Our heroes determine which console had the better version of Scooby Doo Mystery. Super Nintendo or Sega Genesis? Find out in Console Wars! Facebook: / consolewars Twitter: / consolewarsguys
I had no idea that Scooby Doo for the Sega was like a PC adventure game. It even has similar animation to the Monkey Island series. It's rare that I watch entire videos on RU-vid these days, but this was definitely one. Excellent episode, fellas
@@ConsoleWars ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NXrokXHVq6I.html The super Nintendo version had this theme song of Scooby-Doo which was rare for the series plot the Sega version had the common theme song of Scooby Doo
That's a good idea for Scooby Doo games, honestly. A point and click adventure game to solve the mysteries and catch the monsters? Helping build elaborate traps? Collecting knick knacks that can help along the way? Perhaps a common collectable in Scooby Snacks? Chase scenes that could take on a more platform-esque design or using your tools or disguises to get away? Narrowing suspects down and determining who's really behind it? Come on, if Telltale didnt go under, I'd've wanted a Scooby Doo game from them!!
I really like the way you lay out the arguments for each console, and are the first to say how bad a game is even if it's your preferred system i.e. Worst version. As an original Nintendo fan, I have also come to prefer the Genesis for certain games over the SNES. Keep up the great videos :)
Man, I really enjoy you guys' videos, I don't completely understand why, possibly the stupid humor mixed with great reviews for these video games, or the awkwardness of it all, but you guys make pretty good review videos, I'm glad I stumbled upon this" channel, also, I'd love to see you guys do a console wars on "secret of mana" vs "Beyond Oasis."
It looked so good it looked like Lucas Arts could have made it in between the Monkey Island franchise...and I am heavily disappointed in Argonaut, those guys made the standard control scheme for ever FPS made in the past 21 friggin years and they made such a piss poor Scooby Doo game...For shame, guys!
The biggest thing against it is the save system. With all the variables in terms of where you are and what items you're holding, trying to do it with a password system is nuts. The game should have come with a battery back-up.
If something like that ever happens again, they should play a voice clip. For SEGA, "Excellent!" (From Virtua Fighter) For SNES, "Perfect!" (From Street Fighter II)
+Xu An Lim Yes, it was already broken and unrepairable. Instead of it taking up space in a landfill why not make it a prop. And it was also took a lot of effort to smash, they just don't make them like they used to.
I honestly thought you were going to pull off the mask, and it was going to still be Greg behind the mask somehow XD Great episode guys, and great to see Sega finally get a shut out I hope the next episode isn't DK vs Vectorman like everyone's been asking for. The comparison really doesn't make much sense. A monkey's uncle? I'm hoping it's Jungle Book (it has monkeys) or Lion King (Scar's line "then I'm a monkey's uncle)
+Console Wars Hello guys! That was one of the best game review I've ever seen, dude keep working on it! I'd like you to make review about umk3 game, I think that would be epic. This is consoles waaaaaaaaar!
I don't like seeing SNES lose, but I had to agree with every point made. Some suggestions: Gemfire Donald in Maui Mallard Demolition Man Judge Dredd True Lies
+Ryuma King I hate to say, but I don't think they will do one on Maui Mallard since the Genesis version was only released in Europe. The game's american release was only a Sega Channel exclusive.
@wiztic. No, the genesis graphics are sharp and higher definition than the SNES. This channel has been struggling with its Genesis video capture for a long time. Also if they've been using that Genesis model 2 that's criminal for a comparison channel, as the model 1 has far superior sound and graphics.
so glad I've came across you guys !! awesome videos. plus Greg did you know you look a bit like Corey Taylor from Slipknot? obviously without the mask !!!!
The one on Genesis looked like it wanted to be a SCUMM engine game, which probably would've been cool if they could fully cast the voice acting for it. I wonder if there's a fan mod to make use of the Sega Mouse.
I didn't play either back in the day, but I remember an old magazine called Tips & Tricks included the strategy for the entire Genesis game right in their CODES section. Always got a kick out of that. Another hilarious episode!!!
