Every Thanksgiving holiday break, I post a video on both Thursday and Friday, because there's never anything to do on the day after Thanksgiving. Enjoy
See: ukiyo-e woodblock printing. even their "traditional" art were more or less pop-art, they just do their own thing, their art evolved ridiculously, but never really stopped.
I would say a lot of it came directly out of the horror of having the bomb dropped on them twice and WW2 generally. The mutations that occurred out of the radiation poisoning of the bomb. The unstoppable enemy wading in from beyond the sea to level their cities. A hero transforms from their regular selves to something else entirely to stop them.
Japan has 125 million people living in an area half the size of Texas. Ideas and experimentation flow there significantly faster than they can anywhere else.
SNES Drunk video on a Friday? What a treat! i've had SUCH a rough week due to university and my anxiety and your updates always bring me joy (even on games that aren't my type). You're my favorite TH-camr, dude. Keep up the good work.
@@luisvilla799 lol i can't i'm getting a licensing to teach Geography degree, i can't cheat my whole way through it. I definetely did to graduate highschool, i'll say that.
The Rs mess it up a bit, but I guess I'm biased because my native language [Portuguese] makes it much easier to pronounce anything in Japanese, even if I can't understand crap. There's definitely a bunch of phonemes in English that are a PITA for me to speak right.
Possibly the best list you have made! So many options presented to fire up bizarre Emulators that otherwise would have gone unused. Thank you for the insight, and continued devotion to missed gems of the western audience.
The stages and mainly the huge bosses in Majyuuou have some really impressive looking effects. It looks generally amazing for a 16bit game, with a great fantasy/horror atmosphere, I love this. It's exactly my flavour when it comes to action platformers.
Just wanna say that I really love your videos because you somehow make all sorts of games I heard of or didn't hear of interesting. I usually just watch videos about games I already like or remember but your channel brings in a breeze of something different lol.
Awww what to do on this Friday, alone at home, wife & little daughter away, rainy sky over Paris...? Oh la la! a new video from Snes Drunk! Thanks for the gift (watching while eating my baguette)!!
THAT'S THE GAME I WAS LOOKING FOR! Gegege no Kitarou, that's the one! Some time ago I wrote a comment on one of your videos asking about a weird Japanese game from my childhood but we couldn't figure out what it was. I've been trying to find that game for over 20 years (not exaggerating) and had pretty much given up on it, but destiny brought me to this video today. I can finally rest in peace, thank you so much for the video.
This channel (you) keeps on giving and giving. So many gems and to the point reviews. No bullshit, bloated up videos or sensationalized content. Please stay that way!
Before I watch the entire clip, I click on all the indices to laugh at the funny SNESdrunk voices announcing the numbers. I love this concept of always varying it up the intro bits too :-)
I love this channel. Very good channel for rare gems and notable titles. Love the rom hack and fan translation recommendations... so much time saved selecting titles to play, thank you for sharing...
Weirdest game on SNES is the one where you’re an Italian plumber who gets the power to fly with a weird yellow cape that appears on your back when you touch a feather and who sometimes rides a dinosaur around that eats turtles that you can them spit out at other enemies. The color of the turtle shells have different effects. The red ones let you shoot fire. Crazy, I know!
Yeah, nothing makes sense in Mario games, but we're so used to them that we just don't pay attention
5 ปีที่แล้ว
Thank you! I'm 36 years old and i'm have been searching for the name of this game (Gegege no Kitarou: Fukkatsu Tenma Daiou) my entire life! Me and my brother have played it in our childhood days, but we couldn't read japanese! So it was impossible to know the name of the game at the time, and watching your video help me discover the name and remember it! thanks!
I own Yu Yu Hakusho: Tokubetsu Hen complete in box, I love it. I discovered the game back in the early days of emulation around 1999 or so and was blown away, you just didn't see games looking like that back then.
I started playing Gourmet Sentai and Parodius the other day thanks to this channel. And after a whole day of programming, logic and BRAIN STUFF it feels good to come home and play something so weird and wacky that has zero logic or reason. THANKS, SD!
Some very awesome games on this list indeed. Violinist of Hameln is one of my favorite games on the Super Famicom and SNES, it's the complete package of great graphics, sound and gameplay. One SuFami game I'd recommend if you haven't tried it already is Nangoku Shounen Papuwa-kun, it's another great platformer by Enix.
"Maybe they make you wonder if you accidentally took something without remembering, and that's really the best endorsement that I can give." Thank you, that was spiritually deep, it helps me precise "goals" as a musician, for example :p.
This was the list i was waiting for to add to my Super Famicom collection. Its a bit harder to search through the back catalogue with language restrictions. So thanks for doing all the leg work here. Added to my Ebay wish list. 😎
