Console Wars - Cool Spot - Super Nintendo vs Sega Genesis

I'm Nintendo time Sega this is Casa war [Music] come on jump jump are you kidding me ah man I can't believe some of these negative comments from our videos what are you gonna learn can't let that negative stuff get to you but they're saying we're not cool what who said that I'll kill it's a lot of people look at this these guys aren't cool those are some uncool guys what does four thumbs and is not cool these guys a bunch of strangers on the Internet don't think we're cool there's only one thing to do accept it be ourselves and move on what no we need to figure out what they think is cool and do that okay let's figure out how to be cool maybe a can Hill oh it's a cool spot what are you doing here oh you know down down they'll beat what me be cool I also make sure people have plenteous we're good we have plenty of sprite hmm what'd you say we have plenty of beer I mean so how can we be cool hmm what about filming in another location I feel like mom's basements kind of lame I have an idea what if we filmed in like a Japanese super sized fortress did you just say Japanese suicide forest no I said Japanese super-sized fortress okay filming in the Japanese suicide forest would be dumb really dumb what kind of idiot would film there okay then well since we're stuck here I battle these plans of bin G gives alright let's play cool spot yeah that's a pretty good game for Sega Genesis no definitely better for the Super Nintendo that's it are we doing this I don't know do you want to have a console wars it is the name of the show so yeah best cool spot cool spot is a 1993 action platformer developed and published by virgin games the main character of the game is a 7up mascot this isn't his first game and it wouldn't be his last the cool spot games were released for Game Boy Game Gear Sega Master System amiga and das but the versions were looking at today we're the ones released for Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis these two games are almost identical but there are some notable differences so which one's better let's find out [Music] first glance these games look identical this games have all the same looking levels they also have all the same looking characters side-by-side it can be difficult to tell these games part but the Sega game does look better check out this level on Sega but cut the clouds to scroll while you stand still doesn't do that in the Super Nintendo game and the water on this level and Sagan moves again doesn't do that in the Super Nintendo game no way my graphics are definitely better let's talk about something that actually matters color the Super Nintendo game is a lot more colorful look at these balloons all these different colors you can also see through them in on Sega just one color and you can't see through them boring and it's not just objects but enemies to the worms in this level come in many different colors on Super Nintendo and on Sega again just one color enemies are more colorful on Super Nintendo if you like bland then just keep playing the Sega game yeah color is important but it's not as important as screen resolution once again as is the case with most of these 16-bit identical games resolution on Super Nintendo is reduced get this super cropped version you don't see the whole picture you see everything on Sega ok my game is cropped but it still looks better let's look at the levels look at the toy store levels side by side the Super Nintendo game looks sharper the Super Nintendo game has colorful blocks with letters on Sega they're just blocks of wood and on this Super Nintendo level you have a cool vignette effect how does that look on Sega nothing what's the matter can't vignette Sega and when you revisit levels later they change on Super Nintendo they don't change at all on Sega and the bonus level definitely looks better on Super Nintendo just look at all that bubble action pretty picture indeed you know what's cool tattoos you boys got any ink yeah I got a tattoo in my favorite movie star wars a new hope nice oh that's nothing I got a better tattoo Empire Strikes Back sweet you both have Star Wars tats I got one two of my favorite the Phantom Menace well no it's better than attack the clones oh I got that one too [Music] you have tattoos ooh both do you have any other Star Wars tattoos no just those two they're my favorites huh well back to the game mine has more details the Super Nintendo game has more details like the Walkman on this level it doesn't exist on Sega also when you collect a spot on Super Nintendo you see a little spark this is helpful to let you know you've got spots behind objects it doesn't do that at all on Sega there's no denying my game just looks better overall with better use of colour better looking levels and more detail best graphics go to Super Nintendo [Music] [Music] Sega game has some excellent presentation coolspot has some fun with the Sega logo in the opening it's not as cool on Super Nintendo he also drags out the version logo on Sega doesn't happen on Super Nintendo logos let's compare the HUD when you look at the HUD side-by-side you'll notice the Super Nintendo there's a lot more colorful different colors for all the different numbers bit boring on the Sega HUD talk about the endings the ending on Sega has you surrounded by your buddies you save then the credits scroll up a Super Nintendo you get an ending telling you to try the hard mode I hate endings that do this get the good ending by beating the game on hard and collecting all the letters in the bonus levels it's all for this contest that doesn't even exist anymore unless somebody wants to try it out so you got to try a little harder let's talk about something everyone sees the openings here's the opening on Sega you see cool spot surfing you might think it looks cool until you see the Super Nintendo opening now that surfing looks so much cooler than Sega's well dying is a lot cooler on snooger when you die in Sega you see the icon with the number of lives fall off the HUD doesn't do that on Super Nintendo also when you get a game over you have a background there's no background on Super Nintendo what about your typo the name of this level on Super Nintendo is off the wall put on Genesis it says off the wall how lame is Ed even the Genesis instruction manual calls it off done in the wall that can't be right let me check the Super Nintendo manual what the heck who let this happen I tell you honey I really knocked out of the park with this once that's right there'd be a little bonus and we'll finally be able to afford little Jennie that oh hold on boss call me back later hey Jim what's going on yeah that was me mm-hmm off the wall yeah yeah into wall okay off the wall no that's Jim I can explain no no no no Jim calm down there's no reason to say that no no no no no I need this job you can't Jim Jim sorry little Jenny looks like I'll have to get you