SNES excelled in every genre at the time. Best beat 'em ups, racing, platforming, RPGs, even a few FPS and etc. Many say it was the best console of all time.
FirePrinceZuko 77 I bloody did. Streets of Rage 2 rules. I didn't like 3 quite as much though. You know what I mean though? For every aspect of gaming at the time, SNES had great examples to offer. And don't mention bloody Blast Processing.
I'm not trying to get into a console war. I will say this though, The best Snes games are the ones we all love to talk about, Like Chrono Trigger, Super Metroid, Super Mario World, Super Castlevania 4. The best Genesis games are the ones no one likes to talk about. Like Vectorman, Comix Zone, Gunstar Heroes, Ristar Alladin. Yeah games like Sonic 1, 2, 3&K, The Streets of Rage trilogy, and Altered Beast are fantastic games, but a shit load of the best games on the system are never brought up.
FirePrinceZuko 77 Ah yes, you're right on all accounts. But pick both consoles' best offerings in each genre. Example best RPG on each one. For me, SNES- Secret of Mana. Megadrive(or Genesis) I have to say Landstalker. Back to unappreciated gems on Sega. A couple of my favourites are ToeJam and Earl. Split Screen co-op, stealth, humour surreal. The game was ahead of it's time. Curse those reviewers. Alisia Dragoon. A beautiful example of what the Megadrive was built for IMO.
Super Metroid is a beyond phenomenal experience of a game. It is one of the most haunting, fun, and atmospheric games I've ever played. The feeling I get every time I play the game is just intoxicating.
the reason that the snes is my favorite console of all time is because they could have made a top 100 list for the system and still left out someone's favorite.
@@TS77TS I mean its a damn fine game. Mario controls as fluid as ever, but the level design was way to safe and not very ambitious and having to go out of your way to find secrets just to get to the end of the damn game is NOT how you structure a good 2D platformer. And super mario bros. 3 constantly did new crazy things with its level design. Super mario worlds level design on the other hand was mostly static and it shows considering how much dumb hidden exit bullshit you have to go through to even beat the fucking game. It was a poor substitute for boring levels.
What's even more awesome is that we can play our old favorites on the Wii or Wii U, Super Mario World and Zelda for the SNES are definitely 2 of my all time favorites.
Merton Dingle im sorry we disagree. But im flaying final fantasy 3 for snes or ff6. I've got to tell you earthbound is way behind it's time. The sprites dont move. The graphics are bad. Getring arpund inventory is just annoying and the last battle just sucks dude.
Isn't it funny how nobody cared about Earthbound when it was released!? Fast forward over 20 years, now people are screaming about it being one of the best games for the system!
I totally agree. I even knew about Earthbound way back then but I never got it. I wanted to but it never happened and on top of that, hardly anyone was talking about the game.
@Steve Hunt yea it really did! Most still hold up well even today too. Look at Octopath and other games..they are even still now trying to throwback to the snes rpg days! haha
+Bred In Captivity Opinions, really. I agree with every game on this list, even the honorable mentions, but I'd say the "good" margins between each are very negligible. Meaning, they're all equally awesome!
Daniel Mazea Well of course this all just opinions. I'm just saying that I'm highly dubious of a list that puts Mario Kart, for example, over Super Metroid. Go back, play both games, and tell me which is a more enriching experience. Mario Kart may be a more important game, since it created it's own sub-genre, but to say it's a better game is plain crazy. Let's be honest, the original Mario Kart handles like absolute shit, and anyone one looking for a top notch Mario Kart experience will go to 64, Double Dash, or 8 instead. If you want the best Metroid experience, Super Metroid is a must. Finally, if all these games were "equally awesome" there'd be no need for a list at all.
Earthboundzero MC You obviously never played it much. It's insanely nuanced with perfect controls, a great soundtrack, and plenty of difficulty. And the graphic were more than OK, especially for the time. Easily the best racing on the SNES and probably of the 16-bit era. Super Mario Kart hasn't aged well and is overrated.
Luke Huber Final Fantasy VI, Street Fighter 2 and Super Mario World were better.... However one not mentioned on this list that was also better then Zelda was Super Black Bass....
List should be more like this: 1. Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past 2. Chrono Trigger 3. Super Mario World 4. Final Fantasty III (VI) 5. Super Metroid 6. Super Mario RPG 7. Donkey Kong Country 2 8. Super Mario All Stars 9. Earthbound 10. Mega Man X Honorable Mentions: Yoshi's Island Kirby Super Star Super Castlevania IV Turtles In Time Contra III Tetris Attack Secret of Mana
I have a Game Boy Advanced, with Link to the Past and I still play it today. Almost 25 years after its production, and the game still stands up to titles on modern consoles.
Wow I'm so surprised this wasn't even an HONORABLE MENTION!! The game literally had like 100 levels, great music, very creative and diverse weapon arsenal, as well as with the bosses, and passwords rather than saving. I'm sure there's more I forgot, about what makes this game so great, but this definitely deserves to be SOMEWHERE IN THE TOP 10. Me personally would put it in the top 5 cuz Mega Man x, Zelda, Super Mario World, and Super Metroid are all tied with Zombies ate my neighbors for top 5.
Final Fantasy 6 was the first game that ever made me feel an emotion. People give credit to 7 for that due to one major death, but the truth is 6 was a pre-apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic game. You honestly felt bad for the world seeing what it became after the villain effectively won the game. The character cast was one of the best in a video game ever. The large main cast all got personal stories even if you had to hunt for some. Some had lost loves, murdered families and one even tries to commit suicide. Some had positive stories like adopting orphans or brotherly bonds. This is the first real feels in a game.
VI was amazing, i just loved how the party would split up at certain parts of the game and how deep the story went, even though its one of the greatest FF games of all time i still love IV (II in North America) as my all time favorite FF title
VI was wonderful, but not gonna lie, IV made me feel emotion for characters for the first time, a certain sacrifice about 3/4 the way through almost brought tears to my eyes.
m a y h a i r it’s the second installment in the Paper Mario series. It’s an RPG with a turn-based battle system. It’s only on the Gamecube and hasn’t been rereleased as of March 2020. I haven’t played it, but i hear it’s fun.
@@Tiggster-qr8mw I know what it is. I was just pointing out that the commenter misspelled 'TTYD' as 'TYYD' in a funny way. And therefore, *'Yhousand* Year Door' instead of *'Thousand* Year Door'.
Everyone has a different opinion, of course, but I still can't agree with a list that puts Super Metroid that low. I didn't think it was a matter of debate that it is in the top three (if not the best).
+Michał SlenderMan at the end of the video they ask "do you agree with our list" to which justin is saying he doesn't. Just as they have their opinions he has his.

