@@KurodaKyousuke , lovely, thanks! Regarding the list, I love how of both of the Mario games are together at 4 and 5, the third Mario game is divided from the other two by Metroid (which is a good game in its own right, but not one of my personal favorites on the console). Even the top 10 here is endless gameplay. Special shoutout to SMK. Overall, a very solid list!
@@chivalrous_chevy1163 Thanks! A short list of games that juuuuuusst missed the mark: Secret of Mana Mega Man X Street Fighter 2 Kirby's Dream Course Star Fox Zombies Ate My Neighbors Star Ocean
@Travis Edwards I like Secret of Mana a lot, but yeah I had a hard time getting into it at first too. It really is worth it once you get into it though.
Super Mario RPG's impact on my life growing up in the 90s cannot be understated. Its almost like I was born in 1985 just to appreciate this game at the perfect age.
I'm in the same boat. Also born in 1985. I've been committed to Mario since birth, and no game has brought the Mario crew to life like Mario RPG did, even over 25 years later.
I remember spending all summer playing Super Mario RPG back when it first came out. I think I had just finished 4th grade at the time, and this game was one of the most memorable games I played during my childhood.
I remember having friends sleepover party for the entire weekend. We played Chrono Trigger, Zelda, Mortal Kombat, and other awesome games from start to finish. We would take turns sleeping at night and playing the game continuously. Only waking each other up on Saturday night for important story lines or boss fights. Sunday afternoon our parents would finally come pick us up from the house we stayed at for the weekend. Man that was some fun times as a kid! We were always good friends that loved comic books and games. We were amazed when one of our group had the internet! It was like a new dimension of space and time. ... God I'm old. I have Chrono Trigger on my phone! Once in a blue moon I start it up and pass a mission. The music always makes me smile!
i had fun playing marbles in the sand, and running outside with friends, riding bikes in old European towns. Staying out all day, playing cops and robbers, no parents around, no fear of kidnapping, kids were out all day with no worries. We had no video games, and we had the best time of our lives.
I personally think Yoshi's Island is one of the best 2D platformer games of all time, not just on the system. It's graphics and game play still hold up with games released today, and it's stages are amazing.
Yeah I had both Mario rpg and Yoshi’s island. Beat em both but it’s way too hard to say which was better. It started for me with that very first sound on Mario World. That was my “you had me at hello” moment. Lol
The SNES had a ton of horsepower left on the bone. Nintendo has always tamped down the power of these consoles. There were actually prototypes being developed that could be upgraded by the at home or end user, similarly to PC's. I'd like to have seen that. I wonder what the SNES could've been had Nintendo gone that route instead of the N64. In that era the push for polygonal graphics was all but irresistible. There was so much more that could've been done with that system, that it feels like the boat really got missed. Big N got to far out ahead in some ways with the 64 and the industry wasn't really ready yet.
My #1 for the SNES has and forever will be Super Mario RPG, and finding this video just now and seeing you have the same exact opinion is pretty awesome. It's the first game I've ever played that truly got me addicted to playing a videogame; when I was 9 years old, I would literally walk to my friend's house (where I first played it) every day just to play the game (I'm 32 now).
I have to say, I feel fortunate that I grew up during the early to mid 90's era of gaming. Ocarina of Time, Chrono Trigger, multiple Final Fantasy titles, great sport titles. Story, innovation, exciting gameplay, it really felt like a truly golden age of gaming that for better or worse may never be repeated.
So repayable, from your first run making everyone balanced, then a magic or straight attack only run to trying to get as overpowered as possible. Hands down one of the best games... This list is nostalgic to its max and I implore any gamer to play most on this list.

I love your list and was wondering what could beat Chrono Trigger for number 1 but when you revealed Super Mario RPG I totally agreed. All these games bring back so many emotions. SNES is my favorite console aswell :)
@@Ilovewatchingsupernaturalparan of all the consoles i have tried i prefer the snes. it has a plethora of amazingly good games, and the most ergonomic controllers.
@@Ilovewatchingsupernaturalparan you're crazy but it's your opinion. I had a genesis and my brother had a snes so I would always stick up for sega and act like I had the better system but inside I knew the snes was far and away the much better system. the voices are always garbled regardless of the game and the graphics are just always better. I think aladdin was the only game where the genesis version was better than the snes version
Hey, man! Your content is super good and this video has been edited lovely!! I just subbed to your channel. Your script is good and I enjoy very much your sense of humor. I do I want to point one thing out, though. There are a lot of little hesitations and obvious spots where you stopped and comp-ed in. Maybe make your comps tighter and try to eliminate hesitations in your delivery. It makes your narration a little choppy and that creates a bit of a distraction while watching. Maybe I notice things most people don’t; I just wanted to let you know! I love what you’re doing. You’ve got a new fan here.💕
I noticed this, as well, but was unable to use such technical language as you did in describing it. It was distracting but I thought it was simply his manner of speech. If this is indeed a technical problem, I'd suggest addressing it as @J A suggests. If you just speak this way, no worries and great content :)
If you see the other videos I have done since then (The Castlevania videos in particular) I have definitely improved. This was my first really big script that I narrated and you can definitely hear it. Hahaha
This is such a great video! I remember watching my older cousin play Illusion of Gaia when I was like 6 years old. Although I have never remembered the name or been able to describe it well enough for anyone to know what I was talking about. I am so glad I watched this video, and it was so simple without any of that annoying pizazz you get on so many reviews these days. I'm going to get myself a real SNES and get some a classic gaming collection started, you've inspired me! I am such a 90's person Thanks!
I'm an old man by gaming standards and well I kinda am. At 44 yrs young now and married 23 years now, I'm always blown away how you kiddos do such a great job at editing! Just wow! I got my snes on my 16th birthday in 92 and man you are so right. Best console ever! Thank you for this video and keep up the great work! PS. I'm a grandpa gamer and proud!
There are two sports games that definitely should have made this list. 1 - While only released in Australia, Europe and India (for obvious reasons), I have to say that Super International Cricket definitely deserved to make the list. 2 - NBA Jam also deserved to be in there somewhere.
If you liked Illusion of Gaia, you'd like (possibly love?) Terranigma. It was made by the same development team (Quintet) also published by Enix. It's considered part of the unofficial 'Soulblazer Trilogy'. (It's also one of my personal favourite games of all time!)
Secret of Mana will always be my #1 SNES pick but I absolutely understand putting Super Mario RPG as your #1, it's one of those jewels that I still go back and play through regularly. Really enjoyed your entire list, quality rankings and there is not a game on the list I do not recall fondly.
