It's astonishing to see just how many Super Nintendo games were also released for the Playstation (and for that matter, the SEGA Saturn). I had no idea just how substantial the overlap was between these 'contempary' systems in Japan. Thank you for the amazing job you do with these videos, I don't know how you find the time, but it's greatly appreciated.

[@RetroComparisons]

I couldn't believe the sheer number of crossovers either. I was researching every SNES game alphabetically and it seemed like every few games there was another that said it had a PS1 port. Thank you so much for watching! It means a lot to me for you to take the time out of your day to watch this and comment on it:)

[@MysteryAGMLegend]

To bad most of them are stuck out in Japan, and never released in the US.

[@RetroComparisons]

@@MysteryAGMLegend I was mentioning this to someone recently that if some of these companies bundled a bunch of their older games from this era and translated them they could make a ton of money with minimal work. Maybe someday that will happen.

[@ikki-gaming8933]

When I bought a N64, my mother told me, that the SNES looks better. At first I was like: "this isn't true", but when I grew older I understood that the SNES has clean pixel graphics, an unbeatable 2D style!

[@RetroComparisons]

I think that 3D graphics were so mind blowing at the time that the novelty really clouded our collective judgment. Looking back now as a whole the 5th generation probably aged the worst out of any generation while the 16 bit era aged like a fine wine.

[@pekkahollola7646]

@@RetroComparisons It only is the case of N64. I think N64 is too problematic with video cables. If you use RGB SCART ( like Packapunch UK ) on PS1 it has very nice clear image. Newer ones (GC,PS2,WII,XboxOG) used component cables: 5x wires which are awesome. PC users of 1995-1999 early 3D games had things way better and much more power.

[@RetroComparisons]

@@pekkahollola7646 The PS1 cleans up really good with its video image. I use RGB Scart cables for it whereas with the N64 I have the UltraHDMI mod and even though it gives the best possible signal it's still a blurry mess for a majority of games. PC users did get much better 3D stuff at the time with the clean image of something akin to the Dreamcast.

[@pekkahollola7646]

Yes this. Difference in PCs vs. Consoles are the proprietary video output cables. In 1990-2000s "retro PCs" there is only common VGA-port cable. But in consoles authentic and original (=meaning best quality) video cables get rare and expensive pretty fast. I had to order some rarer cables from Japan. In Europe 90% of people don't hold on to older cables when new generation comes cables and equipment are trashed. Same said to consoles' proprietary power supply PSU units.

[@MalosaESP]

Well, when you compare 3D games like StarFox, or FPS like Perfect Dark, or 2D games like Yoshi's Story, or racing games like Mario Kart, N64 is always better. Only if you compare different kinds of games, a 2D game vs a 3D game, perhaps 2D games look nicer, but you are not comparing the same type of game.

A really brief period in time when a system fully capable of impressive 3D graphics still had developers focused on 2D. I like to see when they combine both, like Castlevania. The Amiga was sort of like this too, where it took like a year for game developers to get up to speed on what the machine could do, so you had ports from 8 bit games on it.

​@@ricardotakahasi8165 I assumed you meant generations since Xbox One and S are in the same gen. Phones are a bit more like PC gaming in that they're aren't seperated by multi-year lifecycles but also devs don't want to drain the batteries out too much by pushing them. Otherwise tho I generally agree with you that some of the magic is lost in modern games but personally I think that's down to rising costs and perhaps for most people, the PS3 era was the last surprise in terms of technology jump from its previous gen. Apart from Nintendo, I suppose consoles have become a bit closer to PC gaming with its mid gen upgrades

There's a lot more titles on both systems than I would have thought. Amazing work putting this all together, Bill. There's a fair few I knew were on both (mainly the Capcom and Midway games and a few others), but there's plenty I don't recognize. If we are giving a winner, it's probably definitely the PSX, but some games fair better than others in terms of how much better they are on Sony's machine. Norse by Norsewest/Lost Vikings 2 is spiffied up on the PS1 (and Saturn and PC); the fighting games and Captain Commando have nicer sprites, details, and animation; T&E Soft's Pebble Beach and Augusta games and also PGA Tour '96 as well as the Madden games benefit a lot from the PSX's horsepower; the 90s arcade game ports are closer; DooM is a lot more performant and better looking (though the SNES port is quite impressive); etc. But then you have International Superstar Soccer Deluxe and some others that basically got the "SEGA CD" treatment of a slight upgrade with some extra audio and CD-Audio music.

