Love the vid, as always! As a US gamer, I can say I'm happy for you all, but also rather envious that you folks got those Cute 'Em Ups and Terranigma. Also, I agree with you about traveling; traveling around the world is so much fun and I really do wish more people could do it. I'm thankful I got to see so many different countries and cultures and still wish to see many more. Cheers! :)
Top Hat Gaming Man, I've been following you since 7000 subscribers and this channel has EXPlODED recently! And you deserve it to grow even faster (although that couldn't realistically happen). You've done such a good job!! Your fast upload schedule is outstanding. Please keep it up
I owned Theme Park for the SNES, and I don't recall it looking as glitchy as that copy of it looked, although it actually had some censorship compared to the Megadrive version - apparently for some reason the SNES version of Theme Park decided that the toilets that needed to be placed for guests in every other version of the game didn't need to be in the SNES version, which made the strategy of getting your guests all hyped up on caffeine and salting the food to make them want to drink more, even more effective :D
French and German were offered at my California high school also while mandarin and Japanese were not. So ridiculous as we had way more Chinese and Japanese students and folks living with us here
I had IT lectures when I was in university where we were taught an entire programming language in one semester only to be told at the end that it was obsolete and Java was the future so I wouldn't put it past someone to do that :P
Top Hat Gaming Man as an Kraut by myself i think you are right. even we Germans try to put in as much anglisicms than possible in our speech. But...Currywurst still is superior to Fish n' Chips. 😁
To add to this, in America there's no standard language that students are required to learn, and the languages available to learn will vary depending on what school district a child is in. (E.g., I took four years of Japanese in high school, whereas "shipdop dop" didn't have that opportunity.) Almost every school will teach Spanish, though, since there is a high need for Spanish translators due to the large amount of Mexican immigrants who can't be bothered to learn English.
In fact, we missed none in Europe, that was the time all those specialized video games import shops opened all over. We were getting all the Japan and American exclusives.
The stupidest example of the Americanized box art trend was the SNES game "Ranma ½: Hard Battle". This is a fighting game based on a popular manga / anime series, yet the box art featured ugly, Americanized versions of the characters.
I think that's not the problem here. It's more like.. you know, the original boxart featured art by the original artist which makes sense since it's a game based on THEIR manga / anime series... so, if you change that, it looks like a cheap bootleg game... ^^; which is kind of an issue...
J Smith because whatever version they've morphed it to sucked? They were all awful... Legend of mystical ninja, megaman (why couldn't they leave it as rockman which made a ton more sense), etc. Super Mario looks like anime but they didn't botch that at all... Imagine they tweaked that to show something similar to the Hollywood image of it. Blech
I just finished watching all your videos. Congrats on 10k almost 11 already! The snes was my favourite home system growing up. Until my parents bought a 486 pc to replace our c128. A great game released in ntsc u/j only was Inido way of the ninja.
An overlay ad for a f2p game but no video ads - if you are being affected by the demonetisation. I can't imagine trying to play Theme park on a controller - I remember thinking the same of the snes version of sim city as well. Although I never played these games on the snes so I don't, actually, know how well it worked. Bomberman !! WTF - that was never in america :(. One of the happiest moments of my youth was walking in on my computer studies class to see every single machine running a version of bomberman that i had written and the entire class crowded around the machines playing. The college compstudies department made a rule because of the popularity of my game that we were allowed to play any game for which we had the source code. :) It basically seems that american console players were denied every kind of strategy game whereas we were denied any kind of strategy-rpg. God damned regional releases. I find it surprising that you did not grow up with asterix - Asterix and tin-tin were quite preposterously popular in my school.
I owned (and still own) both Sim City and Theme Park on the SNES and they work really well. You just move a cursor of the grid layout (which is there anyway) and open menus with other buttons. I never missed having a mouse playing these games, because they were designed around that control scheme. As a fun fact, there was even a StarCraft 64 game you couldn't play with a mouse. ;)
J C Well... That shouldn't come as a surprise looking at the numbers. There are 1455 super famicom games, roughly 750 US titles, and less than 400 European ones. Terranigma though... By virtue of being a Europe exclusive has become a forgotten gem. Arguably better than the more famous US exclusives. I think it more interesting overall that Europe got several Anime games (dragonball Z and Sailor moon), while the US seemingly got none at all... Hints at something about the rise of Anime in the west I suppose.
the usa alone is roughly the same size as the entire european continent. the percentage of americans who have travelled outside the usa is roughly equivalent to the percentage of europeans who have travelled outside europe.
Right, and for the rest of us in America who have not traveled outside the country it's mainly because getting a passport can be a pain in the ass, it's freaking expensive as all hell too fly overseas unless you have a really good job, your job pays for it, you are in the military, or work for the government who pays for it, dealing with TSA is a nightmare, a lot of Americans just don't see the need when you already do so many great things in the US itself, and for a lot of Americans such as myself don't feel safe traveling outside of the country right now with so many things going on politically in the world.
I would have to disagree depending on where you live in the US, I live in a small South Eastern town, and I could literally forget to lock my house when going to work, and have actually done so, and not be worried about anyone breaking into my home, but someplace like Chicago, or LA where you could not do that does not represent 90% America which is mostly made up of smaller more rural towns, and mid sized cities with overall fairly friendly helpful people, and more so here in the southern states, where it's just common place to do simple things like hold a door open for someone, or say thank you, and the dumbassed riots you might see on TV again do not represent 90% of American life, and never will at least hopefully lol!
I'm afraid that is untrue. The World Tourism Organization tracks well...tourists. For outbound tourism ie leaving your home continent, Europeans make up over 50 percent of these travelers. Those from the Americas just over 16%. In no way are these numbers close. These figures were tallied from 2011 to 2015 mind you.
+Stringer Bell first, you're talking out of your ass. the world tourism organization does not have statistics on "leaving your home continent". second, not all travellers are tourists. third, based on the standard i specified, americans would not need to be "leaving [their] home continent". based on size, an american leaving the united states is equivalent to a european leaving europe.
I owned a copy of Illusion of Gaia, and when I found out it was part of a loosely connected series by Enix I downloaded ROMs of Soul Blazer and Terranigma. While playing through the latter I came to the conclusion that either the devs are Enix or the translators for the English(UK) version were fans of the comedy group Firesign Theatre. In one of their skits it's mentioned that, "if it wasn't for dumb guys and girlfriends there wouldn't be telephones." And in the game you help Bell develop the telephone because he laments how slow communication by mail is, even after learning that his girlfriend had dumped him after cheating on him.