The SNES is my all time favourite console with the best controller and the best library of games. It's more than 30 years after its "birth" now, and I still love to play the great SNES.
Bruh I still remembering spending about 1 month of a summer perfecting Yoshi's Island... 100 score on every level... I was away from my friends so had nothing but the SNES of my childhood. Good times. Great vid!
Wow, what a wonderful trip down memory lane! Those music choices took me back and brought back memories I thought were long gone! I think I’m a bit older than you because I remember the US launch of the SNES. My copy of Mario World is def a pack-in with the console that we got on launch…which is still functioning just fine, thankfully. This was a great list! Of your choices, I pretty much played everything expect the JRPGs. Now I know what I missed out on. Thank you for this! And thank you EverDrive so I can catch up on those missed titles without having to pay the current prices for those FF games lol
1:46 it is indeed, my friend. Your order is slightly different but I would probably pick almost all of these for my top 20 as well. The editing and voiceover is only getting better. I think you did a great job on this
I bought a SNES when I was 16 to play Street Fighter. I'm 44, and no lie... it's hooked up to my TV right now! My favorite games, Street Fighter, Mario Paint....yes, I have the mouse for it too, HALS Golf and Mortal Kombat. Tetris 2 blows!
My first game ever for this console was also Killer Instinct. I was 8 yrs old. My very first console to buy and own. You mentioned very important games. I've yet to have Earthbound. I never played it. All the others you mentioned are part of my collection. Great vid man!!!
Man, lots of good games here. My favorites include some you didn't mention, like the many iterations of Street Fighter 2 (which I enjoyed much more than Killer Instinct), F-Zero, Super Ghouls n' Ghosts, Earthworm Jim (1 and 2), the Megaman X games, NBA Jam, and Star Fox. With that said, there are still a ton of titles I haven't even played yet... even all these years later.
SNES was such a beast. Super Mario World, Zelda: Link to the Past, Yoshi's Island, Super Metroid, Donkey Kong Country trilogy, Mega Man X, TMNT 4: Turtles in Time, Castlevania 4, Illusion of Gaia, Chrono Trigger, Mystical Ninja Goemon (all four of them), Disney's Magical Quest Mickey Mouse trilogy, Terranigma, Super Mario RPG, Earthbound, Mega Man 7, Star Fox, Kirby Super Star, Secret of Mana/Trials of Mana, Lufia 2, Super Mario Kart, Street Fighter 2, Aladdin, Goof Troop, Final Fantasy 6, Prince of Persia, Mortal Kombat 2, Batman Returns, Adventures of Batman and Robin, X-Men Mutant Apocalypse, Soul Blazer, Knights of the Round, King of Dragons, Star Ocean, Tales of Phantasia, Far East of Eden Zero, Ninja Warriors, Ninja Gaiden Trilogy, Congo's Caper, Indiana Jones I could go on forever
super mario rpg is my #1 of all time as well.. nothing comes close.. the perfect difficulty, amazing story, interesting characters, I could go on and on.
I remember as a kid I would be playing Chrono Trigger and Super Mario RPG and both my little sisters would spend the whole afternoon watching me play. Those were really chill times.
My best xmas and one of the best memories of my childhood was when i got my snes when i hear music from mario world i get teary eyed i luv my mum and dad they were the best
Aww that's nice. 😄 Yeah, I totally agree. I remember getting my SNES one Christmas in the mid 90s and it will always stand out as one of the best memories of my childhood. Such good times and many memories...
I beat the majority of every game on your list and loved them all. But the fact you ended with the only snes game that I have beat over and over is awesome to me. Super Mario RPG is the reason I became a mostly RPG player back in the day. But you didn't have a several games I would have had on the list. Like Biker Mice from Mars, Gradious 3, bubsy, aero the acrobat and batman returns ( the best beatum up game of all time ) Great vid, enjoyed watching very much.
How do people still not realize in DK3 lightning lookout, if you hold a beetle above your head, it protects you from the lightning. And it shows you where the lighting is going to hit. Watch the background
Chrono Trigger really could have been #1 as well. I love that game to pieces. Mega Man X just missed the top 20. I really didn't play a ton of it as a kid, and was never very good at the Mega Man games.
Oh yeah, I loved MMX. I found it a good deal easier than the NES or the Gameboy ones, which is honestly not a bad thing because there were so many cool new features in this series.
I agree with Mario RPG as a #1 pick for basically the same reasons as you. It changed my life and introduced me to RPG's as a child. I had no idea who Squaresoft was prior. I still cry when I watch the ending of that game today.
Hey! Thank you so much for the positive feedback! I'm currently working on a video about the history of Rareware, as well as a top 10 games by them. I have a bunch of other ideas for videos like this so I really appreciate the support! :)
You got your SNES right around the same time as me but i think i was younger. I can tell you are a true player salute to you my bro. You are just like me if i had been able to keep up with my Nintendo. Life got crazy and i got seperated from it and 30+ games.😭 I haven't played all the games on this list but i have played most and as for the games I haven't played im gonna take your word for it 😉 This list gets two thumbs up and one big toe from me!
Kuroda Kyousuke I’m in the SoM camp (playing it again right now) but I WAS just talking the other day about how good IoG is. I think SoM is more polished with better music, and the multiplayer potential is great...but I don’t mind seeing IoG on that list. And Earthbound is my favorite game of all time, so thank you for putting that so high.
Honestly that's a solid list. I put Chrono Trigger 1, then Super Mario RPG 2nd in my personal list. We can both agree SNES is the best Gaming Console of all time, no debate😊
Secret of Mana is pretty good, but Secret of Evermore blows it out of the water entirely! I was particularly pleased with your top 3, as those would probably be my top 3 as well, just in a slightly different order. For me Chrono Trigger wouldn't only be the number 1 SNES game, it's legitimately my favorite game of all time. I have it on PS1, Android, Steam, and DS. If I had to pick one game to play for the rest of my life, that would be it with zero hesitation.
I like the intro, how it starts with the music and information before you begin to speak about it. Information such as when it was launched etc. One thing you should improve, is speaking with more enthusiasm, it makes most people bored and not excited about what you're saying. Try to add in little jokes here and there, for example showing a broken nintendo character and saying how broken it was compared to one of the best on the list. Overall, great video Rob. As you know, I've been your subscriber since you had 20-30. And I liked how you kinda did that by saying "Cowabunga dudes!" when you introduced TMNT.
