Yeah those GG graphics were amazing for the time but the GB did have the better audio and had a massive and incredible game library. Both were fantastic handhelds to own.
Hey Bill, you dropped this one right on my head as hit up the YT homepage! Another huge look at two interesting libraries. It'll be a good reference piece to look at to decide if it's worth checking out a game on one of the handhelds when perusing their libraries. I have a lot more nostalgia for the Game Boy, since I associate it with my young uncle who passed a few years ago, since he got one near launch and then helped me buy on in '91 to play with him. But, of course, I was always jealous of the couple of friends and my cousin that had the Game Gear. I mean, to a kid, the color was just so impressive. Of course, the battery-drain was an issue, but to be honest, the only time I ever played the GG at the time outside of a few minutes at recess (or in the dark in the church bathroom 🤫) was with the AC adapter. Same when I finally bought one of the Majesco ones in 2000: tethered to a wall...well, whenever it works. I feel the GB usually wins for sound/music, but the GG wins more often for graphics, except when there's a lot of sprite flicker, choppy scrolling, or slowdown. Ah, like the SNES vs Genesis, I think overall it's a tie, and both systems were great with a ton of great games though most of the best are not here in the comparison because the best were the exclusives.
Haha good timing. Excellent assessment as always my friend! You hit the nail on the head with the GB being the master of audio and GG with the visuals for probably 80% of these. Just like with the SNES vs Genesis you couldn't go wrong with either and were bound to have a great time with the amazing games on either. I never had a handheld growing up unless you count the few Tiger games so I was always jealous of pretty much everyone lol! I never actually knew anyone with a Lynx but I wanted a GB and a GG even more because of the color and since I was such a Sega fanboy.
Both hardware systems use the Z80 CPU (strictly speaking, the Game Boy's CPU is a custom version of the Z80), and both games have the same resolution. They are like brothers and sisters of different parents, but the Game Gear has a color LCD and more VRAM, while the Game Boy has a Window feature for status display and a better sound chip. It should not be difficult to develop both versions of a game from the same code base, but the differences are interesting because some of the games have different screen configurations due to hardware differences, and some are completely different games.
Comparing these games side by side, the greater capabilities of the Game Gear are pretty obvious. This is hardly surprising when you consider that it's CPU is a slightly enhanced version of the processor that powered the SEGA Master System (It's perfectly capable of playing those games too, with an adapter). Whereas, the gameboy certainly isn't an NES with a monocrome screen. I have only recently acquired a Game Gear of my own and I must say that it greatly exceeds my expectations, particularly those based upon opinions I had seen expressed online. Also, much as I like the gameboy incarnation of Samurai Showdown, the Game Gear version looks AMAZING!! That said, I have huge nostalgia for the gameboy. - I was living out of a suitcase (in a bedsit) back in 1990 and the gameboy was the path back into video games in early adulthood (after a childhood playing Atari and intellivision). So, I still find myself picking up the odd gameboy game even now. Anyway, thanks for another amazing comparison video. I love this channel.
Gameboy still won this battle. Not because it was better. It wasnt. First factor was the Fact, that Game Gear was 50% more expensive (99 vs 149), and second one - probably most important - Gameboy had much bigger library, there were more games on the market.
Thanks so much for the kind words and for checking this out:) While I never owned either back when they were relevant (my parents thought Tiger Electronics were as good) I was always fascinated by both. You'd think that the Game Gear was horrible based on the online consensus and I'll never understand that. While it certainly had its flaws and the game library couldn't touch the GB it was still phenomenal and looks great even with its stock screen. A friend of mine got his modded with a LCD screen recently and those colors really pop. Much like the SNES vs Genesis debate, the real winners were the consumers because you got an incredible experience for either.
@@KISSbestfan It's kind of like the NES vs SMS. While the SMS looks way better for almost every port that ended up on the 2 the NES had the much superior game library to choose from.
Game Gear was capable to display more colors than Master System. But besides that, games scaled down, and additional start button, it was pretty much the same system.
NOTA: ¿Sabias, que por casi cada película, videojuego en Super Nintendo o NINTENDO NES, he incluso Arcade, es que luego sacaban una versión para la Game Boy? Esta consola (GB) Ha sido la más porteada de todas, y una de las mas versátiles. (Con permiso de la PSX y la PS2 claro está:)
