He's just so chill. Like I didnt like 90% of the games in his list, but he was so clear and relaxed about why he liked them, I was just glad to listen to him talk about games.
Other games that are way up there for me: Secret of Mana, Bust-A-Move, Final Fight, X-Men (arcade game), Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts, Panzer Dragoon, Gradius III
Have you ever played the Thief games. Thief: The Dark Project. Thief: The Metal Age. Thief: Deadly Shadows, and to a lesser degree, Thief 4? Those are my favourite games of all fucking time as an adult. Though Thief 1 and 2 could probably do with a small AI overhaul by today's standards, perhaps.
mine are probably: Final fantasy 6, final fantasy 5, Seiken Densetsu 3, Legend of Mana, Megaman legends, Megaman3(i think), Megaman7, Path of Exile, League of legends, Final fantasy XI, Everquest2
SNES drunk I like how you give gams a good review on sega too that’s what I was brought up with. Master system 2 / mega drive/ Saturn / and so on.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🎮
Great list. I really thought it was going to be more rpg heavy. I was pleasantly surprised with the various genres you covered. It shows what a genuine appreciation you have for all types of games. Thanks so much for the for continued great content!
@Chad Mulligan What snes drunk has a mastery of is delivering insightful, interesting, compact reviews without being overly bias. He has a calm temperament and doesn’t rely on gimmicks or shock value to carry his content. I have watched a lot of game review channels and he is by far one of the best. The mastery of his approach and delivery is far more important to me than any game he could master... which by the way, is not a quality of what makes a good game reviewer.
I LOVE how unique your list is (for the SNES games) ... it proves the SNES is the greatest console of all time. I could go 30 games deep and still be hitting classics.
I had my doubts when I initially subscribed, and then the first game you throw out for your favorite games is Blake Stone: Aliens of Gold? I'm never going to unsubscribe now.
Beat Chrono Trigger for the first time last week and a New Game Plus file just today, this time completing every side mission. It is easily in my top 5 games of all time.
Not what I was expecting, but then you finish on Mega Man, Contra and Chrono Trigger! You are unique. Very surprised you stopped console gaming after SNES, I loved the PS1/N64/Sat generation. Lots of SNES style games without software limitations. You get to see what each developer actually wanted to do. By the PS2/GCN/XB gen it was just more of the same. Another Smash Bros, another Final Fantasy, and Halo (which was great under Bungie). I'd try out PS1 Squaresoft and N64 Nintendo games if I were you.
"I really hope there's a sequel to this game someday" (referring to Limbo): Well, I'm sure you've played it by now, but I believe you'd like "Inside"! There's also Night in the Woods which has a very similar gamefeel, but it's more about dialogue and characters than the platforming and puzzle solving. Also wow what a unique list! Mad props for Mega Man 3 love, too, it's my fave as well, and GOTTA agree with CT for #1.
Snes: Super Mario World, Super Metroid, Legend of Zelda - a Link to the past PC: Heroes of Might and Magic 3, Master of Orion 2, Masters of Magic, Star Control 2
watching old videos of SNESdrunk... what a personal and original list I thought, not your typical Top list at all. But thinking about what my favorite 15 or 20 would be, I realize there are plenty of niche PC strategy games and even some weird not so good games I'm attached to, and not so many everyone's favorites.
Great video. If you will indulge me, I will give my favorite video games: Chrono Trigger- Do I really need to give an explanation here? Super Mario Bros 3- My favorite NES game, and it still holds up to this day. I think it has basically become the gold standard of platformers. Muramasa- This one is a Wii game, and it's the perfect blend of a Hack n Slash, and a RPG. Plus, it's easily one of the most beautiful games that I have ever seen. Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2- Always a huge fan of the Tony Hawk series. #2 is probably my favorite because I remember renting it first before buying it, and I couldn't put it down for like 4 days straight. The Godfather: The Game- This is where I reveal that I am a huge fan of mafia movies. Well, Rockstar took one of the greatest mafia movies of all time, and made a fantastic video game out of it. Honestly, I only have one complaint, and that is it's too short. I wanted more when I finished it. Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past- This game is just so good, and along with Chrono Trigger is the best reasons to own a Super Nintendo. I bought this game twice: once for me, and once for my wife because she bought a Game Boy Advance back in the day, and I believed that she had to own a copy of this game. NBA Jam: Tournament Edition- My favorite sports video game of all time. Back when I was a teenager in the 90's, I was actually the first person to beat this game in Season mode at my local arcade. (You have to beat every team.) It is probably one of my biggest video game accomplishments.
