Console Wars - Home Alone - Super Nintendo vs Sega Genesis

[@spiritofthersites7578]

I loved the Sega Home Alone game when I was a kid. It seemed innovative and I like how it actually allowed you to engage in home defense and make customized weapons. The game has an element of exploration, requires some strategy, and always presents a reasonable challenge.

[@BladeBlur]

I may be home alone on Christmas Eve, but I got Console Wars to keep me company. Happy Holidays :)

[@ConsoleWars]

+BladeBlurX Happy Holidays dude!

[@soldier91]

BladeBlur This is how I discovered your channel. Now get that shiny stakataka.

[@subzero8679]

Beware the South Bend shovel slayer.

[@ericmsandoval]

I absolutely love the Home Alone game for the Genesis. I mean seriously, it was one of the first games where you could build/customize your own weapons! The music is super catchy and the goal of the game is unique and pays homage to the movie. I’m sure nostalgia plays a role in my opinion, but I definitely don’t think it’s a bad game by any means.

[@Cytron1515]

For the Sega version, defending and protecting multiple houses from burglers... that actually sounds like a perfect story for a Home Alone sequel.

[@devlyin]

It's called home alone 3

[@AltimaNEO]

2 home 2 alone

[@Chubzdoomer]

The Genesis version is actually pretty damn good, and very unique for its time. It's still hard for me to believe that it has a full-fledged crafting system. How many other games on SNES/Genesis had that!?

[@ericmsandoval]

Exactly

[@WR3ND]

Crrraaaaaffftiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnng. Well that sure took a turn for the worst.

[@timdonovan8427]

What a load of wank

[@jhock9171]

Agreed. The Genesis has the only good Home Alone game.

[@FoxerTails]

3:11 "Eat brick." *hits himself* XD That was perfect!

[@ThomasWilliams-md9vc]

LOL! 🤣

[@YouOpaOpa]

Home Alone for the Mega Drive is awesome. The weapon crafting system is actually pretty cool.

[@24yrukdesigner]

Home Alone Mega drive is one of my favs. Music is something I even have in a playlist, and the gameplay is so unique. The snes version was shockingly bad though.

[@user-uv7ig7vl2s]

Home Alone on the Sega Genesis is a great game. A couple of years ago I bought it for 2 bucks and decided to try it just to see if it would play. I turned it on and planned to play for maybe 5 minutes and I found myself playing the entire night and beating the game on every difficulty. I love this game. And the sound is kickass. That Weird Science tune actually fits the game.

[@imyanigmw]

lmao @ the hurricane kick sound effect for Kevin putting stuff in the safe

[@parrydox.gaming]

I don't get how you guys don't have more views. Better than most gaming videos.

[@ConsoleWars]

+Parrydox Gaming Thanks!

[@gamesurvivor3129]

+Console Wars Greg can you do Mortal Kombat 2 for the Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis thanks buddy you're awesome

[@PetaHatingChris42]

I always liked the Genesis version. It could be frustrating at times, but it captured the spirit of the movie pretty well.

[@ConsoleWars]

+Chris C. Never played it before but it was actually fun to play.

[@mahlazer]

I always w8 for a new videos from you guys, i dunno why but i found all those awkward and stiff acting extremely hilarious, especially on your early videos XD Your channel definitely need more views, somehow i found it more entertaining than many larger game reviewers channel i've ever watched, i'm serious.

[@ConsoleWars]

+mahlazer Thanks you so much! Glad you enjoy our attempt at acting.

[@patrickfeay7721]

+Console Wars would you guys be interested in some PAL exclusive megadrive games such as Donald in maui mallard, Micro machines 96, Cannon Fodder, Captain Planet e.t.c.? they work on a US system because the Genesis/Megadrive is not region locked. I live in UK and Megadrive games are quite easy to get a hold of wish SNES stuff was as easy xD

[@patrickfeay7721]

I hated both versions of street racer, it actually has a lot of differences between both versions I don't think it was EU exclusive tho, may send copies to Dan and Greg to review if that's the case.

[@ConsoleWars]

+Patrick Feay Sure. We're glad to take games from any region.

