One amazing fight game. Amazing style combat.amazing control style.amaxing graphics.amazing music. Spended so many hours back in the day.crushing bones and ripping flesh.
This looks like a fun game, shame I missed out on it originally. Graphically the SNES definitely wins this round, better color, slightly more detailed backgrounds, but the Genny version still looks amazing too and in some cases had the better color saturation. I'd love to see this game get a full on HD remake akin to the Killer Instinct reboot, hell, use the same engine as that game because it is smooth like honey butter.
Interestingly enough, this was the first and only game to be released with X-Band in mind (a modem that allowed you to play online on Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis) I believe it is the only game that has the Xband logo on boxart.
Graphics: SNES has the color edge, but Genesis holds it's own. Sound: Clarity I have to give it to the Genesis. Even the voice samples sound better on Sega. But I'll give the instrumentation to the SNES. I've played both versions, and both play just about the same, but I'll give the button layout to Sega. That 6 button controller was the best out there at the time. Anyway, just my 2 cents. Oh, and FIRST!!!
It may seem that way of the voicing being louder and clearer but it's because the voicing intends to interrupt or overlap the music in the background. It's very common on most genesis games. If you listen carefully the music lowered when the announcer's speaks while in the Snes the voicing and music is just balanced.
@@Theshark15z Well, if the music on the Genesis wasn't pure FM, that would be true. But, they are using the 6th channel as PCM for voices/sound effects. But I think this is using GEMS. If they had written their own driver, or used another where devs have figured out how to split the PCM channel, software mix, or as in Mega Turrican's case, add another channel, the music could have been so much better. But most western composers were lazy with the Genesis, and just did the bare minimum.

On megadrive, gameplay is more fluid and colors are darker which makes the game look better imo. But on SNES the sounds and music is much much better. Honnestly idk which version is really the best.
The first stage looks decidedly better on the SNES with additional parallax in the background plus shimmering for the background flare and the flame glowing in the arena. The rest of the levels look about on par with each other apart from slight variations in palette choices for the most part. Some of the fighters have a bit more colour on the SNES though, as does the map screen when levels are beaten, and you can actually see the level backgrounds behind the HUD rather than it being obscured by it. Overall I'd say the SNES wins. Apart from that very last logo screen, strangely. :-o
I'm not sure, but the Mega Drive version looks to have more frames of animation? Sound is better on the Mega Drive, but that could just be me loving the sound of the ym2612. Can someone else please check the frames out? Also, is the Mega Drive version 324 high? That's why the border is holding the energy bars at the top? Cheers.

A shame that the Mega Drive version doesn't run in the system's higher resolution (320x224 pixels) but instead runs in the same limited resolution as SNES (256x224 pixels) :/ both versions look good but the Mega Drive one would have looked even nicer in 320x224 pixels... Anyway it's a game that I've yet to play but from what I've heard, SNES version has broken combos. Also I wouldn't be surprised if the Mega Drive version has better controls, more responsive, just like many other multiplats. I will see about all of this but I can already thank you for the video, silenig ;)

More responsive, huh? Did the SNES controller have latency issues? Just asking because I'm not familiar with the controller's hardware on either system.
Se a versão do Mega Drive estivesse na resolução 320x240 , o HUD poderia ser construído com sprites, eliminando as horríveis barras negras. Mesmo como essa desvantagem o Mega tem a melhor versão, tem muito melhor resposta dos controles jogabilidade é 90% de um jogo de luta.

Gostei das 2 versões!! Só joguei a do Mega!! Achei demais!! Eu gosto mais do som do Mega nesse jogo mais pesado e alto!! A do SNES é mais aveludado mais muito abafado!! Nos gráficos o SNES leva vantagem!! Tem mais efeitos de Paralax!! Entre outros detalhes nas cores que ele leva vantagem!! Mas são ótimas versões!
Achei a versão do Mega com cores mais vivas, e alguns cenários melhores construídos que no Super Nintendo, som no Mega levemente inferior... No geral gostei mais da Versão do Mega drive.
@@monstercatcher Ah, yes, that is indeed a strange ommission on SNES. I wonder if they went with a lower memory cart on SNES or something, otherwise I don't really see a good reason for not including the other fighter too. Edit: Although, it is apparenly fixed now: www.romhacking.net/hacks/4386/ So now Nintendoes! Edit 2: ua-cam.com/video/1HjrhPARR9Y/v-deo.html It turns out you could always play as all the characters but you simply had to enter a cheat for the last one on SNES, and the SNES version was the original version with the Genesis version worked on later in the developement, so I presume that gave them a chance to add a thing or two they maybe hadn't planned originally for the SNES version. So, Nintendid from the getgo (and with slightly better graphics and sound too)--and I suspect you actually already knew this but were just being a fanboy.
