As a new subscriber I just wanted ro let you know I love these lists and that they're straight to the point and I can't stop binge watching them...please keep em coming 🤘
F-zero at the time felt like the first racing game that was finally not held back by hardware limitations. It was fast and you could actually see the track in the distance and it was smooth. I'll never forget being blown away by it and how different it was than other launch titles that were equally impressive for different reasons. To this day I still play it once in a while because it's still good and has a timeless simplicity to it.
Super Castlevania 4 is not only my favorite SNES game but also the game that sold the system for me. I remember when the first games we had for SNES was this one,Super Mario World,and Gradius 3 that my brother bought himself. We got really good on those three games since we played them a LOT!!
Man, super mario world blew my 12 year old mind when I got my super nintendo. It seemed so much more advanced than the NES. Truly was a golden era to be a kid. Each console and their games were absolutely unique in their design and play.
So I’m a Millennial-GenZ cusper, and when I was a kid, most other kids I knew had fifth and sixth gen consoles, but my family was not financially well off, so my early gaming days were comprised of SNES hand-me-downs and finding cheap SNES games. I wouldn’t have had it any other way. I really enjoyed this video. It felt like a blast of nostalgia and there’s a few titles in here I wasn’t hip to that I wanna add to my collection.
I got my SNES for my 8th birthday in 1993 with Super Mario World, F-Zero, Final Fantasy II, and Super Mario All-Stars (got that one for free with the SNES UPC and like $7 for S&H). I'll say this till my dying day: Super Mario World is the greatest video game ever made...it's just as fun the 1,000th time you play it as it was the very first.
I always love that clip of Paul Rudd in that old SNES commercial slamming the games into the system while wearing a trench coat. Nothing screams early 90s to me quite like that.
Castlevania IV, SimCity, Super Mario World, F-Zero, Pilotwings and Actraiser were the ever living awesomeness of the SNES launch system. Still have them to this day, there are two on this list I'm gonna have to check out. Thank you for this video man, I am am now intrigued to check out some games I never got to!
You know, looking back on it I didn’t actually play too many of these. I got my SNES in late 1992 after it had been out for a year+, and it was mainly Street Fighter II that drove me to upgrade. In fact, I bought SFII before I bought the console, because I didn’t want to have to wait to play it once I finally got my SNES! And it was no “family purchase” for us. I got an Atari 2600 for Christmas in 1983, but every game console I got after that including my NES and SNES I had to save up for and buy with my own money. And I was only 14 in 1992 so you can imagine that took a while, but I did it! In the meantime, though, my best friend got his SNES first, so I was able to play SMW and F-Zero at his house. But the only other one I ever played on SNES out of these 30 was Populous, which I bought for myself because I’m into that type of game. And yes I enjoyed it, though definitely not as much as SFII. Of course I had played SimCity on the PC and quite a few of the arcade games that got ported - UN Squadron, Final Fight, Super Off-Road, etc. - but only in the arcades. Never played the SNES versions. Incidentally, the company that made Populous was Bullfrog, not Bulldog. My favorite Bullfrog game by far was Syndicate on the PC - I got really good at that game! I think Syndicate also had an SNES port but I never tried that one either.
LMAO did I say Bulldog? I'm silly. I make freudian slips all the time. Syndicate, I first played it on the 3DO, and I just cannot get into it. I felt like the enemies knew were I was every second of the game.
@@Fortefyre Actually they do know where you are, sort of. I don’t know how 3DO worked but on the PC version enemy agents had a detection range, and they would attack you as soon as your squad stepped within their range. Now how big that range was depended on the mission. Most missions the range was limited and part of the challenge of the game was plotting a route through the city that would accomplish your objectives while minimizing risk. Sometimes that meant moving slowly and activating only a few enemies at a time so you didn’t get overwhelmed, other times it meant staying out of combat by avoiding enemy guards and patrols or brainwashing them with persuadertrons. But there are also a few late-game missions like the Atlantic Accelerator where all the enemies do know where you are right from the start and avoiding combat is impossible; the key to winning those missions is simply having a plan to survive the coming onslaught (and hoping you have enough firepower to execute it). That’s what made the game so much fun though; missions not only offered a wide range of challenges, but almost every mission had more than one viable strategy for completing it, too.
