@@KurodaKyousuke , lovely, thanks! Regarding the list, I love how of both of the Mario games are together at 4 and 5, the third Mario game is divided from the other two by Metroid (which is a good game in its own right, but not one of my personal favorites on the console). Even the top 10 here is endless gameplay. Special shoutout to SMK. Overall, a very solid list!

Also, Street Fighter

@Travis Edwards I like Secret of Mana a lot, but yeah I had a hard time getting into it at first too. It really is worth it once you get into it though.

[@Xehemoth]

Super Mario RPG's impact on my life growing up in the 90s cannot be understated. Its almost like I was born in 1985 just to appreciate this game at the perfect age.

[@dan7291able]

um ... every single word you just said applies to me, im speechless lol, it was the perfect storm its insane, RIGHT before mario 64 too

[@Vahn421]

I'm in the same boat. Also born in 1985. I've been committed to Mario since birth, and no game has brought the Mario crew to life like Mario RPG did, even over 25 years later.

[@richardwicker8456]

I remember spending all summer playing Super Mario RPG back when it first came out. I think I had just finished 4th grade at the time, and this game was one of the most memorable games I played during my childhood.

[@colbysmith8902]

Same. First rpg I got into

[@dizneydoby1438]

Same. Agreed!

[@BiggFinalBoss]

I remember having friends sleepover party for the entire weekend. We played Chrono Trigger, Zelda, Mortal Kombat, and other awesome games from start to finish. We would take turns sleeping at night and playing the game continuously. Only waking each other up on Saturday night for important story lines or boss fights. Sunday afternoon our parents would finally come pick us up from the house we stayed at for the weekend. Man that was some fun times as a kid! We were always good friends that loved comic books and games. We were amazed when one of our group had the internet! It was like a new dimension of space and time. ... God I'm old. I have Chrono Trigger on my phone! Once in a blue moon I start it up and pass a mission. The music always makes me smile!

[@sanjitter]

Schalas theme cuz she ‘never been’

[@Dalmatinac3]

i had fun playing marbles in the sand, and running outside with friends, riding bikes in old European towns. Staying out all day, playing cops and robbers, no parents around, no fear of kidnapping, kids were out all day with no worries. We had no video games, and we had the best time of our lives.

[@acidwizard6528]

That sounds like a lot of fun.

[@chikuman6224]

gosh.....even i love the time u had...thank u for sharing

How is it on your phone? Forgive me, I'm old too. Lol.

[@nathanc6516]

I personally think Yoshi's Island is one of the best 2D platformer games of all time, not just on the system. It's graphics and game play still hold up with games released today, and it's stages are amazing.

[@deesplayworldtv]

Yeah I had both Mario rpg and Yoshi’s island. Beat em both but it’s way too hard to say which was better. It started for me with that very first sound on Mario World. That was my “you had me at hello” moment. Lol

[@jasonleveck8546]

The SNES had a ton of horsepower left on the bone. Nintendo has always tamped down the power of these consoles. There were actually prototypes being developed that could be upgraded by the at home or end user, similarly to PC's. I'd like to have seen that. I wonder what the SNES could've been had Nintendo gone that route instead of the N64. In that era the push for polygonal graphics was all but irresistible. There was so much more that could've been done with that system, that it feels like the boat really got missed. Big N got to far out ahead in some ways with the 64 and the industry wasn't really ready yet.

[@SeanSpencerNekoEspirito]

I have to say, I feel fortunate that I grew up during the early to mid 90's era of gaming. Ocarina of Time, Chrono Trigger, multiple Final Fantasy titles, great sport titles. Story, innovation, exciting gameplay, it really felt like a truly golden age of gaming that for better or worse may never be repeated.

[@jasonleveck8546]

I'm saddened by the realization that we won't get back to that level.

[@brianfeldkamp6367]

Super Mario RPG will forever be my all time favorite game. Made a huge impact on my life as a kid growing up in the 90's. Great list!

[@ManWeeZ1]

So repayable, from your first run making everyone balanced, then a magic or straight attack only run to trying to get as overpowered as possible. Hands down one of the best games... This list is nostalgic to its max and I implore any gamer to play most on this list.

