Dragonball Z Super Battle is one of those ones where you can see Banpresto's love for the series. Every character has a unique ending that is a twist on what happened in the actual manga (this happens later in the SuperSonic Warriors series).
Great list! Second time Dino Rex has popped up in a few days for me. Weird since I’ve been into emulation since 97ish… and while a ‘new’ game pops up (I was severely late to boogie wings) it feels like Dino Rex is being shoved at me like UA-cam’s saying PLAY THIS NOW (And I /did/ just get RetroArch running on my iPad here sooooo…..) Fun additional Dino Rex fact - PLAYERS CANNOT CHANGE SIDES If you end up on opposite sides, controls are lost and both Dinos WALK TO RESET to their correct side So no crossups here (whew looks like a blast)
I feel like we get the same videos in our feed. Who was the other one who talked about Dino Rex? Sexa Lord X? Game Sack?? Or maybe it was that guy who talks about 2D fighters...jmc something? lol
Joe & Mac Returns did eventually get a console port, but it was on more recent platforms by Flying Tiger Entertainment under the series name: Johnny Turbo's Arcade, which was later changed to Retro Classix.
I lived in Japan for spurts of my youth (military kid) and I played DBZ: VRVS without having any idea how to play it or what was going on....but I loved DBZ so, I had to try it. Funny part, for me, is that for years I convinced myself the game never existed since no one I talked to had ever heard of it.....until UA-cam came along and validated my memory.
The random running or seemingly dino-trainer looking humans in DINO REX was hilarious... The futile attempt to get a ragin Triceratops to settle down cant help but make me think of THE SIMPSONS, and the Gentle Ben talk show... "NO Ben...!" 😅😅😅😅😂😂😂😅😂
Fun fact: Gentle Ben was a _REAL_ TV show, and yes they used a real bear. It wasn't an invention of the Simpsons, the Simpsons simply did a joke about something that already actually existed in the real world.
This was a good one. Thanks for the tip about Top Hunter being on the Switch. I'd love a series that highlights the best retro/arcade/lesser known games that are available on the Switch. Always looking for something new to play.
Starting the day off right with another SNES Drunk amazingly perfect melodic harmony up top. Nice find on the Nemo game. The NES Nemo has some of the most amazing music on the 8 bit console. Riding Fight looks like a total blast too. Keep up the amazing work. Love all the videos. Thanks SNES Drunk. 🥁😎🥁
A few other things that are worth pointing out: Ganryu has a modern day sequel that's out on Switch and PS4, not sure if it's available elsewhere. I'm also not sure if it's any good or not, but it is a thing that exists. Also, thunder Fox was available on the first Taito Legends compilation for the PS2 and XBox, so if you have either, that's an available option. Finally, Joe & Mac Returns, Robo Army, Vandyke and Zero Team are all available on Switch and PS4 as part of the Arcade Archives series, so if you're interested in any of these games you can check them out there!
Random comment here, it makes me super stoked to see you are subscribed to Townsends on UA-cam, it's such a great channel and I love seeing others who are into that type of history.
Played Thunder Fox in Bosnia in 1996. I was in elementary and could never find it until now. Instantly recognized it by the first level. Thank you for literally finding the game from my childhood during the war 😂
I love this channel I always finding out some weird weird games that never in my life I've seen so much as a screen grab. It's really a testament for the popularity of arcades in the 80s and 90s off the sheer bulk of games that were made, even if some aren't the best , still would be worth a coin to experience the fun😅 Oddly enough, in my country we'd get some Japanese games, probably imported to Brazil first because their Japanese community is huge. I played Dragon Ball Z virtual versus, quite a lot when I was in the absolute hype of dragon Ball z in my teenage years. I probably was the only one who did because the controls were really unconventional. That one was almost ported to the 3do(there was a demo in game shows) but was cancelled when the console flopped.
