We need that Jap one, 😉
Final Fight would have been one of the best games ever made if they had just made it two player.
Facts!
That's when I just go to the beat em game collection I have on my Switch, and do some 2 player Final Fight.
@@heidibenner1577 I mean, there are a ton of great two player beat em ups on SNES. But Final Fight was so early on in the life of SNES. Im a retro gaming purist. I only play original physical carts.
I never really had friends to play so the game being a 1 player game doesn't bother me....the fact that is missing a level does
Agreed
That Capcom title music gets me really nostalgic
I always immediately start to hear the street fighter intro in my head
Right...i didn't even own an SNES(had a Genesis) and I still get the nostalgia vibes when I hear the SNES version of it from memories of playing the SNES at friends' houses.
Just made it my text tone
@@AltimaNEO megaman X for me
You are not the only one, Mega Man X is an S tier for sure. x2 S and X3 A.
I never get tired of these vids.
Demon's Crest is a freakin' work of art. Easily some of the most beautiful art direction of the entire 16-bit era. One of those rare gems that are stupid expensive when you find a copy nowadays that is actually worth the price.
No video game is worth that much money. Only idiots pay that much money for a piece of plastic.
I Got mine for 100 dollars and it is well spent money for so many chills from the boss fights. I beat the game multiple times and just 2 months ago I found out there is a true ending you input the password you get all the power ups and go fight the true final Boss I haven't beat him yet he is hard even with all the health and potions holy moly but coming Halloween I'm all in to beat it finally
With Final Fight at launch, I felt I had the arcade at home. It was BEAST!
Completely agree
It was one of those showstoppers at (or was it around?) the launch of the SNES that made everyone's jaw drop along with Super Mario World.
I mean... except it was single player...and guy was missing...
Magical Quest starring Mickey Mouse is basically Disney Megaman. Top notch. But to correct you, Magical quest 1 had suits as well. Fireman, Mountain Climber, Mage/Sultan.
Yeah, that made me confused. I was like “wait, which one did I even rent???”
That 90s capcom logo jingle makes me so nostalgic. Single handedly the most iconic opening for any company ever even now. Maybe that’s just me though
You said UN Squadron didn't get a sequel. It didn't for the SNES, but there is one for the arcades in case you didn't know. It's called Carrier Air Wing.
Yup! Carrier Air Wing or U.S. Navy depending on region!
It's not like a sequel-sequel, since the first is based on Area 88, but, yeah, it basically is the successor game. If you like Un Squadron (which I do!), then Carrier Airwing is right up anyones alley, It's too bad it never hit SNES.
And it would’ve been better if they kept the two player coop
I love your avatar. CV3 is my favourite game. And Sypha is my favourite character
@@questionblock8949 :D
King of Dragons is a nostalgic and personal favorite of mine! Game will never leave my collection!
Capcom had so many great games on the NES, and they definitely kept it rolling on the SNES. Mega Man is probably my favorite series of all time.
I collected them all. 1 thru X6 (except X3) and sold them all as a complete set for like $100 when I was poor and in college. Worst decision of my life. (and then I failed out of college too lol)
@@evenoddprime
Bruh, my heart aches for you! Because I bought a CIB copy of X3 over 2 decades ago and it’s now worth a pretty penny!!
You forgot Super Buster Bros! That being said, i "very" much liked your Capcom ranking for SNES! On a side note, I really wished that Capcom would have ported a few more arcade classics to the SNES back in the day. They include, Strider, Forgotten Worlds, and Super Puzzle Fighter II: Turbo. It would also been great to see Buster Bros. / Super Buster Bros. and Super Puzzle fighter II: Turbo ported to the Sega Genesis as well. At least the NEC Turbo Duo did a nice job on Buster Bros. w/ a nice soundtrack too.
Eye of the Beholder deserves a higher ranking. It is a very good game though the U.I. takes some getting used to. If you like that style of game don't be afraid to give it a shot.
I've watched enough John Riggs videos to know its not his bag of tea, but it might be yours.
Much love to you Mr Riggs from Tacoma.
Agree with you. One of my favorite games. I wish they had ported part 2 as well. I like the music they added to the SNES port.
Yes, it's a great port!
LET YOUR MEGA MAN X FLAG FLY!!! That is one of my favorite SNES games ever along with Final Fantasy III.
We did get the Japan-only Mickey & Donald game on GBA here in the west, where it was called "Disney's Magical Quest 3 Starring Mickey & Donald", when Capcom was porting SNES games to the GBA in the early 2000's.
