highly ignored except for the big ones. Its a good video nonetheless.

    At one time I had 600 SNES games.
    Nice video. I think most people know about Metal Warriors. Awesome game but I don't think most people have heard that its the sequel to Cybernator. While Metal Warriors is expensive, Cybernator is not.
    Peacekeepers. Fairly scarce. Not highly desired or well known. Good Jaleco brawler.
    UN Squadron. Great Capcom Shooter. Called Area 88 in Japan.
    Saturday Night Slam Master. Great 4 player wrestling game. Over the top intros, and moves. Made by Capcom.

    Rather excellent video as always, Metal Jesus! I was really excited to see this one, since I've been planning an SNES collection. Everybody knows the usuals, but this was a great look at great games I haven't heard of before. Thanks.

  • @caprilaser3
    @caprilaser3 11 років тому

    Awesome video and will definitely go and check a few of those out! One hidden gem i would recommend would be Demon's Crest. It's becoming very expensive now but has solid gameplay, amazing graphics and soundtrack! One of my prized games in my Nintendo collection.

    Space Mega Force was developed by Compile. they did in fact make several shooters including Blazing Lasers. They had their hand in The Guardian Legend for the NES. Gun Nac and Zanac are some other titles they developed. They are famous for their shooters for sure.

    Metal Jesus, thank you so very much for doing this. Ive been a pc gamer since my firs 286 right after my NES, was spending more for graphics cards than the rest of computers value and besides iRacing i got bored of pc games, its in a strange transition, in 10years ill go back when tech catches up with my needs. Anyhow, as i was a kid, i never had the money for games, for SNES and NES, had like Flinstones and little Samson which are my favourites and maybe 10 more games (which i just found out are super rare) so i was missing out on a great bunch of games back than, and because of people like you two guys, i got my love back for simpler games back. Though im emulating on my android phone with converted xbox controller that holds my phone (its super cool, mad out of a couple of screews, an old alumibium arm braclet, some soft pads and the "hot snot" glue), and im having a blast almost as much as when i put together my full on racing simulator and iRacing for the first time with 3x27 inch screens and all those bells and whistles, these games just have so much to offer that evem the most hi tech racing simulator can not provide. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for doing this and letting people know or remember the good ol sdays... besides your content is my prefered channel when im sick, hungover or just bored as hell, you always cheer me up with loads of positive and nostalgic feeling and memories. YOU DO ROCK MAN !!!

  • @Mayhemerz
    @Mayhemerz 8 років тому

    Most I've ever paid for a SNES/SFC title was $85 for CIB Earthbound and 120 Euros for CIB Rendering Ranger. Obviously both have gone up ludicrously in value since. Most of my 150 odd US and Japanese SNES collection was bought at the time for the going rate of new games (so $50 usually) or way way less in many cases ($10 for CIB Super Metroid anyone).
    My favourite obscure SNES title that deserves more attention? Umihara Kawase. Beautifully rendered, typically bonkers Japanese, insanely addictive, and a joy to play.

  • @SpanishFly120
    @SpanishFly120 11 років тому

    Damn, those are some good hidden gems. There's a bunch on SNES that people don't talk about these days that were totally really good. Stuff like Lufia 2: Rise of the Sinistrals (the series is kinda forgotten about), Robotrek, Darius Twin, Axelay, arguably Breath of Fire 1 as well. But if you like Rock 'n' Roll Racing and want a true hidden gem like it that NOBODY talks about, try Biker Mice From Mars. That game is amazingly fun.

  • @retrosoul8770
    @retrosoul8770 8 років тому

    I bought a reproduction of *Hagane* about 2-3 months ago and man...that game deserved a full US release because it is no doubt a *Top 10 Snes game imo*. It is amazing, probably the most technical 16-bit controls I've ever encountered, very crushing but fair difficulty and an overall blast to play. Shame it's so damn obscure it is such a fantastic game.

  • @zephc
    @zephc 8 років тому

    Here's a list of the games:
    Firestriker
    Space Megaforce
    Legend
    Choplifter III
    Run Saber
    Skyblazer
    R-Type III
    Hagane: The Final Conflict
    All of these looks pretty great
