Having worked at Sierra during most of the 90s, I was a PC gamer through and through. Didn't own any consoles in the 90s... hence the reason why I bring in experts like The Immortal John Hancock.
I know about it, but due to time limitations, we went with just a small portion of the games that I pulled for this series. We all are going to have hidden gems that we want covered. Some had to make the cut.
Neat observation. probably how they easily named the character from taking it from their company capcom. Also, capcoms name comes from shortening their actual company’s full name: capsule computers.
In regards to Peace Keepers, that trilogy consists of Rival Turf, Brawl Brothers, and Peace Keepers. Glad to see it make the list, it's an awesome game.
More Hidden Gems for Super Nintendo including uncommon 3rd Party Controllers! Games Shown: QBert 3 The Peace Keepers Wolf Child Kendo Rage Captain Commando Firepower 2000 Shadowrun Biometal Stealth Controller Messiah Wireless Capcom Arcade Stick What are some of the more interesting controllers for the SNES?
Well dood. If you suck at Q-bert you probably haven´t tried hoging the cabinet in a 45 degree angle? Same goes for a controller on emulation on a modern system. Hold that controller in a 45 degree angle. A world of difference, I promise.
Philip Wilcox I think he mentioned Phalanx in another list somewhere, but I'm not *completely* sure about that. It has to be mentioned for the box art alone, though.
I'm playing through Shadowrun Returns on the iPad right now. Are you familiar with that new game? How does it compare to the Genesis version? I heard it might be the spiritual successor to that
It's funny to see Captain Commando in this list when actually it was very famous here in Brazil during several years. We could easily find this arcade around here, and people loved it, as for Cadillacs and Dinossaurs, another famous one that was not ported to the snes. Excelent video by the way...
Love this segment of your show! I just started my SNES collection and this is a great way to learn about the systems hidden gems. Thanks, keep up the great work and keep them coming!
I always forget about the MSX. I have some friends that fullfill my MSX needs. Super hard to collect for(have to buy stuff online mostly now). Thanks for the background on the Valis.
Jason it was a pleasure to have met you,Paul and John at the Portland Gaming Expo. I would like to thank all three of you guys on taking the time to chat me. I admit being star struck to have met all three you guys in person. Your panel was both AWESOME and informative. I would also like to thank you all for the free game I received at the panel that was xbox's 007 Night Fire. Paul actually flipped in my direction and I was very happy catch it. John thank you for DVD on collecting. Rock on
I found this channel yesterday when i was watching cgr. I love this channel now, so far this is the only channel i have watched where i will watch the ads. Keep up the good work
Glad you enjoyed the Expo and our Panel. If you have a question you'd like answered, record an AUDIO QUESTION with your phone/computer and send it to our podcast: AllGenGamers (dot) com
The three games in this trilogy by Jaleco were named Rushing Beat, Rushing Beat Ran, and Rushing Beat Shura in Japan. Their US names were Rival Turf, Brawl Brothers, and The Peace Keepers, respectively. Although I hated the moronic robot enemy and cartoon character icons in Rushing Beat Shura, I found it moronic that the music was cut from The Peace Keepers (yes, there was music in the game and it was pretty good). However, aside from enemy names and some cut scenes, Rival Turf remained unchanged and you could actually access the full and unchanged game of Rushing Beat Ran through Brawl Brothers legitimately through a secret code. I also owned The Peace Keepers.
One game that I liked that wasn't on the list was "Brain Lord." It is an action RPG with a top down view and a heavy emphasis on puzzle solving. "Brain Lord" is (in my opinion) Enix's (now Square Enix) take on the Zelda series. Very good game and worth checking out. :)
I forgot all about Brain Lord! I remember me and my brother renting it a few times but can't remember much about the game other than I loved it. I had no idea it was obscure in any way.
Firepower 2000 was called Silkworm IV on the Amiga and what made it awesome, is the levels were streamed from disk, so you didn't have to wait for the next level to load.
One of the best hidden gems I ever played was an r-type style game called U.N. Squadron. Awesome game. Upgradeable plains and bombs made it one of my favorite games as a kid, you should check it out.
Just found an arcade controller for the MSX series of machines. It was used in arcades to a cabinet that had a MSX machine inside and primary for Pachinko games, popular in Japan. The controller is a Pasoko-1000, and was listed as junk, I am just uploading a video where I show how I repaired it. Great series with John, some really good picks in this part. The Valis series started on the MSX computers (although the 1st game is not that good).
I liked the extra at the end where you showed some really unique and cool controllers. I think the hidden gem series is my favorite out or your videos. I would like to see another for the original PlayStation and Xbox if you have enough material for that. Keep up the awesome work on this channel!
I would love to, but I am not the editor, nor have the time to pump out a consistent video time after time. I would much rather guest on MJR's and just have some silly fun :)
If I remember correctly the Peace Keepers brawler had a Battle Royal feature for up to 4 players. You could also go through the options and change the colors of the characters in the game. No joke, you could turn the hero green or the big dude with a mohawk pink. Fun stuff.
The brawlers from the "trilogy" are "Rival Turf", "Brawl Brothers" and the last of them "The Peace Keepers", fun games with awesome soundtrack. I dont know if The peace keepers is related to the other two, but the others, yes they are.
Tradewest's Plok (for the music alone) and Soldiers of Fortune (Chaos Engine) are two "hidden gems" worth checking out. And Shadowrun SNES is one of my all-time favs.
