I didn't know Toy Story and Judge Dredd came out in the Super Nintendo days.. They seem like PS1 or PS2 era games

[@interceptorgt7762]

Toy Story on SNES is really blowing my mind.. Watching them play it now... I'm 37 and I don't believe Toy Story is old enough to be on SNES... I was at least a teen when Toy Story came out. I was a kid when SNES was out.. I feel like I woke up today in another dimension.. Mandella Effect? Im about to research this

[@afterthought55]

Soul Blazer was one of my favorite games on SNES it is part of the (Illusion of Gaia & Terranigma) games

[@Jacktrack7]

There's something about the way how bitter and mean Mike can seem sometimes that really cracks me up, I know people says this all the time but he truly is like the real life angry video game nerd.

[@shadowofbosstown]

He always was. James was just acting.

[@agauerm]

Shadowrun one of the best games on the SNES, great music too.

[@alphaascii]

Agreed, it is NOT a kids game, too complicated and hard, but it's a wonderful action RPG.

[@TheHawkeyeful]

My heart dropped when somebody suggested it because I knew he wouldn't like it.

​@TheHawkeyeful Same here man.

Legend of the Mystical Ninja has a great style to it. It ages very well.

[@DarrinsDen2023]

lol didn't even bother to learn "Soul Blazer" at all. Well Mike's the one that misses out on a great game ..

[@edbiller8455]

SoulBlazer was one of my favorites on the SNES. Powerful story for a little kid to digest. Solid music too

[@GenyaArikado]

Mike is only in it for the gameplay in his games. If the game don't starts in 10 seconds with loads of action he is not interested.

[@shenloken2]

03:20:46 - Holy crap!! At the end they played Butthole Surfers to SNES footage! That’s the epitome of the 90’s right there!!

[@reactionstack4398]

True Lies on snes is actually good game despite being LJN. God forbid Mike would really give this game a chance and learn the controls...

[@Amiculi]

He's physically allergic to more than 3 words on screen at a time and games with more than a d-pad and two button inputs for gameplay.

[@justintahair9119]

yea it lookslike a game iwould try rare ljn published beetlejuice and that game ia personal challenge to me as i have a personnal vendetta with since my childhood ljn on the nes was not the best bublisher but thye made a few good ones

Mike you are killing civi... *completely ignores*

[@TheTaskmaster]

frustrating to watch him play a good game for 15 seconds badly and change. if you want that kind of learning curve, mobile gaming is for you

[@bunkyspunkmeyer]

I thought the same thing! Soul Blazer is badass! So ur mad cuz u just mashed buttons & couldn't figure it out! Then be butt hurt about it lol. This dude is a lil kid!

[@SharonisCarin321]

Mike tends to have a habit of not having a big attention span with games especially ones with long stories

[@GrandMasterLynx]

[@JMFSpike]

Yeah, he drives me insane as well. I like the guy a lot, but he has some major ADD going on. It also doesn't help that he has the memory of a goldfish. It's a really bad combination. The fact that he seems incapable of reading more then 3 sentences without feeling he's being tortured is pretty damn ridiculous.

[@GenyaArikado]

Soul Blazer is an amazing game but it's to much of story, atmosphere,puzzles and music for Mike.

[@mojebi3804]

Yes it is. Not everybody wants that kind of game. Deal with it.

[@MrTwinbee]

Didn't really give poor old Uniracers much of a chance, its considered a classic

[@mikematei]

MrTwinbee ehh i just couldn’t ha

[@MrTwinbee]

@@mikematei That's fair enough it does take a while to learn. I think you would really like it if you learnt it

[@griffinhamill761]

Mike, play New Adventure Island for Turbografx. It’s way better than SNES version, which is not bad. The Turbo version allows you to hold down jump button to speed run. The game relies more on momentum and the enemy placement is hard without being unfair. It’s a very creative game.

[@davidshuttleworth]

4 years later, and a perfect to start Christmas Eve. Hope all is well, Mike 🙏

Mike hates in Super Turrican you can only shoot forward, but thats pretty much every mega man game.

[@mikematei]

@@tartuffethesprywonderdog5883 I just played Pocky & Rocky and I never played it before. One of the best SNES games I have played. Skyblazer is awesome. Never played it before this stream.

[@markgoulden7851]

Super Turrican is good, but if you're used to Contra I can get that you wouldn't like it. Growing up in Europe I never cared for Contra because once you've experienced the expansive level design of the Amiga Turrican games Contra just feels too basic. The Amiga ones are far better than the SNES games.

[@RetroMoments]

Every time Im playing SNES on my flashcart, I end up switching games all the time like this xD

[@sleevelessace]

Hahaha same

[@rocksolid1640]

Glad you like skyblazer I found it randomly its good

[@tyguy104]

The music in Plok was sooo good! Almost as good as Capcom? I like throwing the limbs around until you're bouncing around legless due to it. I remember a friend asking, "What's a Plok?" I'm like I don't know. Ever since I can remember, I always wanted to be a Plok!

[@PikangsFutaba]

I hope one day you give a full shot at Axelay, is a great shooter for the SNES (if you liked it of course, I won't force you to play it if you don't want to), heck, if you're on the randomized stuff, you should try the combo of Super Metroid with Zelda A Link to the Past. You played a bunch of SNES games (most of them I didn't played or heard about them at all), of the few ones I had played before this video (aside from Axelay which I mentioned that if you liked it you should give it a try), the Sailor Moon game you played can be challenging (unless you play the Chibi-Usa mode, and said mode can be played with 2 players... but you have to use a "kinda" cheat? code? to be able to do so), DOOM... well, the game looks bad (but the music is awesome in this version) but that's well known at this point, Mystical Ninja was a great game back in it's days, a shame that (under normal conditions) it wasn't included in the USA/EUR SNES Classic Edition, Toy Story... well, while the Genesis version (for me) is better, I can't say too much about the game (except that overall is fun, and with the invulnerability+unlimited lives cheat anyone can have fun with it, great to do it when you have kids playing it and you don't want them get too frustrated).

There was a Revenge of the Joker for the SNES but it was unreleased

[@Der_Kleine_Mann]

I don't know if you have the game or can get it, but I always loved and still love "Pop'n Twinbee - rainbowbell adventures", I guess you should definitely try it, cause it's awesome and fast. Erin would love it for sure. PS. It's not a twinbee shooter, it's a platformer or however you wanna call these games. Also "jelly boy" is another pretty good game imo. Ah man, there are so many great games on the Super Nintendo, but I don't know what else I could recommend to you, since I don't know yet which games you all played yet besides the obvious.

[@paulpagani182]

You and Erin are the best

[@jamiemorgan3649]

You know what's great about the older games. You don't have to wait 10 years for it to update and than another 5 years just to load. Also why I enjoy the Switch because it doesn't take long to update either. And you can still play the game without having to update.

[@holdingpattern245]

I didn't know that Addams Family Values was basically a Fester's Quest sequel on the SNES, now I'm interested.

[@golden_eldorado]

Yep,Turrican was big in Europe...on cassette! If you had an Amstrad CPC, C64, MSX or Spectrum most likely, you had a copy of it.

[@ryangleason5415]

[@jdbarker32]

Plok has one of the best soundtracks on the SNES. Tim Follin's best work in my opinion. The boss theme is Hotline Miami as hell for example.
