How often can that be said? A testament to its razor-sharp gameplay.īut when push came to shove, and I had to solidify these rankings, and I had to do one last look back at all of my decades’ worth of gaming memories, and I think about what games I’m going to be playing with my three sons in the near future, Turtles in Time jumps to the top of the list. That game kicks my ass, and makes me feel good about it. Oh, and my respect for Knights of the Round? Through the roof.
It’s a true gem in the Super Nintendo library. That’s more of a recent love, dating back a mere decade at this point, but it’s another game I can endlessly play through without ever getting sick of it. Arguing that particular game’s merits is a hill I’m willing to die on. It’s one of the very first games I ever owned, and it’s one of the few games that I’ve played through at least a hundred times.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I LOVE Battletoads Double Dragon. That just happened, right before I wrote this. I have thousands of games on my shelf, and I got shit to get to!īut I did. I compulsively move on to something else. I don’t jump back into games I just beat. Not only that, I actually had to refrain from doing it a third time. And yet, here we are in 2022, and I just played through it two consecutive times earlier tonight. It has long ceased to hold any surprises for me. See, I’ve been playing this game for over thirty years at this point. Because, as I was playing through Turtles IV again, just recently - in the name of refreshing myself on some of its finer details - I had a revelation. In fact, I definitely had it below a couple of its peers in the fairly recent past…īut I changed my tune. Hell, once upon a time I myself had Turtles in Time a bit lower in these rankings. Those games all rule, so I would never fault anyone for preferring any of them. They might try to explain why this Turtles game is “overrated,” and how those games offer more depth, more challenge, or more. They’re gonna point out games like Ninja Warriors, Final Fight, and anything else they fancy. The best brawler on the Super Nintendo? It certainly appears that’s the shot I’m calling.