[@shoro12]

My #1 for the SNES has and forever will be Super Mario RPG, and finding this video just now and seeing you have the same exact opinion is pretty awesome. It's the first game I've ever played that truly got me addicted to playing a videogame; when I was 9 years old, I would literally walk to my friend's house (where I first played it) every day just to play the game (I'm 32 now).

@@Ilovewatchingsupernaturalparan you're crazy but it's your opinion. I had a genesis and my brother had a snes so I would always stick up for sega and act like I had the better system but inside I knew the snes was far and away the much better system. the voices are always garbled regardless of the game and the graphics are just always better. I think aladdin was the only game where the genesis version was better than the snes version

[@willyismynam]

Whoever you are kuroda, we have extremely similar tastes. I also love how much you props you gave our believed jrpgs, although id respectfully place ff6 way higher up, and switch chrono trigger and Mario rpg, as the latter was just so short a game (level 30 max was just not cool for me) , as awesome as it was. Great list, youre doing the lords work

Praise Jesus! 🙏🏻 Thanks for the kind words!

[@pierre-andregaumond6871]

I love your list and was wondering what could beat Chrono Trigger for number 1 but when you revealed Super Mario RPG I totally agreed. All these games bring back so many emotions. SNES is my favorite console aswell :)

[@UriyahRecords]

Honestly that's a solid list. I put Chrono Trigger 1, then Super Mario RPG 2nd in my personal list. We can both agree SNES is the best Gaming Console of all time, no debate😊

[@abcd-jl2tl]

This is such a great video! I remember watching my older cousin play Illusion of Gaia when I was like 6 years old. Although I have never remembered the name or been able to describe it well enough for anyone to know what I was talking about. I am so glad I watched this video, and it was so simple without any of that annoying pizazz you get on so many reviews these days. I'm going to get myself a real SNES and get some a classic gaming collection started, you've inspired me! I am such a 90's person Thanks!

[@whyistheresky]

Hey, man! Your content is super good and this video has been edited lovely!! I just subbed to your channel. Your script is good and I enjoy very much your sense of humor. I do I want to point one thing out, though. There are a lot of little hesitations and obvious spots where you stopped and comp-ed in. Maybe make your comps tighter and try to eliminate hesitations in your delivery. It makes your narration a little choppy and that creates a bit of a distraction while watching. Maybe I notice things most people don’t; I just wanted to let you know! I love what you’re doing. You’ve got a new fan here.💕

[@dingdongism]

I noticed this, as well, but was unable to use such technical language as you did in describing it. It was distracting but I thought it was simply his manner of speech. If this is indeed a technical problem, I'd suggest addressing it as @J A suggests. If you just speak this way, no worries and great content :)

[@KurodaKyousuke]

If you see the other videos I have done since then (The Castlevania videos in particular) I have definitely improved. This was my first really big script that I narrated and you can definitely hear it. Hahaha

Secret of Mana will always be my #1 SNES pick but I absolutely understand putting Super Mario RPG as your #1, it's one of those jewels that I still go back and play through regularly. Really enjoyed your entire list, quality rankings and there is not a game on the list I do not recall fondly.

[@viks2731]

Wow, what a wonderful trip down memory lane! Those music choices took me back and brought back memories I thought were long gone! I think I’m a bit older than you because I remember the US launch of the SNES. My copy of Mario World is def a pack-in with the console that we got on launch…which is still functioning just fine, thankfully. This was a great list! Of your choices, I pretty much played everything expect the JRPGs. Now I know what I missed out on. Thank you for this! And thank you EverDrive so I can catch up on those missed titles without having to pay the current prices for those FF games lol

[@iggylavis1729]

I remember as a kid I would be playing Chrono Trigger and Super Mario RPG and both my little sisters would spend the whole afternoon watching me play. Those were really chill times.

[@KurodaKyousuke]

Similar story. I remember my siblings doing the same, and playing Super Mario World and Donkey Kong Country 2 with them.

[@Vahn421]

I agree with Mario RPG as a #1 pick for basically the same reasons as you. It changed my life and introduced me to RPG's as a child. I had no idea who Squaresoft was prior. I still cry when I watch the ending of that game today.

My favorites include some you didn't mention, like the many iterations of Street Fighter 2 (which I enjoyed much more than Killer Instinct), F-Zero, Super Ghouls n' Ghosts, Earthworm Jim (1 and 2), the Megaman X games, NBA Jam, and Star Fox. With that said, there are still a ton of titles I haven't even played yet... even all these years later.

