DK fan, Fuck you asshole.

Top gear is severely underrated. Cybernator is also underrated.

You monkeysss uuuuncleeeee

Now Kirby's Dreamland 3 I have to disagree. Because for one it was late in the life cycle and the last first party game they did. It flew under the radar, the game did what it set out to do, look like a coloring book. The graphics are better than you stated, they had to use a different technique to implement that water color look. A lot of people love this game. Tell the Japanese it's overrated 😂. We can agree to disagree I agree with most of your content. Not Kirby 3 though it just didn't click with you.

the hype for donkey kong country is well deserved. sure the other parts of the series where better in some regards but usualy when people praise donkey kong country the mean the whole trilogy on the snes anyway. I personaly still like the original first part the most because its so iconic and has this nice basic story of the bad crocodile king stealing donkey kongs bananas and you go to the top of the mountain to defeat him on his pirate ship. its a perfect classic video game plot. the bosses especialy the first 3 are simple af but its all so well executed and not overdone... the controls, the music and the graphics still hold up today you can still play this and it still feels good even compared with modern jump&runs. f-zero and mario kart also still hold up. they still look good and they are still fun to play. top gear on the other hand just like road rash, pole position and other racing games in the same style where you dont actualy have a real racetrack but it feels like you are fixed on some kind of endless scroll or something.... sorry man thats just outdated trash. people maybe have nostalgic memories for it but racing games at the time needed the mode 7 rotational map to come alive. before that it really was the dark ages for racing games. it was useless, it played like ass and the games dont hold up today not even rad racer, super hang on or outrun. I would show them to a young kid to show them what old games were like but I wouldn't expect anybody to have fun with this stuff today.

Captain Astronaut I would say that FFV is not talked about or “underhyped,” due to the strange localization process with Final Fantasy games. There are still people who call Final Fantasy 6, #3 because that’s how it was released here. So V not being released in the US hurt it quite a bit I think. It’s still one of the franchise I’ve never really played but really want to... just gotta make time.

Honestly FFV is my favorite as well. FFV is just complained about because well FF fans like kinda dark and edgy melodramatic stories like VII. And FFV was very whimsical and light.

Captain Astronaut IKR

I liked playing ffv. But repeated playthroughs and no completion with that game just left me feeling hollow about it. I certainly like the gameplay, and the characters of the game. I've just played it so much that it just disinterested me. I would still put V as a really great game. But i'll come around to it some other time

As many other ff games i totally loved V as well. The music kicked ass and the job system made grinding a lot less tedious. Another thing i liked was it was a difficult final fantasy. You couldn’t just breeze right through it without a little training. The story wasn’t great but who cares?

Top Gear is great! I didn't like Super Mario Kart and never saw F-Zero back in the day, so this was my go to racing game.

It's a little funny... I live in Brazil too, and I find it so strange when Snesdrunk says Top Gear is underhyped. In my opinion, Top Gear is seriously overhyped here in Brazil. Everybody loses their shit when talking about Top Gear but I never found it to be so amazing of a racing game. I prefer f-zero much more.

Was the SNES a popular system in Brazil? I know that Mega Drive and Master System reigned supreme there, but was Nintendo popular there too? I'd love to know!

@TheOnionKingdom yes, it was huge. Very toe to toe fight with the Mega.

Im from Brazil and I played a lot of Top Gear. Never even met F-Zero when I was a kid...

I had heard great things about it and my friend had the cartridge in their collection so I gave it a try. Its been a few years but I just couldn't get into it. I am sure things would have been different if I had played it as a kid, as I would squeeze any and all redeeming characteristics out of a game if I rented it or owned it when I was young and bored. But as an adult playing it for the first time I found it had a few cool features, but the gameplay itself wasn't something I could get into.

Ikr it is a great game and it isn't very recognized

It is nice but honestly gets boring real quick. I find the gamebody and NES demon serie more fun.

lol I'd never even heard of it

Funny thing, he later praised it as a great game on the metroidvania style. Maybe he just didn't understood it at the time of the video.

music was better. levels had better flow. areas were unique yet made sense for the island. enemy design fit the level/world and didn't look like they were made of clay.

Me, too !

​@@lasafrogCome on, you two - that game goes to 101%, you missed some bonus area :)

people overhype it thanks to the "Arche fucks like a tiger" meme. Phantasia SNES is probably the worst version. Yes, worse than the GBA version. tbh if you want an ARPG on the SNES, stick with Illusion of Gaia or Terranigma. they're far better. Hell even SO1 is better, though I recommend First Departure R for that.

