The fact that you're such a big part of the retro gaming sphere, and you haven't completed some of these "essential" titles is so relateable and refreshing. Not everyone has played everything. Not everyone had the same games or consoles. And a game like Chrono Trigger requires a big commitment. Some games fall through the net, and no one should be calling for your gaming license if they do. Nice one, Kim!
Hit the nail on the head there! I still haven't played chrono trigger and the older I get and the less time I have in the day its getting less likely I will get around to it
@@retrorystergaming577 Definitely! It's taken me a month to fire up 3D Dot Heroes after I bought it on eBay, and I've bearly been able to play it for an hour without being needed elsewhere!
I wasn't the only one watching going "omg it's not just me!" then! XD I blame my ADHD for me playing a game, going "that's so cool I must continue!..." then getting distracted by another shiny.
@@PoutingTrevor yea mate I feel you. Adult life unfortunately. When I hear my friends say theyve put 50hours of game time into say Ghost of Tsushima or Red dead 2 im thinking how on earth is that even possible???
Haha I did the same thing. It’s still my favourite game of all time. It’s incredible how well the gameplay and graphics holds up. As good as a lot of other SNES games look, nothing comes close to how incredible Yoshi’s Island looks.
When it came out I played it to death. When we used to go to Laser Quest I always used Anders (the turncoat Shadowrunner) as my name. Great story and music. Last completed it a few years ok.
@@maximumpowerup531 When I first played it I thought Anders was the only shadowrunner you could hire as when you highlighted him it said 'shadowrunner' lol. Then I found out you could hire nearly everyone at the clubs. I loved the atmosphere of that game the awesome cyberpunk setting . The music was great the rat shaman and vampire arc was a little out there.
It is a very special game indeed. When i first played a ROM of it back in the early-mid 2000s the first thing I thought was "this feels like a more grown up smash tv". And indeed, the devs who ported that arcade classic to the SNES (the defining version in my opinion) also made Shadowrun, and even some of the music sounds very similar!
I don't remember that being a thing either, but that may be because I am from the US and she is from the UK and reaction to yoshi may have been different over there for what ever reason. Though even if it IS something that is a misconception on her part it's entirely trivial and NOT something to basically bash someone over in the comments section, for crying out loud people.
Probably the best console of all time. There are so many great games that didn't make this list. Desert Strike, Flashback, Alien 3, Might and Magic, Super Bomberman, Legend of Mystical Ninja, Tiny Toon Adventures, NBA Jam, I could go on and on.
I'd rank Mario Kart higher than fzero. And original Sim City had so much charm for a city builder. Would include secret of mana. Really SNES needs at least a top100 list to do it justice :)
(Hagane: The Final Conflict) was never a Blockbuster Exclusive, that was just an urban myth started by CGRundertoe and Mike Matei that just ended up inflating the after market price. SNES Drunk even debunked this in one of his Videos ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-j7Mkyb5uX0A.html
I know what you mean with Sim City 2000. I did not have anything that could run Doom until the SNES version came out. I played the heck out of it. I beat all the episodes. I know it gets criticized a lot but its still perfectly payable.

It appears to be almost a direct cross between FF and LOZ.. I have trouble with the inventory system tho.. I can totally relate to where he implies he loses his place with RPGs.. I do love the genre however
Super mariokart, zelda, super mario world, zombies ate my neighbours, secret of mana, shadowrun, syndicate, powermonger, bomberman, sim city, populus, king arthurs world...some of my favourite games.
Yoshi's Island is such a masterpiece. Aside from getting 100% i can't even really think of anything about it that I dislike. It checks out on everything that I love about 2d platformers.
Me too! My favourite game of all time, doesn’t get the credit it deserves. Holds up insanely well, the game still looks incredible to today. Going through this list it looks like it’s a generation beyond every other game on this list.
KIM this list was dynamite. I respect the hell out of this list..you kept it true to yourself and i love the hell out of a it a lot more then a lot of other youtubers. You thoroughly impressed me here. Great work.
I remember winning rounds of Biker Mice From Mars by just killing all the opponents one by one instead of actually racing. Good times. Nice seeing some The Firemen representation.
You know a system has a fantastic line-up of titles when, even though it's known far & wide as an RPG machine, _and_ is home to some of the greatest console RPGs of all time...only 2 RPGs make the top 50 of a Top 50 list.