I feel like I naturally have a rather monotone voice, so I am definitely aware of what your saying. I I've definitely been trying very hard to improve my voice overs in general, and I think like you said adding a lot of humorous moments in this video was a good idea. I'll keep working on it though. :)
I kept waiting to see Mario RPG and was so happy to see yet another person who thinks it's number 1. It's the only SNES game I enjoy playing on my phone.
Thanks for taking the time to put this video together Kuroda! Awesome list with what I consider some of the greatest games of all time! I started playing video games right before the original NES came out but became instantly addicted to the SNES when it first played it! Keep up the great work!
Surprising to see ALttP so low on a Best SNES Games list. It's my favorite Zelda game ever, and in my Top 3, maybe even Top 2 favorite games ever. While the original TLOZ was a game-changing, monumental moment in gaming, ALttP was also far ahead of its time - moreso than TLOZ. But I can understand why it might not gel with everyone. It certainly doesn't hold your hand, and can be extremely challenging at times as well as slow at other times. But those are all things I absolutely love about it. Great list, glad the almighty algorithm recommended this video to me. Definitely subscribing!
Thanks! It was very hard not to put Chrono Trigger at number one, since I think it's one of the greatest games of all time, but I still absolutely adore it. Haha
Thank you for sharing your top 20 SNES games. In return, I'll share with you my own personal top 20 favorites. My top 20 goes like this: 20: NBA Hangtime 19: Secret of Evermore 18: Mario Paint 17: Street Fighter II 16: Super Ghouls & Ghosts 15: Mega Man X 14: Super Mario RPG 13: Illusion of Gaia 12: Final Fantasy IV 11: Super Mario Kart 10: Turtles in Time 9: Mortal Kombat II 8: Super Mario World 7: DKC2 Diddy's Kong Quest 6: Super Metroid 5: Earthbound 4: Final Fantasy VI 3: Secret of Mana 2: Zelda A Link to the Past 1: Chrono Trigger
@@themiketysonshow9493 I have to agree. Killer Instinct, Super Mario RPG the other two Donkey Kong Country games and actually Super Metroid I think are contenders as well
@@KurodaKyousuke yeah the reason I chose dkc 2 over the other two is because I while I think the graphics are equal in quality I think dkc 2 has the better art direction with better color variety
Hi , I'm from El Salvador, greetings. Iam lesrning english and I love retro video games I just found your Chanel and It is really amazing. This kinda content help me "cause I can learn while I enjoy .❤❤
@@fkillah not really. Megadrive had nothing to envy on the Snes, and is even a three year older console. But it seems you grew up with the Snes... For every game on this list (wich lacked Star Fox and F-Zero), Megadrive had a counterpart. You cannot deny how great games and franchises like Sonic, Ecco, Ristar, Vectorman, Virtua racing, Alien Soldier, Contra: Hard corps, Battlemania, Gunstar heroes, Ranger X, Sagaia, Greylancer, Lightning force, Phantasy star, Alisia Dragoon, Shinning force, Streets of rage, Golden Axe, Super Monaco GP, Outrun, Story of Tor, Toe Jam & Earl, Dynamitte headdy, Sword of Vermilion, Soleil, Panorama Cotton and many more are. Also i recomend you to watch the console wars documentary and see how much beloved and iconic Sega is (with full new releases and all) even when they dont make hardware since 2001. Denying that is just pure fanboism on your biased head.
@@milesr4609 your proving my point, a lot of those games you listed are largely unknown except to avid gamers. The general audience knows Mario and Zelda. You want to argue otherwise? Let’s take a poll on how many people know of echo vs Kirby? 😂 Also contra was a nes game first. So quiet down biased fanboy.
FINALLY! Someone recognizes FF4! That was the my first final fantasy game as well and god damn it’s awesome, FF6 is also pretty damn great so far (Currently playing through it for the first time on my SNES mini), but the 4th game will always hold a special place in my heart. It genuinely suprises and upsets me how little I see FF4 mentioned when it comes to discussing the most classic RPGs to date, everyone can’t stop talking about ff7 or ff6 to even realize my boi Cecil exists :(
i'd recommend a real emulator instead of the snes mini. the wii classic controller is the closest match to the snes original controller....and there's an adapter to make it usb. it works great on all emulators
Awesome picks! The Super Nintendo is still my favorite video game system as well. My Top 20 Favorite SNES Games (in no particular order) 1. Aerobiz 2. Chrono Trigger 3. Contra III: The Alien Wars 4. Demon’s Crest 5. Donkey Kong Country 6. Final Fantasy III 7. F-Zero 8. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past 9. Mega Man X 10. Pilotwings 11. Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers 12. Super Castlevania IV 13. Super Mario All Stars 14. Super Mario Kart 15. Super Mario World 16. Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island 17. Super Metroid 18. Super Punch-Out!! 19. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time 20. Zombies Ate My Neighbors
...this is a really good list, and features most of my favorite SNES games as well (Super Mario RPG, Crono Trigger, FFIV, FFVI, Super Mario Kart, Super Mario: All Stars, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Secret of Mana, etc.). Throw in Contra III and you'd have almost all of 'em.
I actually really liked this video.Sucks that people like you dont get recommended much and im lucky to have found this video because it’s pretty good.I noticed that you had a stutter so that is the only drawback but yea its great
Thanks! My narration has improved greatly since this video. (I did this over a year ago). My Brief History of Castlevania and Top 10 neglected Mario Characters videos for example have much better narration.
I’m revisiting this one, and man, I like this list a lot. I’d definitely put many of these on my favorite/best SNES games list. I’ll never forget when my younger brother got a Sega Genesis- I love the Sega Genesis, but every time I played it, I would think to myself “Yeah, but the Super NES is gonna beat your ass when it drops.” And it did. Not only that, but the SNES controller ended up being the core template for every single modern consoles controllers.
I received the Legend of Zelda, a Link to the Past for Christmas, and all I did for the next month was eat, sleep and play Zelda until I finally beat it on Super Bowl Sunday. It was the first time I had ever beat a video game. Not being content with that, I became determined to beat it without dying. That took to about midsummer, and then I wanted to fill all three character slots with perfect games, and that took me to right around Christmas. It is, in my humble opinion, not just the best game in the Zelda franchise, but the greatest video game of all time.
1. DKC: Diddys Kong Quest, 2. Terranigma, 3. Zombies ate my neighbors, 4. Yoshis Island, 5. DKC: Dixies Double Trouble, 6. SMK, 7. Tetris Attack, 8. Super Metroid, 9. Primal Rage, 10. F Zero
Nice list. I also prefer Final Fantasy II over FFIII because the latter was so full of characters and side plots that it ruined the game a bit for me. FFII focused on one central character and one central plot and I therefore found it easier to invest myself in the character's stories. Nice to see SMRPG love too - I have no problem seeing it in your #1 spot.
