I think that although this has 9 less games, it still has much more content since the nes had mostly arcade style games that are pretty hard and short but the snes has mostly full length classic games that can take many hours to beat
I never experienced the snes, as I was born in the ds-Wii generation, but I am hyped for this. These games look like full games that I could enjoy, and I don't see any reason why people would dismiss them because of retro graphics. So now I will experience the snes like many older Nintendo fans did when they were my age! wooooo
True and it was this that made Yoshis Island such an admirable bold move. They had perfection and could have so easily sold the same game to us again but instead tried to create an equally awesome game that was completely different in almost every way.
Top fives games for me after playing them all again recently: 1) Super Metroid 2) Super Mario World 3) Secret of Mana 4) Yoshi's Island 5) Link to the Past
@@bomorman23 I didn't play it untill it came out. Heard it was class, but really didn't expect to find a platformer as good, if not better than Super Mario World as I though it was untouchable. Was an amazing surprise th-cam.com/video/6HviKv8seoY/w-d-xo.html&t
I know right Zelda was my fave over all game but secret of mana was my fave jrpg for agaes and i played FF3 and Chrono a few years back on emulation and cant beside between the 2 of those which is my new fave - grew up with so many of those games though :)
Yeah, I was just thinking that myself. Chrono-Trigger really should have been there instead of Kirby's Dream Course. Still, it's a pretty stellar list overall, and I can't really complain about it--other than the fact I'd have liked there to be 30 games. With 30 games Nintendo could have included the likes of Chrono-Trigger, Killer Instinct, Super Bomberman, Turtles in Time, Actraiser, Super Aleste, Mortal Kombat 2, Super Tennis, U.N. Squadron and Sim City.
inceptional, kirby's dream course is actually really dang good, surprisingly. I would rather have it there than any you listed....except chrono trigger.
Ichabaud Craine To me It felt unusual going from directional pad to analog stick when the N64 came out. I somehow liked the challenge of feel of sharp turns in SNES mario kart.
Thanks for this great rundown. I came from a fairly modest background so Nintendo was well out of my reach as a child. The chance to play these games now is beyond appealing. Thankyou.
I still can't believe how good this line up is! Ok I'm showing my age as I actually still own all these games apart from the obvious StarFox/Wing2 and Mario RPG as it never arrived for the SNES in the UK or Europe. Im 34 and like a kid at Christmas Im that excited, I have Mario RPG on the WiiU but cant wait to play it on "SNES" hardware with SNES pads, and two pads straight out the box is fantastic. But the cherry on the cake for me is without doubt StarFox2, an official release by Nintendo, Im still in total shock, I was so so gutted as a 13-14 year old in 95 when it was canned and I never, ever thought it would see the light of day outside the holy doors of Nintendo HQ in Kyoto! Add Mario RPG (for UK gamers!) to that and you've a sure fire hit and without question, a total must have! Those two games alone for me make it worth every penny of the £79.99 asking price! Nintendo are smashing it right now, Im a gamer and love games what ever console there on, but it has to be said that my XboxOne hasn't seen power so far in 2017 and the PS4 has only seen about an hour at a push since March and thats only to get my Street Fighter 5 and King Of Fighters 14 fix my Switch on the other hand has hardly been off! Now I no the SNES mini hasn't even arrived yet... but... a Nintendo 64 mini... mark my words, it'll happen, and... WOW! MJ
James Foxworth He refers to the "Mini "concept. The Nes and Snes were smallet to take them where you want. But the GBA is already a portable console, making it smaller it's almost impossible. It should be a GBA classic Edition or collection. Still, we mes N64 Mini first, and i Think that will be released on 2019 or 2020.
Just bought this yesterday.I am now playing games before my time and they are really entertaining.Also it's a great console for the whole family to enjoy
I'm kinda amazed that a dude working for a site called "Nintendo Life" hasn't played every single one of these games at least once. And I'm not saying I expect you to have completed them, Alex, but I honestly would have expected you to have tried them all at least a single time. :-o Your work ethic isn't in question--you put in the hours and churn out some truly great stuff--but you proper fanboyism is being challenged right about now, sir. lol
Ichabaud Craine some of us lead busy lives and don't get the time to finish every game under the sun despite how much we would like to. He could have just lied about it as many have but he is honest while still displaying a keen interest and fan boyism that makes him just as much of a gamer as you or I. Plus he also has a kick ass voice.
Would we need a HDMI coords for the console or can we use the red, white, and yellow coords so I can feel the nostalga when hooking it up to my box tv.
