Demon's Crest is a freakin' work of art. Easily some of the most beautiful art direction of the entire 16-bit era. One of those rare gems that are stupid expensive when you find a copy nowadays that is actually worth the price.

I Got mine for 100 dollars and it is well spent money for so many chills from the boss fights.

Capcom had so many great games on the NES, and they definitely kept it rolling on the SNES. Mega Man is probably my favorite series of all time.

[@evenoddprime]

I collected them all. 1 thru X6 (except X3) and sold them all as a complete set for like $100 when I was poor and in college. Worst decision of my life. (and then I failed out of college too lol)

Love the channel,Mr Riggs, just wanted to point out that in Canada at least, Bonkers was on daily(weekdays) in the Disney Afternoon block for about 2-3 years there. So not just Saturday mornings here ,anyways. The more you know. Keep up the great work

[@NipplesTheEnchilada2323]

We did get the Japan-only Mickey & Donald game on GBA here in the west, where it was called "Disney's Magical Quest 3 Starring Mickey & Donald", when Capcom was porting SNES games to the GBA in the early 2000's. Same goes for Mega Man & Bass, as it also was a Japan-only SNES game that got a GBA port in the west, though it is very difficult to play due to lack of screen, so you have to deal with a ton of off-screen enemies. Also, Fun Fact: Mega Man & Bass on the SNES, or as it is known in Japan as RockMan & Forte on the Super Famicom, was released in 1998, two years after Mega Man 8 on PS1, and also takes place after 8. EDIT: I did notice you forgot two Capcom published games, by the way, being Super Buster Bros and Wizardry V: Heart of the Maelstrom.

[@cerebralp666]

Thanks!

[@lunchbox3559]

Street Fighter Alpha 2 was published by Capcom in North America and Japan. It was Published by Nintendo in Europe.

[@eviljigglypuff2254]

Magical Quest starring Mickey Mouse is basically Disney Megaman. Top notch. But to correct you, Magical quest 1 had suits as well. Fireman, Mountain Climber, Mage/Sultan.

[@evenoddprime]

Yeah, that made me confused. I was like “wait, which one did I even rent???”

[@Hoodooter]

Another quality video, Mr. Riggs. Immediately brought up memories of play sessions on my families old console TV (you know the kind I am talking about, ones that seemed to be carved directly out of a petrified redwood tree, and weighed about 15 tons). My thumb even had a ghost twinge from the though of relentlessly attempting Zangief's spinning piledriver, over and over again, on the SNES D-Pad.

[@mywhychromosome]

It’s funny, usually when I watch ‘video-game related content’ on YT, I tend to go for things that are more like in-depth analysis, breaking things down, pros and cons, story (where applicable) and so forth. Not sure if it’s just bc you were covering so many games, but I really dug the laid-back, ‘quickly tell you everything important you need to know/rank/move on’ style of this, sets you apart a bit. Keep it up!

[@TheStudioManila]

15:32 X2 & X3 has improved graphics having CX4 chip , new X moves and eXcellent SNES music achieving new ways to experience gameplay, eXcellent controls, new security features / anti-bootleging "back-up" copy prevention to floppy discs; anyone can enjoy it, obviously cannot be below A tier. 18:24 SSF2 4 new characters with unique moves, best version of this game on any platform of its generation, better sounds than Genesis for sure cannot be below A. Giving these SNES games an S tier is justified. CAPCOM is the best 💯

[@nycxtile]

SSF2 technically had a better version on the 3DO. It was the turbo version with Akuma and supers. Though most ppl didn't have a 3DO and it didn't come with 6 button controls by default AFAIK.

[@TheStudioManila]

@@nycxtile its better alright, with all the bells and whistles, however it is TURBO or X version, it is similar not the same, if SSF2 is a shiba inu SSF2 X is akita inu bothe are dogs. Therefore the SNES / SFC version is the superior product of its kind.

[@nycxtile]

@@TheStudioManila I know the version differences. However, that version is technically better with improved gameplay and and the addition of the super bar.

You are absolutely not the only one who would put MMX is the "S" category.

I've watched enough John Riggs videos to know its not his bag of tea, but it might be yours. Much love to you Mr Riggs from Tacoma.

[@roberthunter479]

Agree with you. One of my favorite games. I wish they had ported part 2 as well. I like the music they added to the SNES port.

[@merlijn2000]

Yes, it's a great port!

[@NickEnlowe]

You need to get farther into Mutant Apocalypse. The intro stages are unique to each character and then the game gets more interesting.

[@dannyt9744]

Lot of replay value like trying to beat Apocalypses stage with each character. Sure, some stages are short but it’s a solid game and a lot of fun to speed run

[@reyvgm]

You said UN Squadron didn't get a sequel. It didn't for the SNES, but there is one for the arcades in case you didn't know. It's called Carrier Air Wing.

[@Ragtime4]

Yup! Carrier Air Wing or U.S. Navy depending on region!

[@brianjl7477]

It's not like a sequel-sequel, since the first is based on Area 88, but, yeah, it basically is the successor game. If you like Un Squadron (which I do!), then Carrier Airwing is right up anyones alley, It's too bad it never hit SNES.

