The voice quality on the Genesis version is incredible.
Glad I had genesis as a kid..,. I've always thought Super Nintendo was the s*** as a kid, but now I realize it was a piece of s***. Everything on the Genesis has always been the best widescreen, maybe not as many colors but if I had to sacrifice that for a wider screen and faster processing I will take that any day. Damn Mario baby games
@@DUKETACTICS333 true, I like that you spoke facts and did not just said "SNES sucks" for no reason.
@Dean Satan snes is a much better machine than the genesis. Weather effects were better on the snes, graphics were, music was, and other things too. Sure the genesis was faster but that is the only thing it had over the snes. And that 3 button controller is wack compared to the 4 button controller the snes had.
@Dean Satan I still love the snes tho, plus it was way ahead of the pc/ms dos.
@Dean Satan Sure the Sound and Graphics are way ahead on SNES but you have to understand Sony blablabla, SNES came 2 years after blablabla
I got to go with the sega Genesis port of this game because not only dose it have clear voice samples which is rare on Sega Genesis 3rd party games but a larger enemy count that fills out the levels better which is a big win in my books.
SNES: "Circles? Nah, we got ovals."
I remember kids saying the SNES was more powerful just because the sprites were "bigger".
MD version has been programmed by Mike West. The guy leading the UFO debunk and has a channel on youtube. He's a very good programmer.
MD's higher resolution settles any debate here.
Genesis socks cat's balls!!!
A boring game is a boring game, no matter the resolution.
And this happens to be a very good game in a superior resolution.
So your point is?
@@SomeOrangeCat Mickey mania good game on both platforms but it had higher resolution on genesis..additional levels and no loading screens.
@@inceptional transparency…layers like super thunder force 4 on genesis…hell that game is even on the switch, but not the snes version of thunder force. I get SNES is a god In a box…but not every game was super inferior on the genesis…look at super street fighter 2..sound wise it was not as clear but it had more voice samples when round was announced…did not have slowdown during hadoukens..and music did not have to reset after every round…Mickey mania a very cartoony Disney game…has an additional level…no load times like the snes version and color wise like the same…plus it ran at the usual higher Rez..hell even the virgin Disney games were better on genesis. Kawasaki superbike…(that one was a knockout for genesis)…there is more if you watch the show console wars…it pits the 2 versions side by side..with wins for both systems like UMK3 the color made the snes version look better but…it was missing thing the genesis version had. Plus the way you describe it sounds like a switch user complaining about muddy textures and performance on an open world game when it should of used the breath of the wild engine…
the genesis surprisingly has the better voice sample
I think it's because the sound design is so sparse to begin with. If there's not a lot of cartridge space being used, you don't have to compress the digitized audio as much.
The Genesis sound clips are quite good for the system.
Snes graphics are stretched and performs much worse, with several slowdowns. It's a poor port from the Genesis version.
Slowtendo as always...
On the good ports from genesis they tend to run at higher resolutions and speed compared to Nintendo. Look at Mickey mania it’s missing some levels on the snes version and it had loading, and ran at a lower rez
@Lucas Pinheiro E aí blz? Eu joguei esse jogo há uns 20 anos atrás e lembro que tinha uns slows no mega tbm. Mas no SNES é clássica essa característica. Sem essa frescura de fanboy. O Mega sofreu muito com ports melhores pro SNES do que pra ele e até hoje esses fanboys ficam sempre martelando isso. Tem um brazuca no twitter que faz um trabalho incrível reprogramando jogos do SNES, o Vitor Villela.
These seem very, very similar. I think I'd give Genesis a slight edge because of the better sound and because I like the fact that it isn't quite as zoomed-in on the mech (gives you better view of what's coming at you). Both versions look very playable and cool, though.
SNES version is lower screen resolution and stretched so thats why it looks zoomed-in. I preffer to play the megadire version but both are indeed good games.
Novamente o Mega Drive se sobressai em gameplay e quantidade de efeitos e sprites simultâneos na tela. E para surpresa de muitos, as vozes do Mega Drive ficaram excelentes.
That resolution difference. Sega is doing 320x240, SNES is 256x222 (once you remove the small border on the bottom). I did a colour comparison and the SNES is displaying about 51 colours, just like the Sega, so it's just a basic port.
