[@mooks500]

Thats a lot of games

[@doom5895]

chrisgond THANK YOU

[@Lovuschka]

And some classics and really interesting unknown games are missing, such as the Romancing SaGa games, Rudra no Hihou, Wonder Project J, Treasure Hunter G, G.O.D., Granhistoria.

[@Lovuschka]

No, they were only broadcast in Japan with a "Broadcast Satellite" addon.

[@supersavage401k5]

Lovuschka metal max returns too that's a great game

[@nubeyazul]

Other videos on KZbin not only mention the same old regular games, but they also mention the same so-called hidden gems. You're the first person that mentions so many good games that I actually haven't heard of before. Great job man.

[@TheVergile]

there are still more not mentioned here too. The Japanese snes library is quite deep

[@italoa.b.oliveira3499]

PLEASE, put the name of the games in the video!!!

[@ChaoPlaymate]

*B L O O D Y I N T E N S I F I E S*

[@davidwardrop9214]

You bloody well right, you got a bloody right to say.

[@curiousidees]

fun fact: he says "bloody" 10 times IN THE FIRST BLOODY MINUTE

[@adamgardner28]

PLEASE! Just list the games in the description! Trying to decipher Japanese names from a British accent is impossible.

[@TheVergile]

not mentioned in this list, but also "bloody" amazing: - Romancing SaGa3 - Emerald Dragon - Tactics Ogre - Final fantasy Tactics - Firemen - Terranigma (tho this was released in Europe) - Marvelous: Another treasure island - Sailor Moon - Treasure of the Rudras - Chaos Seed - Traverse: Starlight and Prairie - Shin megami tensei - Dark Law - Metal Max 2

[@ruuddezwart7917]

Just 10 more good SFC games you missed to mention in a very great and decent video: 1. Ghost Sweeper Makami, 2. Super Shell Monster Story, 3. Go Go Ackman series, 4. Super Ninja Kun, 5. Marvelous: Another story, 6. Shin Migami Tensei series. 7. Nekekketsu (2 beat 'em up games) 8. Hameln no violin, 9. Treasure of the Rudras, 10. Super Back to the future.

[@TheXev]

Agreed with the Volinist of Hameln. Its a fantastic game that actually follows its original manga (unlike the completely crap anime based on the franchise). Its a fantasticly quirky plateforme.r

[@MaiquetiaEdgard]

Rushing Beat Series...Jellyboy2 I loved that games

[@tunainoil]

The best part? Most "collectors" don't dare to touch Japanese versions of games so most SuFami releases are pretty affordable, even CIB.

[@stezo2k]

tunainoil definitely, I picked up chrono trigger for £3 and Mario RPG for £5. bargain

[@KombatGod]

There were so many great games in the past, I don't even get why people get excited for new releases. Sure, recent games can be good too, but why take a risk buying a new game (some crazy people even buy it on day one), when you can get estabilshed great games? If you've never played it before it's new to you!

[@zaphero5518]

KrossoverGod I guess its because unless you are playing on pc, the games will have bad resolution and be on consoles that are a punk to find and get games for.

[@BlagomirDao]

Exactly!

[@OnlyEpicEmber]

Zaphero Huh? The fact consoles are inferior doesn't mean people are more likely to buy games for them and you used the word punk in a way that makes absolutely no sense. It's true that older games are established and therefore low risk, which is why I play them a lot but with many modern games it's about the online experience, something which won't exist in even 10 years so with these games it makes sense to play them now, and the experience is entirely different.

[@4horsemenoftheapocalypse58]

Please Nintendo, no more region locking.

[@prometheusdarkstar1725]

You're gonna love the switch.

[@Elyseon]

And no more treating fans, honest reviewers and LPers like garbage.

[@rawr51919]

Prometheus Darkstar The Switch'll be region-free... wOOt!

[@CommodoreFan64]

Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima said they are looking at also making a full blown 3DS/2DS successor that will also be region free. Personally think it's a face saving move if the Switch fails, as the 3DS/2DS line is still selling like gang busters.

[@matthewgustafson5225]

lol I see you used the Fat Controller theme for the intro here.

[@luisreyes1963]

All those wonderful Japanese SFC games we never got to play. Instead, we were cursed with shovelware like Bebe's Kids, Lester The Unlikely, Wayne's World...I could go on, but I'd wind up crying hysterically. 😭

[@hitkid2456]

Well, have solace in the fact they got the Lester game, with an even more bizarre title (Odekake no Lester: Rerere No Re (^^;)!