9 more games that should have been here: 1. Turtles in Time (Of Course!) 2. Mortal Kombat II 3. Donkey Kong Country 2 4. Final Fantasy II 5. Illusion of Gaia 6. Chrono Trigger 7. Donkey Kong Country 3 8. Pilotwings 9. Killer Instinct Honorable mention for: 1. Mega Man X2 2. Mega Man X3 3. Mega Man 7 4. Sim City 5. Super Street Fighter II 6. The Magical Quest Starring Mickey Mouse 7. Super Bomberman 2 8. Rock 'N Roll Racing (Underrated gem) 9. Final Fight 3
Joseph Patin i wish Mario All Stars was there, so I could play the OG, Lost Levels, Mario Bros 3, and Mario Bros 2, maybe i would need practice before Lost Levels
Thinking about getting the Snes Mini. But since Nintendo not ready to put Virtual Console on Switch yet, What if Nintendo could make Nes or Snes Classics on a Switch GameCard? Similar to Seiken Densetsu Collection that came out on GameCard in Japan.:)
Stupid question. As far as gameplay/feel.. is there any difference at all between the games on the snes or nes minis, and the original systems with carts? Are they really completely indistinguishable? .. outside of scan lines vs a real crt of course.
I'm surprised you know so little about Super NES games. This is part of the golden age of Nintendo. You gotta sit down and play these games if you want to deserve the name Nintendo Life.
2:25 Mother 2? What about Mother 1? Btw I have heard the people wanted Nintendo to localize Mother 3. So are there 3 games? And is on of them in English?
I'm actually surprised at how poor your knowledge is on the SNES. No mention of the super fx chip? Castlevania IV stuck in the past? have you not played the originals? super ghouls and ghosts is known as being a vastly easier game then Ghouls and ghosts? star fox one of the first 3d console games? really?
No offense Alex, but I actually have to agree with addisonox. To be giving Nintendo news, yet not playing FFVI or Secret of Mana doesn't make sense to me. Since news of the SNES Mini has emerged, I've been so disappointed to hear that so many people who are giving Nintendo news have never touched any of the Squaresoft games, or can't understand why SFII Turbo is on there.
addisonox that's what I was thinking. He must be young or something. When he said he didn't know much about Contra, I was like WTF. The way he talks about the games is with almost no nostalgia like he wasn't around (or old enough) at the time.
In this case though, it is rather odd for someone with a channel called "Nintendo Life" who reports on a news item has not played or doesn't understand some of these games. 1st off, I think it's kind of mandatory to do some research when talking about things and secondly, there is a reason they chose these specific games to put on the snes mini and most nintendo fans would get why.
Snes graphics still look impressive for what they are. Somehow I can see these as real and today's graphics are just ordinary. Idk why.🤔 great sound also
WHAT an unforgettable gaming memories!! endless hours of playing in our young n teen age!! how can i forget Zelda, F-Zero, Donkey Kong, Star Wings and of course S Mario world!!?? NEVER..!! i still play Street Fighter..!! those were BY FAR the BEST years of my life . . ! ! ;-)
lol The Metroid game is "in full color".... "When Metroid really started to come into it's own" You do know there was an epic metroid game on NES right? One of the best games on the system and earliest.
waxcpc metroid on the NES was good and all, but super metroid wipes the floor with it. the atmosphere is creepier, the music is better, the upgrades are more plentiful, you can actually save the game, and the map filling in as you go makes it more explorative and less wandering around
Super Mario Kart was one of my favorites. Me and my cousins use to stay up all night playing that game.. And it hard at 1st but like anything else, practice makes perfect. Plus the battle rounds are great.
2017 is without a doubt the year of Nintendo. Two new Metroids, Super SNES and now with a game we've never played of Star Fox. Yay people, senpai noticed us. Metroid and Star Fox 2! Finally! Something's missing? Oh yeah, F-Zero
I have the Mini SNES and the Mini NES, they're nice! My favorites on the SNES are Contra, F-Zero, and EarthBound! There's a rewind option too which can be used to complete any game with no deaths. Like say we play contra ok? Everytime you die, go out and go to the square thing, click x and you can watch a replay of you and then click start before you die. AS IF YOU CAN GO BACK TO THE PAST
I guess when your signed on with a TH-cam Nintendo partnership, your not allowed to dislike anything, therefore you can only make very stale, predictable videos.
I didn't have an SNES growing up. I had a Sega Genesis (which I loved also) but I feel hands down that the SNES is the greatest gaming console, the golden age of games, the best titles in gaming history for respected franchises can be found here. Polished upgrades of previous NES entries like Zelda and Metroid are improved here. I feel like no console defines gaming more. Kirby Super Star is my fave on the console but there are so many games for SNES!! Some that didn't come to the west either! 20 games is a HUGE shame tbh. Chrono Trigger, the other DK games, the Dragon Quest titles, Tales of Phantasia, Terranigma, Secret of Mana & Seiken Densetsu 3, Metal Warriors, Harvest Moon, Cybernator, Clock Tower, etc etc etc. I wish they would put more than 20 games on this! Especially for 80 FREAKING dollars.
so 20 games, and the narrator as played like 4 maybe 5 of them? seriously, fire them up and play for like 15 minutes or something. or get someone who has played most of them.
5:20 uh, you're saying a game from 1992 was copied by its predecessor from 1986? They're the only top-down Zelda games, the first from 1986, and Link to the Past. In Japan (who saw the game in 1991), they called it Zelda III, and in early posters that were included with the SNES, they called it Zelda III. Link to the Past copied the original's top down, and added a load of new stuff since the SNES had more processing power to handle it.
