This game had the most repetitive bosses and enemies, it was a chore to play this. I prefer Maximum carnage.

This was a really cleverly done episode. I know it's said all the time, but you guys deserve so much more attention.

the guys are just so fun to watch, u can clearly feel their energy in the videos they make, 25 minutes of goodness, keep it up guys, such high quality entertainment.

The technique used to render the inferior graphics on the Genesis is called Dithering. Since the Genesis can't display as many colors at once the designers have to "cheat" by placing different colored pixels next to each other in a pattern to simulate the missing detail. It works well enough on a CRT where everything is a bit blurrier but even back in the day you'd probably notice the difference in quality. Dithering is also commonly used to simulate shadows, even the SNES version does this with alternating black and transparent pixels in a checkerboard pattern.

Ok this is a Supreme demonstration why I love this series. we're over 5 minutes in and so far you're just talking about the game's shortcomings..... regardless of console. I like that. Sometimes on this show, it's not always about the "Console War" but just about why a game is great or flawed. Keep up the good work! You guys deserve the silver Play button and then some!

I have to be honest, when you started out with it sounding like a "Best" comparison," I was like "wait, really? This game sucks, though." XD You guys got me! You got me good! XD

I love the feeling of seeing a new Console Wars video in my subscription box! It always makes my day! 😁

I feel like this episode really nailed the nostalgia goggles coming off. I had a very similar transition from "Oh yeah that game was awesome!" to "Oh, I was a kid that consumed anything actiony with super heroes in it and didn't know better." Another great episode!

Maximum carnage is one of my favorite games of all time but I absolutely despise separation anxiety it was such a downgrade I saw that it was obviously either a cash grab or they wanted to make sure that both systems could run two player mode so they had to downgrade so much I never played it and never will this is the most of this game I have ever seen

Given the release year (1995), Separation Anxiety reeks of Acclaim quickly and cheaply throwing together a Maximum Carnage sequel out there on SNES & Genesis as one last cashgrab before audiences moved on to the 5th generation of consoles. On the plus side though, "Less Crappy" is a solid third category for future Console War episodes; there are loads of licensed games for both consoles out there that would more than fit that kind of contest.

Separation Anxiety is repetitive and difficult, and there are definitely better 16-bit beat 'em ups out there, but I wouldn't go so far as to call it a 'bad' game. I'm a little more forgiving as I got this game as a gift in my Easter basket. I got Out of This World on SNES another year. On a holiday where most kids just got candy, my mom used to fill my Easter basket with budget SNES games and Archie Sonic comics. My mom fucking rocks, I should give her a call.

Yes these guys are back with a fresh new episode really awesome channel

"Playing with your dolls again?" Was that a subtle Spaceballs reference?

I miss watching your show! Please don't ever stop! You guys are awesome and the best things in life right now.

I’m excited to see you guys play some Spider-Man action!

Also, I love the contrast between the last next episode hint and this one's. I would NEVER have guessed "Seperation Anxiety" from a broken hearrt and that dude's mind issue. But this one? How could that be ANYTHING but Jungle Book? ...It'd be funny if it wasn't Jungle Book.

You guys do such a great job with every video you make. So much detail. I have to give the editor a huge thumbs up 👍

Yeah, this game was pretty bland but one thing it had over Maximum Carnage was the 2 player co-op. Maximum Carnage was only single player which for a beat 'em up was kind of a dealbreaker for me and my buddies at the time.

I've been watching your videos for YEARS. How have you not broken 60k subs yet?? I expected this channel to be in at least the 500k plus range! That's surprising.

Killing me with the tweaking NPC 😂🤣

They only thing better about Separation Anxiety was the addition of 2-player co-op.

2:22 - Oh my gosh, I have this exact same sentiment! I don't get this obsession with making as many games as possible open world. Anyway, as for the game covered itself, this was certainly quite a twist to the formula. A shame the game didn't turn out so great but I did actually appreciate the graphics. The bold outlines have a wonderful pop for the characters and the designs are simple enough that even I could draw them.

This was a really funny episode! Instead of best or worst episode, it’s more of a mixed episode! Also, I’m excited for next time! Learned you were doing Disney games and I wanted The Jungle Book! I’m ready for next month’s episode! Anyways, bye and I will see you next month!

I am curious about how well was the comic storyline was received by the viewers here. Plus if I wanted a particular game to be remade then this one and Maximum Carnage to be visited in a future Spiderman game. You know I will be looking forward to The Death and Return of Superman covered here. I recall the movies were released years after this controversial storyline but I liked those alt. Supermen characters like Steel and Eradicator. My surprise is that those games never got covered so I do want know Console Wars opinions on this.

I loved playing this game so much with my friends as a kid, I had the SNES version, those songs are straight up bangers

This is a fun episode to revisit because of all of the little Easter Eggs leading up to the twist. Upon a second viewing, the opening makes it abundantly clear that you do nothing but fight Life Foundation Soldiers the entire time. 😆

Great episode. A big first for this show, where both games wound up being "not as good" but "not so bad" as anybody remembers. I don't remember if played this game as kid, but looking at the footage of this game, while it does look graphically good, the game is a real step down from "Maximum Carnage". I may want to check out the comics of "Separation Anxiety" and "Venom: Lethal Protector". LIFE FOUNDATION SOLDIERS!!!!