Same goes for Mega Man & Bass, as it also was a Japan-only SNES game that got a GBA port in the west, though it is very difficult to play due to lack of screen, so you have to deal with a ton of off-screen enemies.
Also, Fun Fact: Mega Man & Bass on the SNES, or as it is known in Japan as RockMan & Forte on the Super Famicom, was released in 1998, two years after Mega Man 8 on PS1, and also takes place after 8.
EDIT: I did notice you forgot two Capcom published games, by the way, being Super Buster Bros and Wizardry V: Heart of the Maelstrom.
I haven't seen a new RANKED SNES games video in a long time.
Thank you, Riggs. Your RANKED marathon compilations are my go-to videos to be entertained and fall asleep to. 😊
Maaan, there's so much good stuff here. The Final Fights, King of Dragons, Knights of The Round, Mega Man X, Demon's Crest, Magic Sword, just to name a few. These are my kinds of games.
You need to get farther into Mutant Apocalypse. The intro stages are unique to each character and then the game gets more interesting.
Lot of replay value like trying to beat Apocalypses stage with each character. Sure, some stages are short but it’s a solid game and a lot of fun to speed run
Eye of the Beholder, played on a PC, with a mouse and keyboard, was really darn good for its time! The SNES port suffered from the game being designed around PC controls.
edit - Final Fight! Where else can you play as ripped Freddy Mercury?
Street Fighter Alpha 2 was published by Capcom in North America and Japan. It was Published by Nintendo in Europe.
Final Fight was a bad super NES port. No Guy, no two player mode, no factory level, censorship, no cut scenes. Just a very bad port all around. I had it as a kid and played it, but the arcade version is so much better.
Breath of Fire II is one of the best games in the entire series and never a "B".
Mega Man Dodgeball! You might've just pitched a potential hit.
I'd take a Mario Dodgeball, too. We don't need another mario tennis or Mario golf...
Mega Man S.. I mean Mega Man X. You are not the only one Riggs!
S for Scellence
Mega Man S is cheaper, but can't do raytracing or 4K playback.
I’m still waiting on MMX Corrupted! I will be so satisfied and happy if that ever comes out.
@@Steelosick
Wow, Mega Man X Corrupted is so huge amongst the fan base that it gets mentioned in a comments section more than I can count!!
I dont know if I ever told you? In my humble opinion Capcom is the best 🎉
Final Fight was an awesome game on the SNES. It gets a lot of hate, but I personally give it an A+ or even an S. Not perfect, but still pretty darn good. And the soundtrack is one of the best on the system. The sequels don't compare to it.
Love the channel,Mr Riggs, just wanted to point out that in Canada at least, Bonkers was on daily(weekdays) in the Disney Afternoon block for about 2-3 years there. So not just Saturday mornings here ,anyways. The more you know. Keep up the great work
Capcom’s Aladdin has such a great flow to it. It’s smooth and rhythmic, and you can really get into a groove when you play. Not only is it a surprisingly unique take on the platforming genre, but it’s… FUN to play. The genesis game, as much as I really want to like it, just feels so much slower and methodical. It’s very stop and go and just feels like a chore to get through. Beautiful as it is, I just don’t find it very enjoyable. The only argument I ever hear in its favor is that “IT HAS A SWORD!”, which sounds like a parody of a real argument in terms of gameplay.
That said I do want to like the genesis Aladdin (I did spend money on it), any pointers would be appreciated.
I can’t give you any pointers, but I can say that I totally relate to what you’re saying. I think the Sega version is much harder, and I still have only got a few levels into it. Everything you just said is spot-on.
Most movie-based games in the 90's were mediocre, at best, and have aged like milk. SNES Aladdin is among the few gems in this category. The visuals, the music, smooth controls. I think the challenge is just right, too. Not too hard, although casual gamers may run into some obstacles in the later levels... but if it were too easy no one would play it... lol
It’s funny, usually when I watch ‘video-game related content’ on YT, I tend to go for things that are more like in-depth analysis, breaking things down, pros and cons, story (where applicable) and so forth. Not sure if it’s just bc you were covering so many games, but I really dug the laid-back, ‘quickly tell you everything important you need to know/rank/move on’ style of this, sets you apart a bit. Keep it up!
I love these ranking videos😎
Love Mega Man 7, one of my favorite Super NES games by Capcom. Love that you gave it an A.