[@RetroComparisons]

Thanks for watching my friend and for always support me on here! I thought that the SNES held its own pretty well though a lot of that may have to do with that Sega CD treatment you mentioned which is a term I may need to borrow going forward. It's always interesting to see what would get only a CD audio upgrade or what would get a total overhaul. I guess this could be said about any gen of consoles but the PS1 in particular is pretty fascinating to me in that it offered games that were on the same level as the SNES/Genesis, had it's own thing going on putting up a great fight against the Saturn/N64, and was also able to hold its own against the Dreamcast as I've been finding out more and more while doing the current season. There's going to be a ton of duplicates but I'm thinking of putting out the same video comparing the Genesis to the PS1 since I probably already have probably over 90% of the footage that I need and can get that knocked out pretty quick.

The fact that a system with half the bits is even competing is a testament to how well the SNES creators did.

[@David-ln8qh]

Most of these are deliberately aiming to recreate, and sometimes embellish, the SNES version.

[@GodKitty677]

There is a massive library of Sega mega drive games on the xbox one. The fact that a system with half the bits (32x is 32bit, the 68000 is 16/32-bit instructions) is even competing is a testament to how well the mega drive creators did. See the logical issue here. These games look just like the mega drive versions or a little better. There was also the mega cd and PS1 versions of mickey mania. The mega CD version is better than the SNES version in almost every way. The mega CD version is close but worse than the PS1 version. PS1 version has better colours and some backgrounds look better. Other than that the mega CD and the PS1 versions are mostly the same game. The SNES version has less content, worse music and sound. Does the picture of the SNES now look as good? There were console out at the time that had better hardware than both the SNES and base mega drive. The 3DO 1993-1997 is an example. SNES 1990-2005. Mega Drive 1988-1997 (Sega)/1998-1999 (Majesco) The 3DO is getting a fan made version of Mortal Kombat, this is still in development and is near acrade perfect for graphics and sound. The Neo Geo's (AES) (April 26, 1990-April 22, 2004 first run) graphics and sound were largely superior to other contemporary home consoles, computers (such as the Sharp X68000) and even some arcade systems. This system was not as powerful as the 3DO. Ports are normally close to their originals but can have remastered graphics wise or have some added content. Mickey Mania on the PS 1 is remastered from the mega cd version and not the SNES version. The idea of a port is to be faithful to the original. So yes both the original and port should be close. Does this say anything about the older and newer hardware. Well it wont. PS1 was about 3D processing and the SNES 2D processing. PS 1 is a far better console hardware wise but if they redesigned the game, then it wouldnt be a port. It would be a different game. The difference can be seen in arcade ports. Here the developer is using the arcade as the original. Mortal Kombat 1, 2 and 3 are far better on later hardware.

[@beatlesleo]

no. the ps1 can handle 2d without effort , the snes cant

[@double-cheesemcqueeze6315]

I think part of it is just that alot of these cross-gen games were straight conversions. They weren't a case of SNES games aspiring to their PS1 counterparts. Just SNES spritework stretched for the PS1. Easier than redrawing it. When it gets down to 2D games built from the ground-up for PS1, like Symphony of the Night, Heart of Darkness, Alundra, Legend of Mana, Rayman, it's pretty clear that the PS1 is capable of far fancier spritework and animation and effects.

[@TheyCallMeSledge]

The SNES, my childhood console is my favorite Nintendo console (Although the Switch is coming pretty damn close). The fact that it could match up with some of the earlier titles in the PS1 library speaks to how impressive it is. Of course there were some games that the SNES had no business having (Doom and Street Fighter Alpha 2 for example) but the others were either at par or spot on. I didn't know there that many games back then considering that a good half of those on the list never left Japan. This definitely speaks for the immense potential the Super Nintendo truly had.

