[@fidelsolis6070]

I like multiplayer games lile bomberman and Peacekeepers on snes or Slammasters.

[@aaronmartinez5029]

Out of all consoles I have owned, I bought a SNES a few months ago & I’m blown away with how many great games it has. Arguably my favorite game system.

[@RetroBirdGaming]

Yeah, it just has so many top tier games.

[@theconsolecollector]

Happy to be a part of another video with you again. The SNES is an amazing console. Love your wacky faces always make me chuckle! 2:24 Great video as always man. Another tip for everyone, try Smartball for the snes! Its a great hidden gem.

[@RetroBirdGaming]

I think I remember you mentioning Smartball before. Such a unique game!

[@mattb6522]

Smartball is definitely a hidden gem, yeah! I've heard that the Japanese version "Jerry Boy" actually is even better as a lot of story content was cut when it was localized.

[@NESADDICT]

Probably honestly the best of all time.

[@RetroBirdGaming]

Yeah, I ask myself that question a lot and this is usually my answer.

[@NESADDICT]

Retro Bird now I need to check all my consoles to see if they are 1 chips or not

[@RetroBirdGaming]

@@NESADDICT Haha I had a feeling some people would do that!

[@JGRICH61]

I can’t argue with that.

[@crispitycrunchy]

One thing I’m really happy about with my SNES is that I found it nearly complete-in-box for around $170. The seller, a guy who runs a retro game store I visit regularly, said he lowered the price because it was missing a few things. All that was missing was one of two controllers and a manual. The console, cords, and a copy of Super Mario World were all in the box. On top of it all, the box was in great condition! Definitely one of my favorite parts of my collection so far.

[@erneststackhouse1133]

Didn't know how easy it was to make Super Famicom games work on a SNES!!! Just want to thank you as your bird seeds lead to a game I didn't know about Castlevania: Dracula X on the SNES. Been really enjoying playing that game on my SNES! I remember my SEGA buddy saying, "So dumb it jumped from Part 4 to Part 10!" back in the day. That statement made me not buy it right then and there & i just forgot about it. So glade I get to enjoy it all these years later!

[@arturomail]

I realized my Philips CRT TV had a component input, so I ordered the HD Retrovision YPbPr component cables for SNES and man, oh, man is it a phenomenal bump in image quality. It's leaps and bounds. Maybe one day I'll get into RGB, but for how this is pretty great.

[@recorderdude]

Nice overview! In terms of SNES controllers, I grabbed an asciipad and never looked back. Feels 1:1 like an OEM but with turbo switches on everything. Super famicom button colors too! In terms of SNES value vs. price, I've yet to find a more solid SNES game than SmartBall that you can still get for 5 bucks - that Sony logo keeps people from realizing it was by the Pokemon developer!

[@RetroBirdGaming]

People really like that asciipad. I believe you.

[@classicconsolegamer9922]

Another collaboration video with Console Collector!?!? Made my Friday night mate 👍 I had no idea about the the difference chips. Loved the video very informative. My tip is to try the ascii turbo controller. I used it as a wee lad and it helped alot with some shooters like R type.

[@RetroBirdGaming]

Glad you liked it! I've heard good things about the turbo controller but never used one myself!

[@shanesteinhauser9680]

Mystical Ninja is a fantastic SNES game. That's my one recommendation for the day. :D

[@colt5189]

Several years ago, I bought several MISB first party Nintendo controllers for the NES, SNES, N64, etc. to have. I will say having brand new authentic controllers took a little getting used to as I was used to my 30 year old worn out originals where the buttons were a little easier to press.

[@EmpressOfEgo]

My favourite racing game of all time is probably F-zero. I've heard that that F-zero X, and GX are even better, but I haven't played them yet.

[@RetroBirdGaming]

It kind of depends what you're into. GX is the most different of all of them, since it's made by Sega (who has a good track record of quality arcade racers).

[@liamjamieson8842]

they are.