Pretty much agree with most except for Breath of Fire 1 and 2. These 2 games do not get enough attention for people who enjoy JRPGS especially BoF2, they are always overshadowed by others like Final Fantasy games which i also love lol. I know everyones taste is different but man that series did a number on me as a kid and as an adult, perhaps people aren't seeing what diehard fans of the series are seeing. They arent perfect because some in the series should be longer and feels like it ends suddenly but they belong in S tier with the Mega Man X games in my books :)
I agree. I prefer BoF 1 and 2 over any FF game on the SNES.
Now that's a great rank... I dare say that Demon's Crest is one of the best games ever developed/published by CAPCOM.
Hells yeah John! Been waiting for more of your videos like this. Keep up the great work big homie
Been a LONG time. I'm doing Konami next.
Man Riggs, I can't believe you didn't finish BOF II.. On of the most amazing endings of all!! BOF 1 AND II were to me the best RPG of all time, yes even over FF. (I love those too). I loved Secret of Evermore, Mana, Illusion of Gaia, and Chrono Trigger is probably right beside BOF, Earthbound, and even Actraiser. Man... Such great times. 🥹 The grinding-est game on the snes was Lufia I and II and 7th Saga. Wow, we were SO lucky.
such a grind. I need easy mode. Give me that Breath of Fire: Mystic Quest.
You should have finished Breath of Fire II, becaue unlike all the other Breath of Fire games in the series, it was absolutely worth it, one of the best Final Boss Fights and endings in an JRPG ever. And honestely its the best game in the series. You downrated a very good game and timless classic.
Its the hardest, too, but all RPG games are easy by default, so it does not matter. You can prepare everything for turn based combat by just bringing plenty of heals and potions. Its not Battletoads.
Another quality video, Mr. Riggs. Immediately brought up memories of play sessions on my families old console TV (you know the kind I am talking about, ones that seemed to be carved directly out of a petrified redwood tree, and weighed about 15 tons). My thumb even had a ghost twinge from the though of relentlessly attempting Zangief's spinning piledriver, over and over again, on the SNES D-Pad.
Knights of the Round is my favorite Beat 'em up on the SNES.
As for Aladdin like you said both great games but I'm on Team SNES with it. Team Genesis all day with X-Men and X-Men 2: Clone Wars.
Yes! New Riggs Video!
"The box art alone made we want to play this game" that was how we ranked games in the 90s at the local video store.
Your ranking videos were a bright light during a dark time a few years ago John. Thank you so much!! Always good to see you, and yes, I am subscribed 😅 Look forward to your future ranking videos.🙂
I dont know what was the issue that made Capcom not make Final Fight a two player game, I love the snes music better than the arcade though. Un Squadron has a sequel that only came out in the arcade. Mega Man X is one of my favorite games of all time.
I only beat Aladdin on SNES because I always got lost in the massive, maze-like levels of the Genesis game.
Yeah, in my opinion, the SNES Aladdin is the better version. That might be nostalgia talking too a little. But kudos to the publishers back in those days for making two different and awesome games of the same name in many cases on different systems
the genesis version is waaaay better
They couldn't be more different games. Super NES Aladdin feels so much like a Capcom game, while Aladdin on Genesis is Earthworm Jim with middle eastern spices.
Capcom could do no wrong on the SNES. They just kept releasing greatness. I would rank Saturday Night Slam Masters as an A or S tier. I loved playing that game.
So you didn't mention a game I bought back in the day. Super Buster Bros. I got it on sale for $5 and it was one of the games that takes hundreds of hours to beat all of the stages. So while not the funniest game, it had huge value (for $5).
Great S Tier picks. I've been spreading the word of how perfect Demon's Crest is for years when I get the chance. It doesn't get the love it deserves.
15:32 X2 & X3 has improved graphics having CX4 chip , new X moves and eXcellent SNES music achieving new ways to experience gameplay, eXcellent controls, new security features / anti-bootleging "back-up" copy prevention to floppy discs; anyone can enjoy it, obviously cannot be below A tier.
18:24 SSF2 4 new characters with unique moves, best version of this game on any platform of its generation, better sounds than Genesis for sure cannot be below A. Giving these SNES games an S tier is justified. CAPCOM is the best 💯
SSF2 technically had a better version on the 3DO. It was the turbo version with Akuma and supers. Though most ppl didn't have a 3DO and it didn't come with 6 button controls by default AFAIK.
@@nycxtile its better alright, with all the bells and whistles, however it is TURBO or X version, it is similar not the same, if SSF2 is a shiba inu SSF2 X is akita inu bothe are dogs. Therefore the SNES / SFC version is the superior product of its kind.