I think it's almost time for you two to branch out. Do Master System vs NES or even Gamegear vs Gameboy.

Less crappy category? That's new! Great episode yet again, guys!

Oh god it's the frozen dog joke from the Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 episode. lol

Even Venom asking Spider-Man to find his pet dog, I lost it there 😂

15:53 Actually, Venom can reach secret rooms as well. But the rooms are in different places for each character. Great Episode, guys! I laughed my a off with the wormhole swallow 😂 Freaking love your work!

Anxious for Wild Bible next episode! Underrated gem. Whishing you the best

The air humper joke is hilarious…dat camera angle!😂

Found yall through shadow run and was very pleased to see you're still making content

When Sub Zero isn’t making Subs’ Heros, he’s freezing dawgs!

Would you consider comparing the Saturn and N64 versions of games in the future, such as Rampage World Tour, Bust A Move 2 and Mortal Kombat Trilogy?

Yes next video is jungle book! I can’t wait.

It was sure was a Life Foundation Soldiers Life Foundation Soldiers Episode!

My dog got frozen ! 😂😂 great call back 😂😂🤘

I bought this game after loving Maximum Carnage. I thought that being able to do 2 player Co-Op would make this game perfect. I ended up taking the game back the next day. Maximum Carnage had satisfying motion comic cut scenes as a reward for completing each stage. Better music, more assists, and sprites. This game was a huge downgrade.

Great video, guys! Always makes me happy to see new content. I loved the video, as always

Great video. Thanks as always! Would you guys consider comparing Cold Shadow in Maui Mallard? The games looked identical to me but I keep hearing that they were ported by different companies and ended up quite different overall. Take care!!

9:43 That midewestern accent is pretty good, you just forgot the "ope" "Ope, well, shoulda seen that comin'"

10:35, lol didn’t even try to argue .

How does this channel have less than 60k subs? The most easily underappreciated channel on the whole platform

Next time : The Jungle Book, finally, i bet anything than Sega will win

Absolutely nailed it with the recent Spidey rescue quests. Ughh!

23:52 Best gameplay ever.

Fun episode as usual BUT the best part was without any doubt the Venom costume! XD

I think Virtual Bart would enter in the less crappy category, I mean yeah is not a good game, but I think is the less bad simpson's game from the game consoles

I'd rather help a thousand New Yorkers find a thousand of their pets then to ever play Separation Anxiety ever again. Thanks for covering this.

Separation Anxiety is a very underrated Faith No More song.

Jungle Book is finally next! Oh boy!

This was definitely an unusual video. The two versions of the game are almost as similar as possible (which they should be if they're supposed to be the same game, this is a rare occurrence sadly) and this just seemed more like a review than a comparison. Anyway, I'm certainly not tempted to play this game, now. Thanks for taking this one for us all, guys.

Y’all should do one with Disney’s The Jungle Book! Edited: I posted this comment before I saw the hint at the end of the video! 😂

In that sketch about losing things, I think it would have been funny if Dan had come back only a short moment later and Pat just goes, “…And I lost it.” without probably even moving.

Only redeeming factors for this game was the Music (Snes version) and 2 player...but thats not a very high bar to begin with. Good episode ya'll. I enjoyed it!

Self-deprecating comedy. Classic.

I noticed the reference to Sub-zero freezing dogs from the Mortal Kombat 3 episode at 1:16.

@8:43 - Love that you nailed the vintage 1990s Taco Bell background.

Another awesome video guys! I was hoping I would get to see you talk about this one at some point. I had some fond memories of playing this game for the SNES growing up, but now I realize it wasn’t all that great. Maximum Carnage is better in my opinion.

Next episode is Jungle Book

I love how the thumbnail makes this look like it was made in the 1200s. :D

25:22 It's The Jungle Book! I'm expecting a Sega win on that episode!

For sounds, SNES has its own jingle for Daredevil where Genesis uses Hawkeye's jingle. Genesis I'd say has the better Carnage laugh though.

michromachines are next?

I just realised and this was probably intentional, but your opening skit was basically if the Spider-Man games were as good as Sonic '06.

I would love to see a video on Wolverine: Adamantium Rage as both versions have their strengths and flaws as in SNES has the better Graphics and Sound, whereas Genesis barely and I mean barely has better Controls, and Gameplay. Basically both versions suck to the point where a updated fan made rom-hack called Wolverine: Adamantium Rage Redux was created and released to fix the issues the original releases had.

Was just feeling like it was time for a new console wars! Its the best notification to wake up and see in my inbox. I love the show!

Dan is slowly becoming Reed Richards from the Fantastic Four.

Yo, Dan and Pat... can't believe that YT hasn't warned me of the new episode... :( Still here I am with the LIKE and ofc, gonna watch it right now! Cheers, dudes!

There is a huge difference in the music; SNES wins in that category hands down.

