@vedbergsmagic3217 The First SoR, Definitely. But The most common home ports of Final Fight were 1 Player Only along with "Other" changes. The Rival Turf/Rushing Beat series is SO Terrible to Mid you'd beg for a Game of Crime Fighters. The best entry is The Last one on SNES
I liked Rival Turf :( Ok, it was worse than Final Fight, obviously, but... i dunno I still replay it every so often. Too bad running around and jump kicking is op.
Same here. I could never beat it but I remember seeing the pigeon lady in the city close to the end. I always hated doing that stage in the building he sets the traps in, after fighting the chef boss lol
one of the first games I rented after getting an SNES was Home Alone 1. in retrospect it seemed like a good demo for the SNES. colorful bright detailed pixels. very very nice renditions of christmas themed songs. but the gameplay was very repetitive and quickly boring. but as a demo, it was good.
Why would anyone waste time hating Home Alone 2 for SNES?Compared to the other HA movies, at least it’s playable and easy. No one thought it was going to be FF VI.
I was born in 1996 the same year the N64 was released. I've watched videos where the narrator is referring to a game on it saying things like "the game holds up nearly 30yrs later". I can accept I'm almost 30 I just can't except N64 games are too.😭
No way Rival Turf is one of the worst games on the SNES. I can name plenty of games much worse than this: Bebe's Kids, Pit Fighter, Rise of the Robots, Street Combat, Double Dragon 5... Rival Turf is unfairly hated because of the poor marketing and localization. At least it offered two player simultaneous play and had some great music. The hit detection wasn't good and it was kind of frustrating but it was fun for what it was. I'd rather play Rival Turf than many SNES games.
Yeah. Pitfighter was worse than at least half of this list. The RPG's mentioned were just half bad games whilst still offering many hours of challenge. Pitfighter was awful in every respect.
Fun fact: the gameboy version of Space Invaders has a special SNES ROM inside the cartridge that will work if you use Super Gameboy that I’ve heard is quite good. Which means there literally is a better SNES Space Invaders game on the Gameboy! So ironic
It wasn't so much a special ROM as it was additional features not supported on the Game Boy. Donkey Kong worked on Super Game Boy as well, and had a custom border to make it look more like an arcade cabinet, as well as a digitized voice of Pauline screaming "Help" instead of just the tinny Game Boy "Wweeeeoooooo" sound. Edit: Oh a full color palette too, not just the four shades of puke.
@@adamb89this is not true - space invaders actually contains a hidden version of the game (new menu option) that can only be seen when playing it via the SNES. This is different than every other gb game with SNES support
@@acantilado That's still the same ROM though, the menu to select Super Game Boy content is simply not displayed when loading it on a regular Game Boy. Like how modern PC games auto-detect whether you're using a controller or keyboard/mouse--it's the same game, it just changes what you see based on what hardware you have. Case in point when you download a Space Invaders ROM, you download one ROM, load one ROM, and play one ROM. The content selection happens after the ROM is loaded.
@@adamb89all I have to say is do a Google search for super game boy space invaders. The public can decide for themselves if it’s notable. There is an entire arcade version option that needs to be booted up, which I take to mean accessing a separate ROM. I will say no more on this matter as the internet has this all widely publicized. Further arguments are just getting into semantics and ignore the main point of my post
Mario is Missing! is the only reason that I, a 40-year-old professional man, know that the Principia is the shortened name of the book Issac Newton published detailing his laws of motion. You know he invented these things, but don't really know what the book is called. Plus you play as Luigi and meet Beethoven and Joan of Arc.
@@GotTheBestLigma I didn't like that you couldn't die. Like why have that end boss shooting rings out of his wand at you when it just goes right through you. It didn't make sense.
@@Hellenicheavymetal The rings passed through your body, causing your cellular make up to be compromised. Luigi would end up dying of cancer many years later. Now... Don't you wish you had dodged those rings?
OMG Wayne's World takes me back. I rented it once as a kiddo. I mindlessly enjoyed it as a kid, but my mother was SO ANNOYED about the sound effects. Specifically the "We're not worthy!" sound clip.