Good to see the variety on your list! Like you, I have some lesser known games that I have very fond memories of, like Ghost House on the Sega Master System...
Loving the diversity of the list. I also appreciate the megaman 2/3 thing. Have u played moonstone on the amiga? It’d be great if u gave that game a go and could make others aware of its existence. It makes my top 5 of all time and is a truly remarkable game.
I absolutely love UT3! Dude, im glad you put out great content with every video. I always end up rewatching each video a couple times before the next comes out!
Dude those newspaper articles from Sim City 2000 and also I believe SimTown inspired me to make my own fake absurd tabloid like newspapers as a little kid. We had so much fun just making up silly stories on printer paper.
The AoM remake actually runs perfectly on my computer, and I have found little bugs. So I love that version, but glad to see a video like this from you, I loved it!
Great video! I'm a Patreon because you're able to point out the best and worst qualities of a game in a short time frame. And we have very similar tastes in games and favorite games.
Contra III has a special place in my heart as it was the first snes game I finished + it's awesome! Only downside is my country is weird and here Contra III was called Super Probotector and you were a robot instead of a army soldier. Other than that the game was identical?
The Scart version runs alot faster than the pal version.Scart version is super contra and super probotector is the pal version.Super contra is much tougher due to the speed of the enemies.
Bro you are hands down my favorite youtuber. You bring new meaning to Tuesday and Thursday mornings! I love your videos so much. I too stopped following consoles after SNES and moved to PC gaming! Our top 17 games are quite similar. Never stop my friend :)
My Top 5 favorites are: -- Chrono Trigger & Final Fantasy VI (I count this two as one because both are so freaking great imo) -- The Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask -- Shadow of the Colossus -- Team Fortress 2 -- Super Castlevania IV
That's quite a varied list you've got there; seeing blake stone brought me right back to my 386, good times. :) I find it interesting that your top game of all time is the only jrpg entry on the list.
Dude, love your videos! Glad to hear your thoughts and critiques. I started watching your channel to get an idea of some SNES games I wanted to play since the SNES Classic just came out. I grew up owning a SNES and it will always be my fav. console. I just love that pixellated look (which some games really push that art amazingly) accompanied with fun game play. The more I've watched your channel as well as a few others, the more I've learned how under educated I've been about the SNES world. I feel like I'm getting to know it better now, but I thought it might be cool if you made a video just defining words, genres, & hardware. For example; sprites, jrpg, mode 7 chip. I am getting better at understanding this kind of vocabulary. But I thought it might be helpful to others like me who are jumping into this 16-bit world. I know, I know, we could go to Google and look them up, but we're lazy and would rather enjoy the comfort of entertaining UA-camrs with witty humor, explaining it all. BTW, love the openings to all these videos! I'm easily entertained. Haha.
Honestly, I'm glad you did this vid. Yeah, its almost 4 years old, yeah you might have re-evaluated things for all I know, but honestly? Good list, mostly. Everyone gets nostalgia goggles, but even so there are simply a lot of worthwhile games on the list. Adventure and the fps's though? Get motion sickness from the latter and the Atari was dead in the Netherlands when I started gaming.
Awesome list SNES Drunk. I’ve been a huge fan of your channel. Some of my favorite games are: Tales of Xillia Eternal Sonata Super Mario Galaxy 2 Persona 4 Golden Super Smash Bros Melee Conception II Children of the Seven Stars Mario Party 3 Skies of Arcadia Legends Forza Motorsport 3 Borderlands 2 Demon’s Crest (Special Honorable Mention because I love this game even though it’s my most expensive game)
I love your channel, so it's cool to see you have a favourite video games list. Mine are Super Metroid and Super Smash Bros. Brawl. My favourite single player game and my favourite multiplayer game.
Seeing and hearing Simcity 2000 makes me really miss MS-DOS PC gaming back in the 90's. Especially the music and sound from a soundblaster or Adlib sound card. I get really nostalgic... I think most gamers do.
