Sadly I think I have watched all 500+ reviews haha
Chris Beach that is not sad
@@benlewis3847 I know haha. I'm just saying snesdrunk thinks people hasn't watched every review... He's wrong 😂
Everytime a new video comes out I watch it no matter what game or games he reviews. It's all well done and put together like a champ!
I also watch them all regardless.
Happily!
Legend of the Mystical Ninja was such a special game when it came out in the West. It was so different and so Japanese. I felt like I was transported to a different world playing it. Everything in the game was so new, different and fresh. Man, I miss the Konami of the 80s and 90s.
Check out games by treasure. They were a bunch from Konami that went out on their own made some good stuff for sega
At the end of your videos, I always quietly say "Thank you" to myself. I hope you enjoy the rest of your day too. :)
Wholesome.
Yeah me too I always think to myself thank you mister drunk you too
I thought I was the only one. I say "Thank you, sir. Likewise".
this may have been my favorite snnnnnnnnnnesssssssdrunk intro
Another great vid. SNES drunk is the only channel where I consistently find new snes games to play.
Yeah not only that even the comments help
Just found out about this channel and wanted to say thank you. The SNES is the best video game console ever and it's awesome seeing so many unique games that aren't generally known.
no joke. for me this Is the best channel on RUclips. I Watch every single video in the playlist and never get's old to Watch again the entire playlist again and agan. Simply perfect.
What's the point of people disliking your videos? I never got that with this channel. You're such a cool guy, just sound so agreeable and you're basically just a nonprofit service worker informing all of us about random games. There literally isn't anything to dislike.
Dude, that racing/beat-em-up game looks badass
It looks like a Mad Max game
Uchuu no Kishi Tekkaman Blade is a game based on the popular Tatsunoko anime character, Tekkaman!
Speaking of Super Famicom games, Hana no Keiji is a mix between a JRPG and a fighting game, and is based on a popular manga series from the creator of Fist of The North Star
Tekkaman Blade was on RUclips (both seasons!) at some point, don't know if it still is.
Would Jurassic Park count? As that turns into an FPS when you go in a building.
Actually, have you considered doing a video on SNES FPSes?
Hi Slopes Bundy Jr. I'm a fan of your channel.
If you count Jurassic Park, then i only know of three games in that genre. The other two are Doom and Wolfenstein. And the Noah's Ark game i suppose.
If you want to be technical, the Super Scope games count as FPSes. Yoshi's Safari, Battle Clash, and Metal Combat are three excellent examples.
go away Larry.
@@jeffcox6539 aww, thanking you kindly sir!
Yu Yu Hakusho, Out Of Bounds Golf, Ninja Colosseum, Genseki Battle, and Umihara Kawase are a few more that come to mind. Looking forward to a part 3!
I found Umiwara Kawase on a ROM site ages ago and I continue to be fascinated with it. I haven't played it in ages but someone needs to talk about it more!
Who wants a "Sega genesis games that never left japan" video?
A lot of that video would be "this game looks great, but it was never translated". God, what I wouldn't give to play The Hybrid Front...
It's a pretty weak list compared to Super Famicom and PC Engine because Mega Drive sold poorly in Japan. Still, probably enough material for one video. I don't really understand why ANY Japan exclusives were released for MD by publishers other than Sega, but they do exist.
I DO \o/
Since the Mega Drive sold poorly in Japan, it's more likely that there's a lot of US/European games that never got to Japan. But I know at least Langrisser II is a Mega Drive game that never left Japan, which is the game that got adapted to Der Langrisser on the Super Famicom
:v /
Greatest snes channel on youtube, so much knowledge here.
These two videos are an incredible list of games. This is really great. Thank you!
(Also, the intro variation on this one is pretty fun.)
Lol I remember when I discovered your channel. It took me a while to catch-up. I remember writing how many hours your videos were up to that point.
What a great channel dude.
Tekkaman was my fav character in an insane Wii fighter game Capcom made with Roll, Megaman, Yatterman, a lot of Darkstalkers and Street Fighters. Two characters took up the entire screen.
Tekkaman blade is a bad ass anime series.
I've watched everything you have uploaded since I subbed and more!!!
There are 2 series, the old one from the 70th "Tekkaman" and the if i can call it that (new one) "Tekkaman Blade" from the 90th.
@@GOGOAKUMAN The latter is better known to English audiences as "Teknoman".
Nice info, thanks.
Yea! A follow up to my suggestion. Thanks for putting this together again drunk!
I think Goof Troop and Sutte Hakkun could be considered genre defying, there really isn't anything else like them.
I thought I already knew everything about the SNES library, I thank you for showing me how wrong I was with these awesome videos!