@@inceptional no i didnt know about it all... but thanks, and i agree with you about sounds and others specs... and no i im not a fanboy...kkk i just had a snes in my childhood... mega drive i just in nowadays...
You know I got to say I'd rather go with the Genesis. The Nintendo music seems muffled or like it's being covered or something. As well as it sounds seem a little dim. The Genesis is just comes out and the blade sounds and everything just sound probably about four times better. Yeah there are a few things extra and the backgrounds on the SNES but Genesis always ass rapes on the side-scroller fighting games
I think fighting games is one of the Genesis weaker genres, it does have some good multiplatform games that are better than on Snes (not all of them though) but that's about it and it's number of non multiplatform fighting games that are worth playing is really small next to the Snes.
@@oscarzxn4067 The Snes definitely gets the edge in the VS fighter genre. The Genesis was respectable getting solid ports of the Street Fighter's and MK's but didn't have the qauntity or high end exslusives outside of Eternal Champions compared to the Snes in the genre. Thankfully, if you're a Sega diehard the Saturn's fighting VS fighter libarary is an incredible strength and the genre only got better and more refined throughout the 90's.
@@supersexysega I'd say the best exclusive fighter for it was the Yuyu Hakusho game by Treasure, Eternal Champions is fine but has some issues like not having a combo system
@@oscarzxn4067 I remember reading Eternal Champions for the Sega CD added a combo system. Guy who wrote the WeaponLord faq on gamefaq said it’s one of his favorite games. Might want to check it out.
The music of the Genesis version sounds a lot like the one from a PC game called Maldita Castilla. I like the music on SNES, fits better the game, but I believe gameplay must be more fluid on Gens
Great points. Funny story. Back when the game had released and unfortunately failed. Whenever it would come up in conversation. People would always say. "Yeah that game looked great and sounded amazing, but the gameplay control was kinda whack" I would always tell people, you have to play it on Genesis, on that system the game just works perfectly. And they would look at me like... "Bruh, if it played badly on the SNES...the Genesis? C'mon..." lol this would infuriate me...
@@BendApparatus Genesis games are usually faster than SNES and this game on that console had a very stiff control, it was very difficult to do the special moves and even moving the character from side to side was tough...The game itself on both systems was very good overall, and on both had a very interesting arcade quality. The background music was killer (even more on SNES) but Genesis was good too. Don't know what you think but I believe it's a 50/50 win this time...
@@carlossantavilla2997 I preferred the Genesis version. I own both... I find the SNES version as you said...stiff and difficult to even move the characters...on top of that. The Ai is programed very cheap. It's relentless and uses poke tactics to corner you and reverses any attacks immediately into massive combos. The Genesis version on the other hand controls much smoother and loose. Also the AI is not only less aggressive but also engages the players differently by using normal attacks that allows for reversals and counters therefore functioning as a makeshift tutorial the game sorely lacks. tl;dr... I always have fun playing the Genesis version. Playing the SNES version is painfully frustrating. Also...the official Genesis 6 button fighting pad is a MUST...
Wow, the Genesis version has its moments of sounding better in the music department. That's a shame because this game came out after Final Fantasy 5, if not after FF6 and that game had WAY better music. Maybe Brian Schmidt was just no Nobuo Uematsu. And despite Nintendo's policy of censorship (even though they weren't the only ones), the end of Korr's finisher is surprisingly more violent. But honestly, the music could've been so much better. Sorry, Brian Schmidt (3-27-2020).
There's an WeaponLord 20 Years Anniversary Vid here on YT where one of the dudes making it tell you everything about possible weapon interaction etc. Plus you can find the Snes & Gen User Manual in some forums
@@devilzdandruff9199 Maybe in terms of your preference to the look, but in most stages the SNES is technically superior with more colours, an additional layer or parallax and a HUD that isn't stuck on a big black border that covers up like 1/5 of the screen.