Despite the obvious and pretty big downgrades from maximum carnage. I still love this game and lots of fun with both games throughout my life

Watching this makes me appericiate beat 'em ups like River City Girls, so many different types of enemies the whole game.

I know the next episode is the jungle book so excited to see it, and could you guys do the death and return of superman soon, and keep it up!!!

"It's not like drinking a box a beer will have any negative consequences." ❤️👍 Wow, paint Pat green and he's the spitting image of "The Green Goblin". Maximum Carnage is way better, especially for the Sega Genesis, than separation anxiety. Glad you made a 3rd category: Best game, Worst game and Less Crappy. Can't wait to see that pop up more. Amazing vid guys.

Are we doing this???

Least Crappy is a good type of verdict, I would like to see more of it in the future!

would love to see how the regular mortal kombat 3 compares to one another just got done watching ultimate mortal kombat 3 comparison and loved it

Yeah, this game is the definition of "blah". There's nothing "wrong" with it per say, but there are so many better beat em ups on both consoles.

I'm loving your content, I think I have watched like 20% of your videos so far, great job guys.

I forgot there was a genesis version. Maximum carnage was good this was okayish

25:25 - "JUNGLE BOOK"!

I love the confused approach taken here; this game walks the line so fine that it's really hard to make an argument for it either way. This is also a fantastic follow-up to the Maximum Carnage video! Finally: Life Foundation Soldier

Is it wrong I could tell right away who was playing Spiderman and who was playing Venom entirely off of body language alone?

Just started watching these videos. It's really interesting to see how different two ports of the same game can be. I'd like to see a video on A Link to the Past vs Crusader of Centy. One was made late in the fourth generation of consoles, but the other is regarded a classic. I think it would be interesting to see how they hold up against each other.

My cousins had this cartridge (SNES), and actually, we liked and played a lot, but we really always get tired near the last stages. There's a place in the forest, where you can grab lives indefinitely, so we always manages to finish, after grabbing a lot of lives. Not a good game, after all, but back in the day, was serviceable.

I was a huge Spider-Man fan in the 90’s and I loved Maximum Carnage. When I found out a sequel was in the works I began saving my $3 a week allowance in eager anticipation. I picked up the Genesis version shortly after release and instantly regretted my purchase. Although the addition of 2 player co-op was a nice enhancement, every other aspect of this game was a downgrade. My stomach sank knowing I had wasted so many weeks of allowance on such a half assed cash grab.

8:40 I like that the background is a Taco Bell.

yaaaay..... I want to stress how little of a "yay" that is. LOL

While I enjoyed it as much as the rest, admittedly, I was a bit let down by the ending. i was expecting a life foundation solder to ask you to find their cat.

The only redeeming quality of the game is that it is 2 player co op. I was really missing that from Maximum Carnage.

5:09 D'Carlo Watkins: "Damn, Eddie, what'chu doin' out here wit' all this ass? Double cheeked up on a Thursday afternoon."

I remember renting "Maximum Carnage" alot at the video store. Then when "Speration Anxiety" came out, I had to play it. The cover looks awesome and it's a sequel so it has to be great. What a let down. At least the Spider-Man games got better after that.

Some suggestions for episodes: * Desert Strike: Return to the Gulf * James Pond 2: Robocod * B.O.B. * Thunder Force III vs. Thunder Spirits * Micro Machines 2 * Art of Fighting * Fatal Fury 2 * Saturday Night Slam Masters * World Heroes * Out of This World * Flashback: The Quest for Identity * Doom Troopers * Super Mario World vs. Kid Chameleon (I know Sonic's the obvious choice for Super Mario World, but Kid Chameleon feels more like Mario) * Final Fantasy III/VI vs. Phantasy Star IV * Secret of Mana vs. Beyond Oasis * A Link to the Past vs. Crusader of Centy * The Flintstones: The Treasure of Sierra Madrock vs. The Flintstones * Killer Instinct vs. Eternal Champion * Dragon Ball Z: Super Butoden 2 or 3 vs. Dragon Ball Z: Buyuu Retsuden * Chrono Trigger vs Lunar * Arcana vs. Shining in the Darkness * Shaq Fu (Worst Version) * Shinobi (NES vs. Master System) * Gauntlet (NES vs. Master System) * Star Wars (NES vs. Master System) * Hudson's Adventure Island vs. Wonder Boy (NES vs. Master System) * The Legend of Zelda vs. either Govelius or Golden Axe Warrior (NES vs. Master System) * Either Final Fantasy I or Dragon Warrior III vs. Phantasy Star 1 (NES vs. Master System) * Rad Racer vs. OutRun (NES vs. Master System) * Bubble Bobble vs. Final Bubble Bobble (NES vs. Master System) * Kung-Fu vs. Black Belt/Hokuto no Ken (NES vs. Master System)

Rare use of the 90s taco bell background

I hit the "Not so crappy" button on this video.😀

Thank you upload the clips in July 30th,2022!

The raw sound of the Genesis version is better listening to both. The SNES one is very hollow even if it has more sounds and vocals and more tracks. It's nice to see a Genesis title not use some GEMS soundfount and have a rich bass. Also keep up the fun, great work!!! I love your guys and the channel a ton.