[@gp63]

I see Retrobird talking about SNES, I click on video. And I learned something new today regarding the motherboard chips. Great stuff :)

[@RedLP5000S]

I waited outside my local Toys "R" Us on the very first day that the SNES was released. I got the Super Set and Pilotwings. That was the beginning of my love affair with the Super Nintendo.

[@idxman01]

Great video RetroBird. I've been binge watching and despite the ease and convenience of emulation you got me excited to try collecting some original hardware. I just snagged a SNES on eBay today, and yes, I had to check every auction for the serial number for the past few weeks.... The one I got starts with UN31 so hopefully it is a one-chip. :-D I also found out today that a buddy has a snes sitting in the closet. I've been there many times and had no idea!! WTH?? Now onto power, av, controllers, SuperBoy and uh.... games!

[@RetroBirdGaming]

Glad to hear it! I hope you enjoy whatever amount of collecting you get into, but remember that there's nothing wrong with sticking to your emulation. Most important thing is to enjoy what you're doing!

[@JohnTheFloridaFlipper]

Great video!

[@RetroBirdGaming]

Thank you! Glad you liked it.

[@shawnwithlove]

The 1CHIP-02 is my pick, but the Analogue Super NT can not be beat. I highly recommend the Super Bomberman series (1-5) and Super Tetris 3 on Super Famicom that are in almost ALL English.

[@RetroBirdGaming]

The Super Bomberman games are a great option for somebody trying to get their Bomberman fix! Combine it with the multi-tap and you're good to go :)

[@Tiknuttle]

The soldering part was good😄

[@blakerelli]

2:53 The eject buttons label is embossed on your console. Mine is printed, could that be a tell sign for a 1chip?

[@blakerelli]

Mine is not a 1chip just to clarify

[@RetroBirdGaming]

Hmm.. interesting observation. I'm not sure. Would have to look into it more.

[@Michael-ih3fp]

You might want to do an episode on authentication. Opening is great but you also need to ensure serial numbers match on the rom to the game cartridge. For example Earthbound is SNES-MB and the rom chip should have that laser etched on top. People are now selling authentic looking games on eBay usually expensive games by flashing the game on to a cheap game that has similar chips and selling them. Sorry for long message. Here is 1up :)

[@RetroBirdGaming]

Yeah, this is a topic I've considered doing for a while. Especially with how many more repros I've seen flooding into eBay the last handful of years. I will get to it eventually, among other future video ideas that I have :)

[@Jarod_Schultz]

I also heard about people removing the lockout tabs in the cartridge slot so they can play Super Famicom games. I personally don't want to do this because I prefer to keep my console original. But there are 4 alternatives. One is to get a Super Famicom console. Another idea is to get a SFC to SNES cartridge adapter. 2 other options are to use a game genie or game saver device. Both are region free, so you can bypass the lockout tabs. I read that some people do the same thing with N64. They use a gameshark to play Japanese games on the American console.

[@RetroBirdGaming]

Yes, those are all legitimate methods. I think getting a Super Famicom is probably the coolest option of them all, since they look so unique :)

[@rolandbaron5813]

Great info 👍🏽 what's the difference between super nes 1 chip 01, vs 2 & 3?

[@RetroBirdGaming]

They're very close. The 1 chip 03 is a bit trickier to do brightness mods on as well.

[@rolandbaron5813]

@@RetroBirdGaming okay. When you say trickier to the brightness mods, what do you mean? Sorry if I ask too many questions. Trying to learn as much as I can when it comes to retro gaming hardware & games Lol

[@RetroBirdGaming]

@@rolandbaron5813 Basically, people find the 1 chip console to run a little too bright, and a mod will fix it. You have to open up the console and do some soldering on the motherboard. But with the 03 there is a more involved soldering job required.

[@rolandbaron5813]

@@RetroBirdGaming oh okay. Thanks a lot

[@SgtSega]

Spectre is kinda neat. It'd a 3D tank battle game that's even for 2 players.

