Yes, it was but everyone I knew was wanting star tropics and mega man on the SNES not the NES. Regardless of Nintendo picking up Mega Man 6 from capcom to port over to the USA it was far too late for most gamers to care about the NES and almost killed the mega man franchise off until capcom got some sense knocked into it with mega man 7 that saved mega man from the cruse of killed game franchises marooned on obsolete console hardware. Capcom back then was a strange company that seemed not to care about new hardware right away after being burned by UN Squadron. Maybe it was the SNES having a chip that was hard to program for. Regardless however Mega man vs star tropics is a good lesson on developing new aaa games for obsolete hardware that have far outlived their usefulness and ability to sell games to the masses.

For me, I did not upgrade to snes till 1995 with the donkey Kong country bundle from Costco. I was playing catch-up with all these last releases.

Interestingly, the NES version of _Wario's Woods_ was the first and only officially licensed NES game to receive an ESRB rating.

That's what Squaresoft did with the SNES western release of Breath of Fire 1 as well. Capcom back then was uninterested in western ports of games. They had to be nudged into porting their games again to the west after seeing their games they had no faith in sell well enough to make capcom see it was still a variable market to sell their games in the west still. I think FFV if ported by Nintendo would have sold well. But maybe Dragon Warrior 1 on the NES made Nintendo drop picking up JRPGs porting under their label in the west if third party game makers got gun-shy about porting their games to the west.

Hearing the credits music does sound a bit bittersweet. It really felt like the end of an era. The game is also notable for being one of the few later NES games included in the original Animal Crossing on GameCube.

Reminds me of my neighbours who still had only a NES all the way into 1995-1996 or whenever it was. Thanks to their NES I was introduced to Super Mario Bros. But I don't even remember whatever else they had, if anything. As the owner of a Mega Drive by that time for a number of years already, it wasn't a console that especially appealed to me. That, and my friend had a Sega Saturn and I was soon to get one myself.

I set out to sell my O.G. NES & library of 12ish games at my 1st & only garage sale when I was like 9/10years old lol. Back in 91,92 Era. To fund a new SNES my parents wouldn't buy me, cause they thought the NES ruined they're tv.. (maybe it did...😶) Had some toys up for grabs too (moto, tmnt, wwf figures) Wish I still had them haha. & so things weren't going that great but i did manage to sell about $50. It was getting late & I remember this dad & his kids showed up & he lowballed me hard.. Got me down to like $8 a game instead of $15, $12 i was asking. Anyway he bought most of the games & I was kinda sad to see them go but now i had like $130ca. Most money I'd ever seen haha! The SNES was mine.. all mine.. but it was $159.99 unfortunetly & I was still short & my parents wouldn't cover the rest. It's cool, I laugh about it now & they did get me that SNES eventually next Christmas or so I think, after some convincing. The few years wait it took after release was worth it & it was the last console I would really play as a child. Great memories! Anyway I went to Toy r us & bought a copy of tmnt tournament fighters & a descent sized super soaker water gun & abunch of chocalate. So me & my best friend Eric Venetelli had a good summer!

Nah, I don't think you're giving the Blue Bomber enough credit. He may not be as "cool" to you as Sonic or X, but he still has his place in gaming history and the NES. It was a miracle that MM6 was published at all, considering Capcom didn't even wanted to bother. MM6 was definitely the send off from the 8-bit era to the 16-bit era. Nintendo took it upon themselves to publish it, especially since MM6 featured Robot Masters from one of their contests and it was marketed alongside the top-loader which was a genius move on their part imo. Plus you gotta admit, the 8-bit soundtracks are awesome af. Or you wouldn't even be using it in your videos lol

I've never enjoyed Mega Man. I expected to as a kid, and liked the character on Captain N, but when I went to a friend's house and played Mega Man 2, I just didn't like it. The music is good, even great, the graphics are strong, and the controls are responsive... but I don't enjoy it. I think part of it is that he didn't duck. That irked me for some reason. More importantly, though, I just found it a little repetitive. There's something just same-y that I can't quite explain about it, even though it does change environments with each master. I'd never tell anyone they're bad games- I've even recommended them to some folks. In the decades since, I've tried several times, and though I never hate it, I never really enjoy it either, even after finishing a couple of them.

MM6 was like BoF1 on the SNES. They almost never came to the west.