Illusion of Gaia 10. Contra 3: The Alien War Honorable Mentions: Mega Man X, Mega Man X3, Mega Man 7 (the only reason these are just honorable mentions is because I tried to limit my list to only one from each franchise)
+16bitgamer1121 Chrono Trigger should be number 1. It had everything that you would expect for a game. Great graphics, great background music, and GREAT story line.
Josh Hawley I love the game, do not get me wrong, but I would not say it is too deserving of getting a spot on the top 10. It didn't define the system at the time and to this day there are better RPGs on the SNES such as SoM, CT, FF6, etc.
Josh Hawley Eh? Who are you talking to? I was saying that it's decent but doesn't deserve a top 10 spot while compared to other SNES RPGs. Imo it's a little off from the greatest.
Personal Ranking: 1) Super Metroid 2) The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past 3) Super Mario World 4) Chrono Trigger 5) Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island 6) Super Mario Kart 7) Mega Man X 8) Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy’s Kong Quest 9) Star Fox 10) Final Fantasy III
Ahhh, my favorite system. always has been and always will. - I think Super Metroid could have arguably been #1 with Link to the Past as #2, but that's just me - Star Fox, although I love the game is top 15, top 20 at best. You could have easily replaced it with Turtles in Time which I think is the definitive side scrolling beat 'em up for the SNES. While we're on the subject, Street Fighter 2 could have been omitted since it's multi-platform and it was originally an arcade game. Could have easily replaced it with Secret of Mana. - Glad to see you guys included Diddy's Kong Quest. Most list have the first one but I think DKC 2 was the definitive game in the trilogy. Just much more polished and complex compared to DKC1 Otherwise, great list!
10. Final Fantasy 3 9. Street Fighter 2 Turbo 8. Star Fox 7. Super Mario RPG 6. Super Metroid 5. Chrono Trigger 4. Donkey Kong Country Returns 2 3. Mario Kart 2. Super Mario World 1.