Your channel is my fav! I like it better than all the big channels. I have no idea why you guys don't have 10x the subs. Your channel is a gem. Thanks for doing what you do. Could you do B.O.B., Sunset Riders or the Lost Vikings?
+Wade Wilson My model 1 is hooked up through RGB. You can get stereo out of it but it requires the headphone jack but there should be no problem with composite out. Composite video comes out pin 2 of the 8-pin connection in the back. Try different cables? Or maybe your console has a problem.
+Wade Wilson I found this interesting because I don't use a capture device and haven't had this problem with any of my TVs or my upscaler so I looked into it. It seems that the Genesis encodes the color information at a slightly higher rate than the NTSC standard (228 vs 227.5 MHz), probably because it's slightly higher horizontal resolution than other systems. Composite video encodes the brightness and color onto one cable in two separate frequency regions. According to Wikipedia, it seems there were a few changes in the NTSC standard between 1987 and 1994 so the Genesis, which was based on earlier arcade hardware, probably violated the standard because of that since TVs back then didn't mind. If your capture device adheres to the standard strictly, it will be able to pick up the brightness information (black and white) but not know how to properly interpret the color information resulting in either a wavy picture (which happened on my first LCD TV when there was a lot of color on screen) or no color at all. Later models of the Genesis used cheaper video encoders which resulted in varying degrees of video quality but probably had better adherence to the NTSC standard due to coming out later which is why you don't have a problem using it with your capture card.
Exactly I remember watching a preview for one of the episodes of the new cartoon and someone was framing Scooby then he got arrested I was like wth? I'm like who in the world would arrested a dog smh
+Octavia Black I wouldn't be so sure about that. Mystery Inc is a ton better than the original (darker, continuing story, loves to reference old Hanna Barbera work) while Be Cool Scooby Doo is pretty funny with possibly the best version of Daphne.
How nice to see my suggestion turning into an episode :). And it was a great one as well! What I hate about the Genesis version is that the password system isn't only painfully long but also buggy. Me and my friend had to start over Ha Ha Carneval because the passwords refused to work in the end, though we double-checked them. So annoying! Did anyone else ever encounter this?
"You're going to get stuck in this game. You won't know what to do..." I think that is the fun of a point-and-click game. Clock Tower and Myst are good examples. You never know what to do, but the fun is to discover what, when and where to use the item.
Hello, Console Wars! The Sega game reminds me of those old ''Humongous Entertainment'' games from the 90s. I remember playing ''Putt-Putt Travels Through Time'' as a kid, and I had fun doing it.
I remember renting "Scooby-Doo Mysteries" on Sega from a local "Blockbuster Video" as a kid. And being a kid, I couldn't figure out what to do, but the game did look good. Watching this did make me appreciate the game a lot more. Also never heard of the SNES version nor that it was a different game. Honestly I'm with Sega (Dan) with this one. SNES's version looks just plain in caparison to the more ambitious game on the Genesis.
Long password gripes is a pet peeve of mine. Games with long passwords are games that have many different variables in them, and thus require the long password. It denotes what items are in what states, how many you have, etc. Look at Zombies Ate My Neighbors. The password system in that is only 4 characters, which takes you to a level. The problem is when you use the password it's not actually a saved game, it's a new game from that level where you start with the squirt gun. Say bye bye to all your decoys, potions, weapons, etc. It makes starting certain levels with passwords pretty hard (mines/canyon area in my experience) Anyway, now a days all you have to do is snap a pic with your phone. Or savestate
Scooby Doo for the Sega was one of my all time favorite games! I wish they made more games like this for consoles. So glad you guys finally covered this game :D
Ya know, I've always been stuck in this notion of SNES superiority, but watching these videos really makes me want to set up a Genesis in my game room and track down the best Genesis games, especially since even the best/rarest are way cheaper than their SNES equivalents atm. Of course, it is a lot easier since Sega Genesis classics are dumped into giant game releases such as the Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection or the Steam packs, whereas most classic SNES games are mostly still left on that system. For your next episode, you guys should definitely do Space Mega Force VS Musha, two of the greatest shooters of that generation.
