- Well, it's the Super Nintendo. Arguably the greatest Nintendo console of the lot, the one with all the super power. Again, I've picked out many of my favourites over the years -- the best of everything from obscure gems and great Famicom imports to the classics. If Mario or Zelda or anything like that have a chance at the top spot, it's here. Enjoy!

The fact that you're such a big part of the retro gaming sphere, and you haven't completed some of these "essential" titles is so relateable and refreshing. Not everyone has played everything. Not everyone had the same games or consoles. And a game like Chrono Trigger requires a big commitment. Some games fall through the net, and no one should be calling for your gaming license if they do. Nice one, Kim!
Hit the nail on the head there! I still haven't played chrono trigger and the older I get and the less time I have in the day its getting less likely I will get around to it
@@retrorystergaming577 Definitely! It's taken me a month to fire up 3D Dot Heroes after I bought it on eBay, and I've bearly been able to play it for an hour without being needed elsewhere!
I wasn't the only one watching going "omg it's not just me!" then! XD I blame my ADHD for me playing a game, going "that's so cool I must continue!..." then getting distracted by another shiny.
@@PoutingTrevor yea mate I feel you. Adult life unfortunately. When I hear my friends say theyve put 50hours of game time into say Ghost of Tsushima or Red dead 2 im thinking how on earth is that even possible???
Ye
Forgot all about this Rik Mayall adverts, absolutely brilliant
to be fair, god bless Rick. RIP

Kim you bring me so much comfort in dark times with your retro reviews. Thankyou.
I got to number 2 on the list and thought "this is Bullshit where is Yoshi's Island".
Then I got to number one and tipped my hat to Kim.
Haha I did the same thing. It’s still my favourite game of all time. It’s incredible how well the gameplay and graphics holds up. As good as a lot of other SNES games look, nothing comes close to how incredible Yoshi’s Island looks.
Probably the best console of all time. There are so many great games that didn't make this list. Desert Strike, Flashback, Alien 3, Might and Magic, Super Bomberman, Legend of Mystical Ninja, Tiny Toon Adventures, NBA Jam, I could go on and on.
I'm really falling in love with the channel after a few days of scouring. The long format stuff especially is great
Another great video Kim! I always find at least few new games to check out in all your lists, so keep up the great work!
Shadowrun was my all time favourite on the SNES!!
One of my alltime fave games👍-Paul
@@maximumpowerup531 Awesome to hear!! I don't meet many people who have played it let alone it being one of their favourites there chummer
When it came out I played it to death. When we used to go to Laser Quest I always used Anders (the turncoat Shadowrunner) as my name. Great story and music. Last completed it a few years ok.
@@maximumpowerup531 When I first played it I thought Anders was the only shadowrunner you could hire as when you highlighted him it said 'shadowrunner' lol. Then I found out you could hire nearly everyone at the clubs. I loved the atmosphere of that game the awesome cyberpunk setting . The music was great the rat shaman and vampire arc was a little out there.
It is a very special game indeed. When i first played a ROM of it back in the early-mid 2000s the first thing I thought was "this feels like a more grown up smash tv".
And indeed, the devs who ported that arcade classic to the SNES (the defining version in my opinion) also made Shadowrun, and even some of the music sounds very similar!
Just found you last night. Big fan.
Also I love your opening. Brings me back to the 80s/90s for some odd reason.
Anyhow. Keep up the good work. And thanks for the great videos.
Very entertaining as always. Thank you, and i hope for more of these lists.
Love these lists, Kim! Keep up the good work!
I'd rank Mario Kart higher than fzero. And original Sim City had so much charm for a city builder. Would include secret of mana. Really SNES needs at least a top100 list to do it justice :)
ayy i see what you did there!
Holly smoke! I'm a big Rik Mayall fan and just watched his Nintendo adverts on you tube thanks to your video! With an advertising campaign like that, Iit's no wonder I bought a gameboy and snes in the 90's and am still addicted to Nintendo today..😂
this is my ~5th time watching this, it's always late at night and i fall asleep to your vids...best thing i've found this year is kim
Thanx man, just bought lost vikings. never heard of it but it looks awesome. can't wait to play.