Professor Mercury Chrono Trigger is outstanding. I played all these games when they first appeared, but out of all the games mentioned in this list and Chrono Trigger is the only one that gives me goose bumps thinking about. Sure you can claim Zelda is a better overall game, it probably is objectively, but nothing ever came close to the first time you played through Chrono Trigger. It's pretty much perfect, it's the closest videos games got in the 16 bit era to art. When all my friends traded in their SNES at the onset of the 32 bit area it was games like Chrono Trigger that meant I could never sell my SNES. Glad I didn't I don't think I could afford to buy FFIII, Chrono Trigger, Earthbound or Terranigma again, now they have been classed as collectible. Even before their cult, collectible status as a kid you could feel something was special about them, especially when you spent most of you time on nintendo jumping on blocks and doing karate kicks in peoples faces.
John Haigh Super Mario kart has aged HORRIBLY. Not a bad game but doesn’t even come close to the DKC series. DKC2 is one of the best platformers of all time.
As much as l like nowadays games such as GOW series, or COD, GT and the hyper realistic GTA, as well as recognizing that graphics are awsome and had been the aim of many videogames, you know, to get it improved, but I feel thar videogames have lost its charm. I mean, videogames with top graphics are more and more like imitations of reality than a paralel world that might not be as good looking, but inspired a lot more of imagination. I know kids arent the same anymore, but I miss the way a simple game like mario world, DK, top gear, even older ones like sonic, got me do involved by sparking my immagination. It's like reading a book compared to Watching a movie, no effects can match your mind.