Appreciate the extra video this week man! I once owned violinist no hamlin, but was too confused and gave it too a friend... And if you liked the Yu Yu Hakusho game, the PC-FX has 2 similar to it, one live action and one fist of the north star style art. Also, I'm not a big shooter guy, but I love cute-em-ups, even tho they're never the easy ones.
This was a fun post-Thanksgiving treat. Thanks for giving it to us! I suspect that Kettler was chosen as a villain for UFO Kamen Yakisoban because a kettle full of boiling water is the... natural enemy of instant ramen? Personally, I wouldn't want to eat ramen without cooking it first, but I'm just trying to find the logic in this.
I'm a little surprised the Parodius games made #1 on your list considering the slew of incredibly bizarre games you mentioned that I hadn't even heard of. I'm definitely impressed you found so many weird games I didn't know. Most videos I see about weird games begin and end with Cho Aniki and Katamari :p
Great list SNES Drunk! I love seeing all of these crazy Japanese games we never get here in the US. If you do a follow-up to this video, though, I'd like to suggest you check out "Holy Umbrella: Dondera's Wild!!". I can't remember if you've looked at it before, but it's really fun and really weird. It even has a full English translation from Aeon Genesis. Anyway, thanks again for the great videos. Can't wait for the next one! Cheers!
Zig Zag Cat makes me think of an NES game with a similar concept, Pinball Quest. Here it's breakout, there it's pinball. Anyway, it was a welcome surprise to have a new video on Friday. Thanks!
I love this one so much, quite a lot of these look beautiful, hilarious, and very intriguing to me. I can’t wait to check my favorite english patched rom site to see if they have any of these. I know you mention that they can be navigated and played by the English speaking population, but I lately am loving translated Roms thanks to you!!!
I like see a channel that still make SNES content, i find here really good games Thanks AND happy Thanksgiving PD.: i like it if you could you make a top Puzzle SNES games
Actually Ghost Sweeper Mikami: Joreishi wa Nice Body is freakingly good game. Its fun to play, its feature a lot attention to detail and its, seems to, based on anime series.
'Weirdest SF Game' (though 13 minutes seems like a longer video, with the amount of goofy weird titles on the SF it could've probably been 13 hours). Thanx for the video :)
Oh my god I have been searching for Gegege no Kitarou: Fukkatsu Tenma Daiou for at least the past two decades. I remember some side-scrolling game on the SNES I used to play at my grandmother's house in Taiwan when I was a kid that was all in Japanese and some brown-haired kid shoots power out of his hair. I had started to think I was misremembering some details or made the entire thing up in my mind. I can die in peace now thanks to you.
I don't know if you mentioned this in the other video, but Gourmet Sentai Bara Yarou is available from Piko Interactive as well, at least on Steam. In English! They call it "Gourmet Warriors."
I can vouch for Deae Tonosama. It was featured in a challenge for the Big Bad 10 speedrun challenge this year. The game's not that bad though, most of its issues are slowdown related. The game has a really smooth feeling movement system with the dash jumps and the powerup mechanic is actually based on how many times you get hit or throw out your own attacks. Highly recommend checking out a speedrun guide if you want to get the most out of the movement, it's super enjoyable to fly around the stages.
Also read the original manga: there's a whole storyline showing the protagonist in Afterlife that was skipped in the cartoon because its producers wanted to go straight to the punch-and-kicking...
There is no game in my 33 years on this planet that I have played more than Gradius 3. I actually consider it to be one of the most perfect games ever made. This video was incredibly worth the watch for me to learn about parodius! Majyuuou looks right up my alley too
Loved the YYH Tokubetsu Hen games (yeah there is a prequel with the same system that covers the story from the beginning to the the tournament). I remember it being labeled as "Saint Seiya" on SNES rentals where people managed to play it somehow since the game had a lot of strategy and moves that worked as buff combos to trigger special effects on your characters (like transforming Kurama into Yoko, making Toguro go 120%, making Genkai younger, etc). The game is pretty addictive and pretty difficult but once u know which moves priorize on your character u can use weaklings like the Yoyo kid to beat OP freaks, even Sensui lol
Every Thanksgiving holiday break, I post a video on both Thursday and Friday, because there's never anything to do on the day after Thanksgiving. Enjoy
More weird japanese snes game please
There's no such thing as Thanksgiving here, but I am thankful for that
And we love you for it. I’m a Brit though so no thanksgiving here and I apologise for my awful teeth.
Black Friday is better with these videos
Am American and kinda hate the black friday stuff but you made a stay at home and check my YT for video treasure :D you're awesome!
Japan is so fascinating. It's like they've been having a localized artistic Renaissance ever since the early 80's that hasn't fully stopped.
Try the... 1380s...
See: ukiyo-e woodblock printing. even their "traditional" art were more or less pop-art, they just do their own thing, their art evolved ridiculously, but never really stopped.

