  • To me, the Super Nintendo is the greatest gaming console of all time. That said, it's long past time for me to finally create a definitive list of the top 20 greatest SNES games!

      @@KurodaKyousuke , lovely, thanks! Regarding the list, I love how of both of the Mario games are together at 4 and 5, the third Mario game is divided from the other two by Metroid (which is a good game in its own right, but not one of my personal favorites on the console). Even the top 10 here is endless gameplay. Special shoutout to SMK. Overall, a very solid list!

    I remember having friends sleepover party for the entire weekend. We played Chrono Trigger, Zelda, Mortal Kombat, and other awesome games from start to finish. We would take turns sleeping at night and playing the game continuously. Only waking each other up on Saturday night for important story lines or boss fights. Sunday afternoon our parents would finally come pick us up from the house we stayed at for the weekend. Man that was some fun times as a kid! We were always good friends that loved comic books and games. We were amazed when one of our group had the internet! It was like a new dimension of space and time. ... God I'm old. I have Chrono Trigger on my phone! Once in a blue moon I start it up and pass a mission. The music always makes me smile!

    I have to say, I feel fortunate that I grew up during the early to mid 90's era of gaming. Ocarina of Time, Chrono Trigger, multiple Final Fantasy titles, great sport titles. Story, innovation, exciting gameplay, it really felt like a truly golden age of gaming that for better or worse may never be repeated.

      The SNES had a ton of horsepower left on the bone. Nintendo has always tamped down the power of these consoles. There were actually prototypes being developed that could be upgraded by the at home or end user, similarly to PC's. I'd like to have seen that. I wonder what the SNES could've been had Nintendo gone that route instead of the N64. In that era the push for polygonal graphics was all but irresistible. There was so much more that could've been done with that system, that it feels like the boat really got missed. Big N got to far out ahead in some ways with the 64 and the industry wasn't really ready yet.

    My #1 for the SNES has and forever will be Super Mario RPG, and finding this video just now and seeing you have the same exact opinion is pretty awesome. It's the first game I've ever played that truly got me addicted to playing a videogame; when I was 9 years old, I would literally walk to my friend's house (where I first played it) every day just to play the game (I'm 32 now).

    Hey, man! Your content is super good and this video has been edited lovely!! I just subbed to your channel. Your script is good and I enjoy very much your sense of humor. I do I want to point one thing out, though. There are a lot of little hesitations and obvious spots where you stopped and comp-ed in. Maybe make your comps tighter and try to eliminate hesitations in your delivery. It makes your narration a little choppy and that creates a bit of a distraction while watching. Maybe I notice things most people don’t; I just wanted to let you know! I love what you’re doing. You’ve got a new fan here.💕

    I like the intro, how it starts with the music and information before you begin to speak about it. Information such as when it was launched etc.
    One thing you should improve, is speaking with more enthusiasm, it makes most people bored and not excited about what you're saying. Try to add in little jokes here and there, for example showing a broken nintendo character and saying how broken it was compared to one of the best on the list.

    Good to see Tetris Attack get a bit of attention. I became obsessed with it for a few years and developed quite a high degree of skill. The mechanics are so unique, nothing like it has ever existed. The satisfaction of pulling off long skill chains and huge combos created a fascination in my mind for how the algorithms within the game must have been structured. I then embarked on a mission to create a clone of it for PC, and that process was even more captivating than the game itself was.
