I don't think I've ever been sold on a channel in only 1/3 of one video until now. The peppered in humor is fantastic.

Growing up during the console wars, I was a Super Nintendo guy. A ridiculous amount of memories with the SNES, so many amazing games. Whenever a snowstorm hits and we’re stuck in the house, me and my daughter play Link to the Past, Super Castlevania IV and Super Mario World all day.

I am convinced retro bird is some kind of weird alien that came to earth during the 80s and his master plan is to get people to play old games and eat bananas.

Not only does the snes have a crazy great library, so many more of the games (compared to NES) allowed you save your progress and pick it up later. For games like Super Metroid and Zelda - A Link to the Past, that's HUGE.

Your passion for Goof Troop is infectious; after having written it off for years but now seeing it represented in several of your videos, I decided to track down a complete copy earlier this year. When it arrived, my sister came over and we played it through start to finish and had a blast!

Donkey Kong country was simply a Master piece of it's day

If I was your neighbor, I'd join you in a Super Soaker battle.

Snes is my fave console. My gma taught me how to read playing Mario RPG and Chrono Trigger. She passed away when I was 9 from cancer. It's a big part of how I preserve her memory playing my snes and collecting for it.

Chrono Trigger. My personal favorite 16-bit RPG. Some would say it's rather... Timeless...

This channel is highly underrated. Comedy mixed with nostalgia. Yes sir! This is the channel for me. Zelda ALTTP and Mario RPG are 2 games that never get old

I really love your sense of humour and how you insert all these skits in-between your info, really elevates the entire video :D

You briefly mentioned it, but Super Metroid is ultimately my favorite game on SNES. So I'd highlight that one. Its influence also cannot be disputed.

Some good choices here 🙂 Here's a list of other great SNES games that never get old for me: - Donkey Kong Country - Turtles in Time - Street Fighter II Turbo - Super Smash TV - Sunset Riders - Top Gear 3000 - Kirby Super Star - Sensible Soccer - Mario Allstars

I have to write this comment: I found your channel because algorithm recommended it to me and I gotta say - I'm absolutely positively in love with all the content you produce. You deserve a lot more subscribers for all the care you put in every detail of your videos and for an immensely positive way of covering different topics and overall outlook on things. I mean, you sir, are truly a masterful presenter and are very fun to watch too! Subscribed and can't wait to see more of your videos and more people giving you the recognition you deserve!

Oof gotta say I definitely winced at the sight of you downing ketchup water....

Honestly, the SNES is still one of my favorites. It has aged beautifully. It was like the perfect evolution from the original NES. It took the groundwork from the original NES and just made it even better! Unfortunately, I didn't get an SNES until later in my childhood, but a friend of mine let me play his and the SNES constantly had me in awe at all the amazing games in its library. One of my absolute favorites is the puzzle game *Tetris Attack* I still remember renting the game on a whim as a pre-teen and playing it non-stop. It is one of those games that is easy to learn, but hard to master. Although, there are still dozens more SNES games that I still revisit to this day!

Almost 40 now. My best friend and I have never stopped playing snes almost every weekend for about 30 years now... still having a lot of fun!

'fun, now theres something that never stops being fun' genius

Dude, you are hilarious! I can’t help feel stupid when I bust out laughing to myself every time I watch your videos! 🤣🤙

Super Metroid is pretty good! Also started on Donkey Kong Country recently, enjoying it so far!

As much as I love the 2D sprite based games, I feel the original Star Fox is worth mentioning. It's still my favorite in the series. The gameplay is excellent and I honestly like the blocky polygon graphics. They give the game a unique look that adds to the charm in my opinion. And the music and sound effects are outstanding. It's short length makes it an easy choice to replay every now and then, and the 3 different paths add a lot of challenge and replay value as well. I still have yet to beat the hardest one after all these years.

King of Dragons and Total Carnage are a couple of games that I keep going back to and never get tired of. Timeless classics!

Wow, I've never seen Goof Troop get so much love! It's definitely a hidden gem and the music and sound design in particular are really memorable. I think it might be the first co-op game I ever played and it holds a special place in my heart.