Hey Mr Snes drunk, I was wondering, how old are you ? It's funny, because we have a similar course with videogames, i had an atari somehow, but no NES at home, had to go to a friend of mine for memorable plays, then I received the Super Nintendo. However, if I had to make a ranking of my favorites games, we would not share a single game ahah. Still, I find your channel recently, and I'm very happy to find it, I'll buy a controller for my computer as soon as possible, so I can try all those games you mention I had never the luck to play when I was a child. Continue the great work and.... have a great rest of your day mate !!!
Holy shit, I remember Adventure, I just couldn't remember the name. I played the bejesus out of that when I was a kid. Thanks for the hardcore nostalgia bump!
as an pc gamer who also loved RTS games, my fav is still Command & Conquer - Tiberian sun, the story and the ambiance were just intense and so futuristic.. Kane Lives !
Bro Chrono Trigger is my favorite game as well (I honestly think if you believe in objectivity as something that matters you could easily argue it's the greatest game of all time as well)! I think effortless is the best way to describe that game. Also passionate. More than anything the thing that makes me love Chrono Trigger so damn much is the fact that this game is such a work of passion from the devs. Everything about the game just screams how much the devs love the artform and how passionate they were about making as special of a game as possible. From the music, to the artstyle, to the buttery smooth, yet complex, gameplay, to the perfectly balanced story and the way it's told, everything about this game shows every part of the dev team firing on all cylinders and putting as much effort as possible into every single detail. I'm sure you know the story of Yasunori Mitsuda, my favorite video game composer, during the development. As an artist, his story of relentless hard work and passion to the point of physical illness speaks to me, and honestly makes me emotional everytime I think about it. Sorry, everytime I mention Chrono Trigger I have to gush.
I wasn't allowed to have a nes at home. My dad had a ti994a computer and made me code my own games. When my parents split I got a snes, but I will never forget the old school I played. Still discovering some of the nes in my 40s.
from the SNES? the ones i'd recommend. all megaman x games super metroid Final Fantasy 6 Final fantasy mystic quest all donkey kong country games mortal kombat 3 Shadowrun Super mario World zombies ate my neighbors krusty's fun house there are many good games on this system. a shame most won't remember them. at least there are videos if they can't play it themself.
Very nice list. I have a similiar gaming background but I still don't don't play current console games nowadays either, mostly because there are tons of games I want to play on SNES/Gensis in addition to PC.
I know you already did your favorite SNES games, I think that you should do an update and include all games, from all regions, just for SNES. So factor in your all time favorites in conjecture with the new favorite (post Snesdrunk Channel) I'd be really interested to see that - I often use your channel as an indicator of what to check out on the SNES (any way that I can, that is)
Blake Stone is still good today cause its wolf 3d with more depth, wolf 3d is kind of boring but blake stone has cool enemies and more exciting level design its a solid early fps title
I like people's personal faves since there might be games I have not of heard of. Thanks for the upload!!! BTW sorry for commenting on a 4 year old video but this is new to me! Mine are: System Shock Metroid Prime Batman Arkham Asylum Panzer Dragoon Saga MegaMan Zero Super Metroid Deus Ex Star Wars KOTOR Outcast Metroid Samus Returns Hero Core FF VII Metal Gear Solid Zelda Link's Awakening Front Mission Gun Hazard Metroid Zero Mission Little King's Story Prince Of Persia Sands of Time WonderBoy III The Dragon's Trap Axiom Verge Radiant Historia Subnautica Chrono Trigger
O shit I remember Blake stone. I've been trying to remember the name of that one for awhile. I remember I loved that game. Edit. Great list. There were only like 2 I never played on it and loved the rest.
I rented Chrono Trigger all because of the box art. Not knowing I was at the end of the game I had absolutely no clue what I was doing or even what to do. Fast forward 10 years later played it on an emulator and it is definitely one of the best games I ever played.
Weird list, but that's why I respect it. Nobody asked me, but here's my list: Star Wars Ep. 1 Racer (PC) C&C - Tiberian Sun (PC) Metroid Fusion (GBA) Ace Combat 3 [JAP] (PS1)
No SM or GSH. I’m honestly surprised! Feel like you reference those games lots. Granted, this video is older and I know these lists can’t be exhaustive and can be subject to change :)
If you like Star Fox for the SNES, check out the newly released Star Fox 2. It's a marked in improvement over the original, especially when it comes to frame rate and game speed. But instead of being a rail shooter, the game is based on dog fighting, exploration, and castle defense. Lots of fun, and pretty challenging on higher difficulties.