A friend of mine had one of those SNES adapters that allowed you to play Famicom games, and we often played one of those Japanese Super Butouden Dragon Ball Z fighting games. I feel like people rag on them a little now--they aren't as good as these arcade games, but we loved them as kids.
Top Hunter also have special moves that you need to input like in fighting games. Guy can do something like Terry's power wave and girl can do fast kick like Chun Li
Good lord! Dino Rex's graphics looks like Jason & the Argonauts or some other movie from that time. Stop motion sprites....huh,...that's a first for me.
It might seem like a bad translation, but "It's a gravy day" isn't so crazy. "Gravy" is slang for "good" or "a bonus". Sometimes "gravy" is a noun meaning "money". A quote from Platoon is an example (and maybe an inspiration): “All you gotta do is make it out of here, it’s all gravy. Every day, the rest of your life, is gravy.” "It's a gravy day" could be "a good day" or "a lucrative day".
“Hi, thanks for taking the time to watch this.” I will watch pretty much anything you put out, I adore this channel. I want to thank you for reading this and I hope you have a great rest of your day.
never knew there was a DBZ arcade game...that VRVS one looks fun...that should be re-released now for VR sets...Nemo would've been dope as a SNES "sequel" to the NES one, despite not being exactly the same....Gun Master looks like it could've been done, same w/ Thunder Fox (since it did get a mega drive version)....will buy Top Hunter now....surprised Robo Hunter isn't available...Riding Fight looks like it could've been ported, especially if they used Mode 7....surprising Dino Rex didn't get a release, especially during the dino boom after JP...Primal Rage got released w/ obvious concessions, DR prob could have too.
Here's a tip for people checking out light gun games from these videos anyway they can, If you have a Wiimote laying around, they can be used on PC as light guns, you just need a USB sensor bar and to configure some stuff in MAME. You can find some guides easily on UA-cam. Alternatively, if you a modded Wii or WiiU, there are MAME versions for these consoles that can run them using Wiimotes as lightguns. May not be as good as playing the game on it's original cabinet, but I think it's the next best thing
Slight correction on Thunder Fox but it did also get a US Sega Genesis release in 1991 but no version for Europe/PAL regions. But given how much graphics and content was stripped out and the lack of two player I'm not sure if it would have fared much better for SNES in 1991 with it's lower screen resolution than the Genesis. It definitely would have had a wider variety of colors though.
7:12 DINO REX MENTIONED DINO REX SWEEP BABEEEEEH WOOOOOO There's a couple videos out there that go into the history of that games development and it's honestly mildly interesting and entertaining on its own. Also the story of the Dino Rex tournament run a while back. Fun stuff.
My dad's girl friend's son had a NeoGeo CD which I played Top Hunter on. I got real far on it, but for some reason found the arcade version difficult on M.A.M.E. years later.
Awesome video! I love learning about obscure arcade games. I think the only one on this list that I've played is "Top Hunter Roddy & Catchy" way back when at an arcade when I was a kid. I didn't even know Joe & Mac had a sequel! Tumble Pop and Joe & Mac are some of my favorite arcade games, so will definitely have to check out Joe & Mac Returns! Have a gravy day, SNES Drunk!
Just so you know, Joe & Mac Returns did actually get a home console port eventually, for the Switch, if you want to play it that way. Also a couple of years ago there was a new game in the series called New Joe &. Mac Caveman Ninja which is still a 2D side scroller but uses modern 2D graphics instead of pixel art. I haven't played it, but apparently it's brutally difficult. But yeah just letting you know in case you wanted to try it out.
@@duffman18 Thanks, man! I will have to pick up Returns at some point as it looks like a lot of fun. I did pick up the New Joe & Mac on Switch a dew months ago and it is great! I actually like the new style of the game.
I was legitimately starting to think Super Battle was some kind of fever dream from when I was a kid. Before I even knew what DBZ was I found the game at a random restaurant when traveling. I thought it was so cool, but was never able to find it again, and even when looking through games online I could never find it. Turns out it was because this random restaurant had imported it and it just got buried under the avalanche of DBZ games we've gotten over the years.
