    Man I love these styles of videos so much haha. And so awesome to see Illusion of Gaia. It's one of my favorite SNES games and so I'm always excited to see it get some love

      That’s a fun tidbit we see the games you play and Mario maker of course but never would have imagined you playing illusion of Gaia that’s really cool have you tried terranigma? The whole quintet trilogy is awesome

    Mystical Ninja was one of the first games I ever owned and as a little kid I fell in love with it. So it completely blew my mind during the N64 Era when Mystical Ninja 64 was released. Fond memories of both those games. Great list

    Ogre Battle! Defined my childhood and was a game I randomly found it as a meme with a friend.

    Phalanx may be underrated but something tells me that the epic box art is part of the reason not as many people played it

  • @craiganderson7986
    @craiganderson7986 3 года назад +9

    You picked a great variety of genres, but I would’ve substituted Equinox for one of the 3 rpgs. It’s a sequel to the nes game Solstice, an isometric puzzler where each screen is a room from which you must escape. Good fun!

    Phalanx was a great, underrated, SNES title that no one talks about... and the GBA conversion was very smooth as well.

    Secret of Evermore's environment and music is fantastic and fun fact the composer who did skyrim worked on the music in the game and it was his first game that he composed for.

    I love all the Action/Adventure/RPGs I'm supposed to love, Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, Final Fantasy, the Legend of Zelda... but for me, Illusion of Gaia has ALWAYS been my favorite Action/Adventure/RPG on the system.

    @sidneyvandykeii3169 3 дня назад

    Weaponlord IS "one" of the best fighting games on the system. The controls are quite different from a Street Fighter control scheme, they do make sense once you understand them a little.
    This is #1 fighting game that I would love to see a quality remaster of followed by a new game made with modern hardware.

  • @jasonleveck8546
    @jasonleveck8546 7 месяцев назад

    So many great games from that era! Brings back some of the fondest memories. That SNES tech. was moved on from while a lot of meat was still on the bone. The SNES was purposefully set low by Nintendo, in terms of overall power in graphical processing.

  • @cam9144
    @cam9144 3 года назад +2

    I just beat Lufia 2 for the first time this year. Its a really great RPG but the amount of dungeon puzzles gets to wear out its welcome in the last half. The story starts to really pick up but you're slowed down to hard with very long dungeons.

  • @rpgaholic8202
    @rpgaholic8202 3 года назад

    I think the infamous cover art is why Phalanx is underrated.
    ----
    Mega Man Soccer. Wow, that takes me back.
    ----
    Ogre Battle, I am pretty sure I commented on this game in another of your videos, but since the SNES only allowed you to save between stages, you're better off not pulling cards when you liberate cities but buying them from the shop between stages. Also, keep one team specifically for liberating cities, as a "good" team with clerics and the like boost your reputation, even if all your other teams are monsters, pumpkins, and witches. And if I had the choice, I'd play the PS1 port instead.
    Also, only 486 likes? This video is under-rated.

  • @MrQ12elve
    @MrQ12elve 3 года назад

    another good one that gets no love is 'robotrek'
    also 'illusion of gaia' is a great game, make sure you play 'soulblazer' and 'terranigma' as it's part of a trilogy, I can vouch for soulblazer being awesome but haven't played terranigma yet

    • @chasemagee1227
      @chasemagee1227 3 года назад

      You have to play Terranigma. It is close to illusion of Gaia but imo it is just a bit better.

    Metal Warriors is a better enjoyed with Game Genie cheats although without cheats it's still quite enjoyable too.

  • @ChronicSensei
    @ChronicSensei 2 года назад

    What is the game the intro music is from. It sounds very familiar. Maybe super hang on or a 2d side scrolling shooter who's name I can't think of.

    • @ChronicSensei
      @ChronicSensei 2 года назад

      Figured it out. It was super hang on. I knew it sounded familiar. I remember playing that back in arcades in the early 90's. The good old times.

  • @NexusCreid
    @NexusCreid 3 года назад +1

    Never played Phalanx, but I'll give it a... shot. 😉
    Tetris Attack is my jam!
    Cybernator had a better story than Metal Warrior, but the different mechs make it special.
    Weaponlord looks interesting.
    Ogre Battle seems down my strategic line.
    Lufia 2's boss theme lives in my playlist!
    Megaman Soccer is the only think I like about the most popular sport in the world.
    Mystical Ninja... a classic, but the first N64 game is an epic!
    Secret of Evermore? I was disappointed it was not Secret of Mana.
    Illusion of Gaia is such an adventure. Tgat sky temple tho.....
    My pick: Mario Paint. I played that game from 1993 to 2000 faithfully, designing scenes from made-up games, composing simple songs, making rudimentary animations, recording scenes on VHS, and... swatting flies with vigor!
    Also, Ninjawarriors. Robot ninjas. 'Nuff said.
    Great video, TVGS!

    I don't think I've owned or played most of the games In this vid.
    This might be subjective, but Jurassic Park 2: The Chaos Continues was an underrated SNES game in my opinion.
    It can be brutal, but it is fun to play, especially 2 player. Plus the intro cutscene for a SNES game was impressive.

    • @thatvideogamesshow

      @That Video Games Show, You're welcome.
      Jurassic Park 2 SNES is basically Contra meets Jurassic Park. Some pretty good music too.
      The 1st SNES Jurassic Park gan e isn't bad too. It has got some good music and neat FPS moments.

    I’ve always thought that Axley is underrated. A stunning shooter for it’s time that switched between side scrolling and a top down view. It had some great boss designs and good use of Mode 7. Thing is, it seems that not a lot of people got to play it back in the day. Shame.