Secret of Mana is pretty good, but Secret of Evermore blows it out of the water entirely! I was particularly pleased with your top 3, as those would probably be my top 3 as well, just in a slightly different order.

I like the intro, how it starts with the music and information before you begin to speak about it. Information such as when it was launched etc. One thing you should improve, is speaking with more enthusiasm, it makes most people bored and not excited about what you're saying. Try to add in little jokes here and there, for example showing a broken nintendo character and saying how broken it was compared to one of the best on the list. Overall, great video Rob. As you know, I've been your subscriber since you had 20-30. And I liked how you kinda did that by saying "Cowabunga dudes!" when you introduced TMNT.

[@stygianradiance3199]

Definitely agree nin. Although i can tell rob did try pretty hard to improve his narration in this one so he is trying i think. Lol

[@KurodaKyousuke]

I feel like I naturally have a rather monotone voice, so I am definitely aware of what your saying. I I've definitely been trying very hard to improve my voice overs in general, and I think like you said adding a lot of humorous moments in this video was a good idea. I'll keep working on it though. :)

[@simplenin9871]

Kuroda Kyousuke alright, thanks for responding!

[@theadd_gamer1182]

Seeing your #1 was a treat! I love that game so much! Truly a masterpiece of a game! Super Mario RPG Legend of the Seven Stars! The good ole days!

[@nedhallmark5750]

This is sweet Man!

[@KurodaKyousuke]

Thanks dude! I appreciate you watching! :)

[@colindunham5717]

Your list is pretty good. I was an early adopter of the Super NES, got it on launch. Still have it to this day.

[@idiots30]

Great list! It's missing Shadowrun, though! :0

[@michaelbenti5383]

Yeah Shadowrun was a pretty amazing game.

[@idiots30]

@@michaelbenti5383 The Genesis counterpart was fun as hell too.

[@Vilavek]

Great video and presentation, subbing and definitely going to have a look at your other videos. 👌

[@KurodaKyousuke]

Hey! Thank you so much for the positive feedback! I'm currently working on a video about the history of Rareware, as well as a top 10 games by them. I have a bunch of other ideas for videos like this so I really appreciate the support! :)

[@jwswish21]

Final Fantasy IV: 9:29 The song played here is reused in Super Mario RPG in the secret boss fight against Culex. Which is actually included in the video at 27:27

[@bxflo210]

Great list in my opinion you should do honorable mentions like megaman x street fighter 2 even mortal kombat just saying

[@KurodaKyousuke]

I had thought about doing honorable mentions, but this video took forever to edit. Ahaha

[@Brice23]

Good to see Tetris Attack get a bit of attention. I became obsessed with it for a few years and developed quite a high degree of skill. The mechanics are so unique, nothing like it has ever existed. The satisfaction of pulling off long skill chains and huge combos created a fascination in my mind for how the algorithms within the game must have been structured. I then embarked on a mission to create a clone of it for PC, and that process was even more captivating than the game itself was.

[@UnitNo.2]

Oh and the SNES had some of the best soundtracks ever.

[@mikeychainsaw9760]

Real conversation

[@jimboramba]

Back when games were just games. You plug it in and it does what it's supposed to do. No internet connection, updates, microtransactions, etc. I'll always have a "nostalgia corner" wherever I live with a crt tv and a nice comfy couch with NES, SNES, Genesis, N64 and PS1 with an original Game boy and a game boy advance sp.

[@shaunkennedy174]

FINALLY! Someone recognizes FF4! That was the my first final fantasy game as well and god damn it’s awesome, FF6 is also pretty damn great so far (Currently playing through it for the first time on my SNES mini), but the 4th game will always hold a special place in my heart. It genuinely suprises and upsets me how little I see FF4 mentioned when it comes to discussing the most classic RPGs to date, everyone can’t stop talking about ff7 or ff6 to even realize my boi Cecil exists :(

[@sabin97]

i'd recommend a real emulator instead of the snes mini. the wii classic controller is the closest match to the snes original controller....and there's an adapter to make it usb. it works great on all emulators

[@shaunkennedy174]

sabin97 yeah man I’d love a real Emulator but don’t currently have access to a pc, and I’m on iOS, so the mini is all I really have unfortunately

[@cleanestbestpleasure14]

FF4 is a great game. Both 4 and 6 were some of my favorites on the SNES.