I actually enjoyed Rival Turf! I could never beat it as a kid but I did beat it recently on the SNES online app on Switch. Brawl Brothers and Tuff E-Nuff were better games by the same dev (all part of the same series too)
same. And there was a cheat you could activate when you shake the cartridge while turning the SNES on. I could not believe my friend until he showed me. Still amazed.
I call bull. The bosses in that game are so damn cheap, there's no way you beat it without cheating. Even then, the challenge is nearly insurmountable.
In response to the Space Invaders segment, I was born in 1973. Not only did I play the original Space Invaders at a local ice cream shop, I played an original tabletop console. The screen lay flat, and there were controls at both ends, so if you had someone sitting across from you and you selected a two-player game, the display would flip when it was the other person's turn. FWIW, Tempest was always my favourite arcade game of the era, and I think it would hold up today if home consoles had the right kind of controller.
-cough- Pit Fighter. -cough- worst SNES games ever; 90's kids who know of it or played it know this to be true, Race Drivin' is putrid, Shaq Fu is well- DOO-DOO, I don't even know WHAT The Rocketeer was supposed to be (just watch the movie!) Rise of The Robots was hyped to death but ended up being so disappointing. Don't waste your time playing either Home Alone 1 or 2, and the Super Nintendo also had a couple games named oh, I don't know; Ultraman and TERMINATOR 2 which were as horrible as you can get, and a game called Warp Speed which should also be considered as bottom-tier as Pit Fighter. Just a complete waste of time.
My SNES Top 10 best (no order) 1. SuperMario World + Allstars 2. Zelda "Link To The Past" 3. Chrono Trigger 4. NBA Jam T.E. 5. Earthbound 6. Super Metroid 7. Street Fighter 2 Turbo 8. Super Mario Kart 9. Rock n Roll Racing 10. TMNT: Turtles in Time Honorable mention - about 150 other games. I'm sure I left a lot off my list that still holds up. So many bangers!!😁
I was 13 in 1978 since you asked. And from this list I owned 9 of them at some point. And finished maybe 4 of them. I'd still consider every single game on this list to be better games than Starfox. A game i paid £65 for on US import at the time of it's US release. To then start the game and wonder what was wrong with my SNES. Thinking the cartridge had failed to load the graphics, I ejected the cart and restarted it. To still be faced with a game that looked like a 1980 arcade game. I've never trusted a magazine review of a game since. That one game alone has saved me many many hundreds of pounds over the years since.
Paladin’s quest is in no way awful, a decent atmosphere, unique soundtrack and alien setting. A little basic in some ways but by no means terrible. Its sequel Lennus 2 (with translation patch) is really worth a look and a big improvement in every sense. These games also let you save anywhere, fairly unprecedented for an JRPG of the time. That it comes lower than so many terrible and virtually unplayable games tells you something of review quality in those days
I am reminded of an old entry in 90s UK magazine Super Play It’s time for Animaniacs And the gameplay rather lacks It smells like old man’s cacks It’s cheesy to the max It’s Animaney Rank n stainy It’s Animaniacs!
Race Drivin is the worst. It plays exactly as good as you'd expect a fully 3d polygonal racing games for SNES released in 1992 to(about 5 frames a second).
I liked Home Alone 2, both on SNES and Game Boy. They were frustratingly difficult but that just amplified the feeling of achievement when you got through the game
Also, you forgot to point this out with mario is missing (and mario's time machine), almost all the information and facts are either false or rumored, so it's giving out false information.
I so badly wanted Mario is Missing as a kid, but nowhere near me had it. Of course I had no idea it was an educational game and nice to know I didn't miss much there.
These games aren't great but there's way worse. This guy must have enjoyed games like Last Acton Hero, Terminator 2, Ballz, Rise of the Robots, The Rocketeer, Pit Fighter and dozens of other games that are worse than all of these. Also I kinda like Rival Turf. Not as good as Tmnt or Streets of Rage but it was fun and you could play it on 2 player unlike Final Fight on the snes.
I've said it many times. The snes has the strongest library of games. Even the terrible ones are typically pretty playable. It was great as a kid picking a random snes game to rent and more times than not it would be a solid game
@theraptorus I wish they'd get some Switch remasters. Paladin's Quest especially because they could also make it a compilation with their sequel translated in it, Lennus 2.