@@SilhSe I know the version differences. However, that version is technically better with improved gameplay and and the addition of the super bar.
Capcom absolutely killed it on SNES and I agreed with your rankings for the most part. Thumbs up.
I loved Breath of Fire II, but got stuck when I was forced to use a party member I didn't level up pretty far into it and quit lol
‘It’s like they tried to do it from memory’ great line
I still *very* much prefer the first three Mega Man games to anything that came after, including the X series, but yeah, they are definitely all S tier, and definitely better than Mega Man 7.
“You don’t need to be a fan of the show but you may be confused why you are a cat cop.”
I miss the old Capcom intro music from around the mid 90s
Cookie Monster voice: "B is for Bonkers, is good enough for me."
I too give the Mega Man X series on SNES an S ranking!
I think I would even give Mega Man 7 an S Rank! The initial four robot master screen threw me off at first but the more times I play this game the more I adore it! Excellent graphics and a really really excellent soundtrack!!
It also featured to me the hardest final bout with Dr Wily!
Yeah for me personally I think MM 7 is also S tier.
You are absolutely not the only one who would put MMX is the "S" category.
Eye of the Beholder is a superb game regardless of using the controller.
Games like EOB and Dungeon Master were much more suited to the 16 bit home computers i.e. the Atari ST and Amiga.
I like this series on publishers. Always quality work!
UN Squadron was awesome, loved every minute of it, more please capcom!
CAPtain COMmando. GET IT?????
YES!
Finally, a video game TH-camr with the SACK to proclaim that Mega Man X is a "S-Tier" game.
It's pretty much overrated across the board
Breath of Fire 2 really has some long dungeons you can get lost in and has too many random encounters. I'm surprised people don't call the game out for it's worse moments, we all overlook it because of the awesome sprite work, music & story.
I played Demon's Crest on Switch's online service and it is simply AMAZING, it kinda became my favorite Capcom SNES game
Congrats! I don't think I have ever seen anyone on TH-cam who liked Breath of Fire 1 more than 2.
I think you play as Captain Commando in Section Z...forgot where I heard that though.
Yeah you need a keyboard and a mouse for games like Eye of the Beholder. Then they're some of the best games I have ever played.
Dungeon Master is still the daddy of that genre. Still my favourite game of all time.
Mega man X is without a doubt an S agreed
Great circus mystery is S tear for sure due to the playability simple charming and fun to pick up and run through
Awesome nostalgia in this one!! Thanks for sharing.
Forward forward attack on knights of the round to do a power hit that sometimes makes enemies drop loot. My brother and I played that one so many times.
great topic for a video man!
I liked Megaman Soccer a lot when I was a kid and still pick it up from time to time. Couldn't help but notice you didn't mention power shots/super shots- each character has a unique power shot with different animations and effects. You can only do 2 power shots per half with the default settings, but I loved trying out each character to see their power shot. Added a lot of fun and replay value. Thanks for another great video
Eye of the Beholder was meant for computer; much like Wizardry 5 and 6 and Might and Magic 2 and 3, they imply weren't designed for a console's control scheme. They're designed around having a keyboard, if not Keyboard and mouse.
All are classic CRPGs, even if Might and Magic 2, and Wizardry 5 and 6 are a bit harder to get into these days (especially Wizardry, which still didn't have graphics tiles until Wizardry 7). I can recommend them though, and most aren't hard to get these days, and they'll run on a toaster, much less a cheap micro PC or laptop. They just didn't work well on SNES, due to needing the UI completely redesigned around the controller (and not the half-assed job they did do).
Mega Man 7 always felt kinda slow and clunky; not as smooth as the majority of the NES titles. Still very fun, very good game. But I think the large sprite kinda hurt it's feel.
Wizardry worked great on NES
@@neoclassic09 It was better than Might and Magic 2 and 3 on the Genesis and SNES but it was still clunky compared to the DOS version using a keyboard.
I 100% agree that the Capcom games released on SNES were (for the most part) all amazing.
Breath of Fire I and II are great. We do need a Breath of Fire collection.
Aladdin on the SNES ... I remember not being able to get far as a kid and getting angry. 🤣
Final Fight and Final Fight II are great too. I never played Final Fight III.
Mega Man 7 is good but I preferred the Mega Man X trilogy on the SNES.
I never liked Mega Man Soccer.
Street Fighter II is a legend. Street Fighter II Turbo & Super Street Fighter II are godly.