[@emanuelecirani6383]

Quality video, as always. Top hat gaming man is becoming one of my favorite yt channels

[@themrnails]

It would had been nice to list all the games in the description. : /

[@inendlesspain4724]

Then this video wouldn't have even half the views it has, because most would just read the titles of the games from the list and skip the video completely. Yeah, it happens...

[@doom5895]

Jorge Enrique Riera boi

[@sainkanzaki]

Jorge Enrique Riera as long as you load the video it counts as viewed

[@inendlesspain4724]

Your right. Actually the real problem is that the author of these videos won't receive any money through ads from those who just skip the video, though the same could be said about people using applications like AdBlock.

[@bloodred255]

just because it gets you views doesn't mean you should do it. also where the hell is terranigma?

[@chrisdorn6418]

Awesome brother. Thanks for taking the time to make this video. Now I just need a month to run through them.

[@MadPanicGaming]

Very well done, my fellow import enthusiast.

[@Gabe_Pictures]

Links for the Thumbnail, Top Hat Gaming Man

[@optimisticcharizard602]

My favoruite part, is the part where he says "bloody"

[@SiccDeville]

or when he says "free". as in one, two, free.

[@joeydelmarsjr.646]

this dude needs to type in all the games names

[@dalemuir1105]

The intro tune makes me feel like a Really Naughty Engine.

[@harrisonhall1139]

"You have caused confusion and delay!" - Sir topham hat

[@filijonken]

You sir are AWESOME! As you said in the video I am tired of the same old games being featured on youtube, bloody awesome then that a stand up guy like you comes to change that!

[@thepickles8833]

Treasure Conflix looks gorgeous. Wish they did expand that idea more. Love to try it.

[@123vitorthebest321]

awesome video! thank you for making this BLOODY list

[@Loader2K1]

Awesome. In the near future, you should do a video on another 50 Super NES/Super Famicom games we couldn't play, if not a video on 50 Genesis/Mega Drive games we couldn't play. Keep up the good work.

[@thewindup705]

Excellent video in which a great list of must-plays has been put together, I definitely in which want in which to check these out!

[@goleo353]

SAILOR MOON: ANOTHER STORY

[@LordBarros]

I've played that before. Good game.

[@stanleyteriaca2184]

There is a great fan translation.

[@strain42]

If I have to bring up a game series you left out. Three words: Shin. Megami. Tensei. There were four MegaTen games released for the Super Famicom (1, 2, if... and Kyuuyaku Megami Tensei which was the Super Famicom remake of the original two games for the Famicom) and we haven't gotten a single one of them. Despite the MANY ports and remakes of these games, the only officially localized version of any of those four titles is that Atlus USA localized Shin Megami Tensei 1 for...iOS devices. But that aside, I just wanted to say AWESOME, video dude. A really good mix of games I've heard of vs. ones that I can't believe I hadn't heard of sooner. I can really tell you brought your A-Game to this video, and it was a great watch. Keep up the good work, dude, and I can't wait for more.

[@Spintechfilms]

once again a good and informative video and yet another full list of games i can add to my search for the Super Famicom until then ill have to suffice with the games on my everdrive... and keep up the great work as always my friend i look forward to the next video

[@halrodriguez713]

Awesome video - I'll be checking a lot of these out stat 👏👏

[@teeonezee]

This intro is amazing, auto subbed to you. WOOO!

[@Sheepy007]

Dude, you need a better microphone FAST! Otherwise good video

[@TopHatGamingManChannel]

I have one arriving Friday as I am moving to Thailand for a while as of Monday.

[@TopHatGamingManChannel]

Shamal Jifan I am just travelling around the world. Started in the Mediterranean in June, then September I headed to the USA and Canada for 3 months, now I am in the far east.

[@CGJUGO80]

What is wrong with peoples' ears? You were born after 2005 weren't you

[@justsomeone5314]

Such vast knowledge in this topic! 13:18 worth to mention that it's a whole adventure against varying foes and bosses through very different landscapes... all in order to get a candy as a reward! I really loved this game, sadly never knew what they were saying.

[@boilingmanTV]

Excellent coverage, nice work ;)

[@Ichigo111293]

Man, Square-Soft were freaking amazing back in the day, pumping out great games like clockwork. Now they're nothing more than a shell of their former selves.

[@shmehfleh3115]

This is an excellent video! Lots of great suggestions here for games to seek out.

[@Orcbuu]

This List is very awesome! Didnt even know some of this games thx for that!

[@boxerblake1]

Wow. So many games that look great. Thanks for the video. Have to look for these for my Japan trip in October.

