This was a great video! Capt. America and the Avengers was such a fun game...on the Genesis! Those voice overs were ridiculous but definitely part of the charm of the game.
Dat backwards intro, topped only by that ending XD Shame I only played the SNES version. Guess I should check out the Genesis version as well. Look forward to the nest one. People have wanting that one for a long time.
That golden shower was pretty hilarious! I can't decide which version to get. I usually prefer the SNES version, but the Genesis one does seem better. The temporary invincibility on the SNES baddies does sound like a deal breaker, though. Once again, great episode guys!
Lony XIsde AHuahuahaua concordo! Parece que sempre tem brasileiros nos meus canais favoritos xD É bom saber que mais e mais brasileiros estão não só aprendendo inglês, mas percebendo que o melhor do TH-cam tá em inglês xD
Awesome episode! I've only ever played the Genesis version, which I'm glad to see mopped the floor with the competition, and I'm always on the lookout for the collector's pin that came included.
I hope one day an NEC guy could represent turbo grafx 16. Just for a special episodes every now and then. Will you guys ever do other generations of sega/Nintendo systems?
The intro for this one was really well done, it was one of my favorites so far. I also liked the ending with Sam (and major props for her wearing the Mega Man shirt!). Anyway, I used to own this game for SNES, but I didn't care for it, so I eventually traded it in for store credit at an old local video game store. I think I may end up buying the Genesis version at some point, though, because it looks more playable.
wow that's interesting how the same arcade game had two different publishers porting it to the home system. I think the enemy flickering is the big deal breaker for the snes version.
To me the worst part of the SNES version are the totally arbitrary changes to the game art from the original game. It seems like the SNES development team wasn't even trying to replicate the original game.
This game brings me back to 2013, when I reviewed both games. I do have to mention that the flicker time on your own character is FAR shorter on the SNES version, which utterly ruined the game for me. Great analysis by the way! Can't wait for the next episode ;)
While I've already seen reviews of both versions of this game, I was really looking forward to your take on this battle. This game has a reputation as being bad, but I enjoyed it back in the day and still do. I got this one on a blind hunch shortly after I got my Genesis never regretted it. I got a lot of enjoyment out of it then and still play it. I love the music in the Genesis version. The SNES version is even more disappointing since it came out quite a bit later, and possibly on a larger cart. Clearly some bad decisions were made in its development. Another fun episode, guys. I always look forward to these. Thank you, Console Wars!.
Where's TurboGrafix...? you need a 3rd wheel...for the rare game that hit all 3...plenty of sega vs turbo...but all 3 can be tuff...mario vs sonic vs bonk...
Great episode guys! I love the Gamesack style that you use, but your editing is totally different, which makes for an awesome channel to be subscribred to! Keep up the great work!
Vision shooting those lazers from his groin 😂. I've seen this channel a couple of times through the years but man I have been loving these videos lately. I had to finally subscribe. You know eventually you guys gonna run out of games between these two and your going to have to do console wars for PS1 and N64
console wars, if you have a interest at cinematic platformer,(which is probably one of the most minor genre in the video game history) can you compare genesis and SNES version of flashback : the quest for identity ? it's probably the only game that everything is better on genesis.
+Holothurion Idk. See, the thing was that I was making a MegaMan X joke. In X6, you can input a cheat code that turns Zero black. It also gives him double attack power and defense.
TheMamaluigi300 But while Zero's armor is the one that turns black, while his "skin" remains light colored, here it's the other way around: the skin darkens while the costumes remain the same. Taking all of this into account, it can be concluded that their attack and defense are halved. XP
Console Wars Idk if you can use that with a Mac. All I know is that you will have to use a scart to HDMI converter. Also scart is way better than composite. I do know that review tech USA managed to get footage of it so you could ask him
Yu know, I'm a Nintendo fanboy, but aside from the beautiful cutscenes and the more detailed floor, I gotta admit that SEGA had this one (dammit, I don't feel like expanding my extremely limited Mega Drive library)
Great episode and I think I know what episode will be next. It's Tiny Toon Adventures. I know those lryics and it has to be Tiny Toon Adventures. Anyways, great episode and can't wait for the next one. :)
Yes the episode that I've been waiting for. America still needs your help. Another great episode guys, keep it up. Here's a suggestion Stunt Racer FX (SNES) vs Virtua Racing (Genesis)
This is my first time watching any of your videos. I really enjoyed it. It's well researched and a very good idea. You've got a new subscriber. Keep it up
"They're furry, they're funny!" I got it! Next Console Wars is Tiny Toon Adventures! Most likely Buster Busts Loose! for SNES and Buster's Hidden Treasure for Genesis.
