Real talk, the idea of someone with regeneration abilities selling their organs *professionally* is absolutely genius.

Reason for Gambit's wrong name & stage: SNES version came out about a year before the Genesis. During development of the SNES game, Gambit was barely a known character (used as the "new mutant" that the comics were pushing) with barely any backstory revealed yet. At the time of the game being developed, Remy's last name was unknown, but the comics _had_ revealed that he was "married" to Bella Donna Boudreaux. Which is also why Gambit's stages are so random - the devs knew he used poker cards, so using cards and chess/gaming for his stage was all they had. Oh, and at least on the SNES game there's a stupidly easy way to grab 40+ lives in the 1st Gambit stage, and since everyone shares lives...

Criminally underrated. Thank you guys for keeping this sort of thing alive, not ridiculously polished although very well-presented and not fake, it’s clearly a couple of friends having a great time. Reminds me of better times here on KZfaq lol

“You will _not_ have happiness as long as I live.” -Pat. Best line *ever!* Really wish y’all could go back and redo some of the older episodes and present them in the current review format.

Back in 1993, a new kid came to my school. He was the son of Bolivia's ambassador in my country. One day he invited me and some other classmates to his fancy house to play with his SNES. I remember it exactly: he had Axelay, Mario World, WrestleMania and this game. I was specially amazed by Axelay and Arcade's Revenge and at the time my family didn't have the money to buy me a SNES. I promised myself that in the future I would get the console along with those games, and I did. Now I have a huge collection and of course, I always spare some time to play my beloved SNES cartridges.

The SNES OST is not only my favorite Tim and Geoff Follin work, it's also one of my favorite video game OSTs of all the time, Gambit's level theme and Spider Man's level theme are my favorite tracks. Oh, and great video guy!

This is like debating which is "better" between a wasp sting and a bee sting. No matter what, you suffer.

Unless it looks fine on a CRT, the effect on Storm's level on the Genesis is unforgivable.

Fantastic soundtrack, one of the most realistic sounding electric guitars on the SNES!

Gambit refers to the "Queen's Gambit" in chess, so its not as random as it seems. The queens gambit is an opening move in which a pawn is to be sacrificed.... the opposing player can accept or deny the gambit and the match goes one of two ways..

I don't always watch the skits.... but I watched all of this one. lol Good job!

Now I get it. Next episode is SNK’s Art of Fighting. My comparison requests for you: Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures Bart vs. The Space Mutants (NES vs. SMS) Virtual Bart Krusty’s Super Fun House Pinocchio Bonkers Maui Mallard in Cold Shadow Chuck Rock II: Son of Chuck The Flintstones: Treasure of Sierra Madrock (SNES) vs. The Flintstones (Genesis) Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure The Incredible Crash Dummies Lemmings

A spoof Weird Al song AND a clip from Loaded Weapon? Man, you guys nailed this one out of the park!

This game is so brutal and I've never understood why. Another great episode guys!

Man, you guys really nailed the "humor" of SNL.

I'm not sure how intentional this is, but this show gives me super strong early KZfaq vibes, in an absolutely good way! We're talking about shows from nearly 20 years ago, like early AVGN, LGR, and so forth, so as weird as it may seem I'm nostalgic for those type of nostalgia videos. Over the years a lot of youtubers have tried to copy or just recapture that style, and the thing that was always missing to me is a true sense of discovery: a lot of times those videos were our first introduction to these games, so they were genuinely informative (and at that time gameplay videos were not yet a thing), so seeing somebody to try and do yet another video on how hard TMNT on NES was, or how bad LJN games are, etc. just felt rehashed and uninteresting. Now THIS series recaptures the humor in its skits but also manages to shine light on details I never knew about these games by featuring direct comparisons like I've never seen in some cases... even detailed sites like Wikis often fail to really point to gameplay details or unlockable content instead being 99% about lore! While gameplay videos most of the times are simply one single game from start to finish without intentionally exploring details or additional content and modes (like it's incredibly rare to find gameplay videos on multiplayer modes or secret content in these older games)

"LJN, BABY!" Ahah. Nice. Wolverine's voice from the initial sketch reminded me of Elmer Fudd from Looney Tunes lol.