Good to see Tetris Attack get a bit of attention. I became obsessed with it for a few years and developed quite a high degree of skill. The mechanics are so unique, nothing like it has ever existed. The satisfaction of pulling off long skill chains and huge combos created a fascination in my mind for how the algorithms within the game must have been structured. I then embarked on a mission to create a clone of it for PC, and that process was even more captivating than the game itself was.
You forgot NBA Jam: Tournament Edition. That game was incredible with the monster slam dunks, but it also had the power-ups and bonus point hotspots to really make it a blast to play.
First SNES top list that I see that includes Killer Instint, for many, many, many the best fight game of the console. One of the best Top list that I ever seen of this console. Thanks
I always look back on Super Mario RPG and laugh. It was one of my favorites, and my first RPG as a kid. At that time, I didn't know too much about video games... in my mind, as games, they weren't something you thought about, you just played them. "No think, just do" was how I saw them lol, as such, learning SMRPG was actually surprisingly challenging for me. I'll never forget getting stuck on Bowyer, the Forest Maze boss, for a little over a month. I'd come home from school every day, turn on the game, watch the cut scene before the boss, and attempt the fight 5 or 6 times, and did that for a month and a half because in my mind, it was a matter of "oh I'm just not good enough yet to beat the boss"... it never dawned on me that I could use strategy to win, or simply go fight some enemies to level up to make things easier. I was probably level 3 or 4 at that point, and all I knew was the brute force method of try and try and try. It was funny because it added a lot of tension to the game for me where each boss had me worrying like "oh no, am I going to be stuck here another month?!", and of course, there are a lot of bosses in RPG's lol, so this made the game all the more rewarding when I finally finished. I still remember the summer evening, sitting at the dinner table as a 10 year old and excitedly telling my grand parents how I beat the game, and them nodding like "that's nice dear" having no clue what I was talking about haha.
When I was a kid, everyone at my school was militantly against RPGs of any kind. If you liked them, you were badly made fun of. I can’t remember why this was the case. But because of this I never played them until later, and not got to really liking them at all.
Whoever you are kuroda, we have extremely similar tastes. I also love how much you props you gave our believed jrpgs, although id respectfully place ff6 way higher up, and switch chrono trigger and Mario rpg, as the latter was just so short a game (level 30 max was just not cool for me) , as awesome as it was. Great list, youre doing the lords work
Back when games were just games. You plug it in and it does what it's supposed to do. No internet connection, updates, microtransactions, etc. I'll always have a "nostalgia corner" wherever I live with a crt tv and a nice comfy couch with NES, SNES, Genesis, N64 and PS1 with an original Game boy and a game boy advance sp.
Can someone make a list of the games in this video?

Even the top 10 here is endless gameplay. Special shoutout to SMK. Overall, a very solid list!

@Travis Edwards I like Secret of Mana a lot, but yeah I had a hard time getting into it at first too. It really is worth it once you get into it though.
Super Mario RPG's impact on my life growing up in the 90s cannot be understated. Its almost like I was born in 1985 just to appreciate this game at the perfect age.
um ... every single word you just said applies to me, im speechless lol, it was the perfect storm its insane, RIGHT before mario 64 too
I'm in the same boat. Also born in 1985. I've been committed to Mario since birth, and no game has brought the Mario crew to life like Mario RPG did, even over 25 years later.
I remember spending all summer playing Super Mario RPG back when it first came out. I think I had just finished 4th grade at the time, and this game was one of the most memorable games I played during my childhood.
Same. First rpg I got into
Same. Agreed!
I remember having friends sleepover party for the entire weekend. We played Chrono Trigger, Zelda, Mortal Kombat, and other awesome games from start to finish. We would take turns sleeping at night and playing the game continuously. Only waking each other up on Saturday night for important story lines or boss fights. Sunday afternoon our parents would finally come pick us up from the house we stayed at for the weekend. Man that was some fun times as a kid! We were always good friends that loved comic books and games. We were amazed when one of our group had the internet! It was like a new dimension of space and time. ... God I'm old. I have Chrono Trigger on my phone! Once in a blue moon I start it up and pass a mission. The music always makes me smile!
Schalas theme cuz she ‘never been’
i had fun playing marbles in the sand, and running outside with friends, riding bikes in old European towns. Staying out all day, playing cops and robbers, no parents around, no fear of kidnapping, kids were out all day with no worries. We had no video games, and we had the best time of our lives.
That sounds like a lot of fun.
gosh.....even i love the time u had...thank u for sharing
How is it on your phone? Forgive me, I'm old too. Lol.
I personally think Yoshi's Island is one of the best 2D platformer games of all time, not just on the system. It's graphics and game play still hold up with games released today, and it's stages are amazing.
Yeah I had both Mario rpg and Yoshi’s island. Beat em both but it’s way too hard to say which was better. It started for me with that very first sound on Mario World. That was my “you had me at hello” moment. Lol
The SNES had a ton of horsepower left on the bone. Nintendo has always tamped down the power of these consoles. There were actually prototypes being developed that could be upgraded by the at home or end user, similarly to PC's. I'd like to have seen that. I wonder what the SNES could've been had Nintendo gone that route instead of the N64. In that era the push for polygonal graphics was all but irresistible. There was so much more that could've been done with that system, that it feels like the boat really got missed. Big N got to far out ahead in some ways with the 64 and the industry wasn't really ready yet.
My #1 for the SNES has and forever will be Super Mario RPG, and finding this video just now and seeing you have the same exact opinion is pretty awesome. It's the first game I've ever played that truly got me addicted to playing a videogame; when I was 9 years old, I would literally walk to my friend's house (where I first played it) every day just to play the game (I'm 32 now).
Let me guess you’re from South Jersey?
I have to say, I feel fortunate that I grew up during the early to mid 90's era of gaming. Ocarina of Time, Chrono Trigger, multiple Final Fantasy titles, great sport titles. Story, innovation, exciting gameplay, it really felt like a truly golden age of gaming that for better or worse may never be repeated.
I'm saddened by the realization that we won't get back to that level.
Super Mario RPG will forever be my all time favorite game. Made a huge impact on my life as a kid growing up in the 90's. Great list!
So repayable, from your first run making everyone balanced, then a magic or straight attack only run to trying to get as overpowered as possible. Hands down one of the best games... This list is nostalgic to its max and I implore any gamer to play most on this list.