The Home Alone game tie-in for the first movie, that came out on Genesis was actually pretty fun for a tie-in. Nothing remarkable, but it had a decent concept and played well enough. addendum: Was that Top Gun for the NES I saw there? That has to be one of the worst games I've ever played.
there are some really dubious stuff on here. Paladins Quest, Rival Turf, and maybe Blazeon aren't amazing but they do not deserved to be down here when there are so many other worse SNES game. No Pitfighter, no Raya Systems games like Captain Novolin, no Batman Forever? Metacritic needs to get its act together, or you need to use a different site
The review count restriction for such old games almost certainly made this list challenging. It also seemingly left some truly dreadful titles out, like Pit Fighter, Eek! The Cat, Ballz, Bebe's Kids, Frantic Flea, Lord of the Rings and a whole host of absolute stinkers. Mario Is Missing, as big a disappointment as it might have been, does not deserve to be in the running. There are much, MUCH worse games on the SNES, unfortunately.
I'm younger than Space Invaders, but not by much. And this list didn't include Pit Fighter or The Wizard of Oz, so clearly, it's not really the 10 Worst Games, it's the 10 Worst Games with enough reviews.
Very well played sir I only watched because i saw SUPER-MARIO-KART being played in the preview so i was like: “Did this dude literally list Super MarioKart as 1 of the worst SNES games?” Thankfully you did not. 🙌
Paladin's Quest was a rental that was always at our local toy store. I actually didn't mind it. The music is pretty good and the graphics imo are charming in their own way. The real issue is magic... not that it drains health, that it is either broken or going to brake you. You have to take time out at some point to grind magic... which gets stronger the more you cast. If you grind too much, the game is a breeze. If you dont grind enough, you get run over by enemies that can attack you 4-6 times per turn.
At least the following Rushing Beat games were way better. Be sure to play them in Japanese though. The localized versions (Brawl Brothers and The Peace Keepers) are really weird, featuring changes such as the addition and removal of entire levels and soundtracks. Not to mention the decision to localize each game as a separate IP makes everything more baffling.
Mario is Missing was so deceptive in the stores. See, The NES version came out after the SNES system did and I didn't have one. So I remember buying it for the NES solely because on the back of the box it looked like the Super Mario World map screen. So I got excited, unaware that it was an educational game. Boy was I in for a letdown.
TripleJump, like many gaming commentators, has specific criteria and personal opinions when determining what constitutes the "worst" games for any platform, including the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES). The absence of titles like "Space Ace," "Pit Fighter," or "The Wizard of Oz" in their list of worst games could be due to several reasons: 1. **Subjective Opinion**: Lists of worst games are often based on the contributors’ personal experiences, preferences, and biases. Different reviewers may have varying perspectives on what makes a game "bad." 2. **Different Metrics for Evaluation**: Some games might be criticized for graphics, gameplay mechanics, or storyline, while others may receive a pass for nostalgia or certain redeeming qualities. If the contributors of the list found aspects of those games enjoyable or interesting, they might have chosen to exclude them. 3. **Cultural Impact**: Some titles, despite not being critically acclaimed, might have had a significant cultural impact or a dedicated fanbase, leading reviewers to refraining from labeling them as the "worst." 4. **Historical or Contextual Significance**: Certain games may hold historical significance or be seen as important in gaming history, leading reviewers to consider them in a different light. 5. **Availability of Content**: TripleJump could have chosen to focus on games that are less discussed in broader gaming conversations, opting to highlight lesser-known titles that received more negative reception. Ultimately, the choice of which games to include or exclude in a list categorizing the worst titles is subjective, and other reviewers may have different takes on the same set of games.
I actually liked playing mario is missing, it had real history and geography trivia, the two subjects I excel at, sure some think it boring but not me, I bet nobody who also played it noticed that each map was shaped like the actual places depicted, I guess I'm an old school geek
I wish you would start calling these videos "10 Awful Games" instead of saying they're the "Worst". Kids in the early 90s always had low expectations for games based on movies or TV shows, so Home Alone really wasn't as big of a deal as these vids try to make it seem. The *WORST* games are the ones we expected to love that turned out to be a pile of dung, like how the original MK tried to be non-gruesome on SNES. NOBODY expected to love Shaq-Fu 😂
You're looking at the games with the eyes of 50 yo man who saw the life and game superevolution. You just don't remember, neither you understand anymore the feeling of a kid playing these "worst" games in early 90s.
