[@profezzorBALTAZAR]

Donkey Kong Country was the best game for the console, best graphics, gameplay and sound. And so many memories..

[@Ddarke11]

When I would get a new system, I'd give away my older system and games to the neighbor kids or some in the family never thinking about having a collection later. Sure, it's a bit bitter, but I'd do it all over again just because of how happy it made them.

[@pulpprof526]

My cousin used to do that with me. He changed my life by doing this, and perhaps you did the same for another.

[@panandscan4941]

❤️

[@urikayan2368]

That's how it should be man. People who get hung up on collecting these are silly. They are way overpriced. You can play the game through digital for nothing. It's just a memory of it. Which you can't hold forever. Don't get hung up on the past.

[@CaptAwesumNo1Zone]

My God the amount of memories on this system and the amount of jaw dropping moments in the games, we really were lucky growing up during the Nintendo, Genesis, Super Nintendo eras

[@FinalBaton]

Your personal stories/background info surrounding those games really take your episodes to another level. It makes us (and you)emotionally invested in the video. This is soooo enjoyable.

[@dougsworld7533]

I LOVE hearing you talk about games .. especially sharing all your old memories from back in the 90's =).

[@bonesjackson81]

Don't feel bad. A lot of us fucked up selling when we were younger. I never thought I'd wanna play them again. Doh 😡

[@jmarx3943]

I still have my games, but I didn't keep the boxes or instructions. I really regret that now.

[@bonesjackson81]

I had nothing left. I always dumped the old for the new. Dumb. Started over 7 years ago. Got everything I had that I liked back and more. 508 is the current count. But really the money I could have saved 😣

[@jmarx3943]

Bones Jackson my condolences. That's a hell of a collection though. I have a very small, but curated collection. Only 37 SNES games, but it's all killer and no filler.

[@sippingGerber]

Same. I sold a shit ton of my Pokémon DS games

[@MoejiiOsmanTV]

Everybody sold there stuff

[@NintendoCade]

Hey Johnny, thank you for sharing your nostalgic memories and feelings of your Super Nintendo games. It was really entertaining and reminded me of my youth playing many of my SNES classics. You have a rock solid collection, and I totally agree on you with the pricing of collecting Super Nintendo games nowadays. Great episode! :)

[@shawnzodakhisstank3164]

I love how you get into detail about all these games.. This really makes me look into some of the gameplay and decide on games that I missed out on when I was growing up.. I owned a Super Nintendo, but my brother and I never had many games on this console nor did we sit and play it much.. but these have become some of my favorite games today.

[@PeteOliva]

Fantastic video. My favorite console ever! I feel your pain when you talk about selling your collection. Probably the greatest regret of my life was, before heading off to college in 1999, selling my nearly 300 game NES collection and my 100 game SNES collection to this local guy for $1200 dollars. At the time, it seemed like the grown up thing to do. Hell, it paid for all my books practically that first year of college. But damn, that money is long spent and gone but the regret will forever remain. Never sell your games people! You will miss them one day, even the crappy ones, for what they remind you of the times in your life. To this day, it's why I never even trade in my games.

[@JGRICH61]

I have similar stories except I let my friend send his brother my NES collection and it was stolen on a bus! Luckily about 60% of my SNES collection survived although no boxes just cartridges.

[@MadPanicGaming]

The SNES is one of my favorite consoles, it's always in a battle with the PS1 for me. A lot of my all-time favorite games are on the SNES, and I'm still discovering new games for it and the Super Famicom to this today. Just as an example I picked up Ys V the other day and I've been loving it. Awesome collection of games, John.

[@ElAlex214]

I wish that most of those foreign jrpgs would make it to either mobile or a super limited edition rpg snes classic with proper translation. I bet that would sell millions if they push out shipments 3-5 times that year. Some of those being Terranigma, star ocean, ys 4 & 5, lenus 2(paladins quest 2), treasure hunter G, treasure of the rudas, tales of phantasia & secret of mana 2. There are so many other great rpgs that can be added, if something like this ever comes out it would be the best gift anyone could have gaming wise.