You can't forgot Super Mario Kart.. The one where it all started. When that game first came out I was hooked on it for weeks maybe even months. Trying to beat every track every cup with each character. Trying to get the best score and time on tracks. The battle modes were fun. My older brother hated playing me in battles. And the tremendously satisfying feeling of knocking your opponents out the way with a red turtle shell or even a green one if you get the timing right.

My personal go-to is E.V.O., great music, original concept that still hasn't really been replicated and tons of replayability with all the evolution paths

I'd like to highlight one game and that's The Legend of the Mystical Ninja. Beautiful sprites. Has that fun Japanese charm. Memorable music. Great platforming. Awesome boss fights. Exploring the world and levels is a delight. It's fun in single player mode, but it's just downright a blast and hilarious with two players.

Actually I still play the SNES/ Super Fam , because I'm catching up on games I missed during the 90's, also the Genesis/Mega drive as well

Man, you are an absolute goof. Thank you for making me smile while taking me for a trip down memory lane. -80s baby

Super Ghouls & Ghosts, F-Zero and Dracula X(yes, that Castlevania) will always hold a special place in my heart!

Great video retro bird! So many great snes games! I'd go with super mario RPG, DKC 2 and earthbound. For something a little less known I'd suggest checking out smartball. Great snes hidden gem

PLOK is one of my all time favorite snes games. This game gives motivation through a hard day

Super Punch-Out is a Super Nintendo game that I come back to very often to have a few minutes of fun barreling through a handful of opponents.

Last weekend I sat down for a casual super Metroid playthrough. I managed to get the varia suit early, and I felt on top of the world at that moment.

Going door to door with the Get On My Lawn hat.... 👌

SNES was my childhood system, and I still love it today. I've heard European's say the North American SNES is ugly, but in my opinion, I never really saw it that way. But I can see why European's say that. They got the same shell design as the Super Famicom.

Super soaker is worth a whole video on its own

I just finished playing Zelda: A Link To The Past recently, it is truly a masterpiece and the combat was way ahead of it's time 🤩

NHL 95 is amongst my favorites, always fun to fire up in practice mode and play one-on-one with various teams.

I lost it when my man started drinking water ketchup.

DK Country was my JAM. Super Mario and Mario Kart were always in the lineup too

You forgot TMNT 4 Turtles in Time.. It's one of the best co-op games on the system that kids can get into real quick. One thing is everybody loves ninja turtles. Two is it's easy to pick up and play. And three it's just down right a fun play through.

The Goof Troop love is appreciated. TMNT 4: Turtles in Time is the most replayable game in the franchise bar Shredder’s Revenge. SNES has several all time great RPGs but most of all Chrono Trigger, FF4, FF6, Earthbound and SMRPG. And of course Super Metroid and DKC2 all platforming perfection and Tetris Attack is such a great puzzle game.

2:43 that's some dedication my man!!

Super Nintendo truly is one of the best gaming consoles in history It's one of those gaming consoles that shows how much technology evolves giving us some impressive visuals and many wonderful games that are timeless classics. I love the Super Nintendo. Cool video. ^_^

Great list! I'd add F-Zero to the list for racing fans - such a great game which can be played in short bursts but which takes a long time to master.

Your humor always has me making sure I catch the latest video. Keep up the passion, it's the best youtube has to offer for retro gaming talk.

I introduced my 8 year old son the A Link to the Past and it's one of his favorite games. He's 12 now and speedruns randomizers that can put any item in any chest or pot. Shout out to Andy Laso for getting us both started on the randomizer thing.

I always go back to Sunset Riders, Battletoads in Battlemaniacs, Top Gear, Street Fighter II Turbo and Megaman X2

Super Mario RPG will continue to age like wine. I enjoy a glass once a year or so.

God I love Goof Troop! My mom and I always rented that and played together. I still play it to this day on my emulator.

Some of my all-time favorites, I have owned four out of five of them since childhood. Goof Troop was always my second favorite co-op game for SNES after Zombies Ate My Neighbors. Super Mario World, Mega Man X, and A Link to the Past are my favorite installations in each series.

