6In this video, I am going to show you Sega Genesis and SNES versions of Mortal Kombat 3 Ultimate, side by side!
Graphics
Sega Genesis: Generally has a darker palette and lower resolution sprites. Some animations might be less smooth compared to SNES.
SNES: Features brighter colors and more detailed backgrounds.
However, Genesis resolution is bigger.
Sound
Sega Genesis: Uses a more crispy synthesized sound, which some players find gives it a unique charm.
SNES: We would expect superior sound quality with better music and sound effects. In reality sound effects are way too metallic and music sounds a bit like underwater. Voices are a bit mumbling.

Controls: The button layout differs between the two consoles, which can affect player preference.
Loading Times

SNES: Slightly longer loading times, but not excessively so.
Content

SNES: May have some slight variations in character moves or finishing moves due to hardware limitations.
Overall Experience
Sega Genesis: Appeals to players who prefer the unique audio and a slightly faster pace. Good for those who grew up with the Genesis.
SNES: Ideal for those who grew up with SNES.
Conclusion
Both versions have their strengths and weaknesses, and the choice often comes down to personal preference regarding graphics, sound, and control schemes. Fans of classic fighters will enjoy either version for the core gameplay experience!
