SORRY GAMESPOT! Didn't mean to single you out. I just needed a video of someone pronouncing SNES *that* way. Thanks for watching, everyone! Next on the agenda will be the PS2! FINALLY.

[@RickyRicardo03]

They had it coming 🤙

[@RAWestover]

PS2! Don't forget the fun Easter egg in the credits of Summoner. It's hilarious!

[@misterblakk3690]

I remember Joe Hendry used to say it that way all the time. But to be fair, Gamespot can't suplex you so...fair decision.

[@preyingocelotgames4397]

The Bouncer was a launch title right?

[@aeris2001]

It was very common for UK people in general.

[@atootaholoooloh8053]

"Say the line, TripleJump!" "Oh yeah, here we go, Sports Time!" "Yaaaaaaay!"

[@michaelkeller5927]

I said that out loud when I clicked on the video lol

[@Mirko02j]

You can hear that sports time line at 6:39 its so hilarious XD

[@dixiep33]

Oh yeah! Here we go! Sports time! We need that on a t-shirt!

[@Goldikay]

YES! And I WILL BUY IT lol

OMG YES!

There where and are several

[@CulturePhilter]

You know, a good follow up to this series (once you’ve run out of consoles to play the launch games off) would be playing the last 10 games officially released on each console.

[@SkitBitProduction]

Sport games 😂

[@caseydonovan1216]

Yesssss

[@BrokenBeats94]

lol the last 10 PS2 games would just be FIFA and Pro Evo games from 2008-2014

[@CulturePhilter]

@@BrokenBeats94 that’s a lot of “Sports Time!” From Ben. Hmm 🤔 maybe the list could be “last 10 games from [insert console here] that weren’t sports titles” 😄

[@BrokenBeats94]

@@CulturePhilter haha 100% it’s a great idea as consoles have some great swab songs! Couple that come to mind are God of War 2 and Rogue Galaxy (outside of Japan) on the PS2

judging by the fact i never saw mario going that fast i don't think they even knew how to sprint in the first place

this guy plays mario like he's never played a mario game before

Anything "being done at night" to "avoid organized crime" doesn't quite pass the smell test.

Yeah that didn't make sense to me to either lol Maybe so it was in secret and unexpected? Or maybe it isn't true at all..

[@logan_sunday]

The own goal sound of "oh no" in Super Soccer was and still is constantly used with my friends and I whenever anyone makes the tiniest of mistakes.

[@worken360]

Super R-type, F-zero, Pilot Wings, Super Mario world. What a launch Super Nintendo had, I remember it like yesterday.

[@MichaelPastz]

Oh boy SPORTS TIME

[@matt12a]

Did you hear it In the sim city 69ers stadium.

[@marybonner7432]

I love that Ben just waited for that joke. He's just the best.

[@BiscuitMerchant]

I loved this list. I grew up with the SNES and this was one hell of a nostalgia trip.

[@cgimovieman]

Always makes me chuckle to hear people of a certain age talk about the NES and SNES. I don’t think Ben was even alive when the SNES came out. But I was, and was 12 when it did. It’s hard to explain just how crazily epic this system was when appeared. I can remember back in the pre-internet days of 1991 when you just had 3-4 gaming magazines for info, or word of mouth, even as someone like me who was HUGE into gaming, I never even heard about the SNES until it was already out. I showed up that year at my parents’ friend’s summer cottage (who had more money than we did) and their two sons had brought the new SNES there and were playing Super Mario World. Blew…my…mind! Having growing up with an Atari 2600 and (very late in the game) a NES, it looked like they had control of a cartoon. Right then and there I became absolutely determined to get a SNES as soon as I possibly could. Just being a kid, I had no job, but I collected pop cans around my small town for their 10¢ deposits in Michigan, saved every small bit of my allowances, sold some of my toys at garage sales, and just asked for money from my relatives when my birthday or Christmas rolled around. I got my SNES fairly early in its run that year it came out, and it became the greatest era of video games I ever was a part of. I can remember spending Friday or Saturday nights at my friend Ian’s house, or vice-a-versa at my place, and the two of us would bring our games to the other’s house, rent a few more games, and we’d play games into the night until after midnight. As some new systems came out, I sold some of my others consoles, but I still have that original SNES to this day, in its original box with paperwork and plastic bags, and 5 of my original games, also still with their boxes, papers, and plastic bags, all in perfect condition. I loved that system THAT much, and still do. It’s funny to me how older consoles and games are worth so much money now, but I’d never sell mine. In fact, once or twice a year I still pull it out, hook it up, and play those games. I only wish I had some of the other games I used to have for it back, along with some of the extras like Mario Paint mouse and mousepad, and the Super Scope 6.