@Robert Anthony Yeah, what I mean is there's not good reason for that being the case, even if it is the case. With some optimized code, the SNES version should be as fast and responsive as say Street Fighter II on SNES, which feels great. So it's ultimately just bad programming and/or design.
nope. genesis games often run at higher resolution than snes. look at toy story genny vs snes. genesis version has higher horizontal resolution. Look at videos from ua-cam.com/users/levelonerules. Many Genesis games run faster. One-person-dev indie dev also converted castle wolfenstein for genesis. It runs so much faster and smoother. The same person also made fzero.. called G zero and star fox... without super fx chip needed. Capcom dev Shinji Mikami (directed Resident evil on ps1) also liked Genesis version of Aladdin better.
i grew up believing snes was more powerful too. I got genny first, then bought snes to play its vast rpg library. Super Street fighter for example. The genesis version ROM size was so huge at 40mbit, while snes rom was at 32mbit. The were tons of missing animation on snes version.
@@praystation The SNES is capable of showing more colors on screen at a time, but yes; the Genesis has a better CPU and bigger resolution. Also the size of the rom on the cartridge has nothing to do with how powerful the console is.
snes version is overall better, more render area, better sound, better graphics, maybe the framerate in genesis is more solid, and the color palette in bane scenary I feel is better in genesis too.

If you look closely, they both have limited view field. The Genesis version has one wide bar at the top, while the SNES version has a thin black strip at top and bottom.
@@My2Cents1 Yeah, and at least you can see the game behind the HUD on the SNES. After final analysis it looks like the SNES wins graphically on most levels, with strangely the end logo screen being one time where the Genesis looks dramatically better with the wave effect and flames. Kinda makes it strange that both versions went with the static logo screen at the start of the game.
Snes has better colors, and soem more details, visually looks better, sound is a tie (but it depends on personal taste, i like a lil bit more the snes sound), buuuuuuuuuut the reason why the genesis version is better is because you have 7 playable characters on the go for story mode instead of the 6 snes has.
@@mauricemike2927 nope, i confirmed that what im saying Is correct , you DO NOT have the 7 chars on the story mode by just inserting the cartridge. Basically you confirmed that u do not read well AND Jump to an answer based on something "else" like unlocking something AND saying other are not right because of it.

@@xTerrySunderlandx Come on 🤣, we both know that it's a poor argument you're making for genesis and you edited your messages, stop pretending 😉 Basically you confirmed you are a little liar, so thx for this waste of time, you really have no interest. Bye little "liar" editor!!
@@RainerLuizFonseca brighter colors don't make a better game. The gameplay is better that's how so. The Genesis version Looks more realistic in the color pallette, while your fucking brighter easter colors look more cartoonish and retarded.
This is a SNES game ported amply to the Mega Drive. The music in the Mega Drive was not done with much care though. There’s like, almost no difference. But it’s an SNES game so it makes good use of subtle shading and the music plays to the SNES sound chip’s strengths so SNES wins by a small margin like who gives a flying fuck I don’t know.
@ Não tem não! E que no Mega o sétimo personagem no canto e o último boss que já vem habilitado, no Snes precisa fazer um código pra habilitar ele ou então simplesmente fazer final que ele já aparece na seleção de escolha no modo história. Mas se vc colocar direto no versus nem código precisa fazer pq ele já aparece normalmente.
Ta louco o MD ganha praticamente em tudo, as músicas e vozes estão bem melhores no MD, fora a jogabilidade melhor também. Som do Snes é sempre a mesma bosta, as famosas cornetas abafadas kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Genesis plays better, smoother i think the controls are easier on the genesis IIRC. But that music is horrible! SNES has much better sound. I like the brighter colors as well. I think the BG looks better on SNES too. I've always wonderd if a playstation version was made, it would be the best of both worlds and a full voice cast lime Castlevania SOTN.
I think it does have better blood effects. Notice after the corpse on snes version when the corpse of the victim was laying it kept squirting blood even after fight... I didn't notice that on the Genesis. Sega version did have the effects but it stopped when the fight was over, but the SNES kept bleeding
Wayyy better finisher on genesis. More fighter frames on genesis. 6 button and smoother gameplay. More blood splatter on genesis and better weapon sounds. Snes wins only in colors and a few levels is all i can say.
All graphics seems better on the Snes... Most os scenarios show at least one extra parallax layer and the color palete is much better. The sound effects are great on Genesis, but the music is "synthetic", unnatural. The music in Snes are pure orchestra.
SNES can add more color on screen than SEGA. The pixilation on the SNES is better. The far background for the SNES has more depth while SEGAs looks flat. SNES for the win.