yeah, I think the Super Castlevania IV is way better and should be no.1 instead of THAT BULLSHIT franchise of THE CHUCKIN LEGEND OF ZELDA: A LINK TO THE PAST.!!!!!! THIS IS BULLLLLLLLLLSHITTTTTTTTTTTT!.
Because there are no Voices in the franchise man. All they show like in TLOZ: Twilight Princess, are grunts,laughs and text boxes. Whereas the animated series version of the game had good voices. I'll admit that show was crappy and all, but in my opinion, I think that they should put those voices in the Zelda games, just like what Hideo Kojima did with the Metal Gear Solid Franchise, they(The Zelda Games I mean) should have the same cinematic feel and brilliant voice acting, Zelda messed it up. So that's why I hated The Legend of Zelda franchise. Plus the Music is always looping on every Zelda game everybody plays. I think it's getting way to old. And on top of that The Legend of Zelda Franchise Should be banned..
1.- Zelda A Link To The Past 2.- Super Metroid 3.- Super Mario World 4.- Donkey Kong Country 2 5.- Yoshi's Island 6.- Judge Dredd 7.- Final Fight 3 8.- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV 9.- F-Zero 10.- Street Fighter 2 Turbo
Even tho I haven’t heard the music background from the games in like 20 years. Every time a game pops up the music like I heard it yesterday! Brings back memories
My fav has to be Turtles in Time. Simply because I was in the 4th grade when it came out. I saved my little money to get it and my mom told me no! I could not buy a video game. Sooooo I rode my bike to Wal Mart and bought it ANYWAY HA HA HA. Got an ass whoppin and put on punishment BUT in the end....I had my game!
I'm sick and tired of seeing Legend of Zelda shit on almost all your videos, gee whiz! xD Other than that great video. I would put Super Metroid at number one in my list.
I agree. I never got into Zelda, nor do I plan on it. I have most of the "top 25 N64 games of all time" and all of the top 10 if you take out Majora's Mask and the Ocarina of Time. I didn't realize until this video how few SNES games I actually had, although I made up for it with N64 titles.
@@somerandofromoregon Yes. I personally think SMW2 is better than SMW, since it took everything SMW had, and expanded upon it, with a great soundtrack, creative art design, and Yoshi as the playable character.
Mine 10 Star Fox 9 F-zero 8 Earthbound 7 Yoshi Island 6 Super Metroid 5 Super Mario RPG Legend of the seven stars 4 Donkey Kong Country 3 Super Mario Kart 2 The legend of Zelda A link to the past Honorable Mentions Donkey Kong Country 2 Diddy Kong quest F-Zero Earth Bound Super Castlevania IV 1 Super Mario World
That game was hard as hell ( mainly because I played on Genesis), but what an awesome game it is! I agree about it being underrated, it needs more recognition.
Kevlar Vest Shit it was hard as hell on snes too! I barely and I mean barley beat with the help of a friend. All those levels seem like it took forever!
Super Metroid should be number one. Link to the Past is my personal favorite but Super Metroid is still probably the best game on the system. It’s one of the best games of all time.
that's actually the first list i totally agree with. Zelda should be number one, from all of the games here, its was the hardest one for me and the most enjoyable. And - Earthworm Jim - that was one amazing game :D
I agree with most games, especially DKC 2, and I'm really happy that Mario Kart made on the list, however, it is really disappointing that none of the titles from the mortal kombat franchise made it to the list, not even a honorable mention.
Honestly I was more dissapointed to see Super Metroid get a #6 and Zelda got #1. I like what Zelda has to offer, such as switching between light and dark worlds to find secrets in accessible areas, but Metroid was just riddled with odds and ends with secrets everywhere. One such secret I liked was using the super bomb in the glass tubing area you use to transits screens to watch it explode into shards.
Everyone picks zelda because it's zelda there are better games out there its just that people are like oh yeah zelda soooo good, but chrono trigger is way cooler earthbound is better i think than link to the past. people have opinions and its weird that people who like zelda games haven't really played them.
Mario All Stars is my favourite SNES game because it has my favourite game of all time in it (MARIO 3!) but if that doesn't count then DKC2 is my favourite because first of all the GBA version of that game was the first game I ever played, and it took everything that made DKC1 great and multiplied it by 1000
SNES excelled in every genre at the time.
Best beat 'em ups, racing, platforming, RPGs, even a few FPS and etc.
Many say it was the best console of all time.
Eh hem, did you just say best Beat em ups? You have clearly never played the Streets of Rage trilogy.
FirePrinceZuko 77 I bloody did.
Streets of Rage 2 rules. I didn't like 3 quite as much though.

But pick both consoles' best offerings in each genre.

For me, SNES- Secret of Mana. Megadrive(or Genesis) I have to say Landstalker.
Back to unappreciated gems on Sega. A couple of my favourites are ToeJam and Earl. Split Screen co-op, stealth, humour surreal. The game was ahead of it's time. Curse those reviewers.
Alisia Dragoon. A beautiful example of what the Megadrive was built for IMO.

Super Metroid is a beyond phenomenal experience of a game. It is one of the most haunting, fun, and atmospheric games I've ever played. The feeling I get every time I play the game is just intoxicating.
I totally agree man, dat music, dat atmosphere, dem secrets.
The replay value is really high too, everytime i play it i try to beat my last time
The final Battle pretty much is the greatest final battle ever in a video game.
It’s my all time favorite game. The remake of Metroid 2: Return of Samus is pretty epic too!
It's a thorough rush every time I play it. My personal favorite.
honestly id venture to say it is one of the best games Nintendo has ever produced
the reason that the snes is my favorite console of all time is because they could have made a top 100 list for the system and still left out someone's favorite.

