As a megadrive and snes owner back in the day who had both games on both systems, its hard to deny the SNES version is superior in terms of graphics, the intro is more high end, the sound is more orchestral. BUT. There was something VERY SPECIAL about the Megadrive version to me personally and I personally preferred that. Sound, atmosphere, game play, difficulty, it was all very raw. In fact this year its my nerdy aim to go out, and buy a megadrive and snes and select few games and build a little man cave and play them on an old tv like I did as a kid.
Two entirely different games. Do you want a more straight-forward action game? Get the Genesis Version. Do you want something more like a scarier Metroid? Get the SNES version.
I'm of the mind that these are games that should not be compared because they are completely different. For its time, the Genesis version was a great arcade type game. The Snes version was a good simulation type game with different tasks to complete. It got a bit boring for me after a while. That being said, Alien 3 on Snes was a good, if not great game that did a lot of things right, but at the end of the day, the charisma and masterpiece music of the Sega Genesis version of Alien 3 wins for me.
The SNES could not have managed the Alien 3 game as a port so made a new game by necessity. It stands to reason the design is lacking in comparison. Alien 3 was on all the 16 bit microcomputers but the SMD was easily the best version. SNES A3 feels like Jurassic Park 2 in space. Very week sound as to be expected from the SNES.
@@orderofmagnitude-TPATP only at the end of the movie, those "android marines" had some; I prefer the SNES version due to the music and sound effects which create a great atmosphere combined with the graphics
Alien 3 on Genesis had much more basic gameplay and a Matt Furniss soundtrack. The SNES was a mini-Metroidvania with an ambient style and feel, with conveniently mapped weapons for different buttons. To be honest, I see no competiton between the 2 versions, both are good in their own merit and style
Back in the 16-bit era, the Super NES version was beloved and widely considered to be the superior version of Alien 3. The moody graphics and clever use of lighting put it ahead of Sega’s version. The Genesis version is good, not great but solid, and a quality action-shooter. The SNES version, however, has a far greater sense of dread, as you are walking among shadows. But this is typical for Acclaim, who were usually more successful on Nintendo’s system. That said, both videogames are very good and fans will have a fun time.
Great summary, Daniel. Hardcoregaming101 wrote a nice article going into great detail as to why the SNES version is better. The popular opinion has always been that the SNES version was the better game, but that both of them were worth playing -- especially for Alien fans. Neither of them hold a candle to Alien: Isolation though, which I just finished this past week. Like the movies, you don't run around blasting adult Xenomorphs left and right. You try to get away. AI does that, while these 16bit era games treated them like Goombas from Super Mario Brothers.
@@Godaikun Alien: Isolation is THE definitive Alien game. There wasn't anything better before and, sadly, nothing better has come out since (like an Alien: Iso 2, sigh).
Isso que era legal nessa época. Independente de qual era a melhor versão tecnicamente, o mesmo jogo tinha gameplay, gráficos e sons diferentes e era justamente isso fazia eu querer ter as duas versões. Hoje é TD igual não muda.
@@roadkill_52 I kinda wish it was. Jeroen Tel is one of my favorite game composers, and I'd like to hear him take a crack at composing with the Genesis sound chip.
I grew up playing this on the SNES and got the Genesis version about two years ago. I prefer the SNES mission based gameplay vs the Genesis "Item" hunt, or in this case, prisoner hunt. Instead of finding and completing the objectives at your pace you are up against a hard clock and the game comes down to memorization and massive amounts of trial and error.
The SNES-Alien 3 has the better and creepy Alien-atmosfear with better sound and graphics. Same name - different games. I hate time-limits too. I prefer the SNES-game - but, honestly Back then I also enjoyed the Master System-Alien 3, one of the best looking 8bit-games (parallax-scrolling!) and with all the weapons! ...sadly it has a time-limit...
são jogos bem diferentes, o do mega é um "run and gun" classico enquanto o do snes é um adventure de exploração mais parecido com metroid, é meio claustrofobico quase um survivor horror genero que surgiria só na geração seguinte... entre os dois eu fico com o snes, é um game mais interessante
Na época joguei os dois jogos no lançamento. São jogos bem diferentes. Ambos muitos bons. Eu fico com a versão do Gênesis /Mega-drive pela ação frenética e música soberba.
