>So, /vr/, it's time to settle this once and for all. Did Genesis do what Nintendon't? Or did Nintendo have the better system?
It's been settled for a long fucking time.

>Japan
Super Famicom won by a huge margin. PC Engine was in a respectable second place, and the Mega Drive was a distant third. Also of note is that the PC Engine CD addon was the only successful CD based game console until the Playstation.

>North America
SNES wins by a very slim margin, but really it's a tie between SNES and Genesis. Early on the Genesis gained ground due to an early launch and with Sonic, but the bungling of the Sega CD and 32X and the arrival of excellent late era SNES games balanced the sales out. TurboGrafx-16 comes in a very distant third place. No CD addons were popular in this period.

>Europe and other PAL Territories
Mega Drive by a huge margin. Sega already had dominance of the console market in the 3rd Generation with the Master System and that transitioned into the 4th Generation with the Mega Drive. The SNES seemed to have gotten shafted by having a large amount of it's library never making it over there and major clock speed problems in many games because of shitty programing not correcting for the change from NTSC 60hz to PAL 50hz, though some Mega Drive games had similar problems. The PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16 was never officially released though it seems some companies imported them into the territories.

>Overall
According to worldwide sales, the Super Famicom/SNES is the winner (49.1 million units). It's massive dominance in Japan and good performance in North America heavily outweigh it's poor performance in the smaller PAL markets. The Mega Drive/Genesis comes in second (40 million units) for good performance in North America and it's outstanding one in PAL territories. PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16 is in thrid (10 million units) because it only did well in Japan, with it's PAL presence being non-existant and North American performance poor.

Fuck you for reminding me.

This myth that Saturn emulation is unplayable has to stop once and for all.
SSF emulates SEGA Saturn perfectly as of some years now, and that's a fact, if you find a game that doesn't work with it you'll be incredibly lucky.

Unfortunately SSF is Windows only and you need a sort of half decent PC to play it, and I don't mean a powerful machine, just don't expect getting it to work with your mom's old netbook.

That being said, to answer OP's post there is no portable console that can run Saturn, the closest you can do is with Yabause, but that emulator is terrible, and can only work with handful of games.
