Tough one... I like both games, but I'd have to go with Strider because it has so many unique and quirky design choices. Capcom took risks with it and it really stood out at the time it was released in arcades. Run Saber feels more like a generic side-scrolling platformer with Strider influences. While it's more polished, they definitely took the safe route with it. 25+ years after it was released, a lot of people still remember Strider and it's still an influential game. The same can't be said of Run Saber. Another great video guys!

Another cool, random thing I figured out by accident on Run Saber was color swap: pause the game and press select and you'll swap through a decent number of different color schemes for the characters. This was especially cool for 2 player mode as a way to add personality to your play.

Christopher Blair "Well they just compared a game from 1989 with a game from 1993 so why not?" They do that often though. Like with their Castlevania episode. Also, the Super FX Chip doesn't require a special hardware upgrade to run, its literally just an extra chip in the cartridge. Hundreds of Megs of storage and a large piggyback of new system resources are not being added. You might as well complain that Mode 7 shouldn't be allowed, as it's something the Genesis can't do via hardware.
@Holothurion8 жыл бұрын
"it's just a snes with a cd-rom drive and some memory to handle it and nothing more" Translation: It's just a SNES with access to technology that offers hundreds of times the storage capacity of cartridges while also allowing for graphic and audio enhancements, along with extra RAM which gives a boost to all of the system's capabilities. Which is exactly the same thing that the Sega CD does, by the way.

Loved the Simpsons gag, and the ending skit was freakin' hilarious! I laughed my ass off! Being a huge Strider fan and growing up with the game, I kept thinking, "no way" after Strider lost category after category. I had never played Run Saber before, so I couldn't disagree, but I do admit, Strider does have its problems--the arcade version included. The controls are finicky as hell, it slows down a LOT, the voices are all kinds of weird and "off"--but man, does it have some killer tunes and graphics! I tried Run Saber on an emulator after watching your video and got through most of stage one before the game glitched out on me. It does seem pretty cool, so I'll definitely need to play through it some more, but from what I had played, I'd still say Strider has better graphics and music (I'm a sucker for late '80s Capcom arcade music). I dig the big sprites of Strider and I really like that it has a ton of songs throughout the game. I wish Run Saber wasn't so damned expensive, but I think I'm gonna need to pick up a copy.

Yeah alot of the time it comes down to poor console optimization. Strider came out really early in the Gen life and they clearly didn't know how to efficiently code for it or they were indifferent to it at the time. Because technically, this game should have no problem for the 68000 cpu. (Just look @ Musha from 1990!) The Snes, albeit a much slower processor suffered from the same issues in games early in its life...Gradius 3, Lttp, Super R-Type, all with slowdown that would occur, corrected once developers became more proficient with their programming like R-Type 3, Contra 3 and Super Metroid.

It's less fair than most comparisons they've done, as they generally do the same game on different consoles, which are developed and released very close together. I don't mind that they compared them, but obviously one should have the advantage if it was developed 3-4 years after the other. One should have the advantage in this case, whereas in most other cases the games were released around the same time, giving neither development team an advantage so the OP has a valid argument.

Strider was released in 1990 though... Run Saber in 1993. There was almost 3 years between the releases and the original Strider was released in 1989, about 1.5 years before the Genesis port. They're similar games, but... not really fair to compare. It's like letting a 10 year old boy beat up a 5 year old boy.

Just because a game came out later doesn't automatically make it better. Final Fight 2 came out after Streets of Rage 2. And I have a feeling one of our future videos is going to have an older game beat its copy.

thenonexistinghero very true. But comparing the NES port of Strider to the Sega version would be just as unfair honestly, which I thought they would at least mention. I'll always love the Sega port of Strider but I can give Run Saber props for improving on Strider's foundation. Now if only it were available on the Virtual Console, because Run Saber on eBay and Amazon asks for a sizable portion of my paycheck..

Run Saber and Strider are really two different games with only superficial similarities. Sure, Run Saber clones many of Strider's movements and elements of its angled level design, but it just doesn't have the same momentum and speed which makes it feel like a more generic side-scroller by comparison. You don't get the same rush at advanced levels of play.

Another great job, men. The next game should be Tecmo Super Bowl since we're in the heart of football season.

Alright, so there's a photo of Mr. Burns with a stake going through him. However, he's dressed like in the Coppola film, Bram Stoker's Dracula. There are 3 options- 1. Bram Stoker's Dracula (SNES vs GENESIS), 2. The Simpsons- Bart's Nightmare (SNES vs GENESIS), or 3. (Because it's Simpsons-) Krusty's Funhouse vs Krusty's Super Funhouse (GENESIS vs SNES)!

With four years time to work on Strider 2: The Rehash, Run Saber sure as heck should be the better game! "We're not going to do anything new or interesting, we're just going to remake what was already successful, but do it flashier!" - Every company that copied Sega EVER

Seems like the Mega Drive cannot handle too many sounds at once right? Seems like Strider was a technical accomplishment.

The SNES guy sounded pretty petty with his gripes...Oh, and Run Saber's sprites look small, generic, and unremarkable.
