😂 you just busted 200,000 subscribers are you going to have a celebration video for breaking 200,000 subscribers that's probably a pretty big feet that's a big feet I would say
@@seanthegamer5552 *feat
Do a 3 hr best and worst compilation for the sega like the nes one but for 89-96.. that was 👌
Have you played/seen the 2600 version of Boulder Dash 2?
It truly has to be seen to be believed.
You'd think it was on any system other than the 2600 if you didn't know better.
John can you do the Capcom Arcade Collection 1 and 2 Switch ranked?
Forgotten Worlds' shop music is God tier. Also, when I was able to play Strider at home I was never happier as a youth.
I used to stay in the shop until it timed out just to hear the whole tune!
@@EmperorMegas Same! There is SO much Capcom music that is just engrained in my memory and that track always holds a special place in my heart haha.
I love Strider. My little mind couldn’t believe that game was on the Genesis.
D? Different strokes for different folks I guess. Easy A for me
I like how so many comments are calling out Aladdin for the Genesis is not a Capcom game and then call out John for not doing research but it they took 5 seconds to scan the comment section, they would see it already has mentioned 15 times.
An oversight like that should be corrected as many times as possible.
I'll take it all. The more comments, the more engagement, and that's what TH-cam loves. EAsy to snip (as I already have)
@@JohnRiggs I mean no disrespect. You’re among my favorites for a reason, John.
@@JohnRiggs haha get em!
So once one person mentions it nobody else can? Is this dude your boy or something? Yeah if you have a gaming channel you should probably fact check these simple things…..
Aladdin on sega genesis is not a capcom game
Goin off memory I believe it's Interplay
@@raymoorhouse9139it was Virgin that released Aladdin on the genesis.
@@raymoorhouse9139 Virgin Games.
@@raymoorhouse9139 Virgin games. And i will get alot of hate from this, but i prefer the SNES version, the one that capcom made. I think the gameplay is more fun.
@@raymoorhouse9139virgin...dave perry programmer and tommy tallarico as composer
Toy Story was NOT a capcom game, Strider returms/2 was a US Gold Game
2000000 subs
Love my Sega Genesis!! Another great Vid! You rock John Riggs!!
I don't know if I ever told you? I love Capcom
It's incredible how much variety the gaming industry used to deliver, specially in the 1990s and mid 2000s. It's actually quite a shame that the industry has grown stale these past few years... it's really a shame.
Forgotten worlds is a D? My man, that game was awesome
game is great, controls are not.
Agreed, it was. I would give it an easy A tier.
Honarable mention: Mega Man - The Wily Wars. Think Super Mario All-Stars, only with Mega Man.
Solid B in my book.
Nah it's an S. It fixes Megaman 1 and 3 and it also nerfed Megaman 2's most overpowered subweapons, making it harder (in a good way)
A slight correction on Forgotten Worlds and Strider, Sega did this ports every other port until Street Fighter 2.
Great video! Also The Ghost and Goblins theme is kinda like an elfman style polka which is the best I can describe it.
That's the best description for sure.
How is Ghouls N Ghosts not S Tier?
my thoughts exactly
Because that's how Nintendo marks do
Only game I owned back in the 90s where Funcoland kept increasing what they would pay me for it. It was a really nice port and in short supply
I was fortunate enough to have the sega joy stick 6 button controller back in the day.
The arcade version of the punisher is one of the best beat’em ups
I'm gonna be that guy...Aladdin on Genesis was Virgin, not Capcom
Be that guy. Everyone else is.
@@JohnRiggsthe worst Rigg disaster since Deepwater. Smh.
Praying 4 u bb.
Ghostly Ghouls
Of games released on sega and snes, the genesis does usually FEEL better. Maui Mallard being another great example.
Mega man willys war?
was never a cart in the US when I was growing up IT is now and was on that Sega Channel service, though.