​@@GiordanDiodatoI'm actually quite liking Phantasia. The visuals and music are enough for me to paper over some shortcomings and the combat feels satesfying and relatively intuitive once you get the hang of it, and I didn't enjoy either of these things as much in the couple of hours or so I put into the PS version. Although the random encounter rate is indeed atrocious

It is, his opinion on that game is just wrong

@@surfthestreets86 nice! the perfect time. have fun with it, i know you will. 🎃

final fantasy 5 ancient cave hack is a must try. It makes the game infinitely better. Main prob with it is it takes too long to learn skills (dualcast for example 999 ap fughedaboutit), and some classes were useful, but to have a roguelike where you randomly get jobs that are much better than nothing (even blue mage and slow berserker are useful), it makes the game far more fun to play.

I honestly don't know how they made the PSX versions so awful.

@@zosxavius cashgrab

Do you have some Information about your Repro-card. I'm looking for a PAL Version and have no clue what to pay attention

GBA version IS the definitive version (let's see how the Pixel Remaster will be). Yeah,yeah,yeah. Horrible audio. If you haven't figured it out, there's a sound restoration patch, too.

He didn't play that game trough back then. He speaks of that game much highly nowadays

Exactly lmao

I loved this game, played through it several times!

He's right though, DC is overhyped

Hope you kept the original packaging...! 😁 It is worth more than my whole SNES collection 😂

Agreed. Although I *thoroughly* recommend everyone try the English translation of the PS1 version if you haven't already. I love this game too, but the PS1 version is superior in nearly every way, while still keeping the feel of the SNES original.

Agree with you on Demon's Crest. One of the best Snes Gems.

u scared of Demons, boy ?

MrVarhansen I'm a 32 year old man. Not scared of demons, I just don't really like demonic shit in my games.

totally.

Demons are awesome and totally made the game better fitting the gothic theme perfectly.

Art style and music are some of the games best aspects.

Agreed, Dream Land 3 deserves the love it gets. I love the game's music and graphics so much.

I always thought it was the most re-playable of the Kirby games from that era. SNESdrunk calls it "Slow" but I feel like you have a lot more control with your movement in that game, the other games were the ones that feel slow.

Yeah completely disagree with SNESdrunk, I felt like the “slow” gameplay made me enjoy the game much more and I was able to enjoy all the levels throughly. also, l loved each puzzle to get the heart stars and it’s actually pretty smart. Also, the boss fights are pretty challenging and the art is so cute! There’s a reason why it’s my favorite Kirby game and I was born in 2004 :3, I literally found this game on KZfaq on thanksgiving and it changed my life, and plus It inspired me to do research on video game graphics as well, if it wasn’t for this game, I don’t think I would be this video game crazy 💖💖💖

@@Sazandora123 honestly it feels like Dreamland 3 is overshadowed by the overrated Super Star

just cause it is for u it doesn’t mean it’s for everyone else fuck off and stop taking shit so personal

I agree. This guy is an idiot...

@@kennethkline7702 Which one??

@@bud9450 The person making the vid.

Just the opening scene is worth playing it for to be honest. Its worth a longer play than that though. The graphics and design are awesome. So is the soundtrack. Its part of the Ghosts 'n Goblins series. That alone makes it worth at least a play through.

It was the first fucking game.

@@AwesomeHairo So was Super Metroid. That's not an excuse.

+stucazzo2000 I remember Bubsy being advertised everywhere. My worst SNES experience as a kid was SimEarth, by far.

+SNES drunk I never played SimEarth, Simant on the PC was fun. :)

+SNES drunk SimEarth was notable in that it's one of the few games that carried a warning of sorts in Nintendo Power. It was diplomatically put, but NP basically called it boring. I got a mere handful of hours out of SimEarth. One of the worst gaming experiences of my life.

Bubsy is badass

Bubsy Clawed Encountered with the Furred Kind is a pretty awesome game

Over FF6? Super Metroid came out 1994. FF4 is probably the only Final Fantasy that I would give GOTY.

FF6 is the most overhyped one tbh.

Super Metroid was underhyped when it came out

@@mistertagomago7974 nah

@@DanSutherland disagree. A Link to the Past (was released in 1991 in Japan) is better

Yeah he has some decent insight most of the time, but I can't agree completely either, Final Fantasy V is one of the worst games Ive ever played. This comes from a huge FF fan who has played every single one save XV yet.

Jet Diamond V is my favorite FF, but I only like 1 through 6 at all -- the fancier the graphics, the worse the SquareSoft/Square/SquareEnix game has felt to me. 7 breaks the traditional damage system and 8 just bastardizes it -- and it's just downhill from there (to me). 5 took the brilliant concept of thr job system of 3 (real 3, not 6/"3 USA") and made it totally custom and ground-breaking. Were some elements of 5 a little corny? Sure, but so what? It was awesome!

[Feels bad for the person who says V is the worst FF but hasn't played XV yet.] Then again, my opinion is of no real import, and I thought the series' best were V-IX, except for VII. [Equips Flame Shield/ Slots Elemental with Fire materia in armor / Junctions 100x Firaga to ElemDef]

@@Nyonics I'll pick any other final fantasy over the 13 trilogy

they thought it was "too difficult" for American audiences.

