Good vid but I'd strongly argue for SF2 Turbo rather than SF2. Apart from including the bosses and various gameplay upgrades and additions, its speed is much more reminscient of a modern game. As monumental as it was, the original SF2 feels a bit sluggish by today's standards.

I know Turbo is more popular than Super in the States, but I have to mention it is the superior SF2 version on the SNES. The first thing you will say now is that the speed sucks, but it is adjustable in the main menu. Other than that, more characters, more moves for each characters, more game modes, better graphics and better sound. Besides that, Alpha 2 (or Zero 2) it is crazy that this game even runs on the SNES Hardware.

A few years ago, I made the mistake of dusting off my Zelda - Link to the Past to give it a go again. I got so hooked that I fell behind on other priorities, work took a hit, etc. It was a bit scary, I had to hide the game away again for the “greater good”.

All 8-bit and 16-bit games that were good back in the day are just as good now. It's only PS1-PS2 era games that might not have aged well due to the graphics being 3D. Even so, some of them are still great games (like ff7,ff9, gt4, dq8, gow ,etc)

Loved when after you beat the game, then the world flips to the dark world and you have to fight new monsters and the worlds becoming slightly different in areas and going between time to traverse certain parts!...BRILLIANT game.

Growing up with Nintendo was great from 5 to 12 i had the nes then then from 12 to 18 snes then 64 and the ps1 . Games like supermario world And donkey kong country i wish kids today could feel the feelings i had seeing and hearing that game for the first time in that era. Every year some new tech or graphics came out. I think the golden age ended when we could play arcade perfect games at home as back then that was tge ultimate dream to have arcade quality at home. So lucky i was as an 80s 90s kid i turned 18 a month before new years eve 99 which is drinking age where i from. Who knew at the time those were the golden years for the world 88 to 08

Great selection of cult classics I could only agree with. Maybe I was only surprised to see Shining Force II in this top ten. It is a great and excellent game of course but I would have personnally replaced it by Final Fantasy VI or by Zombies ate My Neighbors in retro games top ten. Such choices are pretty arguable too though... However, that does not change anything to the fact that your proposed selection here is a top notch one. Proof of concept is, all these games were hacked over and ver multiple times to improve their original experience (if not event, in some attempts to propose "the definitive version of the game"). Well, all of them but Gunstar Heroes, maybe (improving anything to Gunstar Heroes is quite hard - not sure of what exactly could be improved with this one)...

Great Video! It’d be an IP nightmare to get all the titles in this video in one console, but WOW what a console this would be! I get my retro fix via the SNES Classic. It has 5 of these titles (SMWorld, Zelda:Link, SF2, MegamanX, SMetroid) and then some suitable substitutes for others. Contra3 for ChronoTrigger, Secret of Mana or MarioRPG for ShiningForce. Alas Ghosts&Gouls or DKCountry don’t hold up to StreetsOfRage2 and there’s no true puzzle game like the masterpiece that is Testris , but not a bad fair considering it has a few kart racers, 2 StarFox games, SPunchOut and SCastlevania4. I love these retro condensed consoles and this video list would be a lot of gamers dreams come true. 🔥😎🔥

Your #1 is a good choice too. But actually, Street Of Rage Remake from Bomber Games is MUCH better than the three original SoR Games. It's simply a huge love letter to any fans of the series. Totally must play value !!!

Lets be honest, since it was released Streets of Rage 2 was the solid gold standard for side scrolling beat em ups and was only ever dethroned by Streets of Rage 4!

If we are talking console releases only, I got to say Turtles in Time for me was more enjoyable, but still SoR2 was up there. If we include arcade releases as well, it wasn't even top ten, with things like Alien vs Predator, The Punisher, Cadillacs and Dinosaurs, just to name a few, kicking its butt all day long
