Console Wars - Prince of Persia - Super Nintendo vs Sega Genesis

[@SNESdrunk]

I don't know how you guys think of these set-ups before getting into the game but they're always great The lack of music on Genesis just kills it, that's a deal-breaker

[@camulodunon]

The Domark PAL version actually had in-game music, although it wasn't that great. I kinda wanna do a hack of the Tengen with this music: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpmWmpaiZ8ueqbc

[@robbiewalker2831]

The ending to the video could possibly be a reference to Jaffar’s return in the sequel, where upon being defeated in the first game, he ends up reincarnating himself to become the Prince’s doppelgänger.

[@bulbx1273]

Because you did not play the original on apple. The silence make the ambiance. I prefer the Gen version but i understand you prefer snes.

[@RetroCabeza]

Prince of Persia Super Famicom cover art is stunning

[@baalfgames5318]

SNES: Made by Konami. Genesis: Made by Tengen. The match was practically decided right at the start.

[@oscarzxn4067]

It was only published by Konami

[@mjorge0alves]

As @@oscarzxn4067 said, it was developed by Broderbund. Konami had only published it

[@oscarzxn4067]

@@mjorge0alves Those were the developers of the original game, the SNES version with all it's new stuff was made by Arsys Software with NCS Masaya

[@mjorge0alves]

You are mostly right,@@oscarzxn4067. The SNES version was developed by Arsys, yes. But the original game was developed by Mechner alone, but produced and published by Broderbund.

[@nikeneon3188]

Fukonami.... Oh wait, wait that was released when they were good

[@crashicbrosx]

did you see the butt? -Sega

[@SandroSensei]

You should check the Euopean (PAL) box art. It destroy's both of these two.

[@kainu.9005]

*The Japanese one.

[@chuckobscure]

Another fine episode, fellas! I really like the idea of covering box art in the presentation. Let's hope the $10 and up patreons vote for NES vs Master System!

[@rael_gc]

Maybe at least one episode, with the parents presenting!

[@ConsoleWars]

Thanks. And I think you're gonna be happy.

[@chuckobscure]

Holy crap, I finally got the hint, lol. NINJA GAIDEN! Should be epic!!

[@robbiewalker2831]

@@ConsoleWars What I find funny is that since Jaffar died in the original game, he took the form of Prince Dastan (the Title character of the series) in Prince of Persia 2, which is what you're referencing at the end of the video; probably unintentional, but it's a nice touch.

[@doriphor]

You guys should do Flashback! It should be a really interesting episode!

[@SNARC15]

Agree, though I think it might be an easy Genesis win.

I second this. It's a really good game too.

[@SNARC15]

Brent Lee I actually favor it over Another World/Out of this World

[@BenjiMordino]

You fellers just get better and better! And those intros get more tenuous, I love it.

[@ConsoleWars]

Thanks!

[@jamesytez6639]

Wow, first megadrive reference. Good job, guys

[@rael_gc]

It has a Sega CD version too. Probably a good candidate for the What's the Difference series (Genesis vs Sega CD).

[@ConsoleWars]

Already on it!

[@SNARC15]

That voice acting though....if you can call it that.

[@ConsoleWars]

I can't wait.

[@Furluge]

Subscribed!

[@FigureFarter]

As well as Earthworm Jim

[@RetroJonesy]

Awesome episode, this is one of my favourite SNES games. So glad you did this. Also thanks so much for showing my comment, I totally forgot I posted this, was a great surprise. Made my day :-D

[@ConsoleWars]

Thanks for requesting it!

[@itchyisvegeta]

Hoping to see Earthworm Jim 2 and Mortal Kombat 3. So many great games to compare!

[@FuriousTH]

Heyyy I hope that too! IMO Mortal Kombat 2 is technically a tie but there's something that makes the Genesis version kinda better idk, in the case of Earthworm Jim 2 I definitely prefer the SNES version, is more complete for me

[@itchyisvegeta]

FuriousTH A tie? No way. Both where huge upgrades compared to the previous game on the same system, but the SNES version was easilly better overall. Now the 32x version, that's a tie with the SNES version. Both are masterpiece ports!