I'm surprised Super Metroid and LttP didn't make your list. Here's my list, but I'll limit to only one per franchise (I only had up to PS2 and NDS): 1) Super Metroid (SNES) 2) Custom Robo Arena (NDS) 3) Front Mission Gun Hazard (SNES) 4) Zelda Oracle saga (GBC) 5) Tekken Tag Tournament (PS2) 6) Chrono Trigger (SNES) 7) Go Go Nekketsu Hockey Club (NES) 8) Super Smash Brothers Melee (GC) 9) Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike (PS2) 10) Castlevania Portrait of Ruin (NDS) 11) Soul Calibur 2 (PS2) 12) Custom Battler Bomberman (NDS)
Good list, and I'm with you on MM3 being the favorite Mega man game. I'd even argue it is the best game of the series beating out MM2. I can see why the second was highly regarded, but MM3 improved on the formula by perfecting the controls and adding in key staples of the series (Slide, Rush, Protoman) doing what every great sequel should.
My top 5 SNES games are 1. Chrono Trigger 2. Final Fantasy 3/6 3. Seiken Densetsu 3 4. Super Mario RPG 5. Super Mario World Although the SNES is an amazing system with so many great games (which for the most part have all agee wonderfully) Zelda a Link to the Past, Earthbound, Final Fantasy 2/4, Secret of Mana and Evermore all get honorable mentions.
What I kinda have a heartfelt sob over is how some of my favorites are actually no-more; i.e. MAG on PS3. It is gone. That is why Retro Gaming is the better love. It will always be there.
an interesting list overall, and I like that you phrased it "My favorite games" in the title. That being said, anyone who has a problem with your #1 is not a true gamer. Chrono Trigger is still to date the best RPG ever, and I'm not sure anything will ever top it.
UT2003 was pretty good Used to love sitting on the tower in the Face map in the OG UT and just peg off guys left right and center with the sniper rifle racking up 100s of kills more than the 2nd place player just because lol And CT...nuff said. One of the greatest of all time period ☝️
fun list! here's my attempt at 17, which produced an actual 20: The Guardian Legend Mega Man 2 Mega Man 3 Final Fantasy IV Final Fantasy VI Chrono Trigger 7th Saga Destiny of an Emperor Actraiser Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen Shadowrun (SNES) Final Fantasy Legend Blaster Master Super Metroid Zelda - A Link to the Past Strider (NES) Crystalis Solar Jetman: Hunt for the Golden Warpship Gradius Battletoads
Certainly quirky. The Atari game was a nice throwback( i might have played it) and Mega Man X2 was one of my very own favorites(as was Chrono of course). You have a marked preference for games that are in essence simple, action oriented and sometimes realistic.
Really enjoyed the list. I wish there was a proper SNES focused site, like Sega-16, where we could read more about the games you cover as well as discuss them in depth. Obviously it should feature this series on its front page. Do you use favslist, btw? Would be cool to see your game lists on there.
Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy V and VI, Seiken Densetsu 3, Zelda Link to the past, Phalanx, U.N. Squadron, Wild Guns, Super Mario World, Ken Griffey Jr, MLB, Super Mario kart, Star Fox, Donkey Kong Country and man more!!!...Snes still the best for me today...I have a nintendo wii and I mostly play gamecube games in it with nintndont...there's something about nintendo that only a true gamer will understand!
Question/Recommendation: since you enjoy Camelot's RPG elements and your favorite game is Chrono Trigger... have you played Camelot's Golden Sun Trilogy for GBA & 3DS ? I bet you'd absolutely love them!
It’s gonna sound super lame but sometimes hearing SNESDrunk wish me a nice rest of my day just gives me hope
Kevin Gil - it’s not crazy at all. I have always appreciated hearing it too. It makes me smile and think “things are pretty darn good today” !
He's just so chill. Like I didnt like 90% of the games in his list, but he was so clear and relaxed about why he liked them, I was just glad to listen to him talk about games.