I love your list and was wondering what could beat Chrono Trigger for number 1 but when you revealed Super Mario RPG I totally agreed. All these games bring back so many emotions. SNES is my favorite console aswell :)
Megaman x... zombies ate my neighbors...
GREAT games but just shy of my list. Believe me, this could have easily been a top 50.
Zombies are my neighbors definitely better than at least half these games, also secret of Mana deserves top 5
I was hoping somebody would name drop Zombies Ate My Neighbors..
One of my personal favorites with Double Dragon & Turtles In Time.
Great list. The only game you missed IMHO is megaman X. Coulda swung that in there instead of all three donkey kongs.
Fair. I'm kind of kicking myself over Zombies Ate My Neighbors too, not going to lie.
@@KurodaKyousuke aww man didnt even think of that. Sooo many childhood hours spent in that game with me and my friends.
STAR FOX
Specially DK3
We get it, he only likes rpg and popular games. Nothing to see here
The best console .SNES forever.
YES!
NES and is up there
Sega Mega Drive is better.
@@Ilovewatchingsupernaturalparan
of all the consoles i have tried i prefer the snes.
it has a plethora of amazingly good games, and the most ergonomic controllers.
@@Ilovewatchingsupernaturalparan you're crazy but it's your opinion. I had a genesis and my brother had a snes so I would always stick up for sega and act like I had the better system but inside I knew the snes was far and away the much better system. the voices are always garbled regardless of the game and the graphics are just always better. I think aladdin was the only game where the genesis version was better than the snes version
Hey, man! Your content is super good and this video has been edited lovely!! I just subbed to your channel. Your script is good and I enjoy very much your sense of humor. I do I want to point one thing out, though. There are a lot of little hesitations and obvious spots where you stopped and comp-ed in. Maybe make your comps tighter and try to eliminate hesitations in your delivery. It makes your narration a little choppy and that creates a bit of a distraction while watching. Maybe I notice things most people don’t; I just wanted to let you know! I love what you’re doing. You’ve got a new fan here.💕
I noticed this, as well, but was unable to use such technical language as you did in describing it. It was distracting but I thought it was simply his manner of speech. If this is indeed a technical problem, I'd suggest addressing it as @J A suggests. If you just speak this way, no worries and great content :)
If you see the other videos I have done since then (The Castlevania videos in particular) I have definitely improved. This was my first really big script that I narrated and you can definitely hear it. Hahaha
This is such a great video!
I remember watching my older cousin play Illusion of Gaia when I was like 6 years old. Although I have never remembered the name or been able to describe it well enough for anyone to know what I was talking about. I am so glad I watched this video, and it was so simple without any of that annoying pizazz you get on so many reviews these days.
I'm going to get myself a real SNES and get some a classic gaming collection started, you've inspired me! I am such a 90's person
Thanks!
Illusion of Gaia is wonderful. I'm glad I was able to rediscover it!
And thanks for the kind words! 😄
I'm an old man by gaming standards and well I kinda am. At 44 yrs young now and married 23 years now, I'm always blown away how you kiddos do such a great job at editing! Just wow! I got my snes on my 16th birthday in 92 and man you are so right. Best console ever! Thank you for this video and keep up the great work! PS. I'm a grandpa gamer and proud!
Thank you for the kudos and for watching! Glad you enjoyed it! 😄
Its sad that quality creators like you dont get recommended much. Great video. You got a new sub
I really appreciate that, thank you so much! 😄
There are two sports games that definitely should have made this list.
1 - While only released in Australia, Europe and India (for obvious reasons), I have to say that Super International Cricket definitely deserved to make the list.
2 - NBA Jam also deserved to be in there somewhere.
Super International Cricket - thanks for the recommendation!
If you liked Illusion of Gaia, you'd like (possibly love?) Terranigma. It was made by the same development team (Quintet) also published by Enix. It's considered part of the unofficial 'Soulblazer Trilogy'.
(It's also one of my personal favourite games of all time!)
That's a game that has long been on my radar. I definitely plan to play it at some point as I have heard nothing but good things about it.
@@KurodaKyousuke And for good reason! Did you pick it up yet? x)
Secret of Evermore should be on the list. And Final Fantasy 4 and 6 should be way higher.
Secret of evermore came up in my head too. Ogre Battle also.
Secret of Mana will always be my #1 SNES pick but I absolutely understand putting Super Mario RPG as your #1, it's one of those jewels that I still go back and play through regularly. Really enjoyed your entire list, quality rankings and there is not a game on the list I do not recall fondly.
The SNES is my all time favourite console with the best controller and the best library of games. It's more than 30 years after its "birth" now, and I still love to play the great SNES.
DKC 2 was and will always be my favorite game of that era! Love, love, love that game!
Spot on! Mario rpg was 🔥. Mini games, soundtrack and overall feel good game
Bruh I still remembering spending about 1 month of a summer perfecting Yoshi's Island... 100 score on every level... I was away from my friends so had nothing but the SNES of my childhood. Good times. Great vid!
I can just feel how proud you are after each of your puns. Loving the video so far, man
What about F-Zero! An amazing racing game with a second to none soundtrack
Better than Mario Kart.
Rock n' roll racing
Yup by far the best racing game snes!
Son Of Troy Tetris attack 😂
Son Of Troy no star fox either
Wow, what a wonderful trip down memory lane! Those music choices took me back and brought back memories I thought were long gone! I think I’m a bit older than you because I remember the US launch of the SNES. My copy of Mario World is def a pack-in with the console that we got on launch…which is still functioning just fine, thankfully. This was a great list! Of your choices, I pretty much played everything expect the JRPGs. Now I know what I missed out on. Thank you for this! And thank you EverDrive so I can catch up on those missed titles without having to pay the current prices for those FF games lol
1:46 it is indeed, my friend.
Your order is slightly different but I would probably pick almost all of these for my top 20 as well.
The editing and voiceover is only getting better. I think you did a great job on this
Yayyyyy! Thanks! The footage of Turtles in Time is from our play through by the way.
I bought a SNES when I was 16 to play Street Fighter. I'm 44, and no lie... it's hooked up to my TV right now!
My favorite games, Street Fighter, Mario Paint....yes, I have the mouse for it too, HALS Golf and Mortal Kombat.
Tetris 2 blows!
Illusion of Gaia is one of the most under rated games on the snes
One of the greatest action RPGs of all time.
I preffer Terranigma by far...
