Console Wars - The Great Circus Mystery Starring Mickey and Minnie - SNES vs SEGA 

"Deutch" isn't Dutch, but German If it was a Dutch language option, it would say "Nederlands"

The "pump our own gas" line is funnier when you realize that in New Jersey, you don't actually pump your own gas! They have gas station attendants to do that. Plus you can't legally do it yourself.

This episode's build up to “Are we doing this?!” is my favorite so far. You can always hear THOSE exact words!

I admire the fact that you made Mickey and Minnie a married couple. Canonically, they never married, but for nearly twenty years, their voice actors (Wayne Allwine and Russi Taylor, both now passed) did. As a bonus, the last scene had me in stitches, seeing them get violent and vulgar, which is highly unusual.

I love these guys I’ve been watching them for 7 years

"Each level has a boss, and a 'mini' boss." ... I think that was the cause of Mickey and Minnie's relationship troubles.

I prefer the SNES version myself, but hats off to Capcom for delivering an extremely similar experience on both consoles.

The fog on Genesis relied on the CRT blurriness to reduce the dithering.

Thanks for asking me to be part of this, guys! The episode came out great, lots of laughs and a solid comparison of both games. Always nice to see when Genesis and SNES games have more in common and are solid games.

Man i am amazed how the HUD effect is done on the genesis It looks like the mosaic effect on SNES The other instances I have seen it done are castlevania bloodlines and time trax's title screens

The original Magical Quest Starring Mickey Mouse for SNES is one of my most treasured childhood videogames. Had this game not removed the numbered sequel title for the NA release I wouldn’t have skipped it. Dunno if in the end if it was a smart marketing move or not but as far as I’m concerned they missed me by calling this something else. I didn’t learn it was the follow up to a favorite of mine until well into the internet age.

Better Mickey voice than the one in Kingdom Hearts III.

This is the best "last episode of the year" episode! A few unexpected twists at the end, but I love em!! Here's to another year of Console Wars Goodness!!! Looking forward to 2022!!!!

We need more ties in life.

14:52 Yes, finally someone acknowledges the GBA versions of the Magical Quest trilogy. Those are the definitive versions in my opinion

I do think the instrumentation on the SNES version's soundtrack makes it sound more "Disney-ish", and sounds like it would be way more suitable to be in a Disney movie. While the Sega music is fine, I think I prefer the SNES's music. But, hey, personal preference.

I couldn't make it to the premier, but I love this episode because it has everything and I love the SNES version for nostalgia. And it has Dongled and Sam? You two spoil us too much. Hey hey ho happy holidays boys, thank you.

I've been following you guys for 4 or 5 years now, and I'm going back watching some of your older stuff. I still can't believe you aren't at millions of subs... Maybe your sense of humor just aligns with mine, I don't know, but I really feel like you guys are grossly underrated.

Really enjoyed this episode! As I said on Twitter, this game was a cakewalk for Dad and I when we brought it home from Kay Bee Toys. Had the SNES version to keep it in the family with Magical Quest.

Love that opening where you confront each other from opposite hotel rooms 🤣🤣🤣

15:25 As a German I have to tell you the 3rd Language isn´t Dutch, it´s German. We call our Language Deutsch. Like we call Germany Deutschland or us Germans itself as Deutsche. ;-)

Not the only video I've seen lately where someone mistakes Deutsch for Dutch. Awesome video!!

I haven't seen a tie in console Wars since Battletoads & Double Dragon from SNES/Genesis. This is the second tie. Capcom really made excellent ports.

Yes, we all had a thing for Cleo.

The intro was that "public access tv" jank that I love.

I was actually expecting you to say that the SNES has black bar lines at the top & bottom of the screen, leaving it cropped, while you get the full picture on SEGA.

Great episode guys. Love the additional skit material and how you are staying genuine to the core concepts of the genre and channel.

Miketendo or whatever his name is, Deutsch is not Dutch it's the German word for German. But I will say he had a sick Tomb Raider poster on his wall.

We were all into Rescue Rangers.

I got the hint for next episode: Tech-Moe-Super-Bowl Tecmo Super Bowl Ideas: Krusty’s Super Funhouse, Aaahh Real Monsters, and worst versions of Virtual Bart and Shaq Fu

Yo, BEST ENDING EVER!!! Did not see it coming and it was great!!!

Pausing the game in the Mega Drive version does show the score. Not that it makes the game better. Also, the graphics seem brighter on MD. It's usually the other way round.

The opening segment is just bizzare but good funny stuff!!!

I like how the colors on Sega look better.

