I used to play Stunt Race FX religiously when I was a kid. I thought it was amazing that I even had a racing game that was in 3D and had such dynamic environments.
SNES, GBA PS1 PS4 videos from you make me happy... And I'm happier to see far east of Eden (Tengai Makyō Zero) Pilotowings has a special place in my heart, and I still have it. Another graphically impressive SNES game can be Traverse starlight and praise so beautiful RPG sadly never left Japan... Ihatovo Monogatari is a weird game and won't be for everyone, but still a hidden gem, I think can be a good choice as well. Thanks again for another video 😊😊
I remember Pilot Wings! Especially because a similar game (that included only the parachute part) was included in an old Nokia phone (3510 I believe). But yeah, really fun game!
In a way I think Super Butouden 2 "feels" more like DBZ, and has more accurate movement and camera angles. At the end of the day, DBZ means fighting in the sky as much as the ground. Graphically conveying that is just as challenging as making pretty sprites. Hyper Dimensions is a prettier game. It just looks like a DBZ texture pack for Mortal Kombat and plays like one too.
The SNES blew people away with impressive graphics day one so it’s no wonder you’ve got many games you can make these videos on. An I’m happy to see the superior looking SNES model get used for the intro. 0:43 - Is this Will but older? Rather cool if your character actually aged up throughout the game all the way back on the SNES. The colour palette is amazingly vibrant! 2:20 - Going for a far more muted palette here but Cybernator is impressing with the animation of it’s robot (that gun arm has a wonderful movement to it) and the in-your-face explosion effect. 3:24 - That so? It does intrigue me so I’ll have to consider checking it out if I get time. 8:30 - Hudson Soft’s turn based RPG I believe. Somewhat doubt Konami will go the extra mile of translating these games for a modern collection release but it’d be cool if they did. I like how they have the Phantasy Star/Dragon Quest enemy focus view point whilst still having each player character visible, and with distinctively vibrant back sprites to boot. 12:44 - An then there’s the thumbnail game. The closest I’ve ever got to experiencing anything of this Butoden series was Ultimate Battle 22… which doesn’t give a good impression. These SNES entries look to run much smoother. The fuzzy backgrounds have a nice charm to them, as if they are conveying far distances. 14:01 - The light effect of Turrican’s gun looks so cool. Also liking the small animated background details, managing to breathe a bit of life into the destroyed city landscape. 16:04 - The blocky look has a nostalgic charm to it these days. Love the decision to add big bobbly eyes to the cars and the water splash effect looks great.
@@opaljk4835 Thanks for the explanation. I only saw the two characters, both sword wielders with blonde hair, an assumed they were the same person at different ages.
@@grinbrothers technically will transforms. The knight dude is Fredan, and close to the end is a guy called Shadow. you can use his arm as a sword lol.
@@jaodasilva7993 of course! It's not perfect, but it helps. It's so funny...when I used to play Stunt Race FX, Vortex, and Star Fox as a kid, none of the slowdown or low FPS ever bothered me. I didn't know any better. I wish I could be that innocent again! 😂
Trials of Mana (or Seiken Densetsu 3 at the time) will forever be one of my most cherished memories of this console. I was 15 at the time it came out, and have been such a fan of Squaresoft with Secret of Mana, FF6 and Chrono Trigger that I willingly had to starve for 2 months straight on my lunch allowance to get enough money to be able to buy it on an import games shop besides my school. I understood nothing of its story, and I still had a blast playing it for a few months.
Some absolute gems on this list! ToP was mind-blowing for the time, though now I prefer the ps1 version with a translation patch. Just a more graphically polished that was able to beef up the stunning 2D art.
Is interesting when i played Cybernator 26 years ago. I loved. And I was able to finished that game multiple times with my best friend. Also I remember the US game did not have the characters faces in the dialogs. But the Japanese game has that. Recently I tried to play a Japanese ROM with the English text but I was not able to complete the game.
Illusion of Gaia is pretty fun! I haven't finished it though, but I definitely like how it looks. Tales of Phantasia I enjoyed as well, though I think the PS1 version looks better. I know the SNES version is very iconic though and I have a copy of this version as well. Trials of Mana is similar to Phantasia in how iconic it is as an SNES RPG. My friend showed me the game years ago as kids on emulator and I ended up getting the version that was released in the Collection of Mana thing for Switch. I haven't played much of it but I have a lot of respect for the game. Dragon Ball Z Super Butoden 2 is probably my favorite of the Super Butoden games because of the story mode. I got a copy of the game for my collection years ago but I always played it on emulator back in the day.
A great video! This is my first of yours, but not the last. I love how you open up the video with the piano from the Tekken 2 intro (where we see Nina for the 1st time). Instant subscriber!!❤❤❤❤
Trials of mana was so underrated that the rerelease on modern systems show of how unique it is…….,. Unless you count that fight against the black rabbit where it crashes every now and then, or it’s just my copy or perhaps just my device.(Nintendo switch.)
back then in 1990s when i was a kid in melbourne there was a amazing video game store İ think it was a blockbuster store so when İ was looking to buy snes games boxed with booklets you could not now what games people like because there was no youtube or videos to look for on cellphones so İ was choosing them randomly
The SNES was truly a great system. With the right programming tricks and skills, there's a lot to do with its 256 simultaneous (32768 possible) colors, up to four layers of parallax scrolling plus sprite layer and its mode 7 7 capabilities. Some early PS games looked inferior to the best looking SNES games, and titles like Rendering Ranger R2 and Turtles Tournament Fighters are even on par with some Neo Geo games. Amazing home console and still a great system with an amazing library of games and some decent and quite accurate arcade ports from the pre arcade perfect aera, MK2, Fatal Fury Special, World Heroes 1 and 2, Fighters History, Parodius, the great and timeless Street Fighter games and of course the port of Killer Instinct, with inferior sound and graphics but faster and better gameplay than the arcade original. The SNES was all you needed in the early to mid 90s. Many people (mostly fanboys, I don't mind any sort of fanboyism) today claim the SNES has muffled audio (but it's actually better than other cartridge based systems of the same generation), a slow CPU (indeed, 3.58mHz is actually slow compared to others but don't forget about enhancement chips with MUCH higher clock speed) and lower horizontal resolution (256 pixels wide, others had 320), but its whole architecture was entirely different to other systems of the time like the Megadrive or PC Engine/TG-16 for example, so it doesn't make sense to compare the CPU clock speed of the different systems. Every system had its strenghts and weaknesses (just like today, but it would be kind of boring if everything is the same), but the most important thing is, NOBODY complained about such things back then, we were more than happy with what we got. Great times back then, the 16bit aera was the best imo abd I'm glad I whitnessed it. Please excuse my bad English (it's not my language) and have a nice day!
I actually preferred Actraiser II to the first one. What I liked about the first game was the action. The sim building was always confusing and boring to me. Actraiser II took care of that and just focused on the side-scrolling and the action.
Funny that the framerate of stuntrace FX was mentioned cos I definitely don't remember the game running as well as it does on the video using original Hardware!
They use some clever tricks to get over the low framerate by overlaying the timer down to the hundredth of a second and statuses running 60fps along with the flicker on the tires to simulate tread and illusion of movement.
Ocean Software published a game that isn't a stinker? You learn something new every day... So many good looking 2D games on Mega Drive, SNES (Super Famicom), Neo Geo. They have their port on PS1. They have a higher color count on screen then 4th gen systems and something else. Lower number frames of animation per sprites. This is where PS1 struggles.
7:15 Couldn't disagree more, the difficulty in Actraiser 2 was so much fun to figure out. And the gameplay was more interesting and less straightforward than the previous games platforming stages. Also, the bosses are significantly better than 1 as well. I understand why people don't like the absence of the sim aspect since it was such a core element of the first game. However, it's clear that's not what 2 is going for. it's going for a challenging platformer in the same vein as Ghouls n Ghosts, and in that, I think it succeeds.
SNES: better color, better sound, better ram, better graphic SEGA: we have faster..... processing...... ok let's call it Turbo. WE WIN!!!! SNES: But your color dull, your game sounds like fart and the picture more fuzzy SEGA: WE WIN!!!!!!

