Funny you say what you did at the beginning of learning problem solving. I’m capable of remembering my way around or back tracking towns and roads I’ve never been to before when on road trips or vacations to the shock of my family/friends. I swear I have amazing navigation skills because of Zelda:LTTP and Super Metroid
Had to re-upload. Here's the previous comments: -Baby Back Maniac I gotta be honest, this kinda gave me the feels. I have never really thought about this before since I'm not really a gamer anymore (I haven't played more than Wi Sports or Beat saver since my kid was born). Now you have me thinking...I'm a little older than you so I remember when dad brought home an Atari when I was about 5. He always loved that kinda thing. We had missle command, pitfall, and a few others and the kids across the street had that famous terrible ET game. When I was 12 I went to a new school and had a hard time making friends. One of the ways I ended up bonding with them new kids was with Legend of Zelda on NES. This was before the internet so it was literally just a topic of conversation but it gave me an opportunity where I kinda wormed my way into that group of kids (now over 30 years later they are some of my best friends.) In college it was PS and the game of choice was NCAA football...It was epic and an incredibly fun part of college. I know this seems dumb to say now (because obviously now games are set up for stuff for socializing) but back then they were still largely thought of as the entertainment equivalent of eating frosting (an indulgence) and I never really realized how valuable it was until you started injecting it with nostagia and smoking it with Memberberrie wood.

I love Pokémon Puzzle League and Tetris Attack. I bet I am one of the best players in the world… maybe top 20 player in the world … in my mind. Oh I’d play you. I live near Burlington, MA.

I returned Jack Nicholson Golf that I got for Christmas for it. An RPG no one mentions that I enjoyed is 7th Saga… oh good you mention Chrono Trigger… I used to play over and over again for all the endings and collect the tabs for stats. I tried to max all the stats. - way too much reading the prompter eyes
@@RedCowEntertainment - Sure. I've actually met up with some other youtube video game channel in Lowell to play Tetris Attack before the pandemic. I'd love to play again.
Favorite 16 bit explosion. Chrono Trigger, 1999, the end of the world. So much massive destruction, the screen starts losing transmission and glitches out. Great video! I'm getting a kick out of it
It's an awesome moment. So much so. when I saw it in 1996, I was dreading 1999 because I thought Lavos would destroy us all. turns out, all we got was the y2k bug, but that didn't do anything. Now I miss Lavos.
Incidentally, I have informed many of my colleagues at work about your youtube channel- both engineers and technicians. EJ, you so deserve to have 100K subscribers!
Earthbound was always my absolute favorite game ever, across all systems.. it was just such a special game to me and evokes so much nostalgia and happy memories. Also, I’ve never personally played Mother 3, and honestly didn’t even know of its existence until like less than 10 years ago, and I discovered it here on UA-cam. I watched let’s play channels do play throughs of it once the English translation made it available to the west. But yeah, I WISH I had the chance to play it back when I was younger because it’s right up there with Earthbound. Some of my other all time favorite SNES games in no particular order, are Zelda a Link to the Past, Super Mario World, Secret of Mana, Illusion of Gaia, Ken Griffey Junior’s Major League Baseball (gotta play 2 player), Metal Warriors (2 player battle mode.. so much fun), some of these games were so much more fun because my brother and I would play against one another. The 1 player mode isn’t the reason I loved them so much… Uniracers is another game that makes my list due to the amount of fun I had playing against my brother.. Another 2 player game that was really fu€king fun was the NHL games.. Can’t recall which one I had, NHL 94? 95? 96? Or 97? It’s one of them.. come to think of it actually, I think the NHL game we had might have been the Genesis version. Then there F Zero….a few more games, hmmm.. Donkey Kong Country, Mario Kart, Street Fighter… how many is that? I’ll leave it there, even though I know I’m definitely leaving out some. There are a ton of awesome games that only don’t make my list because the Genesis version of them are better. But yeah, the SNES is probably my favorite system of all time because of all the great memories it gave me. The SNES was a huge part of my childhood and I really cherish that. Same with the Genesis, but the SNES will always reign supreme for me.
32:09 is just good comedy delivery. Great list. Been enjoying going through all the videos. After the Donkey Kong cabinet build video my respect is through the roof on this channel and the range of content.