Interesting. I can see a lot of similarities between "Humans" and "The Lost Vikings". And man… the fact that Asterix & Obelix weren't available in the US, but the damn Smurfs… really makes no sense at all. Both are very big european comic franchises and popular all around the world.
It makes plenty of sense. The Smurfs were popular because of the Hanna-Barbera cartoon, whereas the majority of Americans have never even heard of Asterix.
There are also two European Asterix games one SNES: The first one is called Asterix and the second one is called Asterix and Obelix. Both are decent and cheap cartridges to collect.
Also congratulations sir!, it seems my little instigator like 'this is not a documentary' controversy has seen your subs list almost double in a few months lol and I presume you are back in your home which must be nice, an Englishman's home is his castle...well mine is.
What a sublime channel this is lm so glad l came across it.l've watched over 30 vids of yours over the last few days and have now subbed. Kim Justice had the crown for best British TH-camr but you sir have dethroned her with your cracking sense of humour.Well done you from a fellow English retro gamer. Terranigma is a brilliant game l beat it last year on my mates soft modded Xbox,l can't believe it was never released on the Wii s VC,the Quartet Trilogy needs to be brought to modern consoles but don't tinker with them in terms of visuals,original design, just optimise them and leave it at that!
I can't help but think of all the games Europe has to miss out on, probably because the developer was too lazy to translate into a few European languages. If only they had simply released games like Chrono Trigger in the UK and ignore the non-english speaking countries.
The SNES was when all that translating started in gaming and it was mostly Nintendo doing that, and rarely was it well translated. For example i did play the US and Ger Version of Secret of Mana back then and the German Version has horrible translation changes to the characters... for example they tried to bring humor in and made the sound "holerö" appear frequently (urgs) and i think some persons gender was switched (Hagen/Dyluck? Might be that char was only a women in the Jap Version). Also in Lufia (2) the Char Artea (Elf) was originaly a guy but made a gender swap in Europe. Regardless, they could have easily just released some of these games in English anyway (not to mention that FF3/6 already had some European translations for example).
edit: nintendo-online.de/forum/showthread.php?65283-Claude-M-Moyse There you go, the Links Awakening Picture also shows the joke "Never without a Rubber". That should have been Claude M. Moyse who also prepared a translation for Zelda: Links aAwakening and is said to have translated FF3/6. Dunno if he can speak Japanese but i am rather sure he translated from English and he clearly did put in some puns and jokes often well done but not always. In Links Awakening there is a joke text you could get from a green slime about being a rubber or something along those lines (how did nintendo ever release that? XD). But stuff like the holerö was just horrible and made the game so much worse to me as a child who was not that fluent yet in english (i think i was like 10 and didn't even have english in school back then?).
It's been while but I remember Artea to be a guy in the Dutch version of Lufia. That's the only SNES game to have been translated into Dutch which is an oddity; we just play those games in English.
tunainoil That's not a big deal in the 90 their where a few english Anime in America that didn't use any of the Japanese script Samurai Pizza cats being one of them
Very well compiled list, All the games on it I feel was worth a good shout. I however didn't realise our cousins across the pond didn't get a few of these games though. I mean they didn't get Theme Park or Parodius? what's going on. Great video bud.
I know right, "the Firemen" is the perfect illustration of how Human Entertainment used to be one of the most innovative developing company of the 16 bits era. They explored unusual concepts which sadly made for a gameplay sometimes unpolished, as seen in "Septentrion", a game where you gotta strive to flee a sinking ships along with the survivors you find in your way. The only game I can think of that was produced in Japan, didn't see North America and got released in France is the 1993 Sailor Moon Beat them up game. It was meh. I would have prefered to see a release of the 1995 RPG instead. Thankfully, it's patched and playable in English nowadays =)
As an American, I'm only salty of Super Bomberman 3-5 and Terranigma (yeah that's a big one) not reaching the shores of Noth America. The rest I wouldn't be too interested in anyway.
IDK, Parodious is the best shmup series I've ever played TBH. I'm pretty salty it never got a North American release. SBM4-5 didn't come to Europe either BTW.
I can't be too disappointed by the list as many of those games were released in the US on other platforms. I have a feeling games such as Bomberman and Terranigma never got released here was simply due to them being such late releases. In 1995 in NA, all attention was shifted over to the new generation of consoles. At that point in time our markets differed in that here in North America, we were fast to adopt new platforms and abandon the old, where as in Europe, legacy platforms seemed to have longer legs at that point in time.
The real reason we didn't get those games are because we here at the us had more exclusives they didn't want you guys to feel left out so they tossed you guys a few bones
The comment about American liking to bomb stuff made me literally laugh out loud, although I just drank a pint. Just stumbled around your channel. I enjoy the content ,keep it up mate ,cheers.
All of the Infogrames games based on comics were PAL-exclusive: Asterix, Asterix & Obelix, Smurfs 1 & 2, Spirou, Tintin in Tibet, Tintin Prisoners of the Sun and Lucky Luke.
"In more cultured regions" Do you mean "outside America" or "outside California"? Because California isn't the whole America, and to be fair the worst of America came indeed from California. And even regular californian citizens who lived outside the awful big cities would think less of the marketing gurus, who were nothing less than morons with no touch with ordinary people, and thus the formers didn't know them and their preferences. London doesn't joke either, it's more or less at the same cultural level of californian big cities.
60 fps and more rpgs... I was very happy as an American SNES gamer. Only game I realized later that I had missed was Terranigma. And thanks to emulation that wrong has been remedied. All the other games you mentioned were either shit or available on PC anyway. Nice vid tho, it's always nice to see the brits trying to find the bright side in how they usually get shafted by videogame companies.
The original Twinbee was released on the NES in the US under the name "Stinger." I guess it didn't sell well (at least not compared to Konami's other games like Gradius) which is why the other games in the series didn't come stateside.
I had a Super Magicom SNES copier in 1992 and access to some nice World HQ FTP's.. I played the best games the world had to offer. :) Just had to keep those PALFIX IPS patches handy.
2:24 While more of an exception, I do much prefer Tom Dubois' North American artwork on Legend of the Mystical Ninja over the Super Famicom (Ganbare Goemon) counterpart. He also did some amazing work on other SNES games such as Contra III, TMNT IV: Turtles in Time, Sunset Riders, to name a few.