You had such a different arc from me, maybe because I started with my older brother's leftover Atari and got my NES at the perfect age of 7, when I was ready for more expansive games, but it became THE iconic system to me for my entire life. Even then I put off getting a Genesis until Sonic and the price drop, upon which I relented. My uncle had a Sega and almost every game, I had occasional access to play mostly anything I wanted, and I just didn't prefer the gameplay style to the faster paced NES, and the graphics didn't wow me enough to want to OWN one at the cost of less NES games, you see. I loved my Sega when I got it, but it quickly became third banana when I got my SNES. Then around high school emulators came out, and we had access to the NES once again, most of my and my friend's consoles having given up by then, and with the great Funcoland refurbishment a few years off still, it was a desert for NES gameplay until I looked over one day in computer class and someone was playing Mega Man with a keyboard. That became computer class from then on btw, as they didn't know how to parse out the workload yet so we had tons of free time in there. I kept my NES gaming going from then on, and its left me a ton of other libraries to dig into an an adult now, such as the Genesis, which you've been such a help with, and the TurboGrafx 16 lately. It's just about gaming taste, what we prefer, and how we came to acquire them, I don't think it does any good to argue objective quality, better to just share what we all love.

final year of the NES had some bangers. i didn't really get to play them until emulation though. By 94 we were fortunate enough to had gotten an SNES/Genesis a few years back, so our fam had moved onto 16-bit levels of fun. But discovering these last games later on was a treat. Especially Star Tropics 2.

Mega Man 6, Bonk's Adventure, Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers 2,tmnt tournament Fighters, Zoda's Revenge: Startropics 2 and more help to rap up the nes 9 year run.😀👍🎮

Great video. I was already turned away from the NES by 1992. The Sega Genesis and Super NES had their grips on me. It was rare to see a NES game in the shelf back then. There was a huge push for SNES at the time. Especially in 1994 when the announcement of PS1. The NES is my fourth favorite of all time

What a storied time in gaming that was.

For me personally , 1994 is the year of NES, when my parents finally bought me gaming console , a NES Clone from Taiwan called SPICA, for the first time owning game system after years only able to play in my cousins home during the weekend. Im able to trade /swap games now with my cousins and later my Junior High friends. It isnt the most defining console for me (it goes to playstation1 ) but the most memorable and nostalgic one, Seeing my parents and older siblings play Side Pocket against each other ewhere video games are far from their lives before. My parents also believes in game to brought more positives than negatives during the time where video games get very negatives connotation due to largest illegal gambling racket operate under the banner of Video Game Arcade parlour (in 3rd world country like mine, as usual many people will correlate each event piece by piece and ended up making conclusion that they are correlated)

Wow, that was some cool new animation for the Outro!

(A guy from East Germany) The Turtles fighting game was one of the few NES games I actually played at a friend's place back then (around 93), and I really liked it! My friend was the only person I knew that owned one. Probotector (Contra) was our favourite game though, but it was too hard for us. I also liked Megaman and that soccer game with the crazy shots :) Never owned one, but I had my Master System, which I loved. I always found the NES fascinating, too, even though I had no clue of all the other great games it offered.

Crash Test Dummies is just an alright game. I remember renting it way back in the day one weekend and my younger brothers and I got bored of it pretty quickly.

It's just amazing how many big titles were being released for the NES way into the beginning of the 5th generation of consoles. Even the Mega Drive didn't receive the same treatment around 1996 or 1997, can you imagine DOOM using the SVP chip or SFA2 on the 16-bit SEGA machine? That would be killer. I really enjoy these NES color pallets and its sound chip. It's interesting, to say the least, to imagine kids whose parents held onto the NES for longer and they actually enjoyed many of these games when they were still being released. No matter if you had the current hot stuff or not, if you had enjoyment, even if it was an Atari 2600, by yourself, with brothers or friends, it's all good stuff.

Awesome video! TY for it. I moved on from the NES to the SNES in 1991. In fact, I remember trading in my entire collection for a Game Gear at some point. But all these years later, it's now my favorite console and mostly what I play!

Wario's Woods is my favorite NES games. It's much more technical than Tetris, with great freedom of movement and the ability to recompose the board as you please. It's very satisfying to control your environment and the range of movements. But I can understand why an occasional player might find it difficult, as learning techniques becomes necessary with more complex configurations in advanced stages.

Capcom were definitely MVPs of the post Super Nintendo launch for those who hadn't upgraded from their NES.

Some of these games I bought from Funcoland back in the late 90s for cheap particularly Rescue Rangers 2, Bonk's Adventure, TMNT Tournament Fighters. I ended up selling those 3 along with some other high dollar NES games in 2015 in order to buy school clothes for my son. I still have Mega Man 6 and Zoda's Revenge in my collection. I wish I had a physical copy of Wario's Woods especially since I play on an emulator it every 4th of July while I'm outside grilling.

After getting an Snes for Xmas in '91, I was pretty much done with the NES.

Hell, it wasn't til the PS1 dropped that I finally sold my NES collection to help pay for it. Was tough to let it go but I absolutely made the right choice. The PS1 was amazing!

