I don't post comments much, but I have to say I've been waiting for this episode for a long time. Lost Vikings for the Genesis is one of my favorite games of all time, and yet everyone ignores it. The most people will go into is the first level, hear that one song, and declare the SNES version superior. Finally the records have been set straight. I feel vindicated. Great episode, very entertaining, and very much appreciated. Thanks!
I'm sorry, I thought it was just another regular platformer 😭 I didn't know it was a PUZZLE platformer. I LOVE that genre. Daiku no Gen-san (GBC), Donkey Kong '94, Mario vs. Donkey Kong, Noobow, Pizza Tower, the Wario Land series, you name it! I love them all! I'll correct this mistake and put that game as a high priority on my gaming bucket list.
LETS GO!!! So happy to see y’all finally doing this game!! 😄 Update: You’re welcome Console Wars for the recommendation and thanks for adding me to the ending, I’m feeling like a kid on Christmas right now for being there. 😃
You touch also the little country of France ! I'm french from the town of Compiègne and I'm in love with all of yours vidéo of comparison ! Thanks for your work and it's now worldwide ! Best regards
@@ConsoleWars I know that is asking too much but an special episode (or something like that) of the next gen with Sega Saturn, Playstation and N64 with the three of you guys, would be awesome too. There are games released for the three consoles (Mortal kombat trilogy, for example).
I could imagine it going like: Greg: I found you faker Pat: Faker? I think you're the fake Nintendo around here. Dan: *Does smug smile at both Nintendos referencing a Sega game* Greg and Pat: "STOP THAT!" *Points at Dan*
Hagane is a little more like strider than Shinobi 3. They are still somewhat similar. The graphics Hagane might get a slight edge, though presentation, sound, and gameplay Shinobi 3 would mop the floor with Hagane.
Huh. I never knew the Sega version had extra levels and three players. That's rad. All this time I just assumed the SNES version was better because Silicone Synapse games usually just worked out that way.
@@inceptional Half? Please. I and everyone else I knew had 6-button controllers for their Genesis. It's just not a valid argument. It's like complaining that you need an analog controller for a PS1 game. That became the new standard for that system so everybody that wanted to keep playing new games got one. If you had a Genesis and no 6-button controller, you couldn't even do what Nintendid, let alone what Nintendidn't.
@@inceptional first of all, only 31 million Genesis units were ever sold, and 19 million of those were the Genesis 2 that shipped with the 6-button controller. And that doesn't even include secondary sales of the controller alone. Don't come at me with a novel full of mistakes. Your guarantee means nothing, and it's a bare fact that more people had a 6-button controller than did not.
@@inceptional Stop with your wrong numbers. I don't care what your sources are, they are wrong and so are you. I prefer SNES, and always have, so I'm no fanboy. But it's a fact that more than half of Sega Genesis owners had 6-button controllers. My personal experience is unrelated, because the facts are there for anyone to find. Quit crying about all the work you put into being wrong, and stop wasting your time. You are arguing from a false premise with bad data and multiple wrong assumptions full of what you think is likely. You're just wrong, get over it.
As a child, one Christmas, I asked for a certain game for Sssseeeega Ggggenesis, but was surprised to see I got "The Lost Vikings" instead. I read the back of the box, saw the screens and was immediately intrigued. I love the game and its style back then, and I'd probably pick it up again today. Beating the game was a challenge since the last few levels are wild, but man did it ever feel rewarding. Years later, I played Lost Vikings 2 on via emulation, and enjoyed that games as well. Here's hoping we'll get an official Lost Vikings 3 via indie devs in the years to come. Awesome episode, guys~
11:14 this classic video game music is love (also on the Mega Drive/Genesis version) but the Sega exclusive tracks 11:33 are next level. I’m playing the switch version Blizzard Arcade Classics and it has both and also a ‘definitive edition’ which ‘combines the best of both versions’.
Being that i've grown up with the Super Nintendo and i would always gravitate towards the version on that system. However with Sega being the system with the least amount of blinky lights in my opinion already then i gave it the win for being the most accessible for people like me with epilepsy.
Couldn't agree more. Grew up with Nintendo but always found myself playing w/ friends on their Sega because of this. Now, luckily I owe both. Cheers, mate.