One of the best retro gaming channels ever, you're so hilarious and assertive at the same time, thank you for this very enyoable content, it helps to cope with dull days and also enjoy spare time even more. New suscriber!

Just now starting to play Rocket Knight adventures. Thanks to this channel. It's a classic that I've never picked up. I just completed Super Mario World on GBA and finally got all the dragon coins finally after about 15 years of the game being out.

I haven't played SNES for so long. I mean for so many years. But there's one game (for SNES) that I always remember that was beyond amazing: "Zelda 3". Such a masterpiece! I hope I can play that game soon again!

Really enjoyed the content and your sense of humor shining through in this one.

Super Metroid, Chrono Trigger, contra 3, the Final Fantasys, and Gundam Wing (MY first import game) along with your suggestions. All timeless.

Me and my friend used to play Goof Troop all the time, such an amazingly fun and simple game.

Hahaha. Using DKC2 (literally my favorite SNES game) for the highlight bit at the end. Well played. You have a cool sense of humour, and I like your retro game content. Subscribed.

Goof Troop! ❤ I have some amazing memories with that game. And indeed, it's still as fun as ever! UniRacers is also one of those games that's still a lot of fun to play with friends today.

3:55 Retro Bird defying gravity!

Super Metroid. My favorite game of all time. It's the most immersive 2d game I've ever played, and at one point when I was younger I would play through this game pretty much once a week. I recently played it again to prepare for finally buying a Switch to play Metroid Dread, and IMO it hold up just as well today as it ever did.

That burned disc dreamcast joke was golden, they run so slow , but God was it great.

First, kudos that you give drinking water such a positive image in many of your vids, I really love that👍. BTT: The Super NES, was the first console my two brothers and me put our pocket money on to afford it together. And as you already stated in this video, these games have aged superb IMHO. Finding a Top 5, not an easy one, since you already picked my favorite ones 😂. 1)Mario Kart: This is definitely a candidate for me. Even my mother loved to play it and it was a game that defined a whole new genre. Many tried to copy this formula some failed and some came out greater (like Crash Team Racing or Sonic All Star Racing). 2) Street Fighter 2, a great fighting game which brought Arcade feeling home. 3) Asterix and Obelix a cool Jump And Run with some "beat em up" influence and this is Coop playable. 4) Turtles In Times Yes, again a beat em up but great to play together. 5) The Super Star Wars games Technically these are three games, but these run and gun games are still fun to play nowadays. And last but not least, a little bit off topic: it's great to see your channel is growing and how many people you are reaching. You are good guy and your vids give so much joy in a world where things don't look that lovely.

Glad I found this channel. Bringing the fun back to life 😂

Found your channel, laughed a lot, subbed. Keep up the good work!

Super Metroid, Link to the Past, Demons Crest, Super Ghouls n Ghosts, Super Mario World, Mega Man X, Final Fantasy 2&3, Street Fighter 2, and Final Fight are my top 10 in no particular order and can still play them all today even though I’ve been playing PS5 for almost a year. They really take me back to my high school days (90-94’) and hold up exceptionally well !!!SEGA!!!

Too many games to name great times during the Console War thanks as always Retro Bird

Water is what we were drinking while gaming back then. Now it’s Mountain Dew and coors lite

I CONSTANTLY go back to StarFox and F-Zero. The Vibrant Colors and the Music are what Blew my mind when the SNES first popped up at my local KB TOYS, especially as a SEGA kid.

Love your videos man... always so amusing and informative!

Matthew should cosplay as Daemon Targaryen. He has resemblance to him and Al Bundy.

How have I only just discovered this channel??? Great stuff! Keep it up x

For me, it's definitely a holy quintet (pun intended) of Super Mario World, Kirby Super Star, Earthbound, Super Metroid, and Sword Blazer. Those are timeless treasures that I think we'll be coming back to again and again for years to come!

Turtles in Time is the game I always go back to

Keeping a banana behind your Sega games is like keeping a chill dog behind your Nintendo games.

Thanks for the video. First time seeing your channel and loved your sense of humour.

