Nostalgia Critic on KZbin usually reviews movies, but he only reviewed one game, Bebes Kids; worth a watch for a laugh. Worst game on SNES has to be “Vortex”, look it up. It had good music tho.

[@corrosivecabal]

No. Also Populous.

[@crosswalkX]

What about other worst SNES games including Roadrunner Death Valley Rally, J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, Vol. I, I personally didn't like Super Ghouls and Ghosts since I didn't like losing control of Arthur and how easy it is for him to get killed by enemies and miss jumps, also you forgot Wizard of Oz SNES, and Lester the Unlikely SNES and how about Shaq Fu SNES.

To think, I was at a Kay-bee toy store and had 3 games in my hands to choose from. In my hands I had F-Zero, Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and Pit-Fighter. I remember so vividly my dad telling me, "that fighting game looks cool". I never listened to my parents again. 🤦‍♂️🙇‍♂️🤷‍♂️

I have a son he's a freshman in high school, and he's always asking me questions about how it was like growing up in the 90s and he tells me how lucky I was to grow up in that era of amazing video games and music. And he loves asking me questions like what game were you playing when you first started high School, or what music were you listening to in 7th grade. I love answering his questions and sharing all my experience with him. To be a kid when the SNES came out I was about 11 or 12 was just a magical time.

I played Race Drivin' in my cousin's snes. Never managed to even complete a half lap 🤣 This brought me memories!

[@julaizaya7946]

I love your "bad games" series this is so cool ^^

[@saxxguy84]

I bought Race Drivin' on sale from a rental store not knowing how horrible it would end up being. I was aware of the arcade and the pictures on the box looked pretty faithful to me. It ended up being one of those situations where you make the best of it. I was pretty bummed, but my cousin got to laughing so hard at some of the ridiculous instant replays that we quickly realized the real fun in the game was trying to crash as spectacularly as possible. As crappy as that game is, I still have fond memories of it because of that.

[@400Porter]

I swear Pit Fighter changed my life. I was babysitting and saved up money to buy this game. I remember it cost me 90$ it was 1991. The disappointment of this game had made me see marketing as a scam. From that point on I never saw adds the same...my little mind yelled there all lies

[@the-NightStar]

WWE '13 was better than ANY of the games 2K has made, since. Also, THQ made Stimpy's Invention on Sega Genesis. As a Ren and Stimpy fan, I thought all the other games they made with the licence were crap, but at least they made that ONE game that turned out decent.

[@TBtheking405216]

Although the game is horrible, BeBes Kids is a legendary animated movie. Robin Harris(RIP) was a comedic genius that was taken away from us too soon

[@NcWcN1]

The Race Drivin' stunt track surely does bring memories... but of Stunts on DOS. One of the house's first computers had it.

[@wild1234]

That was my first thought as well. Looks so much like Stunts... but bad... I still play Stunts a little now and then, it's a fun game.

[@stphinkle]

Race Drivin on the SNES was a stretch. Part of the problem is that the SNES hardware (Single 5A22 [65C816 Derivative] processor plus SPC700 Sound Chip) was no match when compared to the Race Drivin Arcade hardware. The Arcade Version of Race Drivin used 6 CPUs plus a Math ASIC. These included a TMS34010, a 68010, an ADSP-2101, a DSP32C, a 68000, and a TMS32010. I think a better SNES port of Race Drivin would have been to use the Super FX chip similar to what Star Fox used.

[@Gosti85]

For me, the worst game on the SNES is last action hero. Haven't really played it for long, but it burned into my mind that when you power on the console your instantly on the title screen like we had on the NES, no publisher intro or anything, and the title screen itself was just a picture, no menu or anything. Pressing a button throws you right into the first level, where you basically have to punch through an enemy, having a punch and kick in your arsenal, that's it^^

[@tommylakindasorta3068]

I can't remember buying any Super Nintendo games that I thought were awful. I think I was more careful about what I bought after getting burned on bad Genesis games like Sword of Sodan. That turd gave me PTSD.

[@jasonking4146]

The worst of the worst snes game for me has to be Populous. It may not technically be all that bad, but as a young preteen I made the huge mistake of trading in my nes and all my games. I had just enough money to get a snes and the cheapest game they had. Got home all excited only to cry at how lame the game was. Took me a month to get another game.

[@MateDrinker33]

I remember seeing that one covered in the Official SNES Player's Guide, lmfao! I never played it personally, but from what I've seen, that game suffered really badly from lack of mouse support (which didn't exist for any SNES game until after Mario Paint was released). If that game came out way later during the SNES' original lifespan, it probably wouldn't have been that bad.

[@robertholt3909]

Man that trolls game kills me. Their face always stares at u even when going dwn ladders. Creepy. Awesome episode Mr immortal

[@mattb9664]

These games look like examples of types where more resources were put into graphics and less resources were put into the actual gameplay or quality simply because they thought it wouldn't be important.