It is a basic "Racer Game" With OK Graphics. Honestly RPG's Take The Cake
Earthboundzero MC You obviously never played it much. It's insanely nuanced with perfect controls, a great soundtrack, and plenty of difficulty. And the graphic were more than OK, especially for the time. Easily the best racing on the SNES and probably of the 16-bit era. Super Mario Kart hasn't aged well and is overrated.
Mario Kart 64 is over rated, too, in my opinion.

m a y h a i r it’s the second installment in the Paper Mario series. It’s an RPG with a turn-based battle system. It’s only on the Gamecube and hasn’t been rereleased as of March 2020. I haven’t played it, but i hear it’s fun.
@@Tiggster-qr8mw I know what it is. I was just pointing out that the commenter misspelled 'TTYD' as 'TYYD' in a funny way. And therefore, *'Yhousand* Year Door' instead of *'Thousand* Year Door'.
m a y h a i r oh my bad. I actually didn’t notice the misspelling 😂😂😂 i legit thought u didn’t know what TTYD is. Sorry
FF6 in 10th place? Are you kidding me?
Quiel Evolution Gameplays Ikr it should be at least in 5
Quiel Evolution Gameplays Therw are better games
Bruno EPCO
It's just your opinion
Knowledge of Crusader What?i didn't even mentioned mario,im talkin' about Super Metroid,Chrono Trigger,DKC 2,and all that good stuff.
It should be #1
am I the only one who noticed he said that LoZ: aLTTP was "our pick for the number one NES game of all time"? because it was totally on the NES
Ha... Super Metroid at number 6. That's the funniest joke i've heard in a while.
Not as much as Final Fantasy 6 being 10 out of all games.
Chrono trigger isn't number one? The game is kind of overrated but it's definitely better than link to the past. Plus ff6 at 10 was dumb too
Yeah it's crazy it even made the list
Illusion of gaia deserves some love. One of the best snes rpg's
Terranigma too? Both terranigma and illusion of Gaia were amazing
Everyone has a different opinion, of course, but I still can't agree with a list that puts Super Metroid that low. I didn't think it was a matter of debate that it is in the top three (if not the best).
Super Metroid should be higher
+Michał SlenderMan at the end of the video they ask "do you agree with our list" to which justin is saying he doesn't. Just as they have their opinions he has his.
+patrick watkins i don't care, yesterday i won against a 80 year old hag
Justin Hochman way higher
To me, Chrono Trigger is my number one favorite in the snes list.

Super Metroid, what an awesome game.

Yes it was I never knew how I beat that game lol. I had a hell of a time that's for sure
next to Yoshi's island it's my favorite snes platformer
super metroid's prob more rpg but whatever
ElRealPetChicken I beat it 100 times and the most I got was 93% of the items smh

A Link to the Past! Damn straight!
Am I the only one here who loves Super Metroid more than The Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past?
Yes you are.
ninjanizzle Yeah, looks like it.
same here brother
No your not. Too be honest link to the past is better than all the new version of any Zelda game.