While the GBA F-Zero games improved upon the floating road visual effect and have you near-instantly healed in the healing spots unlike with the original; F-Zero still did its job well of being a tech demo for the SNES.
I still remember the first time I played Super Mario World. Absolutely blew 8 year old me away. Of course now I can enjoy it without Barney being watched in the other room.
Had a pretty strong line up of games in my opinion with a little bit of filler in there. Final Fantasy II (actually 4) is my favorite in the series. All I can remember playing in the real early days was mario world and pilotwings
Lagoon was a pretty decent game that is easy to get lost in. The music is great though, but it's a tough as hell game. I'd say check it out for sure, if you have the patience for it, because there are parts that will be frustrating, and I'm not talking just the bosses either. Such as all the characters move very slowly, and you have a tiny toothpick for a sword lol.
@@Fortefyre Well if it comes down to it, I have created maps and a written walkthrough for this game on GameFAQs so hopefully they will be of great use.
I rented Actraiser once back in the day but I couldn't get into it at all. Maybe because I was terrible at platform games. Truly dreadful. I remember a friend being completely stunned at how bad I was at Contra.
Funny you said that about juiced up baseball players. There is some promotion company trying to set up the "Enhanced Olympics" to make a juiced up Olympic games.
Hells yeah, Bill Lambier's Combat Basketball right after I mentioned it LOL. It is a putrid game but I loved playing it in all its jank with my cousins when I was younger. Great video & I am honored by the shout out frfr, you are far too kind. Keep it up my dude, you are a true inspiration to us old heads & appreciate you preserving gaming history. I'm so happy I met ya & get to call you friend. I'm not crying, youre crying LOL
It's fun seeing which games a younger perspective damns and which sins are sung as praise. Back in the day, Super Mario World was a great Sega advertisement; sure, an instant classic but seen as a bit of a NES retread with a very childish aesthetic. Sonic team hadn't yet improved on their original in every single way, turning it into a dusty, unpolished relic. Nintendo hadn't yet explored so many different ways to express Mario gameplay... or returned to 3's well so many times... Or taken the child-like aesthetic so much further... And now World has aged so gracefully that people can't imagine how Sega was beating Nintendo for a few years. Meanwhile, Pilot Wings...well, anything 3D speaks for itself. Especially with a d-pad. You gave it all the due respect I could hope for.
I had no idea games like Home Alone were some of the first 30 games released, although I admittedly got to the SNES party late....thank god it got better from there. I remember my buddy needed $25 and sold me his SNES with Ken Griffey JR Baseball, Super Mario World, MK1 and Mk2. Good video as always with some interesting facts and the usual good personal takes. Cheers sir
I remember borrowing a family friend’s system for 2 weeks around it came out. They had Super Mario World, Gradius 3 and Bill Laimbeer’s Combat Basketball. Played all three and eventually own all of them. It was my nostalgia but I enjoyed all 3.
Played / had so many of those games. When I was playing it regularly, my tactic for U.N. Squadron would not buy any power ups or new planes. Just save money to buy the Final jet. Then go to town.
this seems like a pretty interesting kind of video to make for a bunch of different consoles, the sega genesis seems like a good contender for the next vid
Sega Genesis in North America and Mega Drive in Europe had a stronger launch than Mega Drive in Japan and even to the end, Sega Genesis/Mega Drive remained more successful in NA and Europe than in Japan. Altered Beast isn't anything great these days, but the game was a big deal at arcades back in the day and the Genesis version was a close resemblance to the arcade original. Besides if he thinks the Genesis version is bad; Master System version is much worse. Kinda impressive that Golden Axe 1 came out the first year considering how good of an effort that port ended up being. Outside of the launch year; we have After Burner, Ghostbusters (better than the NES game), and Michael Jackson's Moonwalker. Kinda strange to imagine the early days of the Sega Genesis without the original Sonic title.
You should now cover the final 30 SNES games where they weirdly reverted to old arcade ports - Frogger, Ms. Pac-Man, Mr. Do, Space Invaders, Arkanoid Doh, Midway, Williams, Namco, Pinball, etc...
Meanwhile in Japan; Super Famicom gets Fire Emblem: Thracia 776 in *1999* ; which no surprise caused that game's sales to tank hard. A year after that; Metal Slader Glory Director's Cut.