[@MadPanicGaming]

You're right, and most of the games you named have English patches available for them. That's the route I'd recommend taking, since it doesn't seem like any Super Famicom JRPGs are likely to get official releases outside of Japan. The SNES is also super easy to mod, it's essentially region free.

[@jkenbaltazar]

I can't count how many times I've replayed this video. Johnny has so much passion for all his games and he has very distinct memories of playing each one. Most collection videos nowadays just show off the games as "trophies" whereas Johnny passionately recalls warm memories playing each one.

[@TristunYTAccount]

Owwwww yea this is what Sundays are for. Thanks Johnny!

[@WhiteTigerlilyFilms]

Thank you Johnny this is one of the greatest trips down memory lane yet, truly a golden age in gaming. You Rock man!!!!

[@MoejiiOsmanTV]

Mystic quest is definitely a bit of a cult classic now.. I just recently pulled it out of my collection and played a bit of it a couple months ago.. Very nostalgic.

[@SuperDerek]

What a great collection! I'm such a sucker for Super Nintendo RPGs, and you've got a good number of 'em!

[@NaikoArt]

Illusion of GAIA! Such a classic, the story is so good, and also Legend of the Mystical Ninja

[@ChrisDoesTV]

Derek and Grace are amazing - so glad you guys met up

[@herohunter81]

I like the roll with the CD case holding up your shelf in the back. That's when you know you have some weight to your collection. My favorite gaming channel!

[@GamezOfWar]

I remember that sega CDX and Lunar trade story! So worth it, lol!! Love soul blazer so much!

[@SharifSourour]

I can never get over Secret of Mana. I was in grade 3 and this kid who I used to play with at recess would play as if we were characters from the game and thought he had made it up. Later when visiting his house he showed me the game and I began renting it. I kept renting the same copy and using my own save file. One day we had a family party where my parents invited a few friends' families for dinner and while showing the game to one of the kids I accidentally deleted my save file. I then got determined to get my dad to buy me the game. I eventually ended up finishing it and funny enough, my buddy from school never got past the first 10% of the game! LOL 😂😂😂

[@Shadowfynx]

Sharif Sourour yeah the game is a trip. lucky to have played it in the states.

[@JasonVoorhees10100]

Shoulda traded em for his copy haha

[@PaulRockey]

Ha! I also sold all my super nes stuff to buy a sega cdx, when I was about 11 years old. And I ended up selling that when I was 14 to buy the PlayStation. Fortunately, when I was 17, I came to my senses and stopped selling all my retro stuff. I went on eBay and bought back all my old nes, snes, and cdx stuff. Now I keep all my stuff. Never selling anything.

[@Huddison]

I also loved Lagoon: it was great how you could become so OTT powerful and just thrash all the end game enemies; great story line too. So many memories of that game!

[@straightjak1t]

I grew up with Lufia 2 and when I got older I found a copy of the first Lufia. Such a fantastic series. Lufia 2 is one of my favorite games of all time

[@itsaPIXELthing]

What an amazing collection and a freakin' awesome selection of games! :) Thanks for sharing, Johnny!

[@andrewarbuckle5617]

You are sitting on a gold mine there, Johnny. Those boxed games are mint! Great collection and enjoyed the video. Keep up the good work!

[@LunchSock]

The Super Nintendo has always held the best memories for me personally, that's why I will try with every fiber of my being to obtain a Snes mini for sentimental vaule. Was nice hearing all those neat memories and thinking back on my own as well with most of these games.

[@Gameorama91]

Always envious of seeing collections like this. I can't afford to collect games lol. Every now and then I can buy a new game straight up, but for the most part I need to rely on selling older games to get new ones I want. Gaming can be a rough hobby sometimes lol

[@savagebeastb.m.fgamesgames7255]

We have almost all traded our games away but I gained it all back and way more I was lucky all my child hood games were cheap lol thanks for always sharing your time

[@kikko]

Thanks for sharing, Johnny! For years I wondered what was the story behind World Heroes 2 (I'm a huge fan of the franchise). Good to finally know!