[@RetroComparisons]

The Genesis was my childhood console and I still love it to this day and even as a Sega kid I think the SNES is just as good if not better in some regards. Either way both of those consoles stand the test of time. Having Doom and Street Fighter Alpha 2 on the SNES is a pretty amazing feat even if they're not the best way to play the games. Those both seem like something you'd see come out this decade from the homebrew scene.

I'm on the same page. There was allegedly a time, where Nintendo was looking at outfitting the snes with a much more powerful CPU and associated hardware and going into the 3D realm with the SNES.

@@RetroComparisons I know it. That SNES was a superior piece of hardware and I think they were capable of doing so much more with it. I think it may have been similar to how PC's are upgraded and the market probably wasn't there for that with most consumers.

[@Fighter4Street]

I believe the reason SNES did well was the game developers would put a lot of time into making those games fun and a lot of money went into each game. Plus the games were 2d mostly, and focused on fun and control. When the later consoles came out, it seemed the games were just not as fun and as well developed.

[@yuppiecake9097]

I didn't realize that they shared so many games.

[@RetroComparisons]

Me neither. When I started putting the list together I was expecting like 40 games at most.

[@baronhausenpheffer]

I came here to say the exact same thing "Blackened HEart" and "8BitSnkBoy" did -- I'm a bit shocked by the amount of overlap! I expected this to be a five-minute video when I saw the title, not a solid hour. Then again, the 90s were such a crazy time for video gaming in terms of the speed of how fast the technology was improving. It made the life cycles for consoles as "top of the line" shockingly brief, with huge generational leaps in graphics happening ever 4 years or so that make the generation gaps today look meaningless by comparison. However, a user base is a user base, so often older consoles -- especially SNES, Genesis, and Game Boy -- got well-supported for years past what "last-gen" consoles typically do today. The time period of nearly 2 years between the launches of the Playstation and the N64 meant that the SNES, in particular, got Nintendo's full backing for a lot longer than most people remember as Nintendo continued to back an aging but still-impressive horse... because it was the best horse they had! Anyway, I'm not going to get into individual comparisons here, but I do have to give SNES developers kudos for doing some very impressive work. The fact that they could make games like "Street Fighter Alpha 2" and "Doom" work on SNES at all are a real testament to their skill with the hardware. There were clearly things PS1 could do that SNES could never attempt -- advanced polygonal games, especially -- but SNES fares so much better than Genesis would have on most of these comparisons that it does show the SNES hardware had some real hidden potential it only tapped into in its final years. Awesome achievement as a comparison video on your part!

[@RetroComparisons]

I was just as shocked as you with how many crossovers there were. As I was putting together the list for this I'd check out the Giantbomb page and think "oh my god, another one that is on the PS1!". As crazy as the 70s and 80s were with technology advances in the industry the 90s were a whole different level. While the TG-16 & Genesis were out in 1990 the NES was still the most commercially relevant and before the decade ended Shenmue was out so I guess in a way it's not too surprising with the volume of games on different generations but it's still interesting nonetheless. Street Fighter Alpha 2 & Doom are minor miracles that they ran on a 16 bit system with SFA2 in particular running quite well. After 5 years of doing this it still fascinates me to see what these consoles could handle especially when seeing stuff from their later years. Thanks as always my friend for your support! It truly means a lot to me.

[@EmuTested]

Nice ride down memory lane! What I can't believe is that developers sometimes use to make two completely different games for each platform but release under the same name. Not like today ports, these were completely different games in some cases.

To be fair, many of those ports were very cheaply made and not improved nor optimized at least. So on top of not using at all the power of the PSX, had the minus of the longer loading times of the CD format.

Cool vid, I've noticed a lot of them are pretty much identical where others some slight differences like Doom the walls look slightly more polished on PS1 being more powerful than SNES so that makes sense where MK 2 and SF2 are nearly the same, Samurai Shodown the sprites are larger on PS1 closer to the arcade port. Cool video. Big Hurt I noticed was one exception of the SNES version having bigger sprites of the batters over the PS1 version. Do you have a video like this doing SNES and Sega games side by side? That would be cool too!😃Those are interesting since a lot are nearly identical where others are different as well.

