Top 50 Super Nintendo (SNES) / Super Famicom Games of all Time (in 60fps 1080p HD)

[@jarkokoo]

Don't necessarily agree with everything, but this was a fresh list, a lot of games I didn't expect to be here. Good list.

[@Quartered_Rodent]

This has to be the best countdown format I've ever seen. You're not speaking over the games effects yet you have a quick description of what kind of game it is and what it's about. Great job!

[@skins4thewin]

I wholeheartedly disagree. I much prefer the vids where he has commentary on each game.

[@dontevenlook]

He should have done both, a nice script with some game play book ending the commentary. This is just a lazy generic top 50. Also he only gives a title/year/publisher not a description of the games at all.

[@AS-fu1kd]

These games really help me stay connected to my inner child. I miss the days when I could just sit down with the brothers on a Saturday morning with some cereal and play games all morning

[@Dojakt]

Metal marines was the first game i picked up for my snes when i got into retro 2-3 years ago. I was so addicted to this game back in the day. Warms my hart to see it in somebody else's top 50 Thank you for your well made video

[@Juganawt]

+Dojakt Thanks! Glad to see another Metal Marines fan!

[@greensun1334]

The SNES game library is full with timeless classics, and many of them still look so good! The SNES is also my favourite console, the Genesis is my second best (but it's very close). 16bit console and arcade titles of the early 90 are the best games imo!

[@purwantiallan5089]

Yep. And about 89 percent of those top 50 SNES game of alltime are still better than majority of PS5 games somehow.

[@michamahal1909]

The Best Console ever!

[@VanBurgen]

This is a true factoid

[@Rixxan1]

Hell no N64 is way better

[@chavacow]

[@vallaurianv6024]

Truth!

[@obthree2830]

@@Rixxan1 honestly the 64 really didn’t hold up well but most people pick what they grew up with. It’s all nostalgic. But the snes blows the 64 out the water. The ps1 was better than the 64 to. Not many games really play great today that were in the 64. So many great franchises had their worst outings on the 64, like Castlevania, Megaman, etc. their were some good games on this system to like Zelda, Paper Mario, 007. But there always was Superman😂

A great compilation, mate! I enjoyed reading your commentary on all 50 of them!

[@Juganawt]

+snikkerz Thank you kindly!

[@purwantiallan5089]

​@@Juganawthappy early new year 2024! I still love all those 50 of the top 50 SNES games of alltime.😊

[@nostartia]

I can tell we're from the same generation... I subscribe every opinion, super mario kart, zelda and final fantasy having their finest moments in the snes, period! ;) I feel lucky i got to play many of them back then. Great video and, as has been said here, loads of bittersweet nostalgia too :)

[@irongamer8767]

Nobody can agree the entire list. That's a matter of taste. But you did a really good job. I am a great fan of the SNES, it was my 1st console back in the day when it came out....and I love to see videos like this one =)

[@Juganawt]

+Iron Gamer awesome! Thank you

[@chappydeb]

Great video and selections. The SNES had some awesome games. Thank you for posting.

[@Kiran24]

even though i don´t agree to all the nominations, i have to say: this is the best made top50 i have seen for a long time! the ending is fabulous! :) and i love, that you chose to text instead of talking all the time. the immersion is so much bigger, when you can concentrate on the gameplay shown! Thumbs UP!!!!

[@ChescoYT]

+Kiran24 Agreed! His video production for this Top List is perfect. Problem is his selection of games & order...lol

[@Juganawt]

+Chesco everyone's different. My choices may not be the same as yours, but this isn't "top 50 games that everyone thinks are good". As it says at the beginning. these are MY selections. I'd be shocked if every game and position on this list 100% matched anyone elses!

[@markvickery5894]

Kiran24 I mean I guess, but as someone who almost exclusively does multiple things at a time I like to have him saying stuff about the game so I can do other stuff while still getting him that view time and learning about great snes games

[@purwantiallan5089]

All of those TOP 50 SNES games are equally LEGENDARY to play even in 2023. FF6, SSF II and Super Mario World are undoubtedly my alltime favourite SNES games.