Hagane was NOT a Blockbuster exclusive. This is an urban myth debunked by Snesdrunk. Loved the video, nevertheless! Yet again proof that the Super Nintendo was way better than the Megadrive/Genesis! : P
"Falsehood flies, and truth comes limping after it, so that when men come to be undeceived, it is too late; the jest is over, and the tale hath had its effect: like a man, who hath thought of a good repartee when the discourse is changed, or the company parted; or like a physician, who hath found out an infallible medicine, after the patient is dead." - Jonathan Swift
@@willmistretta , alternatively, as a quote from a movie once said, "When it comes between telling the truth and telling the legend, print the legend". Sadly, polititards that are on the left, right, middle, and fringe all print legends, but not a damn one of them have the fucking balls to print the fucking truth, for if they did so, then they would all be dead.
Just found you last night. Big fan. Also I love your opening. Brings me back to the 80s/90s for some odd reason. Anyhow. Keep up the good work. And thanks for the great videos.
Holly smoke! I'm a big Rik Mayall fan and just watched his Nintendo adverts on you tube thanks to your video! With an advertising campaign like that, Iit's no wonder I bought a gameboy and snes in the 90's and am still addicted to Nintendo today..😂
Really enjoyed this list, completely different from my own (which is why I love these lists). The 3rd in my list isn't even featured here 🙈 and I 100% agree that DKC is my favorite of the series as well.
I still remember demons crest being stacked walls deep at the toy shops when i was a wee lad because nobody ever bought it. If only i had bought the whole damn shelve lol.
I've had many people argue with me that they just weren't a fan of the digitized graphics at the time. Although, I think many people were just burnt out on the use of them after Mortal Kombat popularized it and the style sort of blew up. The art style really has nothing to do with how great the game is, so I never got the argument.
I don't believe that you have the necessary snes playing experience to make a list. Even though you admitted not playing through some of the best games, your list wasn't too bad. I'd like to see an updated list after you play through megaman x, ff6, and Chrono trigger.
Great video, watched it again straight after. But Kim, where's Super Bomberman? and Final Fight? There are so many more great SNES games, would you ever expand this to top 100?
Holy shit. The exact same thing always happened to me with FF6. Chrono Trigger on the other hand, I slept like 4 hours total between starting it and finishing. Edit: F Zero's soundtrack is one of the best of all time
This is a true story, but one of my high school teachers told me about how much that they loved playing The Lost Vikings and I have yet to play the game. :(
I'll be honest, I'm surprised Super Mario World wasn't in the top 10, especially considering the time. There was simply nothing quite like it for the first couple of years of the SNES life.
Great list but you missed a couple of great games. Pocky and Rocky, True Lies, The Chaos Engine, SENSIBLE SOCCER, CANNON FODDER, Jim Power, Legend and many others.
my top 10 Gemfire Liberty or Death Aerobiz Uncharted Waters Sim City Ken Griffey Jr. Presents Major League Baseball Inindo: Way of the Ninja Chrono Trigger Robotrek Final Fantasy IV
It was the same situation for me with Sim City 2000, I so wanted but would never have the right stuff at home to play it. Then one day I walked into Dixons and they had Sim City 2000 for £49.99. I played it to death and was an amazing port for the SNES. I played it right up to the day I got my PC years later.
@Marcus M, same story here, except I bought my copy of the game through the mail from a video game store in New Jersey, USA (I think), along with some other good shooter games, namely, Darius Twin, Phalanx, Super R-Type, and R-Type III: The Third Lightning (which both Phalanx and R-Type III: The Third Lightning also have GBA ports).
Hagane being a Blockbuster exclusive is actually a myth caused by the Mandela Effect due to everyone confusing the exclusivity of ClayFighters: Sculptor's Cut with Hagane.
Yes hagane wasn't a blockbuster exclusive at all, it was available anywhere, even by mail order in SNES mags. Final fight guy was a BB exclusive, hagane wasn't.
Chrono Trigger is definitely #1 in my opinion. I suppose I'm biased as this game was one of the first RPGs I played on Super Nintendo, outside of LOZ. I feel like it *WAS* a hidden gem, not so much anymore, but hey! still gotta love this game.