100% agreed

I really enjoyed tales of phantasia as well. Other than Donkey Kong Country, this is the only other mention on his list that I disagree with

cant understand your points about tales of phantasia. like in many games you cant remember everything about a story, but the endimg in top is somehow ... very interesting. even the battle system is interessting and somehow funny and not every enemies or boss is easy sometimes you rly need good tactics to win.

We don't talk about that one...

Yeah, I think “not as good” is what he has been implying, not saying it is bad

Top Hat Gaming Man ummm FFIV and FFVI are far superior products.... graphics to start..... narrative second.... FFV is easily one of the 3 worst FF titles..... while it's SNES peers IV & VI are arguable the best titles in the series.

@@Skyhighdn Well said.

You're saying 4 is better than 5? Come on. Cecil went from badass dark knight to stupid near useless paladin. Worst main character ever

Pretty sure it was just a hardware limitation. The sound cards back then were integrated right into the motherboard and for cost effectiveness (seriously I've got a magazine advertisement saved on my computer right now from the 80's/early90's advertising a 10mb hard drive for over three grand) relatively simple with few channels. The personal computer was still an enthusiast device back then, all hardware was pricey as a result.

+Vitor Icewall Thanks for watching Vitor

:)

SNES drunk No thanks Drunk. The man's right.

I enjoyed Donkey Kong Country 1 more than Super Mario World...

It’s overhyped as hell. Good game but not a masterpiece.

Lol same, kinda seems like he thinks its "overhyped" because he kept dying and felt like he NEEDED to 100% it which newsflash, you don't.

yeah the SNES version is probably the worst version.

lol ikr?

+Arctica171 The Super Famicom version of Phantasia is flawed from inconvenient apporach to melee battles against aerial enemies to poorly planned learned magic order (Have fun going through Ymir's Forest/Treant's Forest with only 15 panacea bottles). FFV put attention to combat in a way many entries wouldn't dare to do today and... gave you options to play however you like, not even FFIII gave you such opportunity. FFV gets overlooked because people want to play a game for story and not to play the game itself, so naturally it doesn't get much attention.

I started Phantasia years ago but never got far. It seemed great though. FF5 though is in my multi-tie for favorite with 8 and 6.

Zicconnuts I don’t think people overlook FFV for any reason other than it wasn’t released in the west until very recently. When I was younger we didn’t even know it existed, due to Square’s weird localization process. I was so confused when FFVII came out for a long time... “Final Fantasy VII! Wait did I miss something?” - 12 year old me.

+XiongGou Final Fantasy V has been available in the west since 1999 being part of the Anthology compilation, though released near the end of the PS1 life-cycle. That being said, it was a bad port of the SFC version with bad sound quality and localization, on top of having need to load.

Lol thats kinda how I feel actually, a good example being ff7 over the other ps1 ffs... but that's because it's not that ff7 is a bad game, it's actually great- it's that the others which are also great are completely overlooked

Honestly, about Demon's Crest he's probably right.

@@Verbalaesthet How much hype did Demon's Crest even get? Donkey Kong Country was promoted through the roof. Demon's Crest was something I almost never heard of.

And X3 somehow. The general consensus is that it's the weakest X game on the SNES.

I felt the same about Bahamut Lagoon. I got so bored that I had to drop it. I absolutely loved Tales of Phantasia the first time I played it in 2006, and even after playing the newer versions I can still enjoy it.

I do have to admit that in part it was my perfectionist, min-maxy type of gameplay that helped me get bored of it, it's specially worse with tactical games. It's a great game though, the music is really good, I wish I had the patience to finish it nowadays, along with Front Mission.

I wouldn't say it's generic, it's just not FF6/CT level. You can't really tell much in the future of ToP's plot, you can't really tell what's coming next, the ending caught me COMPLETELY off guard! lol

That's what I was thinking, he probably played the PS1/GBA version, and automatically assumed the SNES fan translation by Dejap had the same dialogue. I still think the dialogue is one of the best parts of the snes version, if you have the Dejap translation applied.

i did love FF5 though. dont get me wrong on that

Joshua Read sadly I did not get to experience neither game....someday...

It's only overhyped because it never came out in the States. There's nothing special about it other than the graphics were pretty good when it INITIALLY came out IN JAPAN.

YES agreed.

huitard2 The good characters of Phantasia are Dhaos, Klarth and Arche

The characters in Final Fantasy VI beg to differ. Many of them are flawed or at least imperfect and have a level of depth that was unreached by many games of its time. While you may or may not have liked the game, it did have great characters.

+SufamiDan Thanks for watching

My pleasure. Love the channel.

