The Super Godzilla box art is actually lifted directly from the poster for Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah (1991). All of the 80s-90s era Godzilla posters are amazing, highly recommend checking them out.
Aw man that moment in a 90s kid's life when your parent said "OK, you can get ONE game from the clearance/sale/bargain bin". You had no smart phones to quickly look up reviews or something. All you had was cover art, the back of the box synopsis and screencaps, and if you were really brave, the word of the guy behind the counter. And you had just minutes to decide.
I'm guessing it was the work of autocorrect, but imagine writing Ghidorah's title of god with a capital G when the capital-G GODzilla is right there. 😎
I commented on Part One that the opposite concept should be done next, and you said it would be difficult since most games with good box art were good. You pulled it off! Well done sir, keep up the good work!
Love your channel keep it up. But honestly from a Godzilla fan back in the day we had to live off of scraps. Anything we could get our hands on so even though the game play wasn't the best it, was still awesome to go whoop ass as the big guy. And you normally praise a game for its visuals but didn't with Super Godzilla which was one of its saving graces.
No "of quality" on the Nintendo seal on the fake box art for Pete Incaviglia's Combat Baseball and Bubby Brister's Combat Football, nice. It's not the seal of quality, it's just the seal.
Cyber Spin is actually the first Shinseiki GPX Cyber Formula game (with the story mode and other things cut), also I remember GunForce and Skuljagger Revolt of the Westicans, because I played them back when I was living in my old household. (The guy in the Skuljagger box art is the villain and appears in the intro of the game as well), Gunforce was actually an arcade game and has a sequel known in Japan as Geo Storm.
I swear, I'm the only person alive that likes Bill Laimbeer's Combat Basketball. And by the way, it's not a pass at the basket. If you are moving when you hit the button, it's a pass. If you stand still when you hit it, they shoot the ball. lol
Confession: I've got a soft spot for Bill Laimbeer's Combat Basketball. There was a short period in my early childhood where that was the only game I had access to. I vaguely remember once I realized how bad the game was I wouldn't even try to beat it anymore. I would come home after school and just veg out and relax while pushing people around trying to keep the score 0-0. Playing it mindlessly made it more fun.
I can't not watch your videos man. I love the SNES. Absolutely love it. I have a collection, at this moment, of 155 games. However there is something about your voice that just takes me back to the early 90s. I'm not gay (nothing against gays... everyone has a choice... some like the bum...) and I don't mean it in a gay way. I mean that your voice goes perfectly with your video content. You have a retro voice. In-fact, you should be called 'Retro Voice Man'. "Now on the SNES drunk channel we have Retro Voice Man reviewing Super Castlevania IV!" Said completely in a Michael Buffer voice. Anyway that's my point. You're great and thank you for your videos. They really take me back and brighten my day.
I got Bill Laimbeer’s Combat Basketball with my SNES because it was 1993 and the game was cheap. I also had ActRaiser and Populous along with the pack-in of Super Mario World. That said, I developed a weird love for Combat Basketball and would play it for hours on end. I knew way back then it was a terrible game but I had mastered ActRaiser, Tubular in SMW was frustrating me to the point of screaming and crying plus I had grown bored of torturing the people of Populous, so until I had earned enough mowing lawns and babysitting to buy Link to the Past...Combat Basketball was really all I had.
I know I’m in the minority but I love Bill Lambeers B-ball! Besides being able to check the crap out of other players..I loved buying different cyborgs and eventually beating the game with a team of ALL Bill Lambeers!
He was good on the phillies in 93...n if u play drunks favorite sports game ken griffey jr baseball...he's the best hr hitter for the phillies...u jus have to take him off the bench...
Look. Combat Basketball was total crap in a lot of ways but I had dozens of hours of fun playing it with my brothers. The two player versus is actually a fun time. Ridiculous and fun.
I got that Godzilla game for Christmas when I was 12. My mom let me open it early. I beat it in 4 hours. It was terrible. Luckily I got a playstation that Christmas with some new games.