Awesome video! i can feel the love you have for these games! Hopefully i can get to this level of storytelling on my channel someday! keep up the good work
It's nice seeing how much overlap there is in our favorite SNES games, way back when it felt like I was the only person that appreciated games like Earthbound/FF3(6)/etc.
I almost accidentally happened upon your UA-cam site while watching grilling videos. Your barbecue grilling videos are outrageously hilarious. Okay, you brilliant and sophisticated man, would you ever consider preparing lobster tails on one of those cheap grills, or even the red Weber or Weber Summit grill?
Just started watching the video. The SNES was the first console I ever played (a hand me down from my uncle) I fell in love with so many of the classics, Donkey Kong Country, Super Mario World, Fzero, and many more. Great video, always impressed by Red Cow Entertainment 👌
Ej, great work!!! I love everything you do! Every time I play Mario 64 I can hear the Load album from Metallica! I got them both for Christmas 96 (they we're both released a couple weeks apart in June 96)
I have played actraiser! It’s a great concept, the mix between town simulator and platformer. Yeah even though I’ve been playing a lot of beat em ups recently on my home arcades, growing up I was really an RPG and platformer guy. The only beat em ups that really captured my heart was river city ransom on the nes. And TMNT 2 the arcade game on the NES.
I think Gaia had a more relatable story for people not only because of the writing but how it centered around a group of friends. Terranigma was just a guy doing the world saving thing pretty much alone, it's for people who like the mechanics of a game.
Living near the Worcester area, That's Entertainment has been a wonderful source of joy for myself and now my kids. I am assuming you are a WPI alum given the engineer reference.
I had to squint when you showed That's Entertainment. Park Ave. We probably went to different schools but in the same New England city at around the same time. Cheers!
Final fantasy 4 and 6 (2 and 3), secret of mana, super mario world and Mario kart, turtles IV, super Metroid and so many others. Unbelievably good video game console and library of games.
I remember Actraiser blowing my mind when I rented it. Pilotwings and F-Zero were also unique during my SNES days. The mode 7 and music, specifically. I was late getting mine (maybe once N64 came out?) but friends would bring theirs over and we would play.
Can relate. I only had a nes and Atari 2600. My rich friend had the super nes. And when I went to his house it was super Mario world and final fantasy.
Gotta say, this is a solid list. The SNES has a tremendous library for JRPGS. My heart has a soft spot for Kirby Super Stars, Killer Instinct and Mario Kart, but it’s hard to boil them all down to a top ten.
Man oh man...I remember I had a report due for some class senior year of high school, and I half heartedly did it on this word processor my father still had at the time with orange font on the included screen. I phoned it in because all I wanted to do was play a rented copy of Megaman X3, and watch A nightmare on Elm Street part 2 on VHS. Funny how MMX3 reminds me of all that.
I had to give my snes to my cousin when the n64 came out. Only had a handful of games including a bizarre porky pig one. Years later I got a psp and someone showed me how to get emulators running on it. Spent that summer working at a camp and discovering many of the great games the snes library has. Chrono trigger is #1 by far.
SNES is the greatest system of all time, something about super nintendo games feel more "video gamey" than games of other eras at least to me. Like it is what I think of when I think of a video game. Personally my favorites are super mario world, chrono trigger, link to the past, kirby super star, super metroid, and super mario rpg.
Nice vid & list. Incidentally arent u the guys that goof on AVGN pronunciation of "Super iNtendo"..?Am I buggin or do u pronounce it just the same as him..?! 🤔 Pot➡️Kettle=Black⚫
As an adult man with a family I can't imagine how you ever had the time to make this video let alone capture the gameplay, surely you must've had to hire 4 large untalented lackeys to play the games, write the script and time travel to create the memories for you while you affix tripods to your basement drop ceiling.
HAHAHAHA! Love it. Yes this video took me three months to write, film, capture footage, and edit all by myself. All with Muh Kids (two under five) and a full time job. No slobs beside myself involved.
@@RedCowEntertainment It's a fantastic video, very funny and informative. A great tribute to the SNES. When you described your recess SNES Final Fantasy conversation I flashed back to my own recess SNES Final Fantasy conversation from 2nd grade. I guess we all experienced a variant of that school playground discussion.
Great video EJ; very well written and thought out. The Junt SNES video made me re-buy a super Nintendo. I wish I would have kept mine instead of trade it in for the N64 - which I also wish I'd kept. I regret most of my childhood decisions.
The only system I owned that I got rid of was the dreamcast. I semi-regret that. Oh and I sold my GameCube, but IMMEDIATELY regretted it and bought a used one.
Nobody ever talks about Illusion of Gaia, and any time it gets a mention I feel validated. Like the rest of the time it's this obscure, half remembered memory of a game, that may or may not have actually existed.
1 Per Franchise 1. TMNT Turtles in Time 2. King of Dragons 3. Mega Man X 4. Super Mario All Stars 5. Knights of the Round 6. Final Fight 3 8. Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 9. Sunset Riders 10. Kirby Superstar
My SNES top 10: Super Mario World 1 and 2 Super Metroid Zelda Link to the Past Castlevania IV Donkey Kong Country 1 and 2 Mega Man X Contra III Earthworm Jim 1
I will go to my grave with the opinion that Final Fantasy 2/IV is superior to both 3/VI and Chrono Trigger. Not a knock on either of those games, but IV connected with me in a way I really can't explain beyond my feeling that it has the strongest character work from both the heroes and villains - I'll take Golbez and Rubicant over Kefka any day. But I also played Final Fantasy XI for over a decade and consider it time well spent, so there's that
Agreed. It was released close to the launch of the SNES, that's when I got it. I had never experienced a game with "cutscenes" (the term didn't exist at the time) and REAL characters (SOME DIED!!) FF1 on the NES (I got that game cause of the Nintendo Power strategy guide) barely had a story and no characterization. FF2 (IV) was like playing a fantasy novel. Go to the center of the eath...go to the moon? Amazing
@@RedCowEntertainment I've probably played that game like 6 times in my life until I get the moon and then somehow I drift away from playing it and never finish the game
Funny, the first time I played it, I got to the moon and drifted away too. But I replayed it when I was a little bit older, with more patience. Now I love it and I'll replay it over and over.
Absolutely! I think in a lot of ways I like the story of FFIV better than FFVI. I like how Cecil is basically committing war crimes at the beginning of the game, but he redeems himself and becomes a paladin. The scope creep as you mention, overworld, to the underworld, and to the mooooooon. It's great.
Funny you say what you did at the beginning of learning problem solving. I’m capable of remembering my way around or back tracking towns and roads I’ve never been to before when on road trips or vacations to the shock of my family/friends. I swear I have amazing navigation skills because of Zelda:LTTP and Super Metroid
Also yes to liking but not loving Mario World especially over 3.