Great video as usual dude. Enjoyed this one extra, always love being introduces to something new and obscure. I love the Goemon games on SFC.
Well, wow. You just solved a Japan only mystery game I only played once in a rental place. Its Zoku! Thanks man! =)
This is a fantastic list, I love multi-genre stuff, also glad to see some love for Zoku: The Legend of Bishin. That's a neat one, memorizing the road layout for the driving parts is a bit tedious, but the beat-em-up parts are very well done, also the soundtrack is awesome!
I have been a long-time viewer of your channel and always look forward to your uploads. The SNES is my favorite game console of all time, and these genre-defying titles are some interesting examples of why the system was so great.
I absolutely love your channel, thank you.
Love these videos, thanks man.
Thanks for sharing the Firestriker game objective. I have played this game a few times not really knowing what to do. Will definitely enjoy this game now that I know what needs to be done.
thanks again SNES drunk, luv all your content
Holy shit, Zoku looks awesome.
looks way better than it plays, unfortz
its not a good game sadly
Good work dude, congrats
Exelente trabajo
Mis felicitaciones
Man, some really bizarre stuff in this one.. Great vid as always. I learned a lot.
I thank you for putting a list in the description when you do lists. I don't watch ads for people that don't do that.
The Legend of the Mystical Ninja SNES game is actually a part of the Goemon series which started as an arcade game called Mr. Goemon and was the first SNES game in the series. The Japanese title for the first SNES Goemon game is Ganbare Goemon: Yukihime Kyuushutsu Emaki and was later rereleased with its sequel on the Kessakusen! Ganbare Goemon 1+2 GBA compilation.
Someone really enjoys this series
These are my go-to videos when I'm drunk. I absolutely love what this guy does and I now watch him more than I play my SNES.
You're the only guy I see on youtube talking about Mystical Ninja, I love that game playing it with my brother.
Dude you're legit and I love your channel.
Fun video. Nice to see Pocky & Rocky 2. I love that one. It was a little odd at first compared to the first one. As for Vortex, it sounds like what they originally intended Star Fox to be before Nintendo narrowed its scope. I've read interviews that they wanted to make it more open ended and free. It sounds like Vortex is more like what they had in mind. Not having to hear the chatter of other characters is a plus.
I am literally watching like every video 🤣🤣just going through the playlist
It took me a few weeks but I've seen every video on your channel ;)
I have an intensely stressful job and I find watching your vids after a shift very soothing.
Just going to have to play, Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise.
It's everything that Zoku: The Legend of Bishin, is but cranked up to the max!
Games like this are why Retro gaming is so important to look back on.
There were so many games back then that did experimental, weird things and committed so hard to their vision. I think the period lasted from the Atari age all the way to about the end of the PS2/GC/Xbox era when games started to become widely accepted by the average person and not just nerds only. After that games seemed to do their best to emulate "the popular thing". Genre defining games like Arkham Asylum, The Last of Us, and Dark Souls were so influential that all competition began to do their best to safely copy their mechanics for widespread success. So many games nowadays can be described by "It feels a lot like XXXX but has a little bit of YYYY too".
The expressions on Pacman's face look amazing
It's a fun game,i played it a lot during the old times and sometimes making him angry is better then just making it happy,it really a wonderful game that i cannot find any other game that look like it
you never fail to suprise me. thanks to you and stay safe!
Love the changing intro tunes in each video
Holy shit man, thank you for showing legend of the mystical ninja. I could not remember the name of this game for years. I played this when I was a kid and it was great.
Your videos giving hearts comfort
My data entry job is straight from Hell. So, I am enjoying ALL of your videos to keep me sane!
Thanks for share those games
Another great video! You can also tell that we’re not watching all your videos from the number of views on each one
100k, you deserve it fella.
sweet, i love i see these types of games
Wow!! tnx to ur video I'll have to try holy umbrella looks amazing game😁😊
Another great video :)
awesome video
I loved King Arthur's World as a kid. I never did beat it but now I am going through it in my SNES classic and having a great time.
Hmm somehow I missed part one time to
Watch and like both !!! Awesomeness!!
FireStriker is the illegitimate lovechild of a Zelda and a soccer game. But it was so cute that you didn’t mind the public knowing.
6:55 SPACE KNIGHT TEKKAMAN BLADE! (Aka Teknoman). That game is based off my all time favorite mecha anime!
I was about to comment this!
I watched Teknoman as a kid, it was my first anime (other than Robotech I guess)
Oh how I would love a modern game based on the anime
Can you really call it a mecha anime? He wasn't piloting a giant robot, he was wearing a suit of armor.
@@Shorai_3 it does have mecha in it though, Ringo and Balzak use mechs. However it's not its central focus.
