Donkey Kong Country 2 would definitely be on my list.
Should be on "your" list lol
@@averagehuman3161 Definetely. You are right. I am not joking.
I've changed too much in a year. I'm gonna edit my original comment. Thanks.
Me Too
Not even a mention of it. What a crime.
The lack of walkthroughs and limited access to help is something that people really don't understand about playing these old games. I remember playing some of these games for hours just trying to figure out what I needed to do next. That sense of accomplishment when you finally figured it out was amazing.
I love when Johnny does these types of videos, takes me back man. Keep up the fantastic job with the channel.

Cool name :)
Shadowrun. So good.
Shadowrun and Act Raiser were stellar. 👌
I prefer Shadowrun on the Genesis.
😆😁
At 6 years old my first game ever was Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy’s Kong Quest. That game started it all for me. I still go back once every 5 years or so and play through the whole game.
When Stickerbrush Symphony from the Bramble Shamble stage starts playing, I always get goose bumps.
Ahhh, that sweet 90’s nostalgia.
Agreed. I have a soft spot for DKC2
Yes! All of those are great too!
JJJ - Donkey King Country 2 is the best DK game in my opinion
Me and my brother replay Donkey Kong Country 2 at least once every year or so to completion. Such a fantastic game. Also absolutely love the soundtrack.
Eric Smith Yeah, David Wise is the man
I spent so many hours on Desert Strike.
Man... the SNES was loaded with classics. My favourite console of all time.
Urban strike was awesome too
I remember I accidentally destroyed ONE civilian building. Sticks with you through the rest of the game lol.
I just played Final Fantasy III (VI) for the first time recently. One of the best video game experiences I've ever had!!
Wow, this list IS my childhood. I have so many memories with ALL of these titles (minus NinjaWarrior). Just this summer I replayed:
A Link to the Past
Secret of Mana
Chrono Trigger
Earthbound &
Super Metroid
They still hold up to this day. A golden age in gaming!!
I grew up with Mega Drive (it was the most popular console back then in Russia), but when I grew up I had the chance to appreciate some of the amazing games snes had. My favorite games were Super Metroid and FF 6
My first exprience with Chrono Trigger was the DS Release i got this when i was 13 and it is now my favourite game of all time.
I had a SNES growing up. Unfortunately I missed out on all the amazing jrpg games when they came out, I just didn’t know anything about them until I got older
Love your energy, your passions oozes off the screen and elevates the mood!
Enjoyed the video and re-visiting the good old days with so many great games. 🙌🏻
That FFVI (III?) overworld track...best of all time
The entire soundtrack is amazing.
Absolutely amazing soundtrack. My favorite game of all time
Terra's Theme. it's fantastic. Tied for my favorite FF piece of music of all time along with To Zanarkand from FFX
Beating “A Link to the Past” was one of my top favorite play through’s of all time and still is today. I’m planning on doing it again very soon.
The fact that he has cartridges with the boxes from games that came out day 1 is historically amazing
Ant Wilder True, I feel like people started collecting video game boxes in the middle of the SNES generation! I did it because a local game store gave you more money for a used game if it came with the box. heh
My favorite will always be SuperCastlevania IV
Kind of a mediocre Castlevania though, tbh. The SNES version of Rondo was better, and that's an abomination compared to the Turbografx version.
"Level of control"...you mean like falling through the bottom of the screen even though there's ground right underneath you? The fact that sub weapons feel trivial because the whip goes in 8 directions? Hagane, as well as the Gen Shinobi games anyday, more advanced controls and gameplay.
The mood the music set was just amazing,took your mind on a journey with the game
Ryan Weiss : super castlevania 4 " mediocre " !!! are you silly ??? are you blind ??? super castlevania 4 is a masterpiece and vampire's kiss/castlevania Dracula x is a masterpiece too !!! same thing for rondo of blood for the pc engine cdrom2 . stop the nonsense and the dubious comparisons...
castlevania symphony of the night is a masterpiece too , of course . howether , the only castlevania that i don't like are the ( 3) " lords of shadow " . even castlevania 64 , legacy of darkness , lament of innocence and curse of the moon are largely better than the 3 lords of shadows for me . the others in 2d are masterpieces .
About to turn 21 in a few weeks and I love watching these videos from you Happyconsolegamer! Keep up the awesome work.