The SNES version was better. The sound effect, music was much more Alien and atmospheric. on the SNES, when you kill a xenomorph or facehugger, you get a nice scream. The faded black edging on the SNES also made the game highly suspenseful and engaging in the right kind of way as you were always on edge moving around, like you should be. The graphics are better on the SNES, they are more muted and smoothed, which suites this setting and atmosphere. The SNES is a better version. One of the few times the SNES beats out the Genesis.
I think the SNES version is a lot better, the mission system on the terminal. It's really quite nice, the graphics and the sound are a lot better and I also find the atmosphere more oppressive. I think there could have been more on the Megadrive if you'd put a lot more time and money into it.
A ambientação no Alien do snes é incrível, muito imersiva! Gráficos e trilha sonora superior ao do Mega. Sei que muita gente escolhe a versão Mega por nostalgia, mas a do snes é muito superior.
verdade, mas a imagem do snes é esticada e se perde cenário com isso, também a movimentação é meio lenta do personagem, não é fluída como a versão do mega, mas é mais rico em detalhes, prefiro a versão do snes por isso, pena o processador ser lento, isso atrapalha e muito a movimentação e a jogabilidade!!!
I've always had this crazy idea to make a custom arcade cabinet very similar to the one KONAMI had for ALIENS, but I'd have it themed for ALIEN 3 and trade off between both versions in this video.
01:22 -The sound track ''Genesis'' is very best of version for me ! The version Super Famicom is nice but, the version ''Genesis'' she superior for the sonorous Yamaha processor. The gameplay version ''Super Famicom'' is best against ''Genesis'' for me. The big probleme, in version ''Genesis'' is timer, very very big probleme !
I think that it's great that their is two different versions of this game for two different systems. I like how Sega and Nintendo wanted to do their own project and try to make it stand out in their own way. Now when games come out on Xbox One and Ps3, they are practically identical with very little differences. That's a shame!!!
@@WALDENSOFTWARE There were actually quite a few games with the same or similar title but either vastly or slightly different gameplay back in the day. Some notable examples were Aladdin and TMNT (Turtles in Time for SNES and Hyperstone Heist for Genesis). Of course, their were also plenty that were fairly identical aside from general graphics and sound like The Adventures of Batman and Robin, Star Trek (Future's Past on SNES and Echoes from the Past on Genesis), Earthworm Jim and many others.
@@SkyScourgeGod Yeah, but most of those had a slightly different title. This one was marketed as the exact same game and lots of us did not find out it was different until much later.
I am a SEGA supporter but seriously the SNES version is way better. The colours and effects are not even close. The megadrive looks too much like the master system version.
Good version. But this is one of my favourite Mega Drive games. I find the colours quite vivid and eye-catching as well as ominous and brooding. The environments are also more varied with different themed stages.
Genesis: 4 Mb SNES: 8Mb The answer seems obvious, in what is graphics, variety of enemies and sound, SNES wins. On top of being more new console, the game had double storage that the version of Genesis, who depended more megabits because besides always use higher resolution. What SNES lost in the speed game. Ripley looks floating in space how slow jumps and moves, like the aliens too. The game has a slow and rough gameplay, because it uses a switch to crouch, it is very confusing and tedious shoot that way. Among this way of shooting, the low speed of play, and the predictable appearance of the aliens make the game boring. Its music was good, no more. The attack of the aliens are more realistic in Genesis, since they appear suddenly, causing a small jumpscare even if you are focused on searching hostages and take some time without receiving attacks. Its music was epic, and although the sound effects were not very varied, were efficient. Perhaps they missed more variety of enemies by the lack of storage.
I've not heard someone try to make the 70 less pixels an bonus point for the SNES. It doesn't work like that sadly. Most SNES games used up their cart space with (low bitrate) PCM instruments and 15 bit colour.
Snes version more atmospheric with better graphics and I think the slower speed is more indicative of the movies. The sound fx in the megadrive are awesome compared to what most games output on the system
Objectively, the SNES version is the better game; unquestionably. I feel it fits into hidden gem category tbh; a proper top tier snes game overlooked due to it being a movie licence tie in. Fucking great game...