These hidden gems videos are my absolute favorite videos to watch. I didn’t think there was anything left to discover on the Super Nintendo and man was I wrong! I tried a few of these games you guys discussed and I had a ton of fun. Thank you for reigniting my love of video games MJR and John Hancock love this channel! 👍
What I love about SNES and Genesis; even if the same game or series was released on both systems, they often offered completely different experiences, unlike today's multi-plats.
I actually glad to see kendo's rage make the list, I haven't been able to own the game myself, but its definitely high on my priority list when I start collecting for the snes.
Another unique controller exclusive to Japan was the Hori SGB Commander. It could not only function as a regular SNES/SRC pad, but also could switch to a mode with functions exclusive to the Super Game Boy.
4:40.... the first snes game, where i got stuck and wasnt able to beat the game from my last save-point. Really need to replay & finish it some day soon.
I think you need to bring John Hancock to the show more often. I feel like people are knocking him pretty bad about being awkward but I think he's a pretty funny and likable guy. Also he does look like Billy Mays and when your name is John Hancock you just ooze awesome.
Love the video. Talking about weird controllers theres this gigantic twin arcade stick for the sega saturn its like 400 bucks, think its made by hori. Hori is the Cadillac to arcade sticks
There's a nice little SNES game called On The Ball that plays like a 2D version of Monkey Ball - you rotate the maze to roll the marble to the exit. Was a Taito arcade game and it's ported really well to the SNES. Works great with the standard controller but it also supports the SNES mouse controller.
I had about 100 SNES games when I was a kid. Out of all three videos I only owned two of the gems he presented. Pac Attack and Firepower 2000. Firepower was great, very difficult. I barely got past the first stage.
I have Firepower 2000. It's a great game. I think at the menu screen you press select and then it will have a separate screen and then you pressed select and then you press start and 2-Player mode activates.
I like how seemingly neutral John is in his videos. He has collections for systems that compete vs each other, but he doesn't seem like he's too much a fan boy for either system when comparing them.
The Peace Keepers is called in japan Rushing Beat the trilogy is the one I mention RB Ran and RB Shura that is peace keepers all of them where release in US but with different names the first one is Rival Turf, second is Brawl Brothers just in case some is looking for them. The other game Kendo Rage is called in japan Makeruna Makendo and there are two games the first one is the platformer and the second is a vs fighter. Great video guys.
I am both speechless and forever grateful, 2 games I've been trying to figure out the title for from my childhood I found today. Bio Metal was sooo good (also hard) been trying to figure out the title for years. That and Musya from the second Snes hidden gems video, 1 Million Thank you's to John! It's so hard to find a game when all you remember is "well it's a space shooter on snes...it had cool music..."
Another great video guys. I liked that you gave the Capcom arcade stick some love there at the end. There are a lot of crazy arcade sticks out there for the SNES, but the truth is that most of them suck balls. The Battle Station II, the Champonship Pro, and the Capcom sticks are some of the only ones that hold up to this day. Micro switches for the win! Keep up the great work guys. Great video!
I do have a couple of spare MSX titles (although nothing complete - as although I have found a bit complete lately most MSX items are loose cartridges). I have heaps of controllers and hardware as well. Plus of course my original titles which I am re-releasing shortly.
Ever since realizing I can use my PS4 controller to control my cellphone emulators I've been eating these games up!!! I love it!!! more more more please!!
Glad you have props to Shadowrun! I would have mentioned it if you didn't. Great unsung gem on the SNES. I'd like to mention the Breath of Fire games; BoF 1 & 2 came out for the SNES, later ported to the GBA. They're excellent JRPGs made by Capcom. If you like classic console RPGs, I'd highly recommend both games. Another game I like is Drakkhen. It's a launch title for the SNES and it's an RPG more along the line of D&D. It's not for everyone, but it you like tabletop RPGs, you should like it.
@MetalJesusRocks, Another great video! I've been watching your channel now for several weeks and I love it. You put out so much good info and have interesting guests who are fun to watch and listen to. I'm also a huge Star Wars fan, if you couldn't tell by my username lol. I just wanted to mention a hidden gem of my own, Gradius III. It's a side scrolling space shooter made by Konami and has great game play and an awesome soundtrack. Keep up the great videos!
No one ever talks about "B.O.B." on both SNES and Genesis. Awesome platformer. Robot with cool upgrades and different weapons. Really good looking. Awesome hidden gem!
nice games in there.some of these i played.Hagane,Peace Keepers and Super Turrican 2 are all awesome.i loved every minute of playing these back in the day.i'll be looking into these new discoveries,thanks!
Wouldn't say that Knights of Round was very well known on the SNES but by a select few it's more known these days though and Captain Commando was pretty known in the arcades during the early 90's, least up here in Vancouver anyway.
great choices here. i never liked the gumball sticks for arcade. the ones that came stock on street fighter 2 cabinets were my favorite (they were vertically thick throughout instead of just having a gumball "on top")
I've heard of some of these, but the only one I own so far is Firepower 2000. I like that game so much it got me started on video reviews on my own channel.
I have the same 3rd party stealth arcade stick. It actually works really well! There is another capcom controller that i have called the Capcom Pad Soldier. Its a bit weird, but once you get used to it, its kind of like a mini pseudo arcade stick. Works great with street fighter games! :)