21 damn enjoy it mate I remember when I was 21... I'm 27 this year.. getting closer to the three zero.. :)
I turn 30 this year and I feel lucky that I got to experience all the classic consoles when I was younger. When everything was through word of mouth, no internet, no walkthroughs, no DLC, no microtransactions, just plug n play bliss
@@drsquid8124 yup that's true when consoles actually showed huge leaps in graphics and gameplay going from the SNES to the n64 was mind blowing and playing games like mario 64 and ocarina of time was amazing plus on the playstation side metal gear solid and final fantasy 7 resident evil 2 those were the days :)
Mine are:
1. Secret of Mana
2. Ninja Warriors
3. Skyblazer
4. Super Metroid
5. Super Turrican
6. Mega Man X
7. Chrono Trigger
8. Super Castlevania IV
9. Space Megaforce
10. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
@@dakkefernet8585 Other than the first 4, the rest were really in no particular order.
@storgriniggubbe Plus, I don't see ALttP at number 10 (out of 750+ games) as a bad thing.
Your enthusiasm and nostalgia is infectious! Your videos always get me feeling very nostalgic. Good list. Swap Castlevania IV in there somewhere, and my list would be very similar!
Solid list but it’s Criminal you don’t have Donkey Kong on here.
Rob Steele he seems like a rpg guy though so it makes sense
I don’t understand the big fuss about Donkey Kong country myself. Controls are clunky as hell. Game play was just flat out annoying to me.
@@Tenshin66 I'm an RPG guy, too, but I'd have both DKC 2 and 3 in my Top 10 SNES.
@@rowlandbuck2703 Controls were super smooth....
@@Livingtree32 dkc3 was the worst one
Man, I love the original Star Fox, but Star Fox 64 blew my mind.
I've only known them as Starwing and Lylat Wars lol
"Slippy get back here!"
None of them are my flavor, but I remember how ground breaking they were for my friends who did play te StarFox games..
I couldn’t figure out why i love your videos so much and felt so nostalgic but then it hit me…the background music of each game. It’s such a small touch but so powerful.
Great to see your love for this top 10 dude. Thanks for the video cheered me up this morning.
Loved your passion and nostalgia, keep up the great work man!
Amazing nostalgia and stories. This is why we all love you John!
I love your enthusiasm Johnny, and you remind me constantly of why videogames are so dear to me. I can hear you talk about them all day!
Best way to start off a Sunday Funday! Thanks for all the great content, man! Your enthusiasm is infectious, I love it!
Man, the Super Nintendo was my sweet spot 1991-1995 age 11-15. My favorite system and why I love all the retro games coming out these days in that HD SNES style. Was the golden age of gaming for myself and I really love the music chip the SNES had. The soundtracks in those SNES games still rank as some of the best music in video games. Compare the music in Chrono Trigger to Dragon Quest 11, it’s not even close. The Final Fantasy Prelude from IV and VI on that SNES chip are the best versions of it. I don’t think I could do a top 10 list it would have to be 20. Not only do a lot of these games still hold up as some of the greats of all time, when some of these were released they were mind blowing games that we hadn’t even seen before on top of being excellent. Great video.
Fun Story... I got stuck on that wall jump segment where it is first introduced to you and ripped up my Super Metroid box is a serious rage quit moment before I was able to get out of that damn hole 😂.
Good video! I like your back stories to each of them also! You're an awesome TH-camr!
This is my first time watching your videos. I love your personality and your joy for retro games is contagious
I just watched your video for the first time and I think it’s awesome how compassionate you are about the games and how excited you were to buy them and they brought me back towhen I played all these games. Thanks for the awesome video look forward to watching more of them
Love these videos they are keeping me sane in these crazy times lol
Heck of a list but always love the passion and the love for gaming :). It is a true blessing at 47 years old I have seen and played gaming from the start of it all to it's current present.
Such a great video! Love your enthusiasm, and took me on a journey of pure nostalgia :)
First video I catch of you. Love the charisma and how damn happy you look.
Being 35 and growing up with an NES and SNES, I can relate.
Those were happy days !
Thanks for the memories.
Absolutely love how much credence you pay to the music in games. You are absolutely right to do so - it adds such an important layer of emotion
I completely agree. Snes has some haunting soundtracks ❤
1. Donkey Kong country
2. Super Mario world
3. A link to the past
4. Super Castlevania 4
5. Final Fantasy 3
Awesome video, thanks for the walk down nostalgia alley. Subscribed.