And they lazily retitled the SNES port to tie in with the unrelated MechWarrior game from two years prior.
@@SomeOrangeCat but I guess if this was designed for the Genesis first, all the artwork will be formatted for the lower colour palette. They wouldn’t recreate the artwork just for the SNES. What is left is the same game but with a lower resolution.
Thanks for the port comparison.
Yes, it is simple port
Well it wasn’t so simple since they couldn’t match the enemy count and overall fluidity of the Genesis game on SNES
Mega Drive: Som que impressiona, Resolução melhor, + inimigos na tela e feito 1 ano antes das ditas "Melhorias" que prometeram para diferenciar.
Console da Sega +1 vez desmistifica qualquer hegemonia do SNes que tantos esbravejam.
Megadrive, más enemigos juntos en pantalla y además más fluidez
Y debido a la resolución en pantalla de Super Nintendo, se pierde profundidad. Los Sprites parecen estirados y aplanados... En Mega Drive se puede ver mucho mejor.
While I like the ZOOM aspect from the SNES version, but without a ZOOM out option it makes it hard to see the battlefield. I think the Genesis version has a better prospective; therefore the Genesis version WINS!
Robocop version of desert strike.Nice game.
Besides the the resolution or sounds. Pronto, Snes needs SA-1 rescue. Since, at the time I did have both machines. I love of what both consoles we're capable to do best.
The game should be remake as twinstick shooter
Not a bad idea actually. There was a steampunk mech twinstick shooter called Gatling Gears which was pretty good.
I go with Genesis mostly because of the Higher Resolution which makes things easier to see where you're going.
Snes looks like s**t with it's stretched image.
I'm really impressed with how much better the animation on the genesis version is. I mean, I guess that was part of its claim to fame, really, but still.
Cool video! I am working on a PC game not quite inspired by these two, but it also features mechs in an isometric viewpoint. If you want to know more, let me know :)
That galaxy commander colonel ward looks like a angry Bruce Willis
This is BattleTech !!!
(Mega Drive / Sega Genesis)
Ótimo jogo isométrico.
Basicamente um Urban Strike com robôs.
Kkkk verdade.
Oque é urban strike
@@cavaleirotemplar8828 é o terceiro jogo da série Strike. Desert Strike, Jungle Strike e Urban Strike.
@@3xperiment8 depois na geração 32 bits teve o Soviet Strike e Nuclear Strike são jogos muito bons!
@@thiagofrancisrobotiky6546 bem lembrado. Esses do Playstation são mais dificeis ainda que os de 16bit
Hello slowdown my old friend...
I've come to talk with you again...
Im trying to remember the flying mech in the intro, is it just one of the experimental LAM from the books?
I dont recall any mechs normally flying other than the 2 clan experimentals.
Marauder
@@SpiritOfBagheera yea someone made fun of the flying marauder 2 minutes after i wrote that,lol.
@@darksuit9035 Oh, ha, cool. I didn’t read all the comments. Glad to know you got a more immediate answer!
Megadrive version looked and run much better. But I managed to finish the game only on SNES despite slow-downs and narrow view thanks to shoulder buttons to control the guns independently of walking direction.
I like both versions of soundtrack.
SNES sempre com a sua resolucao distorcida em games ocidentais.
@@3xperiment8 Ambos os consoles eram, Mega Drive fazia alguns efeitos nativos bem legais, e alguns deles nem eram tão difíceis assim de se fazer, inves de usarem algum efeito para substituir o efeito usado no SNES, preferiam deixar uma tela preta com fade.
@@3xperiment8 você disse pra mim ler seus comentários, agora concordo com sua afirmação quanto aos ports, realmente isso foi até melhor do que uma hegemonia (quando não comprometia a qualidade do jogo), mesmos jogos mas com elementos diferentes nas plataformas eram um requinte na geração 16-bits, ainda mais quando as versões aproveitavam bem as capacidades de seus respectivos consoles 👍
Melhor ou pior é algo complicado, apesar da inferiodade técnica, PC-Engine foi o CONSOLE dos shomup's, jogos orientais e puzzles em geral, os melhores jogos do Bomberman (da Hudson Soft em geral) estão na plataforma. Todo mundo sabe que shomup do PC-Engine é coisa de outro mundo, ainda mais quando se utiliza o CD-ROM, mas aí é outra história, pena que ele é o olho da cara, gosto de colecionar os consoles físicos e comprar um everdrive pra aproveitar toda a biblioteca...
