Loved that he started talking about the Big Lebowski when it said "Bummer man" in the screen, lol, like the Dude in the Big Lebowski's studio. "It's a bummer, man" "Mind if I do a J?"
Super Bowling is the first game I got my gramps to play. When I had to trade my Snes in for the N64 he asked me to keep the game. We eventually got another SNES and he got to play it again. It's the one game he liked I kept and will not get rid of ever.
Super Bowling really surprised me with how good it was as a kid -- it was one of those times when all the new games at Blockbuster's were rented out and this was one of the few available that I hadn't tried... and I actually ended up having a nice weekend with it lol

@@folzyfantasy15 Nice thing about Hollywood Video was that they photocopied the manuals because they knew everyone was -stealing- "collecting" them from rentals lol
One Fun fact is that It has some nintendesque americanesque censorships regarding some animations that go on screen after you thrown a ball, like beer and so. That's why i went for the japanese release
Man, I adored Super Bowling as a kid. My mom loved bowling and got it for herself when I was a kid and we spent so much time together playing it. Such a memorable soundtrack.
Super Bowling also gets points for being one of the easiest SNES games to play with 4 players, since you just pass the controller around it makes for a fun and chill game to just play while you're hanging out
BTW...Walter Ray Williams Jr is widely considered the GOAT of pro bowling. I think dude is still active today on the seniors tour. He's also an s-tier horseshoes player, so that's an interesting combo.
Yeah he is solid. Watched him win so much back then on TV. My dad was a fan of Earl Anthony the frozen rope man, always solid and consistent just watch old vids. I was taught that way but Walter and also people like Mark Roth were just wild and fun to watch rip through the ball.
I love the art style for Super Bowling! It's like a Japanese cutesy take on American comic strip cartoons like Archie and Blondie! I'm pretty sure that was what they were going for since Bowling is a very American sport and pastime.
Oh man, I knew it looked sonewhat familiar- that is totally the "Dan DeCarlo" Archie style with slight anime-stylings! Now I'm hoping it'll get to the NSO as well so I can experience it... because while I COULD play it anyway I can doing so would require effort.
That golf-style power meter dates back to 10th Frame on 8-bit computers, made by the Access team who also did Leaderboard Golf and Links. Super Bowling looks like fun, and the imaginary Super Lebowski would rock. Tiertex were a UK company, known for a lot of poor arcade conversion on Commodore 64 and Amiga. Brunswick World looks solid if not spectacular. Great video.
It's pretty common in basically all video game bowling systems that don't use motion controls that I've seen at this point. The bowling mini-games that Sega has used in Monkey Ball, Yakuza, and other video games, for example, seem to basically use the same system.
I immediately wanted to say that you were forgetting Nester's Funky Bowling because I remember reading about it in Nintendo Power, but then I remembered that that was one of the few benighted Virtual Boy games. Poor, poor Nester. He finally got a game of his own, but it was not only just a bowling game, but it was on the biggest mistake Nintendo ever made.
@@surrealbrain4227 I'm not saying that Nintendo isn't known to surprised but that one would be truly shocking. It hasn't had a new one since the launch of the 3DS more than a decade ago. Also it tends to be about showcasing some kind of tech more than anything.
I remember playing these games with my avid, disabled bowling friend. He couldn't make it to the lanes in real life but we had a blast and would play Super Bowling all night long.
I have played this game since it came out in 1992. It is one of my favorite snes games to play as it is relaxing. Easy strikes tip: choose Pete as your bowler, select 16 lbs. As your ball weight. Select normal mode. Select 1/2 length oil. When the game starts, move Pete all the way to the right. Next, use the L button to set the red aim arrow all the to the left. Then comes the A button taps, you want the ball to stop full left on the spin and with the bars fully apart on the power. (Max left spin + max power) if you did it right, you should get a strike every time. I have gotten many 300 games abusing this method.
Sample character quotes from Super Lebowski: Dude: Strike: "The Dude abides" Gutter: "This aggresion will not stand, man" Walter: Strike: "If you will it, dude, it is no dream" Gutter: "You're entering a world of pain" Donny: Strike: "I'm throwing rocks tonight" Gutter: "I am the walrus?" Jesus: Strike: "Nobody ****s with the Jesus!" Gutter: "Dios mío, man"
hitting L and R on controller in super bowling you can adjust your aim down at the pins further, it moves the orange arrow above the pins... as well you can move around while adjusting spin and power if you want to do a last minute adjust.
These two titles cover the sport really well. One is arcady like League Bowling for NEO-Geo and the other is a touch more sim and serious. The PC version of Brunswick Bowling a few years later is excellent!
Kirby had a full on bowling game but its in japanese and i remember having to clip the plastic bits on my snes to play it. I had a japanese friend. Maybe it wasnt Kirby but there was cute Japanese bowling games
One of the things that made me love your channel were your random references and listening you talking about The Big Lebowski was great. Keep on going!
This video made me check who started at point for the Sonics in 1981. In case you're curious, it was Gus Williams, a mostly forgotten but actually solid baller .
Super Bowling on SNES was awesome! I logged way too many hours with my cousin playing that game. We were always messing around trying to do trick shots and even figured out a foolproof technique to always bowl a 300. Looking back it was a very simple game, but in those days that worked.