I love this channel. I rewatch videos all the time. Some channels I follow are ran by people who honestly talk down to fans and are generally rude, but Johnny never lets me down.
My Top 10 SNES list? Sure...my #1 is probably very different from most people's list:
1. Secret of Evermore
2. Yoshi's Island
3. Super Metroid
4. Star Fox
5. Final Fantasy VI
6. Donkey Kong Country
7. Donkey Kong Country 2
8. Secret of Mana
9. A Link to the Past
10. Illusion of Time (Gaia)
I love Secret of Evermore. After reading about how much the internet hated that game, I didn't think another human on the planet agreed with me!
Ow, definitely. This game just has the perfect mix of everything. Great music, atmospheric soundscape’s, graphics, characters and a great, simple story that just speaks to me. Just having a boy going on a big adventure with his trusty dog was just so much fun and it’s so well done.The gameplay is very similar to Secret of Mana, but it has enough unique ideas if it’s own that I really love!
Solid list. Evermore is so underrated that it should be a crime. Gaia is another one that's often overlooked.
Super Mario RPG is excellent too
I actually like Yoshi's Island more than Super Mario World as well. It's drastically different, the graphics are unique, and playing as yoshi doing the 2 player mini games were fantastic
A Link To the Past. I know a lot of people love it but I'm 24 years old, I never owned a Super Nintendo, I recently played that for the first time ever and it is one of the best games that I've ever played. No nostalgia here. I hear that a Switch version is in the horizon, can't wait to play that again.
You should also play A Link Between Worlds on the 3DS.
You should also try Link's Awakening, it's very similar in play to A Link to the Past, some people even say it was better, but A Link to the Past is still my favorite, though I never tried the DX version of Link's Awakening on the Game Boy Color, which was fully colorized, and there is also the remake coming to the Switch later this year, so it could still become my new favorite.
Please do not ever stop this show! It is superb!👌🏼. Such passion and knowledge on display! Keep it up!!!
✊🏼😎
Dude, good for you! Your top 10 was solid and I wasn't even angry that you didn't include DK games into the mix. Good for you for holding onto some of those gems that were sentimental. You rock! Keep doing what you do, friend!
FF6
Secret of mana
Terranigma
Chrono trigger
Lufia 2
Soul blazer
Zelda link to the past
Donkey kong
Seiken densetsu 3
Super mario rpg
omg almost forgot terranigma 😯
5. Mega Man X
4. Donkey Kong Country 2
3. Final Fantasy VI
2. Chrono Trigger
1. Super Metroid
Love your videos so much man! Such a positive attitude always and it’s much appreciated. Great picks! 🤘
Such a great list always love your enthusiasm and nostalgia-trips
The SNES has my all time fav Port of Prince Of Persia.
This! I was so sad when Prince of Persia Classic was released without the SNES exclusive levels. At the time I didn't know they were exclusive to the SNES, since it was the only version I had ever played.
PoP would go to my top ten SNES list.
DUDE, samurai pizza cats and secret of mana. You literally just described my childhood.
Edit: are you me? This list is incredible, literally only one thing I would change, I would take out ghosts and goblins and add mega man X. Also, fuck yeah man, FF6 defined a generation. Most people go to chrono trigger, but in my opinion FF6 was the one.
Such a great video! I love watching your videos. Really chill, cool. I also really like this list!
Love the list! FF3 is one of my all time favorite games. I legit just got my first turbo controller ever and as I'm watching this video as I get to do the Lete river exp trick for the first time in 25 years!
Breath of Fire 1/2 are my two favorite games of all time
Part 2 is great, but part 1 sure is a weird game lol. Still wonderful though!
I compare them to Lufia. Part 2 is phenomenal, but part one is still charming and beloved.
I played 1....how would you rank 2 compared to 1? Better , even or worse?
1: The Legend of Zelda A Link to the Past
2: Super Mario World
3: Super Mario Kart
4: Donkey Kong Country 2 Diddy‘s Kong Quest
5: Yoshis Island Super Mario World 2
6: F-Zero
7: Pilotwings
8: Donkey Kong Country
9: Secret of Mana
10: Street Fighter II
(Never had Super Metroid, otherwise it‘ll be here)
Edit: living in Germany, we never had Final Fantasy II/III, nor got we Chrono Trigger - I played FF3 on my SNES Mini (Same Games as the Us) and I was stuned by the opening Soundtrack walking towards this town!