[@GangiFilms]

LEGEND OF MYSTICAL NINJA!!!!!!!!!!! Me and my sister played that game everyday for months. LOVE IT!

[@NightFlyStudio]

Finally! Somebody acknowledges Soul Blazer. It's a really great game. One of my favorites.

[@Progearspec]

Out of the trilogy Terranigma is the best one.

[@sonicmario64]

I actually had more fun playing "Soul Blazer" than any of the Final Fantasy games that were released on the SNES.

[@DPeaceful]

Rock N Roll racing is cool game too

[@captstrugglebunny]

I've built and sold collections/individual games and systems so many times in my life. My biggest regret was selling my Game Boy for $20 back in the day. I still have no idea why I did it. Being that it was a Christmas gift a year or two ago, my parents weren't too pleased. The last time I sold my collection was due to moving to a new city to go back to college. I've been moving a lot ever since, so I haven't been able to build a new collection, but if I ever find a place to settle down, especially now since I'm in Japan, I'll be building a new collection.

[@benkenobi6582]

i feel your pain in regards to selling your original collection. Back when i first got my ps2 my mom twisted my arm (after multiple attempts) to donate my ps1 and all my games to charity for a needy kid for Christmas. I know its for a good cause but it was absolutely gut wrenching watching my mom drive off with my collecion.. FF7, 8, 9, Tactics, Chrono Cross, Star Ocean 2, MGS, Bushido Blade 1 and 2, Colony Wars, Intelligent Cube, Marvel Super Heroes vs Capom, Street Fighter Alpha 3, Legend of Dragoon, RE 1, 2, 3, Suikoden 1 and 2 etc.....it was awful. Its taken me years to rebuild my collection.

[@stonaraptor8196]

argh that must have hurt. I don't think i could have forgiven my mom for this. My mom actually trashed my N64 in the late 90', i still hold it against her to this day. Still waiting for her to replace it.

[@ElAlex214]

Damm that sucks, my mother would never do such a thing thanks god. I had most of the ones you mentioned specially the rpgs but i wanted more games and traded everything but the final fantasy ones.

[@eloratings]

Man, back in the day when SNES era day, I broke/unemployed as hell. Thank's to Wii VC in 2008, I could finally embrace the classic games again, although not all good games were there.

[@RiderStrike152]

I've still gotta play a lot of those games. Was just a smidge too young to have much prior exposure to it! Makes me want the SNES mini to play all these heavy hitters. Super glad to have my copies of Link to the Past and Megaman X. Love those games.

[@The8BitDuke]

I am kicking myself for seeing a boxed Paladin's Quest for well under the typical asking price and not springing on it a few weeks ago. Such an underrated game.

[@ElAlex214]

Yes it is, i love the game only problem is that you have to grind the shit out of it. Not like 7th saga at least thats where the true grinding takes place.

[@The8BitDuke]

Yeah, it's a touch too grindy, especially mid-late game IMO. But it's been a few years since I've played it! I've grown to not mind grinding a lot as of late since it's....almost cathartic in some ways. But I remember it being like "okay, let's just.....please....move on"! I'll have to jump back into someday.

[@maximpact24]

Excellent episode Johnny. Was kinda bummed you didn't delve deeper with Illusion of Gaia, I love that game, so good. I can safely say I still have all my old systems and games from way back as a kid to now (minus the boxed d'oh!).

[@volginicity]

Very rare to have all those cardboard game covers intact.

[@caprilaser3]

Excellent video Johnny 👍🏼 I really like collection videos when there are memories and stories behind each one for the individual. Make it feel much more personal. Look forward to seeing more if you decide to do them. Cheers!

[@JazGalaxy]

I love that legend of the mystical ninja is getting more love these days. It's one of the best SNES games and a lot of people never played it.

[@FinalBaton]

The story regarding Super Mario All Stars was great and is so at the very core of the gaming experience : we play to escape reality. To have a wonderful time regardless of what our real life situation looks like at the moment.