Unholy Night was a huge disappointment :( We know the SNES can do some magnificent fighting games, and the pedigree of the developers for UN was intense, but man... what a hideous game when it finally launched :(
The bubby Brister combat football cracked me up!! and I will confess I like combat basketball but it was really frustrating at times.. Looking back not sure why I liked it so well lol
Putty Squad was a game I remember always renting as a kid because the box art was cool........ But the game was not good XD lol IDK why I never realized the game sucked, I just forgot
Great video, as always. I love this channel for a few reasons. One, I love the little "Sssss....Nes Drunk" jingle at the beginning, and 2, the depth of the references is amazing. I mean, Bubby Brister??? Bubby freaking Brister... now that is a name I have not heard in a long, long time.
I used to speedrun it so I'm biased. You can beat it in about 50 minutes. It's really fun when you understand the battle mechanics - the fights are supposed to be slow, it's not a beat 'em up!
It's an amazing game. I can still play it today and have a lot of fun. The customization of the style of your fighter by selecting the techniques to use is an amazing idea, and the fight mechanism itself is pretty realistic. Man I love this game so much.
Just curious, how long it does normally take you to make a 5 to 7 minute review? I've been wanting to get into similarly lengthened reviews myself, but often have trouble really easing my workload. Any tips would be nice.
Gunforce 2 is a lot better. The first game on arcade had better frame rate, but was incredible more difficult at the point of being unfair compared to the SNES port. As for Gunforce 2, also played on arcade. Has some lag because of the quantity of bullets, but was playable and really fun. Some says it's the prequel to Metal Slug, so it's worth checking out.
ROFL SNES Cap'n & The Avengers was so wacky. The constant plap plap plap sound of combat punctuated by a soundbyte of your dad the day you flushed his keys down the toilet. NOOOO!! DX
Outlander on snes is crap, but the megadrive version is actually not that bad, the driving section especially is a technical marvel, the view is more "3d" than the fake outrun road you have on the snes and the framerate is better too, plus it's seen from the driving seat and the sprites are huge
The box art for Brandish looks great - I no doubt would've picked that up when I was a kid based on the art alone. I can remember being disappointed in Captain America and the Avengers when I finally got it for SNES - I'd played it in the arcade with my brother and we both loved it. We still played it anyway because it was relatively decent and not outright awful, but it still didn't compare to the arcade. I had no idea there was a Genesis port, though...I'll have to give that a look.
DementedDistraction I remember playing that game at the Galleria Mall arcade in LA (The same mall featured in Terminator 2) and I was addicted! Bought the genesis port years later and still play it to this day!
Randomark3087 as a kid I avoided the Adventure Island series cuz I though the protagonist looked so dumb haha. I regret it cuz I heard those games were great!!
Thank goodness for mobile web now. If I come across a game, a quick look up of screenshots and a quick gander at an LP and I usually have a good idea whether I'll enjoy it or not :D
bejais And the fact they require so many patches (sometimes day 1, like really??) and many with a high price tag. Though I will say with so many coming out the list to choose from is huge, and there are some hidden gems here and there that are really fun. Edit: but tbh I will lean more towards older consoles/games in the future.
That recent Super NES game (Unholy Night) not worth picking up/a waste of money? I happen to disagree. I own it but I lost it, it’s somewhere in my house I just have to find it. It isn’t a sloppy mess to me. Just because it’s choppy doesn’t mean it’s awful, just rough to some, I can see why you think that way. The game is definitely playable, the gameplay is fine. It’s a well-balanced game hidden under a choppy frame rate (if you can get over it, it’s not even that bad at all) as some will say. I swear I CAN PULL OFF THE CHARACTERS’ MOVES 100% OF THE TIME AND IT’S ACTUALLY QUITE EASY! (Not sounding angry or anything) The other positive points besides gameplay it has are the sprites of the characters (also fantastic because anime, be careful what you say ‘cuz o’ weebs. Anime-style fighters are like bread and butter but digitizing real life people that’s like vomit, sorry Mortal Kombat fans) as they have a pretty decent amount of animation frames actually, the music is awesome too (MIDI can sound awesome. J-fighters are well known for excellent soundtracks too) as is the box art which I would keep up in my room but the character roster is small which is kind of a bummer. All in all, I think it’s good and worth picking up but your opinion may differ from mine because we’re all different. But it isn’t as good as all the other Japanese fighting games today which are practically perfect in terms of gameplay. I’m sad to see Unholy Night get a bad rap among retro gamers. It’s definitely better than those crappy western fighters, even on the Genesis back in the day if you ask me. I also wish to see an HD reworking of Unholy Night at arcades or on Steam or on consoles, go ahead and yell at me if you wish.
