IMO the SNES is the console that has aged better than any other. The sprite based graphics are evergreen and the list of games it has never gets old.

@jardex2275 10 ай бұрын

Pretty much. SNES was peak 2D, which is why so many games from Shovel Knight to Sea of Stars, take inspiration from it. It even got a bit of a second wind with the Game Boy Advance making the whole thing portable.

Yep, Mitsuda literally overworked himself until he got sick. He is an absolute top tier composer. He also did Chrono Cross (without help that time) and Xenogears. The only composer I've seen that's fully on Mitsuda's level is Masayoshi Soken. He composed a lot of Endwalker from his hospital room while being treated for cancer.

It's funny because fast forward to this year and I've also seen a ton of reviewers say Sea of Stars' OST is by Mitsuda when he also only did 10 songs and the vast majority was by Eric Brown. Maybe in 30 years we'll get a game where world renowned Eric Brown is the guest composer and people confuse that too 😁

The original Donkey Kong Country is the game that introduced me to video games as a whole back when I was 5. My brothers and I spent a LOT of time with DKC and DKC2 through childhood. Truly special games man.

@JackoBanon1 9 ай бұрын

Of the trilogy DKC1 is probably my least favorite one but it was also the first video game I ever owned as a child. (Besides Super Mario World of course when my parents bought the SNES) I remember playing DKC1 with my dad and failing the levels again and again. But with time we both improved and managed to reach world 4. And if I remember correctly you had to beat 5 extremely difficult ice levels in a row before you were able to save in this world so we reached some kind of dead end there. But because my dad had to work and other obligations and I had much more free time my disadvantage of still being very young and my mechanical skills not being completelly evolved yet could be compensated and I became better and better and finally managed to beat the 4th world and he was super suprised when he saw it. Then we finished the game together because the rest of the game was actually much easier. After DKC2 was released I was completelly obsessed with the game and became so good that he didn't even want to play with me anymore because I would beat almost every level at first try while he already had to struggle in the 2. world. Good old memories, haha.

Here, let me point you at a few of the... well, probably rightfully overlooked games, not the system's masterpieces but still worth giving a try: Arcana - A low-animation dungeon crawler with a bit of a mean streak, but the soundtrack alone is worth the play. Paladin's Quest - Your standard JRPG, but with an unusual approach to its magic system, a world that feels bigger than it really is, and a nice twist on the usual "chosen one" story. Lagoon - Actually, I don't even know why I'm recommending this, it's an action-adventure game that gives you basically a two-pixel attack range and will cheerfully throw a game over at you for blowing a simple jump, but it's got a sort of charm to it. Soul Blazer/Illusion of Gaia/Terranigma - They're not quite a series, but they try to hint at a shared universe. Soul Blazer is just okay, but Illusion of Gaia has an involved and kind of moody story, and Terranigma takes the gameplay of the previous two games and perfects it; just don't expect good things happening to good people, it's a bit bleak.

I knew one of my favorites wouldn't make the list, but that's OK. For me, an underappreciated gem of the SNES will always be Lufia 2. A challenging and entertaining RPG with phenomenal characters, outstanding music, incredible dungeon design (including very complex and enjoyable puzzles) and one of the most emotional endings of any RPG I've ever played. It's so perfect that just hearing the first few notes of "The Savior of Those on Earth" still brings tears to my eyes.

It's crazy how video game moments stick with you all these years later. I remember having to go through a really tough dental procedure when I was a kid. When I came home, there was the brand new SNES console that had just come out witb a copy of Super Mario World. Nearly 30 years later and I barely remember any hint of the pain from the procedure but the excitement of having an SNES.

The snes was nuts man, being a kid was nuts. I remember to this day playing Mario RPG, never even knowing that they made games like that. It blew my mind. I played it over and over, using every character finding new stuff each time. As a kid I lived on a farm way out in the middle of nowhere, we didn't have internet or a lot of money so my only glimpse into what else was out there was from looking at magazines as my mom shopped or talking to the other kids at school. Maybe getting 1 or 2 games on my birthday or christmas. DUDE, I totally forgot about RENTING snes games lol. I used to love renting the Terminator 2 arcade game and.....Battle or Clash of the monsters. I don't remember the name exactly but it was amazing. Kinda like double dragon with dinosaurs.

Of the 54 songs on the Chrono Trigger soundtrack, Nobou Uematsu actually only worked on 10. Most of them were composed by Yasunori Mitsuda (who recently swapped to the role of "legendary veteran contributing a few tracks to a masterpiece" for Sea of Stars). Also, there's no "The" before "Legend" in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, and the "r" comes before the "l" ;)

I have had a complex history with FF6. For most of my life it was my favourite game of all time however as things have gone on the mistakes really start to wear on me and I dont think I'll ever return to the SNES version. In particular the evasion bug. The fact that two of the 9 fundamental stats are completely bugged just really bothers me and it had not only slipped from my top spot but had actually slipped from my top 5. However the recent pixel remaster has done some amazing things. Fixing some of the biggest issues and somehow managing to actually improve on the music in perhaps my favourite soundtrack is just spectacular. It put FF6 back on top in my books.

Recovered from gaming addiction but here, I get a a nice spurt without overdoing it. Healthfully balancing with life. Definitely a piece of art Retro gaming is to me.

I remember Jirard saying half of these games as his #1 favorite game before. Vividly remember him saying Earthbound was his favorite, and I remember him saying A link to the past and Super Metroid during randomizers.

Try checking your local flea markets and pawn shops. The games are out there but prices have gotten pretty crazy recently. I have nearly 100 SNES games now and I limit myself to only the best games. My local shop has Mario RPG but I can’t justify $130 when I have the mini. 😅

@bunkernuts6293 10 ай бұрын

@Chojimaroji Super Famicom games are also pretty viable ways of getting CIB games, but cheaper. Super Metroid plays in both Japanese and English, for example, and is a fraction of the price for the SFC version CIB compared to the North American version. Super Mario All-Stars is another cheap one, too.

Donkey Kong Country 2, The Legend Of Zelda: A Link To The Past and Yoshi's Island were probably my most played SNES games ever. Graphically still beautiful to watch today and perfect platformer gameplay with epic boss fights and a lot to do and find to finish these games 100%. There were a lot of other great SNES games of course but these are my 3 all-time favorites.

I love seeing your SNES memories, Jirard. It seems like your memories are from the last few years of the SNES's life, whereas mine were from the early years of the SNES. I got my SNES in 1991 (right when they came out) but around 1994/1995, my life got "serious" - I graduated high school and circumstances led me away from gaming for a short while (it was that period in between "parents buying games for you" and "you gotta go get a job and buy your own games"). "Donkey Kong Country" (which came out in November 1994) is the last SNES game I ever received as a gift, and that game is special to me. My "Top 10" list consists of (in no particular order): "Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past", "Final Fantasy 2", "Super Mario World", "Street Fighter 2", the original "Star Fox", the original "Mario Kart", "Actraiser" "Contra III", "Sim City", and "Donkey Kong Country". Nothing after 1994. I never got to experience "Earthbound", "Chrono Trigger", "Donkey Kong Country II", "Super Mario RPG" or "Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island". When I got back into gaming a couple years later, it was playing on friend's original Playstation while in college. It just feels like I missed out on a last couple years of SNES greatness. I eventually bought a Nintendo 64 in 1998.

DK2 is the only game I've ever 100%ed and will likely be the ONLY game I ever fully complete. Pre internet, it was so satisfying to figure out every secret. To win with skill rather than state saves. I understand Jirard's love for this game because it is my own. I both can't wait for, and absolutely dread, the day he comes out with the episode covering this game.