[@patrickfeay7721]

kool i'll be heading to some retro game stores round the UK come the start of this year. I figure seeing as you guys love old cartoons, you'd be up for reviewing Smurfs games ^^.

[@borgie83]

Seriously love going back and watching through your old videos. I’m at work and people just keep looking at me while I’m laughing to myself hahaha 🤣

[@ConsoleWars]

Awesome!

[@blackmagicfan3431]

I was starting to think Christmas specials were out of style this year. Thanks for another excellent video guys, it made my day!

[@ConsoleWars]

+BLACKMAGICFAN Glad you enjoyed it!

[@yabukiman4273]

Gotta love how in these cases, the guys argue about which game is worse. Adds variety and good humor. :)

[@miahthorpatrick1013]

That opening skit was so darn funny! Still a great episode after all these years!

[@Nicksolo85]

It's Christmas Eve, so I am gonna try to make time for Home Alone & Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (the only 2 Home Alone movies I'll acknowledge). Awesome job on the video (I liked the unique which is worse competition for this 1) & Merry Christmas!

[@ConsoleWars]

+Nicksolo85 Thanks! Merry Christmas.

[@frogmin2439]

Mario Paint and Wacky Worlds Creativity Studio. Calling it now.

[@eaglescoutbryan1740]

Mario paint would win. And I'm a sega fan..

[@MickyVideo]

Nnnnno... I mean, they both are 2 very different games.

[@jimmyeddy]

I could tell you without even watching: SEGA is way better, but I'll watch anyway because you guys are awesome. Merry Christmas Console Wars! Thanks for all the great vids this year.

[@ConsoleWars]

+Aliens Studios Thanks for watching dude.

[@stoneygamer2094]

I like your guys channel but you really think the genesis version is bad c'mon now dan your a sega guy how do you really think this game is worse than both the Nintendo versions especially home alone 2

[@Xanatos21]

The 10 people who disliked this were beaten to a pulp by the creepy neighbor with a shovel.

[@craigjohnson9343]

Bruh the paint can And brick thing when y'all confronted the burger is epic I can't stop laughing

[@supernintendosp]

The robber skit you put on made me laugh like mad. Well played!

[@muhanc.a.9299]

(Sega) Dan's favorite game Vs (Nes) Greg's favorite game = A showdown I'd like to see.

[@ConsoleWars]

That would be interesting, but that might have to be a side episode or something.

[@91Coolepinguin]

Console Wars that really sounds interesting Love your content by the way

[@HorrorMetal]

Haha I love how whenever you guys compare a bad game, Dan basically becomes the Nintendo guy and Greg/Pat is for Sega.

[@L0L247]

Awesome vid guys like always. This game brings back lots of memories.

[@FloofPuppy]

My family actually likes that Willow movie and the Home Alone movies too. 1,2, and partially 3. Keep up the good work and merry christmas!!

[@ConsoleWars]

+TheDefectiveTurret I love Willow. That's why I picked it for that scene. Merry Christmas to you too!

[@FloofPuppy]

Console Wars =)

[@ascott7321]

I used to love playing Home Alone on Sega Megadrive. I didn't even know it existed on the SNES until now.

[@wrathovgod5099]

both systems had some real stinkers... but the Genesis version had potential, there is no redeeming qualities on the SNES game.

[@y2j420]

At 18:35 there is a y2j420 namedrop!!! And it gives the premise of role reversal too! So meta!

[@Grimages]

Just watched it yesterday (Festivus). Great timing. Nice job, dudes! Ha, the next one is pretty telegraphed since y'all did those mail calls. Looking forward to it, anyway!

[@ConsoleWars]

+Grimages I have yet to celebrate my airing of grievances.

[@AceRidley406]

5:30 Ryu has that move

[@MrCapRoach]

dudes, that was an awesome episode like alwas,stay that awesome, bros, still waiting for: earthworm jim 2 rock'n'roll racing

[@mannysothergamingworld29]

Is it me, or for the SNES, The first cutscene is the only good cutscene?

[@PowerR23]

Genesis version is flawed. But I love the genesis version. Cuz it plays just like the movie.