Kirby Super Star yes. Kirby Dream Land 3 no
@@GoogleHelpYou AGREE!!!
Super Metroid only at 6 ?! WTF Its freaking Super Metroid!
Unbeaten in atmosphere on the SNES.
So you put Super Mario Kart over Chrono Trigger?
...mm'k
+16bitgamer1121 Chrono Trigger should be number 1. It had everything that you would expect for a game. Great graphics, great background music, and GREAT story line.
+Leng Lee Forgot about gameplay
Daelion164 That's true, I did lol. Add gameplay to that XD
+16bitgamer1121 It's 2016 and people still give a shit about the order of the ranking in those Top 10 videos? LOL
+16bitgamer1121 because it was funner to more people. I didn't even like chrono trigger or any corny ass unrealistic turn-based rpgs.
How is Earthbound only in honorable mentions?
Josh Hawley I love the game, do not get me wrong, but I would not say it is too deserving of getting a spot on the top 10. It didn't define the system at the time and to this day there are better RPGs on the SNES such as SoM, CT, FF6, etc.
Too many good SNES games!
***** Thanks dude, this sounds corny but it means a lot to finally have someone agree with me on that
For sure. Earthbound is the greatest.
Josh Hawley Eh? Who are you talking to? I was saying that it's decent but doesn't deserve a top 10 spot while compared to other SNES RPGs. Imo it's a little off from the greatest.
Megaman X should have been on the list.
it sould have been number 1....ego fan here!
Mega Man X is my personal favorite.
The OST is literally music to my ears! ;)
I mean that's what OST is. Music to your ears.
@@Vik1919 Literally.
You put super mario kart over megaman X, Chrono trigger and super metroid?
I say this is madness
Personal Ranking:
1) Super Metroid
2) The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
3) Super Mario World
4) Chrono Trigger
5) Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island
6) Super Mario Kart
7) Mega Man X
8) Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy’s Kong Quest
9) Star Fox
10) Final Fantasy III
Ahhh, my favorite system. always has been and always will.
- I think Super Metroid could have arguably been #1 with Link to the Past as #2, but that's just me
- Star Fox, although I love the game is top 15, top 20 at best. You could have easily replaced it with Turtles in Time which I think is the definitive side scrolling beat 'em up for the SNES. While we're on the subject, Street Fighter 2 could have been omitted since it's multi-platform and it was originally an arcade game. Could have easily replaced it with Secret of Mana.
- Glad to see you guys included Diddy's Kong Quest. Most list have the first one but I think DKC 2 was the definitive game in the trilogy. Just much more polished and complex compared to DKC1
Otherwise, great list!
ALSO...Chrono Trigger's artwork was designed by Akira Toriyama (the guy who created DRAGONBALL!!), making it even more epic!
True
+Louis Monnich II are you serious? Toriyama is everywhere, he does character design for the Dragon Quest series also
Now that you mention it, I can see that! That dude is awesome!
I always thought that dbz looked similar to Chrono Trigger
zelda, chrono trigger, and super metroid are my favorites :)
Super Metroid should have definitely been like 3 the ending was so f***** epic
Star Fox above Final Fantasy VI? No way. But top 10 lists can never be agreed upon, its just impossible.
I agree with the list c:
I'm really proud of you Zelda and Imma let you finish, but Super Mario World was one of the best SNES games of all time! OF ALL TIME! [shrugs]
6:15 "Best NES title"? Go home WatchMojo, you're drunk.
Have you ever played the game? It truly is better than almost anything
@@majortom1158 He saying that WatchMojo accidentally said "NES" instead "SNES". He isn't saying that A Link to the Past isn't the best SNES game.

Chrono Trigger is (quite possibly) the greatest game of all time.
Professor Mercury Chrono Trigger is outstanding. I played all these games when they first appeared, but out of all the games mentioned in this list and Chrono Trigger is the only one that gives me goose bumps thinking about. Sure you can claim Zelda is a better overall game, it probably is objectively, but nothing ever came close to the first time you played through Chrono Trigger. It's pretty much perfect, it's the closest videos games got in the 16 bit era to art.
When all my friends traded in their SNES at the onset of the 32 bit area it was games like Chrono Trigger that meant I could never sell my SNES. Glad I didn't I don't think I could afford to buy FFIII, Chrono Trigger, Earthbound or Terranigma again, now they have been classed as collectible. Even before their cult, collectible status as a kid you could feel something was special about them, especially when you spent most of you time on nintendo jumping on blocks and doing karate kicks in peoples faces.
yuuuuup
+Professor Mercury Majoras mask is better
agreed.
No it's not, Shenmue is. Come at me.
My list wouldve included Sim City. One of my favorite SNES games.
super metroid is number 1 for me
Same
Yup just hearing the music gave me chills. So atmospheric
absolutely, played through it so many times and still get the itch to replay it yet again
Agreed
No question super metroid the best overall Nintendo game ever
this was a satisfying list. even though I had a bias toward Secret of Mana I wouldn't swap out anything on the list for it.
Super Mario Kart is NOT better than DKC2 lol
Deats By Doctor Bre My thoughts exactly. That is blasphemy
Just a matter of preference I guess. I preferred the first DKC and Mario Kart over DKC2
Super Mario Kart takes a massive shit all over DKC2
John Haigh Super Mario kart has aged HORRIBLY. Not a bad game but doesn’t even come close to the DKC series. DKC2 is one of the best platformers of all time.
SMK was more revolutionary which is why it deserved to be higher regardless whether it was better or not.
I wish Mario RPG would come to 3DS VC
Yes
It comes to Wii U VC.
But you can play it on the emulator. 😉
One of the main reasons I got snes classic lol
As much as l like nowadays games such as GOW series, or COD, GT and the hyper realistic GTA, as well as recognizing that graphics are awsome and had been the aim of many videogames, you know, to get it improved, but I feel thar videogames have lost its charm. I mean, videogames with top graphics are more and more like imitations of reality than a paralel world that might not be as good looking, but inspired a lot more of imagination. I know kids arent the same anymore, but I miss the way a simple game like mario world, DK, top gear, even older ones like sonic, got me do involved by sparking my immagination. It's like reading a book compared to Watching a movie, no effects can match your mind.
You're right. Games nowadays lost their charm (Nintendo games still have charm) because they're more like movies nowadays.

