Dinosaur Planet was the original name of Star Fox Adventures. Also, Shadowrun was also a game ahead of its time, clearly a very ambitious game from the developers at Data East.
What about Tales of Phantasia on the Super Famicom? Or its spiritual sequel Star Ocean, also on the Super Famicom. Both JRPGs have a ton of voice dialogue and had many things that are used in modern RPGs to this day.
@AlastorShadow0 I played Tales of Phantasia with the dejap fan translation on ZSNES back in the 90's. It's reached those outside of Japan for those who went looking for those games.
Great list. Personally one game that always comes to mind for me here is Star Ocean. So much going on with that game I find it crazy it worked on the SNES.
Jurassic Park solid? They put so much resources into the game they forgot to put an ending in it. Undoubtedly one of the worst endings in SNES history.
All the SNES KOEI games were amazing. This era was brutally slain when KOEI was bought out. Everything they made since that point was trash sadly. Gemfire, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Uncharted Waters and New Horizons, and a couple others like Inindo and and even a revolutionary war tactical empire builder. Combined these games probably used like 10 years of my life.
First: the style witch which this channel explains its contents is outstandingly cool! Second: Starfox graphics have been a necessary compromise for us at the time! I remember the first time I saw it running on a SNES, I thought it felt a lot like the original Battlezone from the early eighties, just with more modern pixel art and sound effects. But we already knew that those poor looking games were necessary to then have access to early true experiences with polygons like Virtua Racing, Virtua Fighter or Ridge Racer. The only true upgrade (not so much, but it looks slightly better) with polygons on SNES was Winter Gold, but it was released in 1996 only in PAL territories (like here in Europe).
the reason terranigma never came to the usa is because the enix branch of america was dissolved the year it released after multiple failures to appeal to the west with their at the time current "top" title domestically, dragon quest. we dont really hear back from enix ever since until square bankrupted from producing their movie flop and enix buying and merging the two companies, a lot of titles were kind of in jeopardy because of this restructure and probably why its taking so long for all these to come back to modern platforms because jp ppl typically ask permission to the original creators
I still have a special place in my heart for the OG Star Fox, so many great memories, and maybe the best OST Nintendo has ever produced. Of course I found SF64 to be the better game of the two overall, but as the first game in the series, the OG game had all the magic.
Fun video, I like your sense of humor. You need some more posture checks though! Dinosaur Planet being Starfox Adventure is probably just behind Doki Doki Panic becoming Super Mario Bros 2 at the top of the video game trivia pile.
Start fox had to have its name changed in Europe due to a company I think in Russia called starvox. Also. If you like the jurassic park game, I recommend a rom hack which added a save function.
Dinosaur Planet! I remember following this game in the magazines and was so disappointed when I finally got to play it when it was released. I expected a sci-fi Zelda and ... it wasn't quite that 😄I've learned to go in to games without any expectations since then.
Ahead of its time means that something was too advanced or modern to be appreciated at the time it was created. This was never the case with SNES games as they were pretty much loved from day one.
Super Metroid is a great game. I would say that the Gameboy Advance remake Zero Mission and Fusion are more fun to me. Fusion is a survival horror if you think about it.
Aye. It was going to be an attempt at creating a new franchise starring Krystal (who just became a part of the Star Fox team), but they got cold feet and tweaked a few things to make it a Star Fox game. Great game too. It's basically Zelda with rail shooter segments when planet hopping. My only complaint was the last fight. Would've also really liked them to have created a Falco game back then since he was not present in Star Fox Adventures.
Terranigma is pretty accessible to us in the states in case anyone's wondering. Obviously emulation is cheaper but I got a reproduction cart for 20 bucks. Sooo worth it.
Solid list but I dunno about starting out with Jurassic Park of all games. I suppose it was ambitious for it's time and tried some cool stuff, but you could say the same thing about Castlevania 2. Not saying they're equally bad or anything but if I really wanted to play a JP game I'd probably pick any of the Mega Drive titles before this one. They're just more fun to play imho.
Star Fox looks rough today? Dude.. That game is the singular reason I stopped ever trusting magazine reviews to purchase a game. I paid £65 for that game on import cartridge here in the UK. And was vainly checking inside the box for the real game when I booted up the game upon arriving home from the 40 mile round trip from the import game shop. I genuinely thought someone was pranking me with a 1980 arcade rom or something similar. The game looked horrible in 1993. I'm sure it was a technical marvel that the SNES was able to display polygons. It doesn't make it any good. The Commodore 64 was displaying polygons 10 years previous to that.
Ogre Battle is a personal favorite of mine, still amazing even to this day. It's to bad square probably won't make another, as they're to busy pushing certain "agendas"
The syndicate for snes was a cool xcom/shadow run kinda game. Robotrek never gets enough love 😕and my personal favorite i never beat was Inindo: way of the ninja an rpg with japan for its map with an ever changing political landscape you could change by running sabotage or spying on rival provinces
I do honestly think you can fully appreciate a game without ever fully beating it, I call Sekiro one of my favourite ever games but the Sword Saint was just absolute torture for me compared to every other Soulsborne boss
I played the OG and the first sequel, I'm not sure if I completed the second one but I DID 100% the first one and I never played the third one because "Kiddy Kong" was really a dumb idea for a character!! But I currently have all three of them for the Super Famicom as "Super Donkey Kong"… Being that I have epilepsy and Cerebral Palsy, I didn't read the manual and figured out the controls on my own!! In 1994 I was 17 years old and I'm currently 47…
I don't understand how people can say Star Fox looks dated these days.. I mean, it looked like crap even back then. Those early polygon days were rough, but I get it - they were necessary. Still doesn't change the fact that they looked like crap though.
Please dont take offence to this comment but as I've seen other channels do it I've got to ask - why is a (presumably) UK based channel using the (most definitely) shittier US boxart in its vids? Again, honest question. I assume its a means of appealing to the admittedly much larger US market?? Either that or I've missed something completely. Appreciate any ones contribution on this as i find it a bit odd but, if for reasons above, totally understandable.

