PART TWO: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rMmSlcRe0r7KhYU.html

This video needs 19 sequels. Kthx. Awesome video as always.

Shovel Knight was recently released, and while the design is meant to look more like an NES game, it's definitely an old school platformer much like Mega Man or Ducktales that could still be perfect for the SNES

Thank you, for making videos like this. I'm in my late 30s and only in the last year and a half have I got back into gaming after stopping in my early 20s. I found this after your recent part 2 video you made. I'm so behind the times I was like "What the Hell is Steam?" So I really appreciate a video like this one. There's a lot of awesome stuff out there now but it's a bit overwhelming and my tastes tend to run similar to these sorts of games as my favorite systems growing up where the Genesis/Super Nintendo/TurboGrafx era of gaming.

This is an old video but as a new fan I feel like I need to comment - there are SO MANY good retro games on steam these days and this is a lovely compilation of some reallllllly good ones and a couple I'd never even heard of.

After seeing this video I decided to get Cave Story for my 3ds, finished it today and its definitely one of the best games I had ever played. Thank you and please keep making these great videos and reviews.

I'd never heard of Foul Play before watching this. So I looked it up on Steam and it was like 75% off, under $4. Bought it and I'm about to dive into it. Thanks!

Who knew the Monopoly mascot was such a bad ass.

Your videos give me so much joy. I’m one of those subscribers that mostly has a connection with the SNES games, so it was refreshing to see this list, bc otherwise I might not have seen it, so thanks!

Jesus, I'm always behind on the times. I literally have heard of NONE of these games but they look cool as hell. I am waaaay too immersed in the old school hehe.

Wasn't into retro-games in 2014, thanks for hipping me to stuff I missed.

Haven't watched Part 2 yet, but talking of twin-stick shooters, I'm surprised you didn't mention Beat Hazard.

Strikey Sisters, Bleed 1 + 2, They Bleed Pixels, Nuclear Throne, Party Hard, Mercenary Kings, Luftrausers, Slain, Super House of Dead Ninjas, Super Meat Boy, Shutshimi, Wyv and Keep, The Bug Butcher, Volgarr The Viking, Super Star Path, Wizorb, Death's Hangover, Death Fungeon, Terrian Saga: KR-17, Downwell... These are some of new retro-style games I got in my Steam collection. Quality games for retro-fans.

Hero Siege is a fun 16 bit Diablo style twin stick shooter. It has on line multiplayer and a ton of classes to pick from. And it is fairly cheep. On steam.

I think this video would be a neat concept to revisit. So so so many high quality games inspired by more and more snes games have been released. I'd also be curious about what games you play just for yourself. Not even snes related stuff, just whatever you like playing.

Treasure Adventure Game is one of my personal favorites of this type. It is brilliant at capturing that sense of wonder and discovery that most of us haven't had since our childhood when we were first exposed to gaming.

For twin-stick there is also beat hazard. the cave is a good atmospheric platforming puzzle game as well. and it has a fair amount of re-playability since certain paths can only be taken with certain team members so not all puzzles can be completed on the first few playthroughs. they both support coop as well. I also can't recommend the trine franchise highly enough for people who like just a simple game a la nes/snes it is also a puzzle platformer and reminds me of good old lost vikings, man i wish blizzard would make a new one of those.

This should be a series. So many SNES like games out today

There were a couple offerings here I hadn't heard of and would probably enjoy, so, thanks!

You need to do a follow up to this video. There's so much more that fits this category now!

Offspring Fling always worth a mention. Fun single-room action puzzler. Escape Goat and its sequel too.

So many great games here and many of them are now available on Switch! What a list!!

Tons of them. Retro games are in so probably half of the entire Steam library would work well as SNES games.

Did you enjoy Shovel Knight?

Volgarr the Viking really feels like a 16-bit era game.

rogue legacy! castlevania meets fast past megaman x with clever gameplay that is always random

Geometry wars has a really good track running while you're blowing stuff up.

