SNES version is superior because it runs faster
Nobody should give a single fuck about background scenery in a racing game
Also, one of the most piece of shit games I ever had the misfortune of playing was BC Racers on Sega CD
Man, what a piece of shit

Anyone got any good SNES stories?

>>10181737
But that was a lazy port to the snes, it's CPU was far more efficient per clockcycle and could do the same visuals if the developers weren't that lazy
Just look at game like star fox and stunt race fx (I know it had a helper chip, but that was used mostly for audio and sprite scaling)

>>10181742

those games run and look like shit, vr is way more impressive and actually runs well

>>10181779
That only proves that the programmers are more familiar with the 68000

>those games run and look like shit, vr is way more impressive and actually runs well
but VR is cheating by using a super expensive Sega Virtua Processor chip for the graphics. Also the SVP is a poor design that literally breaks down over time. Samsung forgot to mention that to SEGA before they sold them the whole batch.

The SuperFX games however still run fine and beautiful to this day, oozing with sovl

>>10181785
>cheating
heres a starfox demo on megadrive without any chips https://youtu.be/MY0N2BVN_X4 and it runs better than the og game kek
>Also the SVP is a poor design that literally breaks down over time.
wtf are you talking about lmao, i have mine and it still runs well stop with the cope
>The SuperFX games however still run fine and beautiful to this day, oozing with sovl
soul is not an argument, they look and run like shit compared to vr, which runs well, is in full 3d, and you have a 2p mode and theres no frame drops

Want to eat that cake. Would you eat your favorite console?

>heres a starfox demo on megadrive without any chips
Looks poor compared to the snes version. no real gameplay going on and the audio is much worse (as expected from the inferior genesis hardware)

Just like that f-zero on genesis demo. Its just a poor substitute for a real mode-7 with worse framerate, much blockier and worse drawdistance.

>wtf are you talking about lmao, i have mine and it still runs well stop with the cope
The chips are prone to overheating even with the rediculous heat sync in place.
You are lucky yours still works, but I guess it's because you do not play it much since VR is not that much fun.

>>10181752
I got one, I guess.
I was 8, and I was determined to get a Super Nintendo after playing it briefly at a neighbor's house. At the same time, I befriended another guy 1 year older than me from school, who had a Mega Drive, and he kept talking to me about Sega and Sonic. I knew very little about Sonic, but it grabbed my attention from the screenshots I saw on a magazine, however, I still was determined for the Super Nintendo.
Eventually I got it, and my Sega friend seemed kinda jealous. I remember going to his house, but instead of playing Sonic (which he always talked about) for whatever reason, we played Desert Strike and Fifa, and they seemed boring games to me at the time (I still think Fifa is boring, if only he had ISSS). Anyway, fast forward some months and I go on a vacation with my family for a month, and during that time, I lented my Super Nintendo to this friend. He and his older brothers (he was like 10 or 11, and his brothers were 16 and 18 or so) absolutely loved the console. I forgot to mention, by then, I also had my own Mega Drive too.
By 1996, when I was already playing with PS1 and N64, my friend sold his Mega Drive and games and bought a Super Nintendo, I remember lenting him some games... fucker never returned F-Zero.
But yeah, so basically

>>10181723
I can't wait until summer is over and you kids are back in school. The SNES was the most successful console of its generation and has one of the best libraries in history.

The SNES was single-handedly responsible for the "golden era" of 16-bit gaming and no amount of contrarian "ironic" shitposting by broccoli-haired faggots is going to change that.

>>10181842
Not sure if this is the case specifically, but one of /vr/'s most autistic anti-Nintendo guys is Australia-kun, who is probably an older guy in his 40s or 50s, and grew up playing microcomputer jank.

>>10181842
>and has one of the best libraries in history.
I personally feel this way about the NES, but every time I think about the SNES' great platformers they're far and away the absolute best the genre has to offer, even to this day.

>>10181826
>as expected from the inferior genesis hardware
>>10181779

this is such bs, i had two cartridge and I've never had that nor heard about that problem
vr is pretty good, thats why it got ported on so much consoles even tho its an old arcade game

unsurprising if true, samsung has always been a bunch of niggards

>>10181554
pretty good console for games that felt like souped up NES games, but then again turbo grafx was already doing this. Lots of RPGs which I don't have time for any more.

>>10181842

of shitty platformers lmao
>responsible for the "golden era" of 16-bit gaming and no amount of contrarian "ironic" shitposting by broccoli-haired faggots is going to change that.
no it wasn't, all the games the snes got were shitty licensed games, boring platformers and thats about it

>>10181961
The SNES was competing with itself for best platformer of 1995.