[@ioradio]

I played the heck out of Metal Marines. It's rare that I find a list on youtube filled with games that I would choose, to include the more obscure titles. Great list.

[@Juganawt]

boxheadhappypill007 Awesome! Glad you like the list, and I'm pleased to see another Metal Marines fan!

[@WAKE-UP-BRITAIN]

MARIO KART on the snes for me is definitely in the top 3 best games ever

[@ivanelectricguitar]

True! So colorful and fun to play..... But the rotation mode isn't good

[@asch3671]

My top 5 5- Donkey Kong Country 2 4- Megaman X 3- Yoshi's Island 2- Chrono Trigger 1- Earthbound

[@Juganawt]

Asch-kun 2574 That's a nice list. I thoroughly enjoy every game on there.

[@theurbanloner8879]

That's a nice list. 1 link to the past 2 diddy Kong's quest 3 super Mario world 4 super metriod 5 chrono trigger

[@ultimategamer2669]

25:30 Holy crap, FINALLY someone who can appreciate the beauty of a 4X strategy game on a freaking retro console by putting it on the top 10, and a pretty good one too! Much more polished than the DOS version, especially when you realize you can actually use the R button to easily scroll through the map and the menus. Nice video, mate!

[@purwantiallan5089]

Super Nintendo Console as of 2023 is almost 31 years old. How fast time really flies...😢

[@BoveGameplay]

I played metal marines a lot... its one best games strategy i ever play

[@Adino1]

This is certainly an interesting list. Far from the typical SNES list but it is hard to argue with it as all those games are so great. It reminds me just how great that system was. I knew this was going to be a different list when I saw Hagane in there. If I had one criticism it is that Chrono Trigger should never be left out of the top 10 of any list.

[@bamafan73191]

I feel the same with super Metroid and the top 5, also have no idea what civilization is....

[@purwantiallan5089]

Chrono Trigger, Super Metroid, Star Fox, and SSF II all should've been easily in the top 10 along with 1993's MEGA MAN X.

[@MetalSlimeDrummer]

YES on #1 ! I'm not sure that Yoshi's Island is the #1 best game, but i will say it deserves to be on someone's list as #1 because that game was and is perfection.

[@StewNWT]

Chrono Trigger #14?? that's crazy. Top 3 bro

[@akhandtripathipyz9888]

It's my favourite game ever His taste is a little different

[@cravis123]

I really like your pick for the top 50. I have a lot of memories in particular with secret of mana wich I think is one of the most unique RPG ever created. Yoshi's island, yes, well crafted, superb! There are much more games than 50 but it is a top 50. Snes was the golden era of games and nothing can deny that! In the past Nintendo created the true meaning of playing games, wich is having fun with friends or to venture on a journey choosing an RPG , nowdays is totaly different but in a bad way I think, beacause these is the era of virtual reality, and this is something else...

[@Juganawt]

+cravis123 There could easily be a top 250 or a top 100, but I'm not sure if people would like an hour long video or longer. I think ~30 mins is the longest anyone would watch for.

Gold age of Nintendo

[@JazGalaxy]

Oh my gosh what an amazing list. This is probably the best she's top ten list ever. Once you hit shadow run I was like... Somebody make this thing official. How do we do that?

[@Juganawt]

+JazGalaxy There's no such thing as an official Top 50, it's all down to personal opinion...and that's why they're great! Every list is as different as the people who put them together.

[@JazGalaxy]

Juganawt I'm kidding about the official list.

[@muscletribeofexcellence2133]

Great list and also like all you have the text on the side explaining your view of the game. Great video.

[@SpotOnJ2K]

Thumbs up for Zombies Ate My Neighbors, Shadowrun, Actraiser, NBA Hangtime, and Cool Spot!

Thanks, dude. So glad I'm not the only one who thinks NBA Hangtime is a phenomenal game!

[@themrnails]

Thanks for another fun list to watch. Looking forward to seeing a Top #X list for PS1, PS2, Saturn and Dreamcast!!! :)

[@Juganawt]

One day, one day! The next one in the pipe is for a relatively obscure handheld - my next list is a top 25 for the Atari Lynx.