I have to agree that the cover is freaking awesome and the game itself is a bit of a letdown, but I personally love Brandish, but you do have to get over that huge hurdle of the rotating screen in order to enjoy it. The music and challenging gameplay got me hooked.
Just a few anecdotes: Best of the Best Championship Karate was originally released in France as « André Panza Kickboxing » on Atari ST and Amiga home computers in 1990. The whole selling point was the very fluid animation and ability to customise your fighting style. Cool concept at the time. Then Street Fighter 2 happened. Gun Force: didn’t mean anything to me until I saw the game. It’s a port of a pretty fun arcade game by Irem, « GunForce: Battle Engulfed Terror Island » (that’s a mouthful). I didn’t even know it had been ported to any home system! Honestly that cover is tacky. It would have been better if they had stuck to the arcade art. 😁
Best of the Best karate championship (lol) is actually a port of Panza Kick Boxing, a game for the Atari-ST and Amiga computers. The original is much better and smoother, without the weird changes/additions like the weird ass monkey guy that sometimes shows up cheering, there's no crowd until you get up in the ranks, no "kumite" stuff, and the faces and names aren't stupid like in the SNES/MD versions (and it's based on a champion, Andre Panza). I was really disappointed when i played that, as i had the original on ST. Bill Laimbeer's combat basketball is a bad ripoff of SpeedBall II: Brutal Deluxe, the awesome game from the Bitmap Brothers (also on Amiga, Atari-ST and MD). Still baffles me they didn't make a SNES version of that game !
Hey SNESdrunk, have you ever played that weird-ass Captain Tsubasa game on the super famicom (I don't think it was ever released on the SNES)? Such a bizarre game. It's like... a cross between an RPG and a soccer game. I played it a lot because I used to love the anime as a kid. Thank you and have a good rest of your day.
On the NES we have The Guardian Legend (1989), a sci-fi game with a hybrid zelda-like action-adventure and shmup style of gameplay where you control an android girl that can turn into a x-wing or something and it's absolutely amazing but the north american cover is a super shitty evil face that has nothing to do with the game itself, possibly contributing to the game's low sales.
I have to disagree with you. Super Godzilla is a lot of fun. It's tactical, and more about how you approach the monsters as well as an interesting fight mechanic. The music and special attacks are really nice, and the designs of Super Godzilla and Bagan are unique. Now Cyber Spin? Yeah, bang on right there. I hated that game as a kid.
Please review the godzilla kaiju dakaizzen (I forgot how to spell the last part of the title) this is a far superior game for godzilla on the snes. Kicks super Godzillas ass. Think kinda like mortal kombat but with godzilla. Also don't forget about godzilla domination for GBA!! Both are great so get on it please!! They both are very deserving of reviews on your channel imo.
so funny story, i was given Super Godzilla for my 7th birthday. I was never able to beat it. From 97 to 09 I'd have the same reoccurring nightmare where Godzilla would kill me because I couldn't beat the game. After years of being haunted by that nightmare, I finally beat the game the day of my highschool graduation. Definitely won't revisit it.