I really love this game... in arcade, i really dissapointed with snes version, the cutscenes are beautiful, but i missed the graffity in stage 1, the ridiculous voice of the mandarin and red skull supervising to giant red skull at end. Finally the shame: 1 hit, then run... no way!! I never played the genesis version, but in fighting and beat em up games, sega always is better. Thanks for the video.
Please do an episode on NBA Jam. I feel like it goes hand in hand with your wrestlemaina review, and there ARE significant and VERY CRITICAL differences.
Fantastic episode, I knew the Genesis version would win. Also what makes the Genesis version better is that it has 7 continues where as the SNES version has up to 5, making it even harder than ever.
jajajaja! Hail to Sega! :) got at the same time in child hood, got both now in my collection but its more than 20 years without play it. Back to 1993 I use to compare both games with my still Bestfriend Gamer ...you guys do take me back in time :) Thanks!
great episode! I thoroughly enjoyed it! however, I'm gonna have to say the snes takes the graphics category for sheer clarity alone, but agreed that the Sega version is probably the more fun one overall!
This has to be an extremely rare case where the Genesis port wins IMHO. To me, the biggest thing the Genesis has going for it is that it seems like they tried to replicate the look and presentation of the original arcade with most changes being mandated by the limitations of the hardware, whereas the SNES version has a number of changes in these areas that seem rather arbitrary. When discussing a port, similarity to the original game is of key importance IMHO, so for that reason I would probably give the presentation nod to Genesis as well.
NICE! I new SEGA was gonna clean house on this one!!!!! So much better than the SNES version. The music on the SEGA version is so much better and also I think the controls are also a bit more responsive than the SNES version. and also hence why Team Sega guy was dressed up as Captain America in the thumb nail/intro.
Hope y'all continue this series beyond snes and MD, like Nes vs mastersystem, N64 vs Saturn and Dreamcast vs Gamecube Keep up the good work, best retro game show together with AVGN hands down
The music in the SNES version is pathethic. I'am not stating the Genesis versions soundtrack as top tier, but you can clearly see the music is better here.
since Spider-Man is going to be in the next Captain America movie, I think it would make sense to do a Spider-Man game next for Console wars like "Spider-Man tas game" "Maximum Carnage" or "Spider-Man & X-men Arcade's Revenge" just a thought~great work on the video
Hey guys love the series. I always end up wanting to buy the game you guys chose as the best. Captain America on Sega Genesis it is! Also, I think it may be time to review a sports title and why not start with one of the two most universally loved arcade sports games? NBA JAM or Tecmo Super Bowl
+Console Wars I will say this about the sound quality of the Genesis version, I honestly would agree with you IF the music wasn't as loud as a flashbang grenade going off in my ears...Especially since it covered up most of the voice overs and sound effects
There's nothing better than watching this show eating some delicious Pizza.
Nice!
@@ConsoleWars Also, you know how bad the SNES version is? Very bad! (Originally supposed to be posted in 2016)
What you think turtles are watching when they eat pizza?
@@larrybiggets6702 this
The Sega game was done by Data East. This was an easy win for the Genesis.
Opera House actually
Dude spoilers!
@@benjaminzuniga5750 data east published it opera house developed it
I used to own the SEGA Genesis version of this game myself and surprised that it's better than the Super Nintendo version.
+Ryan Hines-Kazama your profile photo is so ironic xDDDD
Yeah,but here who had it hard,brother!!
"I Nintendo." "And Im SHEGA," "This is CONSHULE WARZ."
Smarty or looks like german
this is killing me lol. they nailed that intro
Haha reverse the tape, that means they had to practice saying hat backwards prolly a lot
TH-cam should add an option to play stuff in reverse
This was a great video! Capt. America and the Avengers was such a fun game...on the Genesis! Those voice overs were ridiculous but definitely part of the charm of the game.
+David Alvarez The voiceovers are def some of the best parts of the game. Can't believe they weren't on the SNES game.
These videos are always such a treat to watch, especially when it's Captain America and the Avengers!
Dat backwards intro, topped only by that ending XD
Shame I only played the SNES version. Guess I should check out the Genesis version as well.
Look forward to the nest one. People have wanting that one for a long time.
flashman92 hahaha Cheers 👍👍👍🍻🍻
The MD version is better.
"You cant escape!"
"You will be the one escaping!" Is one of the best lines in video game history period.
That golden shower was pretty hilarious! I can't decide which version to get. I usually prefer the SNES version, but the Genesis one does seem better. The temporary invincibility on the SNES baddies does sound like a deal breaker, though. Once again, great episode guys!
+Westapo Def get the Genesis version.
10:06
Is that Smash Bros. Melee's theme!?
Great video, I love watching your skits and the way you handle the comparisons.
I legit smiled when I saw this on my feed. Awesome work, guys.
+Matheus Moura Thanks!