Long day of work, just walked in, took care of the dog, and now Console Wars is taking care of me. You guys are the best!

11:12 I like how downcast he gets when he's shut down instantly 😂😂

I don't think the Follin bros. worked on the music for the Genesis version (and it shows). In the credits, Sound Images is listed for music instead of them.

''No, you will not have happiness as long as i live'' this....was....brutal. i never heard anything as funny and yet, so grim in my whole life and the acting nailed it. THESE GUYS ARE MASTERS and they deliver lines in ways no one else can deliver. Honestly the most fun duo to watch on the net, period.

"Large Black Queen." Jesus 😅😂

You guys keep getting even better and Weird Al video at the end used up my capacity for creativity! But seriously if you split this video into several separate ones all of them would make it big on TikTok or whatever trends now. Thank you for another genius episode!

I could never beat that damn Juggernaut stage even cheating. Also that SNES Gambit stage music rocked.

*plays guitar* “What? That’s it! Are we doing DIS!?” 😂😂😂 Also, no matter which consoles music you listen to…both are so good! I still rock out to them today. Great episode.

This channel really IS the reason I may grab a particular title for one console over another, and by the numbers, I'm curious as to how many others are similarly influenced. Thats so many markets shifted due to the information provided and the depth of the reviews leading to a solid choice.

"You will not have happiness as long as I live.” Love it xDDD

I randomly decided to work out to the music of this game yesterday...and then this came out? We live in a matrix bros.

You know, the more I think about it, Fraiser playing The Beast was a peak casting choice... but NOW the idea of a Danny Devito Wolverine is something I never knew I needed. Feels like heracy as an Aussie not to prop up Hugh Jackman, but that opening skit was fantastic. Also I was cackling at "No, you will NOT have happiness." 😂

Dang, this game is pure brutality!!! I remember wanted to beat the game badly as a kid, but it was just to difficult. Another great episode guys! 👍

Does anyone else find it weird that the Black Queen's boss fight looks the same as Lucifer's fight from Ghouls N Ghosts?

This is so comforting.

You guys have the most wholesome thing going on the entire Internet

I’ve been binge watching your old videos all day it’s been fun

Woke up this morning to see the new vid…that opening skit legit had me howling. Great start to the morning! I have been waiting for you guys to cover this game

This has to be in the top 3 best skits you done.

Hell yes! A New console wars episode, and on one of the titles i've always been curious about.

You guys are great and criminally underrated and deserve more subscribers.

12:01 Sounds like a sledgehammer hitting against a filing cabinet.

"Sega has better use of color". Never thought Id hear that in a console wars episode. I think that was twice, the first was the ninja garden episode but thats SMS. Loved hearing it

I actually prefer the dying and breathing sounds on Genesis.

Nice episode cover of this unique Marvel game from the 90’s. Great job spoofing both Saturday Night Live and Weird Al as you capture the moments of them very well. Keep up your wonderful work on these fantastic videos.

if you think about it. the graphics between xbox and playstation now are more similar than genesis and snes. i wish I was a kid again

That Weird al impression is JUST good enough to sound legit and i absolutely love it, its hilarious, and sounds like something hed actually do lol

Somebody call Weird Al; I think we have his next song parody! 😆

I love you sketches guys! Make me happy as always, also the next one is Art of Fighting! On Genesis ver you have the cutscenes and gameplay more like the arcade, that episode is gonna be good! Edit: you forgot to say on the Snes version Spiderman says a voice when he get hit

SNL has two jokes. Either one person is crazy and everybody else is sane. Or one person is sane and everybody else is crazy.

Interesting that they didn't use different themes for each characters in the actual gameplay, since they're present in the game. Anyways, great episode as usual.

Okay Next Victim, My turn now...Art of Fighting

Danny Devito as Wolverine!?!? 😅🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

...Wait, how can Storm use her lightnings UNDER WATER?? Wouldn't she pretty much kill herself by doing that?