Eu curto demais esses jogos isométricos . Tipo esse e desert Strike , zaxxon.
Desert strike é bom mermo
Pero que belleza!....👌👌👌
I'll go with SNES version simply because there is a cheat code to play as any of the enemy mechs like the one flying in the intro.
Really? That sounds awesome! Playing as the Marauder from the opening credits would be really cool!
BattleTech wins!
That's just one lazy SNES port
And the game itself looks like a lazy reskin of the "Strike" series. its lazyception!
For some reason when I see the mech I think it looks like a camera with legs and guns attached to it.
I see some ED209 influence here, in the legs and feet.

I wonder if anyone noticed the resolution difference between the two consoles back then.
But why is the image stretched on the SNES?
Funky 8:7 aspect ratio...
Lower resolution. Most SNES games are 256 resolution to the Megadrive's most common 320.
The only time you'll see an SNES game in higher resolution is something like RPM Racing, or for menus and slight background effects.
Sûre the resolution is lower... But the image should be cropped then
@@donniewhy6582
It is cropped. It's why you see less of the background on the SNES version, which is then stretched to fill the screen.
Look at 41 seconds in. Specifically, up at the top where the disc, the hill, and the small crater provide landmarks to measure how much of the environment you're allowed to see at once.
@@3xperiment8
You do realize that most people aren't that pedantic when describing why the SNES cuts off their viewing area?
What is it about devs not willing to fix the aspect ratio of their graphics for SNES?
Would be a whole different story if both versions were done in the 256x224 resolution, so it can be like the Genesis and SNES versions of Street Fighter II.
You have to completely redraw the sprites - unless it's a high budget title (which most weren't back in the day), that effort simply wouldn't pay off.
As usual, a game created for the Mega Drive is best on that system. The SNES version seems to be running more quickly when it’s not slowing down.
Why does SNES have wider screen? Its like the picture has been strecthed.
Genesis Wins, again.
@@3xperiment8 lower resolution, also…many genesis games ran at a higher resolution. Many games with similar graphics like lion king looks stretched out on SNES.
MegaDrive horizontal resolution is 320 pixels, while SNES's is 256 pixels. Every MegaDrive game ported to SNES cropped 64 pixeles wide. Rest of the screen fits the 4:3 aspect ratio of a CRT, stretching it and distorting graphics. In the other way (SNES game ported to MegaDrive) this never happened, because MegaDrive can use the inferior Master System resolution to backward compatibility, which is 256 pixeles wide, same as SNES.
@@3xperiment8 Unfortunately, Street Fighter II for MegaDrive is 256 pixels wide too. If that game were developed directly for MegaDrive it would be a more powerful game. SNES port from CPS was a ballast.
Has anyone noticed the transparent shadows on Megadrive? The Megadrive version is impressive. Better resolution and aspect ratio, better digitised voices, better shadows and better ground colours. Apart from the SNES sound chip, which is superior, offering beautiful music and better sound effects, it seems to me that the game is a little faster.
Mega the Best.
Genesis is trash!!!!
I see some ED209 influence here, in the legs and feet.
"LiL'JpD."
I wonder why they decide to call these game different names when they are the same.
The SNES had a really fun first person Mechwarrior game(its all set in the same universe), and so they billed this crappy port of the Genesis game as a sequel to it.
the SFC really had trouble with running games
12:26 O password da versão SNES é o nome da CPU em que ele é baseado
Ótima observação
Why the didn't call this game
MECH ED-209 is beyond me 🕹🤩🎧📺
Sega Genesis is the best!!!
2:44 Different voice actors?
another genesis / mega drive win
Esses gráficos "achatados" do SNES me deixam puto desde a época dos 16bit.
@@3xperiment8 pior que reparava e odiava.
