    I watch this video every Halloween season. Man, I miss the old Console Wars days. I have to say, I miss Greg as well. You guys complimented each other so well. Greg has that 'bully-ish dunce' act down. And Dan has that 'analytical and physical comedy' routine down. Great job, and Happy Halloween 2019!

If you are doing 2 player game you still had to buy a additional Nintendo controller.

      ***** shaq fu doesn't deserve the hate, it has very good pixel art, music and animations, it's clunky, but the megadrive version is actually better than the average fighting game on megadrive.. most of them are worse. pit fighter is shit dude, the only good thing it had were the digitized actors, that mortal kombat later on did a lot better. It has it's place in history, but it's a crappy game. ShaqFu instead is actually not bad at all but people hate it because the silly fact that it has shaq in it, and for the weird controls that were not like the others.

    3:19 The SNES screen is 256 x 192. The Megadrive is 320 x 224. The gameplay window is actually exactly the same pixel size on the Megadrive as it is on the SNES : If you stand in the same spot on both versions, you should be able to see exactly the same areas of the screen.
    This probably indicates a lazy port.

      The six button controller was released long before the game came out, but only started really replacing the three button controller in new store-bought Genesis consoles at around that time. So you'd have to have bought the new controller at some point if you already owned the Genesis.

  • @CaptainCaveman1170

    Even though the SNES version is technically better, here is one of those games where I just "like" the SEGA version more, warts and all. But honestly speaking, I prefer the rustic grittiness and edgy sound of the genesis over the boring polish of the SNES in general. Sometimes, though, the advantages of the SNES game are just too insurmountable, and I totally sympathize with Dan all those times when he is forced concede that truth! As far as the channel goes, I am so glad it exists, and that I stumbled upon it! I love that I almost always agree with both their opinions and conclusions. The 2 years between the consoles shines though almost every single time, which to me makes it all that much cooler whenever the genesis comes out ahead.

    The SNES version is the original game. The Genesis version was made by two guys in a very limited time frame - either shortly before release of the SNES version or shortly thereafter (I forgot which).
    The graphics were drawn for the SNES' 256x224 standard resolution (which 99,98% of all SNES games use).
    Instead of using the Genesis' 256x224 mode (like Capcom did with SF2) they decided to use the 320x224 mode instead. If they wanted to use that mode _and_ match the different screen ratio they'd have needed to redraw all graphics but they just moved everything to the left and added that black bar.

If people feel they are better on one system then theres not much you can say to prove otherwise as its based on opinion not on hardware this time unless one system was noticably shitty with lots of games. Personally i love both systems and I know for a fact snes is better at some games not just with graphics but with controls especially when you consider it has more buttons to map to whereas the Sega I have issues while emulating cause some games were 3 button pad and some were 6 buttons

    If you think holding one button down and pressing another slows things down, you're holding the genesis controller wrong. The three buttons are intended for index, middle and ring finger, resting the right side of the controller on your lap. This design is due to Sega's arcade herritage. That's why there are no shoulder buttons. Even on the SNES that's the best way to play some games that don't use the shoulder buttons, like mega man 7; you can jump and fire very fast independently, which you can't do by rocking your thumb back and forth across two buttons.

    Guess this game is the only Genesis game that looks better on a PAL Mega Drive, because the height on the image gets squished a bit (PAL has higher Y resolution then NTSC, but those extra pixels are never used for anything and just becomes black bars), and that compensates for the horizontally squished image due to the status bar =)

The genesis has creepy, subtle music while the Nintendo versions sound effects in the song sound goofy. I can conceded the button idea since using the 3 button controller was lame. And lets not talk about the effects, cause the chainsaw in the snes version sounds awful. Its the sound from link to the past when he hits a boss, versus the genesis where its clearly a chainsaw!

    I have to pause the video at the graphics part just to inform you that the Genesis version isn't "compressed". The gameplay area is exactly the same size in both versions, but what's happening is the SNES version is being stretched to the TV's aspect ratio. Genesis has a bigger screen resolution than the SNES, so it can fit the status off to the side, out of the way of the gameplay screen, so it isn't noticeably stretched like the SNES version.

      +Baigandine L I read an article lord knows how long ago from the creators. You can look it up yourself on Hardcore Gaming 101 for this game.
      This game was in development for both the Genesis and SNES at the same time. Also, on the site, it even shows screenshots from the game side by side, and you can see that the playing field on the Genesis and SNES is exactly the same size, but since the Genesis has a bigger resolution (the extra space is used for the HUD) than the SNES, TV's will stretch the screen for SNES games horizontally. You don't even have to take my word for it. Go see for yourself.

    • @baigandinel7956
      @baigandinel7956 8 років тому +1

      ***** Stretch implies you wanted the smaller screen in the first place. You are saying it is stretched not compressed. Many preferred the bigger graphics and full screen. Even if the size of the gameplay area is technically (comparatively) the same, everything is smaller and the side bar is distracting. It is true that the sidebar is an unusual feature. It would seem to me the game was intended primarily for the SNES.

    • @XBladenoJutsu
      @XBladenoJutsu 8 років тому +5

      +Baigandine L That's not technically the case back then. Stretching didn't imply the game was meant for a smaller screen, it's just SNES had no choice but to be stretched because of the lack of horizontal resolution to match TV aspect ratios. Sure, the game might have been started on the SNES slightly before the Genesis, maybe, but both playing areas are exactly the same size, and the TV doesn't know that it's supposed to keep the SNES at it's default resolution, so it stretches it to match the TV standard at the time. Regardless, the game is still fun on either system.

The Streets Of Rage soundtrack is one of the finest examples of truly great game music on any system and shows what the Genesis was capable of in the right hands. There is certainly no shortage of rubbish SNES game soundtracks either. Bart's Nightmare springs to mind, what a mess, plodding bleepy shite. Just goes to show that it's all about how you use it at the end of the day.

    Both versions are very worthy, almost I say it's a tie.
    Definition sounds better does not mean better sound. The SNES version is more instrumented, some sounds clearer but the mix is horrible. The sound section generally achieved in the version of Sega is more balanced and definitely sounds better.
    Regarding the gameplay, the map in this game is fundamental and have 2 mixed on screen maps is worse than having one always visible as in the version of Sega.
    That latter makes my point of view play on the Sega version is more satisfying.
