This is Greg's last Console Wars episode...
I wish you the best, Greg: I hope you'll be okay
Last time I heard he has been doing better. Hopefully that positive vibes keep moving his way.
The last Console Wars episode with Greg as Nintendo, I sure do miss him. I know he was in the newer Console wars episodes, but I do miss him being as a Nintendo. 😔😔😔
Which episodes are we talking about?
How is Pat?
I miss him too....but I think he plays in another one later on after pat takes over. I really don't care for pat. They couldn't ever replace Greg. I sure do miss him too
@@dmcmusiclover2995 At first he really felt unnatural replacing Greg. But now Pat is pretty good too, he brings his own charm to the series, it's always nice how ridiculous his beginning part gets in every episode.
Greg played Lex Luthor character in the justice league episode for anyone wondering what future Cameo
This Will Be Gregs' last video for a while, please keep him in mind.
Where did he go
@@purplehaze2342 He had to retire due too personal problems...
@@purplehaze2342Greg was suffering a state of depression.
Thought this was a dead channel. Glad you guys are still at it
Bums me out that this is my favorite Console Wars video and it's Greg's last video. I wish Greg nothing but the best with whatever he's dealing with, but I'll definitely miss him on this channel. ✌
Just once I wanna see - "Are we doin this?" "NO!" end of episode.
Rocket Knight Adventures is Sparkster 1, Sparkster: Rocket Knight Adventures 2 is Sparkster 2, Sparkster is Sparkster 3 and Rocket Knight is Sparkster 4.
This is CONSOLE WAAAAAAARS! The best gaming channel ever!
True
Thanks for having me guys! I do have to say when it comes to your analysis you went above and beyond with this one!
Thanks for all your help dude!

Excellent! 😁
Hell yeah! New console wars ! Great way to start off the morning :D
...or _evening_ - in my case :D
this is my first comment in a console war video in 30/07/2018 !!
Yay!
welcome back .
"Rocket Sega!" [Crashes into wall x4]
"Rocket Nintendo!" [Crashes into wall x4]
I'm very happy the way that came out!
It was déjà vu but in a bad way XD
I love the "where is it?" Moments in the vid.
Awesome episode! Never played either Sparkster but it is nice to see the two compared.
The boys are BACK in town!
Those aren't farts. if you want to hear farts than listen to the opening theme for the first X-men game on genny.
Good to be back dude!
I believe the Genesis version slows down purposely for dramatic effect, similar to how in Street Fighter 2, when you win, it slows down the opponent getting knocked down. It's just not handled as elegantly.
After you beat bosses, of course
The SNES version of Street Fighter 2 slows down for dramatic effect too. I have no idea why you're going on about specs, when I didn't mention any specs here.
I know the SNES and Genesis specs though quite well, so you telling me I'm wrong means nothing to me.
Keep up the good work, It's always good to see Console Wars in Action!!
Didn't expect this at all, awesome way to start the day!
Just started watching console wars videos a couple days and sadly, I’m almost finished with watching all of them. What’s not sad is how unique and how much thought went into each installment and is a testament to how much you both enjoy making these. Keep up all the great work!!!
Do you still watch Console Wars? It's still going strong 💪
This the best episode you guys did so far. The back & fourth was amazing and I was on the edge of my seat wondering who was gonna win. Even the jokes were amazing with Bladeblur to the Fugee's album & the ending. Excellent work there!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I miss you greg
God, I'm so happy you guys are back! You feel like those loved cousins we miss from the family!
Much love Greg!!! HOPE YOU ARE WELL BROTHA!!!
great to have you guys back :)
Good to be back.
One of the best channels out here!
Thanks guys!
Pixel Game Squad Is the reason I'm a sub to this channel from a while ago when you suggested it on Facebook live thanks for the recommendation side note wooden sparkster make a good DLC character in the new Smash Brothers
Amen
@ @@ConsoleWars Yep, I love this Channel!
I hope you guys will pick "The Pirates of Dark Water" soon! ^.^
It would be a great and interesting episode!