I. Fuck*n love love loved Best of the Best!! And my first Super Nintendo game... I loved them....loved.... maybe 6 year old me wasn’t on point with what quality games where lol
oh man I m so glad I found out about unholy night before I saw it at a convention. The coverart, the name and the concept. How can this be bad? It was a kickstarter that didn't hit it's goal. Someone picked up the rights to the game and released what was there. 6 characters, 2 themesongs and a few boring backdrops. Unless you can get this game for the dirtiest of cheap stay away from it. It's 99% boxart 1% game.
The funny thing about both Captain America and the Avengers and Outlander is that the Megadrive versions are pretty decent. Captain America is much closer to the arcade version and Outlander runs much smoother, has greater enemy variety during the driving sequences which are in First person and even the on foot stuff feels a bit better. Okay sure, Outlander still isn't an amazing game, but it's perfectly playable and it was the best option for a Mad Max game until the 2015 game which is honestly a great game both as part of the franchise and just as an open-world action game.
I gotta disagree on some of these -- like that Godzilla cover looks fucking stupid -- and that gameplay is exactly what I would have expected (and rightfully passed on). -- Same with some of the other games... the cover is clearly telling you exactly how bad the game will be. :-P
Mindscape seems like the LJN of the Super Nintendo Era, except they made some really great PC and Amiga games. My guess is that they just weren't all that familiar with the hardware, so the result was just trashy. Oh and the 2 dragons on the Godzilla games were two of King Gidorah's heads.
PART ONE: ruclips.net/video/D2l6JCQ_vJg/видео.html
The Super Godzilla box art is actually lifted directly from the poster for Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah (1991). All of the 80s-90s era Godzilla posters are amazing, highly recommend checking them out.

You write this comment on all his videos you dickhead
two dragons? that's ghidorah! and Brandish is actually good
I said exactly the same thing ghidorah is a three headed gold dragon lol I immediately nerded out
It's a good game the movement is strange but once your use to it there's a fun time to be had
Personally, I'd pay good money to see a violent post-apocalyptic adventure starring Balki.
That’s not two fire breathing dragons, that’s King Ghidorah a three headed alien God.
thank u for noticing that....i said the same thing.
You guys. Generally looks like that. For people who don't watch them :D
I'm guessing it was the work of autocorrect, but imagine writing Ghidorah's title of god with a capital G when the capital-G GODzilla is right there. 😎
Right I was instantly triggered and I also enjoyed super Godzilla
Shut up nerds
I commented on Part One that the opposite concept should be done next, and you said it would be difficult since most games with good box art were good. You pulled it off! Well done sir, keep up the good work!
Used to played half of these shitty games while screwing you up the Ass!
Bronson Pinchot as the Road Warrior is the movie I didn't know I needed in my life.
Dont be crrrrrrazy
Is it a good game. Cap America and the Avengers is decent
Cousin larry as his sidekick?
Literally just got done watching the ep where Larry tries to teach Balky how to say no to ppl lol.
@@fidelsolis6070 the sega and arcade ports are legit, not Streets of Rage good but still a really fun playthrough.
Have a good rest of your day 👊
Hey that's that thing that that guy in the video said. Thumbs up for that.
Don’t tell me what to do!
For some reason I like SuperGodzilla. I think I'm just a sucker for cool looking animations for attacks like in final fantasy
Same. I enjoyed the game.
I enjoyed it as well
I also enjoyed it for the godly sprites and pretty fun gameplay
I liked it a lot to. It was unique from a lot of games back then.
"Try and throw fewer than 6 interceptions" 😂😂😂
Love your channel keep it up. But honestly from a Godzilla fan back in the day we had to live off of scraps. Anything we could get our hands on so even though the game play wasn't the best it, was still awesome to go whoop ass as the big guy. And you normally praise a game for its visuals but didn't with Super Godzilla which was one of its saving graces.
I kmow that Super godzilla isn't good but i like it once you figure out what you are doing^_^.
Man, it's games like these that make me really glad that Blockbuster was a thing back in the day hahaha.... *sigh* I miss Blockbuster...