[@thehunterator520]

An other way to learn if it is a one-chip console, is to ask the seller if they can remember what bundle their snes came with, because the one-chip version was introduced around 1994, so my parents got one because it was the dkc bundle and I knew that it would be a one chip console

[@GoodVibeCollecting]

While the NES is my favorite system, SNES has some of my favorite games ever made. They just require you to sell an arm and a leg...and maybe a lung as well. I've seen some UN30 systems that were not 1chip so it is a gamble. In my experience all UN31 have a 1chip 01, UN320 are 1chip 02, and UN321 which is the hardest to find is 1chip 03. The quality is negligible between the three. There are devices out there that let you copy over your save file so if you need to replace the battery you can just copy it back. Very helpful for RPG's.

[@RetroBirdGaming]

Those devices that copy save files are a great suggestion! Also, I had a feeling you would be well-versed when it came to 1-chip consoles! I find the bottom of this spreadsheet to be very useful when it comes to trying to pinpoint the 1-chips: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1q1H5eQYEG_evwpVmAVMAXa9UC6SAcvblr5igUnmpwRk/pub?output=html

So, after all this time I decided to go for a SNES Jr (I have a BC Wii, a N64, PS2-PS5, I could go on) and saw a Super Game Boy for $25. You're telling me that impulse buying that Super Game Boy when I went for Pokémon Pinball will be one of the BEST things I do outside of getting a SNES Jr?

[@cjeelde]

I have some thoughts that this video didn't cover: 1 - the European SNES looked exactly like the japanese one! I think that Japan and Europe had the best looking SNES. So if you're in north america and is fine with PAL (and that 50 Hz) it can be fun to have the european SNES but it might be hard/expensive to get the PAL versions of the games. Probably some people in Europe that prefer the north american SNES as well. And about the japanese SNES and also other japanese consoles: I often think about why it's often pretty much english in the games and not 100% japanese. 2 - SNES Classic Mini! Same 21 games on the US and european version but the old classic US design and european design. Just buy the one you prefer or which one that's easier to get or cheaper. I've looked at the list of games (21) for SNES Classic Mini and I often think about this: what games do I really miss? Do I wanna add more games if possible? The funny thing is that all great SNES games that I wanna play is in SNES Classic Mini. But that's - my - personal opinion. So my advice before going into the original hardware: look at SNES Classic Mini and check the game list! Especially if you're on low budget. But then we have the gamers that wanna have the original hardware no matter what and some of these guys also wanna have SNES Classic Mini and some don't. Also worth to mention: SNES games are also on Switch Online, New 3DS (non-New cannot play SNES), New 2DS and I think also Wii U. So that's a good Plan B or C for gamers if it feels too hopeless to get the original hardware or Classic Mini. I still love the "SNES Zelda" (A Link To The Past). Such a great game! The most Must Have game for SNES! And if you love it, then you probably wanna get a 3DS/2DS with Zelda - A Link Between Worlds that is a sequel, kind of a "great 2nd Quest".

[@marv2k214]

The toilet bit actually made me laugh

[@JanTheMangaMan]

I actually didnt get an snes until way later but I had played its games before that a bunch too so ive always been a big fan of it. But oddly enough I've now had that beautiful yellowed SNES for years now and have only gotten like 9 games for it when for my other consoles I usually have dozens of games for. I absolutely love the SNES and its library, especially as a huge JRPG fan, but oddly havent gotten as many games for. I plan on changing that in the coming years for sure. My tip is that if you are a big JRPG fan like me I suggest to get Ys III. It is surprisingly a pretty cheap jrpg of a pretty popular series. Dont always look for the heavy hitter RPGs but look for more obscure ones and you'll find that they can be much more affordable at times

[@cicabeot1]

I don’t currently have a way to play Super Nintendo cartridges. But when I get one, I’ll be sure to buy Mr Nutz for it.

[@RetroBirdGaming]

Hahah. I actually do worry about my videos making you all feel pressure to collect or play certain things. There's never time for everything all at once :) The SNES will be waiting for you. It's prices aren't climbing as of right now compared to some of the other consoles.

