The lack of walkthroughs and limited access to help is something that people really don't understand about playing these old games. I remember playing some of these games for hours just trying to figure out what I needed to do next. That sense of accomplishment when you finally figured it out was amazing.

I never thought about this aspect, but damn...you are 100% right! Just like movie trailers in recent years giving away the entire freaking movie, as opposed to old school movie trailers giving you about 10 seconds. It's the same thing. You don't get really any surprises anymore because everything is given to you before the games even freaking come out now.

Man, the Super Nintendo was my sweet spot 1991-1995 age 11-15. My favorite system and why I love all the retro games coming out these days in that HD SNES style. Was the golden age of gaming for myself and I really love the music chip the SNES had. The soundtracks in those SNES games still rank as some of the best music in video games. Compare the music in Chrono Trigger to Dragon Quest 11, it’s not even close. The Final Fantasy Prelude from IV and VI on that SNES chip are the best versions of it. I don’t think I could do a top 10 list it would have to be 20. Not only do a lot of these games still hold up as some of the greats of all time, when some of these were released they were mind blowing games that we hadn’t even seen before on top of being excellent. Great video. Fun Story... I got stuck on that wall jump segment where it is first introduced to you and ripped up my Super Metroid box is a serious rage quit moment before I was able to get out of that damn hole 😂.

This list is pretty typical(nothing wrong with that) and it demonstrates the main problem I have with the SNES. Many games that are generally considered to be the best on the system are games I don't like. Super Mario World is great. But I'm not a big RPG guy. I don't love Zelda and Super Metroid like others do. I don't like Contra 3. I don't like Axelay. I don't like Super Ghouls n Ghosts. I don't like Castlevania 4(I love 1 and 3 on NES, Rondo on PCE, and Bloodlines on Genesis). I'm not complaining about the games you chose -- your list is your own -- just pointing out a problem I have unique to the SNES. I do like some SNES games, just stuff thats not as popular and some imports. Ninja Warriors, which got an honorable mention, is probably my favorite. Thanks for sharing.

@@dschult3 I was. I started to second guess things later in 1994 when I decided to get the SNES. I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would, but I did like it and got to play a bunch of cool games for it between what I had, friends, and rentals. I mentioned Contra 3 and it's the mode 7 that kills the game for me. Some games I did like didn't hold up over time for me. I agree with your conclusion as it was a real treat visiting friends and getting to play some good games on a system you didn't have.

Man, when I modded my SNES Classic, I added games I found in these types of videos. "Must haves" for the SNES, and I found myself in the same shoes.... I didnt like 90% of them. Most of the games that are exalted by popular opinion are just overrated. I think part of it may be because they aren't nostalgic to us? Either way, yeah...I had to sift through a lot of titles to find what I wanted.

Anyone who was an RPG fan back then remembers how special and amazing FF6 was. Squaresoft really captured a moment in time with that game.

Thanks for the great info. I really enjoy your enthusiasm and excellent stories. My best game I played for many many hours was Rock ‘n Roll Racing with my game playing buddy.

I share a lot of similar titles in my top ten, but my all-time favorite game on the console was Zombies Ate My Neighbors. Sure, it was also a Genesis title, but my cousin and I would play the shit out of ZAMN on SNES. It is, in my opinion, possibly one of the greatest co-op experiences on consoles. I love you Johnny! You and Rob have kept me company for years, and I love listening to your videos when I play my games. The only KZbinr that I watch and look forward to new content from.

Great video. The SNES was my childhood it’s so nostalgic for me. Super Mario world, Donkey Kong country and Aladdin were the first games I ever played

1:21 i LOVE those aesthetics! I have to play this. I had a set of those small rubber ninja guys you could get in a package, and they all had that exaggerated sprite art. Still my favorite style for games. Most people prefer realism, i like the more exaggerated and stylized stuff.

Man, what a wonderful video and what a wonderful channel! Your passion for video games and nostalgia are amazing. I'm from 96, so i'm only played snes games on emulators, but still, i became a huge fan. Snes and Ps2 are the best consoles for me, no doubt about that (ps4 has a amazing library too). Maaan, ff6 world map themes, holy cow, the dark world theme...My top ten snes games is: 10-Mega Man X 9-Super Mario Rpg 8-Final Fantasy IV 7-Yoshi's Island (SMW2) 6-Donkey Kong Country 2 5-Super Metroid 4-Super Mario World 3-Final Fantasy VI 2-Zelda: a link to the past 1-Chrono Trigger

The timing of this video lol yesterday me and my husband started our snes/nes collection. Picked up Super Street Fighter II Turbo and then my brother gave me our old copy of Maximum Carnage that we used to have as kids ;u; He also had a nes game? (Time Lords ) I don't even remember owning a nes... I really regret not hanging on to the rest of our snes games. We had super mario, a link to the past and a handful of others. Gonna be hard building the collection up since we are starting so late. Great video Johnny!