I think the SNES cover's weird surreal style fits the zany style of the game and I like how many of the game's elements are shown in the cover. Some of them are really subtle. Tom did a great job on the art IMO. www.videogameobsession.com/videogame/snes/SNES-LegendOfTheMysticalNinja-vgo.jpg I made this when someone claimed the cover had nothing to do with the game. www.videogameobsession.com/videogame/snes/zzSNES-LegendOfTheMysticalNinjaBoxReferrences-vgo.png
Terrinigma may have not made it here in North America, but we did however receive Chrono Trigger. Which the U.K. sadly didn't receive. They were losses, but I think I'd rather have Chrono Trigger if we had to choose between the 2 games.
true. chrono trigger is way more epic than terranigma. even though i'm not saying terranigma didn't entertain /excite me. but it doesn't have many memorable moments. what do i remember of it... ( played both games like 20 years ago ) resurrecting the plants, birds and animals was fun... then there was a zombie town and a lil (chinese?) girl that... somehow "created" it? and then the russian(?) guy with green hair who build an atomic bomb? XD okay there are a few scenes/moments i do remember, clearly.. but chrono trigger had the more memorable characters. i still know all heir names, gosh Ayla the cave lady? very sexy and a powerhouse XD and then Lavos as an endboss? what a fight to remember! then there was a racing game through the junkyard in the future, the awesome floating continent , that soundtrack...
Learn French and read it. Maybe also avoid the volumes from after 24 where it was the artist now designing plots (after the scenario writer's death) and he got more and more senile and... xenophobic, I mean the sort where he had a story about the Japanese being alien cockroaches from planet Nagma bringing the literal end of the world and the protagonists trying to kill them with the help of an alien Mickey Mouse look-alike, and a post-op author note rant where he mades it clear he fucking hates the Japanese, real life ones, and that it's not a mere joke. To the point the publisher got someone else entirely (the inker and colorist for the last few volumes, since he wasn't even doing that anymore) doing the 34th volume. I wish to kick myself retroactively for even buying that trash. Read the first 24 though, they're classics. The others go progressively from not as good to bad to awful, fanfiction wish fullfillent, political pandering to the cause du jour trending in the news, etc. Soured me up from ever trying the reboot with volume 34 and I collected almost all of its volumes in French (among other European comics) from young age. The original French version is full of puns that make half the experience IMO. I read some of the various translations, and they either tried to downplay the jokes at expenses of other countries, translate it directly without the puns, or come up with different puns with varying degrees of success.
Whoa, "Le ciel lui est tombé sur la tête" is an all time low. Even hardcore Asterix fan loathed it. The plotline was contrived, and it was so unfunny because mean spirited... Asterix doesn't only have a lot of french puns but also a lot of pop culture references that foreigners find difficult to relate to. You find them mostly on the albums set in Gaul like "le Tour de Gaule" or "Asterix et le bouclier Arverne". For the albums set in foreign countries, they're easier to understand overall, as they are more about toying with stereotypes to ridicule them =)
We did get a release of Theme Park & Cannon Fodder on the Atari Jaguar here in America. However, I think only 12 people ever even heard them, let alone played them... :P
Actually, we had Theme Park for the Genesis here in America...didn't Psygnosis also make the first 2 Discworld computer/console games? Also the 3DO version of Cannon Fodder was the best IMO, played it?
Of course the ultimate version of Cannon Fodder is on the Amiga via mouse control for a tenner new (£50 for SNES cart new), any Amiga from 7 years before the SNES console even got a EU launch. Chris and John of Sensible Software wrote iconic C64 games too like Parallax and Wizball at the time when Nintendo's 8bit catalogue was severely devoid of innovation or arcade quality soundtracks. Good old brits, we were the best game designers if not always the best pixel artists lol
Actually depends on the game. For example, Super Mario RPG was originally hyped in Germany, but never released in Europe. I'm still so happy I impulse bought Terranigma back then. Still my most favorite SNES JRPG for the music alone. Secret of Mana is awesome as well but it just can't beat Terranigma's atmosphere.
Up where I lived in Scotland the Asterix comics were quite popular when I was a child. Then again, American superhero comics weren't a thing where I lived so it was either that, Tin Tin or Sonic the Comic (or the occasional cool kid who would bring in 2000AD).
It was all about the Beano and Dandy in my childhood. Then again all this is relative to everyone's year of birth too. I personally never remember seeing much of the Asterix. I was born in 1986.
Cannon Fodder was released in NA on the Atari Jaguar and the 3DO. It was amazing! War was never so much fun before, or after. Edit: I do wish it had been released on the SNES, just wanted to say we didn't miss out on it entirely.
Yea… But that was because the Japanese Companies / Studios thought Europeans don't like RPGs and a localization would be a waste of money. How wrong they were…
+KRAFTWERK2K6 It was actually the (comparatively) smaller-companies being heavily reliant of bigger publishers plus the "license-monopolies" (especially the case with "SquareSoft"-games). It's kinda makes one wonder what happened during 1995 since Nintendo was willing to publish or to release a PAL-versions of "Terranigma" and "Secret of Evermore" (and these two titles got their PAL-English-release only 2-4-months apart respectively!"). --- "Sega" back then, for example, pretty much "care-lessed" and even went ahead and translated pretty much all or at least a very large portion of their Europe-PAL-Mega Drive-game instruction-booklets into eight official European-languages (even into Finnish before they were part of European-Union). The games that got this treatment weren't limited to Sega-developed-games (E.G. "Zero Wing" by "Toaplan" and "Probotector" by "Konami" got this eight-language-instruction-booklet-treatment). --- --- ---
I thought it was because RPGs didn't sell well enough in the US, combined with the fact that few third party developers had a direct presence in PAL territories. I agree that the RPGs Nintendo chose to publish (and which they didn't) in PAL territories beggars comprehension.
Bomberman on the snes was huge success (at least according to the magazines) and they would not stop raving about how good it was with the multi-tap, the thing that let you connect 4 controllers to the snes. IIRC it was the success of bomberman that caused teh n64 to have 4 controller ports rather than the standard 2.
I'm American, but I'll say I ain't hating on nothing. Infact I'd rather live in UK!! You got some great retro games!! I'm open to all video games!! But I will say we got Chrono Trigger! That's as far as I'll go.
I heard parodius didn't get a US release due to one the boss thats a bald eagle wearing Stars and Stripes. And the knock on effect would be pop n twinbee not coming out as that was a later game in the same series
Terranigma was the reason I bought my SNES a few years ago, even before I knew that I would be able to buy said game. (Also, yes, I am one of those people who bought a SNES after they could think. But back in the day, I had a Gameboy, so... That's at least something?)