Yeah, but now we have roms, which are even cheaper. :P
Hahaha, a good point :P
Man I had Super Godzilla growing up and I liked it. It wasn't my favorite by far but I played it often.
Yeah, once you got the hang of what was going on, it was fun.
I liked it to. It was different from a lot of games I played so I enjoyed the uniqueness. Also I wonder if he legit dose now know who Ghidorah is.
I have a soft spot for Outlander. Yeah, it's not good, but it's weird enough to play through.
I got a soft spot for anything referencing road warrior
It's actually challenging and kinda nice ! The game Gives you a password if you get some high score... How fucking hardcore is that ?!
I'm so glad SNESdrunk can still make vids.
Why what happened to him?
Ahhh, Bronson Pinchot, Danny Bonaduce, and one Pete Incaviglia. Subscribed, my friend!
The accuracy of Sagat and the floating head from act razor was chilling to say the least.
Enough with the John Stossel! Give him a break :P
As a die hard Steelers fan I 100% approve and appreciate the “Bubby Brister” mention HAHAHAAH
Hah! Super Godzilla's boxart is just the poster art for Godzilla vs King Ghidorah, severely cropped.
Pete Incaviglia, lol, probably the most that guy has been talked about in 20 years as well
No "of quality" on the Nintendo seal on the fake box art for Pete Incaviglia's Combat Baseball and Bubby Brister's Combat Football, nice. It's not the seal of quality, it's just the seal.
Cyber Spin is actually the first Shinseiki GPX Cyber Formula game (with the story mode and other things cut), also I remember GunForce and Skuljagger Revolt of the Westicans, because I played them back when I was living in my old household. (The guy in the Skuljagger box art is the villain and appears in the intro of the game as well), Gunforce was actually an arcade game and has a sequel known in Japan as Geo Storm.
holy crap bro pete incaviglia??? nice i subscribed just for that throwback reference
"A racing game that punishes you for speed"
Or.... learn throttle control in turns?
Yeah, braking is part of racing.

It honestly wouldn't surprise me if the guy who did the level design on Brandish also laid out the streets of Jacksonville, Florida.
😂
I swear, I'm the only person alive that likes Bill Laimbeer's Combat Basketball.
And by the way, it's not a pass at the basket. If you are moving when you hit the button, it's a pass. If you stand still when you hit it, they shoot the ball. lol
That game.. was so bad it turned me gay.. :(
Rant Nation believe me that wasn't what turned u
Gotta love the level of wit and intellectual discourse in youtube comment threads.
Natalie Reed I know...all i was trying to say was that I like that game! lol
You weren't the only one who liked it. It had a relegation system, team management and upgrades. The pause to shoot threw off a lot of people though!
Thats the first time I've heard the name Bubby Brister in over 20 years. well done, drunk....
Confession: I've got a soft spot for Bill Laimbeer's Combat Basketball. There was a short period in my early childhood where that was the only game I had access to. I vaguely remember once I realized how bad the game was I wouldn't even try to beat it anymore.

A retro-voice, that's a new one. Thanks for watching
It's okay if you have a bit of a boy-crush on his voice. It's a nice voice. No need to worry.
Ok ok i admit it lol
Skulljank: Revolt of my Lunch should be the title associated with that box art!
The comeback of Bill Laimbeers combat basketball to snes drunk videos xD
I would play the HELL out of a Perfect Strangers video game, someone needs to Kickstart this STAT.
Escape From Meepos
Dance of Joy
"Run N Gun? More like a Jog N Gun!" XD
I got Bill Laimbeer’s Combat Basketball with my SNES because it was 1993 and the game was cheap. I also had ActRaiser and Populous along with the pack-in of Super Mario World. That said, I developed a weird love for Combat Basketball and would play it for hours on end.

Thanks for wishing me a great rest of my day
I have not thought of Pete Incaviglia in decades. This channel just gets better and better.
He was good on the phillies in 93...n if u play drunks favorite sports game ken griffey jr baseball...he's the best hr hitter for the phillies...u jus have to take him off the bench...