I like your enthusiasm and spontaneity :) thank you man!
Great video as always. Thanks John :)
I dont know about top 10 Becoz Theres too many good games but My top 3 is
1-final fantasy 6
2-secret of mana
3-mega Man x
Yeah. The snes is one of the greatest consoles ever.
Chris The Pocket Master for me its the best console ever . You cannot compare , all the catalogue of great games.
@@jayt2917 a timeless console without a doubt. My nephews n nieces loves playing it
I remember figuring out that you could play Co-op on Secret of Mana: I was like 10 and my friend owned a copy. He's fighting the water temple boss (I think).
He is struggling and I'm screaming at him what to do, like a kid does, I picked up the other controller to do what I was telling him or something and HOLLYY SHIT! I'm playing the Sprite guy.
That was awesome.
good video , nice to see your are so happy talking about thoose games
Great List Johnny! I have a couple of games id probably switch out but thats def a top 10 list of games that are must haves for the system!
10. killer instinct
9. super mario kart
8. link to the past
7. street fighter 2
6. alien vs predator
5. contra 3
4. final fight
3. mega man x
2. ranma 1/2 hard battle
1. super metroid
Dude! Aliens vs Predator!! That game was so badass. I remember renting that so many times as a kid.
Thank you for mentioning Samurai Pizza Cats.
Absolutely brilliant! I can’t say I played all those on your list but those I did . Would definitely make my top ten. Great job You were nearly bursting with nostalgic pride by the end . As was I thank you.
You have a good positive channel instead of others that are angry. Keep it up man! Great top 10 list BTW
I didn’t get around to FF6 until my 20s. I had beaten quite a few of the games already, 10 having been my first and still possibly my favorite. I was afraid to tackle 6 because the internet is known to overhype things.
It was not overhyped.
Your #1 and #2 are the same for me, but I'd pull Earthbound and bump up Link to the Past and Super Metroid to the #3 and #4 spots respectively, adding Super Mario Kart to the #5 spot simply due to the amount of hours and fun I've dumped into it being my favorite two-player game on the system growing up.
A great vid to start my day. Thx J
Nice editing with this Johnny the music fits perfectly as always, I'd love to have a Top 10 Halloween games episode! Or you Kim and or Rob just talking about Halloween and fall! My favorite time of year lol! Much love!
As a 20 year old who obviously didn't grow up on the SNES, this would be my list:
10) Megaman X
09) Shin Megami Tensei II
08) Final Fantasy IV
07) Terranigma
06) Super Mario World
05) Chrono Trigger
04) Donkey Kong Country
03) Dragon Quest V
02) Shin Megami Tensei I
01) Earthbound
(I haven't played Final Fantasy VI and A Link to the Past, but I'm well aware they are dope!)
Never too late to pick up on those two legendary masterpieces ;) Seriously though, play them! 😂
ff6 is my top 1 snes game too.
Sir, your video came as a recommendation for me here on TH-cam, and I honestly didn’t know what to expect. After sitting here watching your video, I immediately subscribed to your channel. We share the same love and admiration for video games, and we're the age practically. These memories will be something nobody will ever be able to take from us. I sincerely appreciated your video. Well done my friend..
Great video man. I’m 36 and a lot of these games hold special places in my heart as well.
Everyone loves Chrono Trigger, I've never played it. I think I'm missing out. 😔
It's never too late :) it lives up to the hype
These are not ranked as I can't.
-Super Castlevania IV
-Final Fantasy IV/Vi
-Super Maro World
-Super Metroid
-F-Zero
And the list is growing.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane. So many marvelous memories from that era.
awesome video! loved the way you talked about EarthBound :,)
Under rated gems: Joe and Mac, Mystical Ninja (Ganbare Goemon), Smart Ball (Jerry boy), Bio Metal, Goof Troop, Clayfighter,
Hahaha!! Joe and Mac!! I used to play that along with Super double dragon with my brother.
@@syminite1 Yeah i use to play with my sister, so much fun 2 player co op
Brain lord
The problem with Top 10 lists is that there are only 10! Super Castlevania 4 is probably tops for me.
Is that you're favourite Castlevania game?
big problem especially for snes
Definitely one of the best games ever existed on any platform!
