Episode 50 - When the Super Nintendo launched in August of 1991, its launch lineup was solid, but small. The legendary Super Mario World was of course the pack-in game, but the only other games on the shelf that day were Pilotwings and F-Zero. While Sega would latch on to the fact that, having released two years prior, the Genesis had a much larger library, several games were released on the Super Nintendo in 1991 that have come to be considered absolute classics on the system. Gradius III, one of the best shooters on the console, came out about a week after launch, and other noteworthy titles released that year include ActRaiser, Final Fantasy II, Super Ghouls'n Ghosts, and Super Castlevania IV.
Show Notes:
- That is veteran character actor “Mike Starr” in the SNES commercial at the beginning of the video.
- This is the longest "documentary" style episode I've ever made, at just over 1 hour long.
- The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past was originally announced as an Autumn 1991 release, but the game was delayed until early 1992.
- Work began on this video in June of 2017, and the episode was finished 10 minutes before midnight on December 31st.
- All gameplay footage was captured using an RGB-modded model 2 Super Nintendo upscaled through a Framemeister and recorded using an Elgato Game Capture HD.

-
What I really like is that you shine a light on all the devs and surroundings.
-
I would be so stoked to see you upload a Super Nintendo in 1992. (or 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996.. haha) These videos are amazingly well done. You are an evoker of nostalgia in your own league.
-
It amazes me how small channels like this can create such great content that will never be seen by the masses and large ones can crank out crap for the world to see. Keep up the great work!
-
I'm in the process of re-watching this episode on a daily basis because this is CGQ gold extra-plus. Classic Gaming Quarterly is the real deal on video game documentaries, nothing else comes close.
-
Fun fact: The first commercial in this video with the parents? The father plays the hitman in dumb and dumber.
-
wow what a treat this was. i grew up playing these titles and i must say you did an excellent job with this video. bravo.
-
I like how you capture video footage from the actual system where possible instead of an emulator, that's much appreciated.
-
Another killer retrospective of one of my favourite years in gaming. I bought the SNES the day after Christmas, and the first game I rented was Super Castlevania 4. I was in heaven. Your video brought me back to that day, my man. Awesome, awesome work.
-
The day of comeing home on Fridays from school and my parents taking me to local movie store to rent a game and comeing home and chilling and not care in the wolrd but to beat the game be4 I had take it back.
-
Is this seriously an hour long SNES documentary? I fucking love you.
-
Your channel is a one of the best Youtube! I remember seeing the Super Nintendo in 1991. It was on a TV show, the games were Super Mario and World and F-Zero. Amazing games for the time! F-Zero with the graphical effects of Mode 7. Yes! They're incredible even today! Greetings from Brazil. :)

I just received a bunch of original SNES games for Christmas! Lol I’m honestly enjoying these games a lot more than most of the games on my PS4.
-
Great job, dude. I love that you chose to focus on ONE year only. I love the length. I'm still only half way through but i appreciate what you do a great deal.💜
-
Holy shit! an hour long video from one of the best Youtube channels to start they year!
-
I was 11 when SNES was released, and was one of the kids who got it for Christmas. I went to visit some friends of the family and the kid there who was my age had gotten a Sega Genesis. I remember looking at Sonic while he played it and thinking how much better it looked then Super Mario World did in the 30 minutes I was able to play it before we had to leave. After getting back home and playing well into the night, all my doubts disappeared. It's funny to think back and remember how happy you were capable of being as a kid into video games. Ripping off the wrapping paper and seeing the SNES logo was as close to a spiritual experience as I'll ever have LOL!
-
Your videos are straight quality, loving them man !
-
Dance Of The Holy Men is by far my most loved CASTLEVANIA theme,the moment it started playing a 2nd time at the games end,I smirked at Dracula.
-
20 minutes in I'm still watching this on the toilet. Amazing vid as always.

My favorite part of this entire video: 00:16. A newspaper insert for Kaybee Toys which has since folded (as well as Toys - R - Us as of May 2018) I feel so old every time I view these videos, but don’t care. I’m just glad I was able to be a part of platform gaming which contributed to the industry as a whole as well as improving it.