Yeah man that’s not lame that all, it always puts me in a good mood hearing snes drunk say that and makes me think life is pretty rad :)
Not lame, and I too hope you have a nice rest of your day!
That's why ALL retail employees are trained to do it. I have no doubt this guy has paid his dues there.
Other games that are way up there for me: Secret of Mana, Bust-A-Move, Final Fight, X-Men (arcade game), Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts, Panzer Dragoon, Gradius III
Have you ever played the Thief games. Thief: The Dark Project. Thief: The Metal Age. Thief: Deadly Shadows, and to a lesser degree, Thief 4?
Those are my favourite games of all fucking time as an adult. Though Thief 1 and 2 could probably do with a small AI overhaul by today's standards, perhaps.
mine are probably: Final fantasy 6, final fantasy 5, Seiken Densetsu 3, Legend of Mana, Megaman legends, Megaman3(i think), Megaman7, Path of Exile, League of legends, Final fantasy XI, Everquest2
Dude? You didn’t play Super Metroid?!
SNES drunk I like how you give gams a good review on sega too that’s what I was brought up with. Master system 2 / mega drive/ Saturn / and so on.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🎮
As mentioned by someone else, No Super Metroid? Its probably my number one, number two being Chronotrigger.
You went from Atari to SNES? Dude. Wow! That would be like going from a silent film to Batman 1989
I went from Atari to SEGA back in the day.
Same here! Atari 800XL to the SNES. Blown away.
To be more specific, I went from Atari to SEGA to SNES to NES to PC to Commodore 64 to Playstation.
From Commodore 64 to Playstation 5... - Prison!
@@greensun1334 dannnnng dude. you were in a long time
Great list. I really thought it was going to be more rpg heavy. I was pleasantly surprised with the various genres you covered. It shows what a genuine appreciation you have for all types of games. Thanks so much for the for continued great content!

I LOVE that some of your favorite games are goofy or odd games. I feel like any honest gamer has a “guilty” pleasure game or two that they love.
"Through your windows."
Proceeds to miss every window.
😂😂
Glad I'm not the only one in contra three that pops dual guns pose in level one when the fire arcs over me.
If you don't do that, you're not playing the game right
I have a screenshot of that as my profile pic in many accounts around gaming.
Always do that yo
dude that is one of the most vivid memories of my childhood.
i also ran around in the fire before it did damage too. lol
I thought I only did weird stuff like that. Glad I'm not so weird after all lol
I LOVE how unique your list is (for the SNES games) ... it proves the SNES is the greatest console of all time. I could go 30 games deep and still be hitting classics.
Adventure was one of my earliest gaming memories. That dragon freaked the shit out of me.
So, five years later...what are your thoughts on Limbo's sequel, Inside?
Dude you make great videos. Your reveiws tell people the good and the bad keep up the great work
Thanks for taking the time to watch
Chrono Trigger, yes!! Perfect finish to a good list.
For me the music of chrono trigger deserves special mention. One of the best musical scores I've heard in a game
If you're just talking about music, I prefer FF6 music. ToP had great music too.
@@michaelsong5555 yes ff6 is the one with sabin and the blitz moves? Also phenomenal music 😎
@@Simon0 Yes.
SMB3, Zelda Link to the Past, the Sonic series on the genesis, PS1 Metal Gear, R.E2, and halo 2.
I had my doubts when I initially subscribed, and then the first game you throw out for your favorite games is Blake Stone: Aliens of Gold? I'm never going to unsubscribe now.
Blake Stone: Aliens of Gold? I tought... must know this guy
YES! Finally someone who also likes Blake Stone. Played the hell out of that game back in the mid 90's on PC
Beat Chrono Trigger for the first time last week and a New Game Plus file just today, this time completing every side mission. It is easily in my top 5 games of all time.
Not what I was expecting, but then you finish on Mega Man, Contra and Chrono Trigger! You are unique.

Came here to see how many people recommended inside, I always thought of this and limbo as connected in my mind.
MMX2 is so good, but I never hear anyone talk about it! The music, the bosses, the feel... it's perfect!