For someone who run gaming channel you sound ignorant on Snes topic, you hope that FF VI is good ? FF VI is one of the most complex JRPGs, one of the greatest video games of all time, its a masterpiece of existential nihilism...
JUSXTREME96 bro im in the PAL region , FF 6 was released originally in 1994 in Japan, since then it was ported on various systems, all NES and SNES FF games are ported and available to play , on platforms like PS1 , GBA , NDS, PSP etc. First time I played FF6 was 14 years ago on PAL PS1 , and later on moded SNES, and GBA... this guy is cool, but he had last 15 years to play snes games that was not originally released in PAL region
Especially when you consider that in the minds of most people, the SNES is the greatest Nintendo console of all-time, so some background experience is required if you intend for people to take you seriously. Worst of all, most the titles are pretty popular, and the fact that he hasn't played any of the third-party titles and even some of the first party titles is shocking.
I really really hope that this thing gets released with downloadable access codes to load a shit more games onto the system. Including the other DKC games, Star Wars, Jurassic Park, some sports titles, among others. I'm not so much disappointed, as I'm surprised it even this had less than the NES classic.
6:24 As a Secret of Mana fan I have to say that it strikes me as eternally frustrating that very few people know how to play this game properly. Check it: When you swing your weapon, you don't just repeatedly mash on the button like you're playing Super Mario Bros 3 during a Tanooki Suit flight. Pay attention to the percentage in the attack power bar. Low percentage means a weak flailing attack. Which is why you get 0 or super low hit numbers. Wait until the percentage builds up to 100% and swing to get the maximum attack power that that level of weapon allows. In addition, each weapon levels up over the course of the game. This means that when you hold the attack button it cycles through each level of power for that weapon and you can get massive hit points on a single swing. The downside being you're slow and open to attack at any moment. Which means you have to be strategic about charging the attack power bar. I swear it makes the game immensely more fun and interesting. Now you know. And knowing is half the battle.
As the host of a channel called "Nintendo Life", you should really do yourself a favor and expand your video game knowledge. I'm baffled by how many of these games you haven't played.
“I haven’t played most of these games and I haven’t bothered to read up on them; nevertheless here’s a 15 minute long list of them, raking up add revenue for my lazy butt. Nevertheless nevertheless nevertheless.”
Everyone's sat in the office for the daily briefing. Nintendo Life video editor asks: "who has the least amount of SNES knowledge, has never played any of the games to show and not willing to do any research"? Alex puts his hand up. Video editor: "you're up for the SNES mini games video. Do what you like".
Was the SNES the best ever console? I honestly don't think I've enjoyed a console/games as much a I did on the SNES. Yes the N64 was amazing with games in 3d, but they were just SNES games in 3d in some respects.
Rob N I feel that in terms of the gaming industry as a whole the SNES was the golden age of all video games. The peak of creativity, innovation, and love and care put into its games. In my opinion, anyway. I think Chrono Trigger (which should have been on here) is the best game of all time, but I wasn't even alive to see the SNES, so. . .
Real excited for some Street Fighter 2 Turbo with those included 2 controllers. And, I've been waiting forever to play some Yoshi's Island on real hardware again.
Seriously good line up. Only 21 games but they're some of the best it had to offer, BTW Mario cart was brilliant because it was so hard and unforgiving, so when you did master it it was so satisfying
Dislike because of one reason: your channel is called "Nintendo Life", yet you have basically never played any of the games you're showcasing here. Seriously?
Tit Maus i stopped with Nintendo after GameCube. Yheir game quality went to shit on the N64 and GameCube and by then the console 3D graphics war was well on the way. I could never touch a WII.
dude i got one a couple weeks ago i spent 200 fuckin dollars at the mall and come to find out it was a knock off one...but it works amazing and not only that mine came with over 3000 games instead of only 21. LOL the only thing is it only came with one controller so i went in the very next day after i bought it and was like "hey man i just bought this yesterday and i thought it was supposed to come with 2 controllers?" and the guy immediately went to the case, without asking for a receipt or anything and literally just gave me one no problem at all! This freaking place is the best man seriously! I FUCKIN LOVE MY SNES MINI!!!!!! all these years have went by and i literally never thought i'd be able to play all those snes games i grew up with and loved as a kid. but now i can i literally have fuckin every game that there ever was!!
Can anyone help me with a question? Gamefaqs and reddit have not been helpful. The only Zelda games I have played are n64 onwards but really only enjoyed occarina of time (BotW was a bit meh). I enjoyed secret of mana which seems similar-ish can anyone recommend which nes/snes/gameboy game to try first?
Mojtaba Mortada Atleast with the SNES mini I get good games I can play on my own (name 5 switch exclusives that aren't better with friends and are out right now.)