Yes Terranigma is also one of the best games ever made
My first game ever for this console was also Killer Instinct. I was 8 yrs old. My very first console to buy and own. You mentioned very important games. I've yet to have Earthbound. I never played it. All the others you mentioned are part of my collection. Great vid man!!!
is it still woth playing snes games up to now? I was planning to play some snes games but I don't know if it worths it
Man, lots of good games here. My favorites include some you didn't mention, like the many iterations of Street Fighter 2 (which I enjoyed much more than Killer Instinct), F-Zero, Super Ghouls n' Ghosts, Earthworm Jim (1 and 2), the Megaman X games, NBA Jam, and Star Fox. With that said, there are still a ton of titles I haven't even played yet... even all these years later.
Totally agree on Super Mario RPG. OST was amazing, the plot was fun...10/10 game. Great memories
Take a shot every time this guy says “of all-time.” You will blackout.
Or "Landmark."
Or drink when he laughs at his shitty puns....
Didn't notice it until I read your post, but yeah... definitely.
You're voice and style is so good, that i can see this video 1000 times! ❤❤❤
1) zelda link to the past
2)zombies ate my neighbors
3)secret of mana
4)yoshi's island
5)earthbound
Nice list! I love all those games.
SNES was such a beast. Super Mario World, Zelda: Link to the Past, Yoshi's Island, Super Metroid, Donkey Kong Country trilogy, Mega Man X, TMNT 4: Turtles in Time, Castlevania 4, Illusion of Gaia, Chrono Trigger, Mystical Ninja Goemon (all four of them), Disney's Magical Quest Mickey Mouse trilogy, Terranigma, Super Mario RPG, Earthbound, Mega Man 7, Star Fox, Kirby Super Star, Secret of Mana/Trials of Mana, Lufia 2, Super Mario Kart, Street Fighter 2, Aladdin, Goof Troop, Final Fantasy 6, Prince of Persia, Mortal Kombat 2, Batman Returns, Adventures of Batman and Robin, X-Men Mutant Apocalypse, Soul Blazer, Knights of the Round, King of Dragons, Star Ocean, Tales of Phantasia, Far East of Eden Zero, Ninja Warriors, Ninja Gaiden Trilogy, Congo's Caper, Indiana Jones
I could go on forever
Yeah, there were soooo many other games I could have put on this list.
R.I P Super Punch Out 1994-2016 "Forgotten by everybody"
I'll be honest I have only barely played it. I should really play it on my classic sometime.
Uh,right,Nintendo,when are you making a new Punch-Out by the way?
@@KurodaKyousuke bro u really lost credibility everybody had punch out lol
@@HTTC4life1981 it doesn't have great replayability
I still play super punch out every now and then to this day!
super mario rpg is my #1 of all time as well.. nothing comes close.. the perfect difficulty, amazing story, interesting characters, I could go on and on.
I remember as a kid I would be playing Chrono Trigger and Super Mario RPG and both my little sisters would spend the whole afternoon watching me play. Those were really chill times.
Similar story. I remember my siblings doing the same, and playing Super Mario World and Donkey Kong Country 2 with them.
Super Mario RPG was also my first RPG!! I went from that straight to Final Fantasy IX and was an RPGer for life after that!
My best xmas and one of the best memories of my childhood was when i got my snes when i hear music from mario world i get teary eyed i luv my mum and dad they were the best
Aww that's nice. 😄 Yeah, I totally agree. I remember getting my SNES one Christmas in the mid 90s and it will always stand out as one of the best memories of my childhood. Such good times and many memories...
I beat the majority of every game on your list and loved them all. But the fact you ended with the only snes game that I have beat over and over is awesome to me. Super Mario RPG is the reason I became a mostly RPG player back in the day.
But you didn't have a several games I would have had on the list. Like Biker Mice from Mars, Gradious 3, bubsy, aero the acrobat and batman returns ( the best beatum up game of all time )
Great vid, enjoyed watching very much.
"making this one of the greatest games of all time" hear this about Super Metroid is pure joy
Not to take away from Super Metroid but he described every game of the list (take away a couple) as the “greatest of all time”.
Your list is pretty good. I was an early adopter of the Super NES, got it on launch. Still have it to this day.
Rock and roll racing was one of my favorites to play with other people
I have only seen footage of that. I'll have to play it sometime!
How do people still not realize in DK3 lightning lookout, if you hold a beetle above your head, it protects you from the lightning. And it shows you where the lighting is going to hit. Watch the background
I'd say Chrono Trigger as #1, greatest game ever IMO. Megaman X on the list somewhere as well. Overall I think this was pretty solid.
Chrono Trigger really could have been #1 as well. I love that game to pieces. Mega Man X just missed the top 20. I really didn't play a ton of it as a kid, and was never very good at the Mega Man games.
To me it's
1. ALttP
2. Yoshi's Island
3. Chrono Trigger
Megaman X would be somewhere in my Top 20 as well, 18ish or so
Oh yeah, I loved MMX. I found it a good deal easier than the NES or the Gameboy ones, which is honestly not a bad thing because there were so many cool new features in this series.
I agree with Mario RPG as a #1 pick for basically the same reasons as you. It changed my life and introduced me to RPG's as a child. I had no idea who Squaresoft was prior. I still cry when I watch the ending of that game today.
Great video and presentation, subbing and definitely going to have a look at your other videos. 👌
Hey! Thank you so much for the positive feedback! I'm currently working on a video about the history of Rareware, as well as a top 10 games by them. I have a bunch of other ideas for videos like this so I really appreciate the support! :)
You got your SNES right around the same time as me but i think i was younger.
I can tell you are a true player salute to you my bro.
You are just like me if i had been able to keep up with my Nintendo.
Life got crazy and i got seperated from it and 30+ games.😭
I haven't played all the games on this list but i have played most and as for the games I haven't played im gonna take your word for it 😉
This list gets two thumbs up and one big toe from me!
I kept screaming “BUT WHERE IS SUPER MARIO RPG?!”
I hope you were pleasantly surprised. 😉
Kuroda Kyousuke I’m in the SoM camp (playing it again right now) but I WAS just talking the other day about how good IoG is. I think SoM is more polished with better music, and the multiplayer potential is great...but I don’t mind seeing IoG on that list.
And Earthbound is my favorite game of all time, so thank you for putting that so high.
Lmaoooo I was thinking the same thing!!!
Such an amazing game,lots of happy memories!
Honestly that's a solid list. I put Chrono Trigger 1, then Super Mario RPG 2nd in my personal list. We can both agree SNES is the best Gaming Console of all time, no debate😊
Secret of Mana is pretty good, but Secret of Evermore blows it out of the water entirely! I was particularly pleased with your top 3, as those would probably be my top 3 as well, just in a slightly different order. For me Chrono Trigger wouldn't only be the number 1 SNES game, it's legitimately my favorite game of all time. I have it on PS1, Android, Steam, and DS. If I had to pick one game to play for the rest of my life, that would be it with zero hesitation.