That was a good episode! I like the skits in this video! Can’t wait for the next episode!

Art of Fighting is the next Console Wars episode.

First Happy Birthday Dan! Second I played the Genesis version of this game and I only passed Spider Man’s sections while finding the other stages (besides Wolverine’s) to be difficult. Last it feels like every time I have a crappy day and you upload a new episode, I feel better, thank you!

5:30 This is, because you are playing on a modern display. On CRT these transparency effects looked much more like on SNES. So you can't blame them back in the day. Off course if you want keep playing these games without special filter or monitor, then its an issue. But its not an issue with the game itself, because you are playing the game in a way it was not intended.

Three wins in a row!? We're back in the game, baby!!

Finally! Glad you guys review this game for both SNES and Genesis. Yes I remember playing this as a kid even my brother on the SNES version and yes it's incredibly hard for all characters especially Storm's stage that took us months or years to beat this game. To this day, we STILL haven't beaten the game we still got the copy of the game but yeah. Oh yeah I even bought a Sega Genesis as well and I even bought the complete in box of Spiderman X-Men Arcade's Revenge it still hard as the SNES version. Also, I agree on the music by Geoff and Tim Follin who made the music, sounds freaking amazing yes my number one favorite is Cyclops' Stage, I even like Wolverine's Stage with the creepy clown music in the background in the music and Storm's stage with a dark ambient music that felt like your in underwater. Anyways yeah I'm so happy you guys review this game from my childhood, thanks guys keep rockin' and keep up making other SNES & Genesis reviews.

I wonder how Storm's stage looks on a CRT, where the dithering can look really cool

Please tell me Dan is gonna dress as Ryo and Pat as Mr. big for the Art of Fighting episode😂 btw great episode guys!

That was the most intense, "WEDOINTHIS?!?!" ever.

1:59, plus that's very clever considering what he does. 3:14, the commercial on the other hand..is BADASS. 14:00, whooooooa!!! With a game like this, a password is welome.

1:18 love the call back! lets hope he aint teaching bobby the art of dog ice sculpting ;)

I was dying with laughter with that opening sketch 😃

Software Creations definitely got their practice in on this game on the music front before making Plok for the SNES

Wow! Even a cameo by Led Zeppelin. Didn't see that coming. And I've been on a Zep kick for a few days, so that's a fun coincidence. The music used for the conclusion kind of reminded me of Boston. And that reminds me how Biker Mice from Mars has a track that is a SNES adaptation of Riding on the Wind from Judas Priest. So all that is fun, which is more than seems to be the case for this game. As for the game, I'd say in some cases that missing sound effects are better than bad ones, but that's a small thing. This game is really odd. It was unimpressive when it came out. I had a Genesis already, and the Spider-Man game from Sega looked amazing to me at the time. This one, not so much. I recognize some of the sprites from the Wolverine game on the NES. I don't know if this one was originally intended for the NES, and then it was switched, or they used the NES sprites as a starting point just to cut down development time. The 8-bit ports of this game came later, so I doubt it was done for that reason. But I was really into Spider-Man and X-Men when this came out, and I just had no interest in this game just from seeing the advertising. I'm surprised the music turned out pretty good.

I think someone mention but i think everyone wants to see Dan dressing like Ryo and Pat like Mr Big 😂 on the next episode

What's funny about the "exclusive SNES music tracks" for Storm and Wolverine, is that the Mega Drive version DOES ACTUALLY HAVE THEM, but don't use them for some strange reason. Maybe the developers thought the Mega Drive renditions weren't good enough and prefered to reuse the other tracks from Cyclos and Gambit, but as a matter of fact, they are present within the code of the Mega Drive version and can be enabled/used through hacking. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/msqFq7Oqs9Gzlok.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pbCAZpNm3c_dnKc.html

The grainy low bit/sample rate Storm death scream is one of favorite examples of Sega audio grime. Just soooooo dirty in a good way.

Doctor Toboggan installed one of those wolverine livers in me.

New subscriber here...I binged watched every episode in a month and I enjoyed every minute!