Ah, yes. Denver Bronco legend, Bubby Brister
The guy kicking on the front of Championship Karate is former British PM Tony Blair. Little known fact for you!
Look. Combat Basketball was total crap in a lot of ways but I had dozens of hours of fun playing it with my brothers. The two player versus is actually a fun time. Ridiculous and fun.
I DEMAND that the retro community home brew Pete Incaviglia's Combat Baseball immediately.
I remember going over some kid's house and he had that Godzilla game and it was just horrible. I remember thinking "man, this game sucks balls."
I got that Godzilla game for Christmas when I was 12. My mom let me open it early. I beat it in 4 hours. It was terrible. Luckily I got a playstation that Christmas with some new games.
At :51, it sounds like you said "...play Captain America and the Avengers on SNEga Genesis." :P
There is some serious name drop energy in this video
Are you talking about the Terminator rail shooter? Because as a kid i loved that shit. Me and the Lopez bros. were on that shit!
Unholy Night was a huge disappointment :( We know the SNES can do some magnificent fighting games, and the pedigree of the developers for UN was intense, but man... what a hideous game when it finally launched :(
The bubby Brister combat football cracked me up!! and I will confess I like combat basketball but it was really frustrating at times.. Looking back not sure why I liked it so well lol
Fewer than 6 interceptions-- HAHA! Clearly you grew up watching Brister play...
John Stossel. Again. LMAO.
Bill Laimbeer's Combat Basketball is a shameless ripoff of Speedball 2 on the Amiga. Shameless!
Putty Squad was a game I remember always renting as a kid because the box art was cool........ But the game was not good XD lol IDK why I never realized the game sucked, I just forgot
Mindscape: God these games are awful...
LJN: Hold my beer
Unholy Night is so bloody clunky. Disappointed I purchased it.
“Pete Incavelia’s Combat Baseball” LOL. You are awesome man!
“Hot Chewing Tobacco Action!”
93 phillies...he's awesome in ken griffey jr baseball too..
You had me rolling at the Pete Incaviglia and Bubby Brister references.
The biker chick baddie in outlander walks like an old woman powerwalking.
Gee, wonder why you wanted to play "Brandish" so bad...
Honorable mention Lagoon? Decent cover art but ugh gameplay.
I thought outlander was amazing
Great video, as always. I love this channel for a few reasons. One, I love the little "Sssss....Nes Drunk" jingle at the beginning, and 2, the depth of the references is amazing. I mean, Bubby Brister??? Bubby freaking Brister... now that is a name I have not heard in a long, long time.
I quite like Outlander, though the scrolling parts do have crappy character figures
I even like those parts 😆 is where you get the stuff !
“Two fire-breathing dragons”
😂. I’m a huge Godzilla nerd so that had me rolling
Hey, just wanted to let you know you are one of my favorite RUclipsrs and I wish you well.
Thanks for watching Matt
Another great video. Im going to be out here defending Super Godzilla all my life - I love that game.
KakkaRotSRL literally looking to see comments just like this.
I used to speedrun it so I'm biased. You can beat it in about 50 minutes. It's really fun when you understand the battle mechanics - the fights are supposed to be slow, it's not a beat 'em up!
Thank you!! Love that game so much.
Loved this game as a kid
The hours I spent on best of the best...good memories.
It's an amazing game. I can still play it today and have a lot of fun. The customization of the style of your fighter by selecting the techniques to use is an amazing idea, and the fight mechanism itself is pretty realistic. Man I love this game so much.
Never heard of Skuljagger. Almost want to give it a go.
Damn, I had outlander and gunfarce. Can confirm, they were real bad.
Nahh outlander is rad !
Combat Basketball is just a ripoff from Speedball II. But worse.
Just curious, how long it does normally take you to make a 5 to 7 minute review? I've been wanting to get into similarly lengthened reviews myself, but often have trouble really easing my workload. Any tips would be nice.