[@eapradius]

thanks for putting terranigma high on your list. It is severely underrated

This whole vid is basically my childhood. Played them all xD

[@StiffAftermath]

Kinda nice to see some different games in your top 50. Mine of course is different but I enjoy other people's tastes too. Besides, you never know what gems will be discovered!

[@Juganawt]

steph des Variety is the spice of life! Glad you like the list

[@elkinb50]

I love that you didn't put Metroid or Zelda in the 1 and 2 spot. While those games are amazing and deserve those spots, every video always has them on their first two spots. It was fun trying to figure out what would be the top two games. It makes the list more personal rather than trying to appeal to the popular choices. Thanks for changing things up!

[@jamiehoward6505]

Agreed on the non mainstream games. Disagree on zelda. Personally i hate alttp

[@Athomass]

This is great! We have very similar taste and I've just started playing Earthbound about a week ago and loving it. Shadowrun was pretty dark but one of my favourites too. One not on the list that would be up there for me is Biker Mice from Mars. I did really enjoy Rock n Roll racing too which was great to see it on there.

[@Juganawt]

+Alex Thomas Glad you are enjoying Earthbound, and I'm glad you loved Shadowrun! Biker Mice from Mars was considered, but on a recent playthrough, I couldn't justify putting it on my list. It was a fun game, though!

[@Eastsidebridge]

Juganawt #14 you put chrono cross

[@mukinha]

03:42 man this game is awesome!!! Raally an obscure gem! ;)

[@michaelsierra9]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 It's great that you went w your choice, not the pop picks. Mine's personally 1. Link 2. Shadowrun 3. Metroid. You're the only youtuber i know that picked shadowrun at the top part of the list. Never played civ and earthbound on snes though. And yoshi's island i played on the gba, not snes.

[@bamafan73191]

"Must be fun to play today" *sees coolspot* Man that game wasn't fun to play 20 years ago.

[@ChescoYT]

[@johntucker23]

Awesome! Thanks. Hope you enjoy the videos as and when they are finished!

[@metalmat3651]

4 titles that would end up in my top 50: Ken Griffey JR Baseball, Super Tecmo Bowl 3, Madden 94 and NHL 94. Good list though, quite a bit of games I had never heard of.

[@mrp4242]

22:00 Yes! One of my top 10 SNES games as well. One of the three original launch titles. Revolutionary. Lots of fun. SIM CITY.

[@R.B.forMER_S.]

Thanks for choosing Yoshis Island at #1🤔...😒 actually over Super Mario World 👏😃

[@ArtaxNOO]

You had me pissed for a second when Super Mario poped up as ur #1!!!🤣🤣🤣 Good list, man! Zelda and Super Metroid were my favorites then, and now😁

[@neozeed1984]

ok, two games I have never played from this list and will now have to go play due to my new found respect for your opinion. civilization and super mario world 2. Great coverage of the 16 bit era. In my opinion the best generation of gaming. Probably due to the timing of it in my life, but maybe not, it just may be the best time to be a gamer!

[@Juganawt]

+neozeed1984 Before you play Civilization, make sure you don't have anything planned for the rest of the day, as you'll be playing it for hours and hours! Yoshi's Island gets a bad reputation because of its art style and infamous "Crying Baby Mario", but honestly, the level design, morphing mechanics, and sweet touches littering the game render it as one of the greatest platform games of all time.

[@jamiehoward6505]

I agree on yoshis island better than mato world. The levels are amazing

[@jamiehoward6505]

Mario*

[@julesmcgrules3860]

I always knew about the Sims but I had no idea civilization was on SNES! :0

[@detectingretro6313]

A great comprehensive list. Personally would have had Plok and DK Country higher, but obviously it’s all about personal choice. Nice one

[@lancegringo4691]

I was surprised that you chose Mega Man X3 over the original Mega Man X game. I do agree with you about Yoshi's Island though, it was miles better than Super Mario World.

[@jherrenor]

great list. just missing Street Fighter Alpha 2, Fire Power, Super Aleste, Dragon the Bruce Lee story (very underrated), Mortal Kombat 2, Donkey Kong Country 2, R-Type 3, Parodius, Smash TV, Sunset Riders, Legend of the Mystical Ninja.

