Versus No 1. Snes/MegaDrive Vs Neo-Geo

This is my first versus video the first of many i hope.

In this video i am comparing the best Run & Gun games for Super Nintendo and Sega MegaDrive/Genesis against the Neo-Geo.
Three consoles who were out at the same time with different capabilities and power, each with their own strengths and weaknesses.

Games Featured -

Gunstar Heroes (MegaDrive/Genesis)
Contra III: The Alien Wars (Super Nintendo)
Metal Slug (Neo-Geo)

Responding to ioport I wasn't just comparing the looks but the overall game which includes gameplay of the different systems. It seems you have missed the point of these comparisons or you have the same mentality of alot of gamers where it's all about te grapixorz1111herpderp.

Amazing to think that hardware out at the same time as the Mega drive and Super nes can do them sort of graphics

[bambooie]

Always suprised by what the Neo-Geo can do you should check out my Garou: Mark of the Wolves playthrough video.

Pretty unfair as metal Slug came out years after the others (though the hardware didn't so fair enough). Mega drive also has Contra hard Corps, which to me was even more insane and faster than Alien wars.

[bambooie]

Yeah i realised that Metal Slug did come out awhile after the others but as you said it was still the same hardware that came out in 1990.

Eh, Cyber-Lip would have been a better choice since it came out a few months after the Neo Geo launch.

[bambooie]

Yeah i could of used that but i was going for the best and most well known games on each respective console Cyber-Lip doesnt fall into either of those criteria.

The weaker and CHEAPER system always wins in sales. At first the once cheaper genesis was winning agaisnt SNES until the 32x and CD came out and made the system expensive. The SNES won over the more powerful but expensive NEO GEO. It continues to this day with the weaker Wii and DS winning against the more powerful compitetion.

@godoftakedown but anyone can say also that many ppl do not want to admit this is an arcade board just because they've "consolized" it

just look at the games, the costs, the hardware numbers, no matter how you disguise this is an arcade board more likely cps- power or other sega/namco boards to be fair... the only difference is that nintendo/sega opted to do a more economic home console instead of consolized a board, with a different catalogue

@Namriu94 Ummm if you add the total amount of ps3's and Xbox 360's combined, they still don't add up to the amount of wii's sold.

Yeah, Genesis shits all over SNES in terms of run and gun games, in both quantity and quality.

Genesis has Gunstar Heroes, Alien Soldier (Japan and Europe only), Contra: Hard Corps (better than Contra III, imo), the better version of Earthworm Jim, Vectorman, Vectorman 2, Assault Suit Leynos, and Ranger X.

SNES only had Contra III: The Alien Wars, the inferior version of Earthworm Jim, Assault Suits Valken, Metal Warriors, and Front Mission: Gun Hazard (Japan only).

@SPS148669 Funny that, over in Europe the Master System was a good bit more popular than the NES.

Partly due to how badly the NES was handled over here.

[Namriu94]

@SPS148669 idk about that today , last gen ps2 was more expensive than a gamecube but sold much more and now most people have a ps3 or x-box over nintendos cheaper systems.

It simply boils down to this: If you like mario, RPG's like chrono trigger and secret of mana and tales of phantasia then you'll prefer the SNES.

If you like Sonic the hedgehog, SHUMP games like truxton, and thunderforce the you'll prefer the megadrive.

Me ? I'm more of a RPG man myself and before you all call me biased i have both systems and i like both but I prefer SNES purely because there are alot of classic RPG's on there

it's kind of funny sega could have pulled the noe geo stunt and they kinda did. i remeber them comercials sega and snes where like weeners an the noe the full monhty the full hotdogg with sause salami everything you could wish for,at the same time who could eat that hotdog everyday? not the average.neo geo set the smartest move and made it the dumbest at the same time,what made them go bankrupt?.

[aryinc]

alienn wars is a great game but gunstar walks all over that maybe because it's so damn busy,and for metal slug,i owned a neo but i sold it due to the ridiculous prices for them cartridges some even reach up to prices of new led or 3d tv's.who wan't to pay 300+ dollars for shooting or fighting games(that looks super)? i think i playability snes and genesis win this one.and btw cram a 64 meg into a genesis it could suprise also.