Yes. Game Gear Fatal Fury Special avoids the quarter munching AI that held back the original. Race Drivin' GB has better tire grip than any other version, and runs smoother than SNES.
I'd say for like 98% of them you're better off going with the console version. @juststatedtheobvious9633 gave some good examples and one more I'd add is Last Action Hero which is different and IMO much more fun than the 16 bit versions. While it's less relevant today than it would have been when these were active consoles, some of these games I think would have been a better experience on the GG/GB over the SNES/Genesis because I feel some of these are better on-the-go games. I can't imagine wanting to play Casino Funpak on the TV but on a car ride it would be a fun way to pass the time.
Two Z80s, at the exact same clock speed. There has never been a console war this evenly matched...as long as you ignore the Game Gear's design being a cruel practical joke that was "leaked" to the same company Nintendo originally wanted to make Gameboy screens... Before Nintendo immediately betrayed them, of course. When you know the big N's long history of pulling these stunts, the Playstation was just doing what Congo Bongo couldn't. That said, it's amazing how well the Gameboy library competes even when modern emulation removes battery life and screen quality from the equation. I think Alien 3 is the best illustration of why. Both are very flawed games, but the GG is a quick and dirty port of a European action game with fast moving cheap shot artists, and serious screen crunch issues. Meanwhile, the Gameboy version is a tense overhead survival horror with graphics so primitive that the main character sprite somehow looks too low poly for an Amiga 500 demo. Neither game is making the most of the hardware, but only the Gameboy version even takes the hardware into consideration. And the same thing happens to a lesser degree with Samurai Shodown. And Zool. Fortunately for Sega's fully roided out underdog, Mortal Kombat, Road Rash, and Robocop vs Terminator prove that you can simply tank the frame rate a little and look fully 16-bit! A tactic that Sega fans celebrate to this day, even though the Nomad offered superior versions of each game and was completely ignored. (Though GG Road Rash has nothing to be ashamed of.) Winner: Game Gear exclusive games that only pretend to be multi-platform! Help the Game Gear remain a tiny bit relevant in 2024, Jurassic Park and Power Rangers!
So well said my friend! You're a wealth of knowledge so there's not really much for me to add. Nintendo betrays more companies than Ric Flair would do when he'd turn heel.
Hay todo tipo de casos. Pero hay que recordar que ademas de tener colores la GG tecnicamente es superior a la GB. Pero como comercialmente tubo un exito muy reducido apenas se llegaron a aprobechar sus capacidades
Most of these look solid for both except for perhaps a few on each but the puzzle games lacking color always hurts for sure but overall nice comparison and a lot of these seem like fun on both.
Thanks for watching and making it through this very long season my friend:) Some of the puzzle games on the GB were super tough like Klax and Puyo Puyo and that's with using a computer. I can't even imagine trying to figure out the slightly different shapes on a tiny, non-backlit, green & black screen.
some games are better on gamegear some are better on the gameboy (not counting gbc which is ALWAYS a better game). what the gameboy had is that those are usually exclusive versions (contrary to the gamegear which if you had a master system almost all the times is the very same game)
True, true. Occasionally the Game Boy shared some "this is almost the same game" ports with the NES, but the fact that the Game Gear was a portable Master System for all practical purposes made those one-to-one conversions a lot more common on the Sega side.
I believe that all GG games were by now ported to Master System format. With various results, some being ugly and unplayable, and some fully playable and great looking.
Very good point. You did get way more Game Boy exclusives even when it came to these games whereas the Game Gear did have a lot of 1:1 SMS ports. Still though, having a glorified portable SMS in the early 90s was pretty awesome.

Some Game Gear games look different from Master System games
Game Gear was capable to display more colors than Master System.
But besides that, games scaled down, and additional start button, it was pretty much the same system.
Most were very similar but there were some that had their own unique look.

Yes. Game Gear Fatal Fury Special avoids the quarter munching AI that held back the original. Race Drivin' GB has better tire grip than any other version, and runs smoother than SNES.

Ill just stick with gamegear besides the exclusives think gamegear beat NES as well!
The GG is basically a handheld SMS so I can see that beating the NES head to head with graphics.
Who knew Cliffhanger on GB had such a banger ost
Haha I certainly wouldn't have guessed that.
I had game boy and GG and would still play my game boy a lot because GG burned through batteries like crazy 😂😂😂
Lol! I'm convinced Sega secretly had a deal with Duracell and Energizer.
