    Adding a couple notes to the buyer's guide. Look for a 1-CHIP model for the sharpest RGB output (see MyLifeInGaming feature: czcams.com/video/1k2HVB9S8CA/video.html ). Also, check out the Analogue Super NT: www.analogue.co/pages/super-nt/
    Features FPGA HDMI and supports 8bitdo Wireless controllers. Comes out in February.

      MetalJesusRocks would've loved to have seen zombies ate my neighbors in this video. Also do you plan on hacking your SNES classic and if so what games would you put? Actually that would be a good idea for future video what are your top games to hack onto your SNES classic. 😁

      MetalJesusRocks Some Games I would include is Donkey Kong Country 2, which I personally think is better than the original, I think Gradius III is a must have for sci-fi side scroller shooter, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers is a guilty pleasure of mine which I personally love, Sunset Riders I think is one of the best games for the console, Mega Man X, StarFox and the Star Wars Games I think are great as well

    • @ModestGamer84

      Wing Commander is fun to play it has some RPG elements (if you talk to people at a bar on your ship they give you clues about the enemy). You have limited fuel, a map of your mission area, and if you lose one gun your other gun shoots faster. It’s just fun.

      Yoshi's Island isn't anyone's favorite game on the SNES. SMW is easily the better game. It's the original Ocarina vs. Majora's Mask, and as we all know, Ocarina is a better game. Facts are facts, and sometimes you have to face them...with your face.

    This was my OG collection-- November 1992 through August 1996-- in rough order of when I got them. I went to a boarding school from 1994 to 1996 where I couldn't bring my SNES so I missed out on a lot of the great games released in the latter half of 1994 on through summer of 1996. The last three listed here I picked up heavily discounted from Toys R Us in July/August 1996.
    I'd recommend all of these.
    (I sold off console and games that August 1996 in order to get a N64. A year later I had buyer's remorse and bought a SNES/Super Gameboy combo from Wal-mart and started my collection all over again).
    1) Street Fighter II 2) Super Mario Kart 3) Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past 4) ActRaiser 5) Super Star Wars 6) Star Fox 7) Cybernator 8) Batman Returns 9) Street Fighter II Turbo 10) Super Bomberman w/ Multitap 11) Secret of Mana 12) Super Empire Strikes Back 13) ActRaiser 2 14) Super Ghouls N Ghosts 15) Mega Man X 16) NBA Jam 17) Super Metroid 18) Killer Instinct 19) Doom (just for it being a red cartridge!) 20) Illusion of Gaia

    I have to mention Final Fantasy IV (released in NA as Final Fantasy II). It's common for people to automatically think of Final Fantasy III (aka VI) and Crono Trigger as the great pillars of Square's SNES output (which they are), but IV is an absolutely amazing game as well. It was the first RPG I ever played that had a story and characters that REALLY mattered.

    If I had a Super Nintendo, I would get the very first model because the first model has an eject button which pops out your cartridges. Accessory-wise, I would get Super Nintendo arcade sticks for fighting games, beat 'em ups, shooters and so on and I would get a multi-tap for the Bomberman series on the Super Nintendo. Plus, I would also get the Super Game Boy add-on for the Super Nintendo because the Super Game Boy plays all of your classic Game Boy games on your TV. Warning: the Super Game Boy cannot play Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance games. If you want to play Game Boy Color games on your TV, then I recommend getting the Super Game Boy 2. Game-wise, I would get:
    1. Ms. Pac-Man (Like the Sega Genesis/Sega Mega Drive version, the Super Nintendo version has the Pac-Booster option, original arcade, big, mini and strange mazes and so on).
    2. Final Fight.
    3. Final Fight 2.
    4. Final Fight 3.
    5. Final Fight Guy.
    6. Super Street Fighter 2: The New Challengers.
    7. Kirby's Avalanche.
    8. Super Mario All-Stars.
    9. Pac-Attack.
    10. Super Bomberman.
    11. Super Bomberman 2.
    12. Super Bomberman 3.
    13. Art of Fighting.
    14. Mortal Kombat.
    15. Mortal Kombat 2.
    16. Mortal Kombat 3.
    17. Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3.
    18. Street Fighter Alpha 2.
    19. Space Invaders.
    20. Fatal Fury: King of Fighters.
    21. Fatal Fury 2.
    22. Fatal Fury Special.
    And 23. Super Mario Kart.