>>10181929
>also keep in mind its running with no fancy chips
But that is an incomplete game, just a tech demo. Cannot compete to an actual complete game.

It's also entertaining that you only point to tech demos made 30 years later, and not actual games from the 90s.


>this is such bs, i had two cartridge and I've never had that nor heard about that problem

Stop dismissing these warnings and educate yourself better
https://www.classicplastic.net/dvgi/editorials-davidvirtuaracing.html
>Second, since the SVP generated so much heat, it was equipped with a rather large heat sink.Given how long ago these cartridges were made (10+ years) the thermal compound that links the SVP chip to the heat sink and helps transfer heat away is probably no longer any good.

Samsung screw SEGA over for giving them garbage chips, forcing SEGA to add these rediculous heatsinks to get it somewhat running still but with risk of failure if used too much

>>10182004
Batman is two completely different games, however the SNES one plays better and I like the artstyle more. Also the snes has better color usage (due to the better ppu) so this is not much if a contest really.

LHX attack chopper drops to 2fps whenever it has to do something interesting, you can see this in the intro when the chopper is really close.

Not sure what you are trying to prove here.

>>10182027
sorry its not piss easy like snes games

>>10182045
>delusional
The review scores from back in the day agree with me, the genesis version looks okay, but plays poorly.
The snes version was much better received by the gaming press back then.

>I'm showing a game and not a new techdemo on the megadrive that is in full 3d
I understand, but whats the point of showing 3d when it runs so extremely poorly?
Even elite on the nes runs better I think.

>I still have my copy of vr and it doesn't have any problems so all i can say is stop with saying bs
Just because your copy is fine doesn't mean there is no structural hardware issue in place.
I'm glad for you that yours still works.

>giving attention to the console war kid
he probably doesn't even like Sega, just wants to stir shit. stop giving the khv attention.

Growing up with SNES I was more into FF4, FF6, Arcana, 7th Saga, Mario RPG, DKC1 and 2, Mario Paint, Mario Kart, SimCity

But there's still a lot of amazing fun games I enjoy playing now like Axelay, Super Castlevania 4, Hagane, Gradius 3, UN Squadron, Sunset Riders, SimCity

too bad snes's are all dying at massive rates due to chip failures and it will be impossible to play any snes games on original hardware by probably the next couple years

>>10182071
>the genesis version looks okay

truly delusional

first time I've heard that, and thats not what i thought when playing it

who cares about press? those retards would often give shitty games a great score

>>10182085
Any day now... maybe if you post the picture of the chips again from the guy's repair blog from a decade ago it'll come sooner.

>>10182086
It's good that you enjoy the sega version of batman, but general consensus is not backing your preference here.

Also the tech demo didn't show anything interesting, there is no point in demonstrating a demonwith no real gameplay made 25 years after the consoles end of life. Even if that somehow showed some level of superiority it does not matter to the people from the 90s who had to choose between the two consoles.

The actual games released in the 90s looked better (on average) on the snes, with the genesis being a close second.

>>10182116

megadrive is still better than the snes, source? me posting the videos

>>10182085
that issue was only involving early production SHVC units. if you buy early production anything you're playing with fire. the first Famicoms also had major issues.

>>10182171
>>10182105
Some of the reported SNES malfunctions may in fact be not the CPU but broken traces as the eject lever is a rather poor design that flexes the PCB.

>>10181980
sega really managed to fuck up everything didn't they?
fortunately it's just for a single (mediocre) game so little harm done.

>>10182157
don't you ever get tired of shitposting? go play some speccy or genesis instead of shitting up this place

>>10181554
Why, thank you!

Happy Birthday to the best console ever!

>>10182157
>megadrive is still better than the snes, source? my stinking asshole
Whatever helps you sleep at night buddy

Mega Drive, more like mega dookie

>>10182192
What I mean is pressing the eject lever flexes the PCB and can crack traces over time.

>>10182157
>GamePro called the Genesis version "a standard side-scrolling platform game with great backgrounds from the show but mediocre action", citing tedious and overly difficult level design, unresponsive controls, poor character visuals, and repetitive music.

This sounds similar to my experience with the game as well. Looks alright but plays poorly.

>megadrive is still better than the snes, source? me posting the videos
Worst argument from your side so far. The videos you showed had no (good) gameplay in them, either bad tech demos or underwhelming games from the 90s

>>10182305

Not the coolest story, but I've played SNES games for nearly 20 years now on and off, which I guess says omething about the scope of its library.
SNES was the gift that kept on giving. It feels like everyone knows every classic today, everyone has played them, and you kind of take the console for granted at this point. But when you stop and think about it, it's mindboggling just HOW many awesome games it had. And even today people find out about stuff they haven't played like Live A Live, Romancing SaGa, etc.
If there has ever been a golden age of video games, this is the closest we got to it.