One of my fave opening sketches you have ever done.

15:27 There is a mistake. The balloons also did appear in the SNES and SEGA version after 30 seconds of silence at the THE END screen. It happens earlier in the GBA version.

@15:25 im going to be that guy but I let out a chuckle with “you can play this game in either English, French or Dutch”. Deutsch isn’t Dutch, it’s how the German language writes the word, well, “German”.

This episode is one I was looking forward to. It's, I think, the only Capcom game that came out on both SNES and Genesis that are the exact same game. I like the colors more on Sega, cause the darker colors aren't washed out like on Nintendo. Mickey has an accurate black coloring to him, whereas on SNES he almost looks grey.

Gotta love how funny those skits are, the scenes with mickey and minnie were great

15:27 "You can choose to play in English, French, or Dutch." "Deútsch" is not Dutch. That's German.

Finally, an SNES vs Genesis Magical Quest 2 episode I asked for! Any plans for another What's the Difference episode featuring the same game but with the SNES vs GBA comparison?

Hey ConsoleWars, great review as always. A little correction though: You said dutch in the language screen part, but its deutsch, which is the german word for german. The pronunciation for the word deutsch is like "doytch".

Awesome episode! Loved the ending!

Always fun to see what games you have a look through and see what gems there are to be uncovered. A good video here with some fun skits and a look at a game that might sometimes go overlooked.

Thumbs up for including Sam!

Great episode !

I loved „The Magical Quest“ but i never played this game. I didn‘t even know it‘s the sequel.

I love how you guys always seem more disgusted to have a tie then when losing any given category lol

The last boss final form appearance is also different. On Genesis, the background goes dark to allow the game to draw in Pete the Dragon, while on SNES Pete sort of mosiacs his way in, looking quite neat in doing so. Own both versions, the entire trilogy on SNES/SFC.

Great episode guys! Keep it up!

15:29 actually the SNES & Genesis has the balloons too, but you have to wait couple minutes on the The End screen THEN they start coming out

Hey guys. "Deutsch" does not mean "dutch" but instead it means "german". Just wanted to point that on the map for avoiding confusion. Stay safe, stay clever and compare further the odds of Sega and Nintendo. 😊👍 I also have a nice suggestion for a video that contains what version is worse. Rise of the Robots. Greetings from Max from Germany. 😉 You guys rock.

Great vid guys! Loved the ending. You two are one of if not THE best video game content creators on RU-vid. Keep up the great work.

Just found out that the Genesis port of Magical Quest 2 is still playable even with a 3-button controller by pushing the C button to select between costumes, then hit START to change into selected costume and hit START again to pause the game.

That plot twist tho. Awesome episode! Happy Holidays!

Awesome episode to close out 2021. I hope you dudes had a great Christmas and have an equally awesome New Year.

This is probably the second time in which both games ended up in a tie with the first episode being "Battletoads & Double Dragon", which is still one of my favorite episodes that I enjoyed.

Alright! This has got to be my most long-awaited episode ever! (Edit: It is, at the very least, one of my most longest awaited episodes!) I actually played the SNES and Game Boy Advance versions of this game via emulation! Also, I've been a fan of Mickey Mouse for many years! Before this came out, I guessed that one reason you didn't do this sooner was because of one major obstacle. That obstacle being that both versions were so similar, that you'd have trouble presenting your comparisons in an interesting and entertaining. Looks like I was right! All things considered, I do admire how you made the most of what you got to compare. I've been hoping you'd find a way to write sketches with Mickey Mouse, partly to hear how one of you would do his voice. I wasn't expecting you to get a guest star to do it. I think he did a decent job. I'm a little disappointed that you just pitched up or sped up Dan or Pat's voice (can't tell which it is) to get Minnie's voice. I was hoping you'd get Dan's wife Sam to do Minnie's voice. That's just a minor nitpick, so don't worry about it. Mickey and Minnie at the start were alright. To me, the part where Mickey and Minnie really shined was at the end! Great work on that ending! I won't give it away, but I totally got that reference! All in all, I think this episode is good. Not great, like The Lost Vikings, one of my favorite episodes, but still good enough! Sorry for the long, rambling comment. I'm just so excited that this episode is finally out, and I want to show my feelings in a detailed manner! This is also my very first comment for a video from this channel. Oh, and I believe I understood the Next Episode Hint: It's "Tecmo Super Bowl "!

Yes!!! New episode!!! Always exiciting!!

I was hoping to see this before Christmas but I guess I'll watch it now :)

8:52 Wait a minute... The score pops up when you pause in the Sega game. Dr. Pepper could have saved his family if he'd only paused the game.