[@FuriousTH]

+ITCHYisVegeta I mean tie comparing the ports lmao And yeah, MK3 is a huge improvement over MK2

[@itchyisvegeta]

FuriousTH Yeah. Every sequel on their respective system was an improvement to the previous.... except Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. 16 bit versions of those games were garbage. I refuse to own them.

[@jamesmcfedries538]

ITCHYisVegeta I wouldn't mind mortal kombat 3, but I'd prefer ultimate 3

[@TheSuperPlayer707]

18:55 - Jaffar: enough with this! You two capture the princess and bring her to me - Greg: and why we say no? - Jaffar: then I make you do it - Greg: knive! Knive! He got a knive! - Dan: it's just a knive, we can take him - Jaffar: how's about... NOW! - Dan: ok, yes two knives, I do not see that coming Lol the best part hahaha

[@ConsoleWars]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@TheSuperPlayer707]

Console Wars of course! I love your humor

[@starlightrevenant]

I remember the SNES version because of the training mode. also the music of the SNES version can be found in of Arsys's soundtrack CDs. Also in my opinion the best version of the classic Prince of Persia is the remake called Prince of Persia Classic.

[@jamergamer0076]

Finally A new episode! You don't realize what it's like not having a great new console wars episode sitting in my inbox. I was dying there. Anyway, loved the episode! You guys always make me excited about games I for some reason thought were boring back in the day. Keep up the great work!

[@ConsoleWars]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@Trialwolf]

Great job guys, you really went above and beyond with this one with the Mega Drive comparisons.

[@ConsoleWars]

Thanks!

[@FloofPuppy]

Great episode once again. X3 Also at 7:18, the doggo is the true star of the show now. No questions asked. XD

[@ConsoleWars]

Yeah, she usually just lays around but got a sweet shot of her yawning. Her name is Kipper.

[@FloofPuppy]

Cute name. X3

[@t-GiG]

Yay Kipper and new pup! Agreed, another fantastic episode on the books

[@nelots5989]

I was already happy with going on vacation tomorrow and now a new episode of Console Wars. The day just got even better. Continue the good work guys. ! :D

[@ConsoleWars]

Awesome! have a good vacation!

[@TheSilentTyphoon]

Man, there was clearly no contest with this game. I’m glad the Babes in Sega song returned. Your editing is very much improved! Can’t wait for the next episode!

[@ConsoleWars]

Thank you so much!

[@LordSephleon]

Prince of Persia (on the SNES, mind you) is the reason I got into all cinematic platformers like Another World, Flashback, and Blackthorne. Such great games! :)

[@NostalgicShadow]

I was waiting for this episode for a long time. Thanks guys!!

[@ConsoleWars]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@NostalgicShadow]

Console Wars A lot! 👍

[@fatangrygeek5746]

I was looking through all your videos on the Playlist and found this gem. This was very interesting, I enjoyed it.

[@tonk82]

SNES boxart in japan though... one of the best covers ever.

[@ConsoleWars]

Just looked it up. Looks pretty cool.

[@LostScene]

You can't go wrong with Katsuya Terada, the artist who drew that cover.

[@tonk82]

LostScene so true...

[@earlduran6419]

the PAL version has better box art

[@tonk82]

[@D.Rodri.]

There is no sound in the Sega Genesis version?! Something tells me that someone got fired because of that xD And damn, never played the Super Nintendo version and now this makes me want to try it. It's like a different new and cool game!

[@ConsoleWars]

The SNES game is really good. Def give it a shot!

[@Dorian_Scott]

It's *WEIRD* how the PAL version of the Genesis game has sound when you actually play the game, and also has 4 more levels...but the North American Genesis game doesn't! It just makes no sense!

[@ozzydio7233]

finished the snes version last year and it was a blast.

[@kenaustin3472]

The original game also lacked sound.

[@kenterminateddq5311]

No sound for the Genesis version??? That's like there's no fatalities on a SNES version of Mortal Kombat (oops, I mean no finishing moves for the SNES version).

Genesis version all day. Higher resolution, tighter controls, better music.

I would like earthworm Jim 2, but I'm also waiting for either mortal kombat 3 or preferably ultimate 3

[@humbertoquackenbush3932]

Can you do Monopoly for SNES and Sega Genesis? Those games are even more similar to each other than the Earthworm Jim games! (Also do Earthworm Jim 2)

[@nobel11]

That's a good idea!