Suggesting Big Lebowski makes me want a Kingpin version. It could have Randy Quaid, Bill Murray with his rose bowling ball, and Woody Harrelson before and after losing his hand. Or instead of a second Woody Harrelson, it could just have The Bowler from Mystery Men, complete with her father's skull inside the bowling ball.
Nice reviews! I never played Super Bowling, but it looks fun. It actually reminds me of "League Bowling" on the Neo Geo, which is one of my favorites. I had no idea Super Bowling 64 even existed, though! I always kind of wanted a full "Mario Bowling" game. I know there were Mario Party bowling mini-games, but it would be awesome to see the Mario cast bowl with like wacky power-ups and lanes.
I had so much fun with super bowling as a kid, you didn’t mention the multiplayer, best part of the game, me my brother and cousins used to play this together, I don’t remember how many players could be set in multiplayer mode, 6 or 8? you just pass the controller to the next player each turn , so much fun, I haven’t add this game to my collection yet 😢
Hmmm... it's like you said: golf mode does sound fun. This is gonna sound harsh towards bowling, but in all sincerity you would need to mix in external and fantasy elements to keep things interesting for more than a round or two. Golf has many different hole layouts that feature water hazards, trees, sand traps, wind, weather, rough, fairways, hills, pits, and out-of-bounds areas, different types of clubs, golfers, and maybe closest to the pin & longest drive contests, too. There are also greens that have terrain that is crazy enough to feel like mini-golf, and the different distances to the pin allow for different stroke counts for making par. Bowling always has the same lane with 10 pins at the end. Your variance is limited to ball types, oiliness, pin weight, and bowlers' attributes without adding external elements (though I guess black light bowling and decorations can help change things up a little). The fun factor for bowling is almost entirely based on competing with opponents and friends. I'd say the golf games should have bowling mini games, if anything. (I apologize for the rant, but I am in the middle of a quest to get one million dollars in NES Open and I still actively enjoy playing my daily tournament rounds)
I'm pretty sure there are mini games inside other games that have bowling on It that weren't covered. I mean even the Flinstones for Sega Master System. The bowling stage was much funnier than the game itself
I was a big fan of Super Bowling as a kid. We rented it a number of times from the local store. Great looking game, easy to understand and just plain fun.
I played a ton of Brunswick Pro Bowling 2 on the PlayStation. It has a pretty extensive Career mode which is nice if you are a Bowling Simulation purist. I had to stop playing after going strike for strike in a tournament match against an AI opponent. I finished with 299, they finished with 300. I don't believe it has rubber-band mechanics as I've also had matches where I played poorly and the AI somehow played worse, but there was no moving forward after a near perfect game and still losing. Super Bowling is fun for what it is.
I think i remember being able to cheese strikes every throw in Super Bowling. Aim all the way to the left, max spin to the right, go for power, strike everytime
If Super Bowling were an indie game made today that chicken would never stop spouting off 2005-era Adult Swim non-sequitors and it'd STILL somehow be a love letter to Metroidvanias.
Honestly Super bowling sounds like it might be almost as fun as when I used to play Wii sports bowling with my friends and family back when that was new. Heck actually when the Wii U came out we stopped playing Wii U to play some Wii sports bowling because it was still fun and honestly you would still be fun to this day but I haven't actually had my Wii and my possession for quite some time I think it's in my storage unit. This is coming from somebody who grew up in the SNES and N64 era but it's just awesome to see that the SNES actually had a bowling game like Super bowling
Recently got myself a Nintendo Power that actually has a Super Bowling review (volume 40, has Felix the Cat on the cover) so it was interesting hearing your take in it. It spans over 4 pages and gives you plenty of how to strategy
My best friends dad had super bowling when it was new. It was such a good game that we played it too. It didn't take us long though to figure out how to throw a strike every time. I honestly don't remember if we ever played the golf mode though. I'll have to check this out again.
The only bowling game I play kind of frequently is the bowling mini game on super monkeyball 2, it's great and it actually looks kind of similar on gameplay to super bowling, so I might give it a try if I find it for cheap in the wild.
Super bowling looks like the kind of game you'd rent as a one off, and wind up renting again a week later because you just KNEW you almost mastered it. And then later at a party or sleepover you wind up bringing it because it's a fun multiplayer game.
Super Monkey Ball 2 for the Nintendo Gamecube was another good fun bowling game that played very similar to Super Bowling for the SNES, just with better graphics.
I don't remember a bowling game on SNES when I was a kid, but that was probably a good thing because going to the bowling alley with friends and families always made for a good time back in the day... I am too young to feel this old haha
Super Bowling is cute and charming but after I found an easy way to throw strikes every single time it got boring fast unfortunately. I wish it was that easy IRL.
Super Bowling really reminds me of League Bowling for the Neo Geo. Very fun game as well especially with 2 player. Fightcades a nice option to run it these days for anyone that might be into arcade like bowling games. Fun little vid, thanks. Edit: Oops others suggested it as well but still highly suggest giving it a whirl!
I remember renting super bowling as a kid a few times. Fun game, but I stopped playing it after getting 3 straight 300 games. Once you figure it out, that's it.

