Console Wars - Strider vs Run Saber - Sega Genesis vs Super Nintendo 

Strider was one of the games that made the genesis the go get system in 1990. Right before Sonic, and the rest is history

"I live in the future. Not. Star. Wars." hilarious line delivery

I thought Strider had better graphics

I actually thought strider had the better soundtrack, it may not have fit the on screen action perfectly but that's part of what set it apart, it had a very sparse and unique soundtrack wheras run saber seemed to emulate other games of the time.

Interesting: I hadn't even heard of Run Saber until now.

Really? The graphics are the best part about strider and so much better.

Both are great games but I personally like strider

Ha, ha, ha, ha That ending was random! and I can't stop laughing. I wasn't prepared for that.

Tough one... I like both games, but I'd have to go with Strider because it has so many unique and quirky design choices. Capcom took risks with it and it really stood out at the time it was released in arcades. Run Saber feels more like a generic side-scrolling platformer with Strider influences. While it's more polished, they definitely took the safe route with it. 25+ years after it was released, a lot of people still remember Strider and it's still an influential game. The same can't be said of Run Saber. Another great video guys!

You can't RUN in RUN Saber... but in Strider you can...!!! (LOL irony)

Despite the flaws with the inconsistent sound effects and framerate drop in Strider, I still think it's a better game due to it's interesting and atmospheric sound track and it's unique level design which was very ambitious for 1989.

You guys do a good job of making the videos not just about your reviews, but about your skits as well. I always want to stick around to see the end of the skits.

really always wanted to check out run saber and now definitely will have to. great video fellas!

Sunset riders may be better, but strider is still without a doubt one of the best games on the genesis.

Oh god that outtake at the ending! "Maybe he needs a hug... like this..."

great video guys, always find it relaxing to watch you guys before bed

Great video! I like the fact that these games are no ports of the same game, just games which are pretty similar in style. Hope to see more of this!

Guys this channel is a great mix of nostalgia, comedy, overall goofiness, and i can see yalld personality shine through. Similar feeling i get from watching avgn. thanks for the hours of content guys

Strider is a classic; Run Saber is a bizarre boring game forgotten.

One of my favorite channels. Always Get super pumped when I see a new vid.

71 videos already? Brilliant!! you guys keep the quality and ignore the haters. Your content is always worth the wait!!!

I hope you guys never change. Keep it up being awesome.

Fun episode. Nice to see Run Saber succeed in improving on things since it did come later. I was aware of Run Saber, but never played it, so good to see more of it. I liked the part where Greg kept saying mode 7 over and over without actually explaining anything. I especially liked when he suggested self-cleaning rice cookers. That would be a future I'd like to see.

Nice review! You guys should really upload more often. Your videos keep getting better all the time.

As a kid the music and sound effects always stood out to me in Strider. To this day its still cool.

Really nice episode guys.

Another great episode guys, doesn't bother me that they are not very frequent as long as we get one it's great. Keep up the good work. Also would you consider comparing Flashback? Not sure how different each version is but would be interesting to see. (Also maybe Another World too)

Way to go guys, another great video. Keep up like this.

Another great video guys! ya'll deserve 300x the subscribers you have now!

Awesome that you'll be covering the game I recommended in your Mickey Mania episode. I be looking forward to it!

always great when a new video is on my subscriptions list :)

As fun as this episode was, Run Saber just doesn't hold a candle to Strider, let alone the arcade version of Strider. Run Saber can't even touch Cannon Dancer Osman, Capcom's Strider 2, or Moon Diver.

Hey what program do you guys use to stitch your videos together? greatly appreciated! Keep up the good work! Please do Desert Strike SNES vs Genesis!!!

The ending was great. love your vids guys.

another great video guys. keep up the great work!!!

You guys are getting better and better with each video. :D

great episode guys.

I think the music fits perfect in Strider. Look at the Siberian stage for example, the first part, when you are fighting the wolves, is perfect for the enviroment of the stage.

Awesome video, guys! Really want to try out Run Saber in co-op now.

Haha the dog at the ending was funny as hell XD

Love your videos guys! Keep it up! I request Spider-man/Venom: Maximum Carnage or Separation Anxiety. Mortal Kombat 3.

I laughed so much. Great video!

I agree actually, on all points... and this is coming from the dude who has a Strider arcade cab haha. Strider rules and I'll always be a fan, but Run Saber improved on it, in almost every way. This was a really good one guys!

Fuck yeah more console wars always happy to see this pop up in my feed 👍🏼

Strider was released over a year before the SNES and almost four years before run saber. At that time, the Genesis was just trying to compete with NES. This was a good episode, just not very fair.

Boogerman - A Pick and Flick Adventure

awe man i missed this episode... always loved run saber... miss u guys. keep em coming.. tonevs

Love your work, I would love to see link to the part vs beyond oasis video

“Leonard Geer? Solid” I never realised this until now XD

Missssss you guys come backkkk

I loved Run Saber - a mix of many things (Strider being the main) made it a good classic-style platformer. I always kinda wished they'd make a sequel. Another cool, random thing I figured out by accident on Run Saber was color swap: pause the game and press select and you'll swap through a decent number of different color schemes for the characters. This was especially cool for 2 player mode as a way to add personality to your play.

I bet you are going to upload the next episode just in time for the halloween. You should compare Earthworm Jim 2 in the future.