[@Spitta504TV]

OMG im crying laughing at 6:30.... They knew.... Nobody in thier right mind would finish that shit XD LMAO

[@RondoOfBloodX]

While Home Alone on Genesis IS the better game I have fond memories of the SNES version.

[@justanotheryoutubechannel]

Man that shovel-guy seems really nice. He saved you from the robber and took care of him!

[@rickmartinez3268]

Can you please review The Adventures of Tintin both on Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo? Also I'm getting awfully tired of rewatching these so many times

[@sonicmario64]

The part with the snow shovel guy beating the robber to a pulp kinda reminds me of Peter Griffin's portrayal of the lumberjack in the fairy-tale themed episode of "Family Guy". XD

[@CaptainMauser]

Sega Wins as usual. Even when comparing Fiats against each other...

[@TheMamaluigi300]

I will say, the sound design in these episodes are great. You can hear and understand the characters in the episode

[@adammaddox2383]

Snes home alone, super ghost and goblins, and super Mario World are the first games I ever got for my 4th bday. It took me over 20 years to beat this freaking game.

[@thejoe_snotbombsskateboarding]

Another AWESOME job! Great Work guys!

[@thejoe_snotbombsskateboarding]

AWESOME how you switched it up in this one. This channel is Great! I truly appreciate the hard work!

[@bryanrizzo9377]

Genesis version of Home Alone is definitely better. They did a lazy job with snes version. Nothing is relatable to the film when it comes to gameplay and the only think I like about the snes version are the cutscenes from the movie with Kevin with the BB gun say YES! There's also one with Kevin hugging his mom at the end. Eventhough the Genesis version has no cutscenes from the film it's still better and things are recognizable.

[@flashg643]

man, i love the genesis Home Alone game

[@TyroneThrone]

This one was funny as hell keep up the good work!

[@ConsoleWars]

+ShadowManABC123 Thanks!

[@AirknightTails]

9:15 I know that it doesn’t fit with the theme of the movie. But that sounds pretty good

[@chicagofun4]

Sparkster Snes VS Genesis. make it happen.

[@chicagofun4]

+OmegaJackRed666 yep

[@abysmalvsmarcus]

I lost my shit watching Kevin throwing shit in the safe!!!! lmfao!!

[@crashicbrosx]

snes' version should call: Boo the haunted house

[@visoredgruntR34]

Perfect timing a Christmas based movie game for Christmas!

[@AriaKyuKyu]

Is gonna be Mario Paint vs Sega Art game, isn't it? That would be awesome! Awesome video and Merry Christmas

[@ConsoleWars]

+Johnauditore Merry Christmas!

[@kinorai]

Bouncing brick??? Now that's inconvenient!! great job guys!!! merry Christmas!!!

[@ConsoleWars]

+kinorai Thanks! Have a Merry Christmas!

[@SameNameDifferentGame]

Well done, guys. I didn't realize the Home Alone games were so different. I assumed they were all ports of the NES game.

[@ConsoleWars]

+On the Stick Yeah. I never played them before, but I have played Home Alone 2 so I thought they'd both play like that. Pleasantly surprised.

[@kornyhags79]

Great work guys, made my Christmas eve!!

[@ConsoleWars]

+kornyhags79 Glad you enjoyed it!

[@dennistaylor9495]

Just in time for the Movie's 25th Anniversary.

[@IAmJeebus]

The genesis game traumatized me as a kid. My dentist had one of those genesis demos in their office that would scroll through games... this game was on it. I was a dumb kid, so I always got caught immediately, and I remembered it scared the hell out of me as a kid.

[@raeglinlegrand3502]

Guys make a Mega Turrican/Super Turrican Video so we can see which version is the best. I like your channel, keep up the good work

[@Maru96]

Wow, they are really different, the Genesis version almost looks like a decent game. I remember playing the SNES game as a kid, just terrible.

[@scottbailey7715]

Your videos are so hilarious to watch. I was nearly crying when I saw how terrible Nintendo's graphics and cut scenes was. It made the SEGA game look polished in comparison lol. I always look forward to new episodes :)

[@Ostnizdasht206]

3:11 had me rollin LOL

[@KaskelotenZebbe]

Great job! Ending was hilarious! Merry X-mas!