[@BetterThanDoomWithAZ]

The way you introduced U.N. Squadron sounded like the game was called Urine Squattin'.

[@slamjackson2137]

Capcom’s Aladdin has such a great flow to it. It’s smooth and rhythmic, and you can really get into a groove when you play. Not only is it a surprisingly unique take on the platforming genre, but it’s… FUN to play. The genesis game, as much as I really want to like it, just feels so much slower and methodical. It’s very stop and go and just feels like a chore to get through. Beautiful as it is, I just don’t find it very enjoyable. The only argument I ever hear in its favor is that “IT HAS A SWORD!”, which sounds like a parody of a real argument in terms of gameplay. That said I do want to like the genesis Aladdin (I did spend money on it), any pointers would be appreciated.

[@brianhatcher2799]

I can’t give you any pointers, but I can say that I totally relate to what you’re saying. I think the Sega version is much harder, and I still have only got a few levels into it. Everything you just said is spot-on.

[@Wilky2526]

Most movie-based games in the 90's were mediocre, at best, and have aged like milk. SNES Aladdin is among the few gems in this category. The visuals, the music, smooth controls. I think the challenge is just right, too. Not too hard, although casual gamers may run into some obstacles in the later levels... but if it were too easy no one would play it... lol

[@RocKnight11]

Megaman X has tighter controls than 7, and the sprite size in 7 was too big, which made it feel a bit off, where as X series nailed the feel of original series.

[@LegitPunisherProGaming]

great topic for a video man!

[@MichaelTaylor-qp2xf]

I only beat Aladdin on SNES because I always got lost in the massive, maze-like levels of the Genesis game.

[@brianhatcher2799]

Yeah, in my opinion, the SNES Aladdin is the better version. That might be nostalgia talking too a little. But kudos to the publishers back in those days for making two different and awesome games of the same name in many cases on different systems

[@SBandana-uw9ed]

the genesis version is waaaay better

[@ghkillah1995]

Man Riggs, I can't believe you didn't finish BOF II.. On of the most amazing endings of all!! BOF 1 AND II were to me the best RPG of all time, yes even over FF. (I love those too). I loved Secret of Evermore, Mana, Illusion of Gaia, and Chrono Trigger is probably right beside BOF, Earthbound, and even Actraiser. Man... Such great times. 🥹 The grinding-est game on the snes was Lufia I and II and 7th Saga. Wow, we were SO lucky.

[@JohnRiggs]

such a grind. I need easy mode. Give me that Breath of Fire: Mystic Quest.

[@zeusapollo6504]

You should have finished Breath of Fire II, becaue unlike all the other Breath of Fire games in the series, it was absolutely worth it, one of the best Final Boss Fights and endings in an JRPG ever. And honestely its the best game in the series. You downrated a very good game and timless classic. Its the hardest, too, but all RPG games are easy by default, so it does not matter. You can prepare everything for turn based combat by just bringing plenty of heals and potions. Its not Battletoads.

I liked Megaman Soccer a lot when I was a kid and still pick it up from time to time. Couldn't help but notice you didn't mention power shots/super shots- each character has a unique power shot with different animations and effects. You can only do 2 power shots per half with the default settings, but I loved trying out each character to see their power shot. Added a lot of fun and replay value. Thanks for another great video

“You don’t need to be a fan of the show but you may be confused why you are a cat cop.”

[@william68111]

Pretty much agree with most except for Breath of Fire 1 and 2. These 2 games do not get enough attention for people who enjoy JRPGS especially BoF2, they are always overshadowed by others like Final Fantasy games which i also love lol. I know everyones taste is different but man that series did a number on me as a kid and as an adult, perhaps people aren't seeing what diehard fans of the series are seeing. They arent perfect because some in the series should be longer and feels like it ends suddenly but they belong in S tier with the Mega Man X games in my books :)

[@miahthorpatrick1013]

I agree. I prefer BoF 1 and 2 over any FF game on the SNES.

[@NateTheGnat]

Final Fight was an awesome game on the SNES. It gets a lot of hate, but I personally give it an A+ or even an S. Not perfect, but still pretty darn good. And the soundtrack is one of the best on the system. The sequels don't compare to it.

[@derekshropshire2513]

Forward forward attack on knights of the round to do a power hit that sometimes makes enemies drop loot. My brother and I played that one so many times.

The initial four robot master screen threw me off at first but the more times I play this game the more I adore it! Excellent graphics and a really really excellent soundtrack!! It also featured to me the hardest final bout with Dr Wily!

I always play Mega Man 7 with the "Classic Mode" password that removes the intro and intermission stage and unlocks all robot masters at the start. I personally like 7 better than the X games, but I'm biased to Classic over X because I think most of the X series sucks. Not all, but most.

Around here Bonkers was an after school show. I think it didn't catch on because it launched towards the end of the whole Disney Afternoon thing. For a long time it was DuckTakes, Rescue Rangers and Talespin. Although that might be a bad theory because Dark Wing Duck caught on pretty well.