@Robert Anthony snes fans give much more credit to genesis while genesis fans litteraly gives no credit for one of the best games ever like smw, alttp, ct, ff6, super metroid and their best arguments is "lol they are same as the nes games no improvment" or "snes didn't aged well cropped resolution slow processor" they don't care about gameplay or visuals they are just like how many shit is on screen or which console is technically more powerful they don't care about games at all
A do snes tem realmente na parte tecnica nesse caso é superior em tudo, eles rodam na mesma resolução, mas o Mega coloca mais barras laterais pretas, tem mais efeitos, a animação é mais fluida aqui, o som é melhor mas nem tanto, na gameplay realmente no MD é mais facil de jogar mas acredito que fizeram isso para facilitar o jogo, ele veio depois para MD e possivelmente já haviam reclamações na dificuldade de dar os golpes, mas é uma comparação interressante, normalmente o Snes nã ocostuma superar em quase tudo assim, o engraçado é ver a imparcialidade, se fosse o oposto, teria uma lista detalhada de cada feito que o MD fez! kkkkkk
A musica no snes e mt mal feita cara, no mega drive e mt melhor so que no mega as vozes tem um problema mas pq as empresas tinham dificuldade de programar pra esse chip. Os jogos da própria sega n tem esse problema.
Both these are kinda terrible lol. Genesis music is the same terrible midi sound as all other Genesis games ever, and samples sound clipped, like tearing velcro. The SNES version sounds muffled AF, and it could do a lot better had they just spent the extra money on a bigger cartridge. Both games seem to play really slow and awkward.
@@furballbear Even the controls and stuff? I'm just curious because this is often something Genesis fans bring up in these vs videos and say the SNES versions of games are sluggish and just don't feel as good.
Msm o mega sendo melhor em jogabilidade eu prefiro a versao do snes, eu acho o som e grafico melhor, mas eu acho melhor por motivo de gosto msm nao que mega é horrivel bosta, mega é muito bom mas o som dele em alguns casos desanima muito, encomoda joga num som assim, jogo bom com som ruim encomoda demais, eu nao vo joga sem som, muito broxante faze isso

Well, he said Genesis games were more responsive than SNES games. That's what I was replying to.
Snes has the parallax scrolling down!
One of a few games that had online play on SNES
genesis for me its got that vibe do you know what i am talking about, both is good almost a draw, the genesis voice over are awesome!
Se a versão do Mega Drive estivesse na resolução 320x240 , o HUD poderia ser construído com sprites, eliminando as horríveis barras negras. Mesmo como essa desvantagem o Mega tem a melhor versão, tem muito melhor resposta dos controles jogabilidade é 90% de um jogo de luta.
Cagado no som e nos gráficos. Barras negras é do menos. Jogo de luta raramente Snes perde.
I have to give it to the snes especially on Zarack music
Caramba,o SNES parece q usa o mesmo tom de música em todos jogos ashuabaua abafado,meguinha se sobressai nos efeitos❤️
Very Excellent Video I love WeaponLord And I really would like them to make a great comeback with this saga since the Visual Concept company is making games hopefully and they decide and do the same thing that Wraner Nethrearm did with Mortal Kombat in case Visual Concept I hope that companies like Netherream Waner Games buy the rights or Capcom or even Namco that was the distributor of this game I can imagine it with these Mortal Kombat 9, 10 11 style graphics Street Fighter IV Street Fighter VI, even Soul Calibur And Tekken With Those State-of-the-art Graphics Engines Fluid Gameplay A Very Good And Abundant Number Of Entry Fighters And After DLC Of New Fighters And With A Story Mode In The Style Of Mortal Kombat 9 Mortal Kombat X And Mortal Kombat 11 And That Expand The Saga I Dream Of A Big Remake And A Big Comeback Although I'd Like To Dream And I Want To See It A WaponLord vs Golden Axe Fighting Game I Really Do. And Golden Axe vs WeaponLord
Gostei das 2 versões!! Só joguei a do Mega!! Achei demais!! Eu gosto mais do som do Mega nesse jogo mais pesado e alto!! A do SNES é mais aveludado mais muito abafado!! Nos gráficos o SNES leva vantagem!! Tem mais efeitos de Paralax!! Entre outros detalhes nas cores que ele leva vantagem!! Mas são ótimas versões!
Jogabilidade do mega bem melhor, algo perceptível somente jogando, por vídeo esse aspecto importante passa batido.
Sega love!
Achei a versão do Mega com cores mais vivas, e alguns cenários melhores construídos que no Super Nintendo, som no Mega levemente inferior... No geral gostei mais da Versão do Mega drive.
Sega does what NintenDont!