Final Fantasy VI (or Final Fantasy III for American gamers such as myself) was one of the best games to grace the SNES and is still one of the best installments in the Final Fantasy series.
As a kid, i unfortunately spent my hard earned allowance on 'Waynes World' 😅🤦♂️ THQ was known for taking movie franchises and putting them in video games though
I bought race driving from funcoland. The picture on the front of the box looked so cool, I was so mad when I got home and played it. I hated that game so much.
Rival Turf is a game that every 90s kid recognizes by the box art in the rental store but nobody ever picked up.
Well, I did back in the day 😄😄 In regular game shop though. Was 10 bucks and that was just at that time so cheap that I coulnd't resist.
Extra Bad when you actually play it, it's a Poor Man's Streets of Rage
@@Black_Revueand the funny thing is that Streets of rage is a poor mans final fight, though Streets of rage 2 is really good

Rival Turf is getting a new game called "Rushing Beat X: Return of the Brawl Brothers" It looks somewhat okay but still who knows how it will turn out
The second and third rushing beat games were good. If they keep up that quality it'll be worth the ticket.

Oh yeah The Rocketeer was the worst lol
You tellin' me you couldn't find 7 reviews for Pit Fighter on the SNES?
Rival turf rules. There is waaaaaaay worse snes games than rival turf
there are some really dubious stuff on here. Paladins Quest, Rival Turf, and maybe Blazeon aren't amazing but they do not deserved to be down here when there are so many other worse SNES game. No Pitfighter, no Raya Systems games like Captain Novolin, no Batman Forever? Metacritic needs to get its act together, or you need to use a different site
The review count restriction for such old games almost certainly made this list challenging. It also seemingly left some truly dreadful titles out, like Pit Fighter, Eek! The Cat, Ballz, Bebe's Kids, Frantic Flea, Lord of the Rings and a whole host of absolute stinkers. Mario Is Missing, as big a disappointment as it might have been, does not deserve to be in the running. There are much, MUCH worse games on the SNES, unfortunately.
I'm younger than Space Invaders, but not by much. And this list didn't include Pit Fighter or The Wizard of Oz, so clearly, it's not really the 10 Worst Games, it's the 10 Worst Games with enough reviews.
The music in Shaq-Fu was composed by Raphaël Gesqua, who also did the music for hidden console gem Mr. Nutz.
Very well played sir
I only watched because i saw SUPER-MARIO-KART being played in the preview
so i was like:
“Did this dude literally list Super MarioKart as 1 of the worst SNES games?”
Thankfully you did not. 🙌
Wow, no Super Pitfighter!
Paladin's Quest was a rental that was always at our local toy store. I actually didn't mind it. The music is pretty good and the graphics imo are charming in their own way.
The real issue is magic... not that it drains health, that it is either broken or going to brake you. You have to take time out at some point to grind magic... which gets stronger the more you cast. If you grind too much, the game is a breeze. If you dont grind enough, you get run over by enemies that can attack you 4-6 times per turn.
At least the following Rushing Beat games were way better. Be sure to play them in Japanese though. The localized versions (Brawl Brothers and The Peace Keepers) are really weird, featuring changes such as the addition and removal of entire levels and soundtracks. Not to mention the decision to localize each game as a separate IP makes everything more baffling.
Mario is Missing was so deceptive in the stores. See, The NES version came out after the SNES system did and I didn't have one. So I remember buying it for the NES solely because on the back of the box it looked like the Super Mario World map screen. So I got excited, unaware that it was an educational game. Boy was I in for a letdown.
Not only I am old enough to have been around for the release of the original Space Invaders, I begged quarters from my parents to play it.
With Race Drivin', it's best to stick with the Saturn version. That one runs unbelievably well.