Pegasus, also.
I would call it a mecha anime just to more easily explain where it fits.
Jason Scarce he effectively transforms into one... not to mention he's made multiple appearances in SRW... BEFORE they started including everything under the sun. Also there are legit mecha like Pegas in it, as well as robotic power armor, aka the Sol Tekkaman Armors.
@@Kenshiro3rd None of that makes it a mecha series. To call it one because a supporting character pilots one is like somebody classifying the Ninja Turtles a "rat series" because their sensei is one. Takaya himself doesn't fall under the official banner of a mecha warrior because, as you pointed out, he a modified human wearing power armor and not in the cockpit of a giant bipedal robot. He's officially labeled as an armored warrior. Also, Takaya appearance in SRW was controversial on the account that, again, he's an armored warrior and not a mecha warrior. Everybody else felt that Pegasis fit the criteria for inclusion. Plus, SRW isn't even canon to anything to begin with.
Lawnmower Man was very strange as a kid. It goes from a side scroller sci fi shooter into a first person...where am I? Where am I going...?
Kmart used to sell used SNES/GEN games in the mid 90’s in generic packaging and one of the games was Firestriker for only $5. I still have it to this day and I never got far into it as I sucked at the game haha! I may have to try it, again.
You'd find some gems in those generic packages sometimes. My mom would let us a something $5 and under every once in awhile. We always choose the cheap games. Happy we did almost all them are worth 4 times what we paid haha.
I found a sealed Castlevania bloodlines for genesis at a toys r us for 10$
Love this video!
Would love to see you do this type of stuff for the gba and the ds too. They’ve got tons of import gems and unreleased stuff and I’m sure all your fans would love to hear your opinions. I’m also just curious to see what you dig up. You still always manage to surprise me even today on games that just managed to slip by. I mean I’ve played zoku, just never had the patience to get past the “racing” portions to even get to the beat em up portions. Thank you s-drunk!
I really appreciate how you make me aware of so many Japan only games, I just wish you'd show a picture of the boxart or cartridge. So many times I've been in my local retro game store and have no idea what all the Famicom games are
I want that YTHBNail its gorgeous!
cool video bro I used to love king Arthurs world back in the day
Holy Umbrella Condensation Man! That Cumulonimbus cloud looks threatening!
That Tekkaman Blade game was one of first I emulated on early SNES emulators in mid to later 90s as I loved the Teknoman series on fox kids here in UK which was a dub of the Tekkaman Blade anime. 🙂
i used to love playing pac man 2 adventures. i had no idea what i was doing but i rented that game like 5 times lol
Can't believe its a year and a half since part 1 ~ O.O Jesus! Looks like was last month I was rushing to beat them all (And I did) Time for part 2
Oh, my, I loved Legend of the Mystical Ninja, I got it in Japanese as a kid and didn't understand a damn what was happening but man was it fun and intuitive...
Always great
Don't forget the anime that goes with the Tekkaman Blade game. The english version was called Teknoman. I love that show. It's like an early version of Neon Genesis.
Rampart. Weird real-time-strategy/puzzle/shooter that's a lot of fun but really hard to describe.
this deserves more views!
My suggestion is Rampart, a port of an arcade game from the 80s. You and an opponent take turns building castle walls out of Tetris style pieces and then blowing them up with cannonballs. Whoever ends a turn without having a contiguous wall loses.
It's one of my favorite 2 player games. It's pretty simple but super fun and the winner gets to make the loser walk the plank!
oh MAN I played the hell out of that Pac-Man 2 game. It was the strangest thing, but the various areas you could go to and explore, as well as the people you could interact with, was pretty interesting.
Tekkaman Blade is a classic anime by Tatsunoko like Cashern (which inspired the Megaman series btw) in 1992. Tekkaman Blade is also a playable character in Tatsunoko vs Capcom for the little story :)
Super Famicom Gundam games can fit into this category sometimes. There is a turn based one (with mostly complete translation patch) called "Super Gachapon World SD Gundam X" that on the surface seems like a Super Famicom Wars clone but on a hex map instead of a grid, but when you get to the combat the game turns into a weird 2D shooter fighter hybrid. To clarify that, the controls in combat feel similar to what you would expect from a 2D scrolling shooter of the time, but rather than scrolling through a level, you are fighting the enemy units within a set area like a fighting game. The units also have life bars. The game has a handy auto combat feature if you don't like the weird twitchy combat controls (combat feels very fast). And when fighting against ships, the combat is basically like the Famicom Wars games. Unfortunately, there is no story mode, so I guess this can be a bit TOO much like SF Wars at times. But if you like the Gundam series, and don't mind the weird Super Deformed graphics that a bunch of Gundam games from this era had for some reason, then you might enjoy that the game features a bunch of recognizable Mobile Suits.