Son Gohan Just because it was made half a year ago doesn't make it anymore worth getting for me. All I care about is what can I play on it now? And so far all I see are Zelda, that punching game no one cares about anymore, the unpolished sequel to one of the most unpolished shooters I've ever played. I can tell you right now, I'm not even going to consider buying a switch until I can see if the upcoming FE is another shitty waifu sim or not, or if the new pokemon is worth getting. Edit: Sorry for the text wall.
pieman19 they have panel de pon on the japanese version. panel de pon is the japanese tetris attack. I do wonder why they have SF2 Turbo for the US but the superior Super SF 2 for the japanese version.
Wish it had Chrono Trigger...then it would have my most memorable snes titles....super mario world...super metroid(metroid to nes was my 1st and loved it)...zelda...donkey kong country.....ff3....i miss all the ff games...it was so hard to get ur hands on the lower number ff's...i had almost all and beat almost all till i think 8 or 9....such good flippin games back in the day....those alone make the buy worth it....man jars some amazing childhood memories to make me not wanna really ever take life for granted its to precious and memories will always last a lifetime
One thing I'd like to point out for those of you that are freaking out over lack of games, there is something called COMPATABILITY in which you are able to put CARTRIDGES in the mini snes, so games are not limited to the 21 games already on this. And if I'm not mistaken it can play nes cartriges too
I think that although this has 9 less games, it still has much more content since the nes had mostly arcade style games that are pretty hard and short but the snes has mostly full length classic games that can take many hours to beat
yea cant wait to play earthbound. i main ness in smash and hes really made me intrested in earthbound
Sure, but that doesn't make me feel any better whatsoever that we have 33% less games now for 33% more money.
inceptional then you are lost!
And one day I will be found. . . .
PeanutButterSan The Sandwich awesome story! (not sarcasm!)
SNES MINI - 'But Nevertheless' Edition.
I never experienced the snes, as I was born in the ds-Wii generation, but I am hyped for this. These games look like full games that I could enjoy, and I don't see any reason why people would dismiss them because of retro graphics. So now I will experience the snes like many older Nintendo fans did when they were my age! wooooo
klub7justin im good thanks
I was born in the 2001 and I got to experience all of the classic Nintendo games through the Virtual Console on the Wii.
Emulation... 'nuff said.
Enjoy...
I thought you've born in the Augustus and Herod generation
Can't wait for the Philips CDi Classic Mini.
hahaha
LMAO
Super Mario World = basically a perfect game, for all intents and purposes, imo.
True and it was this that made Yoshis Island such an admirable bold move. They had perfection and could have so easily sold the same game to us again but instead tried to create an equally awesome game that was completely different in almost every way.
I bought this for my husband for Christmas, we are both in our 40s, I am the best wife eva 🤣🤣😘😘😘😘
Nice 😁👌
Yes true
Mario Kart is my all time fav, I'm 41 and I still love console games :)
Thank you for showing game footage from each of the games, can't wait to get my hands on this!
Top fives games for me after playing them all again recently:
1) Super Metroid
2) Super Mario World
3) Secret of Mana
4) Yoshi's Island
5) Link to the Past
Ok I’m getting this now since it has yoshi island
@@bomorman23 I didn't play it untill it came out. Heard it was class, but really didn't expect to find a platformer as good, if not better than Super Mario World as I though it was untouchable. Was an amazing surprise th-cam.com/video/6HviKv8seoY/w-d-xo.html&t
Do we need a nevertheless count?
Andrew Brozovich I went back and kept count as best as I could and I counted 12 times
No, but nevertheless it would be interesting to have...
Andrew Brozovich it was driving me insane
No, we don't. You need a life however.
yes
that lack of Chrono trigger though
I know right Zelda was my fave over all game but secret of mana was my fave jrpg for agaes and i played FF3 and Chrono a few years back on emulation and cant beside between the 2 of those which is my new fave - grew up with so many of those games though :)
Yeah, I was just thinking that myself. Chrono-Trigger really should have been there instead of Kirby's Dream Course.

With 30 games Nintendo could have included the likes of Chrono-Trigger, Killer Instinct, Super Bomberman, Turtles in Time, Actraiser, Super Aleste, Mortal Kombat 2, Super Tennis, U.N. Squadron and Sim City.
Maybe because they (Nintendo) consider the 3DS versio n as being the definitive one.
*Cough* Modding *Cough*
inceptional, kirby's dream course is actually really dang good, surprisingly. I would rather have it there than any you listed....except chrono trigger.
Who else was triggered that he wasn't whipping the candles?
Not me! I honestly don't like any of the castlevania games. I tried a few, never got the appeal.
Who else was triggered that he played only the first 5 minutes of every game?
I was triggered i guess you could say i was Chrono Triggered
I'm not even sorry with that pun
Yeah, and I guess any Castlevania title that doesn't play like Symphony of the Night is "stuck in the past."
Those candles needed a very good whoopins....ther were very very naughty.
i'd be fuckin embarrassed mate to be honest putting up a video on a channel called nintendo life where you admit to never having played mario kart.
Ichabaud Craine To me It felt unusual going from directional pad to analog stick when the N64 came out. I somehow liked the challenge of feel of sharp turns in SNES mario kart.
Yeah its crazy all these new millenial youtubers trying to play retro. And they dont even know which games were boss.
