[@sammylane21]

Yoshi v Kirby...which can eat the most? Whom is the most OP Yoshi or Kirby?

[@sammylane21]

I always catch the SUPER CASTLEVANIA orb while jump whipping diagonally upward, looks so cool and dramatic.

[@vikinglife6316]

I got the snes when it released and I did get the super scope somethin I really liked. I was playing Out of this World, Flashback, Blackthorne, Final fantasy 3, Breath of Fire series, Suikoden, Wild Arms, Y's, Castlevania. Obviously Mario and a bunch of others.

[@michaelstanton8363]

F in Fzero probably stands for Formula like F1

[@steammachine3061]

The f in f zero probably stands for formula. Considering the highest formula racing car is formula 1. Numbers higher denote less advanced vehicles so it's stands to reason that a 0 being before 1 would be more advanced than an f1 facing car

[@dennisgallaher3640]

I was curious and just did a search that appears to confirm f = formula.

[@Agostoic]

Makes sense.

[@rsoffiatto]

It is Formula. There is a little story on the manual that explains the name.

[@64-Bit-Gamer]

I also think it stands for Formula.

[@darthkillstealer3181]

Zero gravity with the floating cars, perhaps.

I always come back to this video for a good dose of nostalgia. The SNES launch was a major part of my childhood. Thanks for the video!

My best friend opened up a Super Nintendo in October 1992 as a surprise for his birthday and also got Final Fight. I would stay over at his house and we used to play it together and take turns swapping the controller every time one of us lost a life. Awesome time!

[@Alttabbins]

Me and my best friend used to dump our entire allowances into Final Fight every weekend at the bowling alley. It was the first game I got with my Super Nintendo for my birthday at the time. We hooked it up asap, plugged into two controllers, and franticly tried to figure out how to get the 2nd player to work. We were heartbroken when we saw that it was only one player. Something I'll never forget.

[@bezerker99]

I honestly never noticed that Final Fight wasn't 2player compatible on SNES. As an only child and not having many friends that lived near me, I played almost everything back in the day in single player. Cool video, John!!😎

[@BongJabbar]

I was only born in '91 and you still do SUCH a great job with the nostalgia factor. Like I feel like i'm in a KB Toys seeing the Super Nintendo display

[@dwightdixon8508]

Genesis was my first console and I absolutely loved it but as a “gamer” I bought the SNES and enjoyed it the same. To me it wasn’t what console was better because both had their advantages and I would make game buying choices based on that.

[@joshjohnson3442]

In retrospect whether you were Nintendo or Sega, we all won. Nowadays I still prefer Nintendo(it’s just too tied to my childhood to get rid of them) and PlayStation over XBox.

[@jimjackle6046]

@@joshjohnson3442 absolutely YES, X-Box over Sony.

[@Slightly_Sadistic]

They both had amazing games.

[@lonreed9743]

I totally agree. I still live by that standard today. Now, if I could only get a PS5!!

[@dc110770]

Same here. Megadrive in the UK and then a snes. Both where brilliant and had advantages and disadvantages over each other.

[@Hrollief1]

FF2 is my favorite RPG of all time. The nostalgia factor definitely plays a role and it was my introduction to RPGs also. It made such an impact that I play RPGs more than any other type of game.

[@raphaelfp]

I was so eager to play Final Fight in my home when I got the SNES. And it's astonishing how F-Zero throws you to the title screen right off the bat without any further presentation or explanation. Besides, its soundtrack remains dope after all those years. Mute City, Big Blue, Silence and especially Port Town theme are so urgent, upbeat but still atmospheric to the game. Even the records screen has got a fine keyboard theme!

[@Vornakk]

Formula One is the highest class of international racing for open-wheel single-seater formula racing cars sanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile. So I would guess that F(ormula) Zero is the highest class of INTERGALACTIC racing for single-seater formula racing cars.

[@PhillBowser]

U.N. Squadron is the jam!

[@otakubullfrog1665]

Truly an amazing launch year. I ended up playing and enjoying the majority of these games (although it took years to acquire them since I was too young for a part-time job back then and could only manage to get a limited number of games per year). I never realized that Lagoon was released that early since I didn't even play it until a good two or three years later when one of my friends got it out of nowhere.

[@hectormontalvo5565]

I never buy a system right away when it's released I wait a year or two. But I played at a friend's house. We played Clay Fighter, Super Ghouls 'N Ghosts, Super Mario and Super R-Type. The one we played the most was Ghouls 'N Ghosts. Cool video John!👍

[@JegoEXP]

I was late to the SNES party since I was born in 1989. My mom bought me for my 4th birthday the SNES with Mario World and Mario Kart. I played Mario Kart so much, I absolutely loved it as a kid and never got sick of it. Never had F-Zero as a kid, but would have loved that one as well.