❗️We got our NES with two Control Pads and 'Super Mario Bros. 1' back in early 1992 and used it thoroughly until mid-1995 where I got the SNES with two Control Pads and 'Super Mario Allstars' (with no Mario World). This Console was also thoroughly used until Friday 1st January 1999. During my [purple] GameCube days in late-2003, I had a bit of nostalgia for the NES but never got around to getting another one. I did buy a few NES (and Master System) games from the Wii Virtual Console in 2010 which was great. Then, in 2012, I discovered Emulation and downloaded a load of NES (and SNES, MD, MS, GB, GBC and CPS1) ROMs for my newly acquired 'Dingoo: A330'. That Handheld broke so I replaced it with a 'BittBoy: Pocket-Go'. I rebought NES games on my [dark metallic blue] N3DS:XL but by then, the NES love had died. It was a fantastic first System to own but, as of Tues 25th June 2024, I'm all NES'd-out.

I agree. Sega brought something out of Nintendo that no console company ever done. Nintendo were at the height of their tenure when the Sega Genesis was in the market. Sega made them want to make better games and SNES ' RPG lineup was legendary and the Sega Genesis had the shmups out the ass. Great time in gaming indeed

I still love the intro so much, it has everything... Ghostly holograms of Ecco, and Sonic & Tails... a ghostly glimpse of NiGHTS as he flies by and hits the high notes in the theme song. ^Wait, didn't the Game Gear used to have a glimpse of Dreamcast Ecco in it? (Because I miss that, if I'm recalling that correctly.)

Love all your videos and your channel growing up in 80s and 90s best time ever especially playing games on holiday break from school nes was start of great home consoles so many fun games remember how exciting I was for nes at Christmas once I had super nes and genesis that's all I focused on until Nintendo 64

Dope video Sega Lord X!!! I may have to check out some of these games on my Modded NES Mini (I also own a OG NES w/o games released in 1994), with Tecmo NBA Basketball being the latest NES release - released in November 1992

It's nice to remember that not everybody experienced the NES only until 1990. I still played a hand me down SNES in 2002 until the GBA made it "obsolete". Gaming in general was just too new to me for 16 bit to feel ancient.

Since Chrontendo won't be getting to 1994 until 2050 or so, thanks for doing this year!

I remember all the Nintendo myths back then. Like being at my grandparents house around 89 asking if my cousins and I could play on their living room tv only for her to say “no I heard they ruin tvs” with a group of 8 year olds responding “but they’re made for tvs!”.

I still adore Mega Man 6 to this day. Lovely background visuals, some of the best tunes in the series, tight gameplay and overall a food note to end its 8bit run on. As for Chip 'n Dale 2, it's one of the three remaining NES grails I've vowed to get someday.

It's really weird that many of these late releases today are so revered not only for the price but for the technical side and gameplay. I remember in 1994 seeing these on shelves but not caring because we considered the NES "ancient and old" and kinda looked down on it. but now it's retro and cool. Tells you how we really don't appreciate things when we easily have them.

Crystalis was my favorite NES game. It had a 1993 release I think though same with MM6, dragon warrior4 and Kirby Dream Land. Amazing last games

Wow, I enjoyed this video so much more than I was expecting. I didn't properly get into console gaming until the Mega Drive, having previously played a few games on my younger brother's Master System. Living in Europe, the NES also wasn't anywhere near as popular as in the USA, so it wasn't on my radar back in the day. I've tried some of the most obvious (first party) NES games more recently but found them a bit basic. But several of the games presented in this video have piqued my interest... the graphics, sound, music all way above what I thought the NES capable of, with really interesting gameplay. I'll definitely be checked these out on my Steam Deck.

Good video dude... I have Chip & Dale Rescue Rangers 2, TMNT Tournament Fighters, Mega Man VI (all of which I can play on my modern Xbox Series X) in 'The Disney Afternoon Collection', TMNT Cowabunga Collection & The Mega Man Legacy Collection 1 compilations.

Exactly. What really made Mega Man hard was the platforming and it wasn't even hard after 2. The games got easier to me. This was due to the slide and charging buster cannon. It broke the other games to me

NES is still my favorite console after more than 35 years since I first got one for Christmas in '89 (Genesis eventually became my #2 later in life). Bonk on the NES really is a well done port, though the difficulty is a bit on the easy side.

the first Star Tropics was also US only and the series was designed for US gamers

I'm Nintendo 1994 Lord X and I WILL catch you next time

My Parents bought the Sega master system first, and a few years after the Nes. Nes had some good games, but we always went back to Sega. I know how I sound, but they worked their asses off with more than one job both for years and they saved as much as they could, and I can go on

Ah, the golden age of gaming. Before the dark times. Before the Empire.