Solid list. I enjoyed your honesty and acknowledging these were just your favorites. Very solid list and excellent delivery. Thank you.
I like the intro, how it starts with the music and information before you begin to speak about it. Information such as when it was launched etc.
One thing you should improve, is speaking with more enthusiasm, it makes most people bored and not excited about what you're saying. Try to add in little jokes here and there, for example showing a broken nintendo character and saying how broken it was compared to one of the best on the list.
Overall, great video Rob. As you know, I've been your subscriber since you had 20-30.
And I liked how you kinda did that by saying "Cowabunga dudes!" when you introduced TMNT.
Definitely agree nin. Although i can tell rob did try pretty hard to improve his narration in this one so he is trying i think. Lol
I feel like I naturally have a rather monotone voice, so I am definitely aware of what your saying. I I've definitely been trying very hard to improve my voice overs in general, and I think like you said adding a lot of humorous moments in this video was a good idea. I'll keep working on it though. :)
Kuroda Kyousuke alright, thanks for responding!
Why did this video bring a tear to my eye? Games now just dont hit the same, these were the best
I love this comment. I can completely relate to the feeling of playing these games when I was a kid.
Great list! It's missing Shadowrun, though! :0
Yeah Shadowrun was a pretty amazing game.
@@michaelbenti5383 The Genesis counterpart was fun as hell too.
I kept waiting to see Mario RPG and was so happy to see yet another person who thinks it's number 1. It's the only SNES game I enjoy playing on my phone.
I knew this list was gonna be good when it opened with Starfox music
Thanks for taking the time to put this video together Kuroda! Awesome list with what I consider some of the greatest games of all time! I started playing video games right before the original NES came out but became instantly addicted to the SNES when it first played it! Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the kudos! Glad you enjoyed it! 😄
Had to know mario RPG would be on here
You know it. I love that game maybe a little too much.
Surprising to see ALttP so low on a Best SNES Games list. It's my favorite Zelda game ever, and in my Top 3, maybe even Top 2 favorite games ever. While the original TLOZ was a game-changing, monumental moment in gaming, ALttP was also far ahead of its time - moreso than TLOZ. But I can understand why it might not gel with everyone. It certainly doesn't hold your hand, and can be extremely challenging at times as well as slow at other times. But those are all things I absolutely love about it.
Great list, glad the almighty algorithm recommended this video to me. Definitely subscribing!
Love this video!..I agree with everything! / your choices!. But I'd put chrono trigger at number 1. Lol. Good video tho.
Thanks! It was very hard not to put Chrono Trigger at number one, since I think it's one of the greatest games of all time, but I still absolutely adore it. Haha
Thank you for sharing your top 20 SNES games. In return, I'll share with you my own personal top 20 favorites.
My top 20 goes like this:
20: NBA Hangtime
19: Secret of Evermore
18: Mario Paint
17: Street Fighter II
16: Super Ghouls & Ghosts
15: Mega Man X
14: Super Mario RPG
13: Illusion of Gaia
12: Final Fantasy IV
11: Super Mario Kart
10: Turtles in Time
9: Mortal Kombat II
8: Super Mario World
7: DKC2 Diddy's Kong Quest
6: Super Metroid
5: Earthbound
4: Final Fantasy VI
3: Secret of Mana
2: Zelda A Link to the Past
1: Chrono Trigger
Awesome list! Some great stuff there.
This is sweet Man!
Thanks dude! I appreciate you watching! :)
Seeing your #1 was a treat! I love that game so much! Truly a masterpiece of a game! Super Mario RPG Legend of the Seven Stars! The good ole days!
My favorite game on the Super Nintendo is Yoshi’s Island. It’s the best looking game on the system in my opinion and I think the gameplay is amazing
It's just a stunning looking game and one of the best Platformers of all time!
I think donkey Kong country 2 is the best looking game on the system personally
@@themiketysonshow9493 I have to agree. Killer Instinct, Super Mario RPG the other two Donkey Kong Country games and actually Super Metroid I think are contenders as well
@@KurodaKyousuke yeah the reason I chose dkc 2 over the other two is because I while I think the graphics are equal in quality I think dkc 2 has the better art direction with better color variety
@@themiketysonshow9493 Ye. There is a quality to that game that is unsurpassed. I love how the game has a bit darker tone to it.
great video! so many games i had not even heard of
Great list in my opinion you should do honorable mentions like megaman x street fighter 2 even mortal kombat just saying
I had thought about doing honorable mentions, but this video took forever to edit. Ahaha
Hi ,
I'm from El Salvador, greetings.
Iam lesrning english and I love retro video games
I just found your Chanel and It is really amazing.
This kinda content help me "cause I can learn while I enjoy .❤❤
Great list!
as I get older, I think back and realize the kids that had a Sega genesis also have just as much great memories
I grew up with both as soon as they came out and one of my favorite Sega games is kid chameleon check that out sometime that game is hella fun to play
@@sandy60 I played it I always thought the kid was Michael J. Fox on the cover
Nintendo was far more impactful and iconic than genesis
@@fkillah not really. Megadrive had nothing to envy on the Snes, and is even a three year older console. But it seems you grew up with the Snes...
For every game on this list (wich lacked Star Fox and F-Zero), Megadrive had a counterpart. You cannot deny how great games and franchises like Sonic, Ecco, Ristar, Vectorman, Virtua racing, Alien Soldier, Contra: Hard corps, Battlemania, Gunstar heroes, Ranger X, Sagaia, Greylancer, Lightning force, Phantasy star, Alisia Dragoon, Shinning force, Streets of rage, Golden Axe, Super Monaco GP, Outrun, Story of Tor, Toe Jam & Earl, Dynamitte headdy, Sword of Vermilion, Soleil, Panorama Cotton and many more are.
Also i recomend you to watch the console wars documentary and see how much beloved and iconic Sega is (with full new releases and all) even when they dont make hardware since 2001. Denying that is just pure fanboism on your biased head.
@@milesr4609 your proving my point, a lot of those games you listed are largely unknown except to avid gamers. The general audience knows Mario and Zelda. You want to argue otherwise? Let’s take a poll on how many people know of echo vs Kirby? 😂 Also contra was a nes game first. So quiet down biased fanboy.
Great rundown on some of the coolest games. You brought back some awesome memories. Thank you!!
Oh and the SNES had some of the best soundtracks ever.
Real conversation
Just found your channel. Keep it up brother!
