"Scorpion is NOT into butt stuff!" -Scorpion, 2016

[@tatevancleve1802]

I dont even need to watch the video. I remember something everyone else obviously forgot. Sega does what super Nintendo dont! So that means Sega obviously does butt stuff! Bam drops mic!

[@curtfehr]

I miss Greg on this channel, I hope he's doing alright. Hang in there man, hope to see you on KZbin again!

What happened to him?

[@ASeasonInSidewinder]

@@Haywood-Jablomie he quit the show as he was struggling with depression and was very open about it. I've barely watched since he left just so weird having a different guy.

[@greensun1334]

He has a short part in the "Justice League" episode (with a long beard)!

[@fierysmile2929]

That missing song at 13:22 isn't actually missing in the Genesis version. It's used as the character select screen theme, just down two octaves and shortened to a loop.

[@MrSober4now]

14:14. That’s funny. I was playing this game on Sega the other day and thought something was wrong because I didn’t hear the same sound effects I’m used to hearing on the Super Nintendo version.

[@kmaru80]

I'm not really a SNES fanboy, but this one was a no-contest

[@firestriker3580]

bee boo I have played every Nintendo system except for the color tv play 7

[@gozinta82]

@bee boo I wouldn't go as far as saying that Sega has 0 business making MK games on two levels. 1. They didn't make it. Probe was responsible for porting it. 2. The 32X version did everything the SNES version did and more. Also, the original MK on the genesis smashed the SNES version in sales in big part due to it being the only version that kept blood and full fatalities intact. I grew up with Nintendo products as a kid and had friends who had Sega Genesis's. I think both are good in their own regard; because Sega released the Genesis a few years before the SNES, and it's schedule was very different than all of the console manufacturers at the time. For what the Genesis lacked in tech, it made up for fairly well, and while it may not have been up to par with some SNES games, Sega's versions were still very impressive and had that "Sega" feel to it. Something that can't be translated today, you'd have to be alive during the time to understand what it meant because back then, consoles weren't just iterations of the same thing. They had entirely different video, sound and input setups in comparison to the cookie cutter layout that's been used since the SNES. Both are respectable as consoles at the time. Each had it's pros and cons.

[@tigerknee000]

The music that you guys said Sega is missing from the spike stage is used for the fighter select screen although the music is shortened and sounds a little different. The music that is missing on Sega is actually the original fighter select music.

[@ant-fan]

This is by far my favorite Console Wars yet, and one of my favorite videos I've seen on KZbin. Scorpion was hilarious.

[@AzatisS]

SNES had double the RAM of Genesis. That alone was one of the biggest factors why many ports had more details to show. If you add to that the color pallete most games had better color presentation as well. SNES was a beast.

[@AzatisS]

@Mariano González Would you prefer a way better color representation and more details to be shown on screen or faster processor ? SNES had better arcade ports for that reason. Check Mortal kombat, mortal komba 2 , street fighter 2 etc graphics

[@NinjaCacodemon_IsSus]

@@AzatisSTBH the 2x RAM is because the SNES came out in 1990 and Genesis in 1988 so Nintendo had 2 years to find out a way to improve the console

[@XX2Media]

@@NinjaCacodemon_IsSus incorrect. The SNES was designed to be an incomplete motherboard where the cartridges provided the extra RAM, graphics, and full integrated use of the Sony S-SMP sound chip on the system. This allowed the SNES to upgrade itself without having to buy hideous and overpriced add-ons. Regardless of the (very small) two year difference between the release dates, the Genesis was already obsolete when it came out because of an even older 16-bit system: the TurboGrafx-16, which was superior as well. Sega rushed the Genesis out to get a head start on Nintendo, which history has already proven was a massive mistake.

[@Robert-nu4vc]

​@@XX2MediaGenesis has a lot of games that are far better than any TG16 games. Obsolete my a$$.

[@Juiceair77]

For those who grew up when this came out we all knew what version was the best, SNES and it wasn't even close.

[@revengenerd1]

Snes was better but it was closer than you think, if the Sega version had the missing content in, and better colours it would be pretty much identical apart from personal taste, for me I played the 32x version the most which just really missed out some Shao Kahn samples and death animation.