Thanks for this great rundown. I came from a fairly modest background so Nintendo was well out of my reach as a child. The chance to play these games now is beyond appealing. Thankyou.

BOX-BREAKER I think you're in love, and I think you're not the only one 😅
Indeed! lol, sorry if I "rabbited" on, but Im so excited about the Nintendo 'mini' series! :)
BOX-BREAKER There's no need to apologise. I know exactly how you feel 😅
Eko Cahyo Fuck off
My nephew is getting one for his birthday in may he will be 6
So HYPED, even as someone who had a good many of those games on his original SNES.
I bet that if they release a gba classic they will include mother 3
James Foxworth but star fox 2 is on the snes mini. Also how can a gba be even smaller.
James Foxworth He refers to the "Mini "concept. The Nes and Snes were smallet to take them where you want. But the GBA is already a portable console, making it smaller it's almost impossible. It should be a GBA classic Edition or collection. Still, we mes N64 Mini first, and i Think that will be released on 2019 or 2020.
I doubt it. Nintendo has been a dick with the Mother series, especially with Mother 3. Thanks Reggie.
OH!! MY HEART IS BEATING SO FAST! SEEING ALL THOSE CLASSICS THAT YOU PLAYED AS A KID. OHHHH!
Somehow a fucking Kirby golf game is more important to Nintendo than Donkey Kong Country 2 and 3. Come on, Nintendo.
Virtual Nerd or Chrono Trigger or Turtles in Time
Prototype7934 Gaming You're right! I didn't even realize that those masterpieces are missing from the SNES Mini's library!
Prototype7934 Gaming people always say those 2 but of course there are license issues. as for DKC 2 & 3 They should have included those.
JUSXTREME96 thanks for the info
DKC2 is definitely a superior game.
Just bought this yesterday.I am now playing games before my time and they are really entertaining.Also it's a great console for the whole family to enjoy
I've never played Earthbound before. I know everyone says it's very feel-worth with the story, and I believe them. I cannot wait to finally play this!
Mistergamer9892 I Nike more Mother 3 but Earthbound/Mother 2 is awesome.
Mistergamer9892 i like more Mother 3 but Earthbound/Mother 2 is awesome.
Mistergamer9892 i like more Mother 3 but Earthbound/Mother 2 is awesome too.
It is honestly brilliant, stick with it as it will definitely pay off and don't feel bad about consulting a walkthrough at any point!
This looks great. I can't wait to get one of these.
No Turtles in Time :(
TheMeravok license issues
I'm sure he's never played it or any beat-em-up, for that matter.
TheMeravok I would pay anything for Turtles in Time.
Well, thankfully there's a 3 min hack that gets you every game you desire ;)
I was waiting for a video like this! Thanks
I'm kinda amazed that a dude working for a site called "Nintendo Life" hasn't played every single one of these games at least once. And I'm not saying I expect you to have completed them, Alex, but I honestly would have expected you to have tried them all at least a single time. :-o
Your work ethic isn't in question--you put in the hours and churn out some truly great stuff--but you proper fanboyism is being challenged right about now, sir. lol
inceptional at least he is honest about it.
Max Quisling what defence is that
Ichabaud Craine some of us lead busy lives and don't get the time to finish every game under the sun despite how much we would like to. He could have just lied about it as many have but he is honest while still displaying a keen interest and fan boyism that makes him just as much of a gamer as you or I. Plus he also has a kick ass voice.
Ichabaud Craine what kind of argument is that.
'SOME OF US' don't have a TH-cam news channel called 'Nintendo Life'.
Would we need a HDMI coords for the console or can we use the red, white, and yellow coords so I can feel the nostalga when hooking it up to my box tv.
9 more games that should have been here:

What about Kirby's Dream Land 3?
Power Rangers The Fighting Edition!
Super Mario All-Stars!!!
Thanks for sharing very handy to know what games are available on this unit before purchasing. We're gana hv hours of fun
Alex did you ever hear of the Official Nintendo Magazine(ONM)? They shut down a couple of years ago, but their office was in England I think.
Kapp'n Zubby miss them dearly, was a great quality magazine
Kapp'n Zubby my first and last magazine from them was the best. Managed to get my Wii skins 😁
cadieux. ONM: Gone but never forgotten
Sabina Miah Me too ^.^
Thinking about getting the Snes Mini. But since Nintendo not ready to put Virtual Console on Switch yet, What if Nintendo could make Nes or Snes Classics on a Switch GameCard? Similar to Seiken Densetsu Collection that came out on GameCard in Japan.:)
I saw megaman x and thought "Im buying snes mini just for my megaman"
Yea me 2
Stupid question. As far as gameplay/feel.. is there any difference at all between the games on the snes or nes minis, and the original systems with carts? Are they really completely indistinguishable? .. outside of scan lines vs a real crt of course.
"never the less" intensifies ...
I own a SNES and most of these games already. I still want this.
So looking forward to play The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past again! xx
I'm surprised you know so little about Super NES games. This is part of the golden age of Nintendo. You gotta sit down and play these games if you want to deserve the name Nintendo Life.