Snes: Super Mario World, Super Metroid, Legend of Zelda - a Link to the past
PC: Heroes of Might and Magic 3, Master of Orion 2, Masters of Magic, Star Control 2

Good to see the variety on your list! Like you, I have some lesser known games that I have very fond memories of, like Ghost House on the Sega Master System...
katamari damacy is such an amazing game. Defiantly in my top 10 games of all time too.

You should try Resident Evil 4, if you haven't already (I know I'm biased here lol)
That's the game that got me into the series, I couldn't get into the predecessors.
Dude those newspaper articles from Sim City 2000 and also I believe SimTown inspired me to make my own fake absurd tabloid like newspapers as a little kid. We had so much fun just making up silly stories on printer paper.
Man! You've made my day, I used to do that too, such good ol'days! Thought that nobody never had fun with this
SUCH a good call on mega man 3. It is totally underrated.
WAY better than MM2.
The AoM remake actually runs perfectly on my computer, and I have found little bugs. So I love that version, but glad to see a video like this from you, I loved it!
This might be the most personalized list I've ever seen a video for; very interesting.
Age of mythology is a nostalgia bomb for me jusT hearing the music takes me back to being a little kid on my grandpas computer
Great video! I'm a Patreon because you're able to point out the best and worst qualities of a game in a short time frame. And we have very similar tastes in games and favorite games.
Contra III has a special place in my heart as it was the first snes game I finished + it's awesome! Only downside is my country is weird and here Contra III was called Super Probotector and you were a robot instead of a army soldier. Other than that the game was identical?

for some reason when you said "Number 7.. Katamari Damacy for PS2", I screamed "fuck yeah!" at my monitor. What a game.
OF COURSE WE CARE WHAT YOUR FAVOURITE CHARACTERS! We LOVE your channel
(The fact you picked 17 is most excellent)
The fact you put ken griffy Jr on here
Earned alot of respect from me !

Definitely have a taste for quirky stuff,you do.i mean,sports games?Katamari as an all-time favorite?Shocked me.
LOL, break dancer guy is just on bath salts >:D
Brandon Tackett ....... Well I can't play paperboy anymore now.
I love your channel, so it's cool to see you have a favourite video games list. Mine are Super Metroid and Super Smash Bros. Brawl. My favourite single player game and my favourite multiplayer game.
Thanks for sharing a little bit about yourself. Some of my favorite games are X2 and Chrono Trigger too.
My personal top 3 games ever is:
1. Final Fantasy Tactics
2. Hogs of War
3. Heroes of Might and Magic 2
My brother! I love fft
Nice list, similar to mine. I didn't see Jackal for NES though.
Dude I literally spent my childhood playing jackal. Hell yes.
Seeing and hearing Simcity 2000 makes me really miss MS-DOS PC gaming back in the 90's. Especially the music and sound from a soundblaster or Adlib sound card. I get really nostalgic... I think most gamers do.
Hey Mr Snes drunk, I was wondering, how old are you ? It's funny, because we have a similar course with videogames, i had an atari somehow, but no NES at home, had to go to a friend of mine for memorable plays, then I received the Super Nintendo. However, if I had to make a ranking of my favorites games, we would not share a single game ahah. Still, I find your channel recently, and I'm very happy to find it, I'll buy a controller for my computer as soon as possible, so I can try all those games you mention I had never the luck to play when I was a child. Continue the great work and.... have a great rest of your day mate !!!
Smiled and nodded for 6 minutes. Thank you!
Holy shit, I remember Adventure, I just couldn't remember the name. I played the bejesus out of that when I was a kid. Thanks for the hardcore nostalgia bump!
as an pc gamer who also loved RTS games, my fav is still Command & Conquer - Tiberian sun, the story and the ambiance were just intense and so futuristic.. Kane Lives !
Bro Chrono Trigger is my favorite game as well (I honestly think if you believe in objectivity as something that matters you could easily argue it's the greatest game of all time as well)! I think effortless is the best way to describe that game. Also passionate. More than anything the thing that makes me love Chrono Trigger so damn much is the fact that this game is such a work of passion from the devs. Everything about the game just screams how much the devs love the artform and how passionate they were about making as special of a game as possible. From the music, to the artstyle, to the buttery smooth, yet complex, gameplay, to the perfectly balanced story and the way it's told, everything about this game shows every part of the dev team firing on all cylinders and putting as much effort as possible into every single detail. I'm sure you know the story of Yasunori Mitsuda, my favorite video game composer, during the development. As an artist, his story of relentless hard work and passion to the point of physical illness speaks to me, and honestly makes me emotional everytime I think about it.