🤣 Exactly ..... Being better 🤣🤣🤣
Which in this case is what? It's certainly not more colours or more parallax layers or richer sound. . . .
@@inceptional one more fighter.
@@monstercatcher Ah, yes, that is indeed a strange ommission on SNES. I wonder if they went with a lower memory cart on SNES or something, otherwise I don't really see a good reason for not including the other fighter too.
Edit: Although, it is apparenly fixed now: www.romhacking.net/hacks/4386/
So now Nintendoes!

It turns out you could always play as all the characters but you simply had to enter a cheat for the last one on SNES, and the SNES version was the original version with the Genesis version worked on later in the developement, so I presume that gave them a chance to add a thing or two they maybe hadn't planned originally for the SNES version.
So, Nintendid from the getgo (and with slightly better graphics and sound too)--and I suspect you actually already knew this but were just being a fanboy.
@@inceptional no i didnt know about it all... but thanks, and i agree with you about sounds and others specs... and no i im not a fanboy...kkk i just had a snes in my childhood... mega drive i just in nowadays...
You know I got to say I'd rather go with the Genesis. The Nintendo music seems muffled or like it's being covered or something. As well as it sounds seem a little dim. The Genesis is just comes out and the blade sounds and everything just sound probably about four times better. Yeah there are a few things extra and the backgrounds on the SNES but Genesis always ass rapes on the side-scroller fighting games
I think fighting games is one of the Genesis weaker genres, it does have some good multiplatform games that are better than on Snes (not all of them though) but that's about it and it's number of non multiplatform fighting games that are worth playing is really small next to the Snes.
@@oscarzxn4067 The Snes definitely gets the edge in the VS fighter genre. The Genesis was respectable getting solid ports of the Street Fighter's and MK's but didn't have the qauntity or high end exslusives outside of Eternal Champions compared to the Snes in the genre.
Thankfully, if you're a Sega diehard the Saturn's fighting VS fighter libarary is an incredible strength and the genre only got better and more refined throughout the 90's.
@@supersexysega I'd say the best exclusive fighter for it was the Yuyu Hakusho game by Treasure, Eternal Champions is fine but has some issues like not having a combo system
@@oscarzxn4067 I remember reading Eternal Champions for the Sega CD added a combo system. Guy who wrote the WeaponLord faq on gamefaq said it’s one of his favorite games. Might want to check it out.
You guys need to check Power Rangers Fighting Edition and Gundam Wing for the Super Nintendo
Better contraste with megadrive!
The music of the Genesis version sounds a lot like the one from a PC game called Maldita Castilla. I like the music on SNES, fits better the game, but I believe gameplay must be more fluid on Gens
Great points.
Funny story.
Back when the game had released and unfortunately failed.
Whenever it would come up in conversation. People would always say. "Yeah that game looked great and sounded amazing, but the gameplay control was kinda whack"
I would always tell people, you have to play it on Genesis, on that system the game just works perfectly.
And they would look at me like...
"Bruh, if it played badly on the SNES...the Genesis? C'mon..."
lol this would infuriate me...
@@BendApparatus Genesis games are usually faster than SNES and this game on that console had a very stiff control, it was very difficult to do the special moves and even moving the character from side to side was tough...The game itself on both systems was very good overall, and on both had a very interesting arcade quality. The background music was killer (even more on SNES) but Genesis was good too. Don't know what you think but I believe it's a 50/50 win this time...
@@carlossantavilla2997 I preferred the Genesis version. I own both...
I find the SNES version as you said...stiff and difficult to even move the characters...on top of that. The Ai is programed very cheap. It's relentless and uses poke tactics to corner you and reverses any attacks immediately into massive combos.
The Genesis version on the other hand controls much smoother and loose. Also the AI is not only less aggressive but also engages the players differently by using normal attacks that allows for reversals and counters therefore functioning as a makeshift tutorial the game sorely lacks.
tl;dr...
I always have fun playing the Genesis version. Playing the SNES version is painfully frustrating.
Also...the official Genesis 6 button fighting pad is a MUST...
The genesis (mega drive) sound is much better!
Snes looks like a casio keyboard...
😂😂😂
Are you crazy
Snes sound is so much better, your poor ears need a doctor 😆
Genesis Does.
Wow, the Genesis version has its moments of sounding better in the music department. That's a shame because this game came out after Final Fantasy 5, if not after FF6 and that game had WAY better music. Maybe Brian Schmidt was just no Nobuo Uematsu. And despite Nintendo's policy of censorship (even though they weren't the only ones), the end of Korr's finisher is surprisingly more violent. But honestly, the music could've been so much better. Sorry, Brian Schmidt (3-27-2020).