@@JohnRiggs didnt know that.. in from Sweden and we got it, remember back in the day when i saw a add in the game magazine for it.. i bought the sega mega drive and mega cd just for that game but didnt get the game itself 😄
Yep, it was physical release in Europe only. In North America, we only got it as part of Sega Channel.
I was fortunate enough to have both an SNES and a Genesis as a kid. And while I was more into RPGs than anything else, the Genesis still had some stuff I LOVED. Capcom is my favorite overall developer (THough if I'm being honest back then it was probably Squaresoft.) so I always knew they were delivering the goods. That said, Konami made my favorite Genesis game of all time in Rocket Knight Adventures.
Forgotten worlds is NOT A D!!!! Blasphemy!!!
Controls are not hard at all
Love your tier list videos but This is a really bad list, objectively
Aladdin is Virgin, not capcom.
Toy story is Disney interactive, not capcom.
Strider returns...capcom had absolutely zero to do with that game. Thats US Gold
Forgotten worlds, chiki chiki boys, ghouls n ghosts, mercs, and strider were capcom IPs, but sega ported and published, as capcom wasn't a publisher for the platform yet. Which I think is fine for the list. But just know, capcom was not involved in the porting
He seems to be proud of not doing research. He mentions it a lot.
John, I love your videos so much. This one's a gem. When you're figuring out if the song is a waltz at 2:41 it's my literal favorite, by the way. Made me laugh and smile. So glad the algorithm led me to ya. I get such a kick out of all your videos. You're totally one of my fav creators on TH-cam, ya know. I'm grateful for what ya do and glad I discovered ya.
Btw didn't even grow up with these games (I was an N64 child, as well as gameboy, and many Nintendo consoles after) but I love video game history so much
Not used to that many obvious mistakes. Wonder what that is about 🤔
Yeah im surprised. Tons of mistakes
Out of all of the Capcom games for The SEGA Genesis my favorite is Street fighter 2 Special Champion edition and the reason why because I always see Special Champion edition as the closet port to the original arcade version and with the 6 button controller it's an absolute joy to play with my good ol'boy Ryu, although I do enjoy Ghouls'n Ghost as well MERCS.
They did care about your loyalty. Your loyalty = $$$.
They didn't care as much about loyalty as they did about new customers though
Giving an "S" rank to Street Fighter 2 if you have a 6-button controller
And an "A" rank if you have a 3-button controller.
And just a "B" if you have a Master System 2-button controller plugged into your Sega Genesis.
And if you don't have a controller then the rank is "C".
If you don't have a cartridge of Street Fighter 2 it is "D"
As someone who only owned Nintendo systems back in the day, I'm stunned at how much worse the graphics are for the Street Fighter games on Genesis, compared to SNES. Plenty of other Genesis games look fine (I love Contra: Hard Corps), so the Street Fighter games must just run hard into the Genesis' more limited color palette...
Aladdin (for Genesis), Strider Returns, and Toy Story werent Capcom. Strider Returns probably counts only because its a Capcom property.
Great list, but I would've given Saturday Night Slam Masters a "C" because it lacked the tag team mode that the arcade and SNES versions had. The Death Match option was nice, but I would've traded that for a 4 player beatdown every time.
Man these review videos are great, so much nostalgia! 😂
I loved the Genesis port of Forgotten Worlds. I thought the controls were fine.
I never really heard many people talk about the game, so I never knew (or considered) how others felt about the controls. I guess I just assumed everyone was fine with them as well.
I agree with you. The controls were not easy to get used to right away, but play for 30 min and you’re good. Awesome 2 player game with a customizable experience via the shop
Man Riggs I get it’s your list but Geesh. ‘I had terrible gas the day I rented this, D for me because I can still smell that day anytime I pop this game in’.
Forgotten Worlds was a Capcom arcade games, but this was a reprogrammed game by SEGA. For Ghouls n' Ghosts, Chiki Chiki Boys, Merce, Strider it is all the same thing. So technically , these are all SEGA games, reprogrammed and published by SEGA, based on Capcom arcade IP. Like most of these games a lot though. Strider Returns is a US Gold published game by Tiertex, using Capcom IP.