F-Zero and Super Castlevania IV deserve more love.
yeah, I think the Super Castlevania IV is way better and should be no.1 instead of THAT BULLSHIT franchise of THE CHUCKIN LEGEND OF ZELDA: A LINK TO THE PAST.!!!!!! THIS IS BULLLLLLLLLLSHITTTTTTTTTTTT!.
Because there are no Voices in the franchise man. All they show like in TLOZ: Twilight Princess, are grunts,laughs and text boxes. Whereas the animated series version of the game had good voices. I'll admit that show was crappy and all, but in my opinion, I think that they should put those voices in the Zelda games, just like what Hideo Kojima did with the Metal Gear Solid Franchise, they(The Zelda Games I mean) should have the same cinematic feel and brilliant voice acting, Zelda messed it up. So that's why I hated The Legend of Zelda franchise. Plus the Music is always looping on every Zelda game everybody plays. I think it's getting way to old. And on top of that The Legend of Zelda Franchise Should be banned..
The voices are no that good as my Old Buddy from Pakistan Munaum bilal said.
***** in a nutshell. OH HELL YEAHHHHHHHHH!
Right.
Megaman X, Turtles in Time, Bomberman and Super Mario World are the best ones, imo.
Diogo BP
You have a great taste in the good old SNES. Super Bomberman was one of the first SNES game at played on multipayer.
Not an easy list to make, WatchMojo did a decent job.
still playing in 2019, i also recomend demons crest, earthworm jim, primal rage and fatal fury
THIS BRINGS TEARS OF JOY TO MY EYES!! cant believe i get to play these titles with my 13 yr old kid now!!
Your 13 year old kid is going to have one good childhood
hope so!
He's a teenager his childhood is over
I get to play it with my 10 year old and he's wandering how we use to beat all these games so easily
How did Legend of the Mystical Ninja not make even the honorable mentions?
Yeah that was a pretty awesome game too.
Castlevania 4, turtles in time and FUCKING EARTHBOUND as an honorable mention?!?!?? I think im gonna be sick