[@nookloot6504]

Your extensive coverage, and love for the Dragon Quest series brought me to your channel. My mother in law's 60th birthday is coming soon; she is Japanese, and absolutely loves the series. She had stopped playing the games on the DS, having replayed all of her favorites on the portable, and the (new at the time) Dragon Quest IX. I'm surprising her with a New Nintendo 2DS LL, and the re-releases of VII, VIII, and the upcoming XI for her birthday, as well as the PS4 version of XI, and the complete package of the MMORPG X later this year. This series is important to her, because it connects her to her late husband, who was a major fan of the series as well. I'm an avid JRPG fan myself, but only got to play VIII back in the PS2, recently reengaging with the series on the 3DS (just ordered the english versions for myself, so me and my wife can play alongside my mother in law). Sorry for the big personal text, I just wanted to thank you for all the good information you provided, so I could make sure I was getting her a nice gift. Your passion for gaming is really contagious, and you really helped me out. Please keep it up!

[@Ruudos]

I'm surprised that you don't own Super Mario World.

[@GTV-Japan]

Funny to see holes in the shelf! I appreciate the hardware but never got into SNES like most others. Mainly because I had bad luck that the hardware I had kept breaking so I just moved on. You got a great set of games though

[@Untouchaable]

Best console of all time.

[@John-gq8sy]

You got that right.

[@prox8437]

Either that or NES are my #1

[@ElAlex214]

nes got some decent games but snes have the best games all the way to ps1 era

[@soul71000]

Intimidation To me that would be the N64.

[@ElAlex214]

Not too sure what you trying to go for there but n64 had a limited amount of games in which 30% were sports not that many good titles outside of nintendo games.

[@mikes.228someguy5]

I'm going to go out on a limb and say your collection far exceeds mine. Still happy with my own collection, though. Thanks again for this, man!

[@just_a_saeu88]

Omg, I am excited to play some of these games when my SNES mini arrives! I never had this console and to be able to play the original games on the actual system (albeit a mini version of it), is just some awesome!!!

[@StiffAftermath]

You've got a small fortune there. 2 copies of Ninja Warriors?? Holy sh$%! Demon's Crest, MMX, FFIII, Chrono Trigger...damn Good on you for holding onto these.

[@jonathan2552]

Wow dude talking about playing Super NES games in your 20's actually makes me feel young. Most KZbinrs make me feel old as fuck! (I was born in '81)

[@supergeoff]

I was born in 86

[@jonathan2552]

I kinda wish I'd been born a couple years earlier as I was too young to really get the most out of a lot of the early NES games when we got one and mostly watched my older brothers play them until I got old enough to play them myself, then when I was old enough to be really good at video games the SNES came out and I was like pfft... the NES? Old hat. I didn't even care when my mum gave away our NES and all the games to our cousins. Oh well.

[@christopherkelly577]

Truly the golden age and I agree the prices of USA snes stuff in particular is definitely getting generally so high. Boxed is just not something I even think about now just loose carts and usually buying japanese ones now where I can. Pocky and rocky for example are bout triple the price for the American version over japanese

[@darkhomeyparlett8571]

Love all old classic games no matter what all data I do love all

[@SuperBuu85]

I'd say that's a pretty darn good collection you've got there. I don't even have a single SNES game that still has its box.

[@mrswolls]

I wish i had the boxes from my old games and consoles i couldn't imagine tearing them apart now :(

[@TBelly]

I waited a few days to watch this one Johnny. Great vid (as always)

[@segagenesis1989]

Hehehe! Reading the comments it looks like the 16 bit console wars are alive and well! Anyways, great collection Johnny boy!

[@LaurenceTanusaputra]

Final Fantasy 3 and Chrono Trigger are two of my favorite SNES RPG. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@JebberGamingJaws]

Nintendo was never better than they were with the SNES. So awesome to see what is in your collection more in depth!! Man, I had a Genesis as a kid and as great as it is I really wish I had the SNES also. So many of these games I plan to go back and experience. I really want to play Super Metroid and Mario RPG in particular.