Thank you Sega Lord X. Amazing video. I didn’t know most of the games.

Great video as always Segalord! It would be great seeing your opinion with late releases on other platforms such as the 3DO :)

The Crash Dummies game is pretty interesting. It's a Canadian game, but the music of the handheld ports is based on the PAL NES version. (And the composers are British) Makes you wonder, which frequency it's meant to be played at.

Mega Man 6 is an overlooked NES gem!

Thannks! I love the late stage Nintendo 8 bit games.

I grew up playing TMNT tournament fighters on the NES at my cousin's place. The soundtrack is CLASSIC and one of my favorites on the system. Shredder and Casey Jones are super OP FYI.

8-bit to 16-bit represented iterative evolution, unlike the significant leap to 32/64-bit. The transition to "128-bit" from 32/64-bit was similarly substantial. Nice video, an idea. Covering each year for all machines?

I find it amazing that the NES lasted for almost ten years. I'm even writing a little assessment on the final years of the console and the games associated with it. (1991--1994) Also releasing at nearly the same time as the NES Lion King game was the NES version of Aladdin, quite possibly the worst version of the Virgin Interactive game due to NMS Technologies porting it from the Gameboy version. (Akin to what was done with the NES ports of Jungle Book and Lion King)

Pretty interesting that the nes was still alive when we had 32 bit hardware

Yikes, the lion king looks rough! Great video brother!

Alfred Chicken looks like loads of fun

It's funny to think the NES was still getting games in the year games like "Donkey Kong Country" and "Sonic and Knuckles" came out. It shows how well NES games age, and even though it's old hardware it's sounds, look, and stuff still have appeal. I disagree that Wario's Woods is that hard, (also there's a kick ability that helps too) in fact it's one of the few puzzle games that I was able to beat all 100 stages in. I also liked the boss stages, and the method for beating them is more direct, and not just a VS 2-player computer mode.

Little did I know back then that MegaMan 6 would be the last game of the franchise I would play on the NES. I enjoyed every minute of playing them all. When my kids were growing up they played the NES with me until they were old enough for a PS2 they would judge my dates on whether or not they have beaten Contra like seriously lol and now they are playing games with their kids

Yep. After I got my snes it was game over for my nes until years later.

There are some hidden gems in the later releases they are also some of the most expensive

I had a peculiar history with the NES. In my earliest years I only knew about the SNES and Genesis (and maybe the PS1). The only NES games I played were through Super Mario All-Stars and Dr. Mario (via the 2-in-1 with Tetris). It wasn't until when I got accustomed with MAME that I found out about the PlayChoice-10 and VS. System series of releases. This introduced me to the likes of Mega Man 3, Castlevania, Ninja Gaiden, TMNT and its sequel, Ice Climber, Dunk Hunt, Excitebike, Balloon Fight, Punch-Out, and even the Super Mario Bros. trilogy in their original form.

Startropics 1 & 2 ought to be added to the Nintendo Online Service!

Both games are on Nintendo Switch Online.

The NES was my first ever console and I Hadn’t even played these games although Chip n Dales 2 would interest me as would Wario’s Woods.

I love Wario's Woods, when I was younger I'd start up Animal Crossing just so I could go into my house and play it- It kicked my ass but it was fun. I recently got back into it on NSO and the physicality of controlling a character instead of the blocks themselves is very intuitive to me but holy moly does this game get intense on the later levels, the entire screen will be filled up to the top and if you make one bad move or hesitate for a second, you lose. Love that game, gotta nab a cart for myself someday

Used to be we'd get simultaneous releases bridging last gen and next gen hardware. Nowadays companies will just wait a couple years after a new console is out, and call it a remsater for the same price.

I miss playing the old NES❤

18:45 - 18:55 I think 3rd party developers felt the same way about the PS1. I feel like that’s why early demo discs came with games like Loaded, Twisted Metal and Mortal Kombat 3 while later discs had stuff like Tigger’s Honey Hunt and Play with the Tellitubbies.

Great way to end the weekend 💯🔥🤘

Thanks bro.

@17:53 one more important thing to note about The Lion King on NES? The game abruptly ends after the Hakuna Matata level (i.e. its missing the entire 2nd half of the game with adult Simba). Even the terrible GB version, which is basically the NES game but somehow less bad, had levels with adult Simba, but not on NES. Truly baffling.

Keep them coming!

Deja vu monster party and manic mansion were my favorites.

The music in Mega Man VI was clearly a major inspiration for the music in The Messenger!

Wow - the Lion King looked like an early work in progress, not a retail ready release...!

Such a short lived console gen felt like the most epi 😮😮 it less directly to the next gen, as an extension

Great video as always. Is anyone hearing a popping noise in the audio though?