@@3xperiment8 aborrescente
I found some similarities of formulas To this game to now days into fps formula from HAWKEN ("2016 hawken") currently playing it on ps5....thanks to the sega md's version(sega genesis) back in 1999 😎👍
MD WINS!!!
Versão SNES é bem chulé...
I hope king of the monsters is next
Genesis wins in this one. Good SFX and the resolution makes difference in this game too.
Praticamente pra mim o mesmo jogo. Só muda um pouco a. Cor no snes que é mais forte. De resto nada demais. Jogo é bom. Fiquei curioso pra jogar.
Sega 😏win
The Mega Drive version is obviously the superior one here. Great game regardless the system chosen!
HAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAH
el juego debe estar basado en el hardware del genesis, ya que super nintendo no usa tramas para las transparencias
Junto con la resolución, la.calidad de las voces y las ralentizaciones, se deduce que prácticamente es un port directo, sin adaptarlo de forma óptima para el hardware de SNES.
@@Holothurion si, en muchos casos las versiones del mismo juego son muy diferentes unas de otras, adaptándose a las posibilidades del hardware
MD wins as usual!
Huh. This looks almost exactly like Brigador.
You mean brigador looks like this.
This game being ported from the Genesis to the SNES was like when Battletoads was ported to the Genesis from the NES. The game was ported to a beefier system, but no attempt was made to take advantage of what it can do.
Terrible comparison... Battletoads looks better in Genesis than NES even if it isn’t pushing the Genesis THAT hard.
That’s not the case in Mechwarrior were SNES version is inferior in sooo many ways due to system limitations
@Lucas Pinheiro My point was that at least Battletoads on Genesis looks better than the NES game… even if it is a worse version overall
Mechwarrior is worse on Snes in every category… sure, some due to snes limitations, like resolution and performance… but at least they could have tried to make it more colorful
snes por mucho!
Gênesis Wins
terran goliath
Genesis version FTW
The genesis win by far.
Duas bombas.
Me parece que o Mega tem a resolução correta, no SNES ficou meio esticado.
SNES fanboys: "We don't care how lazy our port is. Our distorted sprites cover more of the cropped screen, so we win by size alone."
SNES fanboys are usually stupid as hell.
Neither version of the game is what I'd call great, but Sega fanboys gotta take whatever win they can. Your turd is slightly more polished go you.
@@SomeOrangeCat
Cute sour grapes.
It's adorable.
Sorry kid, but I could care less what team you're cheering for. Sometimes the SNES is better, sometimes the Genesis is better, and only a child pouts when their favorite console loses the comparison.
@@SomeOrangeCat ever played it? It's actually a great game if you are into mechs. Like Desert Strike on the ground - shure no master piece but solid gameplay and definitely not a turd.
Sarcastic Nerds: love to use the term "fanboy" in everything.
You would love Clerks, Steve-Dave.
"LiL'JpD."
Genesis version wins hands down. The SNES version isn't even running in the correct aspect ratio.
Como sempre, o snes levando um PAU do mega drive rsrsrsr
como siempre en megadrive se ve mejor el juego
Snes, personagens maiores , gráficos....
SNES character more bigger. big is beautiful.
Big - yes, stretched and squished like in this case - no😂
La version de sega es mucho mas completa que la de snes
Praticamente a mesma coisa nos dois consoles. Ironicamente a versão do Genesis tem mais slow down que a do Super Nintendo.
Verdade, porém a resolução do Mega como sempre é normal em relação a achatada do Super. Mais basicamente são jogos que não se percebe a diferença entre ambos se não os colocar lado a lado, como ai no vídeo da Marota. Abraço !!
Blast processing estava de férias kkk
@@3xperiment8 sem contar, sons roucos kkkk
@flaviochaos creio que vc não tenha notado que esse game foi feito pro mega e no snes é um port, como toda viúva ceguista, direi com suas palavras.. má programação, preguiça dos desenvolvedores em fzr o port, ou teve um apelo da Cega pra sabotar o port igual foi no earthworm mim, onde a cega pagou pra ter uma tela exclusiva.