Hey snes drunk have you played a game called Hollow Knight I think you'd really enjoy it

If you do another one: Dead Cells Salt and Sanctuary Fez vvvvv Shovel Knight Ori and the Blind Forest Transistor Aquaria The Aquatic Adventure of the Last Human Song of the Deep There's a bunch more but those are some of the better modern 2d games I've played. The follow up to Limbo, Inside is very, very good and worth a mini-review too. If you haven't played it, I think you will like it. I actually enjoyed it a bit more than Limbo TBH. It has a very Out of this World kind of feel to it IMO.

The Kingdom Rush Series is one you may be interested in reviewing. It's on PC and Mobile. It's a Tower Defense with cartoon-style graphics a comical storyline.

The Binding of Isaac, dude. The Binding of Isaac!

Momodora IV, Castle Crashers and Battleblock Theatre, Shovel Knight, Hollow Knight, Sonic Mania, Guacamelee, Might Gunvolt, Azure Striker Gunvolt, Bloodstained: Curse Of The Moon, Crypt Of The Necrodancer, Axiom Verge, Strider, Downwell, Evoland, Owlboy, Shantae, Skullgirls, Stardew, Titan Souls, Freedom Planet, Super Meat Boy, Volgarr The Viking, Flinthook, Phantom Breaker; Battlegrounds, Octopath Traveler, The Joylancer... Man, you really should make a sequel my man, there are a PLETHORA of indie games you could be playing that I think are right up your alley

GRIS is another one like Teslagrad in that it tells the story entirely visually. No dialogue, and the animation and art is very interesting.

MetroidVania...you’re killing me smalls!

This is the second most hardest I’ve ever laughed at the intro.

Do some more of this theme. There are shit tons more retro inspired PC games. Every genre is represented pretty thoroughly and amazingly these days

Check out "Out there Somewhere", its on steam for less than a dollar on sales and its amazing for that price. Very oldschool looking, great sprites, great concept and gameplay mechanics, just a little short but its very well made

also, I had never heard of Cave Story before this video. Adding it to my list...

Seven years after this video was released and I've never heard of dune if these games.

Team Cherry saw the buzzsaws in Limbo and spontaneously combusted.

and thanks again for your videos ! So much games.. so few free time ... anyway, thanks !

All these games you said everyone knows i did not so tyvm for mentioning them!

How did Dust not make this list?

I never heard if cave story....awesome!

