The 20 Most Dramatic SNES Game Over Screens

None of us likes to lose in video games, and even less if we see game over screens that make us so sad...



In general, one of the last things you want to do in a video game is die. It stops forward momentum, forces you to rebuild the terrain and, in terms of a difficulty spike, can become somewhat annoying. While games as a whole need some challenge to push the player and death isn't going to go away, some games take the opportunity to make that state of failure, that end-game screen, a part of making you feel really helpless, sad, and even a sense of utter failure.

For this video I explored the Super Nintendo catalog, looking for the most disturbing, dramatic and depressing game over screens. Don't watch this video if you are at an emotional low point!

In this video you will find:

• A game curation showcasing the harshest SNES game over screens
• Information related to each game such as release date, developer company, game genre and system it was released on.
• Official game box arts with a 3D presentation.
• Educative and/or critical comments on the importance of the video game and why you should play it

⚠️ All gameplay recording, game curation and opinions included in this video, as well as editing is completely done by me

Bits & Beats creates videos about the history of video games. In this channel you'll find comparisons, retrospectives, technical analysis, but, mostly, game curations with the idea of having an important task of preserving video games, and make them relevant to society at large.

Curation isn't just about digging up neat games, but it's also about preservation, interpretation, and using one's knowledge to make it relevant to people. With my videos I want older gamers to look back and remember the influence of video games on their lives, and new gamers to understand the larger context of the series they're playing for the first time today.

I put significant time and creative effort into each one of my videos, including research, digging into archives, playing video games and recording hours of footage, selecting specific clips, writing reviews for each title, and making a very careful video editing in the way to transmit both educational and entertaining values to my audience. Every video takes a lot of hours to produce, because I strive to give my audience a consistent, high-quality content.

Fidelity and preservation of the video games is essential in Bits & Beats, so the recordings are made with the highest bitrate quality. It is done this way to preserve original game look and sound through modern footage, with no superfluous additions. I recommend you watch the video at 4K and 60 frames per second to get the best possible viewing experience.

I hope you enjoy my videos and find them useful!
