Long live the SNES!!!! I’ve been playing this console since I was three in 1992, when I got it with Super Mario World and loved it ever since!!! Even when I would get the PlayStations (I have yet to own a PS5), XBOXES, etc., I still go back to this system…I still rock my OG one from 1992 and my modded mini…Along with SMW, my favorites are Magic Sword, Mortal Kombat II, Street Fighter II Turbo, DKC series, Super Mario All-Stars, NBA Lives 95-98, NCAA Basketball, Madden NFL 97, Turtles in Time, Sunset Riders, Gradius III, Tecmo Super Bowl, Tecmo Super NBA Basketball, Final Fight, F-Zero, Pilotwings, Ms. Pac-Man and many more!!
We've had a lot of power outages because of the hurricane so I've been playing a lot of SNES on my emulator recently. Here's what I've been playing pretty heavily: Jungle Strike - my favorite of the 3 strike games on SNES Earthbound - for the first time. Sunset riders - my favorite game of all time on the SNES Zombies ate my Neighbors - spooky season! Harvest Moon Revolution X - go ahead judge, I've loved the game since i was a kid.
Ken Griffey Jr. came along at the perfect time for me. I was into baseball as a kid and playing in a league, too! After league games, I'd play this game with my step-dad. It was the perfect game and helped grow my love for baseball in general!
Great video. I love Super RC Racing. I remember playing that in the arcade inside of a skating rink. Those were the days. Donkey Kong Country is one of my favs as well. Great video!
All three DKC games are top 20 games for me… the first may be the lowest down the list for me, but the amount of effort I poured into it as a kid was unrivaled. I remember beating it and feeling a real sense of accomplishment as a kid. And they all still feel so damn good to plow through today.
I still play it today! There were some bad and some broken games, like any console but there were many great games which are still fun to play today! Quite a few games held up graphically and gameplay wise really well.
Tecmo Super Bowl, only thing missing is the 2pt conversion, Super Double Dragon, Power Rangers, NBA Give N Go, and All Japan Pro Wrestling 2 34 are some of my favorites
I grew up playing the SNES, and I still enjoy playing it to this day. Some of these games I've not yet played which is really cool that I get to have these new gaming experiences, the batman game especially looks awesome bud. Other games I also enjoy are the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers game, and Biker Mice from Mars, Yoshi's Island. Top video Jay.
Great games. SNES is still my all time favorite console. My favorite SNES games are Zelda: A Link to the Past, Chrono Trigger, Blackthorne, Super Mario World, Adventures of Batman and Robin, Super Mario RPG, Super Star Wars, Super Empire Strikes back, Super Return of the Jedi, and Earth Worm Jim to name a few.
I think the SNES is where we have more of those games that you just will always play and hold up almost perfectly, more so than any other console from that generation imo. For me, it's titles like Super Mario World, A Link to the Past, Super Metroid, Yoshi's Island, F-Zero, Super Punch-Out!!, Super Smash TV, Super Aleste, U.N. Squadron, Parodius Da!, Chrono Trigger, Turtles in Time, all three Donkey Kong Country games, Super Mario Kart, Legend of the Mystical Ninja, Ninja Warriors, Wild Guns, the entire Mega Man series, ActRaiser, the Super Bomberman series, Zombies Ate my Neighbors, Contra III, Castlevania IV, Super Mario All-Stars, Street Fighter II and Street Fighter II Turbo, and, even though it has clearly technically dated, Star Fox, etc. Also, Sunset Riders isn't a beat 'em up or a shoot 'em up; Sunset Riders is a run n' gun/run and gun.
Ohhh Yeah Ken Griffey Baseball is probably my favorite baseball game of all time - 1000 of hours in my best friends basement - I know they were fictional players but I always played as the Chicago Cubs!! 😀😀
Top three for me would be Super Metroid, Donkey Kong Country 2. Diddy's, conquest and legend of Zelda A Link to the past. That being said, I have so many games that I need to experience on the SNES. I keep going back and forth whether I want to play Corona trigger on that or the DS.
I grew up in Latam, there were some BIG games there that were not that popular in the US: Top Gear International Super Start Soccer Deluxe Biker Mice from Mars Apart from those, Sunset Riders, Contra III, Super Mario World (best Mario ever, I won't debate this because I am right), Megaman X and those other 3 are games that I still play to this day when I can/
I always go back to PilotWings, Super Bomberman 1 & 2, The Lost Vikings 1 & 2, Super Mario Kart, Street Fighter II, Sim City, Kirby’s Dream Course, Super Ghouls N Ghosts and The Legend of the Mystical Ninja
Man, great video and spot-on SNES choices. While Sega had the respectable World Series Baseball releases, I still preferred the fun of Ken Griffey Jr. on SNES. Cheers,
I play those all with some regularity. For me, I also like to go back to Super Castlevania IV, Contra III, Pocky & Rocky, R-Type III, Cacoma Knight in Bizyland, Turtles in Time, Rampart, Demon's Crest, Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts... never mind, I just still play a lot of Super Nintendo.
This is a great list. My favorite of all time is Final Fantasy VI with ChronoTrigger just behind it. Earthbound I played through last year for the first time, and I kick myself for being that teenager who looked at the graphics and the oversized box and hard passing on it. Super Metroid is fantastic, and I play through it yearly. Ken Griffey Jr. is a game my son and I play every now and then, and I think it is the best baseball game ever made. I'm also one of the weird ohs who still believe that NHL 94 was the best on the SNES. (Don't hate me.) I love that one as well.
This year no SNES. The first 3 games are super solid. I have great memories of playing/watching my bro play these for the first time. This year I'm trying to focus on stuff I have physically and haven't beat since I don't collect SNES there is nothing to play. I would like to go back to Super Metroid and Zelda aLttP some time. Then I think about going back to Metroid Dread again. lol
Controls, pacing, appearance, music, gameplay - Metroid was not a fun experience to me on the NES. Super Metroid crushed it - better pacing, better controls, incredible gameplay, better look, better sound, better everything...but most importantly, it had purpose and nuance. The Story told in Super Metroid in the first 5 minutes of turning the game on exceeded everything that the entirety of the original Metroid could even being to accomplish. And I cannot stress enough how much better the game was served by having a controller with six more buttons on it. To this day, 40 years after playing the original and being completely unimpressed with it, I'm in the exact same place. I appreciate it as a place setting for everything that was subsequently done in the series, but that's it. It's the framework and nothing more.
Those are all great games you showed for the Snes. You haven't beaten Donkey Kong Country? I'll give you tips to make it way easier. Go to a level & keep replaying it for 99 lives or a lot. 2nd when you get Candy the save point, make sure levels you beat afterwards before the next Candy you go back to the previous Candy Kong & save your progress. This will save you from redoing 5-6 levels in 1 sitting to go to each Candy Kong save.