The United States did get some great games. I do understand that some games did not come to the United States because the developers didn't want to take a risk and release it in the states. I am an American I understand that the United States is not the only nation in the world but Great Britain is a small nation compared to the USA. the video game Market in the United States will always be bigger than Great Britain's. Video game companies really do need to understand that they need to take risks and release these games that would have been successful if they have just released it.
Terranigma never published USA because Terranigma published October 20, 1995 in Japan and Enix America Corporation closed in November 1995 . But if it had been published then it would be censored because alcohol and religion. (Europe does not care alcohol and religion games like usa but blood was not acceptable european Snes games.)
If Terranigma wasn't made numero uno on this list best believe there'd be riots in the streets. It is a fucking awesome game. I know this because in 2000 I had the good fortune of finding a boxed copy at a pawn brokers for twenty bucks. Naturally I bought it and played it to completion and it subsequently became one of my most valuable treasures. And then a couple of years ago I looked at what a copy goes for on eBay and while I was delighted to see that my treasure was worth more than ten times what I paid I decided to keep it. A bit like LFC hanging onto Coutinho who they bought for a fraction of what he's worth now.
Hey, nice video! One note though. You seem to be playing on a rubbish emulator, since the Theme Park's graphics are all glitched up! It's a game that's known to cause some glitching problems in various emulators =)
As an american i cant help but wonder where you brits get enough money to travel the world. We barely make enough to make ends meet. Love your vids. Love terranigma. Cheers.
Michael Shane You Can't assume that people has that sorta luxury to get "better" jobs! Not everyone lives in a great economical area where it's possible like you and many other wealthy countries/cities
Well I'm from the hood, and I saved some money from both work and tax returns and was able to travel to many countries. It's not as much as you think, you can travel 2-3 countries at once if you stop multiple times on one travel. Like if you go to Asia, you can visit like Taiwan, Korea and Japan if you have your plane transfer (aka not non-stop) in those countries, and it's actually less expensive that way!
The Firemen is a game I have played for most of my life and is one of the most original games you could find anywhere, it's also balls to the wall hard but in a ridiculously fun way. Terranigma could have been restricted to Europe mostly because of the main theme of the game I feel, America is very touchy over their creationism bullshit. As a European, your number one and two picks are on point, there exists no possible variation on ANY top 10 list when it comes to those two.
I just now started Terranigma fir the first time. I agree that it is the best action RPG on the system. It's the game I was always waiting for but never got.
@Top Hat Gaming Man I'm from the states and that Bomberman joke was spot-on. I actually laughed out loud at work. Subscribed. Cheers!
Love the vid, as always! As a US gamer, I can say I'm happy for you all, but also rather envious that you folks got those Cute 'Em Ups and Terranigma.
Also, I agree with you about traveling; traveling around the world is so much fun and I really do wish more people could do it. I'm thankful I got to see so many different countries and cultures and still wish to see many more.
Cheers! :)
When you showed the shot of Peter Moylneux, I was just expecting to hear Larry Bundy crack a joke at his expense.
Found your channel yesterday, subscribing today, very nice content mate!
4:39 well what can i say? america learned from its parents.
Cannon Fodder was definitely here on DOS though. It was one of my favorite games as a young child.
Top Hat Gaming Man,
I've been following you since 7000 subscribers and this channel has EXPlODED recently!
And you deserve it to grow even faster (although that couldn't realistically happen).
You've done such a good job!!
Your fast upload schedule is outstanding.
Please keep it up
Thank you sir!
Top Hat Gaming Man yum
I owned Theme Park for the SNES, and I don't recall it looking as glitchy as that copy of it looked, although it actually had some censorship compared to the Megadrive version - apparently for some reason the SNES version of Theme Park decided that the toilets that needed to be placed for guests in every other version of the game didn't need to be in the SNES version, which made the strategy of getting your guests all hyped up on caffeine and salting the food to make them want to drink more, even more effective :D
French and German were offered at my California high school also while mandarin and Japanese were not. So ridiculous as we had way more Chinese and Japanese students and folks living with us here
Being taught French and German is very strange choices in the modern world. It would be like teaching children in IT lessons, how to use MS Dos today.
I had IT lectures when I was in university where we were taught an entire programming language in one semester only to be told at the end that it was obsolete and Java was the future so I wouldn't put it past someone to do that :P
Top Hat Gaming Man as an Kraut by myself i think you are right. even we Germans try to put in as much anglisicms than possible in our speech. But...Currywurst still is superior to Fish n' Chips. 😁
To add to this, in America there's no standard language that students are required to learn, and the languages available to learn will vary depending on what school district a child is in. (E.g., I took four years of Japanese in high school, whereas "shipdop dop" didn't have that opportunity.) Almost every school will teach Spanish, though, since there is a high need for Spanish translators due to the large amount of Mexican immigrants who can't be bothered to learn English.
I think that's sweet how he feeds Mr. Nick Nolte at 13:58 like that.
Another entertaining video 😇
sunsbookishgamesx Thank you, young lady.
Cannon Fodder is the stuff of dreams. A truly wonderful game that stands up to this day.
War has never been so much fun!
In fact, we missed none in Europe, that was the time all those specialized video games import shops opened all over. We were getting all the Japan and American exclusives.
The stupidest example of the Americanized box art trend was the SNES game "Ranma ½: Hard Battle". This is a fighting game based on a popular manga / anime series, yet the box art featured ugly, Americanized versions of the characters.
Ya how dare the try to Appeal to Americans when selling the game in America
I think that's not the problem here. It's more like.. you know, the original boxart featured art by the original artist which makes sense since it's a game based on THEIR manga / anime series... so, if you change that, it looks like a cheap bootleg game... ^^; which is kind of an issue...
J Smith because whatever version they've morphed it to sucked? They were all awful...

I just finished watching all your videos. Congrats on 10k almost 11 already! The snes was my favourite home system growing up. Until my parents bought a 486 pc to replace our c128. A great game released in ntsc u/j only was Inido way of the ninja.
An overlay ad for a f2p game but no video ads - if you are being affected by the demonetisation.
I can't imagine trying to play Theme park on a controller - I remember thinking the same of the snes version of sim city as well. Although I never played these games on the snes so I don't, actually, know how well it worked.
Bomberman !! WTF - that was never in america :(. One of the happiest moments of my youth was walking in on my computer studies class to see every single machine running a version of bomberman that i had written and the entire class crowded around the machines playing. The college compstudies department made a rule because of the popularity of my game that we were allowed to play any game for which we had the source code. :)
It basically seems that american console players were denied every kind of strategy game whereas we were denied any kind of strategy-rpg. God damned regional releases.