FINALLY! Someone recognizes FF4! That was the my first final fantasy game as well and god damn it’s awesome, FF6 is also pretty damn great so far (Currently playing through it for the first time on my SNES mini), but the 4th game will always hold a special place in my heart. It genuinely suprises and upsets me how little I see FF4 mentioned when it comes to discussing the most classic RPGs to date, everyone can’t stop talking about ff7 or ff6 to even realize my boi Cecil exists :(
i'd recommend a real emulator instead of the snes mini.
the wii classic controller is the closest match to the snes original controller....and there's an adapter to make it usb.
it works great on all emulators
sabin97 yeah man I’d love a real Emulator but don’t currently have access to a pc, and I’m on iOS, so the mini is all I really have unfortunately
FF4 is a great game. Both 4 and 6 were some of my favorites on the SNES.
Awesome picks!
The Super Nintendo is still my favorite video game system as well.

My favorite will always be Earthbound.
Oh man, I could go on and on about EarthBound. At one time it may have been #1.
@@KurodaKyousuke such a great game that never got the needed attention it deserved
It's such a wonderful game and I'll always treasure it
...this is a really good list, and features most of my favorite SNES games as well (Super Mario RPG, Crono Trigger, FFIV, FFVI, Super Mario Kart, Super Mario: All Stars, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Secret of Mana, etc.). Throw in Contra III and you'd have almost all of 'em.
I actually really liked this video.Sucks that people like you dont get recommended much and im lucky to have found this video because it’s pretty good.I noticed that you had a stutter so that is the only drawback but yea its great
Thanks! My narration has improved greatly since this video. (I did this over a year ago). My Brief History of Castlevania and Top 10 neglected Mario Characters videos for example have much better narration.
Crono Trigger is definitely #1 but I would have mario rpg in my top 2 or 3. Pretty solid list my guy!
This may be my exact same games on my top 20 list, maybe a few switching places but thats semantics. great list!
I’m revisiting this one, and man, I like this list a lot. I’d definitely put many of these on my favorite/best SNES games list.
I’ll never forget when my younger brother got a Sega Genesis- I love the Sega Genesis, but every time I played it, I would think to myself “Yeah, but the Super NES is gonna beat your ass when it drops.” And it did.
Not only that, but the SNES controller ended up being the core template for every single modern consoles controllers.
I received the Legend of Zelda, a Link to the Past for Christmas, and all I did for the next month was eat, sleep and play Zelda until I finally beat it on Super Bowl Sunday. It was the first time I had ever beat a video game. Not being content with that, I became determined to beat it without dying. That took to about midsummer, and then I wanted to fill all three character slots with perfect games, and that took me to right around Christmas. It is, in my humble opinion, not just the best game in the Zelda franchise, but the greatest video game of all time.
1. DKC: Diddys Kong Quest, 2. Terranigma, 3. Zombies ate my neighbors, 4. Yoshis Island, 5. DKC: Dixies Double Trouble, 6. SMK, 7. Tetris Attack, 8. Super Metroid, 9. Primal Rage, 10. F Zero
shoutout for you mentioning the soundtrack of DKC2. those tunes were and still are perfection.
Love your videos. Thanks for a great personalized review of one of my favorite consoles!
Nice list. I also prefer Final Fantasy II over FFIII because the latter was so full of characters and side plots that it ruined the game a bit for me. FFII focused on one central character and one central plot and I therefore found it easier to invest myself in the character's stories. Nice to see SMRPG love too - I have no problem seeing it in your #1 spot.
Wow just listening to the music on some of the DK games makes me so nostalgic legit almost cried thank you for this my childhood right here
Good to see Tetris Attack get a bit of attention. I became obsessed with it for a few years and developed quite a high degree of skill. The mechanics are so unique, nothing like it has ever existed. The satisfaction of pulling off long skill chains and huge combos created a fascination in my mind for how the algorithms within the game must have been structured. I then embarked on a mission to create a clone of it for PC, and that process was even more captivating than the game itself was.
Your number One Pick is my favorite snes game of all time. You earned my subscription kind sir
You forgot NBA Jam: Tournament Edition. That game was incredible with the monster slam dunks, but it also had the power-ups and bonus point hotspots to really make it a blast to play.
First SNES top list that I see that includes Killer Instint, for many, many, many the best fight game of the console. One of the best Top list that I ever seen of this console. Thanks
I always look back on Super Mario RPG and laugh. It was one of my favorites, and my first RPG as a kid. At that time, I didn't know too much about video games... in my mind, as games, they weren't something you thought about, you just played them. "No think, just do" was how I saw them lol, as such, learning SMRPG was actually surprisingly challenging for me.
I'll never forget getting stuck on Bowyer, the Forest Maze boss, for a little over a month. I'd come home from school every day, turn on the game, watch the cut scene before the boss, and attempt the fight 5 or 6 times, and did that for a month and a half because in my mind, it was a matter of "oh I'm just not good enough yet to beat the boss"... it never dawned on me that I could use strategy to win, or simply go fight some enemies to level up to make things easier. I was probably level 3 or 4 at that point, and all I knew was the brute force method of try and try and try.
It was funny because it added a lot of tension to the game for me where each boss had me worrying like "oh no, am I going to be stuck here another month?!", and of course, there are a lot of bosses in RPG's lol, so this made the game all the more rewarding when I finally finished. I still remember the summer evening, sitting at the dinner table as a 10 year old and excitedly telling my grand parents how I beat the game, and them nodding like "that's nice dear" having no clue what I was talking about haha.
When I was a kid, everyone at my school was militantly against RPGs of any kind. If you liked them, you were badly made fun of. I can’t remember why this was the case. But because of this I never played them until later, and not got to really liking them at all.
Whoever you are kuroda, we have extremely similar tastes.
I also love how much you props you gave our believed jrpgs, although id respectfully place ff6 way higher up, and switch chrono trigger and Mario rpg, as the latter was just so short a game (level 30 max was just not cool for me) , as awesome as it was.
Great list, youre doing the lords work
Praise Jesus! 🙏🏻 Thanks for the kind words!
Super mario rpg placing first over chrono trigger..... Absolutely criminal
Good video! A lot of great behind the scenes info on all of these.
Back when games were just games. You plug it in and it does what it's supposed to do. No internet connection, updates, microtransactions, etc. I'll always have a "nostalgia corner" wherever I live with a crt tv and a nice comfy couch with NES, SNES, Genesis, N64 and PS1 with an original Game boy and a game boy advance sp.
Man the music in this video is like nonstop amazing nostalgia.