I wonder if the Genesis variant supported XBAND!?
One more comment; This game needed Sakimoto's Terpsachorean driver badly!
I wish i could find a guide for this game.
There's an WeaponLord 20 Years Anniversary Vid here on YT where one of the dudes making it tell you everything about possible weapon interaction etc. Plus you can find the Snes & Gen User Manual in some forums
The genesis version looks and sounds worse but plays a lot better, more fun to play than the snes version
The Genesis version looks better to me.
@@devilzdandruff9199 Maybe in terms of your preference to the look, but in most stages the SNES is technically superior with more colours, an additional layer or parallax and a HUD that isn't stuck on a big black border that covers up like 1/5 of the screen.
@Robert Anthony For no good reason.
@Robert Anthony Yeah, what I mean is there's not good reason for that being the case, even if it is the case. With some optimized code, the SNES version should be as fast and responsive as say Street Fighter II on SNES, which feels great. So it's ultimately just bad programming and/or design.
não da pra levar seguista a serio mesmo, eles dizem que ate sunset riders é melhor no
"mega som de gargarejo com arroto drive"
For me, Sega wins on audio, Nintendo wins on background graphics, a tie for character sprites. I‘d go for Genesis/MegaDrive.
The brightness and the colors are better in Megadrive!
I never knew how under powered the Genesis was compared to the SNES. I never really played Genesis much though, never knew anyone that had one.
nope. genesis games often run at higher resolution than snes. look at toy story genny vs snes. genesis version has higher horizontal resolution. Look at videos from ua-cam.com/users/levelonerules. Many Genesis games run faster. One-person-dev indie dev also converted castle wolfenstein for genesis. It runs so much faster and smoother. The same person also made fzero.. called G zero and star fox... without super fx chip needed. Capcom dev Shinji Mikami (directed Resident evil on ps1) also liked Genesis version of Aladdin better.
i grew up believing snes was more powerful too. I got genny first, then bought snes to play its vast rpg library. Super Street fighter for example. The genesis version ROM size was so huge at 40mbit, while snes rom was at 32mbit. The were tons of missing animation on snes version.
@@praystation The SNES is capable of showing more colors on screen at a time, but yes; the Genesis has a better CPU and bigger resolution. Also the size of the rom on the cartridge has nothing to do with how powerful the console is.
Stop stirring the pot.
This game suits the genesis better
snes version is overall better, more render area, better sound, better graphics, maybe the framerate in genesis is more solid, and the color palette in bane scenary I feel is better in genesis too.
Will namco ever release this digitally?
They should since they were the distributors if they buy the rights to visual concept it would be a success
Very Excellent Video I love WeaponLord And I really would like them to make a great comeback with this saga since the Visual Concept company is making games hopefully and they decide and do the same thing that Wraner Nethrearm did with Mortal Kombat in case Visual Concept I hope that companies like Netherream Waner Games buy the rights or Capcom or even Namco that was the distributor of this game I can imagine it with these Mortal Kombat 9, 10 11 style graphics Street Fighter IV Street Fighter VI, even Souol Calibur And Tekken With Those Last Generation Graphic Engines Fluid Gameplay A Very Good And Abundant Number Of Entry Fighters And After DLC Of New Fighters And That Expand The Saga I Dream Of A Great Remake And A Great Comeback Although I Would Like A Dream And I Want To See It A WaponLord vs Golden Axe Fighting Game Really Yes.

Why does the SNES version have borders at the top and bottom when the SNES and Genesis have the same vertical resolution?
If you look closely, they both have limited view field. The Genesis version has one wide bar at the top, while the SNES version has a thin black strip at top and bottom.
@@My2Cents1 Yeah, and at least you can see the game behind the HUD on the SNES. After final analysis it looks like the SNES wins graphically on most levels, with strangely the end logo screen being one time where the Genesis looks dramatically better with the wave effect and flames. Kinda makes it strange that both versions went with the static logo screen at the start of the game.
SNES wins
The Genesis version's music sounds FREAKING AWESOME!!!
Jogão!!!
Snes has better colors, and soem more details, visually looks better, sound is a tie (but it depends on personal taste, i like a lil bit more the snes sound), buuuuuuuuuut the reason why the genesis version is better is because you have 7 playable characters on the go for story mode instead of the 6 snes has.