"We dont even know how to pump our own gas." That made me laugh my ass off. I was driving through NJ once and had to stop for gas, and was totally caught off guard that they dont let you pump your own gas. Good stuff.

Loved the episode! They just keep getting better. Also going to check out Dongled's channel.

Thanks for waiting until after Christmas to release this. Never had my phone blow up so much...

Sad thinking about how few episodes pitting SNES vs SEGA Genesis games we have left😭

Thanks for the video, ending was awesome! :D

That ending tho, amazing

Suggestions - SpongeBob: Battle for Bikini Bottom (PS2 vs GameCube) - Tim Burtons Batman (NES vs Genesis) - Castlevania: Shumphomy of the night (PS1 vs Saturn)

Can't believe this is like the first ever tie in the history of Console Wars. UNREAL. This episode makes me feel like I want to own both carts now. It would be worth that purchase. Anyway, can't wait for the long-awaited Tecmo Super Bowl review. I can imagine the intro being quite similar to the ones in Monday Night Football where two football helmets clash against each other. But of course, this is your channel, you do it however you want it, boys. I can totally respect that. ARE YA READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?

Wow… a tie?! That hasn’t happened in a while…. Also THAT TWIST ENDING?! Happy holidays guys! Thanks for continuing to make content that makes everyone’s day better.

Awesome as always! Have you guys thought to do any of the strike games?

20:29 Tecmo Super Bowl

Another great episode! Happy Holidays to you all!

New episode and always good as usual, a perfect Christmas gift to us. :D thank you guys, merry Christmas and a happy new year.

Another great episode guys

Wait! Are we doin’ this!??

It would be pretty cool to see some other platform comparisons on some future episodes. I’d love to see Symphony of the Night PS vs Saturn. As a bonus, you could maybe check out the patched version of the Saturn game which has a ton of fixes to it (since it’s pretty easy to play patched versions these days). Since Nintendo wouldn’t be in that one, it may be cool if you guys even switched sides (unless that could cause confusion haha). Another episode I’d love to see would be comparing Resident Evil for the Saturn against Resident Evil 2 for the N64 to determine which is the better port (since both are originally developed for the PS1, this might be a fun Nintendo vs Sega discussion to see who handled porting better). Keep up the excellent work guys!!

Amazing episode! Bet the next ine is gonna be a touchdown as well

15:28 Yeah you do, they show up after like one minute, atleast in the snes version

That intro was immaculate

Great episode! Happy Holidays

ok I admit you got me with the twist ending there lol, great episode guys it must have been hard to ultimately conclude it the way you did...(don't want to say who won for those who haven't finished watching yet lol)

This is a first for me. It's not often you see this happen with games. Very nicely done. :)

Great vid as always and Merry Christmas!

I was looking forward this episode, an unexpected game for genny, lets see the comparison.

I love this channel! Happy Holidays!

I think there was an old Comic where Minnie did leave Mickey and he spent the rest of the Comic trying to end himself. I don't know if Disney Cannon has Mickey and Minnie Married but I think their Voice Actors were Married. Good Episode Guys.

Great work as always! I’d say Worst Game between Sega and Nintendo: Crash Test Dummies

Someone needs to port a collapsing haunted house section from the Genesis port to the SNES version as a ROM hack to make the SNES version a "director's cut" or a "definitive edition".

Love the show!! Could you guys do Tecmo Super Bowl III: Final Edition, SNES vs Genesis? Keep up the great work!

"Would I get in trouble with PETA?" Brilliant.

Fantastic video as usual...dongled a very good retrogaming youtuber indeed

Awesome a tie! I like seeing that, well done guys!

That ending was pure gold

Graphics seem to be a tie to me. Both seem to have stuff that outdoes the other for different reasons. Presentations are not much different from each other. Presentations are not much different from each other. Sounds are good on both and not much different. Gameplay is slightly different, but you can go either way with it. Can't go wrong with either one. Tie. Tecmo Super Bowl is next.

Great stuff as always, and I loved the ending. It left me imagining what Pulp Fiction would look like if it featured classic Disney characters in the roles, specifically who would be the Marcellus and Zed analogues, because of course that's where my mind would go *first*.

Okay, so this game was my childhood. Not really sure why, but every summer our family found visit friends and us kids would play this game. Absolute nostalgia.

Tecmo Super Bowl. Wait, they made a Sega Version of Tecmo?

Love your channel guys!! You should do a video with Game Sack that would be epic

Thanks guys, good video