Illusion of gaia/time is my favourite snes game and is definitely in my top 5 games games of all time.
I’m so glad Cybernator and Super Turrican 2 got recognition along with Act Raiser 2. It had a good soundtrack too!

it was the best dbz game on snee. he most likely will do a part 4. it wasnt a best game list so makes sense why he might save best for last
@@xochimalli More like Street Fighter 2 than Mortal Kombat.

You know what you're doing on the thumbnail
Thank you for featuring illusion of Gaia it was one of the most awesome snes titles and seeing it get some love after all this time was amazing
It gets a lot of hate, but I really loved Act Raiser 2. I enjoyed that game a lot at the time it was released
Cybernator, Front Mission and Metal Marines got that 80s anime going on strong.
I'll always prefer Metal Warrior over Cybernator due to it's excellent head to head mode.
i liked more the story and graphics of cybernator but the head to head mode in metal warriors was isanely fun
Illusion of Gaia was one of my favorites as a kid. I bought it in the bargain bin at EB games and was blown away by how deep it was.
Trials of Mana (or Seiken Densetsu 3 at the time) will forever be one of my most cherished memories of this console.
I was 15 at the time it came out, and have been such a fan of Squaresoft with Secret of Mana, FF6 and Chrono Trigger that I willingly had to starve for 2 months straight on my lunch allowance to get enough money to be able to buy it on an import games shop besides my school.