[@DijaVlogsGames]

Double Dungeons is staring at you. It wants its own episode. "Would be a shame if this entire shelf came crashing down, wouldn't it?", it's whistering

[@ElAlex214]

Snes best times ever! I have a little collection of my own for it, not many boxed ones but i have about 400 loose carts which includes the ones in the video. Huge rpg fan, i wish some of them get a remake/remastered version for this generation consoles or next one. Many games can get a remaster but i would really love to see chrono trigger & final fantasy 3 get a remake with some added content.

[@zaug1561]

The 7th Saga was a great game. Once you realize you have to defend before physically attacking to do more damage it becomes easier. I say easier but this is still a very challenging RPG.

[@ScottMurphy76]

Somebody doesn't own DK Country, Super Castlevania 4 or Super Mario World? 😱 also, how bout some more PC Engine videos?

[@shaggydee91]

Dat T-shirt is life......nice vid Johnny Boyy

[@wojiaobill]

how does Johnny have so many impeccable boxes!

[@zacv1288]

Top video and great games selection!

[@calimangrower1590]

Best console ever still have mine hooked up to my home entertainment system

[@GameGalaxyshow]

Johnny thanks for such a great video man!; this was seriously a treat to wake up to. I’ve started my sunday morning with some Final Fight 3. Even though I grew up a wallet chain, leather jacket wearing angry Sega kid (lol) - when I play older games these days I more often keep returning to the Super Nintendo. It’s such a magical system that is video game perfection! I feel you about being stupid as well; I sold many PS2 games at one point that I now regret. Thank you for saying Mystic Quest is charming! because it so is! I still need to play Secret of Mana; really love the idea of the co-op. Demon’s Crest has such incredible artwork. So awesome you have an Earthbound; That’s one I realllllly gotta play as well. It looks so attractive.

[@Ripcord303]

Great episode John I like your collection!

[@Boscoand]

I still have memories of selling my GameCube for 4 wii games haunting me, especially since 2 of those 4 games were cheap ones.

[@umokay1991]

Holy shit am I jealous of that Legend of the Mystical Ninja cart lol The Goemon games are so fun, so funny and MAN do they have incredible soundtracks every time. Some of the best video game music in the business.

[@jayt2917]

I sold my mint copy of ff 3 on the snes first RPG I've ever played when I was a kid biggest mistake of my life .

[@ElAlex214]

I did a lot of trading when i was 12 big mistake for me as well

[@mbelmer85]

When I was 13 I decided to sell my Sega Genesis/Master System collection to pay for a Sega Saturn I wanted desperately... Did a yard sale of it by myself and got swindled out of the entire thing for 35 bucks which I thought at the time was a lot of money. over 30 games including Ys for Master System, all the Sonic games, Shining in the Darkness and more. I regret that more than anything.

[@mcconfusing9961]

In no order. Super Mario bros 3, mega man 2, any cod multiplayer, tony hawk 2, halo 3 gotta be my top five games ever 🤘🏻

[@mcconfusing9961]

Fuck I missed metal gear solid on ps. There are way to many great games you can call it honorable mention or replace it with halo 3

[@interghost]

Great stuff and nice to hear the stories behind the games rather than some guy just saying "Look at all these games I've bought up and how much they are worth!" I do find it sad these days that the SNES games are so expensive. I had around 100 up until quite recently but could not justify 1; having games worth that much sat on my shelf, and 2; paying the money to add to the collection. My all time fav console for sure. But these days I have to play them via Wild Card ;)

[@ravagingwolverine]

Nice to see the new Blade Runner trailer as the ad before this video. I don't like a lot of modern films for various reasons including shaky camera work, but Blade Runner looks well made. I know fans like you have concerns, but I'm liking the direction at least. Nice collection there. SNES is not among my favorites because a lot of its big-name classics do nothing for me. With that said, I enjoy some of the less-popular titles like Ninja Warriors Again. I was glad to see that one emphasized in the video. That's one of my favorites on the system.

[@SolidRaider6]

So welcome back to another episode!

[@bmenson]

hi nice games, i just got snes emulator on my psvita. gonna check some of the games you showed

[@LPlaysGaming]

This channel is my happy place.

