I Ranked Konami SNES Games

coming hot off of NES Konami one of the kings of video games on the Super Nintendo and we're going to rank all of them in this video well I say all of them I'm pretty sure this is every Konami game I might be missing one or two off the list if I am please call me out in the comments how you feeling you got John rigs here thank you so much for watching by watching and simply by hitting the Subscribe button you are supporting the channel more than you know if you want to support it even further I sell my homebrews on my website I wrote a book about breakfast cereal of the ' 80s and '90s and I sell my oddly specific air fresheners like this one that smells like a Grandma's house it's freshly baked cookies butterscotch candies and a freshly mopped floor I just restocked my 80s arcade ones that smells like wood paneling menthol cigarettes used gum and spiled Coke check out my link in the description below thank you so much The Adventures of Batman and Robin have you played this on the Super Nintendo oh my goodness the team on this game did themselves proud with the animation the Batman games I've mentioned in the past are either really really good or really really bad and this Batman game The Adventures of Batman and Robin on the Super Nintendo very very good one of the best just the animation is fantastic I was such a big fan of the cartoon series and of course in playing the game you run into the famous villains from the cartoon series I think it's wonderful I think it's amazing I'm giving it an a I love it we have the Animaniacs for the Super Nintendo have you played the Animaniac on the Super Nintendo well the cartoon was amazing I absolutely loved the cartoon and this one plays it plays like it should could have got a any direction and it went the direction it did and it's probably the best idea for it just the facial expressions of the characters of uh yako Wacko and Dot uh when you're jumping when you're climbing on top of each other when you're trying to avoid getting caught by the security guy and stuff like that too it's a decent game it's okay it's worth looking at for a moment I'm giving it a B I wish it was more going on with this game I would have loved to have seen a Simpsons style beat him up with this game not that I was asking for it and not that anybody demanded that but I think that would have been amazing for a game like Adam Maniacs axay is one of the most impressive looking Super Nintendo games I think it's a vertical shoot as well as a horizontal shooter the first stage and then the alternating stages is that horizontal shooter but it just has that kind of rotating rounded how it looks it blew my mind the first time I saw it I'm like this is insane difficult game this one is um I've never beaten it all the way through I've gotten close I've gotten really far but man cuz you have like the different weapons you can choose from and cycle through them and everything and then the horizontal stages are still really good the whole game could have been one or the other but they made it both and that's axay in a nutshell I'm giving it an a I almost gave it a b just because how difficult it is but the difficulty is my own fault it shouldn't be the fault of video game it's the fault of me I'm giving it an a I think it's one of the best Shooters on the Super Nintendo we have Batman Returns Batman Returns came out based on the movie not bad this one is a beat him up I like the fact that you could actually take the enemies and Chuck them into the wall behind you and smash glass and that part's always fun for me other than that it is just kind of a again with these beat them UPS sometimes they're just kind of the same thing over and over again it gets kind of monotonous it's good I just wish it was better I'm giving this one want to see only because I do like this game quite a bit but man it just you almost get bored after a while you just get to the point where it's like I'm just going to keep playing it as a chore just to see it through it's really good though but I'm still giving it a c and if that doesn't make any sense to you you're not alone Biker Mice for Mars you ever watch this you ever play this well it plays like I don't know there was a couple of racing games a little about like a like an RC proam I guess you could put rock and roll racing in there somewhere too Biker Mice for Mars it's literally that I don't know if they're just stretching for something it's like we already have teenage mut Ninja Turtles why don't we have Biker Mice from Mars I don't know how they came up with this idea but the game's pretty decent I mean if you like racing games it has its own thing going on for itself I'll give it a b Castlevania Dracula X we'll talk about this one first cuz I'm kind of going alphabetical Castlevania Dracula X this is an excellent game yes it's not the game for the turbo duo or turbog graphic CD or PC engine CD I guess technically yes it's not that but this is a very good Port of that it's a little watered down I know Die Hard fans of tographic 16 will say it's way watered down H I don't see it that way I think it's still really good it's just not exactly the same as that but if you never played that version you'll be like wow this is like one of the best Castlevania games and I love the soundtrack to it and I love what's going on with this game yes it is missing some of the elements of the turbo CD but you know you get what you get I'll give it an a it's really good we have contra 3 the Alien War do you ever play contra 3 the Alien War I loved the fact that you could have two guns at once I loved the fact that you could grab the spread and then reserve it for when you need it that way if you die you still have it when you come back to life and then on the other side you can have your laser or you can have your machine gun or whatever it is and then you hold l&r or whatever it is and you have both guns you can spin around and shoot both of them at the same time oh it's was the best it was the best and it was also that cool time with Super Nintendo where it's like o what mode seven are we going to see in this game and you see like the airplane flying in and dropping the Napal or whatever it is oh man what a what a great game I'll give it an a uh this is a super hard game this game has more levels than it should I've only beaten it with a Game Genie just because I wanted to see what it was