10 fun SNES games to buy when you're kinda broke

You might see these games often in the cheap bin at video game stores or conventions, but it doesn't mean they're terrible. Here are some pretty fun games to pay that sell for between $5 - $15 (as of recording this video, though I don't see them going up in price any time soon)

NES games to buy when you're kinda broke - kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3_SZ4CortZ6obM

[@egpmh2891]

any Looney Tunes, Tiny Toons, Disney, and Nickelodeon game was fun and cheap; brings back memories of beign a90s kid for sure

[@egpmh2891]

The Scooby Doo game was good but the PS2 Scooby Doo games I thought was better

[@geoffreybrooks6041]

If anything, you're under-rating Buster Busts Loose. It holds up incredibly well, really captures the source material, has some interesting variations in the platforming (like the football level), and fun bonus elements. I love this game to this day.

[@JohnRiggs]

love that one.

[@26.2MilesOutsidePartsUnknown]

I'm so glad I bought the retro games I wanted in the early 2000's and 2010's even buying manuals back then. Now I look at all the ridiculous prices today.

[@thomasberry4486]

I loved it how Konami would do two different versions of the same game for the SNES and Mega Drive. Tiny Toons Adventures for both systems was awesome. I feel stating the game is ‘not bad’ is underselling it a little.

[@SNEStalgia]

Great video! I've never heard of some of these games, I will definitely have to check them out. I love smartball, I used to rent it all the time as a kid.

[@themailman3331]

I have a wife, a daughter and a mortgage, I’m constantly broke. I’m never not broke.

[@dwightdixon8508]

Your capture abilities are so solid and show each game exactly how I remember them looking back in the 90’s. I mean super sharp, no pixelization or jaggies at all. Excellent work John

[@JohnRiggs]

I just use a capture device, but thanks!

[@thatwasprettyneat]

@@JohnRiggs Well you're doing something right because some people put up game footage and it looks really nasty for some reason.

[@rschmidt9495]

Riggs always comin thru with all the hidden cheap-but-good games. Gotta love it.

[@whome638]

I played a ton of that Tiny Toons game back in the day. Seeing this made me want to break it out and play it again.

[@jacobwebb2623]

Great review, I always liked the music on "Wolf child."

[@gamingbolo]

Great video John as always. I bought cheap Baseball Simulator 1000 , super good fun baseball game from SNES

[@trapbartedlifts6038]

Nice choices. Back in the day i bought Hyperzone and Tiny Tu es at the old K B Toys in the mall for $10 brand new.

[@aldoushuxleysghost]

I'm always kinda broke these days. Thanks for making this list

[@plaztik767]

Same

[@NES_Wizard]

Me too

[@Shannonbarnesdr1]

heh, yeah brother, the struggle is real dudes.

[@hugops17]

Use an emulator!🤦🏻‍♂️🤣

[@robertday5243]

Thank you for this list John. Very informative

[@IntoTheMindlessAbyss]

Useful guide. Hyper Zone is an underrated gem. I'm in my 30's and didn't knew the game existed until last year.

[@awetistic5295]

The fact that it looks like F-Zero is even more of a reason to check it out.

[@BrandonTheAnimeGuy]

I owned Vortex back in the day. It had a wicked 90s techno like soundtrack.

[@the_kombinator]

I noticed that. Now I just need to get a SNES. And, uh, the game.

[@darthboxOriginal]

It's got a fantastic soundtrack! It's a pretty cool game

[@chadfugate564]

wolfchild is a fun game. Sega CD version is the way to go but the SNES version is fun

[@ThomasSmith-od5jq]

Zoop is very underrated i still come back it I love wolfchild

[@timboyle7085]

My folks bought me Revolution X because I was a big Aerosmith fans (70s-80s era). Surprisingly it was a fun game. And at the time I thought the music was one of better recreations of actual audio at the time.

[@mcbaby]

Solid list Riggsy.