😂 Did that dog just hump his arm 🙋, great channel, you deserve more subs.

goddammit your videos are so damn good you should have like 500,000 subs, but oh well some people don´t recognize good youtube shows.

But Mode 7!! Never heard of Run Saber, definitely need to check it out after this. Great episode guys!! Also....loved the Simpsons reference

bullshit the music of Strider fit perfectly. the music starts for the next scene. Awkward transition might be the only thing that was correct but those music changes fit what is needed. Like running down the hill and making the jump. awesome moment that connects with the music.

Awesome video mates! I once again suggest Q*Bert 3 on the SNES and Mega Q*Bert on the Genesis. :)

You guys ever thought about the Retrovision video cables. I just got one for the Genesis, and hooked it up to a flat screen CRT with ygb input; the difference in video is astounding.

Loved the video as always guys, but I gotta ask, how is it that you've been doing this for almost 5 years and still haven't covered a single shmup? Shmups were a big genre in the 16-bit days and I'd love to get your take on one. Some good shmups to compare are: -Thunder Force III (Genesis) vs. Thunder Spirits (SNES) -Sagaia (aka Darius II, Genesis) vs. Darius Twin (SNES) -MUSHA (Genesis) vs. Space Megaforce (SNES) - both are part of the Aleste series -Raiden Trad (Genesis) vs. Raiden Trad (SNES)

Ustedes son geniales, amo sus videos. Buen trabajo.

great review guys, thanks to your video I am now aware of run saber good stuff...loved the Simpson's treehouse of horror reference btw ha!

That was a surprise verdict. Good video

Great video. Love ya guys.

how about earthworm jim 2 snes vs genesis?

You should do TMNT Tournament Fighters.

Wow, really impressing how much you improve with every episode - this is great!

For December only: Home Alone 2. Which version is the worst?

Oooooooooh, you guys are going to subject yourselves to Bram Stoker's Dracula, aren't you? My heart goes out to you both.

Glad with the results. Great job once again, fellas.

You guys should be a lot more popular than you are. Love the show! Keep up the good work!

AWESOME INTRO !!!! =D

I'm pretty sure that those usbs are microsd adapters that come with r4 cards (ds cart with microsd card slot used mainly for piracy and homebrew)

Speaking of Arcade ports, I would like to see a Console Wars episode for the shootem-up Thunder Force 3 for the SEGA Genesis and Thunder Spirits for the SNES. Its the same game with subtile differences.

you guys should compare super mario brothers are the snes and genesis. who did it better?

Please, any popular SNK port, like Fatal Fury, Art of Fighting or Samurai Shodown.

I think you guys did the right thing, about settling a video game argument. Before the saving the future.

please make more videos you do a great job reviewing games from two of the best systems of all time

Loved the Simpsons gag, and the ending skit was freakin' hilarious! I laughed my ass off! Being a huge Strider fan and growing up with the game, I kept thinking, "no way" after Strider lost category after category. I had never played Run Saber before, so I couldn't disagree, but I do admit, Strider does have its problems--the arcade version included. The controls are finicky as hell, it slows down a LOT, the voices are all kinds of weird and "off"--but man, does it have some killer tunes and graphics! I tried Run Saber on an emulator after watching your video and got through most of stage one before the game glitched out on me. It does seem pretty cool, so I'll definitely need to play through it some more, but from what I had played, I'd still say Strider has better graphics and music (I'm a sucker for late '80s Capcom arcade music). I dig the big sprites of Strider and I really like that it has a ton of songs throughout the game. I wish Run Saber wasn't so damned expensive, but I think I'm gonna need to pick up a copy.

Have you guys done Micro Machines 2?

I love the huge sprites in Strider.

Please, can you do Gradius III vs Arrow flash?

Nice work as always guys, nice Simpsons quote btw guys 😜

Good job getting a picture with Billy Mitchell xD

Lol!!!! I always laugh with your videos, I can't.

Love this episode

Aside from the video game comparisons, you guys material is genius. Smarr and funny as shit!

Keep up the good work!

Huge fan of both games, and yes, Run Saber perfected the Strider formula to beautiful extents. Love it so much.

Super Bomberman for SNES vs. Mega Bomberman for Genesis

Another great job, men. The next game should be Tecmo Super Bowl since we're in the heart of football season.

Oh nice, definitely gonna have to try Run Saber out at some point, considering how much I enjoyed Strider when I played through it.

Run Saber is a great game, but Strider is a classic. Wing Commander SNES vs. Sega CD! Also ask Johnson if there's still Yuengling in the future and if the monkeys can be specifically trained to get it.

Nice Simpson/South Park References haha. I'll always stick by Strider because of MvsC and MvsC2

I've heard of Strider, but never played it. Run Saber I've never heard of at all, but it looks really fun. I may have to pick both of these up at some point. Also, LMAO @ the way how the "Johnson's" were teleporting in. 19:37 "Hey look! He bought the flash drive. We can still save the future! Ehhhh!!!!!!" - Lol!

Strider is the best. My fav game of all time below SF2.

do some VS special of any game of terror for halloween?

i got an idea how about tmnt tournament fighters snes vs genesis

Wow I never played Run Saber and I was for sure that Strider would win , great video as usual I will give Run Saber a shot !

The Dog hump at the end is hillarious.... anyone got a clue about what the next episode is?

from México i love your work guys