I know about it, but due to time limitations, we went with just a small portion of the games that I pulled for this series. We all are going to have hidden gems that we want covered. Some had to make the cut.
I just realized...Captain Commando = CAPtain COMmando = CAPCOM
Bardia Mansoori Holy shit, I never noticed D;
That's funny, I just realized the same thing, after you explained it to me.
Congrats.
Holy shit, that's right.
Neat observation. probably how they easily named the character from taking it from their company capcom. Also, capcoms name comes from shortening their actual company’s full name: capsule computers.
I remember Peace keepers as Rushing Beat Run and it was 4 players with the Multitap...used to love it 👍
amazing collection! Drugs ruined my life & i sold off virtually all my retro games.. Thank God im clean now & can slowly get some of my stuff back
+Thomas Gonzalez Glad to hear you are clean now, congrats!
Congrats man! Way to go
Thanks all!
God is good.
+Esteban Rodríguez There is no God. He did this on his own. GZ for that!
In regards to Peace Keepers, that trilogy consists of Rival Turf, Brawl Brothers, and Peace Keepers. Glad to see it make the list, it's an awesome game.

What are some of the more interesting controllers for the SNES?
Well dood.
If you suck at Q-bert you probably haven´t tried hoging the cabinet in a 45 degree angle?
Same goes for a controller on emulation on a modern system.
Hold that controller in a 45 degree angle.
A world of difference, I promise.
good list, but i was surprised to not see phalanx here... maybe i was the only fan?
Philip Wilcox I think he mentioned Phalanx in another list somewhere, but I'm not *completely* sure about that. It has to be mentioned for the box art alone, though.
for sure, i remember being a kid and thinking "wtf is up with this old guy?"
Philip Wilcox No shit! Seriously surreal.
please do more super nintendo hidden gems! theres like 700 games im sure you guys could squeeze out 10 more games or so
I'm playing through Shadowrun Returns on the iPad right now. Are you familiar with that new game? How does it compare to the Genesis version? I heard it might be the spiritual successor to that
It's funny to see Captain Commando in this list when actually it was very famous here in Brazil during several years. We could easily find this arcade around here, and people loved it, as for Cadillacs and Dinossaurs, another famous one that was not ported to the snes. Excelent video by the way...

Lots of amazing gems I've never even heard of. Ebay, here I come...
This video is almost 10 years old why am I watching this! Lol
because MJR is the best gaming channel on youtube! :D

I freaking LOVE Shadowrun on the SNES. My favorite game of all time!
The Genesis version was fun too
That Qbert joke at 1:34 made my day. haha Great video and keep up the good work!
Shadowrun is one of my top SNES titles. I played it when I was about 15 and recently revisited it at 32. It held up quite nicely and was a blast.
We had a kick-ass time hanging with you guys too in Portland. Such a great expo made even better with friends!
I found this channel yesterday when i was watching cgr. I love this channel now, so far this is the only channel i have watched where i will watch the ads. Keep up the good work
That captain cammando is the same one from Marvel Vs Capcom fighting games I loved him
The Undercover Cops is a great final fight type side scrolling brawler

