Great video as always. My friend gifted me a SNES for Xmas and I'm only just now getting into it! Lots of fun to be had, I'm excited. Thanks for the list, and the other one you did too, watched em both twice.
Unirally is called “Uniracers” in North America. It was one of the few games I had on SNES and I loved it. The music is a jam and the game is endlessly replayable!!
It took me ages to learn all the tricks in the game and earn the gold medals. I remember my sister bought the game and at first I thought it was weird, but once I challenged myself to finishing it, I really appreciated the challenge and the maps.
i have cybernator, its awesome, i discovered it way back then. of course this was when konami was in their prime way back. i'll probably pick up a few of these u showed in your video. a few i havent heard of. i've been getting back into retro cart collecting and whew.. it's expensive! wow. but it's fun.. as i'm lookin at utube channels and discovering new games i hadnt heard of back then.
Amuses me still when i hear him refer to these games as "snes". Must be a euro thing or new generation thing because ive never heard anyone say it as a word before. Growing up when these systems were introduced we always just called them n.e.s. for regular nintendo or super for the other. In context just saying "super" people knew. But.. This is Florida im talking about though and we tend to do things very differently down here so maybe it was just my corner of the world that did so and everywhere else ppl do say "snes" 😅
There's a really good remake of Cybernator on the PS2 called Vulken. It's got all the parts Censored from the snes western release re-added, and strangely, it's a PAL exclusive.
I can't find it on google, just keep getting results for PS2 emulation! :( - edit - found it! didn't expect it to still be sprite based, interesting that it got a remake on the PS2 at al! ruclips.net/video/x7YTRqZAiPQ/видео.html
@@RetroBreak Despite having the cut content, unfortunately the PS2 remake is a really rushed port with lots of flaws. I recommend to either get the Super Famicom original or the newly announced Switch/PC port by the legends of M2 instead.
Great list! My favorite hidden gem is E.V.O Search for Eden. It's very flawed, by there really is no other game quite like it, and I end up playing through it at least once every couple years haha.
road runner is horrible... graphically is pretty, but the game itself is anoying with its horrible control and actually boring (very complicated design on later stages wich is frustrating... and i DID finished the game)
4:34 - I so fully agree. This is my favourite puzzle game of all times. I can't understand why Nintendo never give this GEM credit. And in re-releases it is of some dumb reason only the NES version they give, while the SNES version is superior.
Great video. Great games. This is my first time seeing your videos. I am an instant subscriber. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. ❤ P.S. anyone ever tell you that you look like James McAvoy?
Awesome! Glad RUclips sent you my way! You’ve got loads to look back on if you enjoyed this :D and, yes actually, some kids shouted “Charles Xavier!” At me one day 😂
Unirally was called Uniracer here in the States. LOVED that game. I got it for $10.00 (usd) on clearance way back in 1996. Great fun. I wish that would see a release on Switch SNES Online.
I’d consider Fire Striker. It’s sort of a Breakout ball-bouncing game, but with a taste of Zelda looking dungeons and free moving characters. Great co-op too!
if you like Rock n Roll Racing, you WOULD LOVE Biker Mice from Mars. I think it is the far superior title. So much more variety, but somehow balanced quite well.
This is the first time I've seen Equinox gameplay, actually! I used to see it in Nintendo Power a lot but never really checked it out (as a kid, it looked like one of those games that would be "too complex" for me), but I think you sold me on it! Cybernator is definitely on my "try this" list, as I love Metal Warriors (the spiritual sequel quite a lot). Arkanoid, too, looks great! Surprised to see praise for Death Valley Rally (the Road Runner game). I actually liked it quite a bit as a kid (I still do) though I'll admit it's a bit rough control-wise. And I totally agree, Uniracers/Unirally is criminally underrated. I'll never understood why it never took off (aside from the Pixar debacle). It was one of the games we'd always play whenever I had friends over. Great video! You've piqued my interest in every one of these.
Equinox isn't that complex, although yeah for some reason I felt a bit daunted first time I saw it too, it's easy to get into though! You should give it a try :)
Great footage but I wouldn't call all these games on SNES hidden gems. A good few are very well known ( still doesn't stop them from being great mind )