[@AlphaladZXA]

Did it as of now

Yeah, it looks cool.

Watched this on Patreon the other day but watched it again this morning, Loved it. Also like Aces little cameo haha. I had prince of Persia and still do on the MegaCD/SegaCD, great game. After this vid i noticed that its a mix of both the Snes and Genesis version. It has the look of the genesis yet has the menu and bosses of the snes and ofcourse that snazzy segaCD music. Great game, great vid guy ;)

The added music thing is actually what i really enjoyed about another world on megadrive. The remastered one was great but i miss the music i know it wasn't originally there (same with original prince of persia) but like the snes pop it just added a whole lot more. On that (wait not sure) if another world/out of this world is also on snes too as megadrive (also sparkster megadrive/genesis vs snes).

[@mariehassett247]

Later. Prince of persia was made by ubisoft ( a.k.a the same ones they made rayman. Assassin creed. Splinter cell. Farcry. And also raving rabbids )

[@ConsoleWars]

Thanks again for the donations dude!

[@WR3ND]

Nice one, guys. Glad I got this for the SNES now, even considering how many ports there are.

[@jokuemt]

The reason for genesis and mega drive differences is because mega drive version was released later, and because of that they had more time to add, change or fix stuff. This is somewhat common in European versions(and re-releases like for example ps1 platinum/greatest hits versions, spyro 3 on ps1 being one notable example). They probably were planning to have music and whatnot in genesis version, but didn't have time to implement it in before the deadline, but since the MD version came out later, they added them in.

[@residentelect]

Hilarious and informative as ever, guys 👍Particularly liked how the box art got a mention in this vid, as it was a massive draw when browsing for games as a kid. I still think Sunset Riders had THE best box art for any SNES/Megadrive title!

[@AzumiRM]

criminally underrated channel. Subbed! By the way I liked the Amiga version graphics more than the console version. Sometimes simple is better than complex.

[@thingsiplay]

Its always oddly satisfying if Dan says "Are we doing this?". Great sketches, humor and entertaining. The comparison itself with all the details is also always fun to watch. Really miss those videos from you guys.

[@Lee_bird]

great episode! despite owning a genesis back when and being a big fan of the original game, had no idea PoP was brought to the Genesis. very cool I grew up playing this on MS-DOS - and we didn’t have a sound card, so I was left with just the bleeps and blips of the PC speaker. to me, any kind of bg music just doesn’t fit! same with Wolfenstien 3D and Commander Keen. i’m not even sure what their soundtracks sound like! haha. aaaaand now I feel old. 👴🏻

8:04 - In Sega's box-art, the Prince is a white blonde, while the guard being killed is Persian. LOL! Trust me when I tell you this, lack of sound brings a level of spookiness and tension for the player. Soundtrack is good for people watching, but the lack of it actually makes it scarier for the player, at least in this game.

[@ThisSpy]

You know, I am surprised that you didn't cover presentation in European Mega Drive version of the game, since its cutscenes there actually move.

[@rikustorm13]

Ayy a new episode, tbh I missed this series

[@MANOFBLADE]

Including the art cover along with the presentation was a new and smart move guys. I like it 👍

[@stucazzo2000]

In the grand scheme of things, I don't think the cover presentation should decide which version wins though. It has no effect on the game itself or it's gameplay.

[@MANOFBLADE]

Guy you're right it doesn't. I mean we know even perfect presentation doesn't make perfect gameplay, which is the most important aspect on any game. But art cover is really something nice that should be mentioned from time to time. They did this in Alladdin episode. It's a nice touch

[@braselthegamer]

There are a satisfying number of dogs in this video.

[@ConsoleWars]

Hopefully I can have them cameo in every episode.

[@EvanLefavor]

I like that you are taking box art into consideration for presentation. Good episode guys! Now that we have a Rampage movie in theaters, do you think it would be time to do the first 8 bit Console Wars episode and put Rampage on NES against Rampage on Sega Master System?

[@anonamatron]

Evan Lefavor Dude, as the father of Jesus don't you know the answer to these questions?

[@Adamsnadler214]

They could do back to the future on snes vs sega, then do master system vs nes, then go to the future and do Saturn vs n64
