I absolutely love the snes. It takes me back to my childhood every time i play it. Thanks for the recommendations. Can't wait to try them.

It's sad that if it wasn't for emulation, a huge portion of these games would be forgotten & effectively dead forever 😮😢

It’s like after 15 years the game disappears (rare) or it becomes free via emulation… whatever

THANK YOU. Finally someone who gives SNES Jurassic Park the callout it deserves. Honestly, the soundtrack ALONE is easily among the best on the system, and will stay with you for decades - it sure did for me, since 1993. The whole experience is CLOSER to the book in ways than the film ever was. I really love it - one of my top 5 all-timers.

Robotrek was another underrated SNES game. Build your own robots, give them custom programs for special attacks, and build equipment and items you learn to make via books you find throughout the game. Grid-based RPG battle system with a fun story and fun characters.

It's good that retro gaming is experiencing such a renaissance. There are plenty of consoles that allow you to play gems. I love 16 bit, all these metroids and castlevania are just brilliant. The 2D graphics have aged very nicely and are definitely pleasing to the eye. And if it weren't for all these emulators, these games would be forgotten history and now it's possible that more people play them than back then.

OMG I LOVED METAL WARRIORS AS A KID!!! i could never remember the name of it. brother and i spent countless hours playing that game and vs mode was always heated. Plus destructible environments was so awesome for the time period!

@Proximoprod Жыл бұрын

Man the nost underrated SNES game by far is NINJA WARRIORS. It's a side-scrolling beat 'em up and when you play with Ninja you have like 12 different attack moves! While in games like Streets of rage you have 3 attack moves!! The graphics are phenomenal, the gameplay is phenomenal, the enemies are phenomenal! It's just sooooo underrated!!

@blackenedheart9592 8 ай бұрын

You know, i never noticed it before but that golf type kirby game is laid out almost like ps1 and ps2 tactical rpgs. I wonder now, if they could've actually made a game like that for the SFC/SNES? Have a playing field like that, and use the 3d mode 7 effects like they did in Chrono Trigger to turn the screen around! Dude, that would've been amazing back then!

I keep seeing Demon's Crest on these underrated and even best of lists. The game was considered terrible when it was released. It even managed negative sales one week, more people returned it to stores than bought it.

Okay, but you're using a lot of footage that isn't from the SNES versions of the games, which isn't ideal.

@ArnoldGontijo 3 ай бұрын

The "Sunset Riders" version shown on the video is the arcade one. The SNES version has many differences, including the fact that the system does not allow you to play in a team of four. Not to mention the graphics and the censorship of some elements, for example the absence of the cowgirl in a pink miniskirt that throws the stick of dynamite... and the sex workers.

Sam Sho had a lot more animation and flash than AoF, so Takara kept the sprites small in order to retain the entire cast, and animations were mostly kept intact, or as much as possible from the arcade game.