[@TopHatGamingManChannel]

Found a few of these on my trip to Bangkok, post making this video. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@frankschuler2867]

Great video and great idea; I've never heard of most of the games you featured and most of them look worth tracking down.

[@DomenicVermillion]

This provided me with some great stream ideas and titles to pick up for my retron 5. Thank you Top Hat Gaming Man!

[@Rogerio_FM]

Fifty... much better than 10. I like TOP 50. Well done.

[@halfadozen6]

Finally some games I haven’t seen yet! 👍👍👍

[@nosoyyo6961]

Great list! I'd played most of the games of this list, 8 that I'was not familiar with at all; I have a LOoong SNES Roms collection. More than a thousand games, and I'm still playing a lot just to finish them.

[@Tukemuth]

Fantastic video, exactly what I was looking for and even more than that. Man, this list is a gem mine.

[@commentarysheep]

Clickbaited by the Princess Peach XXX thumbnail. Good job, my British fellow!

[@Ixapter]

This is fascinating. Thank you for making it.

[@slopesgameroom]

FIRST! Also, fantastic video mate, only knew of a few of these. as i'm not rhat big on rpgs i'm glad i went down the sega route. However, the side scrollers in this list have very much peeked my interest. massive thanks for your hard work. YEEEAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH

[@kingmonkey25]

Yep, same here, this is one of my favourite videos you've done so far - plenty of titles for me to look out for now! :)

[@pferreira1983]

Shining Force 1 and 2 are classics!

[@aztecwhistle9122]

You just blew my mind with the Zelda Link To The Past sequel.😲Hats off to you Top Hat Gaming Man!!!

[@ArabKatib]

Wow, lots of good information here! Now I know what to look for on my next Super Famicom purchases!! :) Good video!

[@MrDmoney156]

You should checkout Mystic Ark ;)

[@bazdaniels7420]

Fun and funny narration, BTW!! Great videos!

[@OrangeGeemer]

The info on this video is awesome!!! I'm taking notes of games to try on my everdrive. Thanks!

[@jamesdarwent3187]

great video heaps of gems i never heard of, keep up the great content

[@theconsolekiller7113]

Great video. I wasnt aware of many of these

[@joshdaniels6635]

What a brilliantly informative and helpful video. some of these are going straight on my everdrive lol. Thank you.

[@Matheus-ki9zo]

I was feeling quite hopeless...until Radical Dreamers showed up near the ending. Man, do I love that game.

[@mistkeyblade]

Bloody brilliant mate, cheers.

[@Locomamonk]

awesome picks for great games!! I love it! I've played many of these and I'm totally looking forward to try the others!

[@KohighMathy]

Cool Video fella, some of these I'm going to have to try & track down :-) I might even make it my plan for the year! oh wait.....

[@MusouTensei82]

Great list, didn't knew a bunch of them, definitely some games I'd like to get my hands on. Also very happy you included the Goemon series, it's so underrated. The title was a bit misleading though, I thought at 1st it's about 50 unreleased SNES games tbh.

[@lmello009]

Nice channel and video! PS: I'm looking forward to your video on the SuFami Fire Emblem games. The fourth entry in the series shown in this video is one of my favourite games of all time and a *really good* translation from Project Naga is about 99% complete. I literally cried when I played the Beta!

[@williamkendrick]

tophat i tip my hat to you good sir, you hit all my big loved games man... seriously. GREAT LIST

[@Chakeis]

Thankfully these have been translated by fans over the years. I'm eternally thankful to those people.

[@AmyraCarter]

RPG Tsukuru 1 and 2. No one outside of Japan got a console version of RPG Maker until it was released on the Sony PlayStation. (RPG Tsukuru 3/RPG Maker)

[@thecowwarrior3]

Great video. Keep up the good work.

[@usmanchughtai1751]

This was informational. Thank you

[@amuzulo]

Bloody good video mate!

[@landonlunsford8810]

All the games in this video look awesome! Thank you Top Hat for introducing new games to a older gamer like me

[@Wolfphototech]

Simply wonderful I'm a new subscriber .

[@StrawberryPidgey]

Dan Ibbertson was the one who suggested I check out your channel and I finally did and this was the first video and wow. I didn't realize there were so many games that look super interesting that didn't get out of japan. Time to look for fan patches for english translations huh? :P

[@curiousfishie]

Thank you for featuring Tales of Phantasia, I *adored* this game... watching this makes me want to play it again, the humor in it was pretty good too :D

[@xUdieToox]

"Which ones did you like?" uhhhh, how about all of them? I freaking love the Ganbare Goemon series thanks to dedicated youtubers like you

[@chrisandsamvideos]

Bloody great list ;P

[@TurboSilke]

Hello mr British villain in a top hat guy nice vid, could you please include a list in the description?