[@DanielRivera-on5qh]

Sooo many great games you can get for around 20 bucks and also so many you can get for around 30. Keep that in mind before you think you have to buy every great snes game for 50+. And if you're having trouble collecting snes there are many ways to be clever in picking them up. Undebatably the best Nintendo console. Best system to collect for

[@ealswytheangelicrealms]

3 of my most rare and expensive SNES games are Dragon Quest V, Dragon Quest VI and Final Fantasy V put out by a small retro gaming company called Timewalk Games. Did this company have any connection to Nintendo? When did these games come out? The 3 games I mentioned were released in Japan for the Super Famicom but not in the U.S. In the 1990's as far as I know. These games were originally English translated ROMs playable on an SNES emulator on a computer. This Timewalk game company put out these English translations on SNES reproduction carts with reproduction SNES labels in boxes that look like original SNES boxes. Do you have any of these Timewalk games or any others this company produced? I have a LOT of my gaming friends searching for these Timewalk games but can't find them for sale on eBay or any retro gaming store. I wonder how many games this company released and if they were only English translated RPGs that never came out originally for the system.

[@RetroBirdGaming]

Timewalk made good stuff and then they shut down. So, I suppose supply is super limited. That's a shame, but you have some nice collector pieces as a result.

[@ealswytheangelicrealms]

Retro Bird - another gamer here messaged me the games are super rare because it was a 2 man operation and they produced very few games. He said the games sell for $500 now because of rarity. Only reason I have them is because they had English translations of Super Famicom RPG games that never came out for the Super Nintendo. It is the only way I could play Final Fantasy V, Dragon Quest V and VI in English.

[@RetroBirdGaming]

@@ealswytheangelicrealms Yeah, I can definitely see the appeal of that. Very timely of you to pick them up.

[@CasperEgas]

I am more of a SEGA fan, but the SNES is pretty cool. It has a lot of good third party games.

[@Black-Rat]

I only have one SNES console but a good game collection, it's still not yellow at all, just like it'd be brand new and plays like a charm, well, at least when I play it... But, there are some of my games that give me some headaches, when that happens I have to remove the game cartridge and put it in again, and start it again, depends of the games of course, it's just insert the game cartridge and start the console if it works then you're good to go, but if it's not, then remove the cartridge, put it in again and start it again, repeat until it starts... Note that not all of my games cause me some problem, the only problem I have is to starting the game, but though I'm not sure, I still have a brand new Retron 2 that I bought brand new a few years ago but it's still in the box and I've never played it before, I bought it in case of the SNES console dies on me, as an insurance... The games I have were handpicked from the old days ( the 90s ) and still remembered, the rest came along the way, some good, some bad, some I hadn't even heard about back in the 90s...

[@bartsimpson83]

I love my SNES, but everyone knows Genesis does what nintendon't.

[@SgtSega]

Start off with Mario. Those games give you the most bang for your buck. Then get the cheap games that are for 2 players like Super Smash TV, Goof Troop, Kirby Super Star, ect. Also nab the DKC trilogy of games. Super Star Wars games are hard as heck, but soooo good! Sim City and Actraiser are cheap but really addicting. Gradius III is good despite slowdown. Don't let the hardcore players scare you away from playing it. It's solid! Got mine for 9 bucks. And hey if that's too hard, just enter the Konami code and you're good to go!

[@samuelchurch5124]

Honestly one thing that really upsets me is the price of Super Metroid. I can't find a single listing online that's selling that game for less than $70.

[@kevin_kevinson]

It's funny how much nostalgia affects our opinions on what the best console is. I have no nostalgia for the snes, but I can see why it's up there for the hypothetical "trophy". That being said, It's kinda impossible to compare it to the n64 or anything after it, since it's completely 2d. So, it's definitely the best 2d console! ;)

Old consoles from PS2 and older all you have to do is put the game in and play. Oh yeah and recently I got locked out of one of my play station accounts. It’s so annoying. You don’t have accounts for old consoles and so no stress. All you have to do with retro consoles is turn it on, put in a game and play. That’s it…. That is all. Having fun right when you turn it on.