Sorry, everytime I mention Chrono Trigger I have to gush.
I wasn't allowed to have a nes at home. My dad had a ti994a computer and made me code my own games. When my parents split I got a snes, but I will never forget the old school I played. Still discovering some of the nes in my 40s.
from the SNES? the ones i'd recommend.
all megaman x games
super metroid
Final Fantasy 6
Final fantasy mystic quest
all donkey kong country games
mortal kombat 3
Shadowrun
Super mario World
zombies ate my neighbors
krusty's fun house
there are many good games on this system. a shame most won't remember them. at least there are videos if they can't play it themself.
Very nice list. I have a similiar gaming background but I still don't don't play current console games nowadays either, mostly because there are tons of games I want to play on SNES/Gensis in addition to PC.
Ken Griffey jr. Was one of the Best games on SNES. My child hood in a nutshell! I really feel it has been overlooked. Thanks.
Dude, Blake Stone was great! Glad to see it getting some love
I don't think i've ever seen a "fav game list" that I could agree more with!
I also got a SNES for Christmas 1991 😊
Me too :)
I know you already did your favorite SNES games, I think that you should do an update and include all games, from all regions, just for SNES.
So factor in your all time favorites in conjecture with the new favorite (post Snesdrunk Channel) I'd be really interested to see that - I often use your channel as an indicator of what to check out on the SNES (any way that I can, that is)
A really wide variety of genres and hardware: even though I don't particularly enjoy these games, I'm impressed!
Love seeing Age of Mythology. Top 10 for me. Also dozens of hours of Ken Griffey baseball.
Blake Stone is still good today cause its wolf 3d with more depth, wolf 3d is kind of boring but blake stone has cool enemies and more exciting level design its a solid early fps title
I like people's personal faves since there might be games I have not of heard of. Thanks for the upload!!! BTW sorry for commenting on a 4 year old video but this is new to me!
Mine are:
System Shock
Metroid Prime
Batman Arkham Asylum
Panzer Dragoon Saga
MegaMan Zero
Super Metroid
Deus Ex
Star Wars KOTOR
Outcast
Metroid Samus Returns
Hero Core
FF VII
Metal Gear Solid
Zelda Link's Awakening
Front Mission Gun Hazard
Metroid Zero Mission
Little King's Story
Prince Of Persia Sands of Time
WonderBoy III The Dragon's Trap
Axiom Verge
Radiant Historia
Subnautica
Chrono Trigger
O shit I remember Blake stone. I've been trying to remember the name of that one for awhile. I remember I loved that game.
Edit. Great list. There were only like 2 I never played on it and loved the rest.
I rented Chrono Trigger all because of the box art. Not knowing I was at the end of the game I had absolutely no clue what I was doing or even what to do. Fast forward 10 years later played it on an emulator and it is definitely one of the best games I ever played.
Weird list, but that's why I respect it. Nobody asked me, but here's my list:
Star Wars Ep. 1 Racer (PC)
C&C - Tiberian Sun (PC)
Metroid Fusion (GBA)
Ace Combat 3 [JAP] (PS1)
It´s hard to believe how spot on you are in most of your reviews, yet, you like games that I personally dislike like sim city or the OG Doom.
No SM or GSH. I’m honestly surprised! Feel like you reference those games lots. Granted, this video is older and I know these lists can’t be exhaustive and can be subject to change :)
Major props for Blake stone. I loved it too even though I knew it wasn’t that good.
💯#1 Chrono Trigger🤘 Ya got great taste
Wow my list of favourite games is pretty much the same! Love all these games too
If you like Star Fox for the SNES, check out the newly released Star Fox 2. It's a marked in improvement over the original, especially when it comes to frame rate and game speed. But instead of being a rail shooter, the game is based on dog fighting, exploration, and castle defense. Lots of fun, and pretty challenging on higher difficulties.