[@retro_anime_gamer_8716]

I just picked up scooby soo on the snes at a yard sale back in the summer, fun cheap stuff I have loved every Tiny Toons Adventures game I’ve ever played

[@TheMountainDemon]

So glad you mentioned Tuff E Nuff. Silly name but a really strong fighter. Dark story to it as well.

[@nez4697]

You are amazing John all respect to you my man. I appreciate your passion for video games. How about some ps1 games list or Sega Dreamcast. I would like to see your thoughts and your experience.

[@jcdoors1978]

Holy hell I forgot all about Wolfchild….wow, major flashback

[@jcdoors1978]

Flashback is an awesome game too Just throwing that out there

[@RDJ134]

Good fun titels. Totaly forgot Wolf Child and thanks for that reminder :)

[@Boss-Bot]

Uh oh there goes the price of Scooby-Doo

[@JohnRiggs]

pssh, no time soon.

[@oneinchbiceps]

Nice list!

[@richardjames14]

Oh man, Super Nintendo is my absolute fav, love it when you do a snes video!!!👍👍👍

[@plaztik767]

This is a solid list 👍🏻

[@cherokeefit4248]

Gradius 3, final fight 1, pilot wings, f zero, rival turf, bat man returns, and a few other games that are dirt cheap. d force isn’t that bad either and that game is basically free lol

[@popculturehero]

Love Vortex. That crazy mode 7 mech game I think it's cheap since the label gives nothing away you just got to know.

[@matthewjohnson1891]

Smartball is great. I bought the sfc version called jerry boy and there is no run without shooting. Makes a big difference. Id like to get the u.s. version for that. Really fun game

[@retrojoe85]

Never heard of WildSnake, what a weird concept for a puzzle game! As a suggestion among the cheapest games, I would add also "Spectre", a bizarre 3-D Battletank into a Virtual Reality that today we can call Vaporwave! One of my favourite hidden gems on the Super Nintendo.

[@JohnRiggs]

Spectre was cool. I'll have to revisit soon.

[@atariadam3141]

Ebay tells me that the Australian version of Porky Pig is exceptionally expensive! The more you know... haha thanks for a great video

[@JohnRiggs]

oh weird! Well, I've found it pretty cheap around here.

[@atariadam3141]

@@JohnRiggs yeah it surprised me too! Looks like a beautiful game though!

[@retrogamer8085]

hey mr big rig.. u ever cover the nintendo "black box" games? i always like to see retro channels cover those as they were pretty good, many of them, when the NES first debuted in 1985 in north america. as for the video today, that scooby doo game looked and sounded pretty good. never knew it existed. im a scooby fan, at least of the 1970s original episodes. i wasnt a tiny toon cartoon fan, but the game looks good. its konami, of course it looks good lol. wolf child looks good, too. it has an awesome soundtrack on the sega cd version.

[@joeydemitro8976]

THAT IS VERY AWESOME TOO MY FRIEND

[@Aenima308]

I love D-Force and always have. The soundtrack is so good

[@JohnRiggs]

very nostalic for the soundtrack.

[@knockerkrazy2957]

Animaniacs, in my opinion, is the best SNES game under $10. One that’s worth checking out for sure!

[@MrShadow2x]

Solid game! The Genesis version is also affordable and quite good, though it's very different; bit more puzzle platformer than the SNES game.

[@mark6302]

I loved Hyperzone. I think it was a launch title? I'm surprised it isn't worth more if that was the case. I can't remember being 30ish years later xD

[@RealziesCuts]

SNES 4 Life 🎮🥇 Thank you for this

[@xyz-ns7ym]

Oh god not zoop lol Edit: D-Force 🤣

[@forcedfeedbackclassicgamer5499]

LOVE Hyperzone. One of my favorite SNES games. Worth noting it's a HAL Laboratories game, pretty sure Hotaru Iwata was involved in its development. Wolfchild was way better on Genesis, actually. The SNES port is dumbed down and too cartoony looking for some reason.

[@broncosbreaks]

I’m glad I’m a fan of retro sports titles. As you mentioned, suuuuuper cheap!

[@janthoregrefstad251]

Wow . Zoop looks like a master system game, with the graphics and colors. I would love to soen hours on this as a child

[@fallback1935]

Ya, Wolfchild looks interesting!