😮😮 Fantasia is my childhood!! How dare you 😮😮😅😅
Man, I still remember the cheat code for forgotten worlds to come back to life when you die but it had to be done on the second controller I believe.
Capcom made themselves on the genesis I don’t care what no one says .!
They supported both consoles but to become the juggernaut they was today, it took sega .!
The was beasting it in the arcades ,
But that genesis 😮💨.
They built their real bones
we never had much time to play Genesis. We were too busy trying to figure out how to beat Shadowrun on SNES.
Coulda spent that time figuring out how to beat Shadowrun on the Genesis
Nice, can you do ranking for SNK Sega Genesis Games in the future please?
Thanks Riggs for the video!! Here are some games i would have loved to see ported to Genesis; 1941, U.N. Squadron, and a non-Capcom fav, Aero fighters (Sonic Wings) would have been cool. If anyone out there with programming skills could do a port of either of these i would be very greatful. At least we now have Final Fight for Genesis!
So happy you’re doing these again!
The Street Fighter games: with a 6 button, B+. With a 3 button, D.
I agree maybe even F cause it’s near unplayable with 3 button. Having to press start to swap between kick and punch is crazy. lol
@@Neo2000gaming The Turbografix version was about the same unless you had a multi button controller. Funny thing, the 3DO had the best home port of SSF2T of the time and also had the problem unless you got the multi button controller too.
John. Aladdin for the Genesis was made by Virgin. Not Capcom. They had zero hands in that game
Everyone freaking out about what is and isn't Capcom...the first few games in the video were programmed for the platform by Sega themselves, they just did such a great job nobody cares because late 80s early 90s Sega was so good they could make a Capcom arcade port themselves without screwing it up. It shows what a death grip Nintendo still had on third parties but how Sega was slowly finding ways to tear it down.
Tons of mistakes in this video... Do you ever check your info before recording? Lol
Nope. Pure nostalgia. Bound to get information wrong or leave out all the stuff I didn't know.
@@JohnRiggs "Screw the video mistakes, I'm filled with pure nostalgia." JohnRiggs probably.
Your explanation for Mercs needs to be preserved through history.
Slam Masters is a wrestling game
Punisher is an A for me. We played it thru several times co-op.
Aladdin for the sege genesis is not a capcom game
Sorry John but Virgin is responsible for the Sega Genesis version of Aladdin so it can't be on this list but the Super Nintendo version of Aladdin will take the A rating 👍👍
I love the ranking videos. Would you ever go back and review the NES games you missed?
Aladdin is a Virgin game. The SNES version was Capcom.
I didn't enjoy the Sega Genesis for a few years after its release. I had enough for one system and got me the Super Nintendo. It wasn't until it had been out about 5 years before I got me a Genesis. Both systems were great, and I really enjoyed them. The SNES / GENESIS days were awesome for gaming!
Aladdin for Genesis is a Virgin game. The SNES version was Capcom.
making a mistake is completely ok. making several because of bad research is awful
The Punisher game on the arcade was a great beat em up. I guess it was not that great when it was ported to the Genesis. Love your videos, keep it up.
200k subscribers. You should have a pizza party to celebrate 🍕
My cousin got Chiki Chiki Boys as a birthday gift. We had a lot of fun playing that game
Oh! You did the waltz thing! My lady does that when she's figuring out if something's a waltz and always says, "123 123 123." Music theory is WAY over my head (I do a lot better with things like sound editing, where I can go by ear, by waveform, or occasionally by math), so I have no idea what she's counting, but it's interesting to see someone else do it! Anyway, Chiki Chiki Boys is a personal favorite of mine, and I think I like this version better than the Arcade original, similar as they are. For the same reason as you, I have the opposite opinon of Forgotten Worlds; MUCH better in the arcade. I also like Great Circus Mystery, and while we got that a bit later, we did at least get Quackshot and World of Illusion after Castle of Illusion, and those were both pretty great.