Your collection its famicom ..prefer real snes ..from America ... And yess Wario Woods ..1 of the best puzzle game..wtf Unirally ..wrong title...Its UNI RACER lol
Here's 5 hidden gems I lost countless hours in Lemmings 2: The Tribes Twelve different Tribes and 40 new moves, Lemmings best game in the series, ported to the SNES by Rockstar Games (DMA Design) themselves. Theme Park Apart from Sim City and Civilization, Theme Park was another easy to learn, not too complex builder/sim game for the SNES. As a sim fan you had to have it in your collection as games like this, and good ones at that, were a rarity on the SNES. Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 The definitive one, that for some unruly reason always stayed in the shadows of MK1, MK2, and MK3. The competitive scene has selected UMKIII though, and so do I. E.V.O.: Search for Eden Absolutely fantastic and unique action RPG. Needs a sequel, a remaster, a clone, and more players being aware. Nothing comes close, it's as unique as ActRaiser and Live A Live. Winter Gold Felt like a next gen game. Possibly SNES best 3D graphics.
I think Paladin's quest is just Lennus (I could be wrong) And Lennus 2 IS simply the sequel, regardless, it was translated into English and is a really good time!
I am with you on Wario’s Woods and I am also a sucker for a good block falling puzzle game. Rock n Roll is a fantastic game to play with friends and you made a good few suggestions that I will have to have a crack at, one being uniracers - great video!!!
Equinox was actually the sequel to another isometric game on the NES, Solstice. (See a pattern?) As for Paladin's Quest, it is actually the first Lennus game. Lennus 2 was never released in the US. I won't tell you where you can get it in English, but I'm sure you know. I honestly really enjoyed PQ. The only thing that really bothers me about it, and this is true for a *lot* of older RPGS, is how slow it feels. I didn't notice it so much as a kid, but there are actually a lot of older RPGs that if I were to play them now I'd have to use something to double their speed.
Have you tried Firepower 2000? back when the game came out, Nintendo Power magazine said almost verbatim that this could "possibly be the greatest shooting game of all time". That's what made me go and get it back then
I definitely wanna try some of these when I get my retro device. My hidden gem is blackthorne. Idk if it's hidden or not but I never hear it. It is absolutely amazing. Still today, it's my favorite game of all time
I'm trying to remember a game l used to play. It played like Super Aleste (spaceship scrolling from bottom to top). But the weapons were more like Gradius 3 in outer space. Anyone ??
That round runner game absolutely sucks. The graphics are amazing but that’s all it’s good qualities. The levels don’t match ur abilities, ur penalized for going fast, there’s way too much platforming that stops u from going fast and the floaty jump makes it a pain, and it’s way too easy to get lost and not know where to go in the levels. Also, your sprite is way too big, which makes you a giant target and prevents you from seeing what’s coming up on screen to react fast enough to a jump over a gap or dodge an enemy.
Thanks man I was looking for some sNES titles to add to my r4 it’s really help pick some games that I’ve never heard about plus cyberNater kind of reminded me of shinobi on the sega Genesis so thanks
I always enjoy these lists as it's nice to hear of something new and different, thanks for the vid! I feel like Gunparu Gunman's Proof is a hidden gem, check it out I think you'll like it!
Wow lots of neat games in this video! Unirally and Sparkster both piqued my interest the most, I’ll definitely have to check those out! I think for me Umihara Kawase and Pop’n TwinBee are two of the best “hidden gems” I’ve found that no one talks about. Both amazing games! Great video as always, keep up the great work!
Honestly skip Sparkster and play Rocket Knight Adventures on the Genesis. Sparkster is beautiful and has one of the best intro stage themes of all time, but the game is not fun at all. It suffers from zoomed-in syndrome and extremely poor level design. The second Genesis entry (Rocket Knight Adventures 2: Sparkster) is also pretty bad and suffers from poor level design as well. Rocket Knight Adventures is lightyears ahead of these two games and is a much more enjoyable play with much better mechanics and level design.
Great video, some nice titles there although I'm not sure Super Aleste is a hidden gem? It's pretty well known in the snes community. I've just sold my pal copy as picking up the jap version which has 3 extra levels! Anyway keep up the good work! Look forward to your next vid 👍
