The Great Console War: The Story of Sega vs Nintendo (Complete Series)

What’s that song during part 3? I know it, I just can’t place it.

Sega never have a chance to compete vs Nintendo 💯

Sega channel was the first and best game pass

Mini systems are awesome I buy every one they release

The dude's name isn't "Rossin"

Rose-inn

Wow this is comprehensive 👌

The Sega Genesis was the best thing that happened to Sega... Unfortunately, it was also the worst

I love how this man isn’t on any side he’s just the narrator

Can't believe this awesome piece of work has so few likes. People, if you liked this, leave a like.

I still don't get why you Yanks say SAYGA its clearly SEGA with an E sound not A

maybe sega shouldn't have tried supporting four consoles at once. other than the disaster that was the 32x, sega shot themselves in the foot releasing sonic 3d blast on the genesis instead of keeping it a saturn exclusive.

You know, this industry is not well served with limited companies competing. You should see the animation with the Genesis committing Hari Kari because the SNSE is so mighty and powerful. N want to fan the flames of this war indefinitely. Why? Because it is the line being drawn between cheap fluffy endless sequels with no gameplay and the best game designers who ever worked in the industry who hate sequels.

There's so many of these videos about this precise topic and they are all N biased. What does that tell you. Pure force of media control drives N sales and nothing more.

Great video! One clarification though: Donkey Kong for the Game Boy in 1994 wasn't a port of the arcade game. It was an all new action puzzle game with new moves and mechanics. Adaptations of the four arcade Donkey Kong levels served as a prologue of sorts before getting to the main levels of the game.

Sonic CD is terrible. I think it has an animated intro video; I don't remember cut scenes.

The original game gear sonics were master system ports SMH

Mortal Kombat for the snes pissed off gamers and there was no exception for it to be the worst version Sega genesis mortal kombat version win all the gamers over and nintendo got pissed and was trying sue for there lost

Those were golden days

That sure is one way to say subsidiary.

This is such an INCREDIBLE video, so in depth and full of video footage of games. I was lucky enough the have the Genesis and the SNES, but I was more of a Sega fan, as I had the Sega CD as well as the 32x, and then the Saturn and Dreamcast. My next Nintendo Console I owned was 25 years or so later, the Nintendo Switch.

I remember kids actually getting into fights over Sega Vs Nintendo in elementary school. It was almost like rival gangs it was wild. Sega always had that cool guy mystique to it. If you had a Genesis with mortal combat, you were the cool kid. Yeah donkey Kong was awesome, but Knuckles was cool. More kids were talking about Knuckles than DK at the time. What a great moment in history that was. I'll always be team SEGA.

Great job

I was on nintendo said

Can't believe they didn't considered Altered Beast a hit. It's one of the best games of all times imo

TBH Comix Zone was a flop due to piss poor marketing. One of the greatest games ever.

Mario RPG was amazing ngl. Enough to where I'd turn my N64 off to play my Super Nintendo

I didn't know you could fight Spiderman AND Batman in Shinobi...

Sega inferior games console inferior games the only thing they made that was special was Sonic the Hedgehog

Sega Technical Institute (STI)

I'm not sure how starting with 2 years of advance on every market and still finishing second overall is "almonst winning". It means that Sega was fighting a defensive battle for the whole time both consoles were available on the market.
As for Europe: I won't contest the official numbers but being born in Belgium in '77 and moved to Germany in '94, i've never met anyone owning a Mega Drive. Yet I came across plenty of people who owned a Super Nintendo. The first time I encountered a Mega Drive outside of a store was in Boarding School around '96 and no one really used it while the Super Nintendo was still heavily played despite the Playstation being there too.

ROSE-N bit h, say his name right ho

Thanks for showing us how proud and brave you are with your painted nails. Bravo.

why do you mispronounce EVERY NAME? unwatchable

Nintendo games will never be playable on Playstation and Xbox lmao. What have you been smoking?

From jump you KNOW this is trash. LOL! Sega did NOT produce Bayonetta, you gump!

The PUBLISHED it.

Awesome video, thank you for putting so much time and effort into this - we have put a link to it on our website as well. Looking forward to more of your video's!

Thank you DD for the History lesson I really enjoyed it I didn't Even know such a war between different Consoles existed

STI means something different now.

I played both systems.They were both fun

Yesterday I finally got have both the Genesis and Super Nintendo

So Sega was founded as an American company

His name is Nakayama, not Nakayami. Great Video! But the way you said his name hurt my ears!

Indeed....and EVERYONE who was on one side or the other, eventually went to the other side, and tried that console, usually years later...and discovered the depth and quality of that competitor's library and has since developed a Love and respect for their formal rival.

Many times gamers find classics on the ''other'' system that re arrange their top 10! That's because the Genesis and the SNES complimented each other perfectly and if you have BOTH...you have the Full Bodied 16-Bit experience.