I'm surprised Super Metroid and LttP didn't make your list. Here's my list, but I'll limit to only one per franchise (I only had up to PS2 and NDS):
1) Super Metroid (SNES)
2) Custom Robo Arena (NDS)
3) Front Mission Gun Hazard (SNES)
4) Zelda Oracle saga (GBC)
5) Tekken Tag Tournament (PS2)
6) Chrono Trigger (SNES)
7) Go Go Nekketsu Hockey Club (NES)
8) Super Smash Brothers Melee (GC)
9) Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike (PS2)
10) Castlevania Portrait of Ruin (NDS)
11) Soul Calibur 2 (PS2)
12) Custom Battler Bomberman (NDS)
I also rented chrono trigger from blockbuster video and never returned it...I gladly paid $25 for it in 1995 you could say it was a steal of a deal;)
Good list, and I'm with you on MM3 being the favorite Mega man game. I'd even argue it is the best game of the series beating out MM2. I can see why the second was highly regarded, but MM3 improved on the formula by perfecting the controls and adding in key staples of the series (Slide, Rush, Protoman) doing what every great sequel should.
My top 5 SNES games are
1. Chrono Trigger
2. Final Fantasy 3/6
3. Seiken Densetsu 3
4. Super Mario RPG
5. Super Mario World
Although the SNES is an amazing system with so many great games (which for the most part have all agee wonderfully)
Zelda a Link to the Past, Earthbound, Final Fantasy 2/4, Secret of Mana and Evermore all get honorable mentions.
Good selection of different styles of game. Good choices
I absolutely loved starfox 64 and Conker's Bad Fur Day for 64
Nice. I never see Unreal Tournament 3 get some love. It is so good.
What I kinda have a heartfelt sob over is how some of my favorites are actually no-more; i.e. MAG on PS3. It is gone. That is why Retro Gaming is the better love. It will always be there.
an interesting list overall, and I like that you phrased it "My favorite games" in the title.
That being said, anyone who has a problem with your #1 is not a true gamer. Chrono Trigger is still to date the best RPG ever, and I'm not sure anything will ever top it.
Me too dude! I love MMX2 over MMX. Does everything a sequel should do. Keep everything that worked from the first game and improve everything else.
UT2003 was pretty good
Used to love sitting on the tower in the Face map in the OG UT and just peg off guys left right and center with the sniper rifle racking up 100s of kills more than the 2nd place player just because lol
And CT...nuff said. One of the greatest of all time period ☝️
fun list! here's my attempt at 17, which produced an actual 20:
The Guardian Legend
Mega Man 2
Mega Man 3
Final Fantasy IV
Final Fantasy VI
Chrono Trigger
7th Saga
Destiny of an Emperor
Actraiser
Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen
Shadowrun (SNES)
Final Fantasy Legend
Blaster Master
Super Metroid
Zelda - A Link to the Past
Strider (NES)
Crystalis
Solar Jetman: Hunt for the Golden Warpship
Gradius
Battletoads
Certainly quirky. The Atari game was a nice throwback( i might have played it) and Mega Man X2 was one of my very own favorites(as was Chrono of course). You have a marked preference for games that are in essence simple, action oriented and sometimes realistic.
Really enjoyed the list. I wish there was a proper SNES focused site, like Sega-16, where we could read more about the games you cover as well as discuss them in depth. Obviously it should feature this series on its front page.
Do you use favslist, btw? Would be cool to see your game lists on there.
Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy V and VI, Seiken Densetsu 3, Zelda Link to the past, Phalanx, U.N. Squadron, Wild Guns, Super Mario World, Ken Griffey Jr, MLB, Super Mario kart, Star Fox, Donkey Kong Country and man more!!!...Snes still the best for me today...I have a nintendo wii and I mostly play gamecube games in it with nintndont...there's something about nintendo that only a true gamer will understand!
You should do one of these for SNES and Genesis games!
Question/Recommendation: since you enjoy Camelot's RPG elements and your favorite game is Chrono Trigger... have you played Camelot's Golden Sun Trilogy for GBA & 3DS ?
I bet you'd absolutely love them!
I am giving you a standing ovation for including Ken Griffey Jr baseball, greatest sports game of all time, still!
Man, please make an updated version of this video. I come from the future!!
Age of mythology was amazing
Honestly, Sim City 2000 is just a good time and is fun to revisit from time to time.
