I'm back! I'm taking a look at the hole snow bros series. Starting from it's first game on arcades, the ports, it's sequel, all the way up to the remake.
I found this video between rounds of watching RA3 tournament replays, cat videos and some guy making a marble clock. Not sure how I ended up here, but I'm glad I did, this was pretty fun!
The genesis port was one of the games me and my bro used to play quite often by emulating it, i remember it fondly We got the switch remake and had mixed views on it, mostly with the visuals and the arcade only ost, since we grew and (it's objectively agreed upon) loved the genesis version of it BUT SB2 IS GETTING BACK?!!! WOOOO
I've always been interested in this series so watching this video was a treat. I need to check it out myself, and now I know NOT to go with the remake. Great job!
The Genesis port of Snow bros was one of my first favorite games since I was a child. I still consider it as such since then. Thanks for your deep dive into it :)) I'm glad to keep learning things about this series, even to this day!
bro, the new bosses don't fit?? Did you see the bosses of the second game?? a big-nosed train, a trumpeter dancing rabbit, and a friccin' mechanical sun xD how a ninja dog, a trio of sirens or a cockatrice don't fit? The new bosses are good because at least I always saw the world of Snow Bros as a world of elves, fairies and other creatures (even if the elves are only in the title of the sequel), but they never reach the cliché of a DnD world, this is a crazy and inconsistent world. Not only are they inconsistent from one port to the other, even in the artistic section they are, on the title screens the characters look different than they do in the cutscenes or in the game sprites xD My point is, that is the least of the problems, for me Snow Bros is a chaotic and crazy saga that enjoys being like that hahaha By the way, where I live this is not an obscure game, this is one of those games everybody played at least once, and one that cannot be missing in any arcade ❤️
So glad to see someone talk about Snow Bros 2 and praise it so highly. My aunt and uncle had an Ultracade at their lake house, and Snow Bros 2, 1941, and Mega Man: TPB were always our favorites.
Damn, now I actually wanna try Snow Bros. I’ll of course stick with emulation since there’s no way I’m getting ahold of a genuine Genesis cart. Then again all I own to play it on is an AtGames Genesis so maybe it’s for the best.
@@hyperness3112 got lucky and found it for $7.99. I mean it’s still a horrible dumpster fire and I plan to get the real deal soon, but $7.99 is much less of a rip off than the full 40 they went for new.
@@HypercatZ yeah it was made by some company in Mexico, I’m not sure why this game is mentioned in the snow bros wiki. Also I feel like it’s pretty obvious that it’s bootleg, it uses the first game’s engine and the snowmen use soccer balls instead of snow. And the fact that the third boss uses cacodermon from doom.
I also found the remake to be really lacking, there's so many problems on it that really harms the experience. inconsistent hitboxes, infinite continues means the life system is useless, the biggest addition being locked behind paid dlc, missed oportunity on not adding online multiplayer, the new stages dont fit the theme of the game,etc. but the biggest problem for me is the lack of a save feature, it was understandable on the retro platforms up until the sega genesis but for modern platforms thats one of the big mistakes a game can make. I know the game is short, but not everyone has the patience or time to restart from the beggining all over again when they had to quit a playsession just because they didnt had the time to finish the game in 1 sit. they also missed the mark on not including the extra content from the gameboy and sega genesis versions in the package.
Nice introduction to the series! Wonder what kind of other obscure franchises you'll tackle?

Wow that’s crazy, glad you liked it.😊
Great vid as usual

Oh yes, I know that guy! I think they call him... Lame-Man?
*sad music*
You missed Snow Bros. 3 😊
My God, a non-Rayman video, we're entering a new era, people!
I've always been interested in this series so watching this video was a treat. I need to check it out myself, and now I know NOT to go with the remake. Great job!
Oh hay its the Finnish version of vinesauce Joel
It’s great seeing you drop by, Glad you like it.
Rest in peace toaplan i miss you so much
Love your thumbnails also why dont you have many views?
I don’t know, I just assumed videos get views over time. Then again I reviewed a game that no one really plays.
2:12 as a kid I always liked that background with the princess, it looks very eerie and gloomy
The Genesis port of Snow bros was one of my first favorite games since I was a child. I still consider it as such since then.
Thanks for your deep dive into it :))

I’m the U.S.A’s biggest Snow Bros fan. I wake up in a cold sweat thinking about how I don’t own the Snow Bros property

IMPASTABLE, A SNOW BROS VIDEO IN 2024?
You should do more games

you dont get infinite continues for nes version
its 9 continues of 3 lives.
Oh dang really? I guess I didn’t pay attention to the life counter. Thanks for bringing that up.

There is actually in development a remake of Snow Bros 2 on Switch :D
Its made by the same who remaked Snow Bros 1
Damn, now I actually wanna try Snow Bros. I’ll of course stick with emulation since there’s no way I’m getting ahold of a genuine Genesis cart. Then again all I own to play it on is an AtGames Genesis so maybe it’s for the best.
My guy why do you have a genesis from AtGames☠️. But yeah I don’t blame you for using emulator.
@@hyperness3112 got lucky and found it for $7.99. I mean it’s still a horrible dumpster fire and I plan to get the real deal soon, but $7.99 is much less of a rip off than the full 40 they went for new.
@@hyperness3112oh I found it for only $7.99, dumpster fire or not that’s the only way I’d ever willingly buy a Shatgames product.
Oh ok $8 bucks isn’t so bad, you got me worried for a second. Also I’m not sure why I have the comments on hold, it should be turn off.
You forgot one chapter, probably the most bizarre:

@@HypercatZ I am aware of snow bros 3, but I don’t count bootlegs.
@@hyperness3112 It's a bootleg??
@@HypercatZ yeah it was made by some company in Mexico, I’m not sure why this game is mentioned in the snow bros wiki. Also I feel like it’s pretty obvious that it’s bootleg, it uses the first game’s engine and the snowmen use soccer balls instead of snow.
And the fact that the third boss uses cacodermon from doom.
@@hyperness3112 LOL! What is this? A crossover episode?
Man, that Switch reboot looks like it was just animated with AI/a cheap looking mobile game, that's pretty fucking embarrassing; good video tho, man
I also found the remake to be really lacking, there's so many problems on it that really harms the experience.
inconsistent hitboxes, infinite continues means the life system is useless, the biggest addition being locked behind paid dlc, missed oportunity on not adding online multiplayer, the new stages dont fit the theme of the game,etc.

that subpar snow bros. remake reminds me of that kinda crappy earthworm jim remake that was on xbla lmao
