      I have the 2014 version of this system with the 3 Streets of Rage games. If AT Games didn't put 40 bullshit games that nobody hardly ever play on it, there would have been enough space to put S3&K on it. (Also, the sound quality for the Sonic games are complete SHIT compared to the original Genesis versions.)

    For the Genesis, composite is preferred over HDMI. It has to do with some games heavily using dithering (relying on the blurring composite has to generate intermediate colors by placing a darker and a lighter color side by side rather than using a pixel of the actual color). If it was unfiltered HDMI Sonic and some other games would look absolutely bad.

    I own one of these and It works great. Sure the sound is a little weird but it can actually make it sound better in games like Sonic 2. But in some others,not so much. My main problem is that real Genesis cartridges sometimes get stuck inside the console and you have to pull really hard on it before it can pop out. This scares me as it could damage the cartridge.

    But I think the Genesis retro library has been mined pretty damn hard over the years. We've been seeing collections since the PS2 days.
    I'd honestly like to see Sega go deep and come with a CD-rom collection, with Sega-CD, Saturn, and Dreamcast games collected.
    Also, would it be THAT tough to talk to capcom and Konami, get the rights to digitally release Contra: Hard Corps and Castlevania bloodlines as well as Strider?

  • @Street_Hawk
    @Street_Hawk 7 років тому +6

    With the cartridge slot included, I'd consider the included games, a bonus. Also, there is a very good value for money since you literally have the whole Genesis console with built-in games. Also, those special 'arcade' games look kind of cool too. I'd definitely check them out.
    So as a product, I'd pick this one as a winner over the NES Classic.

  • @SpeedBoost

      I prefer the Super NES version just for the sole fact that it has all the playable characters and bosses since no one has to fight over which one gets to be the shotgun guy in 2P mode. The Genesis version is an interesting enough remix of the game to stand on its own though.

    • @usagijojo
      @usagijojo 7 років тому +1

      In some ways, yes. SNES has more unique stages, although I think the number of total stages might be the same, just the Genesis recycles each stage twice. SNES music is closer to the arcade's, although I do LOVE the slap bass sound they used on Genesis. But I think as is usual for Genesis vs. SNES, the game moves faster and feels more responsive on Genesis (primary advantage Gen has is a faster CPU, and it's a 68K to boot - arcade standard CPU of the time). Overall I do think SNES has the upper hand due to the greater number of unique stages, but Genesis is worth playing too if you love Sunset Riders and/or want to hear badass bass guitar music while playing.

So far, I’ve bought Alladin, Mortal Kombat, and Joe Montana Sports Talk Football, and they all work flawlessly. I also bought the wired controllers separately which are worth it. No HDMI is a drawback, but I think the newer Genesis flashbacks don’t have the same luck with getting cartridges to work.

    Thank you guys for doing a honest review 😃😃😃 so many bad reviews on this but I got one and do not think it is that bad. The cartridge slot is so good. Would be perfect if it was HDMI but u can't have everything and it so hard to please everyone.

    I got the 2014 one and I think it's good but mine had problems with the sound

      the sound issue is due to the Firecore Emulator's shoddy sound emulation

      The sound on the Genesis wasn't great but I've also heard that these things emulate the "bad sounding" soundchip poorly so it sounds even worse.

    I have this thing and it blows. The sounds/music are nothing like the original games...very few games are actually genesis classics or favorites. A lot of duds. The other 40 "computer games" are complete trash, there's probably like 10 or 15 games that are enjoyable. Oh, and if you're a mortal kombat fan, have fun because there's a glitch in the game where it ends before you fight goro.

      Agreed...a total piece of shit. I'd rather have a buffalo take a diarrhea dump in my ear...I'd rather eat the rotten asshole of a road-kill skunk & down it with beer, than have wasted $25 on this p.o.s.

      Not saying these things aren't shitty in all the ways mentioned, but mine doesn't glitch before goro.

    Be interesting to see if the master system converter works in this.

      My HDTV actually shows a pretty decent composite picture from even the portable AtGames (there's a fix for the audio on that device too)

    Both of them being with arms crossed says a LOT. They weren't getting along too well and hence the series ended. :(

    The biggest problem is the sound is messed up. When you collect the rings in Sonic, you will notice that the pitch isn’t right.