@@aridyvansantos A trilha do Snes tem muito mais haver com a tematica da série. Quando ouço a trilha da versão do mega, nem parece que estou jogando um game baseado numa franquia de terror e ficção científica
Genesis - Arcade fast action SNES - Dark atmosphere, without any arcade style Result: Buy the Genesis version, if you like the arcade style, or buy the SNES version if you like a more serious game.
Gostava das duas versões na época, mas a versão do MD me trás melhores lembranças... os gráficos são piores, porém a jogabilidade é bem fluída... No SNES parece um slideshow... fora a odiada e famosa censura da Nintendo...
Sim,existe pras duas plataformas. A versão do Meguinha é mais próximas dessas duas. Tem uma OST bem parecida com a do Master tbm (até pq o compositor foi o mesmo,Matt Furniss). Apesar de que a OST do NES é ótima tbm,Jeroen Tel acertou a mão como de sempre.
I liked to SNES better. The only thing that killed the Sega version for me was the timer if not for that I would have liked it. I know it was an arcade port but console ports shouldn't be like that or they should have given the players options.
I grew up with and was always a fan of the SNES version. The timer on the Sega version was a deal breaker for me. In saying that though I'm willing to go back to try the Sega one. My opinions have changed over the years and maybe it will for this
Alien 3 de sega genesis es por lejos el mejor juego la banda sonora es increíble el rifle de pulso es muy bueno los sonidos de las balas los xenomorfos todo esta de ptm!!
Tecnicamente a versão do Snes é melhor, mas eu juro que tentei joga-la, mas achei muito chata, já versão do mega a jogabilidade é viciante por isso a joguei muito mais, por esse motivo eu prefiro a versão do mega.
Tenho os dois jogos, a versão do snes é cansativa, só tem um bom gráfico, mas a versão do mega massacra no som e na jogabilidade, é incrível, você parece entrar no jogo, além de ter uma tela maior. Um certo colega falou uma grande verdade, jogabilidade é 90% do jogo, o mega ganhou essa muito fácil, pura adrenalina.
Apesar dos belos gráficos do snes, o jogo é meio cansativo, as missões se repetem...perde a graça. Já no mega é ação do começo ao fim, e tem a tensão do tempo também!! Show de bola!! Mega leva essa fácil!!
Foi o que falei tb o jogo tem melhor grafico e efeitos sonoros, as musicas algumas boas, prefiro as do mega drive. Apesar de mais longo a versão do snes fica bem cansativa e chata porque são as mesmas missões e a ripley parece que se arrasta.
it was a hard decision which to choose but in the end best aliens 3 game Goes to Super Nintendo has better graphics better presentation from the movie Better Sound and better gameplay if you don't believe me watch console Wars Episode Alien 3 will see why I'm saying this best aliens 3 game go Super Nintendo
game Survivor Why do I need someone else's opinion to say what the better game is? I personally think the graphics on the Genesis version look better. Ripley at least looks more like Ripley.
São estilos diferentes de jogo com o mesmo tema, será normal haver uma divisão. Eu prefiro mais o port do SNES, até por ser o único que joguei, mas apaenta se encaixar mais com meu estilo de jogo.
oh come on on the megadrive looked like some generic platform game at least the snes version is more alien like more atmospheric better graphics better sound probably played better too
Assisti esses dias uns 10 comparativos entre Mega e Snes e sempre o som do Snes parece que colocaram um travesseiro na frente, sai abafado, para as músicas pode ser que o som do Snes seja melhor como muitos dizem, mas para efeitos sonoros eu acho o mega muito superior. No caso desse vídeo Mega Vence.
Roberto Delgado la de snes es aburrido porque le echas demasiadas horas a los niveles y no podes guardar partida ademas cuando lo jugas en media hora te aburre.
Background graphics on the SNES version are better (although the Genesis version is poorly represented here). The Ripley sprite in the Genesis version si vastly superior. I loved the Genesis version, but the music seems completely ill-fitting... good music in any other game, but completely inappropriate for an Alien game.