If you don't mind a few reccomendations, not coached in "you forgot" because the person writing said recommendations forgot to check the date on this video and is claiming you forgot things that didn't exist yet: Shantae: Risky's Revenge - I played this game a month ago and I had SOOOOO much fun. Absolutely loved it. Flawless recreation of old platforming, complete with gorgeous 16-bit pixel art, and absolutely OOZING with charm and humour. You're a girl who is half-genie, in a sort of cartoony slightly-orientalist setting... not quite Aladdin-style, but in that realm. You attack enemies by whipping your hair at them, and can also buy magic spells from the item shop. As the game progresses, you gain the ability to transform into different creatures through the power of belly-dancing. The creatures have different abilities that let you access new and different areas, find new stuff in old areas, etc. Kind of a Metroidy thing in that sense. Level design is great and the platforming is smooth (aside from some annoying bits you have to do in monkey form), and the enemies are cool and the music is lively and, as said, it's REALLY funny, and also it has the best NAMES of any game ever: your nemesis is a pirate called Risky Boots. You have a zombie pal called Rotty Topps. You save a puppy called Wobble Bell. A guy mentions his pet monkey Chewbonky Kong. Etc. I'd compare it to stuff like Mickey's Mystical Adventure, Monster World IV, Super Adventure Island 2, Magical Pop'n, that kind of thing. There's two other recent Shantae games - Pirate's Curse and Half-Genie Hero - and those are both really awesome too, but they don't feel as SNES as this one does. Momodora: Reverie Under Moonlight - This is another sidescrolling pixely platformer, though this is a bit more action oriented, and has an almost RPGish / fantasy-adventure kind of vibe. It's not as much pure fun as Shantae, but presents a really compelling and rich world, has a lot of atmosphere, and is waaaayyyyy better than the awful "cover art" suggests. You're a sort of priestess lady, who looks like a final fantasy white mage, and you fight enemies by hitting them with a red maple leaf (Oh Canada, our home and native land...). Child of Light - Despite being developed in Montreal, in terms of genre sensibilities, I would very much characterize this as a classic JRPG. It's the usual thing - turn-based battles, elemental weaknesses, semi-random encounters (you can see enemies in the non-battle screen, though), customize the skills and abilities of otherwise pre-fab characters, that kind of thing. The big interesting departures are two things: first, that it's a 2D sidescroller, rather than an overhead view - though at points you'll be able to move 'north' or 'south' between planes, and fast-travel to different areas. Secondly, that all the dialogue is told in rhyme. It is absolutely BEAUTIFUL in terms of graphics and art design - a bit reminiscent of Braid's backgrounds, actually, has a charming and somewhat melancholy sort of fairytale vibe to the story, and the music is FANTASTIC. I loved this game, and keep wanting to replay it, but then my backlog is like "DON'T YOU DARE". I Am Setsuna - A full-on proper Japanese JRPG. This one was created by Square-Enix's Tokyo RPG Factory, who were very deliberately created to do games in the style of the companies "golden age" of the late 90s, early 00s. And that's exactly what it is. I Am Setsuna is just... very much a latter-SNES style JRPG, and is particularly reminiscent of Chrono Trigger. It's got a few clever small twists to gameplay and strategy, but that stuff is mostly exactly what we were all used to and kinda miss. The main complaint people make about the game is actually one of the things it did interestngly, and which I really like. Rather than traversing the usual set of areas - the desert country, the forest country, the ninja country, etc - the entire game takes place in the depths of a northern winter. It sets a really distinctive visual tone, IMO, which is perfect for the melancholy nature of the storyline (your quest's big goal and what sets you out on your way is the human sacrifice of one of your key party members). The music is also breathtaking, and PERFECTLY suited to the mood and atmosphere. It's nice to play it around Christmastime, what with all the snow and coats and snowmen and warm fires and such. Shovel Knight has been mentioned a billion times below, so there's nothing in particular I need to add about it. Sine Mora is a sidescrolling shoot-em-up that I've been really really enjoying. Shmups are all very samey, aside from the three viewpoints (sidescroller, vertical, 3D), and the two types (standard and twin stick), so they need to be set apart in some way to be cool. Sine Mora does this with a very cool sort of WW2 aesthetic to your spaceships, an extremely dark story about war, occupation and genocide (best presented in the original Hungarian language - cos if anyone knows about the horrors of war, occupation, fascism and genocide, it's the goddamn Hungarians), and the neat mechanic where you ship can TECHNICALLY take an infinite amount of damage - what matters is your TIME LIMIT. If you run out of time, you die. And each time you take a hit, you incur a penalty to your timer, and each time you destroy an enemy, it gives a bonus to your timer. You also have special weapons, power-ups, etc, but most interestingly, you can have some kind of time manipulation ability for your ship too. The most common and useful is a "bullet time" mechanic to help you get through particularly intense bullet hell storms, but there's also mechanics for things like reversing time when you make a mistake. Pretty much ANY modern Shmup is pretty SNES-ish, because the genre hasn't really changed over the last 30 years. Like 2D fighting games, it just gets more and more refined and perfected in subtle ways- like trying to bake a really good loaf of bread, or make the perfect slice of pepperoni pizza. Jamestown is another fun one, and that one is more self-consciously retro. It's vertical scrolling, done with pixel art, and its big hook is that its set on Mars in the early 17th century, in an alternate history where THAT'S the New World that England, Spain, France and Portugal tried to colonize, rather than the Americas. Someone below mentioned Hyper Light Drifter, and that's a great game, but I honestly don't think it's very SNES-like. Like IMO it takes more than using pixel art to have that same feel. And some things that use more modern graphics CAN totally feel like a SNES game.

Have you played Hotline Miami? If not i highly recommend it!

la mulana ex is a good one. really hard too.

You might like "never alone" puzzle platformer.

The original free translated version of Cave Story is better than the Steam release.

I really liked that inside u.....i thought limbo was it so wow i need to check it out 4 sure!!!!!