Wow! The ratio of bowling games on the Virtual Boy was MUCH higher than on the SNES.😂 I would have guessed more than two bowling games on the SNES
I know, I would have expected at least 3. Wth
There’s got to be an obscure Super Famicom bowling game out there somewhere.
I think that was the first game, no?
We need a bowling game featuring Peter Weber and his famous "WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? I AM!!" line.

Miss those days

I don't see how Bowling is American. It's thousands of years old and popular all around the world. It's especially popular in Japan.
Man you’re one of my favorite channels. So relaxed and no bs. Keep it up!
There's some bs.

'Is this your homework Larry?'
I remember renting Super Bowling back in the day & being quite pleasantly surprised.
My family had both of these as a kid, little did I know I possessed the entirety of the sport in the SNES library
Honestly surprised there weren't more bowling games. It seems like such an easy bargain game.
I'm pretty sure there are mini games inside other games that have bowling on It that weren't covered. I mean even the Flinstones for Sega Master System. The bowling stage was much funnier than the game itself

Japan: Lets make a fun, somewhat goofy, nice looking game about bowling!
The West: How can we make this as bona dry as humanly possible?
Especially with older games, nothing kills the fun faster than realism.
If I’m playing a bowling or golf game, I prefer it to be fun and wacky.
First game kinda looks like League Bowling on the Neo Geo, thumbs up
I appreciate the work you put into this video, well done.
Also, oily balls. Nice.
Super Bowling looks very fun. It has that Super Punch Out look to it. With its cartoony and colourful graphics.

Super Bowling reminds me of another bowling game for the arcade, Bowling League I think it's called, for Neo Geo arcade cabinets
"Who do you think you are?!?!? I AM!!!!'
Super Bowling is cute and charming but after I found an easy way to throw strikes every single time it got boring fast unfortunately. I wish it was that easy IRL.
Brunswick world as a park would have a 5 drink minimum and all the sidewalk gutters would be full of cigarette butts.
Looks like I'm going to grab a Super Bowling cart for my SNES. I love me some video bowling. Love League Bowling for the Neo Geo!

I actually bought Brunswick championship bowling for the n64, haven’t tried it yet though
My grandfather was a serious bowler, so he recognized the names from Brunswick World when he saw me playing it.
Best 16bit bowling is Tiny Tunes ACME All-Stars on Genesis!
Rented this one several times! (Super Bowling)
I remember renting super bowling as a kid a few times. Fun game, but I stopped playing it after getting 3 straight 300 games. Once you figure it out, that's it.
Amazing how much better super bowling aged than the N64 version.
I’d go for a version based on Kingpin. So I can play with Big Ernie McCracken
Hell yeah!
I love Super Bowling, and my buddy has (I think he still has it?) the world record for the fastest 300 in the Turkey Bowl mode!
