A lot of viewers wanted to see some of their

favorite video game systems go head to head.

So we decided to give something to everyone

because today we'll be putting 12 retro

systems through a series of trials.

If they break, they're out,

and we pick one winner.

From Super Nintendo all the way to PS3.

Pick a side and let's get started.

The console wars started in the 90s

with the 16-bit Super Nintendo outselling

Sega Genesis by about 9 million units.

Hold on to your bits consoles,

we're taking you to the battle ring.

I'm a Genesis guy, loved Sonic.

Don't get me wrong, Mario is great, but

Super Nintendo, never owned one.

I used to have my Super Nintendo

and Mortal Kombat II hooked up to a

4 inch black and white portable TV in my bedroom.

A 4 inch TV?

And now I have bad vision.

Weird.

Roll.

Action.

Oh god!

What have I done?

Okay, so the structure looks pretty good,

but the power switch feels a little wonky.

Super has still got it's controller,

it lost it's game.

This power button is a little wonky too.

Eric, now you love your Super Nintendo so try yours first.

Okay.

The switch, I can't angle it.

I think it's done bro. No!

I have hope.

Boom! Alright.

Genesis. One.

Next both companies up'd their bits

with the N64 and Sega Saturn,

then Sony introduced the first Playstation

and outsold both it's competitors.

Alright, so we're about to do second generation.

A lot of hours playing these games

and not talking to girls.

This is essentially the default version of an N64,

Just an N64 with Goldeneye in it.

Yeah.

There's not many other kinds I know.

Roll.

Action.

The N64 cord caught.

Extra damage points because the

64 is in mid-air (unclear).

It was like a train collision.

Alright, what's the damage.

It looks significant.

Look at the Saturn, it's just like ready for action.

Alright, let's plug them in. Test them.

Carefully.

Sega Saturn, let's do that one.

Even if it powered up, we couldn't even open the tray

because the tray button is gone.

Done.

The Playstation, original.

You've got an interesting problem here,

the case won't shut. I'll hold it down.

Teamwork. Ready?

Yeah.

Playstation, done.

Now this guy.

We're both rooting for this one.

I'm going to do it.

Come on Pierce.

We got light.

We got a game.

Just turn the cameras off, we'll be a couple of hours.

Looks flawless and I think cartridge games,

I mean their great. (shushes)

I'm just going to leave.

In the next generation, the cartridge was

totally dropped and all systems went disk.

Just in time for Microsoft to complicate the war

even further with the Xbox.

It's four consoles at once.

The original Xbox is a beast,

this thing is LOL huge.

Roll.

Action.

Holy cow!

Wow!

That was a lot of destruction.

That's like a four car pile up.

Let's plug them in an test them.

Let's go ahead and talk about the two that

I don't think we can even test.

Xbox one original.

Base plates gone.

And why that's so important is the power button

and this little wire clip attaches deep inside

the system, so.

There's no fixing or even turning it on.

PS2, it's just in so many pieces.

We definitely can't test this.

This is the DVD drive.

Now the Dreamcast, I think this one might do something.

You had one of these, right?

Oh yeah, I loved my Dreamcast.

Let's see if it turns on.

Beeping, that's a longer beep than usual.

Booting up. Looks good.

And I'm playing games. Alright.

Dreamcast, kicking ass. I'm impressed.

Last, but not least, in this generation, the Gamecube.

This could do it.

Is it spinning, do you hear anything?

I don't think so. Nothing?

The lunch box out to lunch.

So, only the Dreamcast survived this generation.

Time to drop the fourth generation.

Alright.

This takes us to the last generation we'll be testing.

Sega was finally put to rest, but the battle raged on

with the Wii, 360, and PS3.

How you guys feeling?

The 360, this thing is going to

Red Ring if it doesn't explode.

And this is, actually, my personal Xbox 360,

so the one that we got off eBay Red Ringed,

so we had to use mine,

but that's not my hard drive on there right?

No we switched the hard drives, of course.

We didn't switch the hard drives.

Roll.

Action.

How does the Playstation 3 look?

I think it's uglier. (unclear)

Oh hey, Xbox.

The Xbox evacuated the scene of the crime.

The front popped off, but

other than that it looks pretty good.

I think it landed right on the hard drive.

It's still going to Red Ring,

there's no way it doesn't Red Ring.

We'll see, and then, Wii, the little front plate

came off, but the Wii looks totally fine.

Let's plug them in.

Let's start with the Wii. Okay.

That's not a good sound.

That was like an angry sound.

It was like.

Oh it's working.

I'm trying to feed it the game.

Aren't you hungry?

Its so angry, it's making these hissing sounds.

Like an angry wombat.

Push harder.

I think I just wedged it between.

It turns on but you can't play games

unless you downloaded it.

Playstation 3.

Ugly,

and it's got the Spider-Man font?

Come on.

Not lighting up or anything.

It's a piece of garbage.

Your personal Xbox. Personal Xbox 360.

The green light is on!

There's no way it's not Red Ringing

because it fell from 15 feet.

Wait!

There's no way!

It works!

Yes!

Unbelievable!

Are we going to call the 360 the clear winner here?

Yeah, I mean, you can't put a game in,

this is fully functional.

It's got character. Yeah.

For our second test, we made our own special blend,

this is Battle Dew.

Let's say you got a late night video game session

and you get some Battle Dew on your console,

will it survive?

We're going to find out.

Roll.

Action.

Done. Will they boot up?

Will we electrocute ourselves?

Let's find out. Let's test them.

Alright, we just doused these in Battle Dew,

let's carefully turn them on, and we're all wearing gloves.

Don't try this at home.

Let's hit the power.

Let's see what explodes first.

I heard beeping.

The freaking Dreamcast booting up like a boss.

And doesn't even need to be turned on.

It's like, I'm ready guys.

It's so caffeinated.

The Dreamcast has chosen it's own time.

Okay it's working.

I'm going to use my magic touch on the Genesis.

Do it. Okay.

Nope, out. Genesis is dead.

N64,

lights on.

I hear a humming. Take the cartridge out.

Now, my personal Xbox. Your Xbox.

Here we go.

I think your Xbox is dead bro.

The answer is clear the Dreamcast was, as I thought,

the best system ever made.

Maybe not the most popular system of all time.

But a good system nonetheless.

And, clearly, the toughest.

Even though I was glad to see the Dreamcast win,

a lot of brave systems did lose their lives today,

and so ends the console wars.

Justin, what are we going to do now,

we've destroyed all our video game systems?

I'll be fine.

I've still got this!

That's pretty cool, what if we battle tested it?

Don't you dare touch Cuppy.

Oh, I hit my face!