I'm Chrono triggered
Damn it one day later
not the 1st time with the PS1 I was Chrono crossed
why are gamers like this
shut up kirby go back to dreamland
2:25 Mother 2? What about Mother 1? Btw I have heard the people wanted Nintendo to localize Mother 3. So are there 3 games? And is on of them in English?
I'll choose this Snes Classic over Switch, PS4 and XB1.
Yeah!
Will their be any expansion packs? Like for instance the Neo Geo X Hold had further expansion game bundles only later to peterd out?
I'm actually surprised at how poor your knowledge is on the SNES. No mention of the super fx chip? Castlevania IV stuck in the past? have you not played the originals? super ghouls and ghosts is known as being a vastly easier game then Ghouls and ghosts? star fox one of the first 3d console games? really?
No offense Alex, but I actually have to agree with addisonox. To be giving Nintendo news, yet not playing FFVI or Secret of Mana doesn't make sense to me. Since news of the SNES Mini has emerged, I've been so disappointed to hear that so many people who are giving Nintendo news have never touched any of the Squaresoft games, or can't understand why SFII Turbo is on there.
addisonox that's what I was thinking. He must be young or something. When he said he didn't know much about Contra, I was like WTF. The way he talks about the games is with almost no nostalgia like he wasn't around (or old enough) at the time.
Dru 1 a lot of these games was never released in the pal region. Europeans got stiffed a bit on the game selection. well for the nostalgia factor.
In this case though, it is rather odd for someone with a channel called "Nintendo Life" who reports on a news item has not played or doesn't understand some of these games. 1st off, I think it's kind of mandatory to do some research when talking about things and secondly, there is a reason they chose these specific games to put on the snes mini and most nintendo fans would get why.
Ha! Half of his reviews were "I haven't played it, but I heard it's good."
I got the SNES Mini a couple of weeks ago. Great console. Kirby, Super Mario World, Street Fighter etc. Great games on there. 👍
You seem like you are not really that informed on video games, curious why even do stories on them?
Does the snes have a save system because my sega genesis mini doesn't so I was wondering
Snes graphics still look impressive for what they are. Somehow I can see these as real and today's graphics are just ordinary. Idk why.🤔 great sound also
WHAT an unforgettable gaming memories!! endless hours of playing in our young n teen age!! how can i forget Zelda, F-Zero, Donkey Kong, Star Wings and of course S Mario world!!?? NEVER..!! i still play Street Fighter..!! those were BY FAR the BEST years of my life . . ! ! ;-)
lol The Metroid game is "in full color".... "When Metroid really started to come into it's own"
You do know there was an epic metroid game on NES right? One of the best games on the system and earliest.
waxcpc metroid on the NES was good and all, but super metroid wipes the floor with it. the atmosphere is creepier, the music is better, the upgrades are more plentiful, you can actually save the game, and the map filling in as you go makes it more explorative and less wandering around
The original Metroid blows ass
@@Rountree1985 nope, but these flying leaves are super annoying
So many great games on this thing. Super Castlevania 4 is my favourite game of all time, so I'll have to try and get one of these.
Hello I'm Alex lovely people and I haven't played this game. 😂
Pretty much every game on the system.
contra, castlevania, megaman have been all time favorites but one game that has always been under rated is rock n roll racing. what a crazy good game.
Alex says "nevertheless" like 1000 times
Bernat A don't forget "great game" and " I know I know... It's a..."
Saying honestly on each game insinuates that everything outside of that sentence is a lie!
Colin Johnston yes drax
He also can't pronounce Mario correctly...
Super Mario Kart was one of my favorites. Me and my cousins use to stay up all night playing that game.. And it hard at 1st but like anything else, practice makes perfect. Plus the battle rounds are great.
nevertheless
My childhood comes flooding back.
Seriously, how the hell can you not have played Street Fighter II Turbo: Hyper Fighting? :-o
Ppoo0
when do they go up for pre order in America. this video is giving me anxiety like I won't be able to get one like the last classic edition
I would have loved that the TMNT game were on the list.
Pizza Dude yeah me too and star wars games should be.
Eko Cahyo Fuck off
would be a licensing nightmare
I have an old SNES with about half these games. They picked pretty good for the most part.
I like your commentary but i wish there was a bit more indepth knowledge than oh this is weird game or this is a good game...
2017 is without a doubt the year of Nintendo. Two new Metroids, Super SNES and now with a game we've never played of Star Fox. Yay people, senpai noticed us. Metroid and Star Fox 2! Finally!
Something's missing? Oh yeah, F-Zero
Shame both Game and Nintendo official store are sold out of preorders already. The scalpers win again.
I have the Mini SNES and the Mini NES, they're nice!
My favorites on the SNES are Contra, F-Zero, and EarthBound!
There's a rewind option too which can be used to complete any game with no deaths.
Like say we play contra ok?
Everytime you die, go out and go to the square thing, click x and you can watch a replay of you and then click start before you die.
AS IF YOU CAN GO BACK TO THE PAST
Do you get all six life’s back too on contra?