There is another game that I unfortunately only played as a kid (and it had no patch back then) that was much stranger. All I can remember from it was that the combat was done in a sort of first person mode, with you having to rely on your radar to essentially dogfight enemy Mobile Suits, but the actual attacks weren't in real time, oddly enough. Instead, you had a variety of attacks you could choose from, and when you had an enemy in your sights, you would hit the appropriate attack and then a sort of cinematic animation would play, where you would either deal damage, destroy them, or miss. So I guess it was like a weird first person dogfighting in real time with turn based combat slapped on top type of thing... Hard to know if it had RPG elements since there was a lot of Japanese text that I couldn't read so I was never able to really get far and this was well over a decade ago when I played it.
I bet the second game you mentioned is Mobile Suit Gundam F91. It has been translated recently.
@@LuisRamos-yx8mj That was definitely it! Looks like I was mistaken about it having a first person view.
@@JAMJR84 when you get into a fight, there is a sort of first person view
i liked the video just for the harmonies in the intro lol
Favorite intro so far 😁🤘
You've probably covered this but E.V.O. the search for eden deserves it's own video. Maybe even covering the prequel game which is complicated as hell to emulate.
You're one of RUclips's finest man I can't believe you found all these games and played them too !
I know of a few NES games that defied genre quite a bit.
The Guardian Legend is one of my favorites. It's a vertical shmup that, when you clear an area, transitions to a Zelda/Blaster Master sort of dungeon crawl.
Another one that I only saw and was freaking crazy was "Wurm: Journey to the Center of the Earth". It had side scrolling shooter sections, vertical shooter sections, platforming sections, and the bosses were fought in first person gallery shooter style. Unlike some multigenre games, each section was pulled off pretty well and had an interesting narrative.
Alright, some other hybrid SNES games you could cover:
Lemmings itself - RTS/Puzzle
Super Ninja Boy/Super Chinese World and Super Chinese World 2 - JRPG/Beat 'em up
Romancing SaGa - Arguably a JRPG/WRPG Hybrid
Jaki Crush - Pinball/Shooter
Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen - TBS/RTS hybrid with "Real-time with pausing" battles
Kessen! Dokapon Okukoku IV: Densetsu no Yuusha Tachi - RPG/Board Game
Batman Returns - Beat 'em up/Action Platformer/Racing Action Hybrid
Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals/Estpolis Denki II - JRPG/Rogue-lite
Clock Tower - Quest Adventure/Survival Horror
Rendering Ranger: R2 - Action Platformer/Horizontal Shoot 'em up
Super Mario RPG - JRPG/ARPG/Isometric Platform Adventure
Battletoads & Double Dragon - Beat 'em up/Misc. Action
Earthworm Jim 1-2, The Lion King - Platformer/Misc. Action
Hameln no Violin Hiki - Puzzle Platformer/Action Platformer
Demolition Man - Action Platformer/TD View Maze Action
Chaos Engine - Maze Action w/ RPG/AA elements
That Metroid intro was 🔥
If you enjoyed YamYam, I'd give Panorama Cotton on the Genesis a go. An English translation was just released, and it's honestly a fantastic game in the vein of Sega's Super Scaler titles like Space Harrier.
I believe the line of dialogue you showed in Zoku: The Legend of Bishin is saying "Hey, wait a moment. You look like one of the companions of those guys".
Man I dont even play snes but I love these videos.
Hey, you can never, ever mentioned Ganbare Goemon enough. I wish you added a few clips from the third installment because that game is a blast! It features all characters with their unique abilities and a nice variety of different levels. It really deserves a translation patch
That's about 514 great rest of my days I've had in my lifetime. :D
I love pocky and rocky 2, Natsume was a great developer.
Yes
The Legend of Bishin reminds me of a game I used to play on the Atari ST. Think it was called 'Techno Cop' Was awesome
I like the vid... but there's enough material for more. Lets list a few genre-defiant games:
-EVO: The search for Eden
-Hero Senki: Project Olympus
-Mario is Missing
-Robotrek
-Mario Paint
I wish they would make a Vegas stakes 2. The random encounters in that game made it head and shoulders above any other gambling game.
I know one on Famicom, I believe the game is called Fuzzical Fighter or something similar, but it is a horizontal shooter mixed with RPG elements, as you go to towns and their shops to buy items and upgrades and equip them, or visit an inn. It does have a translation patch.
Luv that zoku art cover
What a great day, snes drunk is here!
The Zoku; Legend of Bishin game looks freaking amazing.