Med too
Well, the obvious mistake here is having Final Fantasy III all the way down at #10, but at least the greatest game ever made is #1.
WOOOOOOW
WOW
Final fantasy 6 is number 10?
You've better have some good ass games up your sleeve, Watch Mojo
Even tho I haven’t heard the music background from the games in like 20 years. Every time a game pops up the music like I heard it yesterday! Brings back memories
Super Mario RPG NEEDS to come out on the New Nintendo 3DS.
I was hoping for it on the 3ds for so long. I never got why it was on the wii but not the 3ds.
Chrono Trigger at only 5, what a joke easily deserved number 1
My fav has to be Turtles in Time. Simply because I was in the 4th grade when it came out. I saved my little money to get it and my mom told me no! I could not buy a video game. Sooooo I rode my bike to Wal Mart and bought it ANYWAY HA HA HA. Got an ass whoppin and put on punishment BUT in the end....I had my game!
Great list! Secret of mana still my fave and glad it got an honourable mention
I'm sick and tired of seeing Legend of Zelda shit on almost all your videos, gee whiz! xD Other than that great video. I would put Super Metroid at number one in my list.
Zelda games are too good lol
like final fantasy is the mother of the RPG zelda is the mother of the long historys in video games
Yeah I guess you're both right, but I myself being among the Atari and early NES generation never really got into those games.
I love Legend of Zelda but I have to agree with you here. Super Metroid is by far the best game ever.
I agree. I never got into Zelda, nor do I plan on it. I have most of the "top 25 N64 games of all time" and all of the top 10 if you take out Majora's Mask and the Ocarina of Time. I didn't realize until this video how few SNES games I actually had, although I made up for it with N64 titles.
I would've put Donkey Kong Country 2 at number 1...
Liam Brunet Yeah! My top 5:
5. Mega Man X
4. DKC1 & 3
3. Super Metroid
2. Yoshi's Island
1. DKC2
I agree. Best game on the console hands down
Liam Brunet any you would have been on your fucking own
No, because DKC2 is not as good as other SNES titles. It's a masterpiece but Mario World and Super Metroid are far better.
@@somerandofromoregon Yes. I personally think SMW2 is better than SMW, since it took everything SMW had, and expanded upon it, with a great soundtrack, creative art design, and Yoshi as the playable character.

I know right!!
What? No Zombies Ate My Neighbors? That game is too underrated.
THIS! WHERE ARE ZOMBIES ATE MY NEIGHBORS?
Agree!!! zombies ate my neighbors is one of a kind
couldnt agree more shoulde been on the list
That game was hard as hell ( mainly because I played on Genesis), but what an awesome game it is! I agree about it being underrated, it needs more recognition.
Kevlar Vest Shit it was hard as hell on snes too! I barely and I mean barley beat with the help of a friend. All those levels seem like it took forever!
When I saw Super Mario World as nr.2 I was completly in the dark about the nr.1. Then I saw number one and I was like: yeah, there should be no other.
Haha you were not the only one there friend! Totally agreed with this list especially the #1 =D
Super Metroid should be number one. Link to the Past is my personal favorite but Super Metroid is still probably the best game on the system. It’s one of the best games of all time.
that's actually the first list i totally agree with. Zelda should be number one, from all of the games here, its was the hardest one for me and the most enjoyable. And - Earthworm Jim - that was one amazing game :D
I agree with most games, especially DKC 2, and I'm really happy that Mario Kart made on the list, however, it is really disappointing that none of the titles from the mortal kombat franchise made it to the list, not even a honorable mention.
Zelda games taking the #1 spot on list...sure is getting old, especially when it's the sub-par games. Like Ocarina of Time above Majora's Mask.
Honestly I was more dissapointed to see Super Metroid get a #6 and Zelda got #1. I like what Zelda has to offer, such as switching between light and dark worlds to find secrets in accessible areas, but Metroid was just riddled with odds and ends with secrets everywhere. One such secret I liked was using the super bomb in the glass tubing area you use to transits screens to watch it explode into shards.
Mario is better then link that's why sonic was made to be come rivals and to make link look bad
Everyone picks zelda because it's zelda there are better games out there its just that people are like oh yeah zelda soooo good, but chrono trigger is way cooler earthbound is better i think than link to the past. people have opinions and its weird that people who like zelda games haven't really played them.
I think Super Mario World or Star Fox on 1st place (both of them are my favourite), but it was Zelda ! Sucks !
chrono trigger had much more than both of those games.
Quite a good list. Only a couple I never played, so I can’t argue.
Mario All Stars is my favourite SNES game because it has my favourite game of all time in it (MARIO 3!) but if that doesn't count then DKC2 is my favourite because first of all the GBA version of that game was the first game I ever played, and it took everything that made DKC1 great and multiplied it by 1000
No Mega Man X or Yoshi's Island is borderline criminal.
As is having Super Metroid at #6
aGuyInaBearSuit or having Kirby Super Star