Patient Zero are you familiar with a particular unintentional ASMRist/gentleman/TH-camr “David Bull” by any chance? 🧐
Alternate title: "13 Ways to Have a Great Rest of Your Day"
Agreed
Er, 18 ways... Whatever.
I agree with Turd McNugget
No matter how many times I watch his videos,
Every time I hear that I smile and wish SNESDrunk the same
Haa.
😄👍
It's never too early in the day to get SNES drunk.
Haa!
😆👍
Best videogame review channel hands down. So concise and entertaining
Thank you for watching
Fun fact: all of the Goemon games are translated now. All of them, including a re-translation of Mystical Ninja.
Does the re-translation of Mystical Ninja also include the cut striptease mini-game?
@@Nutty151 It's a translation of the Japanese version, so yeah.
@@Projectwolfie21 Cool. Also, the mini-game where Ebisumaru throws a fart, lol.
SNES Drunk video on a Friday? What a treat! i've had SUCH a rough week due to university and my anxiety and your updates always bring me joy (even on games that aren't my type). You're my favorite TH-camr, dude. Keep up the good work.
Best of luck with everything Tiago
It's black friday!!
Do what I did cheat in all your classes
@@luisvilla799 lol i can't i'm getting a licensing to teach Geography degree, i can't cheat my whole way through it. I definetely did to graduate highschool, i'll say that.
@@tiagocosmos Santiago funny thing is I'm a teacher lol with a useless business degree
For those watching and are unaware: Goemon 2,3 and 4 finally have translation patches!
my grandpa died earlier on Thanksgiving. your video helps lighten the mood. thank you!
What do you think his body looks like now?
Bye boomer
Snes drunk logic:
A girl fighting ghosts: *"so weird!"*
A gorilla wearing a tie riding a rhino fighting an army of lizards *"totally normal"*
xD good one
Well when you put it that way ... Huh, you're right!
Uhm...yeah? What's the point here?
@@Justforvisit exactly my point
This is such an underrated channel. I've been playing SNES games since 92/93, but still you find gems I haven't discovered yet. Bless you SNES drunk!
I speak a bit of Japanese. Your pronunciations of Japanese names are WAY better than most TH-camrs. So don't sweat it! Have a good one!
The Rs mess it up a bit, but I guess I'm biased because my native language [Portuguese] makes it much easier to pronounce anything in Japanese, even if I can't understand crap. There's definitely a bunch of phonemes in English that are a PITA for me to speak right.
He's still saying Hakusho wrong
@@AwesomeHairo He's saying a lot of things wrong but it's still good enough
Parodius is my absolute favorite game on the SNES I love it
:)
Keep up the good work with your videos ^^
Greetings from Stuttgart Germany
I always loved looking at those parodius games in magazines
Blessing us with all this content 🙏
Possibly the best list you have made! So many options presented to fire up bizarre Emulators that otherwise would have gone unused. Thank you for the insight, and continued devotion to missed gems of the western audience.
The stages and mainly the huge bosses in Majyuuou have some really impressive looking effects. It looks generally amazing for a 16bit game, with a great fantasy/horror atmosphere, I love this. It's exactly my flavour when it comes to action platformers.
Violinist of Hameln and Zig Zag Cat are two of my favorites! So glad to see them getting some recognition.
I will never tire of watching videos on the SNES/SFC.
Same here
Just wanna say that I really love your videos because you somehow make all sorts of games I heard of or didn't hear of interesting. I usually just watch videos about games I already like or remember but your channel brings in a breeze of something different lol.
Always a treat to find what you find
Awww what to do on this Friday, alone at home, wife & little daughter away, rainy sky over Paris...?
Oh la la! a new video from Snes Drunk!
Thanks for the gift (watching while eating my baguette)!!
Snes Drunk and Baguette. Sounds like a good/comfy time :) 👍
@@cloud9mitchellj509 Hon hon hon! Oui monsieur! Have a good day.
I want to say Majyuuou actually did get a fan translation, called “King of Demons”