[@ricki399]

it was very close and the sega cd version slams the snes version

Sorry, Sega fanboys the SNES version definitely blew the Genesis out of the water on this one. It simply was no contest.

[@worldofretrogameplay6963]

The SNES version of MK II wins, hands down.

[@frenchtoast4365]

32x is better

[@obeseing]

It's not a fair contest with the 32x and the Super Nintendo because the 32x is an add-on rather than its own console like the Super Nintendo I mean yeah the Sega Neptune did exist but that doesn't count because it never released.

[@mathewsoltan8487]

@@frenchtoast4365 Isn't that 32 bit though?

[@Yuzoboy]

The Genesis did the music better than the SNES because Matt Furniss is a God when it comes to using FM synth. SNES had a muffled sound which never stuck with me as much as the crisper twangy sound of the Genesis. It also has a much more menacing and evil feel to it.

[@ericp.]

Mortal Kombat II was a game changer back then. I remember some of my friends selling their Genesis after playing MKII on SNES.

[@BluesElwoo2]

Another great episode guys! Scorpion was pretty hilarious!

[@ConsoleWars]

It was originally going to be Reptile. I think we made the right choice in the end.

[@BluesElwoo2]

+Console Wars Hell yeah man! Reptile is cool, but Scorpion is from Hell, so he is way cooler and evil. That makes it funnier! Definately the best choice!

[@miketrav]

I’ll never forget pre-ordering this game in high school for my Sega Genesis and when I got it I thought it was broken. No character sounds or voices and the graphics just didn’t compare to my buddies super Nintendo version. There was no arguing Mortal Kombat two on the super Nintendo was far superb. At that moment I sold my Genesis to Funko land and bought a super Nintendo

Surprised you didn't touch on the colors, the awesome Shang Tsung glitches in the SNES version, as well as graphical capabilities of the SNES, such as the viscera staying onscreen, the win poses being fully animated on SNES. You also could have touched on more of the controls and how tight the games feel. Wasted that opportunity on cheats...but still pretty entertaining

[@thebipolarbear1]

Dan you guys are doing great man I'm glad you stick with it and keep making videos we all appreciate it this is a awesome video game channel. Criminally underrated you should be in the millions. Us sweet bros from jersey have that charisma lol

[@Drinkabeerandplayagameofficial]

Can't argue here, the SNES version blows the Genesis out of the water...though like make here I prefer the Genesis pad for fighting games. We came to many of the same conclusions when we went through the MK games. Great vid as always boys

[@Drinkabeerandplayagameofficial]

***** yup, never cared for shoulder buttons with a fighting game, not responsive enough imo

[@AllardRT]

Thankfully, there are now hacks to vastly improve the Genesis version: MK II Unlimited brings over a lot of the arcade presentation, with bios, vs screens, intro and outros along with playable bosses and a ton of other changes, a lot of which are optional, and there is a color hack to improve the graphics.

[@gozinta82]

Yeah, I can definitely say that playing the genesis versions of the MK games had their own feel, and if one was able to play it on the 6 button, it was really good for it's input speed. I had the SNES version and I was pretty used to the setup due to having SF II: Turbo, but it was still a slight more sluggish than the Genesis as far as input reaction if I remember correctly. Each one had their pros and cons :)

[@ajsingh4545]

Genesis controls on the 6 button are better. I pulled off the moves with ease.

[@dolladre70]

Console Wars Pitfighter

[@Rodzilla97]

yea, snes pit fighter is an abomination. no need to do the video, genesis wins that easy

[@PaulRizzo]

There’s absolutely no comparison. Probe did a horrendous job with this game on the Genesis. It’s unforgivably bad. Sculptured knocked it out of the park on SNES. Just absolutely crushed it!!

[@dem0n0maniac]

Soundtrack and sound effects should almost be separate categories though. Sega's music was almost always better, but Nintendo was great with voice overs and effects

[@bmac2814]

Ask them which company is still making consoles and which one is asking for kickstarters to fund new games and letting fans release their own fan made games......the latter, I'd assume is a company that's damn near broke in comparison to the other....

That's the only console they have over there till this day

[@ConsoleWars]

Everyone keeps bringing up the 32X version. Looks like I gotta play that version.

[@CulinaryJoey]

Console Wars do 32x MK 2 vs defending champion SNES MK 2 👏?