The best thing about 2 player forgotten worlds is that as long as one of you has life you will make it to the end. Game only ends when you both die at once. If one is alive the other will respawn.
This list of "Capcom" games came from capcom.fandom.com - went by that. capcom.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Genesis_Games
Oh, they link to the SNES version from the Genesis list. Needs a bit of work. No biggie. :)
Try Wikipedia next time
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Sega_Genesis_games
Sega made and published most of the Sega Genesis games in the early games. Sega just liscened the games from Capcom. Capcom didn't make their first real Sega Genesis game till Street fighter.
The Sega port of Ghouls n Ghosts was programmed by none other than Yuji Naka, and his experience with porting GnG's uneven terrain on Genesis was later used for the inclining and declining level design in Sonic the Hedgehog
That’s crazy. First time I saw and played Strider was in Santa Cruz on the boardwalk around 89-92 ish👍🏻
😂 you just busted 200,000 subscribers are you going to have a celebration video for breaking 200,000 subscribers that's probably a pretty big feet that's a big feet I would say
I passed 200k a week or so ago. Huge accomplishment but I'd rather just make these types of videos. I may do something at 250k, though. A live stream with giveaways or something.
Sega themselves did Forgotten Worlds, Ghouls N Ghost, Mercs, and Strider on Genesis if I'm not mistaken. US Gold did Strider Returns.
John Hancock would like this video, Riggs. :)
Omg, sorry to say, but you explained the Original Mode on Mercs quite badly. Its a completly different game, with alternarive routes on map to find secrets, and you build up medals as money to upgrade your soldiers, while you manage their health and resources, changing on the go. This mode itself worth enough for the whole game experience. I love it.
2:25 The third one was Super Ghouls n Ghosts.
B for Strider? Insane. No way.
I suspect that the video has been edited since Toy Story and Alladin aren't here anymore... so anyway I just think that Strider is the foremost game they released on Mega Drive, and I am looking forward to the arcade release of Punisher that's soon to come on the Marcel vs Capcom collection!
... yeah sounds like these wiki writers got some of it wrong? but anyway. I remember enjoying Ghouls n' Ghosts on Genesis, and I don't know if it changed much functionally, but there was a code to play the Japanese equivalent, which I thought was neat. the SF2 games on Genesis, well I loved Special Champion Edition, but Super SF2 I definitely preferred the SNES version. Strider 1 I think I played a little bit of?! leaps and bounds better than Strider Returns anyway, I remember renting that one and not liking it at all.
I prefer the SNES versions of Street Fighter but you gotta admit that the 6 button Genesis controller is PERFECT for SF
I hate to be the one to say it, but Aladdin for Genesis wasn't developed by Capcom, it was developed by Virgin Interactive. For that matter, Toy Story was developed by Traveller's Tales. Capcom wasn't involved in either of those in any capacity.
Strider Returns, on the other hand, is a more complicated story. Strider was by Capcom, but Returns came about because of the licensing agreement Capcom had with U.S. Gold and Tiertex in Europe (and that got even more confusing when the character rights to Hiryu were involved... long story there). Capcom had no involvement whatsover with Strider Returns, aside from maybe signing off on it. It was developed entirely by Tiertex, who also developed the PC game Strider II (no relation to the later Strider 2 for arcade/PS1), as well as the Master System and Game Gear Strider Returns.
Ok professor.
The song you tarara is from Donut Dodo.
MERC was my favorite! Loved the arcade so i ended up buying a Mega Drive import cartridge from a gaming magazine because I wanted to play it at home so badly!
It was Chiki Chiki Boys in all regions for the Genesis, it was only Mega Twins for US arcades. Simple mistake to make.
Chiki Chiki Boys was the same name on the home in Japan and the us version. Mega Twins is the name of the usa capcom arcade version. When sega reprogrammed the game for the Genesis they just kept the japanese arcade name. Chiki Chiki boys was also on the PC engine CD.
uh, uh Mr. Riggs, "The Punisher" is like the bestest game evar. Just kidding, your reviews were all fair and reasonable; great video.