[@SPac316]

Good collection there. I guess I could say my SNES collection is much bigger, but you have all of yours in box in near pristine condition, and also have more highly sought after games than I do. I share the same regret of selling/trading off some of my favorite games. But thank goodness I have kept my copy of Earthbound from back in '96. Most games I would like to have are ridiculously expensive. No game is worth that much, I don't care what people would tell me. With your duplicates, perhaps you could trade for two more of those lost games you used to have?

[@Progearspec]

Pretty small snes collection there johnny.Though i don't have much either i had the console for a short time in the 90's before i traded it back.Fews years ago i did import a SFC,while i don't much for it i do have a super everdrive.The flash cart let's me play most of what i want out of it.Also i agree prices for snes games have gotten really expensive.

[@RickxDogg]

I remember selling my old mini snes with all my games including my favorite snes game of all time. Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's island. Don't feel bad Johnny. I'm sure we all did it at one point in our gaming lives.

[@mcconfusing9961]

Good collection and a great video 🤘🏻

[@dark_antihero]

i sold alot of my gameboy color and advanced games back when i was young. still regret it to this day

[@TheRetroMess]

0:20 Sounds like what I did with the majority of my collection before I got into collecting seriously. I was one of those buy/sell at Funcoland kids and I'd imagine my original NES, SNES, and N64 are long gone, in someone's basement, or in a pile at a landfill, or separated into various levels of ownership by now. 1:45 Holy crap. you're older than me? You really don't look it. I would have pegged you at early 30s.

[@Jdawg8811]

Yeah I wish I woulda kept my pong TV game, Atari, nes, Snes, Sega genesis, and PS2. Alot of great memories all out in the wild now.

[@arcadeutopia3035]

Absolutely loving it

[@MikeCatrone]

Great collection man, I've always loved Breath of Fire 2 on Snes. so many good rpgs

[@babychewbacca9211]

The 7th saga, I remember never beating it. I was 8 or 9 trying to play but I was so bad at rpgs.

[@TheInternetIsDeadToMe]

I used to trade in all my old systems so I could buy newer systems. It's the only way I could afford them all back then. I often think I wish I'd have kept them all. I've managed to buy most of them back but a lot of them are now pretty expensive.

[@ElAlex214]

That used to be me (crying face)

[@wookieattack558]

Cartercus yeah that's how it was, I sold my game gear to get a nomad then I got rid of the nomad lol was all over the place

[@Gigastorm24]

I own snes games and super famicom(mainly anime based games) games in my collection. I collected snes on and off since 1997 !! A lot of good games and good times. Before I always played the snes at friends homes. then in 1997 a friend gave me a super famicom gundam game and showed me how to get it to fit in the snes !! so I bought a system and the rest is history !! :D You can look around on ebay and find games for cheap from time to time !!

[@josephhuffman2757]

The only snes game I have the box for is turtles in time but its mangled real bad. Your boxes all look fantastic.

[@danmurdo2173]

Great Collection!

[@supergeoff]

Awesome ,I have bunch of Super nes games in my collection from AtoZ

[@OriasX]

I like to keep price tags on snes and nes games that i buy because it kinda adds to the history of the game. I'm too scared to remove them anyway

[@SwashBuccaneer]

Loved Soul Blazer and Illusion of Gaia.

[@sammylane21]

UN SQUADRON needs to find it's way back into the eShop for 3ds and Switch players as that game uber levels of hard and fun too!

[@UltraHealthyVideoGameNerd]

I respect the fact that you only have a (relatively) small number of games in good condition that you clearly love. I agree that Soulblazer is one of the best games ever, made by Quintet. FF Mystic Quest definitely isn't an action RPG though.

[@BADMiND]

Still need to get a copy of Ninja Warriors... that sucker got expensive lol

[@sammylane21]

Ever notice how in the box art for LEGEND OF THE MYSTICAL NINJA shows your hero riding on a Tiger that is NOT in the actual game??

[@williambourque926]

It is in the game... it's only during the side-scrolling sections and if I remember right you have to purchase it from shops.

[@blackrambo7417]

I just got the super famicom in Japan! I got all the best Super Famicom games to go with it!
