- Nintendo or Sega? Sonic or Mario? Cool games or good games? If like me you grew up in the nineties in North America as a gamer, you were most likely a fan of one, and not the other. I want to rekindle that unnecessarily us versus them mentality by deep cleaning two rival consoles side by side, and personally deciding which experience I prefer.

Nice work! Those were some gross looking consoles!
Thanks!
Got my SNES from my brother who got it from a heroine addict who try to sell it and then trew it away, there was shit and blood alle over the console, games and controller. But gloved up, trew up almost a few times and cleaned it in and outside. But when it was clean it was so satisfying to have a almost mint (not colored) working console :)
The older systems metal parts contained more carbon steel, where newer consoles metal parts are mostly aluminum and stainless steel with a lot lower carbon content or it is electro plated. So of course the older metal will corrode more and it is a lot harder to reverse the process once it starts
I did not get to grow up with gaming systems, unless you count a joystick that hooked up to my parent’s computer. (Rabbit hole, but did anyone else play the game with the mummies?) I had friends who had one of those systems, so I occasionally played on both.
Rust issue aside, as I am sure they don’t all get that rusted, I can see how less pieces would make the Genesis a more enjoyable clean. After watching so many of these videos, it is easy to see that the designers and manufacturers are not thinking about cleaning ease. Kids don’t tend to use kid gloves when playing their games, grime is inevitable. I think there would be many more console-safe cleaning products and tools if that was kept in mind, but where is the $$ in that when you can buy a BRAND NEW one?! Rant done.
Loved the new intro with the video clips! Gave it a bit of a mini retrospective vibe.
I have used 'Iron Fallout Remover' from the automotive industry on DMG Game Boys that had rust and it worked like a charm.. Bilt Hamber make some IFR that is fantastic...
I was just thinking of suggesting automotive rust remover/converter 👍
I don't know why but these console cleaning and repair videos are so satisfying and relaxing to me.
Ever since opening my personal SNES, I've always found it over-engineered. The Mega Drive having the power LED the way it is is a pain, though. You're very lucky to get one where the LED is held in by tabs. In older runs, it's encased in the glossy ring with plastic welding. Also as long as you don't intend to use the RF connection, the shielding's irrelevant.
I enjoyed the intro with the history lesson! Fun comparison and walk down memory lane.
16:16 I hope that's a different brush and you didn't just give the Genesis any SNES cooties! 😂
I also grew up with the inherited path of Nintendo from my siblings, so we got the SNES but I didn't know Sega consoles were a thing, all my school friends had Nintendo until I got a new front door neighbor, he had the genesis and to me there was no war we would lend the systems to each other so I got to experience both but I Always enjoyed the Nintendo games more, especially later on.
For the SNES cable, you could try to measure the pin width and pitch (spacing from pin to pin) and get a decent replacement. If you know what you need to buy, flex cables are really cheap. You just have to be able to decode/figure out what to get.
Im not sure ive experienced excitement again in my life since the day I first saw the new SNES at my friends house as a kid.
I was "Team Red" back then too. I'm still on the same team. The only difference is that instead of "Italian plumber VS. blue hedgehog, it's AMD VS. Intel.
The pristine plastic under the feet pads on the SNES 😍
every snes I get I never bother with removing the front connector because it always crumbles, same goes for plastic tabs.
Something to look into for stubborn metal like that Genesis shielding is Evapo-Rust. You can soak the hell out of the parts and the solution is reusable.
I remember you mentioned in an other video that you were toying with the idea of plating metal shields with nickel. Those Genesis shells look like a prime candidate To give a shot at the process. I have also seen videos using electricity as a way to remove rust maybe try both out.
Another great video.
Weird bottles like that splash because air needs to enter to let the liquid out. An old auto mechanics trick it to "pour sideways" to allow a path for air to get around the fluid. If you've ever done an oil change on a car, and couldn't figure out how to pour it to not splash oil everywhere. This is why. If you hold the bottle so that the larger surface area is up, then air can get in easier and you don't splash.
I personally would use a rotary tool with soft bristle brushes and ipa or clr to remove the rust.
Whoever designed the America SNES must have had someone who thought breeze blocks looked good. Why didn't Nintendo of America release the same one the rest of the world had. Amazing video anyway, and yes, SNES is King
I use scotch Brite and WD-40 and surface rust usually comes off fast and easy
Did you ever consider cleaning plastic shells and other plastic parts in a dishwasher?
That Genesis is messed up! Haha
should try some plastic polish on the Genesis. It would make the scuff marks not as noticeable.
What type of mouth disintegrates gum 😂😂
Atleast it's not like gum on a hot blacktop road 😱
Rust ease would have cleaned all of that rust up
Why not try electro plating on the shielding?
Any cons to cleaning those metal plates and then using some rust converter on them?
Evapo-rust is safe on plastics.
Always a sega girl. ❤ i have my old one in my closet. I have no idea if it works. You guys can totally use it if you guys need it.
Ahhhh! Dental pick is like nails on a chalkboard! 😖
your video is called cleaning king, you graded the snes lower due to a non cleaning issue and then didnt for the genesis rust which is a cleaning issue. Good video otherwise and a decent job done cleaning them up
When he mixes the water in the tub with gloves on reminds you of your ex 😞
Is vinegar not safe for plastic
Sega forever!❤
OMG, These consoles are FILTHY
SNES > Megadrive
