[Ack]

Tuesday, August 4, 2015 - Best "Obscure" SNES Games

I think your video should have been you shouting, "There aren't any!"

That said, I feel like the SNES library has been so heavily mined at this point that there isn't that much hidden on it anymore. The games that I considered hidden gems a few years ago are now all well known to SNES collectors and in some cases highly sought out, like King of Dragons, Knights of the Round, Skyblazer, Run Saber, Cybernator, Fire Striker, etc.

That said, there are a few that I don't see get talked about much that people might want to take notice of: Phantom 2040, X-Zone, Cacoma Knight in Bizyland, Inindo, Shien's Revenge, that kind of thing.

...dammit, I really wish I had done that now.

That's largely the point of my opening monologue there. The only "hidden" games remaining are games that are judged by the cover, stuff like Robotrek and True Lies.

Yup, but bear in mind the target audience is people on the SNES subreddit starting topics with titles like "Just found my SNES in the attic, what are some non-first party games I should get that I might not know about?"

Just finished a Phantom 2040 video this past weekend.

I think you did a great job with one most overdone type of videos out there. Most importantly you know how to portray both the good and not-so-good qualities of every game you put on your lists in a very entertaining way. I don't think I've ever seen Incantation, Pieces, The Ignition Factor, Super Ninja Boy, True Lies, The Twisted Tales of Spike McFang, Equinox, Skyblazer, or Robotrek on any other hidden gems videos and you managed to get me interested in almost all of them.

Sweet, looking forward to that one.

Yeah, that was definitely one of the best hidden gems videos I've seen.

Uh, I mean, how dare you pick True Lies! And Pieces? Ugh. You disgust me. If I ever see you in the streets, I'm gonna give you a kick to the shins.

Nah, but seriously, good list of stuff. Could have been better though. By just adding "Top 10" to the video title, you could have gotten so many more views.

Thanks folks. Not sure what kind of videos of this nature to do next. Maybe most overhyped games, or "Are the most expensive SNES games worth it? (No)"

Thursday, August 6, 2015 - Volgarr the Viking

[Gunstar Green]

I like Volgarr a lot, mainly because I'm a fan of Rastan and it feels very much like an evolved version of that game (and thankfully not Rastan Saga II).