[@billyhorn7886]

I have memories of going to my friend Andy's house and watching him and his neighbor playing FF2 going into the underworld and then up into space. That nostalgia is probably why I like 2 more than 3(4 more than 6) I just got my SNES from highschool back but not all the games I had. FF2 and 3 are on my list of games to get to play on it again.

[@he11fire217]

I'm in complete agreement on ActRaiser. I'm sure a lot of it is nostalgia for me, but that's one of the few games that I go back and play almost every year.

[@joshjohnson3442]

I remember quite fondly going through stores when Super Nintendo was coming out. The displays in the electronic centers that would have Super Mario World cued up. I was blown away by how just the opening title screen menu was so lively, colorful and sounded great. The console was just saying “forget everything you knew about Nintendo!” And sure ‘nuff my 8th Christmas had a SNES under the tree. Still the SNES stays near the top of my own all time personal favorite consoles.

[@TheBandicootNerd131]

1991 was a great launch year. I didn't realize that there were this many classics released that early in the SNES life cycle.

[@whiskasje]

I played on our Amiga that year, Another World was amazing on that machine in 91 the Snes didn't impress me until 92 with Super Star Wars, i bought the Snes and that era with the Amiga and the Snes was the best gaming time of my life.

[@anonamatron]

Amiga and SNES are different... I had both, but the Amiga never replaced consoles for me. I played a ton of Amiga stuff but it's a different experience.

[@abraxasvoice440]

Drakkhen John...that was special. That was my introduction to a PC medieval kind of game. The first person view exploration, the creepy atmosphere and awesome dungeons...UNFORGETTABLE DUDE!!

[@nearvanaman]

"Populous" was the type of game I would buy in the early 90s on the Amiga because I liked the idea of playing a 'serious' game. After 15 minutes of being confused, I'd pop 'Sensible Soccer' back in.

[@dmoore0079]

I got mine in early '92 for my 13th birthday. I had the choice of the SNES or Genesis, and I chose the SNES. I didn't regret the choice, although there were some Genesis exclusives that i felt like I missed out on.

[@loreabiding]

You've been spoiling us with so many videos lately. Thank you.

[@mikerinck8523]

I have a copy of Populous. It’s a really fun game. For the most part you develop lots of flat land to try to increase your kingdom. As you grow you gain power ups such as a knight, or sabotaging the enemy with a volcano. Once you feel your army is big enough you can try to wipe out the enemy by either invading, or flooding them or whatever other means you have. It helps if you either have the manual or watch a how to video of what all the icons at the bottom mean.

[@volvoguy804]

F-Zero had a really good soundtrack! Especially the Death Wind track.

[@doughankins3996]

My friend Tim had an SNES back then. He had Super Mario World and F-Zero. I was terrible at F-Zero, but I loved it. Thanks Riggs. It's nice to go back to simpler times. Keep up the great work buddy.

[@andrewsorenson6750]

I'll never forget seeing the SNES in action for the first time. It was hooked up to a TV in Walmart electronics, dozens of kids sitting around taking turns, blown away at the new graphics of Super Mario World. Unforgettable for an 11 year old.

I agree %100 on Final Fantasy 2. Had to add it to my snes mini and played through it again during quarantine.

Hopefully you added other RPGs on your mini like I did that didn’t make it to the US but got fan translations. Like Final Fantasy V and Live-A-Live!

[@jeremiahm1413]

I remember seeing the Paul Rudd commercial where he is playing the Super NES at an abandoned drive-in, and we FINALLY got a glimpse of Zelda 3. I lost my mind waiting for that game to come out. Once it did, the neighborhood didn't see me outside for a solid week.

[@thecentralscrutinizer304]

From 1991 until Xmas 1994, I only got to play SNES at Target, Toys R Us, and occasionally renting one at the start of summer vacation. I dreamed about SNES, finally obtaining the dream on 12/25/94 along with DKC & Super Punch Out. Memories 😔

[@ice_cube8302]

Pilot wings and 64 are two of my favorite nintendo games of all time. They are just so damn chill. They aged so well. There really needs to be more things like it and its a shame no one has ever picked up the baton to do it again.

Damn you really undersold super castlevania 4. I got that Christmas of 91 and that game was a revelation. Played it over and over and it’s still one of my favorite games of all time.