Also I'm sure everyone would love to see "Super Turrican 2 vs. Mega Turrican"!
That would be an Epic Console Wars episode!
I love the nostalgia factor of Console Wars, it brings back memories!
It cheers me up every time, I hope you guys will keep makeing this awesome series!
I love how you guys went super in depth with this game! Great work guys me and my daughter love your vids!
Glad you and your daughter enjoy!
Rocket Knight Adventures 1 is SO great on Sega
Diurno MX You know it!
Yeah... but is better for the su.... wait...
Definitely the best of all 3.
It's also great on GB Advance.
was gonna mention that, and that you have to charge the jetpack in RKA 1.
"Hey criminal...stop doing crime!"
lol.
24:29 OMG, Dan's jetpack fail here killed me! Loved it! XD
Greg's last episode 😥
These vids always crack me up
Keep doing what you guys do
I can tell it’s a real passion and you guys do a great job with it. Keep on keeping on
I'm glad you guys finally got around to Sparkster. Awesome video!
Thanks!
I've been waiting for this video for ages. And today was finally the day I caved and became a $3 backer on your patreon. You guys have earned my money with all your hard work. Keep it up.
Thank you so much!
Awesome guys!!! Bout’ damn time y’all do an episode on this
Great episode once again! Thanks and have a great summer guys!
Thanks! You too!
And my beloved Sega Delivers.
Guys....FINALLY
Relax man...these guys have lives and do this primarily as a HOBBY. They meticulously edit the HECK out of these video gems and that is not at all easy to do as a job, let alone as a side project. Not to mention the fact that they play through both games over and over to pick out the finer details. I'm just glad they keep making a new one from time to time.
Sounds like you’re the one who needs to relax lol
WorldClassBullshitters Star Wars The Last Jedi suck balls
They are running out of games to cover, my dude.
Hi Jeff and co! You’re console wars fans too?
Hey Dan just want to say congrats on the engagement, I'm glad that you and Greg are finally tying the knot!
Always look forward to a new consolewars episode! Also a huge rocket knight fan . It was awesome getting to see all that side by side comparison !
Awesome vid, welcome back guys! Couldn't agree more with the verdict!
YOU ARE BACK!
SUGGESTIONS FOR NEW EPISODES:
-JOE & MAC
-THE FLINSTONES
-BONKERS
-DONKEY KONG COUNTRY VS. VECTORMAN
-ULTIMATE MORTAL KOMBAT 3
very nice episode, congratulations guys!
I just ordered Rocket Knight Adventures collection for my Switch from Limited Run Games. This awesome video gives me a lot to look forward to. How I let these two gems slip past me in the 16-Bit era, I’ll never know.
Thanks a lot, guys!
One of the best and most entertaining channels on UA-cam,great upload guys,funny shit as always.
Great installment guys, I never heard of this game until now but will definitely check it out.
Greg should come back as an evil villain.
i like how the dog disappears through out the editing lol...i bet he's a good boy!! ^_^
Another great episode. BTW Fugees The Score, is one of the best albums ever!
The soundtrack to these games are just absolutely wonderful... And, would you believe it, it's done by Akira Yamaoka (of Silent Hill fame) and Michiru Yamane (of Castlevania fame)... Two perfect composers just jamming and doing what they do best!
Awesome video guys , welcome back.
Thanks!
This is the last appearance of Greg in Console Wars.
Next video: Joe & Mac
Jaime Hidalgo Domínguez I agree.
Jaime Hidalgo Domínguez how about live two player play?
Okay, you know what, I give, how did you get that from that hint.....I never watch baseball, and I have no idea which show the other guy comes from
Joe DiMaggio! Good call! Idk who that other guy is though... I couldn't put that one together, that's what I love about this comment section, to scroll down and speculate what the next episode is gonna be based off their "hints" btw who is that other guy? Lol
Chris Beach
I do believe that is a rather portly, bearded Rob McElhenney, from 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' and 'The Devil's Own'...
I like the mega drive game because sparkster was first made on the genesis and I like the sprites
Dan and gregarious just felt so comfortable working together.