Since no one has mentioned it yet, Nintendo actually did release a modern Mario side-scroller called New Super Mario Bros. U. It was released on the Wii U back in 2012 and was fun because it was a 5 player game. I played it with my wife and we jokingly called it the relationship tester as you can easily cause the demise of another player if everyone playing doesn't work together. It was a blast though and I think you can buy it on Switch now.

I didn't complete earthbound, and super metroid until I revisited them in my mid thirties. They still hold up very well.

I think it's my second favorite console of all time. There are so many truly iconic games on the system. I think my favorite is chrono trigger even if that is a cliche answer.

I love they way you talk and the examples you give - quite funny (for some of us at least)

I’ve never played Goof Troop. I’m adding that to my list of pick ups! Thanks for another awesome video!

Goof Troop was probably the best co-op game on SNES hands down! Tied with Snake, Rattle, N' Roll on NES

Goof Troop I didn't remember that game. I will get it and play it again. Thank you!

Great vid, I'm a Sega guy through and through...but the SNES is one of the best consoles off all time with the library to go along with that. Picking 5 games for it that will always be be fun is only hard b/c there's so much awesome stuff in the library. I'm going to go with SMW, F-Zero, A Link To The Past, Final Fantasy III, and Super Street Fighter II. Still, there's just so many classics on the SNES.

Just as a note, I think Nintendo is in a weird spot with 2D Mario games. They did the whole lazy as heck “New Super Mario” thing (which admittedly could have done a LOT more to push the genre forward). But once they made Super Mario Maker, I struggle to see them besting what the community has made with rather simple tools. So unless they want to do a whole Yoshi’s Island thing and completely rethink the series, they might not do anything with it again. Also of note, Nintendo’s internal teams are split up very specifically. The team that makes 2D Mario games are also the team that makes Pikmin. That’s why we are finally getting a new Pikmin for the first time in years: no new 2D Mario game in awhile. My guess is they started working on Pikmin 4 several different times over the years but started in earnest after the DLC for SMM2 was completed back in 2020. So yeah, I’ll be very interested to see what that team does next after Pikmin 4 ships.

I have all these games for this exact reason lol. i never tire of them Edit: i love showing new people these games and i try to remind them that if it seems natural to me it is because ive beaten them all completely a dozen times lol

I would definitely highlight Super Metroid, Prince of Persia, Zelda Link to the Past, and Donkey Kong Country 2 on the SNES. Those are honestly some of my favorite games of all time.

That clip @1:44 is hilarious, true dedication, bravo

I couldn't watch you drink that tomato water but I'm glad you did. The one game I went back to the most was Killer Instinct, I had to pull off those ultras.

I remember renting Goof Troop on Christmas Eve 1993… and beating it in one sitting. Great memories.

Goof troop is one I have in my collection, love it

super mario rpg is one that i've come back to so many times. There's so much replay value with team selection and also stat allocation. Maybe trying an all flower power upgrade playthough, etc

Totally agree about Contra 3. Tried playing it with my friend but he kept dying.

My top 5 SNES games are Super Double Dragon, Street Fighter 2, Super Ghouls n Ghosts, The Legend of Zelda a Link to the past, F-Zero 👍😎🎮

first time I see your videos, but I love the humor in this!

Less well known but infinitely charming is Big Sky Trooper. A Lucas Arts game that isn't star wars but still takes place in space.

2 of my favorite games of all time are on the SNES, Mario World and Link to the Past. Those two are timeless masterpieces of design both artistic and gameplay. There's a ton of other greats, but those are two i can replay every year and be engrossed. Never played Goof Troop or Castlevania IV, so off i go to pick one up. One game i would throw up on your list is Secret of Mana.

Great list, I would definitely add Super Metroid & Chrono Trigger

Man, I'm really not qualified to talk about this. I really like a lot of SNES games that most people would consider unplayably dated. I remain a big fan of F-Zero, Stunt Race FX and even Starwing (which runs a lot worse than the 60Hz Star Fox). The 2D platformers are typically the most universally welcoming. The 16-bit era was probably the best for cartoon licences, and there's a lot of great surprises if you go digging through them. Aladdin is one of my favourites on the SNES, and Inspector Gadget's surprisingly really fun too.