Questão de gráfico o super sempre vence. Mas o mega drive leva sempre vantagem no quesito animação. No super nintendo sempre falta algo. Os jogos do Mega é sempre mais completo
Para mi deu empate, pois o Genesis tem músicas fantásticas, e uma ação desenfreada, com aliens para todo lado, bom para quem gosta de uma pega mais Contra wannabee. Agora, o de SNES tem toda a atmosfera do filme, e você realmente se sente a Ripley, tendo de cumprir missões e sobreviver aos aliens. Sei que ambas as versões não seguem nem um pouco o filme, mas ainda assim trata-se de games que a meu ver (junto com Alien Trilogy) superam o filme Alien 3 em si!
O snes tem uma atmosfera muito mais fiel a do filme, mas é também um game muito mais cansativo. Honestamente, ambos não me parecem ser lá essas coisas , mas a de genesis ao menos parece ser um pouco mais divertida.Fora a trilha sonora bem mais criativa.
The Snes was a handsome and muscle power guy, but the Mega Drive was a wise master of the most powerful martial arts, at least in this stage. Probably the Mega Drive version, because it's a more fun and balanced game.
I've played both. The SNES wins this one in every single way. It's too bad this TH-camr couldn't be bothered to learn how to play the game competently. You have a different button designated for each of your three weapons and you usually want to crouch and take things slow in most areas.
Alien 3 comparando com filme snes ganha facil mas em termos de arcade o mega ganha facil tb ai depende do gosto do jogador, eu prefiro snes pq é mais sombrio alien é pra da medo aquele nervosismo quando joga e o do mega parece que ta jogando contra os aliens quando morre faz barulho de explosao de granada, e alien é mais terro e nao açao
I think both are good in their own way, for different reasons. The MD version (which I owned) has a darker more menacing vibe. It feels like an "action/horror" game. Also the music on the MD version suits that horror aspect. The title music on the Gen is still highly memorable, it's "mesmerising" in a rather odd way. You can't forget it once you hear it or remember it from your childhood. The snes version on the other hand, is more fun and action packed. The music, and sound effects gives a more action themed atmosphere + the cutscenes drives the game's story more. If you owned both versions of the game, you actually would have alot to gain from it, because unlike most snes vs genesis ports.. these two games are actually very different "interpretations" of the same game.
The Genny version looks to be an okay game, but the SNES version blows it out of the water. In terms of presentation and music, it isn't even a contest, SNES kills it. Not a fanboy of either console, I love both, but in this case? The SNES version is the better game hands down.
Yup, no ports here. Two completely different games both in presentation and gameplay. The SNES version was more cinematic while the Mega Drive version is the more arcade action game with awesome parallax scrolling. Basically a 16 bit version of the 8bit games on Master System, C64 and NES.

As a megadrive and snes owner back in the day who had both games on both systems, its hard to deny the SNES version is superior in terms of graphics, the intro is more high end, the sound is more orchestral.
BUT.
There was something VERY SPECIAL about the Megadrive version to me personally and I personally preferred that.
Sound, atmosphere, game play, difficulty, it was all very raw.
In fact this year its my nerdy aim to go out, and buy a megadrive and snes and select few games and build a little man cave and play them on an old tv like I did as a kid.
So....... Did your plan work?
GOTTA HAND IT 2 THE SNES VERSION, BETTER GRAPHICS N SOUND, BETTER INTRO!!
How's the cave doing my guy?
We need a report from the cave!
I don't see the "very special" because is the same game like Nes and others.
Two entirely different games. Do you want a more straight-forward action game? Get the Genesis Version. Do you want something more like a scarier Metroid? Get the SNES version.
Andrew Vrba Agreed. Comparing the two is pointless as they serve entirely different purposes. Apples and oranges.
More like comparing Golden Delicious and Granny Smith.
I'm of the mind that these are games that should not be compared because they are completely different. For its time, the Genesis version was a great arcade type game. The Snes version was a good simulation type game with different tasks to complete. It got a bit boring for me after a while. That being said, Alien 3 on Snes was a good, if not great game that did a lot of things right, but at the end of the day, the charisma and masterpiece music of the Sega Genesis version of Alien 3 wins for me.