Nice! You forgot to mention the amazing music on the Parodius games, with many tunes based on classical music. Catchy and educative! :)
When I was in high school I was huge into Yu Yu Hakusho I ended up downloading the ROM from my school's computer to play
Also i agree, Ken Griffey Jr. with the voice over as you said would have been awesome! Haha
Thank you for making a bonus video! Thanks for taking the time and again, thanks for making quality stuff that we look foward to.
Great F’in video. Particularly loved your descriptions of Parodius.
Your videos are so good. As somebody who went through every single SNES rom in my youth this is so, so nostalgic for me
Nice video! I really enjoyed all the weird and wacky titles that I can now put on my wanted SNES list.
The fact that SNES drunk isn't in youtubes trending every week should be enough of an indication that the world is completly backwards.
Great video. And Polovtsian Dances and Choruses is amazing; really amuses me how often it shows up in weird Japanese stuff.
U deserve more subs, I love your content it’s light and insightful, but sadly we are a small few who grew up knowing the SNES n that era games.
A small few? The SNES sold 23 million units in America bud! Lol
Bonus video day just made my day! I’m working all day today, this totally cheered me up!
I love this channel. Very good channel for rare gems and notable titles. Love the rom hack and fan translation recommendations... so much time saved selecting titles to play, thank you for sharing...