Dan and Pat have much better chemistry.
That ending had me genuinely laughing out loud
It was a lot of work.
Missed you guys!!!
Great review guys. I ought to check my subscriptions a lot more. I've been too busy I guess. I look forward to the next episode.
"Congratulation" (typo!) Another great video console war guys! Great amount of editing into it-you always have "spark" to them!
Thanks! It was a lot of editing.
The end of the video was great I can't stop laughing.
Glad you enjoyed it! It was a lot of work.
guys keep up the good work!
Console Wars is back and better then ever.
Awesome episode, let’s see NHL 94’ in the future!
I've been waiting for this one!!!
Great review guys, this was well worth the wait :), also thanks for the shoutout.
And yes this channel rocks!! And I hope you and Greg are ok too, especially Greg!! Hope you are doing well on your road to recovery!! With love, guys.
Lmao!! I love the callback to older bits. The "I don't see it, maybe it's over here" has to be my favorite. You guys are hilarious ... and you're cool. b^_^
I missed you guys. Nice video
Stressful week - Check, awesome episode to balance everything - CHECK. Keep up the good works guys.
Glad we could help relieve the stress!
you guys are criminally underated Subbed!
fantastic work, Dan and Greg
Thank You!
I've been waiting for this since I met you guys at Too Many Games! Loved this video. I know people think the sound is crap, but I've always preferred the Genesis soundtrack way more. It's punchier. It's more industrial-feeling (which goes with the whole mechanics and magic feel of the original game) while the SNES soundtrack is more orchestral, more like, you're playing as a KNIGHT. I did NOT realize just how muffled the SNES one is until now though!
And the Genesis game feels way more like a sequel: You have an upgraded rocket. The mech fight with Axle is a dead ringer for the first game's fight. You now have an optional golden upgrade (Sonic 2, anyone?). The SNES game feels like a spinoff/continuation of the first to me. I like them both though. The final SNES level, on the ship? SO cool. And the flight level is still a favorite, I play through the SNES game just to get to that (even though I'm not a fan of that particular mech fight because Axle is a pain if you don't knock his arms off in time). And it is generally prettier to look at.
Thanks for making this video! Nice to see Sparkster get some recognition :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Best thing to happen after completing chores of the house: relax and watch the long requested comparative review of Sparkster!
11:59 Dan's face had me laughing. Great vid can't wait for the live stream
Thanks! Hopefully this weekend dude!
Love you guys!
Love the ending. Skits r getting better n better.
Yeah, I'm getting more comfortable with the green screen.
Loved the rocketpack skit. Was super funny.
Glad you enjoyed it!
The gods have returned.
You're back! and one of my favorite platformers too!
It looks like nearly all games made on the SNES were done in a very low resolution, probably done that way to get max colors. The problem is that certain games become harder if your resolution is lower because it cuts off the screen and you cannot see far enough. The Snes was a system that was atleast 1 year newer than the Genesis so when you consider that, the Genesis was a pretty impressive system considering it had off the shelf parts and the Snes had some custom parts. Where they sacrificed power with the Snes in CPU power they got returns with a better graphics chip. But the Genesis had a CPU that was more than 2x faster and powerful than the Snes CPU. Overall the Snes was the better hardware but it should be, since it's newer. It just makes sense.
After reading your comment, I just realized it makes a lot of sense that Snes was largely an RPG system, those games typically have smaller sprites, characters didn't need to be as detailed compared to platformers or run'n guns.
Action games could work on Snes, but more care needed to be taken on how screen space was used.
This is also the reason many Genesis to Snes ports were worse.