and boooooring too
Never played the snes version but I grew up playing the genesis version easily one of my favorite games
I have no doubt, the SNES Version is DA WAY TO GO!!! Trust me😂
I prefer the megadrive version

Funny how there were no weapons in the movie but in both games they're running around with guns.
it improved the movie
If the movie was released 4/5 years later, maybe the game would be a proper Survival Horror.
Not that this one doesn't feel like one...
...but there were weapons in the movie, at the end, ask Bishop (the "creator" of the synthetic human Bishop) :D
Resident Evil 2 (Dreamcast) vs Resident Evil 2 (Gamecube)
Apesar dos belos gráficos do snes, o jogo é meio cansativo, as missões se repetem...perde a graça. Já no mega é ação do começo ao fim, e tem a tensão do tempo também!! Show de bola!! Mega leva essa fácil!!
Foi o que falei tb o jogo tem melhor grafico e efeitos sonoros, as musicas algumas boas, prefiro as do mega drive. Apesar de mais longo a versão do snes fica bem cansativa e chata porque são as mesmas missões e a ripley parece que se arrasta.
I don't remember there being so many Aliens in that movie.
Im surprised how generic the Genesis Version is. The SNES Version was quite a proper Alien game.
it was a hard decision which to choose but in the end best aliens 3 game Goes to Super Nintendo has better graphics better presentation from the movie Better Sound and better gameplay if you don't believe me watch console Wars Episode Alien 3 will see why I'm saying this best aliens 3 game go Super Nintendo
game Survivor Why do I need someone else's opinion to say what the better game is? I personally think the graphics on the Genesis version look better. Ripley at least looks more like Ripley.
São estilos diferentes de jogo com o mesmo tema, será normal haver uma divisão. Eu prefiro mais o port do SNES, até por ser o único que joguei, mas apaenta se encaixar mais com meu estilo de jogo.
The Snes has a really nice intro, but the Genesis/Megadrive version is the better game, it's well known by anyone who collects retro games.
It's well known? I collect games and disagree... maybe I don't have enough games? Since that is the qualifier?

Rob Shell 37 Nah Snes was way better than Genesis garbage.... I guess you play Xbox too don't you!?
oh come on on the megadrive looked like some generic platform game at least the snes version is more alien like more atmospheric better graphics better sound probably played better too
Color, Sound, Atmosphere are vastly superior on SNES.
Mega drive much better S2
Assisti esses dias uns 10 comparativos entre Mega e Snes e sempre o som do Snes parece que colocaram um travesseiro na frente, sai abafado, para as músicas pode ser que o som do Snes seja melhor como muitos dizem, mas para efeitos sonoros eu acho o mega muito superior. No caso desse vídeo Mega Vence.
Junior, tenho os dois e uso a mesma tv, no vídeo aqui está claro o que eu quis dizer.
I remember the snes version growing up being much better graphically now comparing it to the genesis version. But the genesis version is fun still.
Что тут сравнивать... На генезис игра переведена с NES, а на супер Нинтендо сделана по новой с нуля.
Até a música do jogo mega transmite sentido de urgência...
O Alien do snes é injogavel. O do mega é divertido e tenso. Você não mostrou o principal: A agonia quando não se salva os caras no mega.
Por que é injogável? Parece bom, num estilo meio metroidvania...
@@morpheus1345 A jogabilidade é ruim.
@@morpheus1345 E não tem nada de metroidvania.
@@paulsimon6969 Eu só comentei o que vi no vídeo, pois não joguei nenhuma das versões.
A Versão do Mega parece ser aquela versão 8 Bits do NES e Master, sério, é praticamente idêntica, enfim, SNES ganhou de lavada essa.
Is it possible to cheat turn off the timer on the genesis game?
Graphics and sound effects on Snes are awesome
La version de snes es muchisimo mejor la de sega simplemente NO EXISTE los que digan lo contrario es q estan ciegos
Roberto Delgado la de snes es aburrido porque le echas demasiadas horas a los niveles y no podes guardar partida ademas cuando lo jugas en media hora te aburre.
Never played the SNES version, looks like a very different game. The Genesis' is one of the best platformer/shmups ever released on 16 bit console.
