One person making short, to-the-point reviews of video games. Everything from Super Nintendo to Nintendo Switch to Game Boy, Sega Genesis, Turbografx-16, NES, Nintendo 64, among many more!
For something that carries the same deck building rogue-like of Slay the Spire but much different combat, look into One Step from Eden. A fantastic but little known game.
I beat lion king when I rented it within 3-4 hours if that long I don’t know what people thought was so hard about it. Mario kart isn’t hard Mario world and donkey kong aren’t hard the others I pretty much agree with and this did get me nostalgic for the actual good games on snes which have all been played to death. I always wanted to revisit smw but I only played through it once and went back to Mario 3 which is way better but not as many cool secrets
I'm just here to say SNES Jurassic Park, Yoshi's Island, Super Mario World, FFVI, Turtles in Time, Megaman X....and also, it's pronounced "S - N-E-S", not "SNESS" - and I'll tell you why: NES stands for Nintendo Entertainment System - the first Nintendo - SNES stands for SUPER NES - the SUPER version of that, with an EMPHASIS on the S because the emphasis here is on the SUPER part. Also, NES is not supposed to be "NESS" - it's "EN-EE-ESS" - that's how acronyms work. CIA is not pronunced 'SEE AH' - it's C-I-A. FBI is not pronounced "FFBEEAH" - it's EFF-BEE-EYE. USA is not pronounced "OO-SAH" - it's "U-S-A". So, yes, you ARE wrong if you pronounce it "SNES" instead of "S-N-E-S", sorry. If someone goes M.I.A. they don't go "Mia" - they go "EMM-EYE-AY". I don't make the rules, I just observe them.
Fatal Fury Special for SNES was quite impressive in 1994. It was 16 very different playable characters, nice graphics and sound, solid gameplay... It seemed more impressive than Super Street Fighter II and its compromised music and sound effects.
Top Gear the first song is the best song on any game from the SNES. If I had to make a top 10 list of video game sings of all time it would be in my top 3. The Opening screen song to Double Dragon from the NES would be my number one top gear would probably be at least two or three on that list
Got to play this shit at West Edmonton Mall. You know, keeping up with modern everything for tourists, after all we had Wayne Gretzky & Mark Messier, and now Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. Muwahaha!
A gaming PC was out of reach to this 12 year old so it had to be the SNES version for me. Loved the vibe and style of the game but it took me forever to work out how to mind control someone to get them to follow you so it sat on the shelf for ages. Once I worked that out, it was great fun to play through.
Some great games on here. Super Mario Kart on the SNES is still probably my favourite game of all time, and I'm willing to agree Donut Plains 3 is the hardest level (with Rainbow Road in close competition). That said it's also a really fun level, and Rainbow Road is even more fun. Mario Kart has had some quality games since too, but has never in my opinion quite reached the same tightness of track design (the DK Jungle track on the 64, forgot its name, kinda came close though). Funny, I don't recall Super Star Wars: Return of the Jedi being a particularly hard game, including the last level. Same with The Lion King and DKC2. The Lion King was challenging, but not ridiculously so. I recall The Jungle Book being much harder - but that might just be due to not owning that game, thus not getting a lot of playtime at it.
I loved these types of games a kid, but then again I was always one of the smartest people in any room. I could see how slower kids like this reviewer could be befuddled by having so many options, and they should just stick to the NES and only having two buttons to worry about.
One important thing to note is that the combat system borrows heavily from the Capcom D&D beat 'em ups. They are also very popular in China, hundreds of people playing in p2p platforms every day, which is a lot for old arcade beat em ups. If you liked the first game you will love the second one.
Great to see another post and love the style of this. I enjoy finding new games on my switch because it's so versatile, I often find myself with a few minutes to play it, so needless to say it's great to find new games for the console. Post the seconds video soon!
The funny thing about the rental stores having no booklets or printing their own is that it was NOT elective, but rather a result of Nintendo's battle against rentals. They fought rentals in court and failed, but they DID manage to successfully argue that the game booklets were for the purchaser only and thus could not be rented out. Stores then either ceased to include booklets for affected games or else printed out photocopies.
Great video and some sensible choices however : Super ghouls n ghosts sure 👍 but the 1st level ?? It really isn’t that difficult . I also can’t believe you only made 4th on donut plains 3, yes it can be very frustrating on 150cc but still used to regularly do better than that even as a kid . Might have to give the super Star Wars games a go as I didn’t play them much growing up 👍
A bit late to the party but i think a classic to come is Little Goody Two Shoes. It's a curious mix of various inspirations, but most notably the sprites, backgrounds and artworks are reminiscent of 90s anime series (and DAMN are they well animated, it's unparalleled in the indie genre). The gameplay is like an rpg adventure with time management, you try to earn a living and manage your reputation or even date some characters the day (a little like those strange Love-de-Lic titles like Chulip) while the night is for some more horror oriented action segments where you guide the character through the woods avoiding monsters. It was developped by indie game studio AstralShift and published by Square Enix (i guess they were impressed) at the end of last year. It's gradually getting some recognition, i did discover it with a recent video from Kbash channel. Notheless it's quite the unique mix of genres for a game and yet heavily retro-inspired, so i hope you check it out !
I feel like this rant is abit over the top. He's reviewing it like it's a more modern game. In the 90s adults werent playing games like today, and kids like me spent hours on it because of how big it felt. Sure there were the obvious frustrations back then like the caves being too dark. But when today do you have tonnes of pieces of paper with passwords written on them shut in the case for you to plug in each time you start the game back up?