[@ricktifferpowers1762]

I had porky pig on snes, I always remember it being super hard!

[@PeterParker-vq2cz]

wolfchilds title screen looks like he-man and ingame character looks like star treks khan :P

[@cliffjumper1984]

the Wolfchild gamegrumps episode...lol

[@eddieroy8037]

I remember playing hey punk are you tough enough? And I always thought the game felt easier on hard mode. I don’t know if that was just me or not.

[@brettdulaney299]

I got vortex complete in box..... yay

[@DiceWatari]

Hell yeah, Wolfchild! That game has no right being as awesome as it is.

[@jarredkrum9894]

I use to have vortex but got stolen. I need that again

[@erockbrox8484]

I bought a SD2SNES so I can play everything pretty much.

[@chrissabbath4551]

i'd also add tom and jerry to this list. super fun platformer and cheap in price.

[@mjdf122]

So many cheap great games for every console

[@rayzaramon6598]

That D-Force game looks straight 8bit. Music sounds good.

[@MrShadow2x]

The music is catchy, but that's about the only thing the game has going for it. It's boring, you never really feel like your copter gets any stronger, even at max power.

[@miguelleandri2435]

Tiny Toons, its was not a Bad game🤔👌 The Star Fox./Mecha game, Look pretty cool 🤖👽🚀

[@seansmith472]

Thanks for the list I have all of these games on my emulator

[@williamw2529]

* adds more to list *

[@joshnewman6667]

Are you going to be in wisconsin in april for the convention

[@JohnRiggs]

Midwest Gaming Classic! I'll be there.

[@MisterKidd555]

Lol, "D Force"

[@ServJesus7]

Man snes games are EXPENSIVE right now!

[@brettrudy2245]

It's funny how people have different opinions and tastes. @SegaLordX just did a video where he said Vortex was one of his least favorite SNES games. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

[@tonyp9313]

If you're broke, you shouldn't be buying any video games. I like the games you showed in this vid.

[@ukaszb.9675]

serious question... why d-force is conisdered a no-no?

[@JohnRiggs]

People say "D" for another 4-letter word.

[@ReaperCore15]

Tuff e Nuff, already 100 € on ebay... the ridiculous prices of retrogaming..

[@jaysea5804]

Uh hello drakkhen & lagoon

[@dbzfanatic278]

Just got legend of zelda a link to the past for only 25 dollars.

[@gtaforlife]

you don't have to buy old video games you can emulator any games

[@far2d28]

Hyper zone is like f zero space harrier

[@NotoriousALX13]

Download from from the internet

[@LordSnoodles]

If you in fact have no money you don't buy SNES games, you download the ROMs for free and play them on a computer.

[@slyceth]

Wait, your hat ISN'T part of your head?

[@joshoshea3194]

Sega Lord just said that Vortex was one of the worst games? Actually it might've been SNES Drunk? Either way I just guess that everyone has different opinions. Anyway as always thanks for the video 👍

[@noemedmedia]

SNES9X and ****** romsets!

[@Shannonbarnesdr1]

whats wrong with ''d-force'' as a name? i dont understand why they could not name a game that these days, that makes no sense,

[@JohnRiggs]

The D

[@GF_MF]

I feel that 99% of the people who are broke would rather turn to emulation to play better games to be fair.

[@henrybodnar4051]

Kinda broke. Pay your bills. 😉

[@clemire83]

**Games that are no longer cheap

[@bimmyfrizzo3988]

Or you can get em for free on emulators! 😅

[@jimmyraconteur2522]

why would you buy video games if you are broke? Isnt that what's wrong with the USA?

[@CarbonatedTurtle]

I get the point of the video, but nobody should be buying SNES games if they're broke. :D

[@oscarjarzmik8453]

D-Force isn't even worth a dollar. Don't bother.

[@Xcalibur2679]

Or you could just hack an NES/SNES classic mini and put every single game on their for free 😂

[@lowmazda626]

snakes. i hate snakes