I feel like most the games on this list are a worse version of another SNES game. Replacements: Brainlord for Equinox, Gun Hazard and Metal Warriors for Cybernator, UN Squadron for Aleste, Firestriker for Arkenoid, Araiguma Rascal for Wario's Woods, Lennus 2 for Paladin's Quest (which is Lennus 1), Speedy Gonzales for Roadrunner. Definitely play the last three games though.
Agree they are also awesome games, but I don't own them :'( IO was only showing ones in my personal collection. In the future I might do a roms version, then I can include much more interesting and rare games
I used to play unirally against my brother alllll the time! I'd be able to compete with my (older) brother on the race tracks, but the trick-tracks I just didn't stand a chance! So much fun.
Was thinking King Arthur World at first, but i recommend Metal Marines ruclips.net/video/Kc8ibhXKhew/видео.html en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_Marines This was the first RTS game i remember playing love it, oh still have all the password scribbled in the box 😁
I see your video captures are from emulators and the games you show are mostly pal, I was wondering what your preference is to playing, 50hz pal on real hardware crt etc or just running ntsc versions on an emulator, would be a cool video to discuss, my self I prefer hardware and ntsc games, even though I'm from the UK, but I play mostly on and emu because it's just so more convenient :/
I recorded these videos with the carts I’m showing in the video, on the Super NT and set them to 60hz after starting the games. That’s my preferred way to play, can use the original controller then, and it just feels nicer than using an emulator! On my regular SNES I have a 50/50hz switch too so I tend to turn that on if the game isn’t optimised
@@RetroBreak ahh fantastic reply didn't expect you to have that set up, that would be a cool video though, showing everyone the different ways to play, I totally forgot about getting a 50 60hz switch since buying an ntsc snes, I pass up so many pal snes games too :/
Doh is the huge orange/red wireframe-head boss from Rainbow Islands. You can see him on the box art of Arkanoid. Doh It Again is a pun on his name, admittedly that doesn't make it much less weird
Good video! Cybernator is tough but such a great game, and what a soundtrack... Paladin's Quest would be Lennus 1. Lennus 2 is a significant upgrade on every level and the plot of the first game ends up being quite important later on. The magic system is quite curious, and the mercenary system offers a lot of replayability. There's a fan translation for it, so if you can give it a try. One random weird game I ended up enjoying a lot was King Arthur's World. It's a 2D real time strategy with a variety of classes with different talents, pretty reliant on puzzle-like design. It gets quite tough as the game loves to laugh at you, and like RnR Racing it works at half the frame rate, but I'd be lying if I said I did not enjoy it, specially learning to do all sort of tricks with archers and wizards. There's many Super Famicom games no one talks about too...
The term "hidden gem" really seems to mean nothing. Is a game a hidden gem if it sold well, had multiple sequels/remakes, and is talked about constantly? That does sound like a gem, but it doesn't sound like it's hiding.
1:40 Cybernator is part two of the "Assault Suit" series, and was called "Assault Suits Valken" in Japan, with part one of the series (Mega Drive game) called "Assault Suit Leynos" in Japan ("Target Earth" in the USA for the Genesis). There is also a 2nd game for each of those on the SEGA Saturn ("Assault Suit Leynos 2") and PlayStation ("Assault Suit Valken 2") - sadly only Japan exclusive this time. There was also a remake of the first game ("Leynos" or "Target Earth") for the PS4/Windows PC, which follows more closely the original Japanese storyline, as the story in the western versions of those games in the series were mostly removed. Especially the 2nd game ("Cybernator") was censored a lot, which makes the Japanese version very interesting for an import. :)
You're 100% right on Wario's Woods. The NES version is on the Switch Online service but for whatever reason, the SNES version is not. Sorta getting lost to time. My childhood best friend and I pick up our ongoing file that we've been playing since middle school anytime he's in town.
Good to see Sparkster getting some love. I don't know if Legend of the Mystical Ninja and Contra III: The Alien Wars count as hidden gems but those are often on my list alongside Sparkster of masterpieces that aren't first-party Nintendo games. Tiny Toons Adventures: Buster Busts Loose was very good as well, even if it was short. And Top Gear is a hidden gem that I think needs a whole lot more appreciation.
How have I never played Equinox? Your channel is a gold mine, dood.