I wish Capcom would've given Sega a few more original Sega games, like Konami did. But they were pretty locked in to the Snes. But at least Capcom knew the Sega was an easier system to port arcade titles to, than the snes. Yes you could port to snes too, but their versions were always cropped, and ran a little slower. Snes did have it's own strengths though, like better color and effects you couldn't do on the Sega without some programming wizard.
There's a Game missing Mercs and 2 games that weren't Capcom games Aladdin and Toy story oops
I'm ok with you adding the non-capcom stuff, they're close enough :)
@YTJohnRiggs-l5h Thanks, fake John Riggs, that means a lot.
I do disagree with your C on The Punisher I'd give that game least a B it's not the original arcade version but it's the only console port love that game
I played the mickey circus game with my son when he was younger. We both loved it, and beat it together. I recommend it to any adults. It wasn't hard, but it wasn't super easy. Relaxing maybe? I hate kirby and modern yoshi for how easy they are and liked this.
I love me some Mercs, man. I'd probably give that one an A.
The goat of youtube
Capcom and Konami the best in the 1980s/1990s
Not even a mention that punisher was originally on the arcade and this was the best genesis could do....
Fun video, Mega Twins looks like a blast and despite being the better version I always preferred the NES Strider for some reason.
1st comment..love the sega md😂 md Aladdin isnt a capcom game wtf??😅😂 Toy Story a capcom game ... ?
Capcom's contribution to the Genesis is the weakest part of a strong portfolio: nothing as impressive as the NES version of 1943, nothing as innovative as the NES adaptation of Strider (so very different from the arcade), and nothing that redefines the genre through sheer excellence like Duck Tales 2.
Strider alone says otherwise
I was born and raised in Santa Cruz, Ca. You must’ve played Strider at the SC Beach Boardwalk
I don't think they had roller coasters n' stuff there But I don't remember the outside of the building, either It was just a HUGE arcade (the biggest I've seen at that point) full of arcades and pinball. In the late 80s it was heaven.
@@JohnRiggs sounds like you were in the Casino part of the boardwalk; a huge arcade with tons of arcade cabinets and rows of pinball game. Good times
Lots of flack for a channel where the guy literally says "I dont research before I do vids"😂😅
john, Ive had the same thought: "ghosts'n goblins", "ghouls'n ghosts", whats #3? I came to the conclusion it was either ghouls'n goblins or ghosts'n ghosts!😂
I didnt grow up in a sega house, but i had Strider on nes. Very different.
Also, i definately didnt know circus mystery came out on genesis. I figured sega got their mickey mouse trilogy and nintendo got theirs.
I could (and maybe should) do the research but I'd rather present with pure nostalgia and more conversation the way I remember it. And if I remember it wrong (which happens often) the comments will let me know.
@@JohnRiggs i watch your channel because of your style. I definitely have been wrong about stuff and why wouldn't you think those games weren't capcom? Oh well.
Maybe part 3 to Ghosts and Goblins could have been Demons and Wraiths. You are certainly right about how we should have acted during the console wars. I was the same, but now I am a true gamer. I follow the games, not the console nor the game producer.
This vid is 9 seconds old so I’m going to watch it
Can you cover the NES games of Limited Run games?
That's actually a fantastic idea. I have the new homebrews (galf, jay & silent bob, garbage pail kids) but never bothered with the reissues like A Boy and His Blob and stuff.
Yes, the SCAT, Shadow of the Ninja, both Star Wars games they did, Double Dragon & Battletoads, and Metalstorm. If you do a review of their limited editions of NES games would be cool too.
The Punisher
None of these games were programmed by Capcom. Most of them were programmed by Sega themselves, under licensing from Capcom.
Hey Riggs is it possible to download that Steel Legion game on a NES Classic
One of the kickstarter tiers is just the rom file
Riggs the Rabbit! Riggs the Rabbit!