I used to play UN Squadron with a friend whom lived down stairs from me where i live in some apartments at one point as a kid. Adam, he and i would play Super Nintendo a lot. Most of my friends over the years were short lived friendships... have not had friends in years.. But when i did, there were games involved.

[@sirmang9032]

Super Baseball Simulator 1.000 was the game we played at my friends house as a kid a lot in 91 and 92. Noticeably missing from your list! Was a Christmas time release in 91 if memory serves me right.

[@mamoruisamu1]

I remember our family going to my next door neighbor’s house for dinner right after the SNES came out. They had gotten one and we played FZero and Pilotwings. Sadly, they moved away the next week. Another friend had Populous and I loved it (still do).

[@The90sGamingGuy]

The original SNES was my first home gaming console. The first three SNES games i remember playing were SMW, F-Zero and Zelda A Link to the Past. Back when i was in elementary school my teacher allowed a student to bring in an SNES and a copy of DKC to use as a math lesson since you had to collect bananas and that banana counter was on screen, the lesson was very brief but still interesting. Great topic for a video.

[@oddtoddodd]

I thought the same, "this is too much", like I remember being scared and excited at the same time. When I finally did get a SNES it was magic!

That Super Mario World intro played so often on the TV of my local Service Merchandise (hey, 1991 here) that the title letters eventually burned itself into the monitor when they at last switched out to a different game.

[@shane3478]

Final Fantasy 2 was the main reason why I got an SNES! I played it at a friend's house and I just fell in love with the music. I had played the first one on the Nintendo, but this one just captured my attention forever. My nine-year-old and I are playing through it again :-) and she loves it

[@ghkillah1995]

SimCity was my original love. I remember riding my bike all over to the video rental places to scope videos or games for a while, and then have the snes running full blast on my city, to come back and hope it went to a Megalopolis, only to find out that the donut trick sucks, and other things like when a plane crashes... Half the damn city has collapsed to a spreading plane fire... 😂 Good times.

[@ghkillah1995]

Speaking about Populous, although it was a crudely representation, it was awesome still. I think I got it for $4. Actraiser is and will always be a soft spot in my heart. I got the game for free because whne I went to go and return it, the rental store was closing down, and the man that ran the store told me to keep it, and you bet I did. I still have it to this day! And Riggs... You need to revisit the Renaissance one, I finished it and they made it very respectful in regards to the original..plus there's a secret! Final Fantasy II(4) I have recently restarted AGAIN. I LOVE IT!! The music alone makes me shed a tear and gives me a feeling(like most snes games) I'll never get with new stuff.

[@SerrenhoRetro]

Always thought the “F” in F-zero stood for formula, like formula zero instead of formula one.

[@rainfeather2997]

Guy wasn't the only thing removed from Final Fight- they removed the entire Industrial Area level and its boss Rolento, and also modified the enemies Poison and Roxy into Billy and Sid.

[@davidsavage5630]

And changed the boss names from band names to more generic sounding video game bad guy names. I'd assume due to copyright..

[@quesoblanco444]

My friends and I loved Populous! I played it so much I couldn't look at the ocean without wanting to raise land under it.

SNES was pure glory whren it was released in 1992 in germany. Over 200 games in my SNES collection and I I (almost) love them all.

[@Ace0076]

In 1991 I was playing Zelda A Link to the Past. It is a game that stands alone. Along with Super Metroid which was released several years later

[@RP_Williams]

I'm pretty sure the 'F' in F-zero stands for 'formula' (like Formula 1 racing), and the 'zero' stands for zero gravity (because the cars float in the air)...what Formula 1 eventually evolves into in the future. Also, i loved this video and fondly remember playing most of these launch year titles when they were released (and play some of them even to this day, on my hacked SNES Classic).

[@TheMultiGunMan]

I got a SNES for Christmas in '91. Games I got at the time were Super Mario World, F-Zero, Super Castlevania IV and Populous

[@kornsin]

My favorite system. Put soooooo much time into it then and still do to this day. The Sim City start screen theme song is absolutely god tier. But I will say Actraiser really blew my mind at the time. Everything about it. I have the vinyl for it hanging on my wall and still hum those tracks (along with most of Chrono Trigger as Schala's Theme stays in my head). My friend and I would play SMBW together by calling each other and keeping the phones on speaker so we could talk the whole time through and freak out about each new little moment or level.

[@Nightweaver1]

"Your sword isn't very long, but it is effective." I know that feeling, mate.