I find it surprising that you did not grow up with asterix - Asterix and tin-tin were quite preposterously popular in my school.
I owned (and still own) both Sim City and Theme Park on the SNES and they work really well. You just move a cursor of the grid layout (which is there anyway) and open menus with other buttons. I never missed having a mouse playing these games, because they were designed around that control scheme. As a fun fact, there was even a StarCraft 64 game you couldn't play with a mouse. ;)
I had Theme Park on the Saturn and found it difficult to play and the text difficult to read.
North America got better exclusives but ya Terranigma was a great game we missed for sure.
J C Well... That shouldn't come as a surprise looking at the numbers.
There are 1455 super famicom games, roughly 750 US titles, and less than 400 European ones.
Terranigma though... By virtue of being a Europe exclusive has become a forgotten gem.
Arguably better than the more famous US exclusives.
I think it more interesting overall that Europe got several Anime games (dragonball Z and Sailor moon), while the US seemingly got none at all...
Hints at something about the rise of Anime in the west I suppose.
I agree but you should try the others if u haven’t already. Most of these games are very very good tbh.
Not really.
Lol the Super Bomberman 3 comment about America made me go "Ahhhhh.... Come on mate... But you're right." Then I subscribed. Lol
Cheers.
the usa alone is roughly the same size as the entire european continent. the percentage of americans who have travelled outside the usa is roughly equivalent to the percentage of europeans who have travelled outside europe.
Right, and for the rest of us in America who have not traveled outside the country it's mainly because getting a passport can be a pain in the ass, it's freaking expensive as all hell too fly overseas unless you have a really good job, your job pays for it, you are in the military, or work for the government who pays for it, dealing with TSA is a nightmare, a lot of Americans just don't see the need when you already do so many great things in the US itself, and for a lot of Americans such as myself don't feel safe traveling outside of the country right now with so many things going on politically in the world.
Commodorefan64 Hmm but USA is still a lot more unsafe place than most of the Europe!
I would have to disagree depending on where you live in the US, I live in a small South Eastern town, and I could literally forget to lock my house when going to work, and have actually done so, and not be worried about anyone breaking into my home, but someplace like Chicago, or LA where you could not do that does not represent 90% America which is mostly made up of smaller more rural towns, and mid sized cities with overall fairly friendly helpful people, and more so here in the southern states, where it's just common place to do simple things like hold a door open for someone, or say thank you, and the dumbassed riots you might see on TV again do not represent 90% of American life, and never will at least hopefully lol!
I'm afraid that is untrue. The World Tourism Organization tracks well...tourists. For outbound tourism ie leaving your home continent, Europeans make up over 50 percent of these travelers. Those from the Americas just over 16%. In no way are these numbers close. These figures were tallied from 2011 to 2015 mind you.
+Stringer Bell
first, you're talking out of your ass. the world tourism organization does not have statistics on "leaving your home continent". second, not all travellers are tourists. third, based on the standard i specified, americans would not need to be "leaving [their] home continent". based on size, an american leaving the united states is equivalent to a european leaving europe.
I owned a copy of Illusion of Gaia, and when I found out it was part of a loosely connected series by Enix I downloaded ROMs of Soul Blazer and Terranigma. While playing through the latter I came to the conclusion that either the devs are Enix or the translators for the English(UK) version were fans of the comedy group Firesign Theatre. In one of their skits it's mentioned that, "if it wasn't for dumb guys and girlfriends there wouldn't be telephones." And in the game you help Bell develop the telephone because he laments how slow communication by mail is, even after learning that his girlfriend had dumped him after cheating on him.
"Psygnosis, better known for the Wipeout series of games".
What a weird way to spell Shadow of the Beast.
Cannon Fodder's music was even censored in Europe on the SNES. As far as I know only the Atari Jaguar got the proper version on console.
Interesting. I can see a lot of similarities between "Humans" and "The Lost Vikings". And man… the fact that Asterix & Obelix weren't available in the US, but the damn Smurfs… really makes no sense at all. Both are very big european comic franchises and popular all around the world.
It makes plenty of sense. The Smurfs were popular because of the Hanna-Barbera cartoon, whereas the majority of Americans have never even heard of Asterix.
Smurfs is not a Hanna Barbaracartoon it's a comic by Peyo from Spain.
Ruud de Zwart ya but Hanna made a cartoon of it which was more popular then the comic in America
Europe got 2 Tintin games as well. Tintin In Tibet and Prisoners Of The Sun. Neither are very good.
There are also two European Asterix games one SNES: The first one is called Asterix and the second one is called Asterix and Obelix.
Both are decent and cheap cartridges to collect.
Also congratulations sir!, it seems my little instigator like 'this is not a documentary' controversy has seen your subs list almost double in a few months lol and I presume you are back in your home which must be nice, an Englishman's home is his castle...well mine is.
Great video as always!
I can't wait to finish university and get a job, so that I can properly support your channel! XD
"Sit back relax, and balance your bottle of mountain dew on your nes" 😂 I have totally seen people do this
What a sublime channel this is lm so glad l came across it.l've watched over 30 vids of yours over the last few days and have now subbed. Kim Justice had the crown for best British TH-camr but you sir have dethroned her with your cracking sense of humour.Well done you from a fellow English retro gamer.
Terranigma is a brilliant game l beat it last year on my mates soft modded Xbox,l can't believe it was never released on the Wii s VC,the Quartet Trilogy needs to be brought to modern consoles but don't tinker with them in terms of visuals,original design, just optimise them and leave it at that!
You channel is superb. I am you best fan from Brazil !!!
I can't help but think of all the games Europe has to miss out on, probably because the developer was too lazy to translate into a few European languages. If only they had simply released games like Chrono Trigger in the UK and ignore the non-english speaking countries.
The SNES was when all that translating started in gaming and it was mostly Nintendo doing that, and rarely was it well translated.
For example i did play the US and Ger Version of Secret of Mana back then and the German Version has horrible translation changes to the characters... for example they tried to bring humor in and made the sound "holerö" appear frequently (urgs) and i think some persons gender was switched (Hagen/Dyluck? Might be that char was only a women in the Jap Version).
Also in Lufia (2) the Char Artea (Elf) was originaly a guy but made a gender swap in Europe.
Regardless, they could have easily just released some of these games in English anyway (not to mention that FF3/6 already had some European translations for example).
