Console Wars - Super Bomberman vs Mega Bomberman - Super Nintendo vs Sega Genesis 

If you liked it, try the rest of SNES games. They are MUCH better than the first one

And it shows in your work my friend, great stuff.

What !? I remember there was an app that allowed net play on certain emulators. There was always people down to play Super Bomberman 2 (Or Tetris Attack) and I loved it. Bomberman games are great fun with friends especially if you can get 3 other people to play.

Wow really well I hope you like it

The games were fun in itself. It's a shame Super Bomberman 3-5 never left Japan, but had a plus playing the sequels on Emulators. I never new there was a Genesis Bomberman game which blew my mind! It looked fun was well. Another great episode!

I see you have good taste in RU-vid channels.

something seems off...did he get a haircut or something? Ah well definitely the same grainy whiny voice that's for sure...so it must be him

No, That Dan Bulich.

You beat me to it.. im not a fan either lol. Very whiny indeed.

@@unclepaul1995 What?? That's _Dan??_ It is not Dan!

I agree.

Thanks for the kind words!

Fo Sho

@@ConsoleWars and they take time to respond to the fans. I feel at home here. Thanks for the travel through time.

a little while ago i got suggested one of their old videos and i was absolutely ecstatic when i realized they were still uploading regular content

it's the lack of EPIC raid shadow legends content

Simple editing and random fun woth facts. They are enjoying youtube. Not making it a big puppet business.

This is true. It really feels like 2007 - 2009 youtube.

Hah, That'd be awesome

Maybe they could save that for a What's the Difference episode about Mega Bomberman on Genesis and Bomberman 94 on Turbografx.

Then Bomberman CD could take the win.

Actually, I was kind of hoping for “Xbox 360” to show up so they could take a swipe at Bomberman: Act Zero.

@@pokepress Act Zero was on the original Xbox. The 360 HD release was fairly solid.

Awesome!

Me too, message to the channel's owners: You guys are probably going to get world famous the More impressions you guys do of celebrities.

Super SWIV vs Mega SWIV next?

Welcome to the channel!

Thank you!

It's not. I have no idea what happened when porting to the SNES, but somehow it seems it could not handle the animation so they left the scrolling out. Even the MD is having a hard time to cope with all the little details that happened on Bomberman 94, so they left out half of the animations. At least the MD version scrolls.

My favorite Louie is purple

Yup my bad

Thank you!

@@ConsoleWars Your welcome. I actually wanted to do entertaining content like this tho im camera shy but can act ironically but youtube is very intimidating for newcomers to get their foot in. But if you strike gold with that one thing you have to keep on doing it which is kinda sad. In some of my other favourite youtubers I always give encouragement that they can be free to try other styles or one game series specific channel can talk about others.

I feel like if Graphics & Presentation were combined into a single category, many of the wins would shift across both systems.

although genesis music really sucks. if it had the snes great tunes, it would be awesome

Whoops. I'll fix that!

Saturn Bomberman is actually a different bomberman game, but from what i heard, it was going to be a remake of Bomberman '94/Mega Bomberman, but eventually became a different (but also really great) bomberman game.

I’m with you. My wife and I still enjoy playing 3-5 and 94. They just have so much character.

Super Bomberman 3 did come out in PAL regions, I played the crap out of it. So that one at least is available in English and would have been a better comparison.

Don’t have to go that far. Just Super Bomberman 2 would’ve been already a better choice for this episode, especially because it released closer to Mega Bomberman and it actually got an English release.

Even though I liked Super Bomberman 3-5, I missed the bigger, multi-screen levels of Super Bomberman 2. I know single screen levels are kind of a Bomberman tradition, but I think the Bomberman games that have bigger levels show a little more variety.

Please a video of The Jungle Book SNES & Genesis

Good to know

And I have to say it would have been fairer to compare SB3 and MB, because they're closer games at gameplay and graphics. I know the third SB was released in Europe, but... Anyway, a good episode as always

@@jamesytez6639 They should, I also thought SB3 should been used in this episode since they used the same engine.

True

No.

That was the first time I'd ever seen the US boxart for the mega drive version. The UK definitely got the better version on that one.

Super Bomberman 4 i'd disagree, due to slowdowns that are a lot more present with all 5 players, and also, the movement is not quite fluid. Super Bomberman 5 improves over this and balances the mechanucs better than super 4 does. Although Bomberman '94 (also known as Mega bomberman and bomberman '08) is my favorite, it has less content, but it still feels smoother to move bomberman there. When i consider this, i'd Super Bomberman 5 and Bomberman '94/Mega Bomberman are the best options for battle mode for their time.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks!