Great video mate. Agree with the placing on Yoshi’s Island, great to see it get some love, far and away the best looking game on the system. Not to mention the incredible level design. The one I would argue with the placement the most is DKC2, platforming perfection in my opinion. My Top 5 is: 1. Yoshi’s Island 2. Donkey Kong Country 2 3. Super Metroid 4. Final Fantasy VI 5. Chrono Trigger
Great list! And by that I mean that I, of course, disagree with most of it but it was still entertaining and informative! I envy the fact that you have yet to play / finish so many Zelda games and Square classics. I wish I could experience those for the first time again. I recommend Dragon Quest 5 in particular. It's often overlooked in the west, but it's part of the SNES holy trinity of rpgs alongside FF6 and Chrono Trigger.
@53:42-53:55= PLEASE tell me, oh Dear Justice, that this means that after all these years we're finally getting a "Top 20 Worst SNES Games"? because, let's face it... just like you said in your "Top 20 Worst Mega Drive/Genesis Games Redone" a few years back : "ah; people like shit!" (you've no idea how long I've waited to make that joke, LOL!)
I played Sim City 2000 back in the days. It really was great. I even needed to create a start disk so it could run with my 4 MB RAM machine. That was the first time I created one and I felt like a god when it worked. Music and sound only worked when I upgraded to 8 MB though.
As an American, the lack of knowledge the British have of the NES continues to baffle me. But I must say, the amount of Speccy (and certain C64) classics is even more baffling!
If the slowdown in Super Ghouls n' Ghosts bothers you, you may want to try the version that on Capcom Classics Collection for PS2. I don't know if it was intentionally overclocked or if it's just an emulation issue, but it seriously reduces the slowdown if not removing it entirely - at least on the NTSC version, never played it on PAL.
The SNES is my second favourite console. Nice to see you mentioned Kirby’s Dream Course, my fave. I have poor hand eye coordination and the game does not require twitch reflexes only planning.
We could perhaps spend a whole lifetime talking about the old 16 bit masterpieces of the SNES! It’s probably my favorite old time system other than PSX.. It’s one Achilles Heel may be limited quantity of the great quality shoot em ups of TurboGrafX for example.. I’m really not sure which platformer should rank highest DKC, Castlevania 4 or SMW.. Sorry I guess I should get on top of tackling SMW2 lol I keep on forgetting I have it with the SNES Classic Edition IDK it’s just a bit hard to go back before this era unless we’re getting into the classic arcade cabinet type of gaming.. Outside of Commodore and Amiga I suppose
Right? It’s so weird to realize that you live in a world where people have different experiences and opinions than your own. Like everyone is supposed to like everything that you like the exact same way you like it, and if one person doesn’t then obviously that means nothing no longer makes sense.
Yea it's great! Keeps things interesting. Can you imagine a world where we never get surprised or confused about anything. It'd be a nightmare of dull torture.
I'm pretty sure the Hagane blockbuster exclusive thing is just an urban legend, I'm surprised Guru Larry hasn't showed up in the comments to correct you on that lol.
Shocking this is only 50, considering the Snes has one of the greatest libraries. Some games I can recommend would be The Gaia Trilogy (SoulBlazer, Illusions of Time, Terranigma,) EVO: Search for Eden, Earthbound, Final Fantasy 2 (IV), Secret of Mana, Trails of Mana (Seiken Densetsu 3), Secret of Evermore, Super Probotector (Contra III), Zombies Ate My Neighbours, Sunset Riders, Sparkster, Dr. Mario/Tetris, Kirby's Fun Pak (All-Stars), Kirby's Dream Course, Super Valis IV, X-Men: Mutant Apocalypse, Plox, Doom Troopers, Pocky and Rocky 1/2, The Legend of the Mystic Ninja, Robtek, Run Saber, X-Calibur 2027, Hyper Iria, Gon, Prehistorik Man, The First Samurai, Mortal Kombat 2 - which is better on the Snes than the Megadrive - Strike Gunner S.T.G., Pyshco Dream, Killer Instinct, Fire Emblem Genealogy of The Holy War ... seriously, the Super Nintendo is amazing.
I like DKC1 better than DKC2 too. They're both awesome, but I just enjoy DKC1 first (and the Toxic Tower level in DKC2 is the bane of my existence, so that might have something to do with it).