False! You have 7 characters in the snes too, but in the snes version you have to deserve the boss! 😉
@@mauricemike2927 i mean on story mode from the start, in vs mode you have all 7
So no...
My comment stand
@@xTerrySunderlandx 🤣🤣 ok so you confirmed your error, thx
@@mauricemike2927 nope, i confirmed that what im saying Is correct , you DO NOT have the 7 chars on the story mode by just inserting the cartridge.
Basically you confirmed that u do not read well AND Jump to an answer based on something "else" like unlocking something AND saying other are not right because of it.
So yeah.. thx for make that part of pedantery very clear ;)
@@xTerrySunderlandx Come on 🤣, we both know that it's a poor argument you're making for genesis and you edited your messages, stop pretending 😉
Basically you confirmed you are a little liar, so thx for this waste of time, you really have no interest.
Bye little "liar" editor!!
The Sega Genesis version is just a little bit better than the SNES version. Both are great games though.
how so? by having much worse color palete and effect?
@@RainerLuizFonseca brighter colors don't make a better game. The gameplay is better that's how so. The Genesis version Looks more realistic in the color pallette, while your fucking brighter easter colors look more cartoonish and retarded.
Super Nes looks better graphics and the gameplay is funny
@@subzero8679 Agreed. The washed out color palette really fits the Conanesque setting.
Don't Super Nes is mucho better, sound, graphics and background...
If I had the money I would remake this game.....
This is a SNES game ported amply to the Mega Drive. The music in the Mega Drive was not done with much care though.
There’s like, almost no difference.
But it’s an SNES game so it makes good use of subtle shading and the music plays to the SNES sound chip’s strengths so SNES wins by a small margin like who gives a flying fuck I don’t know.
The controls and difficulty were readjusted on Sega. The port actually benefits genesis version.
Snes.
...is the inferior version.
que surra que o Meguinha tomou! SNES WINS
Achei os cenários melhores no Snes, mas o Mega tem um personagem a mais!
@ Não tem não! E que no Mega o sétimo personagem no canto e o último boss que já vem habilitado, no Snes precisa fazer um código pra habilitar ele ou então simplesmente fazer final que ele já aparece na seleção de escolha no modo história. Mas se vc colocar direto no versus nem código precisa fazer pq ele já aparece normalmente.
Aonde? No áudio?
GuGah colocar o áudio em questão não dá em nenhum jogo. Nesse caso o cenário é mais fraco no mega e na animação dos personagens
Ta louco o MD ganha praticamente em tudo, as músicas e vozes estão bem melhores no MD, fora a jogabilidade melhor também.
Som do Snes é sempre a mesma bosta, as famosas cornetas abafadas kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
👍👍👍👍👍
Sega wins is my eggs
Sound is Gênesis!! Coulors os SNES!!
@@gugah5872 music?? Efects no
Snes has some better sound, the rest is equal
A música do super é melhor
Genesis plays better, smoother i think the controls are easier on the genesis IIRC. But that music is horrible!
SNES has much better sound. I like the brighter colors as well. I think the BG looks better on SNES too.
I've always wonderd if a playstation version was made, it would be the best of both worlds and a full voice cast lime Castlevania SOTN.
Gráfico e velocidade acho que o mega ganha mas o som no snes é melhor.
não
@@zennyman6239 blz então o som do mega e melhoe
snes ,everything is better
more scrolls,best colors,best sound.
Menos o controle.
I think it does have better blood effects. Notice after the corpse on snes version when the corpse of the victim was laying it kept squirting blood even after fight... I didn't notice that on the Genesis. Sega version did have the effects but it stopped when the fight was over, but the SNES kept bleeding
MD wins !!!!
snes
So sad no sequel
Just like always, Megadrive wins.
But why? Because unless it actually plays better, which is the intangible part of this video, it loses.
Wayyy better finisher on genesis. More fighter frames on genesis. 6 button and smoother gameplay.
More blood splatter on genesis and better weapon sounds.
Snes wins only in colors and a few levels is all i can say.
This 6 button controller for SNES obliterates that 6 button controller for Genesis: ua-cam.com/video/QRUMzw70Lvg/v-deo.html
* *SNES * WINS* *
Não mesmo, com esse som corneta abafada, Snes é difícil ganhar kkkkkk
Una vez más demostrado porq el snes es superior al sega
All graphics seems better on the Snes... Most os scenarios show at least one extra parallax layer and the color palete is much better. The sound effects are great on Genesis, but the music is "synthetic", unnatural. The music in Snes are pure orchestra.