Always love your commentary on games. Good stuff
(Hagane: The Final Conflict) was never a Blockbuster Exclusive, that was just an urban myth started by CGRundertoe and Mike Matei that just ended up inflating the after market price.
SNES Drunk even debunked this in one of his Videos
ruclips.net/video/j7Mkyb5uX0A/видео.html
Mike Matei sucks.
Can't wait for you to make one of these list for the PS1, my favorite console. It's still fun to watch these in the mean time though :D
Eh? People didn't like Yoshi at the time? That's new to me
I was gonna say the same! I think it's Toad that people hate because of his annoying presence in the Mario cartoons.
Yeah don’t remember that at all. Had a SNES when it came out
Dumb. Fucking loved Yoshi.
I don't remember that being a thing either, but that may be because I am from the US and she is from the UK and reaction to yoshi may have been different over there for what ever reason. Though even if it IS something that is a misconception on her part it's entirely trivial and NOT something to basically bash someone over in the comments section, for crying out loud people.
Everybody in my third grade class could draw Yoshi.
KIM this list was dynamite. I respect the hell out of this list..you kept it true to yourself and i love the hell out of a it a lot more then a lot of other youtubers.
You thoroughly impressed me here. Great work.
Really enjoyed this list, completely different from my own (which is why I love these lists). The 3rd in my list isn't even featured here 🙈 and I 100% agree that DKC is my favorite of the series as well.
Had never heard of or played Hagane. Cheers for that recommendation. Will check it out.
As always Kim, great video, loving your work...
I know what you mean with Sim City 2000. I did not have anything that could run Doom until the SNES version came out.
I played the heck out of it. I beat all the episodes. I know it gets criticized a lot but its still perfectly payable.
Super mariokart, zelda, super mario world, zombies ate my neighbours, secret of mana, shadowrun, syndicate, powermonger, bomberman, sim city, populus, king arthurs world...some of my favourite games.
Fantastic list as always. I have to go with Super Metroid and Earthbound as my personal faves on the system.
Great video like always. Surprised to not see super punch out in your list since punch out scored so high in your nes list.
That Yoshi's Island placing earned my sub, great list.
Kim Justice. Bringing the thunder to make Friday so damn sweet!
Great list Kim .. ton of stuff I had not even heard of before.
It's incredible how small in size a lot of SNES games are, but are definitely packed full of value.
Super Probotector is in my top 5. 😎👍
I am just starting to enjoy the Snes in 2021, good list, and some fantastic games to play here thanks
Excellent video!! It's a very good list of 50 game gems from the best of SNES. And the important thing about everything that includes all variety of genres and is aimed at all tastes and is a great guide to selecting and buying games. Cheers!!
Kim , you truly are the best.
Thank you Kim. A well enjoyed episode.
Love the details and uniqueness in your lists! Long live the SNES! 🎉
Amazing work as always Kim!
You’ve given me some ideas for my next purchases 👍🏻
Great list! I would've included puzzlers like Panel de Pon/Tetris Attack and Super Puyo Puyo 2.
Yoshi's Island is such a masterpiece. Aside from getting 100% i can't even really think of anything about it that I dislike. It checks out on everything that I love about 2d platformers.
Me too! My favourite game of all time, doesn’t get the credit it deserves. Holds up insanely well, the game still looks incredible to today. Going through this list it looks like it’s a generation beyond every other game on this list.
Great upload. You sound Like Terry Jones from Monty Python. Keep up the good work!
Ahh, Axelay. The first game to let me lay my axe.
Great video, watched it again straight after. But Kim, where's Super Bomberman? and Final Fight? There are so many more great SNES games, would you ever expand this to top 100?
Great list! And by that I mean that I, of course, disagree with most of it but it was still entertaining and informative! I envy the fact that you have yet to play / finish so many Zelda games and Square classics. I wish I could experience those for the first time again. I recommend Dragon Quest 5 in particular. It's often overlooked in the west, but it's part of the SNES holy trinity of rpgs alongside FF6 and Chrono Trigger.
Secret of mana was also a jrpg classic on snes.
Been looking forward to this.
The SNES is my second favourite console. Nice to see you mentioned Kirby’s Dream Course, my fave. I have poor hand eye coordination and the game does not require twitch reflexes only planning.
Always look forward to these.
An Acorn/BBC top 50 would be cool.