I love hearing about all these arcade games that never seen or got to play I really need to set up and build me a cabinet for emulation cuz I want that old school feel to it. And I also love the naming of so many of these games where it's just what sounds cool put two of those cool words together that's the name of the game
VANDYKE! I've been looking for the name of that for about 10 years! I remember playing it in Ripley Leisure Centre in about 1994 or there abouts and, because I was not even 10, I could not remember what it was. Thank you for giving me a name!
The Banpresto Dragon Ball games made it to Europe at the time, so they didn't technically stay in Japan. Oh, and the Joe & Mac sequel got re-released on Switch and I think other consoles as well, so no need to "keep an eye out" on that one.
I remember playing the punch out looking one at some random retro arcade in Madison,Wisconsin I. The early 2000s. It hurt my brain how it was supposed to work
Great stuff Alex! Now we need the modding community to work on Nemo by changing the scepter to a q-tip or ski poles so we can get Lane Myer from Better Off Dead (he could even fight the Van Halen burger)😂
Thunder Fox did have a NA Sega Genesis release, I owned it. The Wikipedia page for the game is literally the NA cover art despite the NA release date not being listed in said profile.
It is always a good day when I see Dino Rex getting attention. One of my favorite bad games. I think my favorite bit of trivia about that game is that it entered development as a side scrolling shmup. But then Street Fighter 2 hit and….well. I’m sure you can figure out the rest.
Dragon Gun looks like a classic quarter muncher. Lots of huge sprites, loud sounds, things flying at you at a relentless pace. It'd take $10-$15 in quarters to beat and You'd gladly pay it just to see what happens next.
I was hoping you'd get around to Top Hunter! I was obsessed with this game as a kid and begged for quarters just for it! Thanks for alerting me that it's on Switch. I also back the recommendation for Ganryu, it's pretty cool.
Joe and Mac Returns _DID_ eventually get a home console port, for the Switch, so that's a way to play it, an easier way certainly, because trying to get games working in MAME is always a complete crapshoot.
I arrive late to this video but the Dragon Ball Z games weren't exclusive to Japan, they were actually available in some countries around Europe due to the success of the anime (I think the DBZ V.R.V.S. was the most common from the 3 listed here). It was still hard to play them because they were always in Japanese (source: I played V.R.V.S. as a teen and a few friends played it and the other 2 in UK, Spain, and France), but they co-existed in the same place as games like Sega Rally or Point Blank.
Aliens by konami was a game that i kept an eye out for a port as a kid, but never happened. I was heartbroken and still am about it to this day because konami was big into consoles back then, so why not?!!🤷🏻♂️. I guess they felt that contra was already similar, but not for me
You should check out Dragon Ball Z Hyper Dimension and Super Butoden 2 and 3 on SNES... they're basically a recreation of Super Battle and actually fun fighting games. Hyper Dimension even evokes the first game you mention with the flying around in the air combat, but it's got way better moves.
I do love me these old arcade games. Imagine if consoles had the chance to port at least some of these Wouldn't be as good, but maybe adapt them to the limitations
Whenever I wake up to a new SNES drunk video, I know it’s gonna be a gravy day.
The graviest!
I'm in the boat
I wish everyone a gravy day

Top Hunter is great, especially with two players!
The DBZ fighting games that did come out for the Super Famicom were most similar to the 2nd Arcade game.
Random comment here, it makes me super stoked to see you are subscribed to Townsends on UA-cam, it's such a great channel and I love seeing others who are into that type of history.
Played Thunder Fox in Bosnia in 1996. I was in elementary and could never find it until now. Instantly recognized it by the first level. Thank you for literally finding the game from my childhood during the war 😂
Top hunter was one of my faves growing up, i played in a emulator but damn, neo geo had such a beatiful art and fun arcade games
That Joe and Mac game reminds me of Snow Bros'.