What a day
Aleste is called Space Megaforce in the US. Just beat it recently. Love me vertical shooters!

Glad someones talks about Paladins Quest, not a bad game IMO, just different.
I used to have Unirally on my snes back in the day.
Great game 👍🏻
It's really fun!
Undercover Cops is a good beat em up, I've only played on an emulator, don't think we got a pal version
Uniracers was incredible!

Cybernator is definitely a hidden gem. Assault Suit Leynos 2 for the Saturn is the successor and also great.
Nostalgia hit me hard when you showed that Arkenoid cartridge.
It's one of the first games I've ever played, and I played the hell out of it as a kid.
Rock'n Roll Racing is awesome!
Great racing game. My favorite bike racing game is Biker Mice From Mars
Yes it is
@@gimcrack555 I made the same comment, Biker Mice on snes is INSANELY GOOD!

Sparkster ~
Great selection! I will definitely play these on my Wii, Wii U and Switch. Like & sub.🙃

Been playing a little Metal Warriors/Aleste myself these days, good for a 5-minute break
Great footage but I wouldn't call all these games on SNES hidden gems. A good few are very well known ( still doesn't stop them from being great mind )

nice shout for paladin quest and rock and roll racing
cmiiw, paladin quest i think its the very first rpg game that your party member can change
did you know there is a VERY similar game to Equinox on the NES called Solstice? that cannot be a coincidence
You forgot the best hidden gem, The Firemen. If you haven't played it yet, go play it, its amazing.
I always enjoy these lists as it's nice to hear of something new and different, thanks for the vid! I feel like Gunparu Gunman's Proof is a hidden gem, check it out I think you'll like it!
Thanks! Added that to my list! Looks coo!
Yay, someone else has heard of Paladin's Quest. Also, its Lennus in Japan, and the sequel was Lennus 2 which the west never got.
I THINK THAT TOP GEAR 3000 IS A HIDDEN GEM BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW THAT TOP GEAR HAS THREE ENTRIES ON THE CONSLE IT IS AN AWESOME RACER!
A little paint is not worth the repurchase, and that packaging looks like the vintage line for sure.
Unirally is a lot of fun!
And Road Runner is awesome! Had that game as a kid. Was super hard though. Gotta see if I can complete it as an adult.
Super Aleste is weird but awesome and Sparkster in general needs more love!
Cybernator is freaking amazing. Pity that's a bit short. There's a switch version coming out.
Equinox is downright ugly, but you keep saying the graphics are amazing lol
I used to play Wario woods all the time. Such a fun puzzle game.
Could you do another video about what games you been playing lately and more tips on playing thru a backlog?
Paladin's Quest is Lennus 1 in Japan. Lennus 2 was never release outside JP and is also a marvelous game.
Good all unirally loved this game back in the day the multiplayer was fun too
Had Equinox as a child but I hated it because it was too complicated lol😅😅
Wow you’re actually really knowledgeable about this stuff.
Wow lots of neat games in this video! Unirally and Sparkster both piqued my interest the most, I’ll definitely have to check those out! I think for me Umihara Kawase and Pop’n TwinBee are two of the best “hidden gems” I’ve found that no one talks about. Both amazing games! Great video as always, keep up the great work!

