In terms of other Japanese English friendly Super Famicom games there's these: * Ryuuko no Ken 2 (Art of Fighting 2, we got the first game in the US but never the sequel which is the better game of the two). * Kirby no KiraKira Kids (Kirby's Super Star Stacker, only the Game Boy port got NA released) * Godzilla: Kaijuu Daikessen (an arcade style Godzilla monster fighting game) * Panel de Pon (while US and Europe got Yoshi's Island characters theme for Tetris Attack, the Japanese original featured an original cast, story, and endings) * Galaxy Wars (a great vertical shoot em up similar to Galaxian) * Ranma 1/2: Chougi Ranbu Hen (while we got Ranma: Hard Battle here in the US, we missed out on this game which is the better fighting game, another Ranma fighting game which was altered and released here in the US as Street Combat sucks so don't get that one nor the Japanese one, Hard Battle and Chougi Ranbu Hen are the two better titles). * Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon (a Sailor Moon beat em up series similar to Final Fight and Streets of Rage, play as good as the Genesis port, the first game got release in Europe but the rest stays in Japan, there's also a Sailor Moon RPG title Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon: Another Story which is really great and there's even an English translation of the game too so if you want feel free to seek repro, flash cart or FAQs for the game). * Fighter's History: Mizoguchi Kiki Ippatsu!! (a Japanese Super Famicom exclusive sequel to Karnov's Revenge and the first Fighter's History game, it's a decent arcade style fighting game and it also featured the main character from Atomic Runner as the main boss in the game just like how Karnov was the main boss in the first Fighter's History game). * BS Legend of Zelda (a great remake of the original Legend of Zelda for the Super Famicom Satellaview add-on, repro carts are also available for map 1 of the game). In terms of strategies and RPG titles, there's also these but you may had to find an English translation to enjoy them: * Lady Stalker (an RPG part of the Stalker series of games). * Ys IV: Mask of the Sun, there's also Ys V: Ushinawareta Sunano Miyako Kefin and Ys V Expert Edition too which is more difficult). * Final Fantasy IV: Hard Type (we got a translation of this game as Final Fantasy II here in the US but the game was the Easy version with a lot of difficulty and stuff cut out, the Japanese version hard Type got the better end of the deal). * Magic Knight Rayearth (an interesting RPG that plays different from the Sega Saturn version). * Popful Mail (a good action RPG featuring hack 'n' slash and exploration, an updated port was also released for the Turbo CD in Japan and the Sega CD add-on for the Sega Genesis here in the US). * Shin Megami Tensei I, II and If (all great first person RPG, plays similar to the ones on Game Boy, DS, and 3DS). * Sengoku Denshou (a port of the arcade game Sengoku Denshou, this is a beat em up play in similar fashion to Final Fight and Streets of Rage). * Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together (a tactical strategy game similar to Final Fantasy Tactics but with an Ogre Battle theme to it). * Super Famicom Wars (this game is an early entry in the Famicom Wars series and plays just as good as the modern Advance Wars games but the game is text heavy and no English translation are made for it yet). * Fire Emblem 3, 4 (Seisen no Keifu) & 5 (Thracia 776) - Like Super Famicom Wars, these are great in-dept strategy games but are text heavy, translations or walkthroughs are recommended.
Dude! I've recently found this series (and your channel), it gives such nostalgic vibes. I remember playing as a kid to some of this games on an weird emulator my dad installed in our PC. Cheers !
Here's a little history on Kamen Rider. Kamen Rider is a a popular Japanese superhero franchise which in 1971. Originally based The Skull Man manga by Shotaro Ishinomori, Kamen Rider's basic premise is about a college student named Takeshi Hongo who is kidnapped by the terrorist organization Shocker and unwillingly turned into a cyborg. However, before he can brainwashed into doing Shocker's bidding, he escapes and uses his given powers to transform (or "henshin") into Kamen Rider. He is later joined by Hayato Ichimonji/Kamen Rider 2. Together, they bring down Shocker and its mysterious Great Leader. To this day, the franchise continues in Japan and is still going strong. And FYI, it's pronounced "Kahmen Rider," not "Kaymen Rider."
Justin Givens I've played that game on an emulator, but I'd like to get a physical cartridge, since I'm a big Kamen Rider (Showa era only). In fact, I'm big fan of Ishinomori's works, such as Cyborg 009 (I have the Super Famicom game), Kikaider, and Super Sentai. On a side note, it seems like this guy didn't even research Kamen Rider before reviewing the game.
hey SNES drunk.. thanks for getting back to me about 4-player Dynamic Stadium. I have a couple SFC games that you might be interested in if you haven't already played them: Sugoi Hebereke - a 4 player fighting game with cuddly little creatures, and Battle Cross - a top view racing game for up to 6 players.. don't need to read anything in the games.. art is great and both are pure chaos with multi-tap. great fun.
really thanks for the recomendations, damn i always enjoy most of retro games especially snes, but now because of famicom library exploration u can get tons of good non rpg games :)
Thanks so much for doing this series of videos man. Found a lot of great games to add to my Super Fami collection through this. Any chance you'll be doing a Part 4 or has the well kind of run dry? Thanks!
Have you ever tried Magical Pop'n? It's a really good Super Famicom game that nobody seems to talk about. It's a platformer with branching levels and powerups a bit like in Metroid but with cutesy art design and just awesome gameplay. Definitely worth a mention if you ever make a fourth part of Super Famicom games videos.
It surprises me that in all your videos you didn't mention Daiku no Gen-san or Hammerin' Harry. It seems like a game of your liking, it was on the Arcade, the NES, the Gameboy and even on the Super Famicom, but not on the SNES. I think it's a game for you.
Thanks for this awesome series! I found a lot of great games, i would have missed :) If you make a Part 4, you should check out "Magical Pop´n" .. dont know how you missed that awesome game. Its pretty expensive but there are lots of repros on ebay ;) And about the Parodius game you mentioned in Part 1... There are actually 3 different Parodius games on the SFC: Parodius Da! (thats the one we got here in europe) Jikkyo Oshaberi Parodius Gokujyou Parodius ♥
From seeing all 3 you mention a lot but you also missed a few good ones like Alcahest, Yu Yu Hakusho 2, Mobile Suit Gundam: Cross Dimension, and many more that were good which did not need translations to beat. Well Alchahest was a bit hard without it but the hard part was the game difficult but the music, game play, and art helps it a lot. You are showing the unknown gems since most focus on US titles than Japan that were not around that are the true hidden gems.
I would like to know what fishing games are available. There are many titles but whenever I search for them its like they are non existent or interpretated incorrectly
There's 22 default characters in the game which is why it is called DBZ: Ultimate Battle 22. You fight 21 opponents/battles and the ultimate battle is the 22nd opponent (Majin Buu). Of course the game had more than 22 characters if you count the unlockable characters.
In its english translation it does indeed finish with an 'm', however, when you read the actual Japanese characters it ends with an 'n'. SU-PA-FUa-MI-KO-N
That's pretty interesting... but my actual Super Famicom controller (from Japan no less) does indeed say Nintendo Super Famicom on the front in English. Did they ever have a controller or any kind of official packaging that actually used the Japanese characters? I'm genuinely curious.