Never heard of it! Thank you!
Firepower 2000 was called Silkworm IV on the Amiga and what made it awesome, is the levels were streamed from disk, so you didn't have to wait for the next level to load.
Keep em coming, great stuff, I'm sure there are more hidden gems on SNES
We had a great time at Portland Expo. So many awesome fans and games!
Firepower 2000 was called Swiv on the Amiga (Super Swiv for EU SNES)
Great videos dudes. I watched all 3. Awesome stuff!
One of the best hidden gems I ever played was an r-type style game called U.N. Squadron. Awesome game. Upgradeable plains and bombs made it one of my favorite games as a kid, you should check it out.
mitchell mudrow I wouldn't call UN Squadron a hidden gem.
Just found an arcade controller for the MSX series of machines. It was used in arcades to a cabinet that had a MSX machine inside and primary for Pachinko games, popular in Japan.
The controller is a Pasoko-1000, and was listed as junk, I am just uploading a video where I show how I repaired it.

Metal Jesus, It was great to meet you and DMP at the PRGE! And thanks for another excellent video!
I love how John is always happy and smiling. If I had all those games, I probably would be smiling all the time too. Keep up the great vids!
Super Nintendo Hidden Gems Drinking Game: Watch all three of these videos, and take a shot every time John says "like I said".
If I remember correctly the Peace Keepers brawler had a Battle Royal feature for up to 4 players. You could also go through the options and change the colors of the characters in the game. No joke, you could turn the hero green or the big dude with a mohawk pink. Fun stuff.
Great hidden Gems - great video as always. Q*bert 3 and BioMetal looked awesome.
The brawlers from the "trilogy" are "Rival Turf", "Brawl Brothers" and the last of them "The Peace Keepers", fun games with awesome soundtrack. I dont know if The peace keepers is related to the other two, but the others, yes they are.
Tradewest's Plok (for the music alone) and Soldiers of Fortune (Chaos Engine) are two "hidden gems" worth checking out.
And Shadowrun SNES is one of my all-time favs.

What I love about SNES and Genesis; even if the same game or series was released on both systems, they often offered completely different experiences, unlike today's multi-plats.
Cap is one of my fav characters from Marvel vs Capcom series. Especially since his moves bring out all the characters on his team from the brawler.
Damn, still no mention of Young Merlin. I guess it's such a hidden gem, neither of you know about it!
Videomaster21XX I’ve never beat the game but I do remember enjoying it
Love the SNES Gems videos, 16 bit era was outstanding!!
I actually glad to see kendo's rage make the list, I haven't been able to own the game myself, but its definitely high on my priority list when I start collecting for the snes.
The Peace Keepers is playable with 4 players with a multi-tap.
ColonelNegative ....cool i I’ll have to hunt down a multi tap now. Don’t know if to many beat em up that are four players. Thanks!!
Another unique controller exclusive to Japan was the Hori SGB Commander. It could not only function as a regular SNES/SRC pad, but also could switch to a mode with functions exclusive to the Super Game Boy.
I've watched the 3 videos and I must say this is probably the best hidden gem video Ive seen so far and Ive seen plenty. Really nice tips.
good video! Loved the gibson les paul at the end. awsome guitar!!!
Thanks for sharing your collection John and MJR for another great hidden gems video. Would love a 3 part Sega genesis hidden gems with John. =)
Ninja Warriors was one of the best beat 'em up's I ever played on the SNES. I think it's pretty obscure, as well.
Yes the Captain Commando character is also in Marvel Vs Capcom 1 & 2, Namco Vs Capcom, Card Fighters Clash 2, and Card Fighters Clash DS.
Thanks once again MJR! Looking at building up my SNES collection, so this gave me a lot of great ideas! Keep up the great vids!
Captain Commando started as an arcade game. There was one at the corner store by the house I grew up in. Game was awesome.
4:40.... the first snes game, where i got stuck and wasnt able to beat the game from my last save-point. Really need to replay & finish it some day soon.
Keep em coming! Hidden Gems 4!!!
Capt Commando also makes an appearance in Marvel Vs Capcom (1) for The Dreamcast as well. Great videos guys, obscure games kick arse keep makin em!
I think you need to bring John Hancock to the show more often. I feel like people are knocking him pretty bad about being awkward but I think he's a pretty funny and likable guy. Also he does look like Billy Mays and when your name is John Hancock you just ooze awesome.
Love the video. Talking about weird controllers theres this gigantic twin arcade stick for the sega saturn its like 400 bucks, think its made by hori. Hori is the Cadillac to arcade sticks