Dino Rex looks like an awkward first try at Primal Rage.

Love Dragon Ball! I believe it'd have been amazing to have it on Snes
There were 4 fighting games and 3 RPG games on the Superfamicom
Arcade only titles are such a big component of what I would want in a "perfect" games collection.
😄👍
Man, I love these kinds of videos, they always give me some cool and quick stuff to play on the weekends.
Dino Rex and Dragon Gun looked hilarious, and Nemo looks like a good time! Thanks drunk!
Top Hunter also have special moves that you need to input like in fighting games. Guy can do something like Terry's power wave and girl can do fast kick like Chun Li
Was disappointed in not hearing “not that Nemo!” when you were speaking of Nemo. The “not that Van Dyke!” made up for it

Joe & Mac Returns has been on Switch's store for a few years under the Johnny Turbo arcade branding. I played it a while back and it was fun.
If we had a compilation of every time SNES drunk has said "check this one out any way you can" I think it'd be like 8 hours at least.
"take a shot" when he says it

I remember playing Thunder Fox on SEGA Channel back in the day, there was definitely a Genesis branded release out there, not just Mega Drive.
A lot of these games are available on Switch and other consoles now because of the Arcade Archives series.

I know all of these (bar first 2 dragonballz games)
Great choices and nice to shine a light on these never spoke about arcade titles.
Correction about Thunder Fox: it DID get a North American Genesis release. I used to run across it a lot in game stores.
It is always a good day when I see Dino Rex getting attention. One of my favorite bad games.
I think my favorite bit of trivia about that game is that it entered development as a side scrolling shmup. But then Street Fighter 2 hit and….well. I’m sure you can figure out the rest.
Those drunk dinos cracked me up mate😂 thanks always for uploading good content.
Joe and Mac Returns actually can be purchased for the Nintendo Switch right now. Lots of fun, but I wish I could change the button layout.
Love how that Dragon Ball VRVS game looks. A lot of interesting games I'll check out "any way I can"
Ganryu was just released on Switch as part of Visco Collection from Qubyte
"Such a gravy day." That needs to make its way into daily usage.
All those Vandyke clips, but none with you posing? It's all about the posing!
Dragon Gun looks like a classic quarter muncher. Lots of huge sprites, loud sounds, things flying at you at a relentless pace. It'd take $10-$15 in quarters to beat and You'd gladly pay it just to see what happens next.
No mention of "Ken Griffey Jr. Presents Major League Baseball" has been made in this video
"All right, that's all for now, and I want to thank you for watching, and I hope you have a gravy rest of your day."
I was hoping you'd get around to Top Hunter! I was obsessed with this game as a kid and begged for quarters just for it! Thanks for alerting me that it's on Switch. I also back the recommendation for Ganryu, it's pretty cool.
The Joe & Mac sequel is available for download on Switch, there’s a bunch of arcade games on there
Yeah! My local arcade had Top Hunter for a while. Was legit cool.
I never said, thank you for turning me onto Evo. Great game loved it!
Nice set of games to look into and play.
Thunder Fox is one of my favorites. The controls are a little stiff but it's so silly and fun to play.
i love when you mention Fatal Fury
The Dinosaurs in Dino Rex look like those from the old Movies and general the old Design, before they had more Knowledge.
Vandyke looks like an Amiga game. Maybe one of the weird one off Psygnosis ones like Cytron.
Lots of fun ones on this list! I would recommend Shadow Warriors by Technos Japan. Amazing brawler with a stupidly deep control and combat system.
“John cusack in pajamas”
Damn, I will never under that!!
I love this series. And I just about lost it at "Yes. Yes I am."
So... wait... 'Gun Master' is such a master of the gun that he... uses punches and flaming kicks?

DINO REX
DRAGON GUN
Nothing fancy. Just what you see is what you get.
I don't think you get enough credit or applause for ghat iconic intro