The Genesis was made for fast arcade games, and it generally does them better than the SNES. Even the PC Engine, despite being three years older than the SNES, often beats it in that respect. The SNES shines when it comes to slower, richer experiences. RPGs certainly benefit from the better colors and sampled music.
ben owen, no offense but Snes having better hardware is objective not subjective. Also, please don't think I don't like the Genesis. I prefer the Sega Genesis, I was just stating was was true. Overall the Snes had better hardware. It has a custom made graphics chip and sound chip. It was newer so of course it should be better, that is how technology works. What is subjective is your opinion. You prefer the sounds from the Genesis to the Snes. I feel the same way when it comes to many games. There are many games that I just love the sounds and looks of on the Genesis. You're right that a lot of the sounds on the Snes suffered from that muffled sound. I'm not sure if it was because of lower bit rates to save space. Back with cartridges the game developers had to scrimp on file sizes all the time. So overall, while the Snes had newer hardware the Genesis stood up well. What bothered me is Sega doing stupid things like discontinuing the Genesis while it was still selling very well in 95.
ben owen - I still play the genesis and some times the snes today through emulation and I have to say that the genesis sound chip, which was a Yahmaha I believe, if used correctly can put out near CD quality music. If you don't already know of it, check out Gauntlet 4 for the genesis, great game made even better with an original soundtrack that sounds like CD music. I'm sure you're familiar with the great music in games like Streets of Rage and Shinobi. Alien 3 was another game that had great tunes. I wasn't aware of the ram issue with the snes chip but it seems like they made sacrifices to get the graphics up as well, like using a very slow CPU that I think was less than half the speed of the motorolla 68000 in the Genesis.
A morning Console Wars, that's awesome! Looks like Joe and Mac is next!
Man you guys deserve alot more subs.
YESSS! NEW CONSOLE WARS!
I saw this on my notifications, and decided to save it to wind down after my College Writing final. I'm glad I did. You guys just keep getting better and better.
Thanks! We hope we're getting better too. Hope your final went well.
Console Wars I'll let you know. Thanks for the reply. I feel like I just got my 15 minutes of fame. 😁
Yes! I knew they are going to do Sparkster! Thank you, Console Wars!
You're welcome!
Great video as always! Now I want crank out some badass Rocket Knight Adventures paintings
I missed you guys! I hope u play this live stream. This game looks so fun!
We def will. Hopefully this weekend.
Console Wars I am for sure gonna tune in.
I missed you guys!
Loved the ending!
Glad you enjoyed it!
As always, you give good argument on why which one overall is better. I love your style and you show how both great consoles have better games for certain titles, and some of them are fairly equal or identical.
Great episode as always! Played all three of these religiously as a kid. On the subject of slowdown though, I think that slowdown after killing bosses was intended to be a sort of “dramatic slow motion” effect. That’s always how I saw it, anyways
Thanks! Yeah, thats how I saw the slowdown after boss fights too.
I had and still have Rocket Knight adventure on my megadrive, such a great game, havent played Sparkster yet on either platforms, but i need to. Also the end with the Vigilantism had cracked me up haha. Great episode guys ;)
Thanks dude! Glad you enjoyed it! How's the new diet?
Going well man, although i had to take a week off due to an old shoulder injury to take it easy, back at it now though ;)
When he says Sega melody sounds cleaner and Super Nintendo sounds muffled I feel like that could be said of literally every game SNES vs Genesis. It's just the nature of the sound chips used.
On a side note: the SNES password screen looks like hell to enter the passwords.
SNES sounds fine at a low volume through TV speakers, but the Genesis sounds amazing with a half-decent sound system.
Great episode, thanks! ^^,)
Yes the series is back
Totally agree with you on this one guys 👍 You need to hurry up and get round to doing earthworm Jim 2 😆 I've also seen Turrican mentioned in the comments... now that would be an awesome episode!!!
2:25 Of course you're forgetting something... Greg doesn't have his beer XP
Anyway, another great episode! Was well worth the wait!!
Thanks man!
No freaking way. Been waiting for this moment for months
and I did for years ;)
Very interesting closing sequence here. I love the cartoony look to it. I'm guessing it's a combination of keying and keyframes?
Def keying for the green screen, and keyframes for the rocket. I didn't know the proper terms for it until I read your comment. lol
another amazing video ,,,,,,yeaaa ,,back again ,,amazing guys ,plz keepup ,,,cheers
You honestly can't deny the music on the genesis!
Good episode👍
Thanks!