I'm able to play both versions of "The Lost Vikings", though the Sega Genesis version that I've played is actually one of the games that was included as part of my 196-in-1 game cartridge that I had bought over a year ago on Amazon, but at least it allows me to play the game on the original hardware. :)
I’ve been a fan of this channel for a while now. Just wanna say that y’all are still killing it after all these years. Great job at picking games that I haven’t thought of in a long time, and I’m 40 years old. Keep up the good work!
"We can jump." The greatest hero arc! A tale for the ages. XD I only just heard of this game, had no idea they were in Heroes of the Storm OR that this game got a GBA version. And dang, you guys once again educated me solidly, thanks for showcasing a really unique classic game.
"Jump? Like Criss Cross will make ya? Or more like Van Halen Jump?" I'm more of a House of Pain Jump around kinda guy, but I really truly loved this joke.
thenk you! for this episide! and it is good to hint the next episode. can be on 4th or 9 december. :) Thank you all. youre great. because i love the 90s.1987-1997 or 1983-2001
I always assumed Baleog and Olaf can't jump for the same reason they can't move fast. Eric: "Can't you guys walk any faster?" Olaf: "I'd like to see you lug this shield around for awhile." Baleog: "Yeah, or a broadsword and a lifetime supply of arrows." Olaf: "We'll see how fast you walk." Eric: "Uh oh. I think I hit a nerve. You guys just take your time." Olaf: "That's better."
As much as I love the Super Nintendo (Super Mario World, Super Metroid, Star Fox, and more), I’m starting to like Sega Genesis more. The sound is great especially in this game. The gameplay is improved in some Sega Genesis versions of some games I played on the Super Nintendo back then, but thats just my opinion
It's really a no contest even if we stop at "it's 3 player". I play 3 player with my nephew and niece and it's just so incredible. Such good memories are being had and we don't have to switch characters. Incredible game so far.
Man, 3 player mode looks pretty cool! I know the SNES had multi-tap-made famous by Super BomberMan. But I never played the EA Madden games with multi-tap
I'm actually really excited to see if you guys do a best of or worst of for Daze Before Christmas, because it's surprising one of my favorite games on both systems for some reason...
The music sounds great on both. I honestly couldn't decide which is better. They both knew how to play to the console's strengths. I think in this case, it's a matter of preference.
Ok...the first homeward bound reference made me smile...but the second made me literally LOL. That poor boba fett helmet! I like how one of the vikings impersonations was really just the SNL DA BEARS voice hahaha, gotta say these games are near identical but I agree that Matt Furniss' OST is far superior. Well done, guys!
Your guys production level, has become much better ( i wanted to say Gotten But i felt it wrong for some reason ) very good points and i always thought SNES Lost vikings was the Ultimate version,, "soundtrack" but the other levels is a good push point, i owned both Snes and sega, as a kid, you do a good job for a lot of the comparisons., (still mad about shadow run you got that battle all wrong) but you guys no nothing about the RPG so all is forgiven. your new co host is like if history was changed and Bon Scott, Replaced Brain Johnson two duel control thumbs up. Ps. any way we could get a video with all three of you working together for one video, ,..... maybe. i mean it would please the fans ten fold, maybe play the sega genesis, and sonic mods they made for competing consoles, so supier mario on sega and sonic on snes
Patafoin must have loved the SNES soundtrack. They used a few of the songs in their Sonic Ware compilation. Also, is the next game Daze (days) Before (Bee 4) Christmas (tree)?
So, I wish you guys would bring this up: Since the tiles and sprites are the same, yet the x resolution is different, one of the two games will be either stretched or squashed from what the art was intended to be. Circles always give away what the "correct" game is, and in this case SNES has circles and Genesis has ovals where circles should be. So instead of chalking it up to "seeing more of the screen is better" every single time, maybe instead take into account which one of the two games displays the art as it was intended.
most SNES games suffer from the problem that you're talking about (it's one of the SNES worst issues, its flawed resolution, which is limited in size and has 8:7 shape instead of 4:3) AND this includes The Lost Vikings. Look from here: 4:12 what's supposed to be round or square is round or square on Mega Drive whereas it's all deformed with wrong aspect ratio on SNES. You can further check by watching raw screenshots... moreover, the Amiga or MS-DOS ports have the same assets as the Mega Drive version which further indicates how this game is meant to look. so yeah, good aspect ratio AND wider screen estate, only on Mega Drive ;)
Please do a video of Lost vikings 2 and about the lost vikings history, cameo appearances, what is the future of the franchise, etc It would be a lot of fun
The best part of the episode wasn't so much the comparison and contrast between the two games, as it was more amazingly the final scene when you encouraged those vikings to give jumping a try.
