    The sprite based graphics are evergreen and the list of games it has never gets old.

      Pretty much. SNES was peak 2D, which is why so many games from Shovel Knight to Sea of Stars, take inspiration from it. It even got a bit of a second wind with the Game Boy Advance making the whole thing portable.

      Yep, Mitsuda literally overworked himself until he got sick. He is an absolute top tier composer. He also did Chrono Cross (without help that time) and Xenogears. The only composer I've seen that's fully on Mitsuda's level is Masayoshi Soken. He composed a lot of Endwalker from his hospital room while being treated for cancer.

      It's funny because fast forward to this year and I've also seen a ton of reviewers say Sea of Stars' OST is by Mitsuda when he also only did 10 songs and the vast majority was by Eric Brown.

    • @benstevens44
      @benstevens44 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Here, let me point you at a few of the... well, probably rightfully overlooked games, not the system's masterpieces but still worth giving a try:
      Arcana - A low-animation dungeon crawler with a bit of a mean streak, but the soundtrack alone is worth the play.
      Paladin's Quest - Your standard JRPG, but with an unusual approach to its magic system, a world that feels bigger than it really is, and a nice twist on the usual "chosen one" story.
      Lagoon - Actually, I don't even know why I'm recommending this, it's an action-adventure game that gives you basically a two-pixel attack range and will cheerfully throw a game over at you for blowing a simple jump, but it's got a sort of charm to it.
      Soul Blazer/Illusion of Gaia/Terranigma - They're not quite a series, but they try to hint at a shared universe. Soul Blazer is just okay, but Illusion of Gaia has an involved and kind of moody story, and Terranigma takes the gameplay of the previous two games and perfects it; just don't expect good things happening to good people, it's a bit bleak.

    • @JackoBanon1
      @JackoBanon1 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Of the trilogy DKC1 is probably my least favorite one but it was also the first video game I ever owned as a child. (Besides Super Mario World of course when my parents bought the SNES)
      I remember playing DKC1 with my dad and failing the levels again and again. But with time we both improved and managed to reach world 4. And if I remember correctly you had to beat 5 extremely difficult ice levels in a row before you were able to save in this world so we reached some kind of dead end there.
      But because my dad had to work and other obligations and I had much more free time my disadvantage of still being very young and my mechanical skills not being completelly evolved yet could be compensated and I became better and better and finally managed to beat the 4th world and he was super suprised when he saw it. Then we finished the game together because the rest of the game was actually much easier.
      After DKC2 was released I was completelly obsessed with the game and became so good that he didn't even want to play with me anymore because I would beat almost every level at first try while he already had to struggle in the 2. world.
      Good old memories, haha.

    Of the 54 songs on the Chrono Trigger soundtrack, Nobou Uematsu actually only worked on 10. Most of them were composed by Yasunori Mitsuda (who recently swapped to the role of "legendary veteran contributing a few tracks to a masterpiece" for Sea of Stars). Also, there's no "The" before "Legend" in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, and the "r" comes before the "l" ;)

    The snes was nuts man, being a kid was nuts. I remember to this day playing Mario RPG, never even knowing that they made games like that. It blew my mind. I played it over and over, using every character finding new stuff each time. As a kid I lived on a farm way out in the middle of nowhere, we didn't have internet or a lot of money so my only glimpse into what else was out there was from looking at magazines as my mom shopped or talking to the other kids at school. Maybe getting 1 or 2 games on my birthday or christmas. DUDE, I totally forgot about RENTING snes games lol. I used to love renting the Terminator 2 arcade game and.....Battle or Clash of the monsters. I don't remember the name exactly but it was amazing. Kinda like double dragon with dinosaurs.

    I have had a complex history with FF6. For most of my life it was my favourite game of all time however as things have gone on the mistakes really start to wear on me and I dont think I'll ever return to the SNES version. In particular the evasion bug. The fact that two of the 9 fundamental stats are completely bugged just really bothers me and it had not only slipped from my top spot but had actually slipped from my top 5.
    However the recent pixel remaster has done some amazing things. Fixing some of the biggest issues and somehow managing to actually improve on the music in perhaps my favourite soundtrack is just spectacular. It put FF6 back on top in my books.

    Great list Jirard! The SNES has so many good titles that I would also put on my list like Contra 3, Turtles in Time, Aladdin, SF 2, MK 2. The SNES is one of my favorite consoles, even tho I only had 2 games as a kid, I have so many memories of playing with my cousins the games they had and going to the rental store and rent a game for the weekend.

    I hate to be that WELL ACKTUALLY guy but Yasunori Mitsuda is actually the one responsible for most of Chrono Trigger’s OST, I believe he worked himself so hard to the point of hospitalization that Nobuo Uematsu had to come in and finish the remaining tracks which wasn’t very much.

It's what put Mitsuda on the map, shocked that a channel this big got such a basic and well known fact wrong. And it does a huge disservice to the work Mitsuda put in. It's even on the wikipedia page for Mitsuda.

I started barely with SNES and transitioned to PC and thereafter modern gaming and it's so refreshing to go back to these games. I'm awful at them but I get more value from that alone. Thank you for your dedication on this channel for the past 13+ years, I'm recent but definitely have been binging and it's has helped through making some great decisions.

    Great list! Earthbound is my favourite SNES game, with DKC3 and DKC2 not far behind (they're pretty close!), it really has such a great lineup, some of which I have yet to play *cough* Chrono Trigger, FF6, Mario RPG *cough* but maybe one day I will sit down and play them, it did take me a long time to start FF7, took me a long time to play Earthbound, recently just started Paper Mario 64, so good to know there's still so much to experience.

    for real. if you'd end up stranded on an island with nothing but these 10 games, you'd be set for life anyway. the snes is such an incredible machine