[@themlh7037]

I beat the majority of every game on your list and loved them all. But the fact you ended with the only snes game that I have beat over and over is awesome to me. Super Mario RPG is the reason I became a mostly RPG player back in the day. But you didn't have a several games I would have had on the list. Like Biker Mice from Mars, Gradious 3, bubsy, aero the acrobat and batman returns ( the best beatum up game of all time ) Great vid, enjoyed watching very much.

[@prometheustv6558]

My favorite will always be Earthbound.

[@KurodaKyousuke]

Oh man, I could go on and on about EarthBound. At one time it may have been #1.

[@psiness7341]

@@KurodaKyousuke such a great game that never got the needed attention it deserved

[@KurodaKyousuke]

It's such a wonderful game and I'll always treasure it

[@AvalonEndures]

This was a good video and jam packed with dad jokes 😂. There are many games on this list I've never played, but I will now.

[@scaggly9239]

Killer Instinct is the game that introduced fighting combos to the video game arena. Too bad KI died out early.

[@jeffreyszcinskiii5181]

great stuff! even some games i had not heard of. Always cool to get a glimpse of someone else's childhood growing up with this thing. Thanks for making this!

[@Canady182]

Surprising to see ALttP so low on a Best SNES Games list. It's my favorite Zelda game ever, and in my Top 3, maybe even Top 2 favorite games ever. While the original TLOZ was a game-changing, monumental moment in gaming, ALttP was also far ahead of its time - moreso than TLOZ. But I can understand why it might not gel with everyone. It certainly doesn't hold your hand, and can be extremely challenging at times as well as slow at other times. But those are all things I absolutely love about it. Great list, glad the almighty algorithm recommended this video to me. Definitely subscribing!

[@ismailtoprakci9593]

You're voice and style is so good, that i can see this video 1000 times! ❤❤❤

[@jblack3097]

Those were all awesome picks and thanks for that upload, brings back lots of memories. B.O.B. was also a great one to add to that list!!:)

[@bish0p3473]

Great list! You really brought me back in many ways. So many great memories of great times. Square and Enix were really on fire in this console gen. Also, so many memories of games being released complete in one purchase.

[@migsencarnado2261]

I beg to differ on illusion of gaia.i think you shouldve put illusion of gaia 2 or much better known as terranigma.

[@gadpivs]

I'll never understand why it's so hard to find videos showing these games being played on a CRT. It looks like that's what was used for this video and it makes the games look way better.

[@asnella]

I received the super NES so late in the life cycle of the console that it came with Super Mario RPG! Naturally this became my favorite game of all time and the reason I still play RPGs. Big love to your number and excellent taste!

[@kevinarmes9804]

What a cool video. Love Tetris Attack. Ever played Kirby's Avalanche? Also love the music in Chrono Trigger. I cannot believe I never played that or SM RPG. Great vid!

[@KurodaKyousuke]

Thanks! Kirby's Avalanche is really good. Its Puyo Puyo Tetris in Japan, which is on the Switch SNES game shop now. Also, you muuuuuuuust play SMRPG!

[@HindsightWithHustle]

Your number One Pick is my favorite snes game of all time. You earned my subscription kind sir

[@ryanfernandez6465]

One of the greatest retro console.. love the list! Legend of zelda for me is my no 1 in my heart

[@cheezits3632]

This may be my exact same games on my top 20 list, maybe a few switching places but thats semantics. great list!

[@mikeschaeffer7262]

Man... this brings back some good memories

[@ToHigherConsciousness]

great video! so many games i had not even heard of

[@willh1655]

One holiday, me and my 2 brothers, received Super Metroid, Super Punch-out and Final Fantasy 3. What a wonderful Christmas that was.

[@lordchrisderson5964]

You got your SNES right around the same time as me but i think i was younger. I can tell you are a true player salute to you my bro. You are just like me if i had been able to keep up with my Nintendo. Life got crazy and i got seperated from it and 30+ games.😭 I haven't played all the games on this list but i have played most and as for the games I haven't played im gonna take your word for it 😉 This list gets two thumbs up and one big toe from me!