You just gotta jump! Shield or no shield. lol. Loved the homeward bound movie reference. And it’s just another crazy day in Console Wars-a couple of Lost Vikings with some cool props show up! I give “props” to you guys for doing awesome work!
SO MANY 90s REFERENCES IN THE OPENING SCENE! I feel like anybody under the age of 26 won't get a lot of those references. Also Homeward Bound (The Incredible Journey) was an alright movie.
Nice video... Never disappoints Top 3 suggestions for the next video: 1. Final Fantasy 6 vs Phantasy Star 4 2. Fatal Fury 3. Super Mario World vs Sonic 2
You know what could be a good special episode? Maybe go through different genres of games, seeing which system had the better games for their genre. Like what system did sports games better (perhaps Genesis), or RPG's (I would think SNES had the RPG genre on lockdown due to Square giving them a LOT of love in obvious ways), or action or beat-em-ups. Would love to see the games you two are able to find that we've never heard of for each platform that might prove your point towards one system or another in each genre. Other Ideas Include WWF Royal Rumble and WWF Raw, Pitfall: The Mayan Adventures, Race Drivin' (this for a worst game, since the game itself is GOD AWFUL), Shaq Fu (another worst of, and this would be FUNNY), Primal Rage, Revolution X
Some suggestions: Super Street Fighter II Lethal Enforcers Super Double Dragon Vs. Double Dragon 3: The Arcade Game Super Star Wars Vs. Star Wars: Arcade Doom
Basically, every single thing better in the Genesis version other than the increased horizontal resolution is just because it came out later so was afforded that extra time and the benefit of hindsight. You could do all that on SNES and still have it looking, sounding and actually controlling better too. And they definitely could/should have added a more dynamic camera to help show more of the screen ahead of the player in the direction they are moving on SNES as well, just to accomodate for that smaller screen view. But, that didn't happen of course, so it's only fair to give the Genesis the win here.
In the episode of batman forever, maybe dan will play two face and pat the ridler who are in your house, and in tmnt tournament fighter splinter will come out to teach both of you ninjutsu
I always enjoy your costume choices.Guys. also thanks for mentioning the number of levels I was never able to finish the game so I was curious. I knew you guys would do well with this game.
I don't post comments much, but I have to say I've been waiting for this episode for a long time. Lost Vikings for the Genesis is one of my favorite games of all time, and yet everyone ignores it. The most people will go into is the first level, hear that one song, and declare the SNES version superior. Finally the records have been set straight. I feel vindicated. Great episode, very entertaining, and very much appreciated. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
@Benjamin Jagun are u cerious man snes farting instrument snes is console just for babies

I'll correct this mistake and put that game as a high priority on my gaming bucket list.
Gameplay part: Sega, Stop he's already dead !
何？
How much did you pay for these games guys??
I love these games
Why not talk about Lost Viking 2 next?
LETS GO!!! So happy to see y’all finally doing this game!! 😄
Update: You’re welcome Console Wars for the recommendation and thanks for adding me to the ending, I’m feeling like a kid on Christmas right now for being there. 😃
Thanks for the suggestion. Hope you enjoyed it!
Console Wars I surely did, I grew up on the SNES version but have em both now and I have to agree I enjoy the Genesis version more now..

Thanks for watching France!
As I can see I wasn't the only one
Pareil ^^
Tres bien, vive Canada!
In Dan's defense, this game looks JUST like Homeward Bound.
Exactly!
Homeward bound could work as a game.
This game IS Homeward Bound.
@@ConsoleWars Yeah, Homeward Bound, but it involves Vikings, and traveling through time and space.
On the 3 player part, for one moment I thought Greg was going to jump in the couch and finish the episode with both of you.
Hope he's fine
That would've been cool. I'll remember that for future episodes.

