I wanted to give him shit for doing a "Youtube reviewer drinks from comically large bottle" joke in 2020, but then he committed to the bit enough to actually make it funny.

The SNES did have a slower processor than the Genesis. Best example: play the ports of Out of this World aka Another World. The SNES version has nicer sound but horrible slowdown that can fuck you. The Genesis port has worse sound but no slowdown.

SNES had a better video card or whatever they call it back then and yeah the SNES sound chip was fucking amazing and I did find it better than the N64 in some games. Funny enough the guy who created the sound chip for the console happened to be the same guy who helped to create the Playstation.

I consider all Genny games which use the "black bathroom tile" backgrounds in the box art to be pretty early. At any rate, the system came out in NA in '89, Ecco came out in 1992, and the system continued getting regular releases until '96 or so, so I think that qualifies as "early-ish."

The grid cases were used for most of the system’s life, 4 of the 6 years it got real support, so that’s a really poor delineator. Holiday ‘93 was the system’s 4th holiday season, well into development timelines and past the point where techniques and tools for developing on the hardware were fully mature. The only notable technical advancement past that point was Vector Piece Animation, which was in. Ectorman 1 and 2 at the tail end of the generation, so Ecco was not an “early Genesis game” unless you don’t know what you’re actually talking about,

I think people don't understand that genesis didn't start head-to-head with snes.

1988 genjp
1989 gen
1990 snesjp
1991 snes <--nostalgia solidifies the decade
1992 ecco

So we're seeing a lag in perception because most people associate genesis with the 90s and with the snes, but the actual timeline is kinda crazy.

The end of the Ecco review was hilarious.

Also, I noticed in some frames his bald spots are way more obvious now. My 71 year old father has more hair than James.

Possible unpopular opinion but I don't think the looks of any of those pre-rendered 3D sprite games have aged well. And I'm including the Genesis ones when I say that so that's not just a fanboy thing.

What does Holiday '93 have to do with anything? Or four out of six years? Are you saying the Genny only had a four-year lifespan? And Vectorman did some neat tricks but are you really going to say that Genny innovation ended there and Toy Story, Virtua Racer, and Red Zone never happened?

I'm guessing you're a zoomer who didn't live through these years. Clearly you are the one who has no idea what you're talking about.

They have aged absolutely terribly in the category of graphical warfare which was the context they were created in. But as a dated mode of expression they totally have thier own little niche and while I was hype-then-quickly-sick of them then, now I enjoy them as they are.

Mario RPG [snes] and Clock Work Knight [saturn] are highlights of that sub-genre.

Wow, your reading comprehension is utter shit. Are you ESL, or just retarded?

I said 4 out of 6 years, as in the Genesis had solid support, i.e. more than just EA annual sports games for 6 years. (It got Madden until 98, but that was just Madden 96 with roster updates. Same shit for FIFA if you’re a eurofag.)

Also, I had a Genesis when I was in high school, so I’d be about the oldest zoomed on the planet.