I guess when your signed on with a TH-cam Nintendo partnership, your not allowed to dislike anything, therefore you can only make very stale, predictable videos.
@Fluds Othree 21*
Just got one this morning. They had like a million of them at Best Buy.
"I haven't played any of these games, but here's some video"
I’m grabbing one soon. Most of the reason I am is so I can experience Mario RPG. I crave that nostalgia that so many have for this game
What kind of nintendo fan are you then??
I didn't have an SNES growing up. I had a Sega Genesis (which I loved also) but I feel hands down that the SNES is the greatest gaming console, the golden age of games, the best titles in gaming history for respected franchises can be found here. Polished upgrades of previous NES entries like Zelda and Metroid are improved here. I feel like no console defines gaming more. Kirby Super Star is my fave on the console but there are so many games for SNES!! Some that didn't come to the west either! 20 games is a HUGE shame tbh. Chrono Trigger, the other DK games, the Dragon Quest titles, Tales of Phantasia, Terranigma, Secret of Mana & Seiken Densetsu 3, Metal Warriors, Harvest Moon, Cybernator, Clock Tower, etc etc etc. I wish they would put more than 20 games on this! Especially for 80 FREAKING dollars.
so 20 games, and the narrator as played like 4 maybe 5 of them? seriously, fire them up and play for like 15 minutes or something. or get someone who has played most of them.
5:20 uh, you're saying a game from 1992 was copied by its predecessor from 1986? They're the only top-down Zelda games, the first from 1986, and Link to the Past. In Japan (who saw the game in 1991), they called it Zelda III, and in early posters that were included with the SNES, they called it Zelda III. Link to the Past copied the original's top down, and added a load of new stuff since the SNES had more processing power to handle it.
For someone who run gaming channel you sound ignorant on Snes topic, you hope that FF VI is good ? FF VI is one of the most complex JRPGs, one of the greatest video games of all time, its a masterpiece of existential nihilism...
chupathrash87 im assuming he's in the pal region where they didnt have final fantasy until 7 on ps1.
JUSXTREME96 bro im in the PAL region , FF 6 was released originally in 1994 in Japan, since then it was ported on various systems, all NES and SNES FF games are ported and available to play , on platforms like PS1 , GBA , NDS, PSP etc. First time I played FF6 was 14 years ago on PAL PS1 , and later on moded SNES, and GBA... this guy is cool, but he had last 15 years to play snes games that was not originally released in PAL region
chupathrash87 true
ikr, this guy is a fucking noob. don't know what he's talking about
Especially when you consider that in the minds of most people, the SNES is the greatest Nintendo console of all-time, so some background experience is required if you intend for people to take you seriously.
Worst of all, most the titles are pretty popular, and the fact that he hasn't played any of the third-party titles and even some of the first party titles is shocking.
Thx man was wanting this for xmas but wanted to know what was on it first and after i watch your video now u got me begging my mom for it 😂
I really really hope that this thing gets released with downloadable access codes to load a shit more games onto the system. Including the other DKC games, Star Wars, Jurassic Park, some sports titles, among others. I'm not so much disappointed, as I'm surprised it even this had less than the NES classic.
6:24 As a Secret of Mana fan I have to say that it strikes me as eternally frustrating that very few people know how to play this game properly.
Check it: When you swing your weapon, you don't just repeatedly mash on the button like you're playing Super Mario Bros 3 during a Tanooki Suit flight. Pay attention to the percentage in the attack power bar. Low percentage means a weak flailing attack. Which is why you get 0 or super low hit numbers. Wait until the percentage builds up to 100% and swing to get the maximum attack power that that level of weapon allows. In addition, each weapon levels up over the course of the game. This means that when you hold the attack button it cycles through each level of power for that weapon and you can get massive hit points on a single swing. The downside being you're slow and open to attack at any moment. Which means you have to be strategic about charging the attack power bar. I swear it makes the game immensely more fun and interesting.
Now you know. And knowing is half the battle.
As the host of a channel called "Nintendo Life", you should really do yourself a favor and expand your video game knowledge. I'm baffled by how many of these games you haven't played.
i hope they have a save option on these games. There wasn't on the nes mini
“I haven’t played most of these games and I haven’t bothered to read up on them; nevertheless here’s a 15 minute long list of them, raking up add revenue for my lazy butt. Nevertheless nevertheless nevertheless.”
Nevertheless!
Everyone's sat in the office for the daily briefing. Nintendo Life video editor asks: "who has the least amount of SNES knowledge, has never played any of the games to show and not willing to do any research"? Alex puts his hand up. Video editor: "you're up for the SNES mini games video. Do what you like".
Was the SNES the best ever console? I honestly don't think I've enjoyed a console/games as much a I did on the SNES. Yes the N64 was amazing with games in 3d, but they were just SNES games in 3d in some respects.
Rob N I feel that in terms of the gaming industry as a whole the SNES was the golden age of all video games. The peak of creativity, innovation, and love and care put into its games.
In my opinion, anyway. I think Chrono Trigger (which should have been on here) is the best game of all time, but I wasn't even alive to see the SNES, so. . .