Kirby's Dream Land 3 came out only a year before SNES Frogger. Donkey Kong Country 3 and Street Fighter Alpha 2 are not as far into the system's life, but no doubt are late games in 1996 for the Super Nintendo. Ironically Star Fox 2 is now technically the very last SNES game due to its un-cancelled status. SNES Ms. Pac-Man is justifiable since that game was on the NES before and Sega ended up having their own versions on Genesis and Game Gear.
Final Fantasy 4 actually began its life on the Famicom. Hence why it looks like a visually enhanced NES game. Also, it's a shame unlike in the updated versions, the ATB bars aren't visible here.
It's so nice to see you growing. I know how hard it can be especially raising a young family. Your doing it right don't stop. The production and your talent to entertain is enviable. Love your content. Your gonna go far.
My favorite composers for the SNES and Super Famicom are (with some being previous favorites from the NES and Famicom); Kenji Yamamoto (Super Metroid; best Metroid composer ever) Koji Kondo (Super Mario World, A Link to the Past, and Yoshi's Island) David Wise (DKC 1 and DKC 2) Yuko Takehara (Mega Man X, Mega Man 7, and Breath of Fire 2) Harumi Ueko (SNES version of Turtles in Time and TMNT Tournament Fighters) Miki Higashino (Gradius 3 and Contra 3: Alien Wars) Yuka Tsujiyoko (SNES Fire Emblem titles) Nobuo Uematsu (Final Fantasy 4-6 and Chrono Trigger; he improved upon his craft here) Yoko Shimomura (Super Mario RPG and Live a Live; can you take a wild guess what her most well known composition contributions are these days)? Jun Chikuma (Super Bomberman 3 & 5) Yasuhiko Fukuda (Super Bomberman 2) Yumiko Kanki (F-Zero and Star Fox 2) Hajime Hirasawa (Star Fox) Jun Ishikawa (Kirby Super Star) Masanori Adachi (Super Castlevania 4) Taro Kudo (Super Castlevania 4) Koichi Sugiyama (Dragon Quest V and VI; would keep improving upon his craft until struggling with DQ11) Keiichi Suzuki (Earthbound; improved upon his craft) Yasunori Shiono (Lufia 2) Tsukasa Masuko (Shin Megami Tensei SNES titles)
I can't seem to respond to my last comment on my laptop. The FF Wiki says this about Golbez. Golbez's HP in his and Fusoya's battle against Zemus at the end of Final Fantasy IV (2,943) can alternatively be read in Japanese as nikushimi (憎しみ?), which means "hatred", while his starting HP in The After Years (2,971) can be read as tsugunai (償い?), meaning "atonement". Meanwhile, in the DS version we find his name is Theodor which means "Gift from God." Cecil meanwhile I am seeing as meaning both blind and blind to one's own beauty. Golbez has a darkness inside of him that he doesn't understand. Cecil has a light in him that he doesn't understand.

Welcome to the channel I did the the same thing. 😂 Definitely go down the rabbit hole and check out the other videos.
Welcome to the community!
F-zero at the time felt like the first racing game that was finally not held back by hardware limitations. It was fast and you could actually see the track in the distance and it was smooth. I'll never forget being blown away by it and how different it was than other launch titles that were equally impressive for different reasons. To this day I still play it once in a while because it's still good and has a timeless simplicity to it.

It was a HUGE step up.
“I don’t hide from my mistakes, I learn from them.” That’s what you call true maturity.
I stand by that statement as well.
I remember seeing an ad for Soul Blazer that said “from the company that brought you Actraiser.” That’s what made me buy the game.
At some point I'd like to play Terranigma as well.
Thanks for this awesome video! It surely took me back to the good old days. I played the majority of these games. 😊
I'm glad I could bring you down memory lane!

The FF Wiki says this about Golbez.
Golbez's HP in his and Fusoya's battle against Zemus at the end of Final Fantasy IV (2,943) can alternatively be read in Japanese as nikushimi (憎しみ?), which means "hatred", while his starting HP in The After Years (2,971) can be read as tsugunai (償い?), meaning "atonement".
Meanwhile, in the DS version we find his name is Theodor which means "Gift from God."
Cecil meanwhile I am seeing as meaning both blind and blind to one's own beauty. Golbez has a darkness inside of him that he doesn't understand. Cecil has a light in him that he doesn't understand.
I love the wiki's so much, it's a lore comprendium, I frequent the Warhammer 40k one often.
