  • When Nintendo 64 was released in 1996 Nintendo still supported the Super Nintendo for a couple of years. Here are some games on SNES you may have missed as you may have been too busy with N64.

    I stuck with the SNES until 1999 and the main reason was because I worked at Target and they had a killer SNES collection for sale and they had a ton of $20 SNES games, so that kept me with the little gray and purple box.
    Ocarina of Time and Parasite Eve pushed me over to N64 and PlayStation but I still consider SNES to be the best console ever

      I mentioned this on another comment but we bought the SNES in 1998 when it was already on its way to getting discontinued. And I don't regret the decision because it has a massive library to choose from. You just had to go to whatever flea market close to you. That was a reason we also chose it over the Genesis.

    Great vid; one aspect is that in Europe, the n64 didn't launch until March 1997 so if you were a Nintendo fan at the time holding out for an N64, there was a strange - and very long period - where we'd be reading about all these next-gen titles in magazines but the shelves were still mostly filled with 16bit games - so a lot of those late titles make a lot of sense in the context of the european market. Importing consoles was pretty rare given the power and TV differences then.
    US gamers were very lucky at that time in terms of how early they got titles and the performance of NTSC over PAL games and I remember how jealous I was of them getting to play Mario 64 and so on months before us. I would spend hours reading about Mario 64 in magazines and trying to imagine what it was like to play just looking at the small, often blurry static images.

    The Donkey Kong Country trilogy wasn't claymation but CGI and they did so before even Toy Story came out, the first ever CGI animated feature film. DKC was out in 94, almost a whole year before TS, though in Sweden TS wasn't out until feburary 96 so it was shipping nine-ten months before DKC3 (which was released before the N64 here, EU didn't get it until march 97).

    If I recall, the N64 was difficult to get at first (I mean, for a lot of people, this was the first 3D system so it was HOT!!!). I vaguely remember people in 1997 having a hard time finding one too. Definitely by 1998, you could find stock in Wal-Mart daily. By 2002, they were trying to get rid of every last one they had on clearance! (making way for Xbox, PS2, and GameCube)!

    Donkey Kong Country 3 gets flack for being the “weakest” of the DKC trilogy on SNES.
    But honestly it gave you a lot more to do and provided more of a challenge than the previous two entries. You can’t say Rare got lazy with it just cause Nintendo 64 came out.
    And I still find Wrinkly Kong playing on an N64 with that 16 bit rendition of ‘Peach’s Castle 64’ very endearing. ❤️

    The 90s was kind of an odd decade in gaming. IT was a golden decade for gaming, some of the best games ever made were released in the 90's. I find it interesting how the decade is split down the middle with two of the greatest generations of home consoles ever. Pre-95, the industry was dominated by Nintendo and Sega, the 16-bit wars were in full swing, and we were gives some of the greatest games ever for that generation. Post-95, the industry was dominated by the next-gen consoles, ps1 & N64 (I know Sega had the Saturn, but 95 also signaled the beginning of the end for Sega). Some of the GOATS were released in this Gen. Mario and Zelda basically redefined how 3d games were approached and played. With ps1 and N64 duking it out till the end of the 90s, gamers were given the absolute creme of the crop.

The move into full 3D with the N64 was also some of the happiest times of my life. It was the 2000s that I started to feel kind of bored but nowadays I recognize that games are generally better than they've ever been (the Resident Evil 2, 3 and 4 remakes are the perfect example).

This was years before I saw the info online on Wikipedia. Also, I think that Donald Duck being Maui Mallard is like Duck Dodgers is to Daffy Duck, that's a character that he plays but still have the ducks personality coming through.

    I noticed this in a video I saw about the best games on each gen. And some picks were released the same year or after the next gen console. Sometimes huge titles. So confusing but I guess the number of previous consoles means higher potential to sell more than a new console.
    But yeah, thanks, gonna watch this video. I'm glad I found this.

    There was a game room in my building with SNES and Sega Mega 2 consoles and games, and then came N64 and Play Station, so "old" games and consoles were only for rent. After some time, my parents decide to buy SNES with some games: Super Mario World, Donkey Kong 3, Top Gear 3000, Power Rangers, and some Mickey and Donald game that never worked.
    As far as I'm concerned, I couldn't missed DK3 - because that was the only one I played for year to come =)

    Alpha 2 was a damn incredible port, especially the music! It’s a real love letter to the fans and a great send-off, considering the lengths the devs went through despite having almost no hope of turning a decent profit- and it was generally trashed in reviews if I recall.

      It's a really good outside of the loading issues, they needed a little longer in Q&A to sort out the loading issues (someone's released a rom hack that eliminates them on original hardware so it was within reach).

    I was always a generation behind since I was poor growing up. So I bought Street Fighter Alpha 2 and loved it although I was surprised to find giant pauses between levels since it was cartridge. Bright colors and so much responsive than Super SF2 Turbo. I remember getting the PS1 version and disappointed that they didn't keep the Sakura petals for super combo finishings. More petals the higher grade of combo you did. Other than that, the PS1 had bigger sprites, more colors and bigger sound.

    good game list mr riggs. i'll go so far as to say... that the first-year games on most consoles and the last-year games on most consoles are the best. example, first-year for snes had final fight, super mario world, contra 3, zelda 3, castlevania 4, gradius 3, super ghouls n ghosts.. just so many heavy hitters. a lot of the games later at the end of the snes life cycle were also pretty good with very good graphics. this is same for the genesis and nes as well.

    Your speculation on the Disney games are correct! Maui Mallard is clearly Donald Duck, but they wanted to use the image of Donald but without having to worry about the "history" of Donald (nephew of Scrooge McDuck, dating Daisy Duck etc), kinda use Donald as an actor instead of a character. Kinda shame it didn't work out, I liked Cold Shadow.
    And yes- Pinnochio was being taken out of the vault and was given a game to go along with it. Kinda curious if Robin Hood was ever taken out of the vault in a timely enough manner that he could've gotten an SNES / Mega Drive game...

The whole SNES game was built into the Gameboy cart and was accessible when plugged into the Super Gameboy.

Very close to being out in 2001, certainly quite late in the SNES/Super Famicom's life. And the Gamecube, was to come out in japan in a little under a year from then, further going to show how much of a late title that one. was

    With all these releases, I was happy with my Super Nintendo well into 1997-1998, and didn't feel the need of an upgrade. Street Fighter Alpha 2 had loading times, but I didn't care, it was so fun to learn and use so many characters and all the Super combos. Donkey Kong Country 3 was awesome as well, and I really don't get it when people call it a black sheep. For me it was on par with DKC2, and it's a lot more refined and advanced, in terms of gameplay, than DKC1. And of course, in the late 1990s, I also bought some older games that I had missed before, like F-Zero

    We had a rental place that for some reason kept buying NES games when the SNES came out because on your last video on this I remember renting A LOT of those games you talked about. These however I have only seen on emulation or years and years later. I think it might have been when the SNES came out they didn't have as many games to buy for it because SNES and NES was it for my rental place but when the N64 came out there was PS1 they could buy for also so they didn't buy any SNES games.
