Very cool, guys.  Thanks for this.

You guys should have included the Beavis and Butthead game. Anyone playing that on the Genesis really missed out.

this makes wolfenstien look like jurassic park.  LOL.  that was amazingly funny.  plus both versions of shadowrun are amazing, but the sega version has my vote.

I still play Aladin on the SNES. He never uses a sword in the movie, that's why I never liked the genesis one. Completely different. Like the shocker thing in Jurassic Park.

Awesome trip down memory lane! Can I get some more please?

In terms of games with HUGE differences, I'm surprised The Adventures of Batman & Robin wasn't brought up. There's a case where the SNES version was superior in virtually every way. It was a well constructed adventure game with character and an identity that was strongly tied to the animated series. The Genesis version was just...run and shoot. Terrible in comparison.

Oh and as for TMNT: Hyperstone Heist that got brought up in the posts here that was like a remixed and abridged version of TMNT: Turtles In Time. Not impressive to say the least.

Funny watching this and realized that Tim and Dan would've been my best friends in the 90's.

WWF Super Wrestlemania and WWF Royal Rumble were also examples of differences. Both shared a portion of the roster, but each had a handful or so of different wrestlers.

ah, nostalgia.

I've owned all of these games for the Genesis, except for SunsetRiders, Shadow Run, and Street Fighter.  I had the Super Nintendo versions of them, but why we're you not playing Sunset Riders or Street Fighter 2 player?

I hope this is an ongoing thing but I really think you need at least one voicer who is not so biased towards the Genesis. You guys aren't mentioning some of the worst parts of the Genesis. MK was better on the Genesis, but like you mentioned in the article and when you played SF2, it was unplayable without the six button controller. Also would love to see more of these with Primal Rage, Streets of Rage, Contra, The Lion King, and Terminator 2 (Arcade game and regular). It just seems that you are both biased from the get go and are picking mostly games you both know are better on the Genesis (Sunset Riders aside). Also would love to see comparrisons of games that were different on the two systems but from the same genre (Castlevania 4 vs Bloodlines for example). Everyone else mentioned the TMNT games, so I won't go into that here, except to say SNES was way better.

Awesome Vid :)

Seems like Genesis was better for these dual games.  This is really an interesting era, I can't Imagine playing, say, Halo by Sony.  It would be real crazy to see this happen today, but maybe Wii U will cause that to happen

I remember being quite jealous of my friend who owned a Genesis because the Genesis version of the first Mighty Morphin Power Rangers game was more of a fighting game (that actually included Goldar and Tommy as the Green Ranger) while the SNES version was more of an action beat-em-up with minor platforming elements. The SNES game was not bad, by any means, but it didn't have the Green Ranger in it at all. That was a hard bullet to take as an eight-year-old obsessed MMPR fan.

At first it was like let's *** on Nintendo, but then Sunset Riders changed it up as well as some others.  Nintendo wins in my mind.

with the exception of sunsetriders i had all of these games on my Genesis as a kid. thanks for the blast from my past. i sucked at SF.

and we need more videos with Dans Dad

AAAAH I LOVE SUNSET RIDERS. so many great memories of co op on that game

Ok I am sorry but i had to comment on this. The Super nintendo Aladdin and the Sega Genesis Aladdin are ABSOLUTELY nothing alike!!! Not just in art style but also in game play and how the story is told. Its not like comparing apples and apples, or apples and oranges. Its like comparing an apple to a banana and saying they were meant to be alike. The super nintendo one is absolutely amazing and I am sure anyone who has played it feels the same. Its not an action game like the sega one.

This was really cool. It's interesting to see such differences just cause of the consoles.