[@inceptional]

It really was a stellar launch line-up for the most part and through the year. Almost entirely great games all round, and some that we still consider up their with the greatest of all time. Getting Super Mario World bundled in the box was just amazing at the time.

I have fond memories of playing UN Squadron not on the SNES, but in the arcade at the pizza joint in the student triangle at Keesler AFB; it was in 1990 when, I was doing my Air Force technical training. The anime/Area 88 style caught my eye & the game ate many, many quarters. It's still one of my all time favorite games to play on whatever platform I play it on :)

[@gobosox2080]

I have a huge emotional attachment to final fantasy 2. My grandfather passed away the day before valentine's day but got the game for me before he had passed. I used to play ff, zelda, and Ultima with him. He is the reason I game. And still, final fantasy 3 is not only a better RPG, it's my personal favorite game of all time.

Visiting you from the Future, my parents weren't rich by any means, but I was blessed enough to wake up Christmas morning (1992) to my Super Nintendo and A Link to the Past. When the SEARS catalog was more holy before Christmas to a kid than the Bible. Just to see the ads was incredible.

[@8ByteBrian]

So many great memories! I got Pilotwings, Drakhen, Populous & Gradius all when they came out in 1991. I have beaten Pilotwings so many times, & I've NEVER seen those bonus stages, with the flying chicken! Crazy! I still have my copy of Gradius III I got for Christmas of 1991 complete in box, manual & everything, I absolutely LOVE that game, just incredible! Drakhen was weird I first got it as a gift for Easter I think, they would would all just randomly whack their weapons around, with *BLAH BLAH* sound effects would crack me up every time. Never beat it, just started playing it again not too long ago. Me & my best friend would always rent UN Squadron all the time, & he was way better at it than me & he had F-Zero too. With Populous I think the objective of the game was to appease your God, convert citizens to your God, & then defend or attack against other tribes God(s) & if you didn't appease your God he would send plagues on your city a weird but fun game, I enjoyed it! Never played Lagoon before, & I've had it for years, it looks a lot like Illusion of Gaia(another favorite I had growing up)so I'm going to have to give that a try now! Awesome video, so much gaming nostalgia!

[@DanPantzig]

I have to assume someone already pointed it out, but you get the cape IN THE SECOND LEVEL in Super Mario World. No boss fight needed. I had Hyperzone as one of my first SNES games. It may have two or three things in common with F-Zero, but it's really nothing like F-Zero. ActRaiser is absolutely my favorite game out of these. I didn't quite understand it at first, as it was also one of the first SNES games I ever had, but it grew and grew and grew on me and eventually became one of my favorites.

[@sirdoc1288]

Every once in a while I wish I could go back and play that football game where you could play both college and NFL. My only problem was the way the CPU's defense line man intercepted passes thrown over the middle. To this day Secret of Mana is my favorite RPG because it was real time fighting (no waiting a turn) and two characters/helpers controlled by the computer.

You are absolutely not alone! Final Fantasy 4 is my absolute favorite of the series, second-favorite JRPG of all time (maybe even second-favorite game, period; I'd have to give that some thought), and 6 probably doesn't even crack the top 10; I do love 6, but to me, 4 was such a mind-blowing experience, and I even liked the stilted prose of its admittedly awkward translation. So yeah, Final Fantasy 4 is easily my pick for this list. So many absolute classics on this list, though! There's Lagoon, which is just an incomparable experience, and has music and atmosphere like no other game I can think of, not to mention great character portraits for the shops. There's Final Fight, which has its drawbacks versus the Arcade version, but for my money, has far superior sound effects; there's just such a satisfying WHOOP to each punch, and the hits are great, too. F-Zero is one of those rare Racers that I really love - I suck at them, too - largely for its great music and wild scenery. Even Drakkhen has such lovely atmosphere and music - love the marshland right around sunset - and some neat Point-and Click elements, even if it doesn't have the I Love You Monster; I have to play the PC original sometime, though I do have it. I think it'd be quicker to mention the games on this list that I didn't get super into: Pilotwings, SimCity, Populous, and D-Force, though I did think D-Force was alright. I know I know: I'm gushing, but this is my all-time favorite system, and it had a pretty incredible lineup at launch, as is obvious here. To this day, I can't think of a system that ever had me more excited for it. I love hearing you talk about this stuff, too, because you know so much of it; your comparisons aren't just the usual basic bro games that everyone knows. Interestingly enough, I do remember having similar reservations about it; I remember wondering if I could really accept the SNES as a system with great RPGs, since I'd loved the NES Dragon Warriors so much. Little did I know that it would have what is arguably the best JRPG selection of any console ever made.