There is a rumour (or a fact even?) that the German version of Secret of Mana was "translated" by someone who didn't speak a word of Japanese.
edit: nintendo-online.de/forum/showthread.php?65283-Claude-M-Moyse
There you go, the Links Awakening Picture also shows the joke "Never without a Rubber".
That should have been Claude M. Moyse who also prepared a translation for Zelda: Links aAwakening and is said to have translated FF3/6. Dunno if he can speak Japanese but i am rather sure he translated from English and he clearly did put in some puns and jokes often well done but not always.
In Links Awakening there is a joke text you could get from a green slime about being a rubber or something along those lines (how did nintendo ever release that? XD).
But stuff like the holerö was just horrible and made the game so much worse to me as a child who was not that fluent yet in english (i think i was like 10 and didn't even have english in school back then?).
It's been while but I remember Artea to be a guy in the Dutch version of Lufia. That's the only SNES game to have been translated into Dutch which is an oddity; we just play those games in English.
tunainoil That's not a big deal in the 90 their where a few english Anime in America that didn't use any of the Japanese script Samurai Pizza cats being one of them
Very well compiled list, All the games on it I feel was worth a good shout. I however didn't realise our cousins across the pond didn't get a few of these games though. I mean they didn't get Theme Park or Parodius? what's going on.
Great video bud.
everytime when i hear asterix and obelix i get bombarded by nostalgia
I know right, "the Firemen" is the perfect illustration of how Human Entertainment used to be one of the most innovative developing company of the 16 bits era. They explored unusual concepts which sadly made for a gameplay sometimes unpolished, as seen in "Septentrion", a game where you gotta strive to flee a sinking ships along with the survivors you find in your way.
The only game I can think of that was produced in Japan, didn't see North America and got released in France is the 1993 Sailor Moon Beat them up game. It was meh. I would have prefered to see a release of the 1995 RPG instead. Thankfully, it's patched and playable in English nowadays =)
Sit back, relax and balance your bottle of mountain dew on your NES. LOL *FOR THE WIN!*
USA had Cannon Fodder on DOS.
Edit: Actually, a lot of these are DOS games that didn't get a USA-SNES port.
great vid as always keep them coming. BTW how was the popcorn. Make you miss Iowa any LOL
Thanks for the popcorn. It was salty, like this comment section!
As an American, I'm only salty of Super Bomberman 3-5 and Terranigma (yeah that's a big one) not reaching the shores of Noth America. The rest I wouldn't be too interested in anyway.
Jayden Dash The Firemen is a ridiculously good game. I urge you to try it.
IDK, Parodious is the best shmup series I've ever played TBH. I'm pretty salty it never got a North American release. SBM4-5 didn't come to Europe either BTW.
You are missing out on the other more interesting games.
Just subbed man your videos are hilarous
I can't be too disappointed by the list as many of those games were released in the US on other platforms. I have a feeling games such as Bomberman and Terranigma never got released here was simply due to them being such late releases. In 1995 in NA, all attention was shifted over to the new generation of consoles. At that point in time our markets differed in that here in North America, we were fast to adopt new platforms and abandon the old, where as in Europe, legacy platforms seemed to have longer legs at that point in time.
Just thought you should know. Theme Park was most definitely released on the Sega Genesis (Mega Drive) in the United States.
The real reason we didn't get those games are because we here at the us had more exclusives they didn't want you guys to feel left out so they tossed you guys a few bones
The comment about American liking to bomb stuff made me literally laugh out loud, although I just drank a pint. Just stumbled around your channel. I enjoy the content ,keep it up mate ,cheers.
I always loved Striker on PAL SNES. . .
Fantastic stuff. And here I thought our only exclusives were FIFA, snooker & darts titles. Didn't realise there was so much only we had access too. 👍🏻
All of the Infogrames games based on comics were PAL-exclusive: Asterix, Asterix & Obelix, Smurfs 1 & 2, Spirou, Tintin in Tibet, Tintin Prisoners of the Sun and Lucky Luke.
"In more cultured regions"
Do you mean "outside America" or "outside California"? Because California isn't the whole America, and to be fair the worst of America came indeed from California. And even regular californian citizens who lived outside the awful big cities would think less of the marketing gurus, who were nothing less than morons with no touch with ordinary people, and thus the formers didn't know them and their preferences. London doesn't joke either, it's more or less at the same cultural level of californian big cities.
calm down Trumptard, tired of winning?
@@salvadorbanuelos6718 I'm not a fun of Trump, Clintontard
Terranigma was not released in the US because Enix America shut down in '95.
This channel is one of these I hate but I can't stop watching. Maybe I love this channel and can't admit it.
60 fps and more rpgs... I was very happy as an American SNES gamer.
Only game I realized later that I had missed was Terranigma. And thanks to emulation that wrong has been remedied.
All the other games you mentioned were either shit or available on PC anyway.
Nice vid tho, it's always nice to see the brits trying to find the bright side in how they usually get shafted by videogame companies.
The original Twinbee was released on the NES in the US under the name "Stinger." I guess it didn't sell well (at least not compared to Konami's other games like Gradius) which is why the other games in the series didn't come stateside.
I had a Super Magicom SNES copier in 1992 and access to some nice World HQ FTP's.. I played the best games the world had to offer. :)
Just had to keep those PALFIX IPS patches handy.
no one cares
And yet you took the time to reply.
videogameobsession Lucky! Wished I'd had those back then especially the Nintendo 64 ones
Never played Terranigma.. Astrix was EPIC. i loved that game when i was a kid! nice vid!
2:24 While more of an exception, I do much prefer Tom Dubois' North American artwork on Legend of the Mystical Ninja over the Super Famicom (Ganbare Goemon) counterpart.
He also did some amazing work on other SNES games such as Contra III, TMNT IV: Turtles in Time, Sunset Riders, to name a few.
videogameobsession could not disagree more on goemon. That was hideous (not as horrific as rockman). Agree on the rest
I guess to each their own.
I have both the SFC and SNES versions and keep the SFC one hidden away. The art looks like it was drawn by a 6 year old. :P
I think the SNES cover's weird surreal style fits the zany style of the game and I like how many of the game's elements are shown in the cover. Some of them are really subtle. Tom did a great job on the art IMO.
www.videogameobsession.com/videogame/snes/SNES-LegendOfTheMysticalNinja-vgo.jpg
I made this when someone claimed the cover had nothing to do with the game.

The Wine game is on point there Top Hat. And no doubt it will be in the comment section too!
Technically you're whining about other people whining. So yeah, the whine is on.