@@batfan1939 Greg is battling his way through depression, I really hope he's doing good
Hagane (SNES) vs Shinobi 3 (Genesis)
That doesn't influence when deciding which game is better. I think that Hagane it's a better game, but it's tough as hell.
I actually think Hagane has much more in common with Strider than Shinobi
Hagane is a little more like strider than Shinobi 3. They are still somewhat similar. The graphics Hagane might get a slight edge, though presentation, sound, and gameplay Shinobi 3 would mop the floor with Hagane.
Shinobi 3 by far.
Yea, good luck to Dan trying to acquire a copy of Hagane for it, it’s notoriously one of the most expensive SNES games to buy!
I remember seeing this at the video store, never got to play it. Looks great to this day, old school RULES.
Huh. I never knew the Sega version had extra levels and three players. That's rad. All this time I just assumed the SNES version was better because Silicone Synapse games usually just worked out that way.

Quick turnaround! Can't wait for the Christmas ep!
I was so hype for this episode especially in the music part. I love this series's music.

Another amazing episode! Both the analisis of the differences between games and the humor are great as always
Thanks!
I'm going to guess the next part is Daze Before Christmas.
That was my guess also
That's a good to review around Christmas
Yes please
thanks for the episode, I've been expecting the review for the long time. I suggest Phantom 2040 for some of the next videos
Keep doing your thing Dan. These videos always brighten my day.
Glad you enjoyed it!

WOLFCHILD, FLASHBACK, SUPERFROG, ANOTHER WORLD old good classic for me !!! PLEASE .
The three players multiplayer on the Mega Drive is so fun! I was super bummed out to discover that it was dropped for the sequel..
It's really a no contest even if we stop at "it's 3 player". I play 3 player with my nephew and niece and it's just so incredible. Such good memories are being had and we don't have to switch characters. Incredible game so far.
Man, 3 player mode looks pretty cool! I know the SNES had multi-tap-made famous by Super BomberMan. But I never played the EA Madden games with multi-tap
Not even watched the video yet, but immediate like!
"Thou must watch all TH-camth videos ENTIRELY prior to posting" Quote : Jesus Alfonso Rodriguez Christ
I'm actually really excited to see if you guys do a best of or worst of for Daze Before Christmas, because it's surprising one of my favorite games on both systems for some reason...
Put these on DVD !!!
The music sounds great on both. I honestly couldn't decide which is better. They both knew how to play to the console's strengths. I think in this case, it's a matter of preference.
Ok...the first homeward bound reference made me smile...but the second made me literally LOL. That poor boba fett helmet! I like how one of the vikings impersonations was really just the SNL DA BEARS voice hahaha, gotta say these games are near identical but I agree that Matt Furniss' OST is far superior. Well done, guys!
Your guys production level, has become much better ( i wanted to say Gotten But i felt it wrong for some reason ) very good points and i always thought SNES Lost vikings was the Ultimate version,, "soundtrack" but the other levels is a good push point, i owned both Snes and sega, as a kid, you do a good job for a lot of the comparisons., (still mad about shadow run you got that battle all wrong) but you guys no nothing about the RPG so all is forgiven.
your new co host is like if history was changed and Bon Scott, Replaced Brain Johnson two duel control thumbs up.
Ps. any way we could get a video with all three of you working together for one video, ,..... maybe. i mean it would please the fans ten fold, maybe play the sega genesis, and sonic mods they made for competing consoles, so supier mario on sega and sonic on snes
Patafoin must have loved the SNES soundtrack. They used a few of the songs in their Sonic Ware compilation.
Also, is the next game Daze (days) Before (Bee 4) Christmas (tree)?
THATS IT!!!, ARE WE DOIN THIS!!!!. i love that.
I love pats face of disgusted at 10:15. Amazing episode guys keep up the great work
You'd look like that too if a Viking used your Boba Fett helmet as a toilet.
So, I wish you guys would bring this up: Since the tiles and sprites are the same, yet the x resolution is different, one of the two games will be either stretched or squashed from what the art was intended to be.

Just saw the announcement of the new episode on Instagram, couldnt resist watching it instantly.
The cgi in homeward bound is awesome.
Cheers from Greece guys!