[@Juganawt]

+jherrenor Many of those games were extremely close to making the list. SFA2 would have made it if it wasn't for the annoying pauses in gameplay, and I'm glad I'm not the only one who thoroughly enjoyed Dragon. If I went back and added an Honorable mentions section, most of those games would definitely be showcased there!

[@jamiehoward6505]

A lot of my top games are in there, slightly different ordering, but I can think of a few I'd make room for like Goof Troop. Great 2-player co-op puzzle solving.

[@Juganawt]

[@MrBrendanBB]

great video man! well put together and great selections on the game titles however, DOOM and Duke Nukem should have made the list before a couple others...

[@Juganawt]

SNES Doom, while an admirable attempt, was not the best version of it's generation - that's why Doom is featured on the 32X instead of here. SNES Duke never materialized - the SNES just couldn't cope with the complex level architecture.

[@GazerPlur420]

Nice list! Did you happen to play any of the super scope games by any chance? I had Battleclash, Metal Combat, and Yoshis Safari when I was a kid and the scope was pretty revolutionary at that time. Looking deep into the comments... nobody else asked about those games as well.

[@Juganawt]

Yeah I had the Super Scope. My favourite games for it were T2 The Arcade Game and Yoshi's Safari. I also had a soft spot for Blastris.

[@GazerPlur420]

[@doughboy0371]

I played Yoshi's Island on the GBA when I was about eight, I raged so hard because I sucked at the game, but that's what made it one of my favorite games today, along with DKC

[@Juganawt]

Glad you persevered with it! It's wonderful!

[@MetalJody1990]

[@TheHiddencrusader]

I give you respect for spending the time and making a great video of your top 50 SNES games. However I disagree with a lot of the choices and placement of some games on this list. I am not saying to be a troll or to start a heated debate. I bring it up because there are so many great games and my exposure/experience with the SNES varied from yours. This shows the variety of great games on the system that can appeal to many different people which I think emphasizes that the SNES was the greatest system ever made! ( This is my subjective opinion :P )

[@Juganawt]

Warren Stevens There are literally hundreds of superb SNES games out there. Exposure to those games, and our personal tastes, are bound to differ from person to person, and we should celebrate our differences in opinion! There's no "right" or "wrong" opinions - after all, life would be boring if everyone liked exactly the same things all the time! Please make a list of your favourite games, pop 'em up on KZbin, and we can compare and contrast our lists!

[@theurbanloner8879]

Total class this video man, loved it. Super Metroid is my top choice, pretty contraversial to me that it isn't even top five for here :-). Yoshi's Island is quality though, but you can't beat a bit of Super Mario World for platforming, loved what you did there ;-) I like how the two games bookend the Super Nintendo's life.

[@james2175]

I enjoy your lists and I while I don't always agree with all the choices, I see where you come from and I appreciate what you do. The Genesis list, for example, was not perfect but still pretty solid and I liked it a lot. This one, however, is VERY different from what I would choose. I'm kind of baffled, to be honest. It doesn't even look like you created it, based on your choices for other consoles.

[@jizzaymz]

Decent list although I do disagree with certain titles. Love the SNES... I think my two favourite games are Super Mario World (yes part 1) and Contra 3: The Alien Wars. Sad that NHL 94 didn't make the list. Riddick Bowe boxing is another great game, I like it more than Super Punch-Out (which I'm shocked didn't make the list)

[@Tony-ko6ll]

It's Mario cool. Have never played it though 😎

[@foxstars2229]

not a bad list ofcourse its different from my list. no two list will ever be same. the super Nintendo had so many great games. u can say there are no right or wrong list. for me the best console ever made for its time.it has some of the best games ever made. crono trigger, legend of Zelda,super Metroid, these games are legendary

[@Juganawt]

Fox Stars The Snes truly was a magical piece of hardware, released at a magical time in gaming. It has a library of wonderful titles both renowned and obscure, spanning across all genres. It's a beautiful console, but I'd probably have to disagree that it's the best console ever. Maybe this would be a topic for a future video....

[@greensun1334]