Also, "Whine", not "Wine". Sad that u needed to edit your comment and yet still screwed that one up.
He is drinking wine in the video you dolt. Its a throwaway double entente. And dont confuse schadenfreude with whining. Now kindly jog on.
So proud I own both Firemen and Terranigma :D
Terranigma is simply incredible, finished it couple months back and it was just amazing
Terrinigma may have not made it here in North America, but we did however receive Chrono Trigger. Which the U.K. sadly didn't receive. They were losses, but I think I'd rather have Chrono Trigger if we had to choose between the 2 games.
true. chrono trigger is way more epic than terranigma. even though i'm not saying terranigma didn't entertain /excite me. but it doesn't have many memorable moments. what do i remember of it... ( played both games like 20 years ago )
resurrecting the plants, birds and animals was fun... then there was a zombie town and a lil (chinese?) girl that... somehow "created" it? and then the russian(?) guy with green hair who build an atomic bomb? XD okay there are a few scenes/moments i do remember, clearly..
but chrono trigger had the more memorable characters. i still know all heir names, gosh Ayla the cave lady? very sexy and a powerhouse XD and then Lavos as an endboss? what a fight to remember! then there was a racing game through the junkyard in the future, the awesome floating continent , that soundtrack...
Of course you did. And we all got everything globally with emulation. :)
And vice-versa. I'm still discovering new Japanese games thanks to the hard work of other's creating ENG translation patches for classic games.
Asterix and Tintin were both huge in the UK, sorry but your wrong there.
By the way sir, you should actually give a few Asterix comics a read. For a Frenchie comic series, it has great humour!
The British aren't big on Asterix as they are salty about the "Asterix chez les Bretons" album set in England, I guess! =p
Haha as a Brit I loved that one to be honest!!! Nothing quite like boiled wild boar and warm beer, and I do like a spot of milk with my hot water!
Learn French and read it.
Maybe also avoid the volumes from after 24 where it was the artist now designing plots (after the scenario writer's death) and he got more and more senile and... xenophobic, I mean the sort where he had a story about the Japanese being alien cockroaches from planet Nagma bringing the literal end of the world and the protagonists trying to kill them with the help of an alien Mickey Mouse look-alike, and a post-op author note rant where he mades it clear he fucking hates the Japanese, real life ones, and that it's not a mere joke. To the point the publisher got someone else entirely (the inker and colorist for the last few volumes, since he wasn't even doing that anymore) doing the 34th volume. I wish to kick myself retroactively for even buying that trash.
Read the first 24 though, they're classics. The others go progressively from not as good to bad to awful, fanfiction wish fullfillent, political pandering to the cause du jour trending in the news, etc. Soured me up from ever trying the reboot with volume 34 and I collected almost all of its volumes in French (among other European comics) from young age.
The original French version is full of puns that make half the experience IMO. I read some of the various translations, and they either tried to downplay the jokes at expenses of other countries, translate it directly without the puns, or come up with different puns with varying degrees of success.
Whoa, "Le ciel lui est tombé sur la tête" is an all time low. Even hardcore Asterix fan loathed it. The plotline was contrived, and it was so unfunny because mean spirited...
Asterix doesn't only have a lot of french puns but also a lot of pop culture references that foreigners find difficult to relate to. You find them mostly on the albums set in Gaul like "le Tour de Gaule" or "Asterix et le bouclier Arverne". For the albums set in foreign countries, they're easier to understand overall, as they are more about toying with stereotypes to ridicule them =)
@@nozoto Actually Asterix used to be massive in the UK in the early 90s.
We did get a release of Theme Park & Cannon Fodder on the Atari Jaguar here in America. However, I think only 12 people ever even heard them, let alone played them... :P
and playstation
Indeed, it is interesting to see what games we got that the yanks did not. That's why Larry's series did so well
Actually, we had Theme Park for the Genesis here in America...didn't Psygnosis also make the first 2 Discworld computer/console games? Also the 3DO version of Cannon Fodder was the best IMO, played it?
Terranigma wasn’t released state side due to poor sales of the previous Quintet/Square games (Soulblazer And Illusion of Gaia/Time).
Love your Your channel, but it’s so British that
it colonised my computer!
Of course the ultimate version of Cannon Fodder is on the Amiga via mouse control for a tenner new (£50 for SNES cart new), any Amiga from 7 years before the SNES console even got a EU launch. Chris and John of Sensible Software wrote iconic C64 games too like Parallax and Wizball at the time when Nintendo's 8bit catalogue was severely devoid of innovation or arcade quality soundtracks. Good old brits, we were the best game designers if not always the best pixel artists lol
Who gets all the good stuff from Nintendo in order:
1:Japan
2:Europe
3:U.S.
Hell no.
1. Japan
2. NA
3. Europe
SurfingKyogre Then how come we get the least number of games, especially Special Editions?
Actually depends on the game. For example, Super Mario RPG was originally hyped in Germany, but never released in Europe. I'm still so happy I impulse bought Terranigma back then. Still my most favorite SNES JRPG for the music alone. Secret of Mana is awesome as well but it just can't beat Terranigma's atmosphere.
Objectively incorrect. Japan, then US, then Europe.
Gonna have to agree with the rest. Definitely Japan, us, eu
Up where I lived in Scotland the Asterix comics were quite popular when I was a child. Then again, American superhero comics weren't a thing where I lived so it was either that, Tin Tin or Sonic the Comic (or the occasional cool kid who would bring in 2000AD).
It was all about the Beano and Dandy in my childhood. Then again all this is relative to everyone's year of birth too. I personally never remember seeing much of the Asterix. I was born in 1986.
Wait, Terrinigma was released in the PAL region? Then why do I have to keep bothering with Japanese translation patches for that game?
Thanks for including Asterix & Obelix, great fun. Greta list of games the EU got as well over the US.
Cannon Fodder was released in NA on the Atari Jaguar and the 3DO. It was amazing! War was never so much fun before, or after.
Edit: I do wish it had been released on the SNES, just wanted to say we didn't miss out on it entirely.
tohrazul It was also released for MS DOS. :)
Damn this dude was in his feelings over America 😂, good video though.
I could not find the title for that Pop'n'Twinbee one. Fucking hell. That thing is going on my retropi right now.
Cannon fodder is one of the best games ever.
The main reason most Americans don't travel is that it's incredibly expensive and we don't have other countries to visit in just a few hours drive.
MontyKensicle and from my experience, most Americans think they're in the best country in the world to begin with so why look elsewhere? *Sigh*
Walboro Okay... I never said anything like that.