It’s crazy how back in the day I never noticed anything slow about Stunt RaceFX. Loved that game.
love the Sea of Stars background tunes!🤣
Is that Android 18 on the Thumbnail? Very catchy #Alore
Never hear about Cybernator and I love Metal Warrios. Gonna try to play it now 🤩🤩
Some absolute gems on this list! ToP was mind-blowing for the time, though now I prefer the ps1 version with a translation patch. Just a more graphically polished that was able to beef up the stunning 2D art.

Some awesome games highlighted here. Cybernator is such a hidden gem, and also visually impressive as stated. Another excellent episode man!

As a kid I played stunt race FX for hour and hour listening to my rave generation 2 tapes. Life was good!
Those were the days!

Thanks Brichan! 🙂
Great video! BTW are u using Sea of Stars 8-bit ost as background music? That's top notch!
Hyper Dimension was graphically better than Super Butouden 2 & 3. It didn’t have the split screen though 🤔
Quintet never made a bad game, but Terranigma is their masterpiece. I can't believe it was never released in the US.
Love the thumbnail 🫶❤️xx
Ahhh I love tales of phantasia so much
It's rare to see someone give Cybernator the appreciation it deserves.
Deserved way more attention!
Glad to see tales of phantasia added to this list its a great game.
Trials of mana was so underrated that the rerelease on modern systems show of how unique it is…….,. Unless you count that fight against the black rabbit where it crashes every now and then, or it’s just my copy or perhaps just my device.(Nintendo switch.)
Super nes was very capable
loving the Seas of Stars music in the background (:
Such a great soundtrack!
Some clips of the games with full audio, vfx and video at the same time would take your videos to the next level.

8:24 Path of Justice, from CrossCode? Man, I love that game

Cybernator reminds me of Target Earth on the Sega Genesis
Same series / universe.
Good video and who’s the artist.
You forgot the most beautiful one : Chaos Seed!!!
I mean not to be a broken record but yo thumbnails n description of the ganes be on point 😩
Great content as always.
Thank you!
More 2d action rpg please !
Though the Trials of Mana remake is good, I still prefer the classic gameplay style better.
I would say that the most graphically impressive DBZ game is Hyper Dimension.
IMO the Super Famicom is a vastly more aesthetically pleasing design (compared to the SNES).
I prefer the SNES because of nostalgia but yeah the Super Famicom looked better
oh dude, i prefer it too until i think about how rad the super famicom looked. the nostalgia tho@@NinjaxWizardGoVroom
I think Dbz sb2 is the first time we get to play as Zangya, Bojack, and Broly.

Illusion of Gaia looks a lot like Alundra on the ps1
more like king collosus on sega genesis
In my mind, Illusion of Gaia falls short of his successor Terranigma. Wasnt released in the US afaik
9:34 A rhino-horse with a pink afro?!? 😱
Who made the animation during the first 4 seconds? I’d commission them for a friend

Best intro.. 😍
If you like cybernator you will love metal warriors
The thumbnail should have been riesz from ToM and the characters from Tenkyo Makai Zero
That thumbnail, the recognisable art style, either you're really clever or really sick, but nonetheless it appears to be working, kudos
Nothing sick about cleavage, mate.
cool one as usual..i d only swap dbz super butoden 2 with the newer and more impressive dbz hyper dimension
Funny enough, I just bought that yesterday.
It's a good thing that I have both super Nintendo and super famicom
android 18 is so damn fine
I'll be honest, the title alone was intriguing enough, didn't need the android 18 thumbnail to get me here lol.
Good memories
What track is playing during Cybernator?
I'm a simple man. I see booba I click.
la gran paleta de colores y el efecto de mascara fue una gran ventaja, algunos juegos RPG se ven mejor que los que había en 32bits
Krillin's fail count -69
I love Tengai Makyou Zero
I played the second one when i was a kid, but i'm pretty sure the name was not cybernator :S
there are other 2 similar games. Metal warriors and front mission
I know you've probably answered this before but what is the title of your intro music or where does it come from?
It's from the opening to Tekken 2
@@Frieowksf1293Thank you very much. Hope you have a great day!
nice thumbnail 😏
the donkey kongs could have been here I think
Is that a sea of stars song in the trials of mana section? Or did sea of stars borrow that song from this game as an Easter egg?
How do I join your Discord page?
Cybernator is a sequel or prequel to Metal Warriors? It looks the same
I need a few minutes alone with that android
Alien series should be on here
Is the snes far east of eden characters the same with the neogeo fighting game one
I like how many of these games were never released outside of japan on the snes. They hogged all of the best looking games!
The best console of time❤
While Super Turrican 2 is impressive it doesn’t compare to the level of effects shown in Rendering Ranger.
The best snes game graphically was donkey kong country, end of story.

Super Butoden 2? REALLY? There's nothing impressive about it. Hyper Dimension is impressive to this day.
Do not play Illusion of gaia; it's goddess related and a possible door to demon possession(gods and goddesses are one way they are known)...