Both games are real winners. Bomberman 4 President!

Yeah SNES version is a true classic nevertheless. And was my introduction to the franchise < 3

@@ChaoticHoly Many Afghanistan families would say he's already president lol

@@Vulpas Mean lol

Exactly my thoughts

They tend to compare first with first, even when there is only one in a particular system

@@DGFTardin ah I hadn't realized that!

To be fair, Mega Bomberman is a port of Bomberman 94, which was released in 1993

Those games were donated to us so that's what we compared

Well James does admit that he has the most sentimental value for the SNES since that's what he had as a kid. It's largely why I prefer the Genesis. I don't remember him making any videos that were supposed to be unbiased comparisons of games on different systems, so I don't see it as a big deal.

@@chitlitlah Actually his SNES vs Genesis vídeo is umbiased since SNES is a better console. About Castlevania he just had preference for one game over the other.

@@josemarques131 I forgot he made that. It wasn't an AVGN episode though. Also, it's Genesis > Turbografx > SNES.

@@josemarques131 Nah. For example, he dismisses BlastProcessing as pure marketing, ignoring that in fact Genesis games tend to have better framerate and more sprites in screen at once. The term is marketing, of course, but there was a tangible advantage of being a faster console overall behind that, and that's what Sega wanted to highlight with the advertisement. Not understanding something so simple shows a little fan blindness from AVGN in my opinion.

@@pepegrillo9722 I find that fan biased beliefs that Genesis has better performance kinda funny lol for sure come from people that don't know much and learn about videogames in sega fan channels though.

Awesome thanks!

I did not know that. Guess I got beat the game again

That might be something cool for them to try on the livestream.

?? from what I remember Bomberman offers his Rooi a ride on the jet and Rooi shakes his head like "I aint gettin' on no plane" and then the ending continues as normal, love that ending music though, it's got that Japanese/rave thing going on like Shinobi

Thank you so much!

Thanks for the kind words!

Thanks bud!

Glad you enjoyed it!

@@ConsoleWars Thanks. :) Have you guys done Aero the Acrobat?

Thank you!

Thanks so much! We feel blessed when we get such nice comments!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Same. This was the first time i ever played a Bomberman game

Yay!

And a PS1. So it's Saturn Bomberman vs Bomberman 64 vs Bomberman World or Party Edition.

@@RitzLazyArtist true, but they'd need someone else to be Sony. Dibs.

@@lightofhonor89 They have no plans to expand the show to 32-bit through votes for a Playstation guy candidate yet though.

I remember when I bought a Multitap just to play PS1 Bomberman with 5 players. Epic crazy

@@RitzLazyArtist hence the some point. My Patreon dollars are me investing in the future 🤣

You literally described my thoughts! I completely agree with your opinion.

Mega Bomberman is a port of a PC Engine game, Bomberman 94, and it's actually better on the PC Engine (like it has 5 player multiplayer instead of 4 players like on the SNES and Mega Drive). So I wouldn't say mega bomberman is unique, because it looks and plays exactly like the PC Engine version. It's just a port. Not its own game.

lol

Not formulaic at all!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Glad you enjoyed it!

That was the commercial for Bomberman 64.

Yeah, there are also censorships and color/sprite differences. If you're playing Super Bomberman for Snes make sure it's the japanese version

lol omg jap super bomberman has an intro so that evens up the odds. never knew that. thats cool. and besides the other bombermans get better and are better on the snes. sadly all jap exclusives tho after bomberman 2. and the gameplay is simple in every bomberman game. exception being bomberman 64 and those games on nintendo 64. so thats kinda biased. mega bomber is a port of turbografx game. which was epic. played both and love both tho so im sure if snes got it it can do the same if given the chance..

@@ssppeeaarr The third Super Bomberman got a European release, but not in North America. I dunno why...

@@Diddy64wii ya i heard about that. wish it got released for usa too. since that was when the series got a design overhaul and took more elements from bomberman 94 n mega. with included the louies. just amazing on snes. we got our turbo port at least lol. sad i only learned of it years later on emulation. that game would have been a much more fair comparison in this video.

Thanks so much!!

Totally not formulaic!