No idea what the hour amount would be so I'll just say "a weekend"
Gunforce 2 is a lot better. The first game on arcade had better frame rate, but was incredible more difficult at the point of being unfair compared to the SNES port. As for Gunforce 2, also played on arcade. Has some lag because of the quantity of bullets, but was playable and really fun. Some says it's the prequel to Metal Slug, so it's worth checking out.
john Syossel has a youtube channel where he still exposes things that rarely get talked about in the regular media. his channel is quite good.
Stosselmania is running wild
What, like the time he covered video games and was it Mario 2? This is probably why Drunk dislikes him so...
I don't dislike John Stossel, he's just comedic fodder
Wow. Outlander seemed like a pretty decent game when I rented it at the time. It was just looooooooong..
It's actually nice !
bubby brister lol gid damn u gotta he a steeler fan
My dad and I finished GunForce about six months ago; it was perfect speed for us ;)
ROFL SNES Cap'n & The Avengers was so wacky. The constant plap plap plap sound of combat punctuated by a soundbyte of your dad the day you flushed his keys down the toilet. NOOOO!! DX
Outlander on snes is crap, but the megadrive version is actually not that bad, the driving section especially is a technical marvel, the view is more "3d" than the fake outrun road you have on the snes and the framerate is better too, plus it's seen from the driving seat and the sprites are huge
Unholy night looks like SF Alpha 2. 🤔🙁

DementedDistraction I remember playing that game at the Galleria Mall arcade in LA (The same mall featured in Terminator 2) and I was addicted! Bought the genesis port years later and still play it to this day!
Don't judge ANY game by it's cover.
If only I did that when I was a kid...
Randomark3087 as a kid I avoided the Adventure Island series cuz I though the protagonist looked so dumb haha. I regret it cuz I heard those games were great!!
Thank goodness for mobile web now. If I come across a game, a quick look up of screenshots and a quick gander at an LP and I usually have a good idea whether I'll enjoy it or not :D
I still play the snes till this day
bejais

Edit: but tbh I will lean more towards older consoles/games in the future.
Dj LilRico90 they can pry the snes controller from my cold dead hands
Good games are better than new games.
Do you know that Best of the Best Championship Karate is a same port port of TurboGrafx's Andre Panza's Kick Boxing, but different versions?

I swear I CAN PULL OFF THE CHARACTERS’ MOVES 100% OF THE TIME AND IT’S ACTUALLY QUITE EASY! (Not sounding angry or anything) The other positive points besides gameplay it has are the sprites of the characters (also fantastic because anime, be careful what you say ‘cuz o’ weebs. Anime-style fighters are like bread and butter but digitizing real life people that’s like vomit, sorry Mortal Kombat fans) as they have a pretty decent amount of animation frames actually, the music is awesome too (MIDI can sound awesome. J-fighters are well known for excellent soundtracks too) as is the box art which I would keep up in my room but the character roster is small which is kind of a bummer. All in all, I think it’s good and worth picking up but your opinion may differ from mine because we’re all different. But it isn’t as good as all the other Japanese fighting games today which are practically perfect in terms of gameplay. I’m sad to see Unholy Night get a bad rap among retro gamers. It’s definitely better than those crappy western fighters, even on the Genesis back in the day if you ask me. I also wish to see an HD reworking of Unholy Night at arcades or on Steam or on consoles, go ahead and yell at me if you wish.
I have to agree that the cover is freaking awesome and the game itself is a bit of a letdown, but I personally love Brandish, but you do have to get over that huge hurdle of the rotating screen in order to enjoy it. The music and challenging gameplay got me hooked.
Just a few anecdotes:
Best of the Best Championship Karate was originally released in France as « André Panza Kickboxing » on Atari ST and Amiga home computers in 1990. The whole selling point was the very fluid animation and ability to customise your fighting style. Cool concept at the time. Then Street Fighter 2 happened.
Gun Force: didn’t mean anything to me until I saw the game. It’s a port of a pretty fun arcade game by Irem, « GunForce: Battle Engulfed Terror Island » (that’s a mouthful). I didn’t even know it had been ported to any home system!