[@ConsoleWars]

+Zebbe Yeah, wasn't sure how to end it at first, but murder always seems like a good way to end a Christmas episode. Merry Xmas!

[@lilbearbjj]

I use to play the sega game all the time as a kid. I like it.

[@JoinTheVoidOfEnuo]

Jurassic Park II: The Chaos Continues vs. Jurassic Park: Rampage Edition?

[@kevinconley5076]

You gave us an episode for Christmas! What a wonderful gift. I really love the show, keep it up. Merry Christmas! how long till a Maximum Carnage episode?

[@ConsoleWars]

+Kevin Conley Not sure when we're gonna do that. Merry Christmas.

[@erainmartinez8175]

I love the Jungle Book that cartoon stan Idle from south park Christuserloeser said

[@rvcklvss]

Hahaha love how you guys flipped the script in this vid. Brilliant ;)

[@ConsoleWars]

+RVCKLVSS Thank You!

[@Christdeliverme]

HA for Genesis was great!!!

[@Gizzardthehappycat]

Saturday Night Slammasters! You guys would have a lot of fun doing this great game. Both console versions have pluses and minuses, for lots of sweaty brawling arguing.

[@MrCapRoach]

knights of the round vs golden axe 1/2/3/all ?

[@goncalotordo4507]

Awesome episode. I hope you'll do Fatal Fury 2 and Valis 3 vs Super Valis some day :)

[@ConsoleWars]

+Gonçalo Tordo Thanks! Maybe one day.

[@xalexandre2666]

+Console Wars They could also make Super turrican vs genesis turrican. Here in Brazil is already christmas, I do not know if there already is in the USA too, but still a happy christmas to you ^^

[@BladeBlur]

+Console Wars I'd join in to talk about the Turbo grafx versions ;)

[@wrestletube1]

+ALEXANDRE D. WITT It would be interesting to say the least to see Turrican III - The Final Fight Vs Turrican IV aka Mega Turrican Vs Super Turrican in action. But then it would make more sence to do AMIGA Vs SEGA on Turrican III but they don't have an AMIGA to use that in the Console Wars because they are based in america which the AMIGA was sold at silly prices in plus most of the games doesn't work in NTSC because they are made for PAL although on the 1200s there was a fix because you could run your machine in either region mode. Still III Vs IV would be fun too so I agree with that war.

[@matthewspaltro7142]

The sega genesis console is so very underrated.

[@matthewspaltro7142]

@Anthony Cook Alright!!

[@stoneygamer2094]

Right sega made the best home alone game these guys and everyone else that thinks its bad must be on crack lmfao 🤣 🤣🤣🤣

[@matthewspaltro7142]

[@JahElOfYHWH]

Watch the playlist almost nightly. Y’all rock. I like the Sega version better. But you know you have gold when I watch religiously 😂 Even years later I’m still going to bed n rising with this awesomeness. Cheers guys

Yeah the Super Nintendo one is definitely worse, I remember one Christmas I had the Super Nintendo version and my cousin had the Sega Genesis one, and I much preferred the Genesis version!.

Please do Killer Instinct on the Super Nintendo vs Eternal Champions for the Sega Genesis.

The music in SNES is the same as the Game Boy. I loved the Game Boy versions. SNES versions seem a little overdone but still catchy.

[@intel386DX]

The end is hilarious :D LoL

[@devinand1fosho]

was the music during each award a remix of UN. squadron?

[@Looneytune2]

Dude, I love the Genesis game!!! I agree that Super Nintendo totally sucks. But also the Sega game was the first game to have a weapon building engine, while Super Nintendo basically rehashed another side scroller game with nothing original to add. So I basically agree that Super Nintendo is the worst game for Home Alone.

[@Drinkabeerandplayagameofficial]

So what you are saying is........SEGA IS BETTER!!!!!! SE-GA! SE-GA! SE-GA! Seriously though both look like bad DOS games, great video!

[@tr0vb13makrkazak3]