Yeah, I loved that game! 👍
That game began to start the realistic baseball game trend.

My dad had my brothers and I growing up on Genesis, NES, and Super NES.

I definitely dig a couple on this list and now I’m considering grabbing that baseball game!
SNES and Square Pegs good combo can’t go wrong

Super Mario world is a masterpiece. My favorite Mario game to this day
Jay, we have to get you through DKC. I know you have your Switch right there. Next to you. Pull up the NSO version and do it!
I play those all with some regularity. For me, I also like to go back to Super Castlevania IV, Contra III, Pocky & Rocky, R-Type III, Cacoma Knight in Bizyland, Turtles in Time, Rampart, Demon's Crest, Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts... never mind, I just still play a lot of Super Nintendo.

Final Fantasy 6 is top 5 games of all time for me. And it always will be.
I have old man reflexes now, so turn based games are easier to come back to. FF2/4, FF3/6, and Chronotrigger are my go-to games.
Ken Griffey is the best am still playing to this day
This year no SNES.
The first 3 games are super solid. I have great memories of playing/watching my bro play these for the first time.

You should try the new ALTTP roguelike called Infinite Dungeon.
Nicely done.
Rock n roll racing
Goof troop is epic and you sir go beat DKC
There’s nothing wrong with Bonkers on the SNES.
Super ghost n goblins

This can't be correct! No Hockey game! Who are you, and what have you done with Jay! 😂
1:35 damn, you HATED the original Metroid? harsh
Not harsh, just not a game for me. Controls, pacing, appearance, music, gameplay, story - Metroid was not a fun experience to me on the NES.
Ted Cruz is a gamer!!
That's really unfair. Only one of us has abandoned his community when it got chilly.
Super Metroid was just a better version of Metroid. How did you not like it?
