100 Japan Exclusive SNES Games ... in 20 minutes! PART 1

This is an extended cut of an 10-minute video that is made available early as a bonus for our Patreon subscribers!

As with most consoles, there were quite a few Super Nintendo games that were never exported to the West. Here, we take a look at a 100 of them.

To be honest, there are a few less-than-impressive games on this list- but also quite a few genuine hidden gems in here! It's actually a little sad that some of these gems weren't exported ...

It's also worth nothing that most of these are playable without requiring Japanese reading skills.

And to celebrate this release, let's have a steam key!

This video made me wonder just how many games were unreleased in the US, and I can't believe there are over 700 snes games stuck in Japan....

[blacksunshine]

I was just actually thinking about such a list

[sonicmania]

Steamkey amazing-ness: Psychonauts! Cheers, Gary!

This video is fascinating -- I know almost nothing about the import Super Famicon scene, and have only seen 10-15 of these games before. Thinking about this particular library almost makes me consider emulating, which is something I have only very rarely done. As a seasoned Saturn importer, the mind boggles when I start to think about the cost involved in actually collecting the physical games. I randomly looked up one that appeals to me on ebay -- Holy Umbrella -- and it's $80 plus shipping for loose cart, $300+ boxed. It appears that prices have gone up a lot in the last few years, so I think I missed the boat on any chance of physical collecting. Though 4th gen graphics and gameplay are simpler than my beloved 5th gen, there is something charming and timeless about good 4th gen games from Japan. Seems like a time capsule from a time when life was better and simpler.

Thank you for another wonderful video. I love looking at these Japanese games and can't wait to play some. Happy New Year Gary.

It's funny how the SFC was getting new games all the way up until '99. The Dreamcast came out that year, for cryin' out loud!

[frcz]

Aint that dragon punch move in battle zeque den using chun li "hikouken" sound? Or is it just me....

[telios]

Dude cool video as always, Hiryu no ken s is the Ultimate Fighter game in na

[chiissu]

Good vid. There's 3 I have on other things like Arcus Odyssey on Genesis and Micky and Donald 3 on GBA, and 9 I'd like to try. Keep up the good work. These vids are a good help for finding new things to look for.

The great battle services and the goeman series have English patches for anyone that wants to play. they are all very good games. Sailor moon r is a decent beat em up too

[RealziesCuts]

Damn, The backlog is getting crazy 🎮
SNES 4 Life

[sammylane]

Why was it that we here in the U.S. got a trilogy of sucktacular BACK TO THE FUTURE games but Japan got a cute fun BACK TO THE FUTURE PT2 game that leaps and bounds better than our movie based games?? The NES&SEGA Genesis games both were sucktacular.

[CrazyFriendlyGamerAlex]

Great list! Some games look weird but some are actually interesting:D
Thanks for sharing as always^^
You're doing great job and hope you're well:)

[citizenx]

I wish Bahamut Lagoon had made the list.

[ripast]

Con razón juegos que se habían anunciado en Club Nintendo no los ví nunca en las tiendas, como Mutant Fighter y Magical Quest 3.
Por último hubieran tenido la decencia de desmentir que iban a llegar a américa.

[hopetagulos]

Eu queria muito que o Super Nintendo tivesse a mesma resolução ou superior ao do Sega Mega Drive, pois os gráficos, além das cores, seriam mais definidos, detalhados e sem serrilhados.