ActRaiser 2, Pieces and Tom & Jerry are my most common picks

Uni rally, ah yes it was called uniracers in the states. Fun times!😊
hmm. Cybernator was on the cover of magazines. not sure about that one
Unirally is one of my favorite games ever, it's so much fun
I feel like most the games on this list are a worse version of another SNES game. Replacements: Brainlord for Equinox, Gun Hazard and Metal Warriors for Cybernator, UN Squadron for Aleste, Firestriker for Arkenoid, Araiguma Rascal for Wario's Woods, Lennus 2 for Paladin's Quest (which is Lennus 1), Speedy Gonzales for Roadrunner. Definitely play the last three games though.
Agree they are also awesome games, but I don't own them :'( IO was only showing ones in my personal collection. In the future I might do a roms version, then I can include much more interesting and rare games
Went Lees games around 4 years ago now and got some really good PS1 games great shop if it's the same one in morecambe.
Yeah, that's the one! Probably been about 4 years since I went last too, overdue another visit I think! :D
Interesting picks. No love for Ninjawarriors?
They did a couple of cybenater games on switch
Unirally somehow reminds me of Sonic the hedgehog.
I wouldn't call space megaforce a hidden gem.
I'm surprised there is no Harvest Moon in this gems!
I used to play unirally against my brother alllll the time! I'd be able to compete with my (older) brother on the race tracks, but the trick-tracks I just didn't stand a chance! So much fun.

You really know your stuff babyyyy !!!!
Wario's Woods is totally bonkers multiplayer
Really cool list😃And yah Rock N' Roll Racing was a big thing to me as a kid, when I was hearing for the first time the track bad to the bone😃😃
The term "hidden gem" really seems to mean nothing. Is a game a hidden gem if it sold well, had multiple sequels/remakes, and is talked about constantly? That does sound like a gem, but it doesn't sound like it's hiding.
Which game are you referring to?
Paladin's Quest looks incredible, definitely checking that one out
Strap in, it's amazing and the fights are ridiculous haha.
*cough cough earthworm jim cough cough*
I don’t think you can call earthworm Jim a hidden gem, it was one of the most popular games that generation! Awesome game though
Personally I disagree. My parents who grew up with SNES’s had never heard of it when I brought it up once. It’s all good though.
i own so many of this.. i was obviously an odd kid
I love your channel. You're so pleasant
Not a bad list, could still have more.
1:40 Cybernator is part two of the "Assault Suit" series, and was called "Assault Suits Valken" in Japan, with part one of the series (Mega Drive game) called "Assault Suit Leynos" in Japan ("Target Earth" in the USA for the Genesis). There is also a 2nd game for each of those on the SEGA Saturn ("Assault Suit Leynos 2") and PlayStation ("Assault Suit Valken 2") - sadly only Japan exclusive this time.
There was also a remake of the first game ("Leynos" or "Target Earth") for the PS4/Windows PC, which follows more closely the original Japanese storyline, as the story in the western versions of those games in the series were mostly removed. Especially the 2nd game ("Cybernator") was censored a lot, which makes the Japanese version very interesting for an import. :)
From the start. Never heard of equinox or cybernator.
Subbed right away haha. Good stuff man.
i love cybernator, was playing it earlier lol
Great video friend!! What a list of gems from SuperNintendo, I have Cybernator, Rock and roll racing and Sparkster from that list. Greetings!!
such a sweet boy. i like your videos.
You're 100% right on Wario's Woods. The NES version is on the Switch Online service but for whatever reason, the SNES version is not. Sorta getting lost to time. My childhood best friend and I pick up our ongoing file that we've been playing since middle school anytime he's in town.
Game Zone on the Middle level of the Darwin Centre? I used to buy my games there back when it was open.
Yeah, so sad it's not around any more :(
Cybenater fantastic but short game
Good to see Sparkster getting some love. I don't know if Legend of the Mystical Ninja and Contra III: The Alien Wars count as hidden gems but those are often on my list alongside Sparkster of masterpieces that aren't first-party Nintendo games. Tiny Toons Adventures: Buster Busts Loose was very good as well, even if it was short. And Top Gear is a hidden gem that I think needs a whole lot more appreciation.
Taekwon-do is my new favorite game for snes. Rock and Roll racing is my all time favorite game, thank you for putting it in your list.