[@ManicMinorProduction]

Thanks so much for this video. I just bought a famicom and thought there were only RPG's which I can't read and would hate anyhow, some of these games look sick!

[@supergeno128ds]

I need to find that Mech Crossover game at 16:47! One of my favorite games on the SNES was a game developted by LucasArts called Metal Warriors, which was a side scroller where you fought in a wide variety of Gundam-esque mechs! Seeing an actual side scroller featuring famous mechs as well as Gundams sounds awesome!

[@YTHandlesBlow]

I saw Great Battles in the opening as you were talking and I knew I was going to like this, me & my friends loved playing Great Battle III,IV & V on snes. We didn't know much about Gundams/Ultraman/Kaman Rider at the time cause we were kids playing import games. Still super happy to see Fighter Roar from the Great battle series still lives on in SRW PS4 titles

[@ChiefXuligan]

Fantastic video. I can't believe I hadn't heard of some of these before. Wasn't a big fan of the click-bait-ish title but it's still an excellent video.

[@RottenPimple]

Amazing games I never knew existed. Thanks !

[@SirKinglink]

Wait... what? A sequel to Link the past? I'm actually shocked! Way to go.

[@ASMRgreydeth]

I've rewatched this video over 27 times, I really enjoy your videos! I forgot where i found out about your channel but i'm glad i found it. Your channel has well written reviews and entertaining subjects on retro gaming! I hope you reach 1 million subs ! You deserve it, This ASMR Fredisbread signing off.

[@mglionheart5276]

im late on this but love the list always looking for more snes stuff. also mad props for having clocktower on this list LOVE THAT GAME

[@mikigirl18]

I smiled SO hard when you mentioned Radical Dreamers. It's really a good game and GORGEOUS music.

[@DieHardGamerBros]

Awesome video!

[@hereticosjc]

loving the Thomas music!

[@nathanhawkheroux9077]

just subscribed, it brings back old memories of my childhood even tho I haven't played any of those games (I'm in the U.S market)

[@bazdaniels7420]

I like the intro for this one!

[@ajogg]

Thanks, great video!

[@thecianinator]

Look we all know we're here because of that clickbait thumbnail image, so here you go: shayeragal.deviantart.com/art/peach-gallery-icon-design-134201544 He got it from DeviantArt, and there it is. Now you don't have to watch the video

[@edfreak9001]

Appreciated.

[@RodrigoMeazzi]

fantastic video again!!!!!

[@amuzulo]

For fans of action puzzle games, I also have to mention a few more SNES titles that were only released in Japan: Mario’s Super Picross (a cross between Minesweeper and Sudoku) Super Tetris 3 (with 4-player mode!) Tetris Battle Gaiden (full on competitive Tetris with each character having 4 special attacks based on how many gems you’ve cleared in lines and a common tetrimino pool) Super Puyo Puyo (color-based falling blob matching)

[@VulpesHilarianus]

MAGICAL POP'N! MY MAN! I loved that game as a kid. Something about the character, Princess, and the digitized speech. Plus the fact that the bosses were insanely hard. I wonder how my copy got into America, because I remember picking it up at a yard sale in the early 2000s. I've looked for years about who Pack In Video was, but I've never found anything much about them.

[@davegamesalot6526]

When i heard the intro, Sir fattyhat came into my mind.... thats what i called him when i was 5 years old

[@modembuddy4010]

Top notch video! Can you include a list of the games in the comments next time? Or maybe title cards for each entry?

[@skwiskwig]

Watch your music levels! Otherwise -- GREAT video. Earned a sub. Can't wait to marathon more of your content!!

[@paulcool4384]

You should make a list of Japanese Xbox 360 games we never got. Keep up the great videos !!

[@Dystnine]

Super Bomberman 4 and 5. GReat Batle series. YES!

[@matteuuettam452]

A very well done video once again, my friend👍

[@cerebraxis607]

I'm glad I saw this, as I have missed a few of these in my older Emulator days.

[@WalkerRileyMC]

Another really cool concept added to Live a Live, aside from the multiple storylines/characters, was that each had it's own battle system.

[@MicahBuzanANIMATION]

So many BLOODY DECENT hidden gems.

[@misterdobbs]

bahamut lagoon! thanks for this. love yer channel