PAL Masterrace! Because we in Europe weren't "too cool" for other games.
Unfortunately we weren't cool enough for most of the RPGs :(
Yea… But that was because the Japanese Companies / Studios thought Europeans don't like RPGs and a localization would be a waste of money. How wrong they were…
+KRAFTWERK2K6
It was actually the (comparatively) smaller-companies being heavily reliant of bigger publishers plus the "license-monopolies" (especially the case with "SquareSoft"-games).
It's kinda makes one wonder what happened during 1995 since Nintendo was willing to publish or to release a PAL-versions of "Terranigma" and "Secret of Evermore" (and these two titles got their PAL-English-release only 2-4-months apart respectively!").
---
"Sega" back then, for example, pretty much "care-lessed" and even went ahead and translated pretty much all or at least a very large portion of their Europe-PAL-Mega Drive-game instruction-booklets into eight official European-languages (even into Finnish before they were part of European-Union).
The games that got this treatment weren't limited to Sega-developed-games (E.G. "Zero Wing" by "Toaplan" and "Probotector" by "Konami" got this eight-language-instruction-booklet-treatment).

---
I thought it was because RPGs didn't sell well enough in the US, combined with the fact that few third party developers had a direct presence in PAL territories. I agree that the RPGs Nintendo chose to publish (and which they didn't) in PAL territories beggars comprehension.
TheBlackSeraph I know right 😞
Oh dear word, that joke about Americans bombing everywhere was great.
Bomberman on the snes was huge success (at least according to the magazines) and they would not stop raving about how good it was with the multi-tap, the thing that let you connect 4 controllers to the snes. IIRC it was the success of bomberman that caused teh n64 to have 4 controller ports rather than the standard 2.
Agreed, in my mind at the time, Bomberman was every bit as significant as Sonic and Mario.
Hold it! We had a Theme park cartridge for the Sega Genesis growing up. Wasn't that 16 bit?
yeah I love Cannon Fodder! I didn't even know it was PAL-only.
The asterix cartoon was popular in Brazil. And I played quite a lot of the Asterix game in the master system.
Master System Asterix games are the best,all 3 of them
I'm American, but I'll say I ain't hating on nothing. Infact I'd rather live in UK!! You got some great retro games!! I'm open to all video games!! But I will say we got Chrono Trigger! That's as far as I'll go.
Not immediately.
I heard parodius didn't get a US release due to one the boss thats a bald eagle wearing Stars and Stripes. And the knock on effect would be pop n twinbee not coming out as that was a later game in the same series
Terranigma was the reason I bought my SNES a few years ago, even before I knew that I would be able to buy said game.
(Also, yes, I am one of those people who bought a SNES after they could think. But back in the day, I had a Gameboy, so... That's at least something?)
The United States did get some great games. I do understand that some games did not come to the United States because the developers didn't want to take a risk and release it in the states. I am an American I understand that the United States is not the only nation in the world but Great Britain is a small nation compared to the USA. the video game Market in the United States will always be bigger than Great Britain's. Video game companies really do need to understand that they need to take risks and release these games that would have been successful if they have just released it.
Man, i love how this guy just ROAST USA in any given oportunity XD
Terranigma never published USA because Terranigma published October 20, 1995 in Japan and Enix America Corporation closed in November 1995 . But if it had been published then it would be censored because alcohol and religion. (Europe does not care alcohol and religion games like usa but blood was not acceptable european Snes games.)
Although you got terranigma, the rest is super weak.
Cannon fodder sounds right up my alley! I'll have to get a copy
Might wanna look into other versions before grabbing a SNES copy, might be alot better on the MegaDrive like Sensible Soccer was.
I should imagine the Amiga version is probably the best, since the other versions are ports of that game and you can use a mouse.
If Terranigma wasn't made numero uno on this list best believe there'd be riots in the streets. It is a fucking awesome game. I know this because in 2000 I had the good fortune of finding a boxed copy at a pawn brokers for twenty bucks. Naturally I bought it and played it to completion and it subsequently became one of my most valuable treasures. And then a couple of years ago I looked at what a copy goes for on eBay and while I was delighted to see that my treasure was worth more than ten times what I paid I decided to keep it. A bit like LFC hanging onto Coutinho who they bought for a fraction of what he's worth now.
you mentioned the humans and Psynosis but *not* Lemmings?
Terranigma is definitely my second favorite game on the entire system (With Trials of Mana being my #1 favorite)
Hey, nice video! One note though. You seem to be playing on a rubbish emulator, since the Theme Park's graphics are all glitched up! It's a game that's known to cause some glitching problems in various emulators =)
Everytime I hear about Psychosis I think about Destruction Derby! 🤘🤘🤘 Destruction Derby 2 especially! One of the best games ever made! 😁😁
As an american i cant help but wonder where you brits get enough money to travel the world. We barely make enough to make ends meet. Love your vids. Love terranigma. Cheers.
Get a better job then. I have a fine job and have traveled quite a bit..
Michael Shane You Can't assume that people has that sorta luxury to get "better" jobs! Not everyone lives in a great economical area where it's possible like you and many other wealthy countries/cities
Well I'm from the hood, and I saved some money from both work and tax returns and was able to travel to many countries. It's not as much as you think, you can travel 2-3 countries at once if you stop multiple times on one travel. Like if you go to Asia, you can visit like Taiwan, Korea and Japan if you have your plane transfer (aka not non-stop) in those countries, and it's actually less expensive that way!
You are probably the best youtuber out there in my opinion. Where do you get your inspiration?
Theme park was released on the DS here in North America
14:24 Amazing pour!!!
Hey Top Hat Gaming Man , did Europe get Secret of Mana 2 or did Europe get stiffed like us in the states.
Seiken Densetsu 3 stayed in Japan. Terranigma is the only SNES RPG that I know of that got a PAL release but not a US release.
The Firemen is a game I have played for most of my life and is one of the most original games you could find anywhere, it's also balls to the wall hard but in a ridiculously fun way. Terranigma could have been restricted to Europe mostly because of the main theme of the game I feel, America is very touchy over their creationism bullshit. As a European, your number one and two picks are on point, there exists no possible variation on ANY top 10 list when it comes to those two.
Do a video on game arcades in the uk i,m fed up of not having a 90,s style arcade about
I just now started Terranigma fir the first time. I agree that it is the best action RPG on the system. It's the game I was always waiting for but never got.
America might be a cestpool, but atleast were not allergic to toothpaste
Hah, America! We received games that you DIDN'T. HA!
good old terranigma