that new liver next year I got dark hair it did looks like we can't agree on presentation agreed does this mean tie with minor differences that don't make either game stand out presentation is a tie [Music] we both have the exact same soundtrack right but mine is better are you kidding me the music in both games was composed by music legend Tommy Tallarico and his songs definitely work better on Sega listen to these drums it's not as good on Super Nintendo you like drums how about these drums and how are the drums on Genesis oh wait there are no drums overall the music sounds better on Sega just listen how much better these songs are [Music] [Music] that doesn't sound that much better than my here fine let's talk about something that isn't some jerk when you beat a level on Sega you get a little victory music what does that sound like on Super Nintendo [Music] oh that's right there is no music on Super Nintendo why no victory music it's the same song from this level why not use it also wouldn't get enough cool points to beat a level or go to the bonus stage you get some fanfare on Sega you get nothing on Super Nintendo no victory music or fanfare on the Super Nintendo who needs victory music can you imagine if you had to suddenly hear victory music in real life this just in since everybody has victory music everyone is happy all the time we did a humanity we did it I'm not so sure about that now let's compare something that matters sound effects the sound effects sound a lot more clear on Super Nintendo might sound more clear but your games missing some sound effects spot is more vocal on Sega [Music] and other sound effects are missing on Super Nintendo as well like these rubber duckies are these votes I have to admit my game is better sound since the Super Nintendo is missing victory music and sound effects and the Sega Genesis game does have some better tracks best sound goes to Sega Genesis game playing these games is incredibly simpler oh I concur both games play like a typical platformer one button to jump and one button to shoot bubbles if you name your shine eight different directions and sometimes the shot spreads so technically you're able to fire in 16 directions object of the game is to find your buddy's fellow spots once you find them you beat the level you can't just find them though you need to collect a certain number of cool points spread throughout the level every level has 100 cool points the number needed to save other spots depends on the difficulty the same applies to bonus levels which is always a higher number there's no bosses so you just need to collect the cool points survive the enemies and find your buddies a total of 11 levels and 6 different bonus stages overall solid platformer but on closer inspection my gameplay is better let's talk about the cropping again not only does cropping on Super Nintendo make you view less of the level it also makes it harder to play you have to do a lot of platforming in this game cropping the screen makes it hard to see certain platforms there's lots of leaps of faith going on in this game siggi game doesn't run into this problem with a nice view of the playing field the camera moves a lot less so it's a lot less disorient the cropping is not that bad yeah cropping is great I do it all the time and I take selfies on the toilet man I'm looking good today not again speaking wish you guys got any rice well I have something that makes my gameplay better like you said before you can aim in eight different directions only problem is by aiming you also move your character this can be problematic if your enemy is close the Super Nintendo game avoids this problem by letting you aim without moving simply hold down the R button and you can aim freely without moving it makes taking out enemies much easier and you can only do this on Super Nintendo you can still get through the game pretty easily without a stop and aim and you need it because your game is so much harder with enemies all over the levels these games can be difficult luckily on Sega they make it a little easier let's say you get halfway through the level and die every enemy you defeated before you died it doesn't reappear enemies do not respond in the Genesis game ever the Super Nintendo game however responds every enemy no rest from the action ever so if you play the Super Nintendo game do yourself a favor and don't die so my games a little harder what's matter okay Emily that respawning really affects how you play the game on the genesis game you can patiently methodically take out every enemy you come across it's okay if you slip up and die cuz you still made all this progress but Super Nintendo there's really no point taking out every enemy you just want to get from checkpoint to checkpoint and hope you don't die there's a little more discouraging taking out every enemy only to have them respawn it also ruins exploration you need to explore these levels in order to find all the cool points on Sega you can take out every enemy without any worry in Super Nintendo you don't really want to explore respawning enemies mix you just want to stick to the path but you can't stick to the path because you need cool points to get the good ending but respawning enemies makes you not want to do that so it's a vicious cycle it makes it easier to get lost levels aren't exactly linear some can be a bit confusing if you die and start at a checkpoint it can be confusing where to go luckily on Sega it's easy to know where to go if you die just keep going until you see an enemy no respawning enemies lets you know where you've been and where you have it you can't do that with the respawning enemies on Super Nintendo it's closed game play on Sega definitely has the edge even though you can't shoot without moving for easier platforming with no cropping and no responding enemies best gameplay goes to Sega Genesis while both games are incredibly similar one is better that game is cool spot for the Sega Genesis it might not have the colors or details of the Super Nintendo version but it's still a sharp-looking game the presentation is pretty good too at least an ending on the normal difficulty it has better sound with a better soundtrack victory music and more sound effects and it has better gameplay with wider screen for easier platforming and no responding enemies the Super Nintendo game plays fine but when compared to the Sega Genesis game it just has too many issues mostly with the sound and gameplay best cool spot goes to Sega Genesis hey you guys no one else is cool what that was me that was the chair you know I don't think this guy is that cool yeah hey wait a minute this is the time to be checking them out look at his chest something weird is happening oh yeah what do you think that is I'm not sure I'm just gonna go to the bathroom so knock knock who's there banana yeah man who knock knock who's there banana banana again seriously knock knock who's there
