WTF am I reading? It's dated as hell, and ridiculously binary and boring to play.

Good review, great game. Gives back more the more you play it, with the harder difficulty levels getting really intense and fun. Megadrive version with CRT is the best way to play it though. The game really doesn't need all these additional Switch hand-holding options either and the emulation version isn't gonna touch the OH CRT TV experience.

@Dragonslacker1 No idea on this version, but on the Megadrive it's simply pressing the button A.

Some shocking omissions really:

• Smash TV
• Blackthorne
• Biometal
• Pilotwings
• Super Tennis
• King of Demons
• Goemon 2
• Combat Tribes
• Batman Returns
  Etc.

They've gone for names over quality, and don't seem to recognize how poorly some of the grindy RPGs have held up. Earthbound is trash which is just obsessively loved by niche fans, and I wouldn't put my worst enemy through the drudge of playing it. Never mind include it over any of the games I listed. I sometimes wonder if the people who do these lists have actually played any SNES games outside of the usual 50-100 which everyone has played lol.

@HalBailman Any man who recognizes the SNES RPG's have dated FAR more than their action games is a wise man.

@mandlecreed For a system that's got around 1700 games, that's not THAT good lol

@Souflee Tbh I think the reviews actually quite fair. Without any nostalgic attachment this game just doesn't hold up. I can see why people loved it at the time, but going to it fresh now it's prety average.

@Souflee "Beat 'em up"? It's never been a beat 'em up. It's an isometric shooter.

Tried it today. It's pretty average at best. A poor man's Shining Force

@Sakisa Streets of Rage works far better.

God help the Switch if these are the best it has to offer. There's 2 Megadrive SHMUPS on there, and neither would even get in to my own top 10 SHMUPS on that system. It's a right B-grade selection.

@Luigi-la-bouncy Compared to SOR it's crap

This game is toss. I can't believe how hyped it is. It's built upon principles which made the worst Beat 'Em Ups of the 90's. Me & my mates are sticking to Streets of Rage.

Are you deaf? The Megadrive audio sounds WAY better than the SNES version.

Great review!

Looks awesome. Hope it lives up to it's visuals.

This game is toss. I think you were too kind to it to be honest.

@CammyUnofficial True, but you could still get them even back in the day. I had most on import.

@KimboJimbo They need to play more games.

Bad list. It's clear that the people who write these haven't played more than 100 odd SNES games. No Blackthorne, Biometal, King of Demons, Battle Master, Pocky & Rocky 1 & 2, Ogre Battle etc. yet The Lost Vikings gets in there? lol. Hell Secret of Mana isn't even as good as it's sequel. Reads like a list made by a complete noob new to SNES gaming, and not someone who should be judging which are the best games on the system.