    Games I had as a kid that still hold up: DKC, Mario Kart, Mario All Stars, Aladdin, F Zero... What a gift. Used to play Zombies at my neighbor’s house, awesome co-op, along with Mario World. Another friend had Turtles In Time, DKC2, and Kirby Super Star, man what a library. It was the mid to late 90s and everyone still played the crap out of the Super Nintendo. So grateful for that era. Then when Pokémon exploded I felt like the biggest badass playing Pokémon Blue on my basement TV. They no longer made games for the system by then, but we barely noticed. PS1 and N64 crept into the circuit very gradually, the system just refused to die. Long Live The Super Nintendo!! (Nobody I knew ever called it SNES)

      Mario Paint was pretty sweet honestly, very advanced for the time, but the fact that you couldn't really save certain things or reproduce the work makes it seem gimmicky. Full music composer and that cool fly swatter game. They also had little 4 step animations, and custom track ins for objects, shit was really tight. For its time it was way up there, Id take that over ms paint any day, even today's. It does almost all the same stuff one way or another.

    Very good selection! It's obviously missing many fantastic titles, as the SNES has a great library, but if I had to add just one more, my absolute favorite game for the system is Kirby Super Star. It consists of many smaller adventures with very different stories and play styles, the many abilities and moves you can use is amazing, the graphics and music are fantastic, and it has 2-player co-op. It should absolutely be on every SNES owner's shelf.

  • @raypadilla254

    I think the SNES didn't get all three elephants on both sides because it didn't have enough CPU speed to animate them, and the Genesis had the CPU speed but it didn't have enough colors to color all six elephants! And the TurboGrafx 16 didn't have the parallax scrolling to do all the elephants! Sucks that all the 16 bit systems had their limitations to get all the elephants on that stage! I think if it were made for the neogeo it would've been a perfect Port! I have no idea why I'm knit picking it was still awesome on all three consoles! Maybe if the SNES would've used a DSP chip for more speed then it would be possible on it! And if the TurboGrafx 16 had added a parallax scrolling chip to the hu card then maybe it could've been done on it! But the Genesis is the only one that it wouldn't be possible on because of the 64 colors on screen unless programmers could find a way to use more colors out of the 512! Lol

    I was thinking how I have made big lists before, but it is unrealistic to have collections that big, even when the Super Nintendo was out, we only had about 20 games total.
    I feel the SNES Classic list is pretty solid already, so I would mention 30 games that are very enjoyable not included in the SNES Classic:
    - ActRaiser
    - Axelay
    - Battletoads & Double Dragon
    - Captain America & The Avengers
    - Chrono Trigger
    - Diddy's Kong Quest
    - Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!
    - Goof Troop
    - Gradius III
    - Hagane The Final Conflict
    - HyperZone
    - Illusion Of Gaia
    - Imperium
    - Killer Instinct
    - Mega Man X2
    - Mega Man X3
    - Mortal Kombat II
    - Mortal Kombat 3
    - Ninja Warriors
    - Prince Of Persia
    - Robotrek
    - Run Saber
    - Skyblazer
    - Soul Blazer
    - Space Megaforce
    - Sunset Riders
    - Tetris Attack
    - Turtles In Time
    - U.N. Squadron
    - Wild Guns

    Things to note if you don't want to spend alot more for physical SNES carts, or if you want to play on HDMI Displays w/o any adapters or additional cables;
    A SNES Classic will give you Donkey Kong Country, Super Mario World, Super Metroid, Final Fantasy 3, Street Fighter 2 Turbo, Super Ghouls and Ghosts, Zelda: A Link to the Past
    Most games just listed are available off of nintendo's eshop (at least on the Wii U's eshop)
    Chrono Trigger can be purchased on Steam, or you can get the original DS version, both are very identical to the version on the Super Nintendo
    Super Mario All-Stars is available physically on the Wii, I recommend playing WIi games on the Wii U
    Only exclusives I see here that haven't been rereleased are Biker Mice From Mars, ActRaiser and Turtles In Time

    Some inaccuracies...
    The SNES controller was not based on the NES/Famicom dogbone controller. The NES-101 (top loader) was released with the newky designed dogbone controller in the USA and Japan in 1993. The SNES, of course, was released in 1990 (Japan) / 1991 (USA). So the dogbone controller was in fact based on the SNS -001 controller.
    The SNES 101 (AKA SNES 2, JR, Mini). It's biggest shortcoming is the lack of native RGB. Luckily there is a mod for it. With this mod, you will have the very best looking RGB color output. RGB is important if you plan on using the mention HDRetrovision YPbPr component cables. Otherwise it will not work AT ALL!
    Svideo is also a huge improvement for a CRT as well. Composite looks pretty poor on a CRT IMO.

    Personal favorites are already listed. Games I loved that didn't make the list are many. But the best one? Lufia 2: Rise of the Sinistrals. Zelda like puzzle solving with tools in dungeons, seeing the monsters to try and avoid the encounters in said dungeons, raising monsters to fight beside you, a huge cast of characters, and a unique challenge in the Ancient Cave. There is a ton to like for anyone who enjoys turn based RPGs. Wish this series was still alive. Only downside was that if you did the Ancient Cave early, the blue items that you can take with you would OP your characters very early in the story. Love BoF2 as well for those looking for a more challenging foray. Also anything Quintet(get that European copy of Terranigma!).