Honestly that cover is tacky. It would have been better if they had stuck to the arcade art. 😁
Best of the Best karate championship (lol) is actually a port of Panza Kick Boxing, a game for the Atari-ST and Amiga computers. The original is much better and smoother, without the weird changes/additions like the weird ass monkey guy that sometimes shows up cheering, there's no crowd until you get up in the ranks, no "kumite" stuff, and the faces and names aren't stupid like in the SNES/MD versions (and it's based on a champion, Andre Panza). I was really disappointed when i played that, as i had the original on ST.
Bill Laimbeer's combat basketball is a bad ripoff of SpeedBall II: Brutal Deluxe, the awesome game from the Bitmap Brothers (also on Amiga, Atari-ST and MD). Still baffles me they didn't make a SNES version of that game !
Hey SNESdrunk, have you ever played that weird-ass Captain Tsubasa game on the super famicom (I don't think it was ever released on the SNES)? Such a bizarre game. It's like... a cross between an RPG and a soccer game. I played it a lot because I used to love the anime as a kid. Thank you and have a good rest of your day.
On the NES we have The Guardian Legend (1989), a sci-fi game with a hybrid zelda-like action-adventure and shmup style of gameplay where you control an android girl that can turn into a x-wing or something and it's absolutely amazing but the north american cover is a super shitty evil face that has nothing to do with the game itself, possibly contributing to the game's low sales.
I have to disagree with you. Super Godzilla is a lot of fun. It's tactical, and more about how you approach the monsters as well as an interesting fight mechanic. The music and special attacks are really nice, and the designs of Super Godzilla and Bagan are unique. Now Cyber Spin? Yeah, bang on right there. I hated that game as a kid.
Please review the godzilla kaiju dakaizzen (I forgot how to spell the last part of the title) this is a far superior game for godzilla on the snes. Kicks super Godzillas ass. Think kinda like mortal kombat but with godzilla. Also don't forget about godzilla domination for GBA!! Both are great so get on it please!! They both are very deserving of reviews on your channel imo.
so funny story, i was given Super Godzilla for my 7th birthday. I was never able to beat it. From 97 to 09 I'd have the same reoccurring nightmare where Godzilla would kill me because I couldn't beat the game. After years of being haunted by that nightmare, I finally beat the game the day of my highschool graduation. Definitely won't revisit it.
I. Fuck*n love love loved Best of the Best!! And my first Super Nintendo game... I loved them....loved.... maybe 6 year old me wasn’t on point with what quality games where lol
oh man I m so glad I found out about unholy night before I saw it at a convention.
The coverart, the name and the concept. How can this be bad?
It was a kickstarter that didn't hit it's goal. Someone picked up the rights to the game and released what was there.
6 characters, 2 themesongs and a few boring backdrops.
Unless you can get this game for the dirtiest of cheap stay away from it. It's 99% boxart 1% game.
The funny thing about both Captain America and the Avengers and Outlander is that the Megadrive versions are pretty decent. Captain America is much closer to the arcade version and Outlander runs much smoother, has greater enemy variety during the driving sequences which are in First person and even the on foot stuff feels a bit better. Okay sure, Outlander still isn't an amazing game, but it's perfectly playable and it was the best option for a Mad Max game until the 2015 game which is honestly a great game both as part of the franchise and just as an open-world action game.
I gotta disagree on some of these -- like that Godzilla cover looks fucking stupid -- and that gameplay is exactly what I would have expected (and rightfully passed on). -- Same with some of the other games... the cover is clearly telling you exactly how bad the game will be. :-P
Mindscape seems like the LJN of the Super Nintendo Era, except they made some really great PC and Amiga games.
My guess is that they just weren't all that familiar with the hardware, so the result was just trashy.
Oh and the 2 dragons on the Godzilla games were two of King Gidorah's heads.
hubby brister mention ,,,, nice