[@nickneuharth]

“I am spending any time on it” I had no idea that is what that was from and I say it all the time thanks to Ben and TP

[@reecerox2]

HAHAHAHAH THE BOB KATTER REFERENCE IS A++++ omfg I love you TripleJump

[@nickmetcalfe4536]

this was great- thanks Triple Jump, extra points for the Bob Katter clip, he's a fun character. Super Tennis is good when you get the hang of it, for the best tennis game look for Virtua Tennis on Dreamcast!

[@rickyrosay33977]

1:33 oh hell yeah that soundtrack

[@sherman128]

Wish we could get some sort of table or something, I'd like to see how the average scores compare across consoles.

[@eo8240]

The Bob Kattar clip was surprising and appreciated

[@bjay8713]

I thought I had hit next video by mistake lol

[@BlinksAwakening]

I'm genuinely surprised by how well the graphics of PilotWings holds up. It's a shame there were so few SNES games that took advantage of the mode7 "3D" capabilities. I think that style could still have a place in gaming today, but you know with improved framerate and resolution. Would love to see something new in that style appear again.

[@BigMooseHoe]

As a 32 year old avid retro gamer I've always known of Pilot Wings but never played it. Or so I thought. Seeing this footage unlocked deep memories of playing that game a ton with my friends when i must have been 3-5 years old.

[@Swedishtrex]

These are just getting better and better, and more and more hilarious. Favourite series on yt!

[@wyzeguy6]

The first console I ever owned! Still go back and play some SNES from time to time. Thanks for doing this video!

[@aintbeenhome2105]

Could barely believe my eyes when Bob Katter appeared in a triple jump video. But pleased. Very pleased.

[@PhoeniksStorm]

Super Mario World was appearently rushed. Can you imagine if they hadn't. Maybe it would've been even better. Or awful

[@iceman00behave]

@@Gatorade69 It's not that weird, there are plenty of people out there that feel the same way. A good case can be made for both games. Also, it's funny to think about how this game was rushed, compared to modern games that are rushed. These days, after a game has gone through multiple patches, it's sometimes practically a different game than the (often broken) one that was originally released.

[@MGAnimatorX1]

Then they did great for a rushed game.

[@benn454]

@@Gatorade69 For me, it's a tossup between 3 and World. It's like trying to pick between your children.

[@paulwkinson566]

@@Gatorade69 smb3 was a masterpiece but I found it had zero replay value, for me smw is still the most fun iv had from a Mario game followed by sm64

[@desertrat90]

Would be great to see at the end of each of these videos where the average score for the launch games ranks against the other consoles you've done so far. Anyway, love this series!

[@s4tchm0j0n3s]

The SNES version of Sim City was the only one I technically ever 'finished'. 10 year old me was chuffed to bits. I knew there and then it was a feat I'd never be arsed to do again, and 26 years later, I still believe that. The urge to destroy takes over too quickly.

[@kriscynical]

I had (and _still_ have since I never got rid of any of my childhood gaming stuffs) Super Tennis and even at 10 years old I never had a problem of knowing when to swing my racket; it was just something you learned the feel for. 🤷‍♀️ I have a lot of fond memories of playing this one with my mom.😊

[@user-pg5ic3cs5q]

Oh yeah here we go sports time 6:39

[@ARIXANDRE]

I felt my endorphin levels go up with that F Zero music.