Hagane being a Blockbuster exclusive is actually (ACK-chually) just an urban legend.

You know a system has a fantastic line-up of titles when, even though it's known far & wide as an RPG machine, _and_ is home to some of the greatest console RPGs of all time...only 2 RPGs make the top 50 of a Top 50 list.
Great top 50. One of my favourite SNES games was Unirally. (Uniracers) in the states. Top 2 player action.
@James Da Costa, I played Unirally/Uniracers as well...I honestly was only marginally impressed with the game.
Great list, the only thing missing is the fantastic RPG Secret of Mana.
Very entertaining! Thanks
Long time fan, awesome video as usual. Wanted to say though, Hagane actually wasnt a blockbuster exclusive, I believe that got debunked 2 years ago, but yeah it's so odd the story behind that one in general lol anyways look forward to the next vid!
1. Super Mario Kart
2. Streetfighter 2 Turbo
3. Link to the Past
4. Super Mario World
5. Super Tennis
I played Sim City 2000 back in the days.
It really was great. I even needed to create a start disk so it could run with my 4 MB RAM machine. That was the first time I created one and I felt like a god when it worked. Music and sound only worked when I upgraded to 8 MB though.
I love #36 The Fireman. Beat it one of my favorites on the Snes.
Mario All-Stars is such a fun game
Kudo's on SimCity2000, love that game, it's one that you can always fire up when you actually want to kill some time on a game. I even play the original sometimes... one of the few games that you have to take slowly. I remember getting the Playstation version, and leaving it on for days on end just collecting taxes.
Big money, Big prizes - I love it!. I played it a lot. don't think that i ever got to the pleasure dome.
Kim! Any chance of getting a pastebin link for this or any future top game lists? Several of them I've watched I wanted to go back and research your suggestions myself, and it might be easier with a text list. Thanks for this!
The sheer volume of things that Kim has reviewed has to be a record of some sort.
The aesthetic in the clip of Actraiser reminds me of the second zone in Sonic the Hedgehog.
+Feenix
A lot of stone and spikes!
a e s t h e t i c *
Great list
Lufia II Rise of the Sinistrals is a really underrated JRPG
Love your videos pal, this was one of my favourite, as they just physically have better graphics than the Megadrive!
I remember winning rounds of Biker Mice From Mars by just killing all the opponents one by one instead of actually racing. Good times.
Nice seeing some The Firemen representation.
You could make a video about your top 50 phone numbers and I'd still love it! :)
You have a ton of games to catch up here, Kim.
Not just the RpGs, but great games like Kirby Superstar.
The spiritual prequel and sequel to Super Smash T.V., which are Robotron 2084 and Total Carnage, respectively, also got SNES/NSFC ports, the latter under its own title and the former under an arcade collection that is called Williams' Arcade Greatest Hits. Both games also got Sega Genesis/Mega Drive ports under the same titles as they appeared on the SNES/NSFC, and Smash T.V. even had a surprisingly good NES/FDS port as well.
Great video mate. Agree with the placing on Yoshi’s Island, great to see it get some love, far and away the best looking game on the system. Not to mention the incredible level design. The one I would argue with the placement the most is DKC2, platforming perfection in my opinion. My Top 5 is:
1. Yoshi’s Island
2. Donkey Kong Country 2
3. Super Metroid
4. Final Fantasy VI
5. Chrono Trigger
Very nice, question remains, where would I find all these games to play?? :-(
A great list. Personally I would squeeze in PLOK!, Super SWIV and the immensely underrated Krusty's Super Fun House.
I'd like to know the circles you hung around in if people criticised the massively acclaimed dk country. Game was a smash when it came out
I've had many people argue with me that they just weren't a fan of the digitized graphics at the time. Although, I think many people were just burnt out on the use of them after Mortal Kombat popularized it and the style sort of blew up. The art style really has nothing to do with how great the game is, so I never got the argument.
If the slowdown in Super Ghouls n' Ghosts bothers you, you may want to try the version that on Capcom Classics Collection for PS2. I don't know if it was intentionally overclocked or if it's just an emulation issue, but it seriously reduces the slowdown if not removing it entirely - at least on the NTSC version, never played it on PAL.
Or just emulate it and overclock the CPU and while you're at it remove the sprite limit to get rid of the annoying flickering.