love this one! you guys should do the Death And Return Of Superman
Thanks dude! We'll def get to it one day.
Great Review and video! I had fun playing Cap & The Avengers on Sega, too.
+Shawn Williams Thanks! Yeah, its a fun game.
Awesome episode! I've only ever played the Genesis version, which I'm glad to see mopped the floor with the competition, and I'm always on the lookout for the collector's pin that came included.
+amerikanish07 Yeah! I had that pin too, but it got rusty and started to peel apart.
Man, i used to love this game... for SNES! Never played it on Sega, but now i may have to. Great video guys.
I hope one day an NEC guy could represent turbo grafx 16. Just for a special episodes every now and then. Will you guys ever do other generations of sega/Nintendo systems?

Genesis having a block is game changing. I can't wait to play this again.
Yeah, blocking in beat 'em ups is like crouching in a MegaMan game.
Great video guys , i honestly start jumping very happy when i saw my suggestion at the end
+Miguel Angel Franco Ruvalcaba Awesome!

I found this channel a few days back and have binged every video, I get a huge Gamesack vibe from you guys 😊
Great video. Always pumped when I see a video notification from you. Will send some games in a few days. Good luck on the next one!
+Parrydox Gaming Cool. Thanks in advanced.
Looking back, its wild to see how far you two have grown in quality over the years. Love your guys show
Next episode will be Tiny Toons Buster's Hidden Treasure VS Buster Bust Loose.
Great episode. I just remember being super disappointed that the NES game was NOT based on the arcade game, instead it was some crummy platformer.
Finally you guys are in HD.
Great episode guys! I love the Gamesack style that you use, but your editing is totally different, which makes for an awesome channel to be subscribred to! Keep up the great work!
+Billy Disaster Thanks!
Episodes like this are exactly why I'm watching. Two strikingly similar games with a few key differences that makes one the clear winner.
thank you I suggest this long time ago back before Avengers 2 Age of Ultron
You guys deserve more subs and views
Thanks!
I agree!

3:30 Black Cap on Sega! And Black Hawkeye too!
+Holothurion Lol I was thinking Joesy shore Captain America with that tan lol, and heck these guys are both from NJ lol.
Does it give them double attack strength and defense?
TheMamaluigi300 It is possible.
Thinking about it, could it be that these two are in fact Falcon and Black Panther in disguise?
+Holothurion Idk. See, the thing was that I was making a MegaMan X joke. In X6, you can input a cheat code that turns Zero black. It also gives him double attack power and defense.
TheMamaluigi300 But while Zero's armor is the one that turns black, while his "skin" remains light colored, here it's the other way around: the skin darkens while the costumes remain the same. Taking all of this into account, it can be concluded that their attack and defense are halved. XP
You guys should use a scart cable for the Sega genesis.
+justin trailor Can I use that with a Mac? I'm really struggling here to get crisp Genesis footage.
Console Wars Idk if you can use that with a Mac. All I know is that you will have to use a scart to HDMI converter. Also scart is way better than composite. I do know that review tech USA managed to get footage of it so you could ask him
+justin trailor I'll check that channel out.
Console Wars Yah the video where he shows it is called how to get HD out of retro consoles
awesome video. genesis is clearly the better version. how about nba jam comparison?
+Alfredo Figueroa Thanks! Its on the list.
+Console Wars or chuck rock? or joe and mac? fatal fury 2? all these comparisons by you guys would kick ass.
another console wars idea, Pirates of the Dark Water
+saizerboy On the list!
Wow that intro was exelent 👌🏻
Love it guys! So glad when I see a new video in my sub feed! That intro was great too!
Yu know, I'm a Nintendo fanboy, but aside from the beautiful cutscenes and the more detailed floor, I gotta admit that SEGA had this one (dammit, I don't feel like expanding my extremely limited Mega Drive library)

Cool video, I especially liked the Susan Storm pop in cameo.
Yessss! It is amazing to see you again! Did you switch to water?

I still wish there had been a sequel to this game.
Wheres the giant laser

do Mechwarrior 3050 \ Battletech next!
That continual cymbal crash in the SNES music though 😆👍
This has to be an extremely rare case where the Genesis port wins IMHO.

Ah Captain america and the avengers, one of the guilty pleasures from my childhood
I remember the Genesis version having some epic music, i think it was even better then the Arcade version.
+LyricalMasterMind1 Its good stuff.
Buster Bust Loose vs. Buster's Hidden Treasure?
I know it's Tiny Toons related. My childhood would kick the crap out of me if I didn't know that.