[@RetroComparisons]

Thank you so much buddy for checking this one out! I was surprised at how close a lot of these were as it's pretty much like comparing the Genesis to the Saturn which I though had a lot more differences than these two consoles did. The sprites on the fighting games like MK, SF & Samurai Shodown were a lot smaller on the SNES but are still good ports overall. Street Fighter Alpha 2 in particular is incredible that they got it to run on the SNES as is the same case with Doom. I do have a video with the SNES vs Genesis where the overall majority are very similar visually though the biggest difference is the audio. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5C4faGFj7BmpM0

For some reason the SNES runs games in an 8:7 aspect ratio so when they get presented in 4:3 like everyone experienced it in the 90s on CRTs (as well as how I present it on my channel) the sprites get stretched out.

[@MKF30]

@@RetroComparisons Yeah that's interesting regarding the ratios. Didnt know that. Pretty interesting oh I will be doing a breakdown of MK 1s gameplay haha so far I just have a reaction for thr firstvtrailer weeks ago but this game is looking more like mk 9 with one style and a plate of moves for each character instead of variations like the past 2 games where you were restricted to certain special moves per character depending on your style and mk 11 didn't have many combos but MK 1 has combos back again 😁

[@wingedhand2525]

This is an awesome video. But I have a suggestion. Maybe you should let one clip showcase the game and how it looks and sounds on one console and then letting the second video clip do the same on the rivaling console and then letting them play at the same time so we can really see and hear the differences between the two like a full experience.

[@RetroComparisons]

Thanks for the suggestion and for checking this video out! For these compilation videos I like having them side by side with the audio completely split. For a lot of these games though I have separate short videos where I do about 30 seconds of footage for each and then another 30 where they're side by side.

[@VashxShanks]

[@Alefjj]

The ps1's strength was never 2d, I dare say that some games looked better on the Snes, especially Chrono Trigger.

[@HE360]

This might sound crazy, but I've always thought that the PS1 was like a slightly more advanced CD-ROM based Super Nintendo with just more memory that which could pump out cutscenes and a bit more 3D effects. It's kind of why a lot of these games look almost the same on both systems. PS1 is what the Super Nintendo would have been like if it were CD-ROM based.

[@CarFlightGamesCFG]

O projeto do snes é de 1988, o playstation 1 um projeto de 1992/1993. Tirando a diferença de avanço de hardware, as limitações do SNES e do PS1, o Snes não faz nada feio em relação ao PS1 no 2D. No 3D não tem como. Com chips especiais o Snes fica próximo do PS1 no 2D apesar da enorme diferença de resolução entre os dois.

Not a lot has changed. I'm wondering if these games were first on the SNES and then were quick ports to the PS1 so they changed them as little as possible. The 16 bit JRPG style I like better than the 3D style JRPG that came about after the SNES and when a game was ported to the PS1 I was happy when little changed.

[@RetroComparisons]

I get the feeling that probably was the case for a lot of these where they started out as 16 bit games that got a 1 to 1 port to the PS1.

These were both using real hardware but with an ODE for the PS1 with a scart cable.

@@RetroComparisons A funny thing I'm reading about the Casper games is that the SNES version was developed by Absolute (the company that made A Boy and His Blob) and published by Natsume, but the SFC version was developed by Natsume and published by KSS. Kind of strange. The Gameboy version seems to be yet another game, published by Natsume and developed by Bonsai. Adding to the strangeness, the Gameboy Color version is a port of the 3do/Saturn/PSX version, rather than any of the versions previously on any Nintendo systems. The common info, like on Wikipedia, describes it as 2 games of the same name, but it looks more like 4 distinct games to me. I can't find any exact dates, but I'm guessing Universal started shopping around for contracts and signed off on the SNES, SFC and Gameboy versions before the 3do/Saturn/PSX/GBC version and that they ultimately felt the latter was going to be the better money maker. Probably only see this kind of thing with licensed movie tie-in games, since they're treated more like time sensitive merchandise, which is reflected in the splash screens, where it says MCA Universal Merchandising Inc.
