@greensun1334 Not only that it was a huge nightmare and day difference in thr quality of the port vs MK1. I was so happy with the SNES version back then that when I eventually got a 32X and traded for that version, I ended up rebuying the SNES version after a few days cause I liked it better. When I do go back and play the Genesis MK2 though, I'm always surprised how good it is for the hardware. Especially when comparing to the over rated MK1 port on Genesis.
@@itchyisvegeta indeed, the difference between SNES and Genesis MK2 was like day and night. Altrough not a bad port, I was disappointed by the 32X version as well, it was just like a slightly enhanced Genesis version, but it plays worse. To this day, the SNES version is my favourite port of the game
How long did you play each game? You gave the win to snes several times with games that are well known for being way better on sega. Cool spot on snes, for example, is croped which makes jumps in the later stages very hard. And the best music in the game, the bonus stage, is way cooler on sega. Desert strike on snes plays slow and is croped which makes an already hard game frustrating. Seems like you just "tested" the games and did not really play them.
2:45 This is so wrong, Battletoads and Double Dragon on SNES game has very big problems with gameplay and less music than Genesis! The best version belongs to original game from NES!
1:55 oh, this game works… but it’s best on the NES. Believe it or not, the original Nintendo/Famicom version just plays better than its 16-bit brethren.
@@GregsGameRoom wrong! Developers the same! Even composer - David Wise! It's just about time, programming skill and issues with working in other hardware limitations!
Man, the resolution difference that leads to the screen stretching and cropping on the SNES is a LOT more noticeable on multiplats than I realized at the time!
Loving these comparison videos between similar systems - especially considering how amazing these 16-bit systems are, even now imo. I always disagree with at least some of your opinions, but whatever, I do enjoy hearing them regardless. I always chuckle when you say that you never want to play a game again... EVER!! Looking forward to Round 3. PS. have a great holiday season.
Right, but you used Genesis audio against itself with emulator audio deficiencies on the death of Superman segment. Real hardware sounds pretty decent and not ear piercing at all. A lot of people use Genesis audio to determine a emulators accuracy when it comes to stuff like this
@@GregsGameRoom I have an actual genesis and your emulator is murdering the actual sound in some of these games. Using emulators for these kind of comparisons is a bit... stupid frankly. It's not the OG experience.
Yeah, I thought the Genesis sounded off in many instances throughout the video... It may be worth it to check against the original hardware when a game sounds weird, and switch to a more up to date emulator with more accurate sound.
I never played Rock and Roll Racing, I grew up with Combat Cars. I immediately recognized the melody from Black Sabbath Paranoid while watching this. That’s pretty cool they used real songs in the game.
"Who would want to play Clay Fighter?" I would. I had a lot of fun with this game. It's no Street Fighter 2 or Mortal Kombat, but it didn't have to be. It was an excellent weekend rental. How dare you besmirch a misunderstood classic like Clay Fighter!
I was one of those who got that clay fighter for the snes for Xmas that year 😂😂 but I already had mk sf etc so I kinda enjoined it for a while a short while lol and every other game on here wow them was fun times 👍🏿
I just love all the comments acting like theres any objectivity with video game preferences. That's like telling Greg that the color blue is far superior than green and obviously pizza tastes way better than burgers lol. You can say what your opinion is but when you start saying "objectively" "obviously" "everyone knows" you are showing everyone the limit of your intelligence. Thanks for the video, these are always super relaxing and enjoyable.
40:22 Terminator 2 is (was) a crap game because the publisher finances the development they give (pay) the developer a fee with a limited budget or the fee is the budget the developer has to use 8 megabit = 1 megabyte cartridge to put the game on + strict deadline 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 days, weeks, months
Sega Genesis sports titles were much smoother to play. I had both consoles. "Blast processing" must of been a real thing. I think many SNESers childhood fondness of the original NES makes them think the SNES was better than it actually was. Too many slow boring titles. Just my opinion
Oh, man. “Terminator 2” on the SNES. I really wanted to like this game: a game based on one of my all-time favorite movies, on the SNES, probably my all-time favorite console. Surprisingly, I don’t hate this game. It’s more apt to say: “I’m not mad, I’m disappointed.” I probably gave this game more chances than it deserves; and I actually got a little over halfway through it. But by then, it’s too brutally difficult to where it’s not even fun. One ridiculous thing: you actually fight the T-1000 at Enrique’s farm! I’m serious. That is actually in the game. 😮
@ Yes, not only the driving itself, but that there’s no way to attack and defend yourself without crashing into other vehicles and taking damage. And the further you get in the game, the more the police cars will swarm and crash into you and make it nearly impossible to get anywhere.
I’ve always wanted to see someone hack Batman Returns on Genesis or preferably the SCD version to finally make it a decent game. At first glance it looks like it would be a good game but then you start playing it.
I think it comes down to which model and which controller for the sega genesis. If its model 1 and a six button controller its genesis. If its model 2 or 3 with a 3 button controller it's SNES. If its model 2 or 3 with a six button controller its a draw. If its model 1 with a 3 button its SNES.
While I preferred the Genesis growing up, you are DEFINITELY blinded by nostalgia as I'm watching this video. Went from playing Genesis Mortal Kombat 2 to Super Nintendo Mortal Kombat 2 as a teenager and the Super NES port blew my mind how much better it is. Genesis has fewer colours, worse sound, and is clunkier compared to the superior SNES version.
I can't watch this guy anymore, He's not a Nintendo fanboy, just listen to all the Nintendo fanboys in here. If you're not gonna give a fair assessment, don't waste our time.
With a tiny handful of exceptions, like the original MK, the answer is SNES, every time. It is simply not possible to come to any other conclusion, unless you're stupid, or a massive Sega homer.
GREG. I BEG OF YOU. PLEASE mix the gameplay segments lower in comparison to your voice. its so close to perfect but the gameplay is just a bit too loud. other than that, these videos are awesome and pretty close to on the level of game sack or snesdrunk, i love them.
almost 35 years later, still the snes vs megadrive doscussion? 😂 why? both consoles have their strength, so why don't by them bove? i had an snes in 1992 and in 1993 i bought an megadrive so i don't the see the problem 😜 which is my favorite, you ask? the sega megadrive, what an amazing and underestimated machine ❤️
This video so unobjective in opinion when most games belongs to SNES for some reasons... But somehow Sega wins in Mortal Kombat 2 comparison that not happen really often, considering that Sega has better music and character sprittes and don't have letterbox!
The SNES is miles better then the Genesis. I like some games for sega but Nintendo has so so much more depth and fun gameplay. Most of the population agrees.
SNES stomps on the genesis with exclusive titles. Come on, Super Mario world stomps on Sonic 1, 2, CD, 3&k. Super Mario world makes Sonic look like Bubzy in comparison.
@@jameskrack196 Really? Super Mario world. -72 stages -24 secret exits -Co-op -Fluid controls. -9 power ups -10 boss fights. -10+ hours to 100% Sonic 2 (my personal favorite Sonic game) -20ish levels -0 alternate pathways. -Multiplayer -Fluid controls -4 power ups -10 boss fights -2 hours to 100% Sonic 2 isn’t bad, and is the best Genesis title in my opinion, but objectively it is worse than Super Mario world.
@Channeloftheyars I have played them all extensively going back to when they first came out. Stomped may not be the right word but my personal pick out of all the games you mentioned is Sonic CD.
Bro you’ve definitely lost your mind if you think the genesis version of mortal kombat 2 is better than the snes version. That was definitely a fanboy pick lol.
@@GregsGameRoom Indeed you did. My apologies. I assumed you would “prefer” to play what you thought to be the better version lol. One of my childhood friends also “preferred” genesis versions of games as he hated Nintendo for some reason lol.
Fanboy?? My friend ,on the contrary,Greg helped SNES a lot on these comparisons,aince cool spot,desert strike and other games are way better on the genesis😂😂😂
Super Nintendo, of course is a newer and more advanced system, nonetheless, I do prefer SEGA to sound like a video game and I do prefer the rectangle resolution than the Super nintendo.
Definitley I Do Prefer SEGA´s Batman and Robin shoothemup than the rest of the batman versions... most of them were slow and boring. Super Nintendo Beathemup version is sure the best.