I know. I'm so bad with the audio. The voiceovers and live stuff are different. I need a better mic for my camera

@@ConsoleWars When you're editing your videos, see if you can find an option to normalize the audio. That basically brings audio peaks down and valleys up. Making the volume more consistent. A better microphone would be great, but the issue I'm talking about is purely with editing. Content is amazing regardless though.

Thanks!

@@ConsoleWars Seriously, you guys have become my favorite YT series. I love the time and effort you put into each episode, I love that every episode has a story, and I love the recurring characters and in-jokes. You guys are great!

Thanks, you too!

Genesis wins in cartridge size due to the mapper built-into the board, animation frames, number of voiceovers, and control layouts

Glad you enjoy it!

Glad to help after a rough day of work!

I have '94 for the PC Engine. It was the first game I picked up. I absolutely love it, and 5 player with the multitap is a blast. I think it beats Super Bomberman in both color and sound, the PC Engine looks and sounds better than the Genesis in my opinion. For the SFC, Super Bomberman 4 is the best in my opinion, though 5 is also great. I don't own that one, but I.....have ways to play it. I do, however, own Saturn Bomberman, and it's by far the best. I only have 1 multitap, so 7 players is the max, but that's always been plenty.

Bomberman '94 is also my favorite, i dont quite agree Super 4 being the best when it comes to battle mode

Thank you for your support and welcome! I hope you enjoy it!

That means you spoiled it to everyone! Thanks so much! I already know the next episode!

@@GamerFunOriginallyAarush The hints can be easy to figure it out sometimes buddy because there is a hint at the end of every episode that is why I guess the hint right!

@@GamerFunOriginallyAarush big spoilers? Haha does not matter.

@@rozrulez Huh! Nice!

@@hectorthecartoonandvideoga9328 Nice!

You forget that SNES destroys the Genesis with the Holy Four... Super Metroid, Final Fantasy 3 (FFVI), Chrono Trigger, and Link to the Past.

Thanks so much

Couldn't agree more

It would have been total unfair. BM94 is the best Bomberman ever. It is just perfect. More colours, way better animation with tons of little details added, and the OST is bonkers. The MD soundtrack is very limited in comparison.

@@2kBofFun the snes bombermans are epic. especially the later games. the genesis did well considering its sucessor on the turbografx. its a decent port. its great but i think saturn bomberman takes the title for the best 90s bomberman game. but i still enjoy the games on other consoles like turbo and snes and genesis. even the handheld gba ones are pretty neat.

@@ssppeeaarr The Snes versions were prety bad. Ugly graphics, no scrolling worlds, so-so music. Saturn Bomberman is just very very similar to BM94, as if Hudson finally agreed on a decent non PCE version after the demise of the platform. It is in no way better. Well ok, the bass sound is fuller and deeper, but on the other hand the music is a little less catchy and the unicorn hamsters are a strange offspring to the kangeroos in BM94. And the 10 player battle? Come on, who has 9 friends to play with? And the tiny sprites and lack of atmosphere ruin the battle experience.

@@2kBofFun abit biased for the turbogfx bomberman. which is fine. its a an epic game. lol. but to put down the snes games is dishonest! with super bomberman 3 on snes actually taking more influence from the turbo and mega bomberman. it had the intros. after stage animations. and even had the louies and had graphical downgrade to fit those games aesthetic. i prefer the look of super bomberman and 2. but super bomberman 3 that particular game would have been more fair to use in this console war vid. its basically snes port of bomberman 94. showin that stuff can be done on snes as well. and also the tunes from all snes bombermans are catchy and great. they suite the game worlds and set the atmosphere. u prob just hate snes bro. lol. and saturn bomberman which is considered by many fans of the series to be the best iteration of the genre. the iconic intro movie and music. the graphics are gorgeous. the stages are amazing and have extended parts have amazing animations. the music is atmospheric to each world. the samurai world for example. then the louies are absent here but instead we get dino like louies. which is cool dare say better then louies. lmao. its not a deal breaker. but they have similar powers so its not that a big deal. also something i enjoy'd was the master mode. also bomberman is dress like goku. lol its epic. but ya to each his own. i have tons of fav bomberman games. its hard to pick one as best of em all. but saturn bomber is deff in top 3. along with bomberman 94 and dreamcast bomberman.

Awesome! Get better!

Welcome to the channel. We're all about embracing our cheeseyness

you have just reminded me of bombergirl again and i will never forgive you
