    I remember when I was like 5 or 6, my parents called me into the kitchen and asked if I would prefer a Super Nintendo or Genesis. I quickly responded Super Nintendo and we went and got it that afternoon. I'm 36 on Saturday and will never forget or regret my decision. Turtles in Time was my jam!

      Turtles in Time was great! SNES was my first system when I was five, but I remember also really wanting a Sega Genesis because I loved playing Sonic at my friends’ house. Still happy to have had the Nintendo though! The only Sega system I owned was the Dreamcast which was an awesome system ahead of its time. Unfortunately for Sega most people wanted to wait for the PS2 and their awful controller! I’d still take a Dreamcast over a PS any day!

    • @AltairEgo1
      @AltairEgo1 2 роки тому +2

      @Matt Mormann I feel like the first one doesn't get as much love either. It was a tightly designed, solid platformer. I do agree that 2 is the best, but all 3 of them are good. 3 is my least favorite, but I go back to it from time to time. It's got some neat levels like the lightning one, factory stages and the hollowed out tree with the giant saw.
      My only issue, besides Kiddy, was that some of the animal buddies were quite underwhelming. The elephant just felt tedious to use. That level with the mice everywhere kind of sucked.
      Overall, great series, and you can't go wrong with any of them.

    The 16 bit era was the golden era of video gaming. The tech was polished enough that games could look and sound amazing (My music library is probably 90% 8 bit and 16 bit game OSTs). If you bought a game, that was it, you owned the entire game, no logins, no connection errors, no updates, no DLC, no ads (usually), no Pay to Play, no Pay to Win, no B.S. So many games were clearly made with love and game developers were willing to push the tech right up to it limits. Top 20 games? I could probably name 100 off the top of my head that were awesome lol. This isn't to bash on new games though, there are definitely modern games that are just as good (many that even emulate games from that era which really says something) you just have to filter through a lot more crap to get to them.

    A bit surprised to not see it on here, but Contra 3 the Alien Wars is one of my favorite super Nintendo games, and is arguably the best game in the series (I prefer Hard Corps on the genesis). The SNES was that good of a system. You could make a top 40 easily

      Same, I was expecting Contra 3. It's by far my favorite in the series. Everyone always raves about Hard Corps, saying it's the best. I've always preferred 3. I thought it neatly wrapped up the series, and had one hell of a finale. Never cared too much about any of the later games in the franchise. They don't seem to have the same magic the third one possessed.

    I still enjoy playing A Link to the Past today. I was a kid when it came out and a friend of mine had an SNES and had ordered the players guide. That guide was something special. So much unique art and story added into it. It was more like an early omnibus of Hyrule. After flipping through it we would run over to the park, find big sticks, and fight hordes of monsters.
    It also helped that a story element was that Link was decended from a line of knights. At the time I had learned of my family's coat-of-arms and had been increasingly obsessed with the ideals of knighthood.

      It wasn't better than Genesis so, if it's not even better than the same console of its era, how can it be a great console? Genesis was so much more superior... and generally any games that came out for both consoles was better for Genesis. Yes it had great exclusives, and that's what always made Nintendo great. Mario Zelda F-Zero Donkey Kong etc are what made SNES great, and others like Killer Instinct. I understand having nostalgia but overall, Snes is not one of the 5 best consoles ever. N64 DS GBA Gamecube and regular NES were all better consoles, it's not even in Nintendo's top 5.

      @@MoneyHoneyBunny if you couldn't tell by my 3 favorite games ever, I'm a big RPG fan. While the genesis had Phantasy Star and Shining Force, which are fantastic series in their own right, that is pretty much the entire list. I know there are some smaller titles, but up against the three I mentioned plus Mario RPG, Terrenigma, Lufia, and any others, I'll take SNES any day. Platformers get a bit harder to discern. Sonic 3 + Knuckles is top 3 for me, and it can go toe to toe with SMW any day.
      As for other Nintendo consoles, they all have their pluses and minuses. NES is what I grew up on. So I still have very fond memories of it. N64 is probably my least favorite Ninty console, but Mario 64 and DK 64 I will still play any day. GC had Prime and SSBM, but it had my least favorite Mario. 3DS is my second favorite console due to a massive catalog, if you include DS games.

I try to be unbiased and look at what other people think but, everyone has a right to their opinion and not everybody sees things the same way. Take Sega Saturn for example. Innovative beyond it's time, the first console to have a true modem attached to it, first console you could watch movies on via VCD, and quite frankly all of it's arcade ports were superior to the versions on PS1 generally. BUUUUT, I gotta be unbiased and say, it basically flopped compared to PS1 in the USA. In Japan? Different story but USA? By far was the least popular console between itself PS1 and N64. Sega was an absolute disaster between Saturn sales, 32X and Sonic-Xtreme, they choked hard. So I always ask Nintendo fans 'come on, give us Sega kids Genesis at least'

Both were great consoles. Some prefer the SNES Contra as well as the SNES version of Aladdin. When MK 2 and 3 Ultimate came out and Nintendo finally allowed the blood the SNES games were the better versions. There were also exclusives beyond Nintendo made games on the SNES. Squaresoft was responsible for many great Nintendo exclusive games. Also the SNES could handle arcade games such as NBA Give N Go decently enough. The game wasn't even on the Genesis. The Dick Vitale basketball game did not compare. Although I will say if you liked sports games the Genesis was the better console especially w games like World Series Baseball. The SNES was definitely the better console for RPGs. So some of the thinking as to which one was better had to do with what genre of video games you liked.

    IMO, the SNES is my all-time favorite Nintendo console. Beautiful graphics for that time, unforgettable music (F-Zero one of the best ones), and countless hours wasted of my life, hahaha. Great list, however I cannot agree at all that Super Mario World is number 1. Link to the Past is by far the best SNES game ever, and probably one of the best videogames ever made.

    This list would have been totally invalid to me if you had left off Super Mario RPG, and I'm also super stoked to see you include Secret of Mana - neither game gets the love they deserve. But in my opinion, having played most of the games on this list, both Mario RPG and Secret of Mana deserved to be higher up on the list.

    Tetris Attack and Super Punch Out definitely deserve consideration as well. The SNES SimCity was great too! Tetris 2 was a unique version of the game that never was brought back in any other releases of the game.

    I'll be honest, whenever I play Super Mario World, I always do the one that came with Super Mario 3D All-Stars because of the unique Luigi sprite that would see in those Mario sprite animations on UA-cam and Newgrounds.

    I had a friend in 4th grade and he had an SNES. When I would visit his house we'd play nearly non stop. My favorite was Donkey Kong County. I was a bit jealous since we didn't have a console. My brother brought home a Genesis when I was 11 or so and I enjoyed it, but I never really got over not having a SNES when I was a kid 😅

    Chrono Trigger is still turn based, you just get too see the charge time between attacks, rather than it going straight from character to character. Just like FF6. Then you can set it to active or wait which puts the timer more into play, but either way its still turn based.

      Well, you have to wait for your turn but enemies will keep attacking you if you do nothing. That's a big difference from the older turn based RPGs where you pick all of your attacks and then everything plays out like Earthbound

    A terrific list. It’s always a shame that Terranigma is never included on these type of lists. I get it, it was never released in America, but it is easily amongst the best on the system.