21:35 - As someone who prefers playing the SNES game over even the arcade game at times, I totally respect that.
Yep, it’s all subjective. These are personal preferences, not which version is technically better.
I also prefer the SNES version, by far. It's an amazing and arcade accurate port.

Thanks! I laugh when people get so upset over someone’s opinion being different from theirs! That’s kinda what TH-cam is meant for! Merry Christmas!
The only ones I disagree with are :
Cool Spot
Desert Strike
Mortal Kombat II
Also prefer Boogerman and Super Street Fighter II for Genesis
Are you using an emulator to play the Genesis? Because it can sound like that when used in certain emulators
Yes. To get clear video.
Right, but you used Genesis audio against itself with emulator audio deficiencies on the death of Superman segment. Real hardware sounds pretty decent and not ear piercing at all.
A lot of people use Genesis audio to determine a emulators accuracy when it comes to stuff like this

I had zero clue that Battletoads/Double Dragon mash-up existed. That was definitely interesting…
The music from Wolf Child on the Sega Genesis is still impressive even today. I often listen to it while working.
It's definitely cool...
Nintendo batman returns comes to MD this Christmas 😗
Yep! Can’t wait!
Yup!
I never played Rock and Roll Racing, I grew up with Combat Cars. I immediately recognized the melody from Black Sabbath Paranoid while watching this. That’s pretty cool they used real songs in the game.
I love the Sega CD version of Batman returns
At least it has a cool driving stage.
@@GregsGameRoom and the music is really good too.
"Who would want to play Clay Fighter?" I would. I had a lot of fun with this game. It's no Street Fighter 2 or Mortal Kombat, but it didn't have to be. It was an excellent weekend rental. How dare you besmirch a misunderstood classic like Clay Fighter!
The solution were got both consoles because some titles were better onnsnes and others on MD and both consoles got a lot of exclusives!
In my opinion your nostalgia made you pick some games for the Genesis...the final score would be more equal.

Honestly, for games like Sonic, I prefer the 3 button.
you lost me at mk2 genesis...

@@Vegeta-79 No thanks, I prefer my position...😂
Exclusives, then yes, SNES all day
But if you look at all cross platforms, it's closer to 50/50 maybe a slight edge to SNES

First of all batman returns snes is coming to the Sega genesis and that version has 2 players!!!
Yeah, it's a homebrew though. I want to cover all those cool homebrews too.
The genesis aged like a fine wine 🍷