In terms of overall presentation, graphics and sound, I'd say the SNES wins. But which version actually controls and plays better?
SNES can add more color on screen than SEGA. The pixilation on the SNES is better. The far background for the SNES has more depth while SEGAs looks flat. SNES for the win.
Shame the SNES version plays like ass.
@@CPS2 But how?
@@inceptional they say this for any game dont care
@Robert Anthony snes fans give much more credit to genesis while genesis fans litteraly gives no credit for one of the best games ever like smw, alttp, ct, ff6, super metroid and their best arguments is "lol they are same as the nes games no improvment" or "snes didn't aged well cropped resolution slow processor" they don't care about gameplay or visuals they are just like how many shit is on screen or which console is technically more powerful they don't care about games at all
Snes sempre melhor!!!
Sega Wins! Mais vivo as cores. ;)
Que lastima que no puedo entender los comentario igual saludos desde argentina
Se los puede traducir, algunos dicen que la version de sega es mejor, soy de argentina tambien
A do snes tem realmente na parte tecnica nesse caso é superior em tudo, eles rodam na mesma resolução, mas o Mega coloca mais barras laterais pretas, tem mais efeitos, a animação é mais fluida aqui, o som é melhor mas nem tanto, na gameplay realmente no MD é mais facil de jogar mas acredito que fizeram isso para facilitar o jogo, ele veio depois para MD e possivelmente já haviam reclamações na dificuldade de dar os golpes, mas é uma comparação interressante, normalmente o Snes nã ocostuma superar em quase tudo assim, o engraçado é ver a imparcialidade, se fosse o oposto, teria uma lista detalhada de cada feito que o MD fez! kkkkkk
o som do megadrive é muito estridente, incomoda, enquanto o do snes dá pra ouvir com volume alto
kkkkkkkk
A musica no snes e mt mal feita cara, no mega drive e mt melhor so que no mega as vozes tem um problema mas pq as empresas tinham dificuldade de programar pra esse chip. Os jogos da própria sega n tem esse problema.
A música no SNES me da a sensação de que ela tá parando
@@marcellomedeiros9078 No Rock n Roll Racing do MEGA, toda vez que o narrador fala algo, a música pára
Mega Drive Win!
Genesis all the way,! Snes version it's almost unplaybale!
Can you explain the difference here?
Nossa tem sangue no snes
nintendo always wins
Snes version is so much better, graphic like sound. Gen just is a little faster.
Both these are kinda terrible lol.
Genesis music is the same terrible midi sound as all other Genesis games ever, and samples sound clipped, like tearing velcro.
The SNES version sounds muffled AF, and it could do a lot better had they just spent the extra money on a bigger cartridge.
Both games seem to play really slow and awkward.
not as better then the Gen as i thought but no excuse for SEGA letting the SNES have the edge here
Nintendo wins one more time...of course.
Sega
Snes is clearly better.
Clearly! I've got both on my Raspberry Pi and the SNES version is far superior in every way.
@@furballbear
Apart from the music, samples, controls and overall gameplay.
@@furballbear Do the controls genuinely feel better on SNES and does it actually play better?
@@inceptional I prefer playing the SNES version. To me it seems better in every conceivable way.
@@furballbear Even the controls and stuff? I'm just curious because this is often something Genesis fans bring up in these vs videos and say the SNES versions of games are sluggish and just don't feel as good.
SNES Much better!
Hahahah yeah right. I'd say Genesis is just slightly better. SNES version is not that much different for it to be MUCH better than the Genesis one.
I agree about the snes
Barbarian women sure have nice thighs.😁
Super Nes wins
Não mesmo, MD leva fácil, som melhor, vozes melhores, melhor jogabilidade.
No MD o som da colisão das armas é muito mais cristalino.
Msm o mega sendo melhor em jogabilidade eu prefiro a versao do snes, eu acho o som e grafico melhor, mas eu acho melhor por motivo de gosto msm nao que mega é horrivel bosta, mega é muito bom mas o som dele em alguns casos desanima muito, encomoda joga num som assim, jogo bom com som ruim encomoda demais, eu nao vo joga sem som, muito broxante faze isso
На snes отвратительный звук,глухой и не четкий будто за стеной
SNES IS million times better. Sorry for Mega Drive 😢. What terrible sounds Weaponlord on a Sega, there si a Lot of missing sounds and animations.
Shitty game, but SNES clearly wins in this game.
Lol no
I agree