Real excited for some Street Fighter 2 Turbo with those included 2 controllers. And, I've been waiting forever to play some Yoshi's Island on real hardware again.
Talk about clueless video, how about reading up atleast on all the games. "Oh I have no clue about this game... ehh but I heard great things about it"
Final Fantasy fucking 3. its 6
Seriously good line up. Only 21 games but they're some of the best it had to offer,
BTW Mario cart was brilliant because it was so hard and unforgiving, so when you did master it it was so satisfying
I stopped the Video when I heard "I've never played FF 3 before".
Vic Samo blasphemy of the highest grade.
Don't blame him. Blame Nintendo and Square for not releasing it in PAL territories.
God forbid someone hasn’t played every game in existence.
because it wasn't released in PAL region, ffs
Ruudos it was released in Europe on the PS1 and the GBA. Granted, that was many years after the original release. But still it was released in Europe.
so it doesnt come with a widescreen view?
Dislike because of one reason: your channel is called "Nintendo Life", yet you have basically never played any of the games you're showcasing here. Seriously?
Ok but shhh now geek feeb!
I just bought a couple of these on 3ds virtual console. Love me some Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and Super Mario World!
this man probably only plays wii games
Tit Maus i stopped with Nintendo after GameCube. Yheir game quality went to shit on the N64 and GameCube and by then the console 3D graphics war was well on the way.
I could never touch a WII.
Can you use the old cartridges?
MK 2
joshua s much better than Street Fighter 2
dude i got one a couple weeks ago i spent 200 fuckin dollars at the mall and come to find out it was a knock off one...but it works amazing and not only that mine came with over 3000 games instead of only 21. LOL the only thing is it only came with one controller so i went in the very next day after i bought it and was like "hey man i just bought this yesterday and i thought it was supposed to come with 2 controllers?" and the guy immediately went to the case, without asking for a receipt or anything and literally just gave me one no problem at all! This freaking place is the best man seriously! I FUCKIN LOVE MY SNES MINI!!!!!! all these years have went by and i literally never thought i'd be able to play all those snes games i grew up with and loved as a kid. but now i can i literally have fuckin every game that there ever was!!
Chrono Trigger?????
n21james1 I had the orginal snes version and it got stolen sad day indeed
Can anyone help me with a question? Gamefaqs and reddit have not been helpful. The only Zelda games I have played are n64 onwards but really only enjoyed occarina of time (BotW was a bit meh). I enjoyed secret of mana which seems similar-ish can anyone recommend which nes/snes/gameboy game to try first?
You can get a better deal with the Switch tbh.
Mojtaba Mortada Atleast with the SNES mini I get good games I can play on my own (name 5 switch exclusives that aren't better with friends and are out right now.)
MrRedGreenBlue1 You can't really compare a system that actually barely has half a year to a console that was made decades ago.
Son Gohan Just because it was made half a year ago doesn't make it anymore worth getting for me. All I care about is what can I play on it now? And so far all I see are Zelda, that punching game no one cares about anymore, the unpolished sequel to one of the most unpolished shooters I've ever played. I can tell you right now, I'm not even going to consider buying a switch until I can see if the upcoming FE is another shitty waifu sim or not, or if the new pokemon is worth getting.
Edit: Sorry for the text wall.
Is this thing even going to be available for pre-order in America?
This has got to be the worst review ever..
Dom Carson then why are you here?
rountree but he is here nevertheless. maybe he was here to watch something before buying instead of being a fan of the reviewer. pretty simple.
I thought that when he was talking about Earthbound. He was like "cba to explain this, just go play it". I was like ummm what??
i though that this was only an idea when the nes classic came out and now its real and im so happy
I NEED YOSHI'S COOKIE!!!
Yoshi's Safari needs the Super Scope 6 to work and Tetris Attack won't be re-released due to licensing issues
pieman19 they have panel de pon on the japanese version. panel de pon is the japanese tetris attack. I do wonder why they have SF2 Turbo for the US but the superior Super SF 2 for the japanese version.
SPOOCE CHANNEL!!! Love that game
Wish it had Chrono Trigger...then it would have my most memorable snes titles....super mario world...super metroid(metroid to nes was my 1st and loved it)...zelda...donkey kong country.....ff3....i miss all the ff games...it was so hard to get ur hands on the lower number ff's...i had almost all and beat almost all till i think 8 or 9....such good flippin games back in the day....those alone make the buy worth it....man jars some amazing childhood memories to make me not wanna really ever take life for granted its to precious and memories will always last a lifetime
I prefer regular Super Nintendo 🖕
Daniel oh boo hoo oh well then go play the original you whining baby
Cyber foxy Gamer SuperNova 😎I will
not everybody can afford an original super nes, and a collection of games this is just a great cheap substitute
One thing I'd like to point out for those of you that are freaking out over lack of games, there is something called COMPATABILITY in which you are able to put CARTRIDGES in the mini snes, so games are not limited to the 21 games already on this. And if I'm not mistaken it can play nes cartriges too