Subbed about 3 weeks ago, love your videos
Awesome video because I love learning about new games, but I honestly didn't think many of those were weird.
I own Yu Yu Hakusho: Tokubetsu Hen complete in box, I love it. I discovered the game back in the early days of emulation around 1999 or so and was blown away, you just didn't see games looking like that back then.

The sad part is little people remember the manga it's based on. Snd the game itself is pretty obscure
Man, Snesdrunk. I think I know what games to get, thanks to your channel when I finally get a SNES flash cartridge.
4:08 I really like that dandruff spraying guy
thanks for the video i found my favourite games back. these are the real deal!
Parodius are my #1 favorite side scrolling shooters.
Gokujou Parodius was my childhood, no wonder I grew up like this
Sitting in a tram stop getting soaked by rain, instantly cheer seeing ANOTHER upload for the week, so happy now woohoo haha.
Great list, eases you into some strange ones, and by the end of the list, straight off the deep end. Good stuff!
"Maybe they make you wonder if you accidentally took something without remembering, and that's really the best endorsement that I can give." Thank you, that was spiritually deep, it helps me precise "goals" as a musician, for example :p.
That "Polovstian Dance" in the ending... So great. :)

Solid list, got a couple on here I haven't checked out yet! That'll be changin' soontime. Keep killin' it Drunkmastaflex!
That last sentence of the Parodius review made the whole video worth it. Like being on acid without taking it.
I love weird games and didn't know about a lot of these! thanks!
6:28 the flexing stained glass saints in the background made me lol 😂
I really enjoy your videos man !
Love from France !
Japanese people seem to have wild imaginations.
Mmmh pretty sure the bosses are all mithological beings like the real Raiden here 4:30
Or some really powerful drugs
That's true. They hardly smoke marijuana either.
haha yah!
Check Shuji terayama "films Pastoral: To Die in the Country" (1974)and Grass Labyrinth.
The best part of waking up is SNESdrunk in your box! ;)
This was a fun post-Thanksgiving treat. Thanks for giving it to us!

Kettle and Kettler are the same which the the water boiler you use to prepare instant Ramen noodles, cool video btw.
Majyuuo is so amazing. I tried to get through the game as just the initial gun toting Belmont clone, and it was super fun
Dude hope you had a great holiday! Cheers buddy!
Zig Zag Cat makes me think of an NES game with a similar concept, Pinball Quest. Here it's breakout, there it's pinball. Anyway, it was a welcome surprise to have a new video on Friday. Thanks!
3:48 This enemy is on Castlevania: Simphony of the Night, in the inverted castle, Bitterfly.

Great and weird SF games! I remember following a project long time ago on Yu Yu Hakusho: Tokubetsu Hen english translation which never finished.
I like see a channel that still make SNES content, i find here really good games Thanks AND happy Thanksgiving
PD.: i like it if you could you make a top Puzzle SNES games
A Dario Argento reference on a 16bit games video, now THAT's unexpected. Well, you sold me the game on this one :)
I love that you make lists with 13 games.
So glad you got Cho Aniki in there! I was getting worried! :p Also, @8:54 is that the inspiration for Dead Space!? Hope you had a good gobbles day.
Literally only watched to make sure Parodius was at number 1 as it should be. Was not disappointed.
That Yuyu Hakusho game took me a while to figure out as a kid.
Another great video. Just all around awesome. 🦄🦄🦄
Great video dude! Thank you
I love Ultimate Parodius. So weird, but so much fun!
Actually Ghost Sweeper Mikami: Joreishi wa Nice Body is freakingly good game. Its fun to play, its feature a lot attention to detail and its, seems to, based on anime series.
Hamelin no Violin Hiki looks awesome. Another game to look for now while I'm in Japan.
Great list. Definitely need to get my hands on some of these games
'Weirdest SF Game' (though 13 minutes seems like a longer video, with the amount of goofy weird titles on the SF it could've probably been 13 hours). Thanx for the video :)
"It's like a Miyazaki film on a bad acid trip!"

Oh my god I have been searching for Gegege no Kitarou: Fukkatsu Tenma Daiou for at least the past two decades. I remember some side-scrolling game on the SNES I used to play at my grandmother's house in Taiwan when I was a kid that was all in Japanese and some brown-haired kid shoots power out of his hair.

A great video to start the day.
I can vouch for Deae Tonosama. It was featured in a challenge for the Big Bad 10 speedrun challenge this year. The game's not that bad though, most of its issues are slowdown related. The game has a really smooth feeling movement system with the dash jumps and the powerup mechanic is actually based on how many times you get hit or throw out your own attacks. Highly recommend checking out a speedrun guide if you want to get the most out of the movement, it's super enjoyable to fly around the stages.
To those of you who don’t know what yu yu hakusho is: do yourself a favor and watch the anime. It’s freaking amazing.
Also read the original manga: there's a whole storyline showing the protagonist in Afterlife that was skipped in the cartoon because its producers wanted to go straight to the punch-and-kicking...
I've only played three of the games on this list. The violin dude, Majyuuou and one of the Parodius games. And I think they all were a lot of fun!
There is no game in my 33 years on this planet that I have played more than Gradius 3. I actually consider it to be one of the most perfect games ever made. This video was incredibly worth the watch for me to learn about parodius!