Street Fighter Alpha 1 & 2 on the SNES were good but it was plagued by load times & animation frame issues.
UN Squadron is a legend.
Bonkers wasn't a Saturday morning cartoon, it was a after school special.
Wizardry V Heart of the Maelstrom published by Capcom, the last truly original broken Wizardry game
aww, I missed it. But it's also one I never played.
Out of the SNES CAPCOM Games my favorite is Demon's Crest
. Why that game? you might ask. Well it's a childhood favorite of mine and it was my second snes when I got my snes, plus it was the game that I enjoy the most and still proudly own it to this day. Now don't get wrong, there are other capcom games thay I love absolute and enjoy such as Super Street Fighter 2,Super Ghouls'Ghost, U.N Squadrom aka Area 88,Mega Man X and X men mutant apocalypse, but Demon's Crest was the game that I felt in love at first sight because of it's dark medieval gothic look not to mention the medieval gothic music and it's gameplay which is a mix of Mega Man X with a bit of Ninja Gaiden and Bataman which reminds me of Street Fighter 2010 The Final Fight on the NES and Just like street Fighter 2010, Demon's Crest is an awesome, unique and underated game and mind you demon's crest is the last game of the spin off series gargoyle quest starring Red Arremer aka Fire Brand.
Bonkers was exclusive to Disney Afternoon. Apparently it was overshadowed by Animaniacs, which aired opposite on Fox.
I just looked it up. Ristar in Japanese is リスター which is pronounced like “restart” without the last “t.”
I remember the Mickey Mouse game was on the cover of one of the gaming mags back in the 90s. Probably Nintendo Power. But I used to walk down to the post office to check the mail when it was time for my magazines to show up. Then my friend and I would look for codes and go play! Gaming was way different back then. I still have yet to play that Mickey game. Maybe I should try it out!?
John, there are so many Japanese Disney games, I hope you do a video on them some day, love your laid back style!
I’m big into Capcom right now. I’m currently playing, Bionic commando on the 360, Dark Void on the 360 and Dead Rising 4 on Xbox One.
Breath of Fire 2 was far and away my favourite game as a kid, hands down.
You've teased it for far too long now. I finally had to pull the trigger. And I must say, I can not wait to read this book about cereal!
Just placed my order! You can even sign it if you want! (Please do)
Love your stuff Riggs! Keep it coming
The Bonkers cartoon deserves a Z for a grade. By the way, that atrocity- er, show aired on weekday afternoons. It was Raw Toonage, the show that introduced Bonkers, that was on Saturday mornings!
Megaman X has tighter controls than 7, and the sprite size in 7 was too big, which made it feel a bit off, where as X series nailed the feel of original series.
There is another GnG game with Ghosts n Goblins in the title: Ghosts n Goblins Resurrection. And if you haven’t played that one, you really should - it’s excellent.
I remember renting UN Squadron and enjoying every minute
Yes me too!!!!!! One of my all time faves.
Nostalgia overload 😭
I still remember talking to the manager at my local Babbage’s about the Aladdin games (he knew me by name because I was in there so much). I had rented the Genesis game due to the hype, but I honestly didn’t like it much (great graphics but gameplay and hit detection were iffy IMO), and he said the SNES game was better. So I got it and never regretted it, it is much better (again, IMHO).
Also, I love me some beat em ups, but I never really got into Final Fight. 2 & 3 are waaaay better.
The Great Circus Mystery also have 2 player co-op, unlike The Magical Quest (that one you can only take turns in 2-player mode).
Have a great time watching this.early capcom games suffer from programmers inexperience with the SNES hardware which result in slowdown and omission of 2 players mode. Title like UN squadron, final fight and magic sword are victims
When you gave UN Squadron an S I got out of my chair and applauded.
Great Vid! Brought back some memories! Thanks!
Final Fight Guy is super expensive! I know it's not a SNES game, but one of my favorite one player street fighting games was the original Ninja Gaiden for the arcade. It's definitely not like the NES version at all.
Great video. The memories man
megaman x is definitely an s tier.
I was hoping UN Squadron was gonna be end up as S tier and you didn't not disappoint! 😁 Megaman X2 is my favorite out of all of them. You should do a Jaleco games ranking video!
I have a soft spot for Ghost and Goblins, i replay it every Halloween on my SNES, one year i did beat it but messed up along the way and didn't get the true ending
Eye of the beholder was one of the best games ever made
not for consoles. good on pc tho
Good, but not as good as Dungeon Master.