like to go through the game and I was like man there's still more levels in this game there's no way I could do this and maybe you have if you've beaten it without using a game gen or anything more power to you I never could boy I tried gradius 3 is another one that came out this is that time where I was like whatever happened to gradius 2 like is Life Force gradius 2 I I didn't know there was gradius 2 for the famicom but I'm not complaining about gradius 3 I love the gradius games I love life force and gradius 3 just looked cool I love that bubble stage like where everything like was like the the giant bubbles and all that I was like a is is the coolest thing ever I love the music to this game too great soundtrack great shooter I like the idea of you choose your own upgrades when you need your upgrades I always do two speeds first that's beyond any any of those games I go for two speeds first then primary weapon then missiles then option option option op whatever it is that's my thing or you can also just do the Konami Code only you can't do the Konami Code in this game because you'll blow up you have to do uh lrlr instead of left right left right ha I love it fun game I'll give it an a international Superstar Soccer now this is a game that was very popular in Japan that we that we got here not that it mattered we didn't know this at the time at least I didn't know this at the time and although the FIFA games were super popular this game in my opinion I think it plays better than the FIFA games have you played this game I mean if you're a soccer fan I'm a casual Observer of soccer again it's you know they don't have like premier league and stuff like that but as far as a soccer game goes I think it's pretty cool International Superstar Soccer you got to check it out for yourself I think it's wonderful I'm still only giving it a c so after that huge buildup but it's still it's good it's it's really it's a really good soccer game Legend of the mystical ninja was a game that won my heart the first time I rented it there's something about that game where it's like I wasn't familiar with the gon character at all before all this and um it just looked fun it just I had that kind of over overhead little exploration go in the shops talk to people whatever and then it had the Sid scrolling stages that had the platforming going on it was the perfect game for me and boy oh boy did I ever I don't remember the password off the top of my head now there are some NES passwords I still remember off the top of my head but I used to go play this game and go straight to like level three was it with that had like the fair like the carnival and go straight to play like gradius or just play like the little funing games and stuff like that too that was my favorite part of the whole game and the game itself is great I thought it had great visuals for the time I can go on and on and on and I it's it's one of my favorite games I wish we would have had the Japanese sequels because we got the one and in Japan they had like five or six of different styles of Legend mytical ninja style there was like four other ones or something there's there's a lot there's a lot going on there it's an S for me all day long Legend of mystical ninja it may be a top five favorite games of all time for me top 10 for sure if you ask me tomorrow I might switch the games around or whatever but um it's way up there it's part one of my favorite games of all time lethal enforcers now at home I didn't know they could do this because when you played Lethal enforcers in the arcade it was like laser disc or something where it's like you actually had like actual captured model people the people were the graphics and they digitized them and put them in the game it plays okay on Super Nintendo as well as Genesis you do have the justifier what was that gun called the one that actually looks like a like a like a handgun kind of they did have that that you could use but you couldn't use like the super still 6 from what I remember it was okay though I'll give it a c it's okay is it fun to play today not as much it's like for Nostalgia maybe a little bit but it's just not even an onreal shooter it's just like a stuck frame and you move on to the next frame then you move on to the next frame you know but maybe that was the game that started it off I I remember Mad Dog McCree and then we had lethal enforcers and then later on with um virtu cop and Time Crisis and all that later but maybe it all started with lethal enforcers who knows so show it some love it's a c NBA give and go what an interesting name for an NBA game it's basketball give and go what well it's also a clunky basketball game in my opinion it could have been a lot better I'm giving it a c don't want to talk about it too much cuz it brings up hard memories no it doesn't it's okay I played it a little bit I was just like yeah there there there's so much better basketball games out there thanks for trying though NFL football another kind of clunky ish football game well I shouldn't say that it's funny cuz it's NFL football but with like the teams and stuff like that I was hoping for more there are better football games out there as well it's okay though and I'm also going just that one ah do I give it a d I'll give it a c it's just like it's it's decent Prince of Persia came out this one is the classic Prince of Persia game that has been around on computers they had a version on the NES even and now it's on Super Nintendo with Super Nintendo Graphics so same game just the graphics are updated a little bit it's not bad it's just Prince of Persia I'll give it a c sparkster is what we got because Genesis got rocket KN adventures and sparkster is basically rocket KN Adventures right it's like is it a sequel or something here let me look it up again I'm not going to look it up you tell me in the comments never mind I love rocket night Adventures on on the Sega Genesis and then we got sparkster it's like oh this is It's rocket Knight Adventures as he plays the same character you can do the same kind of moves where you can slash you can jump you can twist you can um you know hold your button down and kind of you know fly like with your rocket or whatever super fun super amazing I wish more people knew about this game cuz out of all the games that Konami made on the Super Nintendo for some reason this one kind of gets lost in the shuffle and it