[@Show_My_Name_Not_My_Handle]

Holy shit, that Trolls game looks 100% like low-end DOS shareware. The colour-changing, bouncing text, the weird disproportionate graphics, the wavy-warping background, the kinda janky sound-effects, the smooth but also not smooth animation of the character... I looked it up, and I am genuinely shocked it wasn't a port, and was a SNES original. What the hell? This is a game you'd see from someone who'd been making games in their basement since they were 10, and just turned 14, not a full-on release for a console. I can't wrap my head around it.

[@AmyraCarter]

DOS, or Windows 95/98 shovelware, lolz

[@gustavocoimbra2398]

I was expecting to see The Rocketeer, but yeah, none of those are anywhere near the concept of a good game. Pit Fighter was a rage inducing game.

[@ZEKESPILLEDINKMUSIC]

Bombuzal/Ka-Blooey should be on this list, because the game is atrocious. It is a puzzle game that uses an isometric perspective, but the controls are inverted so that it is difficult to tell where to go without falling off the surface. Add to that the fact that the level music never, ever changes, and this game becomes an awful experience. The Super Famicom version is a little more forgiving (but not by much) because it offers a 2D mode. Still, I am baffled as to why Bombuzal/Ka-Blooey was even included on Nintendo Switch Online. Once you play that game, you'll understand why.

[@ComboNation8]

I remember playing Pit Fighter in the arcade. I thought the controls were a bit clunky but I was hoping it was the return of Atari and a challenger to Mortal Kombat. I always get a little pain in my stomach when I hear the SNES version sucks.

Race Drivin' was awesome in the arcade. And absolutely atrocious on SNES (which not even the SA-1 hack saves). I'd have to give an honorable mention to Road Riot 4WD, also an unplayable mess with its single-digit framerates. And most everything published by THQ in that era.

Pit Fighter was such bad port (of an already bad Arcade), but even Pit Fighter is not as bad as Shaq Fu, that one would be my pick for worst fighting game for the SNES. Another game game that I can't wrap my head around on how it turned out so bad was Alien VS Predator. It's ugly, clunky and the sound effects are some of the worst I've ever experienced in the SNES.

[@StormsparkPegasus]

I consider it a blessing that they don't have rap and hip hop in that game. That crap is ear bleedingly awful. Of course, that still doesn't mean the game is good, it still looks awful.

The moving titles in the Trolls game immediately made me think of this being an Amiga port. Then the game played and reminded me of Mr Blobby in the UK on the Amiga and checked the gameplay and is clearly the same game with the main sprite changed. Not sure which came first.

Believe it or not, the Trolls game came first

[@jessragan6714]

Race Drivin' desperately needed a DSP chip for it to work on the Super NES. It didn't, so it doesn't. Someone recently hacked it to work with a co-processor, and it's much more playable that way. (Fun fact: Race Drivin' was programmed by John Van Ryzin of HERO fame! Apparently those talents didn't make the jump from Atari to Nintendo.)

as a kid, i didn't have much access to snes games, maybe like 30 games tops, and most were amazing, but 3 games hit my shit list : 1- race driving, it was just fun seeing 3d polygons the first 5 minutes and that was it. 2- Bombuzal , it was just a good game that had no need to be on snes and it was a sad weekend renting it. 3- wings , ok, the mode 7 is cool, but the game was nothing, same missions, same feel, so boring, the manual even had a cheat code to make u get a radar so u can even know what u are doing. those were the worst games i ever played on snes, and thank god for that, they were not bad games, just tbe worst i played. but 1 game, most people call bad and i loved. XARDION, this game was something else, an insane good game that no one understood, amazing story, very dark and grim, one of the first game where i had to deal with a hero death and a bad ending that really made u think about it and wht did u do and who is the bad guy in all this....that ending music and cinematic was touching to the soul.

I've played almost the entire SNES library, and after growing up with such great memories of the console, I was amazed to learn that only about 100 of the 700+ games are actually worth playing. That's 600 games that are anywhere from "meh" to garbage!

[@TheBlackSeraph]

All things considered, a 1:7 or 1:8 ratio isn't that bad. The PS2 and NDS have over 2,000 title EACH (NA numbers, not sure of PAL or JP), but both of those systems contain so much shovelware that I would be surprised if either could reach a comparable ratio despite their outstanding hits.

[@TheCommentNinja81]

Only 100 are worth playing? Define worth playing because I do not grasp the fact that there no more than 100 games on the SNES that can be fun. With the right expectation, company, good will, mood and time, you could add at least 100 more games. Because of my knowledge I do include Super Famicom games too. Like Jordan Peterson would say if he would be a gamer: "Play more."

Super Mario WAR HOL. Okay, it's just a dumb meme. Still, it only takes about four, five minutes of play before it lags so bad that it becomes unplayable. Nope, no thanks.

The pictures on the box for race drivin had the same frame rate as the game. One of the only times I ever returned a game as broken and got my money back with no questions asked.

Hard Drivin and Race Drivin is only worth playing the actual arcade versions.

Pit Fighter as well.

Timecop, Drakkhen to name a few more. Good list, very entertaining!

crazy how Super Mario World wasn’t finished when it was released. i hope someone releases the complete game for free via homebrew. i’d like to play it.