You guys are hitting it out the ballpark loving the content that SNL skit LOL. I remember playing the heck out of this game back in the day an you guys are right how hard this game is. A save feature or checkpoints was a must to have for this game. Man the Weird AL song was on point an I am drinking Bacardi right now LOL AWESOME VID GUYS

I remember finding a trick on Gambit's stage where you keep racking up extra lives. My friends and I were finally able to beat the game after that.

As a kid I mainly knew about this game from an ad on the VHS for the Pryde of The X-Men cartoon. Of course not having an SNES or Genesis at the time I wouldn't have had any idea on just how difficult this game actually was. Will look forward to your eventual console war on The Death and Return of Superman. I'll just say already that I think that game's soundtrack is better on the... Super Nintendo.

"...you will not have happiness..." So good!!! Happy birthday and thanks for another fun video. The lack of love for the player makes me believe that if I had access to this game back then I would have played it exactly twice and then never again. I never liked the BS towards the player. OK ok, I rarely liked platformers, but still... Otherwise, it looks interesting with the diversity and the vibrant look. As a home computer guy at the time, I never even knew of this, still, cool. BTW, is it me or you guys are getting even better at acting? Well done.

Good god this channel deserves more love

Excellent review, guys. How about a review on the SNES and Genesis ports of Terminator 2: Judgment Day? Time for a "Worst Game" episode, perhaps?

Jurassic Park 2: The Chaos Continues vs Jurassic Park: Rampage Edition

Next Episode... The Art of Fighting.

Another awesome video! Thanks, Console Wars!

It’s nice to see a good comparison of 2 versions of a game that I love despite never being able to beat Juggernaut as Wolverine. Anyways, nice job

Love that Super Nintendo Tim Follin guitar

I remember this series used to compare two different games within the same series Aladdin, Tiny Toon, Animaniacs, Ninja Turtles, Sunset Riders, Contra, Ninja Gaiden, Batman, even compared different series like Streets of Rage vs Final Fight and Phantasy Star vs Final Fantasy… however, since the Earthworm Jim episode it’s been just comparing two ports of the same licensed game, look for that tiny pixel how it looks slightly different on Super Nintendo.

This was my first Sega game back in 93. I got it for Christmas that year.

Really wish you guys were still using Composite video for the graphics comparisons. But yeah you nailed this! The joint was always better on Super NES.

Well I for one, old as I am, actually like the skits so THERE. Also, a point in favor of the skit here over the game, is that the celebrity cameos at least felt like they had some thought put into how they could be as "SNL-dull" as possible. The game feels like each level isn't like, SUPER-adapted to bring out the best in each character. And the concept of a game where you just control a character per level feels like it wouldn't really satisfy any fans- just wet their appetite, and then leave them high and dry.

I’m surprised WB didn’t call Pat to do the voice of 🦇 Batman 🦇

Don’t even have to watch to know they deserve a thumbs up y’all are amazing

Can't wait for the next episode covering Portraits Karate. Talk about a classic!

Great episode. I used to have the SNES game, but I can never beat any of the levels after the "Spider-Man" Security stage. I haven't watched modern SNL, but I can already say, the "SNL" skit here is a crap load better than a majority of the modern skits on that show (even though some stand out). Also great "Weird Al" bit, cool to see a parody of "New York" by Alicia Keys.

First Console Wars Video of 2024 And Now I'm Gonna watch it 😁👍

Watching the characters “break” during the SNL skit was top tier. The parody was on high. 2:21

Shout out to the egg in the trying time

Could literally never get passed any stage 2 levels but wow that music was fire

"Museum for kicks" next! I already know who the winner will be

Alright, listen up, you Dweebenheimers! The next episode is Art of Fighting!

The skits are the best part!

Funny story- I got this as a kid thinking it was an arcade port. Not knowing Arcade was his own thing. Still have it. Still hard as balls!

You guys are gonna win another Emmy this year, I know it!

Another awesome episode. I always look forward to your content, keep it up!

one of the best skit-a-thon episodes ever