shouldn't because it's so good I'm giving it a b it could have been better but it's so good and I don't even know what could have made it better it's missing something though I don't know like for some reason everything just made sense on Genesis why wouldn't I think the same thing for Super Nintendo what's it missing maybe you tell me Sunset Riders was another game loved it in the arcade and then the Super Nintendo version came out and it was the arcade version on the super Nintendo love me some Sunset Riders it was like a slower paced Wild Wild West Contra where you have your players and the different players might have a different style of gun or something like that too and loved the you can like go in the saloon and get your stuff the the boss battles and all that it was just fun to see love the soundtrack to this game too it's a wonderful experience I'm giving this game an a Super Castlevania 4 is odd because it is the least like most other castania games as far as the graphics go as far as the looks go now of course it's great I mean it's this is like he let's make Castlevania so Super Nintendo riic that it couldn't be on anything else and that's exactly what they did the way you're uh your your chain kind of hangs and you can like move your the d-pad around and kind of Swit it around I thought that was kind of fun there's that one stage with the mode 7 that the whole screen rotates and all that I thought that was the coolest thing ever the boss battles huge bosses in this game love me some Super Castlevania 4 it's so funny because it's like it's one of the least like other Castlevania games but it's also like one of my favorite Castlevania games I'm giving it personally I'm giving Super Castlevania 4 an I just love everything about this game had a couple of teenage meet Ninja Turtles games including teenage meet Ninja Turtles turtles in time my goodness what of the best one of the absolute best one of the best beat them UPS on the Super Nintendo I loved what you can take the uh Foot Clan and throw them through the camera I thought that was super fun it was always fun to see with the turtles games who the bosses were going to be especially if you're a fan of the cartoon I watched it mostly of the cartoon I wasn't as familiar with like the comics and stuff like that but I love the cartoon series so everything I know about Ninja Turtles was basically from the cartoon series it was just so fun to see it I love the music and I love uh everything about it yeah I love some of the options on there too because arcade style if you just hold the left or right button you'll eventually start into a run it's like no I want to control that I want to be able to double tap and turn it into a dash or whatever I play as Raphael every time that's my guy in both of the things I'm giving it an S it's so good we also had Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles tournament fighter or Teenage Mutant hero Turtles so in in the UK instead of saying TMNT do you say tmht I don't know if I could get used to that you would even say you wouldn't even say tmht you'd say tmht right well either way you look at it out of the three tournament Fighters games there's one for NES one for Genesis one for Super Nintendo to me hands down the Super Nintendo is the best one for sure you can play as the different characters I thought it was a decent fighter it wasn't the best 2D fighting game but you may as well make a Turtles game and turn it into a fighter I'll give it a b it's pretty good it's all right couple of tiny tun Adventures games as well we had tiny tune Adventures Buster busts loose this is your platformer there's a whole lot of Dashing and running and jumping in this game more than anything yeah you can Bop on the enemy's heads and stuff like that too but it's a decent platformer it's a decent action game it's okay I'm giving it a b man I was hoping for more of cuz tiny tune Adventures for the NES is one of the best Platformers on the entire NES of any platform it's eyelash away from Mario 3 as far as I'm concerned as far as the great Platformers on the NES but on the Super Nintendo I don't know if they're just taking a risk or like oh let's just make a cartoony and do this thing they can do whatever they want still pretty pretty good I'll give it a b we also had tiny tun Adventures wacky Sports challenge which was more of a collection of mini games you can play as bust or Babs or dizzy or Plucky was the other character I think you can play as and then it just turns into a four player there's one of them that you have to like work out you have to like lift weights or something like that my favorite one cuz to me with Super Nintendo it's all about where you going to use mode 7 show me the mode 7 and there's a bungee jump on there so like when you bungee jump you know the screen like the pilot Wing style you know the whole area kind of comes close you have to grab your stuff and then you know the thing you wins you back I'll give it a b cuz it's it's kind of worth checking out much better as a two-player simultaneous game but as a one player experience it's okay it's worth looking at like once or twice but it's almost like you know single player experience I'd give it a c two-player experience I'd give it a be but let's let's call it a be because yes Zombies Ate My Neighbors this was a game that kind of came out of nowhere for me I was just like I love the name of it it sounds like one of those kind of cheesy horrores type movies from the day that were like more comedy than horror but just kind of weird sci-fi style it's the kind of thing that you would see like on MST 3K Zombies Ate My Neighbor the idea that you're going around uh with your sore gun or whatever two players simultaneous again and collecting the um your neighbors like the baby like the teacher like the dude in the inner tube and stuff like that too oh man how fun is that game it does get in my opinion kind of monotonous after a while but as a two-player game I think it's also worth checking out uh not quite an S but I would give it a high a I think it's really really fun and I've done videos just like this for Capcom for square for inex and so many more and I've covered just about every NES compy company you can think of as well so binge all these in the meantime we'll do more of these videos coming up right quick thank you so much for watching we'll see you super soon I promise
