Reviving Retro: Top 50 Underrated SNES Games Explored for Nostalgic Joy

  • Welcome back, Marvelous Gamers. Let’s talk about the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (or the Super Famicom as Japan called it) that made it to North America all the way back in ’91. Its Mode 7 graphics allowed for dynamic scaling and rotation effects, creating immersive gameplay experiences. It also introduced shoulder buttons on its controller, something we see in modern controller designs to date. While the Super Nintendo would go on to host a rich library of iconic titles, today, we’re diving deep into its archives with the goal of showing off some of its hidden gems that didn’t quite get the recognition they deserved. We advise you to dust off your controllers and retro consoles because, by the end of today’s video, you’re definitely going to want to fire up this bad boy and give a few of these titles a go!

    It's sad that if it wasn't for emulation, a huge portion of these games would be forgotten & effectively dead forever 😮😢

    THANK YOU. Finally someone who gives SNES Jurassic Park the callout it deserves. Honestly, the soundtrack ALONE is easily among the best on the system, and will stay with you for decades - it sure did for me, since 1993. The whole experience is CLOSER to the book in ways than the film ever was. I really love it - one of my top 5 all-timers.

    Robotrek was another underrated SNES game. Build your own robots, give them custom programs for special attacks, and build equipment and items you learn to make via books you find throughout the game. Grid-based RPG battle system with a fun story and fun characters.

    You know, i never noticed it before but that golf type kirby game is laid out almost like ps1 and ps2 tactical rpgs. I wonder now, if they could've actually made a game like that for the SFC/SNES? Have a playing field like that, and use the 3d mode 7 effects like they did in Chrono Trigger to turn the screen around! Dude, that would've been amazing back then!

    Man the nost underrated SNES game by far is NINJA WARRIORS.
    It's a side-scrolling beat 'em up and when you play with Ninja you have like 12 different attack moves! While in games like Streets of rage you have 3 attack moves!!
    The graphics are phenomenal, the gameplay is phenomenal, the enemies are phenomenal!
    It's just sooooo underrated!!

    Why did you show arcade footage of Sunset Riders rather than actual SNES footage? It’s noticeable because SNES only has two player, not 4. Let’s see only actual footage please.

      Sam Sho had a lot more animation and flash than AoF, so Takara kept the sprites small in order to retain the entire cast, and animations were mostly kept intact, or as much as possible from the arcade game.