Was a Taito arcade game and it's ported really well to the SNES. Works great with the standard controller but it also supports the SNES mouse controller.
woho! Just spent a couple of months watching through all your episodes. Feels good to be in phase now, finally!! :D
I had about 100 SNES games when I was a kid. Out of all three videos I only owned two of the gems he presented. Pac Attack and Firepower 2000. Firepower was great, very difficult. I barely got past the first stage.
I have Firepower 2000. It's a great game. I think at the menu screen you press select and then it will have a separate screen and then you pressed select and then you press start and 2-Player mode activates.
it seems that the 100 missing games to complete his collection are all rpg games....
I like how seemingly neutral John is in his videos. He has collections for systems that compete vs each other, but he doesn't seem like he's too much a fan boy for either system when comparing them.
The Peace Keepers is called in japan Rushing Beat the trilogy is the one I mention RB Ran and RB Shura that is peace keepers all of them where release in US but with different names the first one is Rival Turf, second is Brawl Brothers just in case some is looking for them. The other game Kendo Rage is called in japan Makeruna Makendo and there are two games the first one is the platformer and the second is a vs fighter. Great video guys.
I am both speechless and forever grateful, 2 games I've been trying to figure out the title for from my childhood I found today. Bio Metal was sooo good (also hard) been trying to figure out the title for years. That and Musya from the second Snes hidden gems video, 1 Million Thank you's to John! It's so hard to find a game when all you remember is "well it's a space shooter on snes...it had cool music..."
Lol eyes on the prize. I love these episodes with you and john. Keep up the awesome videos!!
Nice 3 part hidden gems really enjoyed it,thanks goes out to both of you, much appreciated.

I have heaps of controllers and hardware as well. Plus of course my original titles which I am re-releasing shortly.
Shadow Run is a must have. Awesome game!
Glad to see Firepower 2000 on this list. Almost 30 years later and there hasn't been another game that has been quite like it.
Awesome trilogy, John Hancock and MJR. By the way, is that a picture of the Grim Reaper at 10:32?
Ever since realizing I can use my PS4 controller to control my cellphone emulators I've been eating these games up!!! I love it!!! more more more please!!
thanks for the video! I had been waiting for it :D
Glad you have props to Shadowrun! I would have mentioned it if you didn't. Great unsung gem on the SNES.
I'd like to mention the Breath of Fire games; BoF 1 & 2 came out for the SNES, later ported to the GBA. They're excellent JRPGs made by Capcom. If you like classic console RPGs, I'd highly recommend both games.

Yay! Part 3! Love you guys!
Just picked up wolf child after seeing this video on the SNES. can't wait, awesome vids!
@MetalJesusRocks,
Another great video! I've been watching your channel now for several weeks and I love it. You put out so much good info and have interesting guests who are fun to watch and listen to. I'm also a huge Star Wars fan, if you couldn't tell by my username lol.
I just wanted to mention a hidden gem of my own, Gradius III. It's a side scrolling space shooter made by Konami and has great game play and an awesome soundtrack.
Keep up the great videos!
Keep the snes gems coming!! This series is awesome!
metal jesus you are great. Being a Commodore amiga man I dont know much about your subjects but you educate me about the nintendo retro world. Thanks
No one ever talks about "B.O.B." on both SNES and Genesis. Awesome platformer. Robot with cool upgrades and different weapons. Really good looking. Awesome hidden gem!
nice games in there.some of these i played.Hagane,Peace Keepers and Super Turrican 2 are all awesome.i loved every minute of playing these back in the day.i'll be looking into these new discoveries,thanks!
Wouldn't say that Knights of Round was very well known on the SNES but by a select few it's more known these days though and Captain Commando was pretty known in the arcades during the early 90's, least up here in Vancouver anyway.
Thank you guys so far for the Hidden gems, found some I never even heard of and I just MUST GET THEM! :D
great choices here. i never liked the gumball sticks for arcade. the ones that came stock on street fighter 2 cabinets were my favorite (they were vertically thick throughout instead of just having a gumball "on top")
I did the kickstarter for Shadowrun Returns (now out) and I think it is fantastic... brings back memories
I've heard of some of these, but the only one I own so far is Firepower 2000. I like that game so much it got me started on video reviews on my own channel.
I have the same 3rd party stealth arcade stick. It actually works really well! There is another capcom controller that i have called the Capcom Pad Soldier. Its a bit weird, but once you get used to it, its kind of like a mini pseudo arcade stick. Works great with street fighter games! :)
