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

Here's some more information on how this series came to be: I read Console Wars by Blake J Harris in late 2018 and fell in love with his storytelling ability as well as the characters of the Super Nintendo vs Sega Genesis era. As I thought about it more and more, I wanted to do my own take on the conflict. Originally I planned on tackling this back in early 2019. After the Final Fantasy XV video, I sat down and started writing the script, only to stop about a paragraph into the second episode. I didn't work on videos again for over a year after that due to various reasons. When I finally got back into the swing of things with the DS series and some other games, I felt ready to tackle this subject once again. Instead I ended up making the Wii U series at the end of the summer last year. My plan was to then work on this series in the fall and winter of 2020, but the birth of my son ended up sucking away all my creative energy. It wasn't until 2021 that I felt like I had the skills to make this. I'm super proud of this video and my next goal is to make a series that's even better than this. I don't know when that video will come, but until then, enjoy my favorite series on the channel: The Great Console War: The Story of Sega vs. Nintendo. Fun Fact: "The Great Console War" is a riff on the youtube channel "The Great War". I originally conceived an idea of covering the series in a more militaristic tone before I really had a strong idea of what my style was. There was even going to be a prologue and epilogue like it was some sort of long forgotten story.

For those of us who have been gaming since the 80's, there were no losers in this war. The real winners were all of us who got the chance to enjoy games from every console/handheld.

And now my SNES and Genesis sit side by side, as brothers of epic gaming, ready to go in my retro game room.

This took me back man. Jus seeing these random game clips and background music took me to a good time in my life. Especially Super Mario Bros. 3 and sonic the hedgehog

This was great. The 16 bit era was when I came to be a gamer. I have countless photos from Christmas’s gone past holding relics of those times. Keep up the great work, and I look forward to more from this channel like it.

This was an incredibly well put together film! Damn, nearly two hours of content! This had to have taken you months to put together! That is an enormous amount of data to research! Nice job! I have also subbed. 👍

Incredible work. Really appreciate the time and energy and quality. Those two hours flew by (even with frequent rewinding to take in all the information and visuals. A+

This video was really well done man. I lived through the console wars. I'm 45 years old. I've been playing video games most of my life. At an hour and and 40? You really nailed a lot of shit dude. Many a great detail, often left unknown, presented in high-quality. I'm not so much of a gamer now,..but more of a Bushcraft man. But I do come back to my games now and then.... I grew up with Pong, the Atari 2600....the NES and SNES of course...Etc. I have watched the entire franchise evolve into what it is today. Many repetitive and UNfun games,..... but that's just me. You reinvigorated my love for the entire franchise. You earned a like and a subscription from my old ass! Continue with the good work sir. 🤘

Really well detailed documentary. I'm sure tons of us have seen plenty of videos on this topic but this really puts everything together with a nice, nearly complete timeline. High production values here.

This was so well done. Thank you for such a great video, you've got a talent for this!

Excellent round-up , thanks !! During my childhood i grew up spending countless hours playing games with my Sega MegaDrive/Genesis , and as a SEGA-child i witnessed both the massive success of the MegaDrive followed by the shocking failure of the SEGA Saturn. Once we were the proud owners of a strong console and in only 1 generation everything unexpectedly collapsed. The story of SEGA was both ,sweet and bitter ,and always brings me some level of sadness even today. Thanks for the memories !!

why doesn't this guy have so many more subscribers? this content is pure gold

That, was brilliant. Hats off to you for creating that.

Always comfy videos. Thanks for the great work you do.

This was so well done. Thank you. Really enjoyed it 😀

Dude... I LOVE watching your stuff. We gotta get you into the algorithm somehow

I've watched this presentation in its entirety. It brought back so many memories. Lines were really drawn in the sand on courtyards over the sega genesis versus the super nintendo lol.

words can't describe how much i thoroughly enjoyed this video. Just feels like diving into a different time that I had peripheral knowledge of, but seeing it presented like this is really stimulating for me. Excellent job!

This was awesome. I lived this era of early video game rivalry, and this vid brought back so many fun memories of my childhood. Great job.

Excellent video, well-researched, informative and entertaining enough to keep me interested for 100 minutes!