Bad Hotel looks like a combination between Sim Tower and Missile Command for the Atari 2600. also, like the use of the word 'Metroidian' i think it conveys a lot more than simply 'backtracking' and is not as obnoxious as 'Metroidvania'

10 is such an oddly even number for a SNES drunk list.

If you haven’t already, I would recommend the binding of Isaac. I also realize this is years late for this video. Oh well. Great videos, thanks!

i'm a big fan of your channel , and i'm always drunk , cheers from brazil

Most of these games didn't strike my fancy, but I appreciate the theme of the video. Can you do a video for steam JRPGs?

I thought you would have mentioned Castle Crashers. It seems to fit the bill for this video. Great video btw.

You should do a sequel to this video. My recommendation is Hyper Light Drifter. Probably my favorite game of the last ten years. It got me back into playing my SNES.

I can tell you from experience, Steam and alcohol don't mix. It's how I ended up with a bunch of Star Wars games on New Years that I'll never play.

2:56 LMAO back before the word metroidvania was a thing I guess

Interesting list, thanks!

You should really consider chained echoes when it comes out.

Have you heard about owlboy its a great and easy to play indie game

So, I have been browsing through the list for games that might interest me, and I am surprised to see Legend of Dungeon on here, I bought it by mistake one day years ago, tried it and felt it was ok at best. I might have to give it another go now.

I wonder if you'd enjoy Shadowgrounds. It's basically a top-down Doom. Just nice clean no-nonsense arcade shooter.

I'm looking for PS Vita games like these. Chrono Trigger, Limbo, Teslagrad, and Geometry Wars 3 are available. I'm still looking for more.

I would really like to hear what you think about Lone Survivor. If you like it enough I may man up and finish it. I'm scared.

Offspring Flin, it even has Commercial Art in SNES Style :)

I know this is an old video, but if you ever revisit the concept, check out Death Road to Canada, I think you'll dig it.

You gotta play cosmic star heroine. It doesn't get more snes than that. Sorry for my bad english!

Snes-like games should be controlled with a snes-like gamepad, though.

Best snes-like game on steam for me is Hammerwatch, no contest. Also, "Metroidian" :D

I feel Geometry Wars and Waves are more Atari-like than SNES-like. Still, good list though!

Hammerwatch is like Legend of Dungeon but better. Both are nice Gauntlet clones in my book.

I would add Axiom Verge here

Stardew valley is practically harvest moon

Maybe more psx-like, but one recent steam game I would recommend to you is Empire of Angels 4.

8BitBoy is also a good "Nintendo-Like Game"

I'm sad that Lisa isn't on this list. Snesdrunk, please take a look at Lisa!

what is the sound bite in the background at like 5:20???

Fez? Enter the Gungeon? Isaac?

Fez !!!

enter the gungeon!

What's the song at the beginning? I forgot. EDIT: Cave Story. KZfaq suggested it.

check out lisa the painful rpg sometime if you want a humorous and dark rpg similar to earthbound.

BRAID IS NOT FRIENDLY!!! OR COLORF- Okay, it's pretty colorful...

Crimsonland.not as good as hotline Miami but very reminiscent of smash tv

What's the first song used in the video? I recognize it but can't place it.

Boi you forgot hyper light drifter

I didn't like Cave Story very much. The controls feel awkward and sluggish, the leveling of the weapons is a repetitive chore, and the story is cute but nothing special. It is free though. I guess sometimes you get what you pay for.

Hey SNES Drunk, nice list. Give Terraria a try if you haven't already.

You know SNESDrunk doesn't follow current games when he isn't familiar with the term Metroidvania.

Try Crosscode.

Not a Steam game, but Hero Core is definitely worth a shot. Trailer's here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eduPq8d0rcq3oZs.html

scott pilgrim?

steam hell i just got a snes mini to hack im way behind

IS IT THELEGEND27?

No STEAM DRUNK! Intro... What gives?

Hi snesdrunk have you played nuclear throne? It's a retro randomly generated shoot'em up... i think... anyways it's pretty good give it a try if you fancy.

Sssssssteam drunk

Spingun