DKC is the best of the 3, and one underhyped game that is great and still awesome today is goof troop

5's soundtrack sounds like a little kid banging on an electric keyboard.

@@themerovingian4252 nice joke.

@@themerovingian4252 Bruh

I also pefer DKC over Super Mario World but saying there's no level variety in SMW is simply a lie.

Thirteen 1355 finally someone who gets it. Both DKC1 and SMW were groundbreaking but while the former was beaten to dust by DKC 2 and 3, the latter got demolished by the existence of SMB 3 and the whole DKC series. Oh, and Yoshi's Island, though a completely different story, made original, unhacked SMW obsolete forever

I don't agree with SMW being bland.

Have a good rest of your day

Dude, the things you brought up about Demons Crest were total bs. It had multiple endings based on your choices in game, multiple different demon forms with different abilities, rpg elements, and great music, all things that were pretty novel at the time.. You complained that you have to play levels over again, but you neglected to mention that you do so with different forms and it unlocks new areas. Its painfully obvious that you just played the game a little bit, and then made it fit your narrative for the video. Try again.

"Its painfully obvious that you just played the game a little bit, and then made it fit your narrative for the video." Oh please. Demon's Crest has its own video on this same channel. "You complained that you have to play levels over again, but you neglected to mention that you do so with different forms and it unlocks new areas" That's right it did, and the level design STILL was not a good enough match with all those cool abilities. That's my entire point, the level design did not hold up its end of the bargain. But, you're still under this weird impression that I'm calling it a bad game. Demon's Crest is not a bad game. The entire point of this channel is about managing expectations for the player. You recommend it, but I'd rather play something like Sparkster. There's nothing inherently wrong with that.

Im just saying I dont think its overhyped, its hyped for good reason. I mean how many games have you played like that of that era? It was original on many fronts. Also, I cant stand that Sparkster, when I first played it was on an emulator and I was like is this some fan-made knock off of Rocket knight Adventures (genesis)? I loved Rocket Knight Adventures though.

I'm with DrStabkill on this one

This might be an unpopular opinion. But I like X6 more than X3 & X7.

+Ghost7856 Final Fantasy V definitely has a stupid storyline, but its combat at least make up for it. I love the job system and that's really the only thing that makes me come back to it.

whaaaat i thought the storyline was cool in FF5. i mean sure it's simple, with the crystals and all, but shit got REAL in that game dude lol. I thought the whole Faris being a woman thing was kind of stupid though. But not stupid enough at the time to make me think the storyline sucked. I tend to look at games more of how I enjoyed them at the time of playing though, not by todays standards.

FF5 is cool, but I wish there was more of an incentive to play around with the jobs end game. Why would you not have a party full of Mimics with S-shot?

FF IV is vastly superior to V. The only thing anyone ever talks about when referencing V is the job system. People have fetishized it into something it's not. Just because a game had a different gimmick, but literal garbage story, and literal garbage overall plot/game progression (how many times were you forced to warp back and forth between "realms" or "worlds" or whatever?) Its an insane way to drag out a needlessly long game. And on the topic of "but muh job system" for Christ's sake, III did this years before and yet most people act like II (which has its own problem for sure, but not like V, at least it has a compelling, if basic, story) and III don't exist! V is a mockery to me, of the entire series. It's not even witty enough to be a satire or self referential parody, because it doesn't commit to that. It literally half-asses everything compared to other games before it, with its one trick pony gimmick, that everyone likes to tip their fedora to, which in and of itself, while perhaps somewhat forward thinking in design, is not even that useful, as others have pointed out. There really isnt much incentive to swap around jobs or play in creative ways. Yeah, I guess you CAN make a party of 4 time mages, but would I ever want to? Not really. This game is traumatically bad compared to other Final Fantasy games, ESPECIALLY IV which actually has a beautiful story and themes for something told through chibi sprites. V falls between the asscrack of IV and VI, both games that have vastly much more to offer in terms of an experience, which is what RPG's and Final Fantasy in particular, are supposed to be about. Not grinding away hopping back and forth through the same worlds wasting your life away for a retarded nonsensical story about a guy named, "Butz". Its as if the programmers knew the whole game was like a stupid fucking fart joke in the midst of the actual intellectual conversation that are the Final Fantasy games.

Ghost7856 i should slap you silly. FFIV invented the idea of story telling through typed narrative. Still probably the best story of the FF series.... also one of the best endgame sequences. I can admit the gameplay is very linear. Although it is also the first final fantasy to have complete dungeons for optional summons.... slyph/bahamut. Also two of the best FF characters come from IV... Cecil and kain. IV & VI stand in a league of their own for SNES..... V belongs with mystic quest..... just straight inferior

Just the right amount of hyped: Donkey Kong Country 2

None of the DKC games is overhyped

Donkey Kong 3 is way to hard and has some of the most bs levels. The lightning level is one that I will never forgive Nintendo for