TripleJump, like many gaming commentators, has specific criteria and personal opinions when determining what constitutes the "worst" games for any platform, including the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES). The absence of titles like "Space Ace," "Pit Fighter," or "The Wizard of Oz" in their list of worst games could be due to several reasons:
1. **Subjective Opinion**: Lists of worst games are often based on the contributors’ personal experiences, preferences, and biases. Different reviewers may have varying perspectives on what makes a game "bad."
2. **Different Metrics for Evaluation**: Some games might be criticized for graphics, gameplay mechanics, or storyline, while others may receive a pass for nostalgia or certain redeeming qualities. If the contributors of the list found aspects of those games enjoyable or interesting, they might have chosen to exclude them.
3. **Cultural Impact**: Some titles, despite not being critically acclaimed, might have had a significant cultural impact or a dedicated fanbase, leading reviewers to refraining from labeling them as the "worst."
4. **Historical or Contextual Significance**: Certain games may hold historical significance or be seen as important in gaming history, leading reviewers to consider them in a different light.
5. **Availability of Content**: TripleJump could have chosen to focus on games that are less discussed in broader gaming conversations, opting to highlight lesser-known titles that received more negative reception.
Ultimately, the choice of which games to include or exclude in a list categorizing the worst titles is subjective, and other reviewers may have different takes on the same set of games.
I actually liked playing mario is missing, it had real history and geography trivia, the two subjects I excel at, sure some think it boring but not me, I bet nobody who also played it noticed that each map was shaped like the actual places depicted, I guess I'm an old school geek
Cool video triplejump i love it greetings from chile❤❤❤❤
I wish you would start calling these videos "10 Awful Games" instead of saying they're the "Worst". Kids in the early 90s always had low expectations for games based on movies or TV shows, so Home Alone really wasn't as big of a deal as these vids try to make it seem. The *WORST* games are the ones we expected to love that turned out to be a pile of dung, like how the original MK tried to be non-gruesome on SNES. NOBODY expected to love Shaq-Fu 😂
I'm 41, so I'm over 30 years old, too! Lovely!
I had Mario is missing as a child. I had no idea what to do as a 6 year old.
You left out: AKA The GOAT 👑
Number 9 is 17 game 😂😂
The Simon Miller references never get old!! BRILLIANT!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
I was born in 1981 in and grew up with the SNES 😊
So yeah I'm younger than space Invaders
I never heard of Mario is missing
I played it ☺️
You're looking at the games with the eyes of 50 yo man who saw the life and game superevolution. You just don't remember, neither you understand anymore the feeling of a kid playing these "worst" games in early 90s.
Stephen, my best friend in 4th grade, unironically chose Wayne's World as his favorite SNES game
I guess there weren’t enough reviews for Toys or Space Ace lol
Final Fantasy VI (or Final Fantasy III for American gamers such as myself) was one of the best games to grace the SNES and is still one of the best installments in the Final Fantasy series.
As a kid, i unfortunately spent my hard earned allowance on 'Waynes World' 😅🤦♂️ THQ was known for taking movie franchises and putting them in video games though
Man, two Radical Entertainment titles in one top ten list! At least they made a couple of great Simpsons games (Road Rage and Hit & Run)
You asked if any viewers are older than Space Invaders? I remember 1978. signed, grumpy old gamer dad.
I remember renting home alone from the grocery store and thinking it was awful back when i was 8.
Rival Turf: The character's name is Jack Flak. Did they even try!? 😂
original home alone on snes, while a little shallow, is actually a pretty fun playthrough every christmas. the 2nd game though is trash.
Tecmo's Secret of the Stars actually has some merit. The music is incredible, even if mostly everything else was bad.
Pit Fighter was horrendous on SNES. Truly, truly wretched
I traded Wayne’s World for Return of the Jedi. The boss fights in Wayne’s World were so bad.
Space invaders shouldn’t be on this list. Space invaders was just the same game everyone loved years prior. It was just outdated.
Pit Fighter, Clay Fighter, and Bubsy deserve a mention.
I bought race driving from funcoland. The picture on the front of the box looked so cool, I was so mad when I got home and played it. I hated that game so much.
Home Alone 2 was just such a disappointment
Born 1978 here myself, always enjoy watching you guys.
I liked the video but would disagree with stoner-esqe 😳
Paladin's Quest was not THAT bad. Certainly not "top 3 worst game on the SNES" bad.