[@Nicksolo85]

It is worth it (but Super Nintendo is still better in my opinion) & actually buying the Sega 32X was worth it, primarily for the game. There are a few improvements over Sega Genesis, but not a whole lot (especially music wise). I do also have Sega CD (which like Sega 32X wasn't cheap & had to be ordered online) which has it's own version of Mortal Kombat 1 that's even bloodier than even the original Arcade game.

Men I surery prefer control over graphics... Genesis d-pad it's the real deal, this two only focus on sound and colours, I like them, I want them to be friends of mine even, but I cannot understand the major part of their veredicts... Sry 4 my english btw.

[@AkumaTh]

Imakaze First, Sega's controller is normally a 3 button layout. No matter how you feel about the D-Pad, that is going to be a factor. With it being default even if you have a 6 button made playing the game perfectly tedious to do each time you turn it on. Add to that a game mode that can increase playing time, SNES was the superior version.

[@dede9806]

Imakaze Play Streetfighter 2 on Genesis and do about 30 fireballs. Now, how does your thumb hurts ? No problem with Snes soft d-pad. I played Killer Instinct for countless hours without any pain.

I noticed that as well and it appears more that Probe was lazy as opposed to what could have been done with the 32x and Genesis versions. Good evidence of that is when Sculptured software took on making both the Genesis and Snes versions.

@bee boo When there is money to be made, they will go after it. That is why there are gameboy and gamegear versions of these fighting games. You're probably right, if the hardware isn't good enough, don't try.

[@ajsingh4545]

They only restored barakas win animations.

[@Aeon2Flux]

PROBE blew it 3 times if you ever played the Saturn Version. The graphics were close to arcade Perfect.The game was still missing round and Character announcements believe it or not..I was thankful Sculptured took over for Genesis for part 3 which was more acurate to arcade on Genesis. Probe almost would get a pass for making Alien 3 on gen,and Die Hard Trilogy. I still really hate that they were so lackluster doing the genesis MK games and then with 2 more console failed attempts for part II after the genesis. It s inexcusable ..

[@capngeeoff]

I played both versions of this game extensively back in the day and they are pretty much the same. That 4-on-4 elimination mode on SNES is hella fun though!

[@gozinta82]

Agreed, i think each one has it's charm to it. Both are very fun and when everyone was growing up at that time, most people didn't care because they were still playing MKII.

[@Arise12Tribes]

Def wasn't the same, the SNES version was much more like the Arcade version... Music, sound effects, graphics, no comparison my friend

[@kenterminateddq5311]

Console Wars, are u guys gonna produce a comparison video of Mortal Kombat 3 or it's the same similaries for MK II???

[@80s_Gamr]

At that point the PlayStation was out and MK3 played pretty much spot on to the arcade whereas the SN, while being a good port, had trouble with things like multiple floors on levels - the arcade and PSX scrolled between them but on SN they had to fade to black and then fade into the next floor as a whole new screen as it just couldn't do it. The Genesis version doesn't hold a candle to the SN version IMO... but to not include PSX at that point would be har5d to do and it was so much better there's really nothing to compare.

[@Sinn0100]

Mortal Kombat 3 for the Genesis is the only Mortal Kombat done right. It looks, plays, and sounds far better on the Genesis. You can see the Genesis doing what it was made for.

[@subzero8679]

@@Sinn0100 not really. MK 2 on Genesis is a great port. Yeah it's missing some voices and the Character select screen could look a little better, but it plays really well. The controls are spot on, most sound effects sound better than the SNES version,(Baraka's chopping blades for one example), and the Genesis version's music is just awesome and creepy in It's own right. The animations are great on Genesis too. They got it right for that game as well. MK 1 wasn't perfect but it still controlled well and had the original blood and fatalities at least. SNES MK1 is a sick joke.

[@miamimagicians]

Mortal Kombat two and three both on the super Nintendo and Sega Genesis are fantastic games

[@corey2232]

@@80s_Gamr They should do *ULTIMATE* Mortal Kombat 3 on the SNES & Genesis. MK 3 by itself was a weak game in comparison, and the SNES & Genesis versions both had additional content not in the Saturn & Arcade versions that made them stand out.