Did you delete comments? I left one regarding RPGs last week, I said nothing that would warrant it being taken down, was just curious? Thanks
I don’t know what happened to your comment! I don’t usually delete comments
@@RedCowEntertainment ok thanks
Great video EJ; very well written and thought out. The Junt SNES video made me re-buy a super Nintendo. I wish I would have kept mine instead of trade it in for the N64 - which I also wish I'd kept. I regret most of my childhood decisions.
The only system I owned that I got rid of was the dreamcast. I semi-regret that. Oh and I sold my GameCube, but IMMEDIATELY regretted it and bought a used one.
Nobody ever talks about Illusion of Gaia, and any time it gets a mention I feel validated.
Like the rest of the time it's this obscure, half remembered memory of a game, that may or may not have actually existed.

Where's Bubsy?!
I owned it on Genesis. Look for it on my Genesis Top 10.
But can you make some ribs with it?
That's right. Inside every cartridge... it's ribs
I will go to my grave with the opinion that Final Fantasy 2/IV is superior to both 3/VI and Chrono Trigger. Not a knock on either of those games, but IV connected with me in a way I really can't explain beyond my feeling that it has the strongest character work from both the heroes and villains - I'll take Golbez and Rubicant over Kefka any day.
But I also played Final Fantasy XI for over a decade and consider it time well spent, so there's that
Can’t really argue with that. Plus you go to the Moooooon
Agreed. It was released close to the launch of the SNES, that's when I got it. I had never experienced a game with "cutscenes" (the term didn't exist at the time) and REAL characters (SOME DIED!!) FF1 on the NES (I got that game cause of the Nintendo Power strategy guide) barely had a story and no characterization. FF2 (IV) was like playing a fantasy novel. Go to the center of the eath...go to the moon? Amazing
@@RedCowEntertainment I've probably played that game like 6 times in my life until I get the moon and then somehow I drift away from playing it and never finish the game
Funny, the first time I played it, I got to the moon and drifted away too. But I replayed it when I was a little bit older, with more patience. Now I love it and I'll replay it over and over.
Absolutely! I think in a lot of ways I like the story of FFIV better than FFVI. I like how Cecil is basically committing war crimes at the beginning of the game, but he redeems himself and becomes a paladin. The scope creep as you mention, overworld, to the underworld, and to the mooooooon. It's great.
Great list, agreed with all of it. Except Gaia. Never played it. Unsubbed.
I like this video but please keep change the thumbnail like 5 more times
I need the slobs to A/B test some things
Drag Race is not formula1

Really good video, unfortunately I grew up in the Sega household and not the super intendo one so I missed out on all of these