Your FF3 description brought back so many memories of me thinking EXACTLY the same thing bro. Only buying an imported SF2 on release day from an importer and playing it until my thumbs hurt or spending a whole summer playing chrono trigger could top it!
I love your retelling of the day you got these games, reminds me of my time spent with them as a kid
love earthbound and chrono trigger
Wow, my list would be virtually the same. FF 3(aka 6) is the best FF all time, and in my opinion the best game of all time. I was 13 when it came out. That overworld theme is indeed the best one in any videogame. Chronotrigger is definitely the 2nd best RPG of all time. And LTTP is the best Zelda, maybe tied with OOT.
Yeah, alttp, and oot, are magnificent games. I couldn't decide which is better between the two.
Great list, dude! Most of your list is also among my all-time favorite games! I'm a few years younger than you, but what you said about EarthBound is spot on! The emotional depth and richness of the story, despite its often humorous tone, cannot be overstated! I cried so Mani Mani times while playing this game! That and Chrono Trigger are at the very top of my list, along with Illusion of Gaia and Final Fantasy III (6) . What an incredible time to be a gamer!
Nice list. I love how your musical cues give away your reveals. ;)
“I trained my girlfriend at the time to be amazing at it.” Thanks for paying it forward.
"I trained my girlfriend at the time to be amazing at it". What a badass thing to say about sf2.
Lol
I really love the passion and love you show when you talk about games. Please make a top 10 for game boy/ game boy advance and wii games. Keep it up and thanks for sharing
Very heartfelt and pleasant review, thank you)
This list is pretty typical(nothing wrong with that) and it demonstrates the main problem I have with the SNES. Many games that are generally considered to be the best on the system are games I don't like. Super Mario World is great. But I'm not a big RPG guy. I don't love Zelda and Super Metroid like others do. I don't like Contra 3. I don't like Axelay. I don't like Super Ghouls n Ghosts. I don't like Castlevania 4(I love 1 and 3 on NES, Rondo on PCE, and Bloodlines on Genesis). I'm not complaining about the games you chose -- your list is your own -- just pointing out a problem I have unique to the SNES. I do like some SNES games, just stuff thats not as popular and some imports. Ninja Warriors, which got an honorable mention, is probably my favorite. Thanks for sharing.
Were you more of a Sega person back then? I had friends in high school who said the same thing, and I was cool with it, because it gave us quite a variety of games to play!
@@dschult3 I was. I started to second guess things later in 1994 when I decided to get the SNES. I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would, but I did like it and got to play a bunch of cool games for it between what I had, friends, and rentals. I mentioned Contra 3 and it's the mode 7 that kills the game for me. Some games I did like didn't hold up over time for me. I agree with your conclusion as it was a real treat visiting friends and getting to play some good games on a system you didn't have.
Man, when I modded my SNES Classic, I added games I found in these types of videos. "Must haves" for the SNES, and I found myself in the same shoes....
I didnt like 90% of them. Most of the games that are exalted by popular opinion are just overrated. I think part of it may be because they aren't nostalgic to us? Either way, yeah...I had to sift through a lot of titles to find what I wanted.
Needs more Donkey Kong Country 😛
Just came across the channel and top content. Went crazy today and bought a Wii U. Watching The Thing (1982) on it. Subscribed to both this and the film channel!!!
Another Samurai Pizza Cat fan!! Yes!! Haha. Love the video! Totally brought me back to my days of playing SNES and anxiously awaiting games. Thanks so much for a fantastic list!!
You said you'd love a sequel to Super Ghouls N' Ghosts. Are you aware of Ultimate Ghosts and Goblins?
That game is actually super pimp. I love that it had rpg elements to it where you could equip different abilities from your menu screen. I just wish it wasnt 2.5D. It didnt age too well.
My top 10
1 Super Castlevania 4
2 Legend Of Zelda LTTP
3 Super Mario World
4 Super Star Wars
5 Starwing
6 Street Fighter 2 Turbo
7 F Zero
8 Plok
9 Super Mario Allstars
10 Cybernator
Great list!! Lots of memories of these games!!
I really do love your passion man, great vid!
Chronotrigger
Earthbound
Link to the past
Amazing list and amazing channel glad I found it 🙂
The way you describe every game took me back to that time when legendary games were born and our childhood was more than magical. Thank you!
I love how passionate you are about games. Keep up the great content.
