Being a 90s kid was such a blessing and how controllers would last back then because they were made to withstand raging and all the messy food fingers when you'd have friends over, not to mention the wires that would rarely ever break. There was something about the relationship with the controller and the character you were playing as. It was just immersive without a doubt.

1994 was absolutely epic for the SNES, and is one of my favorite years ever in gaming. I had a great time back then. I'd say my three favorite years in gaming were 1994, 1996, and 2007 due to how many incredible and different games came out during those years. Games I still play today.

Really enjoying this series. 1994 was indeed a monumental year for the SNES. DK Country, Super Metroid, Super Punch-Out, Mega Man X, Demon's Crest, etc. So many great releases came out that year. People forget how big of a deal Donkey Kong Country was. Before that release Genesis and SNES sales were pretty much neck and neck. DK Country was the title that pushed the SNES ahead and gave a 2nd wind to the SNES. It was a system seller for sure and many people who had not bought a SNES up until that point finally made the plunge and bought the console. That said I think 1995 was a low key amazing year for the SNES as well. DKC 2, Final Fight 3, Kirby's Dreamland 3, Earthbound, Super Mario World 2 Yoshi's Island, Chrono Trigger, Secret of Evermore, Lufia 2, Tetris Attack, Mega Man 7, and more.

I’m one of those people who would say that Donkey Kong Country 1 was overrated. I’m pretty old and I preferred the original and that’s what Nintendo put out around that time! Donkey Kong 94 for the GB was a much more clever and lengthy game. Despite being a four color screen the stages had more verity than DK Country and was over all a much more engaging game. That and Yoshi’s Island easily ate DK Country’s lunch. It took a lot to impress teenaged me in 1994. But for me Genesis still did a lot of what Nintendo took a long time to do. Great Coverage as always!

Man, I understand the love... somewhat. I went from 2600 which I barely understood how to hook up, and set modes and all that. But once you got into it, even on a basic level, you could have fun. Then it was NES. That thing rocked. Probably the best console ever made. Everything just worked. Super Nintendo never hit me the same way. What's that rhinestone thing? A bedazzler? It kinda felt like a cheap coat of paint when they really could have expanded. But that's just me. At ten I was too young to say get off my lawn, but I suppose a curmudgeon starts early. Snes brought a lot of people a lot of joy, and that's what is important.

@IMDLEGEND 9 ай бұрын

Yes! I was more of a Sega Genesis guy but in 94 Nintendo brought the hammer! I picked up my SNES in 93 when the price dropped to $99, and I was so happy with 94! For me it was all about DKC and Mortal Kombat II. With DKC I was wondering why nothing on the Sega attachments or more powerful systems looked as good as that. And when I first heard Aquatic Ambience, it sounded like a CD player was somehow snuck into my SNES! I was also so happy that Nintendo stopped sanitizing their game that year! MK2 was epic! Finally, I was blown away by Super Mario All Stars because it was the first time I recalled seeing a full remaster of a previous game, a trend that continues to this day. 94 was indeed the best SNES year but 92 and 95 were strong contenders too.

Don’t listen to the haters, you’re a staple in my subs! Ghoul Patrol name I think was more to influence parents at the time. They figured they should market a new game because mom would say “I already bought you zombies ate my neighbor”. Different era, different marketing. We thought about new releases differently.

Late to the party, but you guys rock. Did you guys ever subscribe to or collect Ninteno Power? My parents thought it was a waste of money so my buddy would let me borrow some of his issues to read. I feel like I really missed out on that. Keep up the good work gentlemen.

@GamingOffTheGrid 2 ай бұрын

Never subscribed as a kid because my parents wouldn't let me. I had a neighbor who had a few that I looked at. I since have got a pretty decent collection of them. So cool to read through.

I remember news clips of upset parents that there was no backwards compatibility. Sega had the Power Base converter but no one really cared about the SMS in the US. Kind of wild Nintendo never budged and only gave us the Super Game Boy. While their handheld systems always embraced their prior generation with backwards compatibility, it wasn't until the Wii that a home console would have it.

Back in 95 someone gifted me a SNES and I thought it was ok ehm... gotta be honest here im not much of a Nintendo fan. Then in 97 I got PS1... the more mature Lara Croft, RE games, MGS... was more for me lol. SNES was alright. I used to like the helicopter Strike games. Donkey Kong Country was the first time graphics impressed me. So I have love for the SNES even if not my main thing.

Dude I totally get it. Same boat but it happened in Gen 6 for me. I was all about GTA and PS2. Nintendo seemed like it was for babies at the time. Later in life I realized all I missed on the Game Cube and Wii. Cheers 🍻

Heck yeah Donkey Kong Country! My first SNES Game I got as a kid and as of now, the only game i've ever completed a No Death Run. Aquatic Ambience is incredible but ask me on the right day and i might say Stickerbrush Symphony from DKC2 is just as good.

Thats a good one to No Death Fun! DKC2 is epic also but the original will always have my heart! 🍻

1994 was mostly amazing for so much of popular culture. Television gave us Gargoyles; movies gave us Speed, Shawshank Redemption and Lion King; music gave us Warren G, "Dookie" by Green Day, and "Superunknown" by Soundgarden; video games gave us these! ...But you do realize you used Final Fantasy IV's box art for Final Fantasy VI, right??? too many sports games or something?

The only thing I disagreed with is that I think NBA jam was better on the Genesis mostly for the fact that it had A LOT more of the announcer voice samples than the SNES version did and it had music, which the SNES version lacked.

Thats probably fair! My nostalgia pulls me to the SNES version! 🍻

I'd definitely agree, Sega really fumbled those last few years of the Genesis and Nintendo just went into absolute beast mode from 1994 until the Nintendo 64 came out, and even after the they still were making major titles. You could say Nintendo pulled a rope-a-dope, let Sega use up all their energy on shitty games made by Sega Technical Institute, and a bunch of add-ons nobody harly bought, and then just bam bam bam and knocked Sega out at the very end of the generation with major kick ass titles.

You guys touch on sports titles in this vid and I'm curious if you ever played NBA live 99 cause it is so stinking good. I was young when my dad came home with a ps1 he picked up at a garage sale with Croc, Glover, Ape escape etc Also there was nba live 99 and I was *not* a sports fan. That is, until I plugged it in an could not stop playing it, and while I watch your channel, I put cpu vs cpu (utah jazz v chicago bulls) 12 minute quarter games on in the background just for ambience and nostalgia. These are just some thoughts, because in some of your vids you guys overall claim that ps1 doesn't exactly hold up super well in your opinion. Again just thoughts and perhaps a suggestion... I know theres a ton of territory to get through and I don't expect a response or anything... I love this channel for when I can't be with my few gaming friends or its late at night on a school night, it feels like I'm sitting down with my 2 friends. Thanks for giving me a place to go and keeping me company I just cannot get enough.
