[@birdfanboi]

@@miamimagicians I like them to be honest, although HARD AF, especially the Genesis port which is superior to the SNES port, although I personally prefer the SNES techno soundtrack over the hard rock genesis version.

[@Chr1551]

@@birdfanboi I used to love the Genesis one when i was a kid. I was surprised when I grew up and looked it up on youtube and all these people were saying the game sucks. Not as good as X-men 2: Clone Wars sure but I don't think it sucks. I guess the controls weren't the best looking back. You don't really think about that as a kid. Presentation & music were great!, & decent graphics. By contrast, even as a kid I knew Batman Forever sucked when I rented it. So maybe Wolverine Adamantium Rage isn't quite bad enough to qualify.

[@birdfanboi]

Chr1551 I get what you’re coming from. A lot of things I loved as a kid that people say are bad like Superman 4, which I still like to this day, and X3 the last stand are very unpopular but regardless I still like those films. I even like Shaq Fu on the genesis despite how bad people say it is

[@PimpUigi]

If they do Adamantium Rage it really should not be a which game is worse episode, just because the ropes are hard to learn, doesn't mean the game is bad. Chr1551 is right, the Sega version is actually a good game. I could speedrun it for the Console Wars guys if they want, I wrote a guide for it. Bram Stoker's Dracula should not have been "which is worse?" either. That game is good on both systems, just, better on the Sega Genesis.

[@thevoivod]

Easy win (or loss, depending how you look at it) on this one! I actually like the digitized graphics in this game, but oof, the Genesis team tried with dithering the graphics to compensate, but the limitations with the Genesis palette was REALLY apparent here. And it's not as if MK didn't do it better, earlier. I don't GENERALLY mind the limitations as it can really bring the best out of the graphics team for games... But it can also bring out the worst (/laziest). Aaah... Genesis and that sweet text love. Tim and Geoff Follin weren't very inspired with this game but their music in general (especially Tim's) is fantastic, so they get a pass. To be honest I'd phone it in too with Batman Forever. I knew the SNES de...crunching, decoding, or decompressing the levels would make an appearance here, hah. Worse than Mickey Mouse, shirley. And that no doubt was a major factor for the overall loss. Once again... Nicole Kidman was hot as balls in this movie and on the poster. Just worth saying. Great video as always, guys. I hope more people jump on board the Patreon train. Choo-choo?

[@ConsoleWars]

Glad you enjoyed it! And yes, Choo-choo!

[@firestriker3580]

@@firestriker3580 Mickey Mouse games like Mickey Mania is better on the Genesis and also World Of Illusion graphics for me looks great than the Magical Quest instead.

[@miesvaillanykyisyytta3252]

@@El_Raton_Small It seems to me that Mickey Mania on the SNES has better colours. What these guys did not bring up in their Mickey Mania video is that Mickey Mania is also available for Sega CD and that version arguably is better than the SNES as Sega CD is marginally more powerful than the SNES even though some Sega CD ports are still inferior to SNES (MKII comes to mind). So it's safe to say that Sega has a better Mickey Mania but not necessarily Genesis.
