>And in 92, SFII got ported and became the first "16 MEGS GAMEPAK" (2MB), which was a big deal then, even tough it was a very limited port even considering the SNES limitations, as it omitted and change a lot of stuff, to the point it genuienly feels very different then the arcade SFIIWW, and not in a port way, oh and the CPU is very choddie.
>But since SF grew big, thats the version that sold more.

Street Fighter 2 Turbo is one of the best selling third party games on the SNES, and yeah, Street Fighter 2 was the first 16MEG game.

>Arcade Gradius III slowdowns just as much if not more than the SNES port, I think it's ok as long as it's still challenging, just like TF4 which had lots of slowdowns but makes up with good visuals and challenge.
>As for early 2 player beat em ups, Rival Turf was somewhat popular when it came out, still not as good as Final fight though

The SNES had a really goof launch line up and good release schedule in the NA market. But, it was very much put up beside the Sega Genesis and TurboGrafx-16 upon its release. TurboGrafx-16 didn't really last long after the release of the Super Nintendo, but Sega was going aggressive with Sonic 1, their pre established library (SNES came out in 1991, Genesis was 1989) , and a $50 dollar cheaper console. But gaming magazines that would review games, were a bit disappointed by early SNES games having more slowdown than their alternatives on the Genesis. Yeah, Thunder Force IV had slowdown, but was pushing the genesis hardware really hard.

>The best Genesis games are better than the best SNES games, but overall the SNES has a better library
I'm the opposite. Nothing can touch aLttP or Super Metroid but I like the overall library of the Genesis more. Needless to say but 4th gen best gen.

Mega Drive but I grew up calling it Genesis and that's what I'm going to keep calling it.

>A Link to the Past and Super Metroid.
FTFY. Take away those two and IMO the Genesis library wins.

Good thread OP. It's good to show off the Genesis every now and then to remind the SNES Nintoddlers of their place here on /vr. Keep up the good work!

>What the fuck was wrong with Sega back then?
It's called banter. Grow a thicker skin.

Favorite Genesis game? If I had to pick one it would probably be Shinobi 3.

DOES

>were you going for cib's for their own sake or a curated collection?
Mostly to be curated. I already had many from my childhood already complete and with the clamshells being so sturdy a good many have survived over time and outside of certain games only adds a couple bucks to the overall cost. Not all are CiB tho. I prefer a complete game but if the price is right I will buy a game that just comes with the case.

>I never got the whole console war though, especially these days it just makes no sense.
I'll let you in on a little secret.... we know both are great but it's fun to relive our playground days of flinging shit at each other about who had the better console/games but in all seriousness fuck nintoddlers ;^)

>>4790584

>not having over 900
heh, nothing personal kid

>b-but muh cringe JRPGs with anime characters s-so none of that matters
Will SNES kiddies ever stop worshipping the Genesis BBC?