I think this might be the first game that you've covered that I haven't heard of! Thanks for calling my attention to it! Also, great video, as always!
WE NEED MICROMACHINES!!!!!
next episode is Daze Before Christmas
another console wars! i love these!
Genesis totally wins no questions ask, the music really rocks. And i played it completely and boy its not easy!
You had me at 3 player mode... Then you went and threw in exclusive levels... Good GOD!
Pat is getting better and better ... nice job guys
Thanks guys I've been recommending this one for a long time, and waiting a long time.
A day with Console Wars video is always a good day. Thanks for the episode, dudes. :D
Please do a video of Lost vikings 2 and about the lost vikings history, cameo appearances, what is the future of the franchise, etc
It would be a lot of fun
The best part of the episode wasn't so much the comparison and contrast between the two games, as it was more amazingly the final scene when you encouraged those vikings to give jumping a try.
Sega once again gets a solid win. Though its pretty good on both systems. I forgot just how epic the music was in this game!
EShops: Please release Console Wars editions of games so we don't have to choose!
Also: great job on a lesser-known title. Never heard of this one!
You just gotta jump! Shield or no shield. lol. Loved the homeward bound movie reference. And it’s just another crazy day in Console Wars-a couple of Lost Vikings with some cool props show up! I give “props” to you guys for doing awesome work!
Best channel ever. Thank you guys!!!
Thank you!
Glad to see you guys still going strong. Kudos.
So glad you guys did this one this is one of my favorite games!
This was a roller coaster of various emotions
Heh. Pat's Minnesota accent is a great touch.
You guys put way too much work in these episodes, love it.
Sega fucking wins again! Sega is the better console! / Sega fanboy
I've yet to play calender bee tree, but I know its a holiday classic.
SO MANY 90s REFERENCES IN THE OPENING SCENE! I feel like anybody under the age of 26 won't get a lot of those references. Also Homeward Bound (The Incredible Journey) was an alright movie.
Nice video... Never disappoints
Top 3 suggestions for the next video:
1. Final Fantasy 6 vs Phantasy Star 4
2. Fatal Fury
3. Super Mario World vs Sonic 2
Fantastic vid as always guys. Proud to see my fave version get the win!
Homeward Bound gave me ptsd as a child
You know what could be a good special episode? Maybe go through different genres of games, seeing which system had the better games for their genre. Like what system did sports games better (perhaps Genesis), or RPG's (I would think SNES had the RPG genre on lockdown due to Square giving them a LOT of love in obvious ways), or action or beat-em-ups. Would love to see the games you two are able to find that we've never heard of for each platform that might prove your point towards one system or another in each genre.
Other Ideas Include WWF Royal Rumble and WWF Raw, Pitfall: The Mayan Adventures, Race Drivin' (this for a worst game, since the game itself is GOD AWFUL), Shaq Fu (another worst of, and this would be FUNNY), Primal Rage, Revolution X
The Minnesota viking joke is pretty good.
I was just thinking about this game couple nights ago! You guys read my mind.
Loved this game when I was a kid!
Some suggestions:
Super Street Fighter II
Lethal Enforcers
Super Double Dragon Vs. Double Dragon 3: The Arcade Game
Super Star Wars Vs. Star Wars: Arcade
Doom
I didn’t know Vikings still existed!
Basically, every single thing better in the Genesis version other than the increased horizontal resolution is just because it came out later so was afforded that extra time and the benefit of hindsight. You could do all that on SNES and still have it looking, sounding and actually controlling better too. And they definitely could/should have added a more dynamic camera to help show more of the screen ahead of the player in the direction they are moving on SNES as well, just to accomodate for that smaller screen view. But, that didn't happen of course, so it's only fair to give the Genesis the win here.
Never knew about 3 player option! I think now this is a hole in my childhood.
Any chance on doing Super Off-Road? The old school top down racer, not the later one.
In the episode of batman forever, maybe dan will play two face and pat the ridler who are in your house, and in tmnt tournament fighter splinter will come out to teach both of you ninjutsu
I always enjoy your costume choices.Guys. also thanks for mentioning the number of levels I was never able to finish the game so I was curious. I knew you guys would do well with this game.
Both versions have awesome soundtracks. Never knew about the three player mode.