The Answer to the question about star fox adventures is "Dinosaur Planet".
Dinosaur Planet was the original name of Star Fox Adventures.
Also, Shadowrun was also a game ahead of its time, clearly a very ambitious game from the developers at Data East.
It was developed by Beam Software.
What about Tales of Phantasia on the Super Famicom? Or its spiritual sequel Star Ocean, also on the Super Famicom. Both JRPGs have a ton of voice dialogue and had many things that are used in modern RPGs to this day.
It was an Golden Age. Secret of Mana, Mario Rpg, Evermore, Earthbound!!!!!
Both were also not released outside Japan so it doesn't affect us outside Japan.
I think Phantasia was also the 1st one to actually manage to fit in a full song in its Opening in-game PV w/c is pretty normal nowadays as well
@AlastorShadow0 I played Tales of Phantasia with the dejap fan translation on ZSNES back in the 90's. It's reached those outside of Japan for those who went looking for those games.
@@AlastorShadow0 As they were influential on other games, yes it does.
SNES RPGs were way ahead of their time
Star Fox Adventures was originally going to be called Dinosaur Planet on the N64.
Great list. Personally one game that always comes to mind for me here is Star Ocean. So much going on with that game I find it crazy it worked on the SNES.
Actraiser was one of my favorite games of all time. I played it so much I could do deathless runs.
it's crazy the idea hasn't been done a lot more recently, chuck in some lifesim stuff and it'd be absolute catnip for a lot of people
@@CulturedVulturesCult Of The Lamb scratched that itch a little.

Jurassic Park solid? They put so much resources into the game they forgot to put an ending in it. Undoubtedly one of the worst endings in SNES history.
Pretty much every video game back then had that type of ending
Dude! I never hear anyone talk about Jurassic Park on the NES! I didn't know there was a SNES version :(
I really like that SNES has mode 7 and Super FX chip to push the limits, even I like audio, sprites and amazing game library!
thank you, sir! you're awesome
@@CulturedVultures you're awesome too!!!

Dinosaur planet would be a great game if it was like...a planet made it dinosaurs...and it went out and tried to attack other planets.
Ego the Living Planet vs A T-Rex planet, who wins?
Rangering Ranger is very much like Turrican. It is also from the same company.
Rendering Ranger even...
Man I was so hyped for Dinosaur Planet as a kid the idea of Rare having their own Zelda clone
Ayo Phantom 2040 in the opening video.
The original title for Star Fox Adventures was Dinosaur Planet. As far as I remember, the game never featured Fox originally.
First: the style witch which this channel explains its contents is outstandingly cool!
Second: Starfox graphics have been a necessary compromise for us at the time!

Who remembers the first time you inverted the field in Fifa 96 and the entirety of Manchester United fell into the vastness of space?
RIP Nicky Butt, he's somewhere near Neptune now
Ogre Battle was released so much sooner, it's a shame. If it were released in early '93 instead of mid '95 like Japan then it would've sold nicely.
Star Fox Adventures originally an N64 title called Dinosaur Planet. Weird development on this one!
the reason terranigma never came to the usa is because the enix branch of america was dissolved the year it released after multiple failures to appeal to the west with their at the time current "top" title domestically, dragon quest. we dont really hear back from enix ever since until square bankrupted from producing their movie flop and enix buying and merging the two companies, a lot of titles were kind of in jeopardy because of this restructure and probably why its taking so long for all these to come back to modern platforms because jp ppl typically ask permission to the original creators
Star Fox Adventures original name was going to be Dinosaur Planet, you can also play a prototype of the game via a N64 ROM 😊
I enjoyed JP on snes a whole bunch! I remember it blowing my mind. Flaws and all..i loved it
This was another one where I felt like I was going insane because there were so many other games I wanted to discuss in this script.
Great video guys!

Ogre Battles spin off series Tactics Ogre did get a very recent release in 2022 but the mainline game sadly hasn't been picked up still
Dinosaur Planet! I was very excited after reading about its upcoming release on the N64. I even made an html website about it for computer class. 😅
haha sick, I made one for MGS2!