Your videos just keep getting better, i know that racing games can be awkward to review but episodes on Ayrton Senna's Super Monaco Gp 2 vs Nigel Mansell World Championship(or maybe this Nigel Mansell game on the super nintendo vs the sega genesis), Top Gear 2 and Rock n' Roll Racing would be great.
LMAO @ The "Could You Still Play Games?" Song! I couldn't quit laughing during that whole thing. Great work again, Dan! 3:45 Greg: "You got a working Sega?" Dan: "Uhh...Yeah! (Pulls out TWO Genesis') - Hahaha! Noice! I've actually never played a Scooby Doo game, to be honest. I never watched much of the cartoon either, but I did like the few episodes that I saw of it. Anyway, the Genesis game definitely chose a unique gameplay style. I wasn't quite expecting it to be a point and click game.
I'm not sure if this was mentioned in an earlier comment, but the music from the SNES version is actually music from the cartoon. I prefer the Genesis version by far, but do like how the SNES version had the cartoon's music....that music that's been burned into my brain due to repetition....OK, maybe that's not such a good thing after all....
I much prefer it when the games being compared are from different companies as here than when they are just direct ports of one another. Much more diversity and less nit picking. Why not Sonic the Hedghog vs. Super Mario World, Super Scope 6 vs. Menacer 6, Ogre Battle vs Shining Force, etc.? Great show!
Another great vid. Can't believe how detailed the game looks on the Genesis, almost has as much animation as the old Sierra games. Also, we have the same 8-way A/V switch...it's a godsend
Love the video can you guys do Family Feud Super Nintendo vs Sega Genesis versions to see which is better and which one yo pick up please and thank you.
That's my boy! "You got a working Sega?" He pulls out two Model 2's! Ine question, why no Model 1 love? Get yourself some body oil....I mean, play some games. This is the perhaps the funniest episode I have ever seen. The light fixture killed me....I'm dead now. That made me laugh so damn hard..."This isn't a Aztec temple Indiana Jones."
Ryuma King Yeah I've been meaning to try out that one too. There's also one on GBA that is like the SNES version of Scooby Doo Mystery but with a bit more platforming involved.
My brother and I were just talking about these games tonight and I had to look em up, I could never get far, but I rented the Genesis version a lot as a kid!
Velma's colours are more accurate on the SEGA version to the cartoon. That brown on Super Nintendo was unused so I'm guessing that was the true reason SEGA won that battle as animation is gameplay not graphics.
+console wars Dan did your model 2 get broken or was that a prop a Genesis that no longer worked? I still have mine but it's put away same with my Sega cd and 32X.
Console Wars good to know at least you have more than one Model 2 Genesis/Mega Drive consoles that work that design is one of my favorites of all time. Also I look forward to a sequel to the MMPRTM review the SNES MMPR game's engine is reused for the MMPRTM game on the SNES. Plus if there's a plus that the Genesis version which is a fighting game that it has the Green Ranger, Dragonzord, & Goldar as playable characters in 2 player mode. That's what should help beat Greg in that review lol!
Great episode!! It seems that as you guys make more episodes more and more effort and effects and storylines are being made. Definitely enjoyed this episode. It makes me want to get a copy of this game for the Genesis. Lol. Keep up the great work guys!!!!
+Console Wars You guys definitely are!! Not saying that your older episodes were bad or anything. they've all been good. Its a great series !! I'll be looking forward to the next installment!!!!
Hey guys, I really like your show. I know these rivalries weren't nearly as heated as SNES vs. Genesis but how about making episodes for games with the same name released on other generation consoles such as NES vs. Sega Master System and/or N64 vs. Saturn? Thanks
By the way guys I think you compared the sound a bit wrong there as both versions used the iconic theme song. The SNES used the very first iconic theme music and the SEGA used the other inconic music the second one of Scooby Do Where Are You.