Haha, I had Goof Troop, a really involving game! No, Zombies Ate My Neighbours? King Arthur's World?
That fireman game looks pretty cool. Always liked that top down look, Zelda, GB on Mega, GB2 on Nes.
Damn, super smash tv was amazing.
No secret of mana?
It appears to be almost a direct cross between FF and LOZ.. I have trouble with the inventory system tho.. I can totally relate to where he implies he loses his place with RPGs.. I do love the genre however
The warbly synth that goes with your intro logo evokes such dread in me. Is it actually from one of those wretched old logos like Screen Gems or is it an original composition?
Solid list I must say
Nice one Kim
I'm pretty sure the Hagane blockbuster exclusive thing is just an urban legend, I'm surprised Guru Larry hasn't showed up in the comments to correct you on that lol.
Firestriker... good times! Check out the spiritual sequel Strikey Sisters. :)
I still remember demons crest being stacked walls deep at the toy shops when i was a wee lad because nobody ever bought it. If only i had bought the whole damn shelve lol.
Lol i was the other way around. I really wanted Super Mario world, but that bundle was re[placed by the sf2 bundle at that time. I eventually learned to like the game and got pretty damn good, but when i finally got my hands on Super Mario world that became my favorite SNES game until LTTP came out. And totally agree on the fist Mario kart being the best. That game just felt right to drive.
If you want to check out another Kirby game, I recommend Kirby's Adventure on the NES. It's very creative and beautiful, and a lot of fun despite the fact that it's not very challenging.
I wish I'd known about Blackthorne back in the day, I would have loved it. I never knew what the difference was between the Megaman and X games, I just skipped hem as I had Megaman on the Nes. I had Actraiser, loved it.
Not enough 16 Bit vertical shooter mini reviews contain references to Robert Palmer these days. Fair play to ya.
Holy shit. The exact same thing always happened to me with FF6. Chrono Trigger on the other hand, I slept like 4 hours total between starting it and finishing.
Edit: F Zero's soundtrack is one of the best of all time
ISS Deluxe was a legendary football game and then PS1 PES and ISS on N64. My Brother and I never touched FIFA again until the PS3 era.
Great list but you missed a couple of great games. Pocky and Rocky, True Lies, The Chaos Engine, SENSIBLE SOCCER, CANNON FODDER, Jim Power, Legend and many others.
You are missing out on the Kirby series. Please play them! I would love to see a series retrospective.
It was the same situation for me with Sim City 2000, I so wanted but would never have the right stuff at home to play it. Then one day I walked into Dixons and they had Sim City 2000 for £49.99. I played it to death and was an amazing port for the SNES. I played it right up to the day I got my PC years later.
@Marcus M, same story here, except I bought my copy of the game through the mail from a video game store in New Jersey, USA (I think), along with some other good shooter games, namely, Darius Twin, Phalanx, Super R-Type, and R-Type III: The Third Lightning (which both Phalanx and R-Type III: The Third Lightning also have GBA ports).
Yeah, I had it for the Amiga, hen I got the Snes version, loved i!
Chrono Trigger is definitely #1 in my opinion. I suppose I'm biased as this game was one of the first RPGs I played on Super Nintendo, outside of LOZ. I feel like it *WAS* a hidden gem, not so much anymore, but hey! still gotta love this game.
Great Super Nintendo list
Curious if you've gone back since them to finish some of these games you wanted to get to.
Speaking of Horizon Chase Turbo, some of the people that worked on the Top Gear (or, as they most likely called it in PAL regions, for obvious reasons, Top Racer, though, ironically, NTSB-U regions, specifically, the USA, would actually get a version of Top Gear of their own, to mixed reviews) series also did the music for that game, and one of the tracks for Top Gear/Top Racer was actually in the OST of Horizon Chase Turbo.
I'll be honest, I'm surprised Super Mario World wasn't in the top 10, especially considering the time. There was simply nothing quite like it for the first couple of years of the SNES life.
I've heard that intro music before and can I hell put my finger on it. C'mon Kim, put me out of my misery.
The music in Parodius reminds me of Stranger In Paradise.
This is a true story, but one of my high school teachers told me about how much that they loved playing The Lost Vikings and I have yet to play the game. :(