@flaviochaos ok então isso desvalida todo o choro de ports como sunset riders, Mk2, doom troopers, a falta de turtles um time pelo fato do meguinha não aguentar teve deve receber uma versão exclusiva, etc... Onde usaram o máximo que o mega podia!! Não é culpa de programadores, ou exclusividade da Nintendo. Aí eu mando o C3 (Cegue o Chorin Ceguista)
La snes demostrando porq es la mejor consola de 16 bits siempre humillando a la genesis
As someone who's only loosely familiar with Battletech, it is weirding me out to see those 1-for-1 ripoffs of the Macross Valkyrie running around as enemy mechs. Not surprised that legal trouble was on the horizon. Pretty decent game all told, but I much preferred games like Jungle Strike and Desert Strike on the same game engine.
Como sempre o snes ganha do pobre mega.
kkkkkkkk deve ser duro mentir pra si mesmo né? Ver o snes tomando um pau, ver nos comentarios todos comentando a vantagem INEGAVEL do mega drive e mesmo assim se negar a aceitar a verdade... descansa nintendista rsrsrs
@@Devilhelll Descansa seguista. Teu pobre mega sempre foi o piorzinho kkkkkk.
@@danielsantana8606 Tão piorzinho que ta ai dando um pau no snes e ate com resolução maior... Sem contar que a maioria dos jogos multplataformas pra ambos o mega sai na vantagem... Tanto é que vcs sempre ficam la presos na mesma listinha de sempre, rock in roll racing, top gear, turtles, sunset riders e começa a acabar por ai... Ai tem que ficar mentindo pra sí mesmo.
@@Devilhelll Descansa soldadinho seguista. Teu console é o pior e pronto. Agora fique ai escrevendo sozinho que tenho mais o que fazer. kkkkkk é cada um que me aparece.
Slownes!!!
A versão de snes botou pra mamá de novo, sprites bem maiores, arcade like
#snesneles #snesate2036
Na verdade é pela resolução mais baixa e pelo formato 8:7 da tela... Então para preencher a tela a imagem é "esticada", mas assim se perde um pouco do campo de visão... Nesse quesito o mega quase sempre se sai melhor.
@@megaigor fake news, o snes tem mais resolução, ranma é a prova
na prática a maioria dos jogos tem resolução maior no mega, isso é um fato... esse jogo mesmo no mega roda a 320x240, enquanto no snes está em 256x224
@flaviochaos tipo o EWJ, mas a fase exclusiva lá é mó paia, tem literalmente m*rda rolando nela...
Sega clearly wins this one. The ugly streched image alone already defeats the SNES here.
1st
No Super Nintendo tudo fica mais gordinho não sei porque.
@flaviochaos realmente
Vejo que a resolução no Mega Drive é maior.
Por isso que na segunda fase do rei leão do super Nintendo
É muito chata
Pois a resolução é cortada e
Isso atrapalha em muitos jogos .
snes is smoother...bigger sprites is always win
Evil Mase "I like my pixel art in the wrong aspect ratio and my screen resolution as small as possible."
Smoother? The snes version? LOL at those fanboi glasses
SNES have streched screen. Snes wins blablabla
Este jogo é muito ruim, no mega o foda é que o som parece um remix de peidos.
os sprites no snes são maiores
Wrong! Just less resolution than Megadrive ones. That's the reason you can see more battlefield in Megadrive version.
The SNES screen is cropped. That doesn't make it better.
Esticados. 256x256 é a resolução no SNES. Inferior e ainda roda pior.
Esse jogo é tecnicamente incrível, porém chato.
@@3xperiment8 eu gostava do Choplifter, o desert strike eu achava chatinho de jogar mais de meia hora, como você citou.
Aquele nuclear strike de ps1 era maneirinho.
Os gráficos são basicamente os mesmos, o SNES não teve vantagem alguma mesmo com a paleta de cores superior, o Mega por outro lado tem vantagem na resolução, de longe é a melhor versão aqui.
Acho que a unica vantagem do SNES é o som, mas mesmo assim não salva, Mega ganha facil aqui.
Snes version sucks
snes ofc
Both look boring as hell.
I'm lost here, someone help me?
I do know Battletech and Mechwarrior, but I never knew they were the same game!
In fact, there is both games to sell as different games even to this day!
Is this a case of Another World / Out of this world ?