[@matt12a]

That wide screen mod looks dope as hell!!!!

[@Ivotas]

6:39 you are a comedy genius! Hat's off to you sir.

[@djhabibi04]

5:31 You should see Shirley's face when you get a perfect 100 point score. Sure it was supposed to be funny but it terrified the hell out of me.

[@Mrfruitchew]

This video inspired me to do a "no run" run in super Mario land

[@iceman00behave]

Everyone knows that when it comes to 2D Mario, the thumb is locked on to the Y button AT ALL TIMES.

[@strykah92]

@@iceman00behave 7 out of the 11 official 2D Mario games didn’t use a ‘Y’ button. (To be clear, I know what you meant, just some fun trivia.)

[@Yipper64]

9:04 idk ive kinda been loving super Rtype personally. Its kind of by the books and simple but thats just what makes it appealing to me.

[@erictheded]

These vids are probably my favorite series of yours lately. Gonna be sad when you run out of consoles. Maybe next you do can the games that came out the year a console was discontinued. You know, milk it dry.

[@chriscooke109]

The top two photo's at 12:18 show Duke Nukem to be a member of the audience... groovy!

I was going to say that I doubt Ben is *actually* playing these games, but then he named his Sim City "Triple69" and I knew right then and there that this was our boy.

0:37 0:38 was a great impression by the way.

[@WheresPoochie]

Got way too high and binged your entire series. Much appreciated.

[@unosturgis]

You were so proud of that "bless you" hahahah

[@theoldpcgamer77]

Loved my Super Famicom import. RGB scart wired, ready to go. Then when i plugged it in my tv although RGB scart enabled was just old enough to only display it in black and white as it is an NTSC RGB signal 🤦 so i had to go out and buy a new 21" tv to play. Final fight was the game i had with it initially.

[@lukecatterson1959]

That nostalgia hit when the super mario world music was played though 😍

[@RetroRuss]

Most consoles might have 1 or 2 hits at first, but for the SNES, almost every launch game is a highly regarded classic.

[@writingratty]

Awesome! Friday night is alright!

[@Science_afterhours]

Do you know what would be good at the end of these? Just a ranking of all the consoles by their percentage. But as always great work by all.

[@oaktownklaygrounds5514]

Still the greatest console of all time. Most games aged perfectly, and still look damn good. Link to the past, Super Mario World/Kart, Super Metroid, Ken Griffey presents major league baseball, Chrono Trigger, DK Country 1-3, Secret of Mana, Mega Man X, FF3, Mario RPG, Rock n Roll Racing, Contra 3, NBA Jam, TMNT Turtles in time, MK 3, Street Fighter 2, Killer Instinct, Earthbound, Madden series, Pilotwings, F-Zero, Zombies ate my neighbors, etc... I can keep going but you get my point. GOAT console with GOAT games!!

[@nsignific]

I had SMW, Pilotwings and Super Tennis and they were all fantastic. Still are, in my opinion.

[@waynerafferty1048]

Cant believe its 30 years since the Snes came out. I still own my SNES i bought in 1991 with all launch titles which i still play today .gaming since 1983 i have to say the SNES is the greatest console ever made

[@barbequerbarbarian]

Love the SNES, first console I had, some of my favorite games to this day were on it.

[@marafolse8347]

Gradius 3 was actually one of the games I had on my SNES, and I quite liked it. I recommend the Konami code though if you want to have a good time.

Fun story: when my neighborhood friend got Sim City for his SNES, none of us understood that the point of the game was to build the city. We thought the point of the game was to destroy the city. We would unleash every possible natural disaster upon every city, and what the natural disasters did not claim, we simply bulldozed down. Those poor Sims.

[@hjames78]

Lol the soccer is funny. The ball isnt even in the goal and its being called 🤣🤦🏾‍♂️

It’s probably fair to mention that the SNES came bundled with Super Mario World in North America at no extra charge. So it’s sales numbers are a little bit inflated.
