    Default wow....bubsy genesis

    So I have been a nintendo kid since the NES, never a SEGA person until just now.

    I remember playing Bubsy a lot on the SNES. Just got a genesis version and boy what a difference in quality and not in a good way. music and sound are just so inferior to the snes version.

    awesome story that made my day

    take 2: Sunset Riders, Lethal Enforcers, (possibly) Sparkster (totally different game though). Honestly don't know about Bubsy so it is a good thing we were told, why are you mocking my sincerity?!

    take 3: Sonic looks really bad on my SNES for some reason.

    The difference between Bubsy Gen and SNES is not so great when you put it in relative terms.

    What do you mean by Headphone Jack?

    Now I'm really confused. This is getting interesting!

    Mohawk is pretty cool, I'll not let some shit game take down the pride of my people. (Maybe I should game more because the only thing in that post I recognized was SMW, and I haven't even played that one.) Edit: Xardion looks neat. Doubt it's as good as Psycho-Nics Oscar or Hagane but I'll give it a shot.

    Am I the only person here who honestly likes Bubsy?

    Seriously. The first game was good. Not Contra or Konami Tiny Toons good, but hardly the crapfest everyone makes it out to be.

    (The second one, though... *shudder*)

    Okay, if I have to explain the joke(s), I guess I will..

    Mohawk & Headphone Jack is a legendarily bad SNES platformer by TH・Q/Black Pearl. Funny trivia is that one of the EGM staffers, Martin Alessi, contributed to the game, as EGM's offices were in the same building as the developers'. Anyway, it attempts to be a mode-7 showcase, but it's shit anyway.

    Xardion is an uninspiring run-of-the-mill (crap-ish) robot platformer, but it's still 21 notches above Bubsy.

    I think if a game is on both the SNES and GENESIS you should go for the SNES version. The sound alone is the reason. I can play Street Fighter 2 with the L and R buttons on the front of the controller, which some people hate, and I can throw a hadouken with its d pad like I can on the Gen controller.

    Ah, you had "headphone jack" on another line so I wasn't sure if it was all supposed to be one thing.

    Xardion...yeah, I tried it out a bit...it's no Super Turrican, certainly no Run Saber. (And Run Saber could've been considerably better with some appropriate difficulty...)

    I remember reading in Nintendo Power Asmik wanted to turn it into a franchise.
    And yet I think it turned out to be the last game they released in North America.

    (what's more awesome about Xardion is that the Japanese version will try to boot directly into a save game if it exists. Forgot all that BS they put into game intros like publisher logos and um... title screens. )

    Isn't Bubsy generally avoided for both systems?