What kind of environment is this with ladders everywhere and small platforms that move about....
Galera, também joguei as duas versões, o som do jogo do mega é simplesmente viciante, também a jogabilidade é muito boa, essa o mega ganha disparado.
Background graphics on the SNES version are better (although the Genesis version is poorly represented here). The Ripley sprite in the Genesis version si vastly superior. I loved the Genesis version, but the music seems completely ill-fitting... good music in any other game, but completely inappropriate for an Alien game.
Everything about the snes version is better by miles
except for speed and smoothness but yeah snes looks the better game for sure
Questão de gráfico o super sempre vence. Mas o mega drive leva sempre vantagem no quesito animação. No super nintendo sempre falta algo. Os jogos do Mega é sempre mais completo
Snes all the way
Para mi deu empate, pois o Genesis tem músicas fantásticas, e uma ação desenfreada, com aliens para todo lado, bom para quem gosta de uma pega mais Contra wannabee. Agora, o de SNES tem toda a atmosfera do filme, e você realmente se sente a Ripley, tendo de cumprir missões e sobreviver aos aliens. Sei que ambas as versões não seguem nem um pouco o filme, mas ainda assim trata-se de games que a meu ver (junto com Alien Trilogy) superam o filme Alien 3 em si!
Soy Seguero pero en este caso gana SNES. El port de Snes parece casi un juego de 32 bits y el port de Sega mas parece un port de 8 bits.
Retro Console Zone para gana el de sega.
Snes Wins!
O snes tem uma atmosfera muito mais fiel a do filme, mas é também um game muito mais cansativo. Honestamente, ambos não me parecem ser lá essas coisas , mas a de genesis ao menos parece ser um pouco mais divertida.Fora a trilha sonora bem mais criativa.
Music is more intense on the genesis love it, don,t like the snes tunes again, but great graphics and nice cut scenes!!
Snes wins!
The Snes was a handsome and muscle power guy, but the Mega Drive was a wise master of the most powerful martial arts, at least in this stage. Probably the Mega Drive version, because it's a more fun and balanced game.
I've played both. The SNES wins this one in every single way. It's too bad this TH-camr couldn't be bothered to learn how to play the game competently. You have a different button designated for each of your three weapons and you usually want to crouch and take things slow in most areas.
Snes wins!.
Mega drive ganha na jogabilidade e o super nes nos gráficos, fico com versão do mega, pela jogabilidade e ação
Alien 3 comparando com filme snes ganha facil mas em termos de arcade o mega ganha facil tb ai depende do gosto do jogador, eu prefiro snes pq é mais sombrio alien é pra da medo aquele nervosismo quando joga e o do mega parece que ta jogando contra os aliens quando morre faz barulho de explosao de granada, e alien é mais terro e nao açao
I think both are good in their own way, for different reasons.
The MD version (which I owned) has a darker more menacing vibe. It feels like an "action/horror" game.
Also the music on the MD version suits that horror aspect. The title music on the Gen is still highly memorable, it's "mesmerising" in a rather odd way. You can't forget it once you hear it or remember it from your childhood.
The snes version on the other hand, is more fun and action packed. The music, and sound effects gives a more action themed atmosphere + the cutscenes drives the game's story more.
If you owned both versions of the game, you actually would have alot to gain from it, because unlike most snes vs genesis ports.. these two games are actually very different "interpretations" of the same game.
On the left side I'm hearing music and sound effects. On the right side I'm hearing noise! 😆
I used to play this game lot back in the day. No doubt, for me Genesis version is better.
The Genny version looks to be an okay game, but the SNES version blows it out of the water. In terms of presentation and music, it isn't even a contest, SNES kills it. Not a fanboy of either console, I love both, but in this case? The SNES version is the better game hands down.
A versão do mega é muito legal mas no comparativo o SNES é melhor.
SNES wins!!
wow Super Nintendo version really looks great
Yup, no ports here. Two completely different games both in presentation and gameplay. The SNES version was more cinematic while the Mega Drive version is the more arcade action game with awesome parallax scrolling. Basically a 16 bit version of the 8bit games on Master System, C64 and NES.
i played them both when they where new, snes alien 3 rapes megadrive alien 3