>>10182541
>greatest 16 bit action game

You must not play much action games.

Literally this.

People only remember the Genesis for Sonic and maybe Mortal Kombat 1 or Toejam and Earl if your lucky. Everything else just kinda fades into obscurity.

which of the twelve (12) required levels is your favorite?

What games did you have on it originally?

I had SMW, that lame spiderman/xmen game, Turtles in time, F1 Roc (it was alright) and Gradius 3

I was a poorfag so I didn't get many games. I had to borrow other stuff like DKC and megaman

>>10181752
I was volunteering at scout camp once and I was shooting the shit with the little kids about the history of video games.
They knew what the NES and the N64 were, but not a single one of the brats would believe me when I told them that Nintendo made a sequel to the NES called the Super NES and it had games from all their favorite series on it.

>>10185809
wtf, really? that's like knowing Saturn and DC, but not knowing Genesis.
anyway what baffles me is just how well-known N64 seems to be in the US, people seem to have an impression it won the 5th gen by a landslide.

>>10183152
Out of that list the only games that still have any name power beyond nostalgiafagging are the Phantasy Star ones, the rest are one or two off series that died with the 16 bit era

>>10185898
Variety is not a bad thing. The SNES would have been a far better console if it wasn't just a dumping grounds for throwaway Nintendo IP's and SquareSoft's RPG Maker shit from before they hit their prime on the PlayStation.

>>10186017
*Segacope intensifies*

>>10186027
this gotta be the dumbest /vr/ pic I've seen so far
go back to redit

>>10185826
The sales for the n64 are very different in the US compared to the rest of the world.
Almost 2/3 of all n64 sold are from the US (roughly 20million) which is a number similar to what the snes or genesis sold here.
PSX sold like 30million in comparison.
Although the PSX still won sales wise, its not that extreme of a difference (especially when compared to Europe or Japan, where the PSX literaly outsold the n64 by 5x or so)
Saturn sales in the US was a mere 1.5 million and pretty much an obscurity.

I have no idea why the n64 performed so much better in the US than the rest of the world, but it does result in a different view of 5th gen sales performance

>>10186036
your post was way dumber. SNES had a fuckton of games with tremendous variety. it was much like PSX, it attracted all 3rd parties that all made different games. you're trying to meme that it "only had RPGs" and """throwaway Nintendo IPs""". You know why? because the truth hurts. SNES had the best RPGs of the gen hands down, and some of the GOAT Nintendo IP games, as well as tons of great action, racing, puzzle, smhups… but your dumb fanboy ass would rather start another console war than admit that. 30 years later, SNES still makes every segafag seethe.

No, I said it has throwaway RPG Maker shit from before SquareSoft hit their prime on the PlayStation, reading comprehension.
>"SNES had the best RPGs of the gen hands down"
It doesn't even have Phantasy Star IV, Shining Force II, Anearth Fantasy Stories, Snatcher, Policenauts, any of the good Ys games, Lunar. No, you're Final Fantasy shit isn't anywhere close, Final Fantasy only became great starting with VII, and everybody knows that.
>"tons of great action, racing, puzzle, smhups"
>still can't name any, because they don't exist
>GOAT Nintendo IP games
This is all you have. Enjoy playing Mario for the 749th time. SNES console warriors are always the funniest people, so utterly incapable of defending the system they want so desperately to be the "best console ever". Let me give you a hint, if it seems this difficult to make a decent case for, maybe it isn't worth defending?

>>10186027
auster is not a Sega fan. In fact, he hates Japanese games in general, he just focuses on hating Nintendo the most.

>>10186316
Lel, you are really starting to pull shit straight from your ass here.
I understand you have some deep rooted hatred for the big N and it lives in your head rent free but just keep it to yourself will you?

>>10186039
3D Platformers and FPS were really big in the US which the N64 had quite a lot of them, Nintendomania was still somewhat strong, Multiplayer games too and the N64 not only had a lot of popular MP games, but also 4 ports for 4 players.
And regardless how much people complain that the console was a "kiddy system", that appeal was enough for kids and parents to get one.

>>10181842
SNES first party titles are just so polished and refined

This was right at the end of the era before synthetic, PS1 'Gamer' culture brought in the nightclubbing normies. I never went online in those days, just happy to enjoy my little hobby by myself. There is more to life of course, but not much.

>>10186339

>>10188113
>PS1 'Gamer' culture brought in the nightclubbing normies.
PS1 had games for everyone, and this includes jrpgs, games aimed at weebs, some visual novels, games with some sexy elements...
If there is a console that was very clearly aimed at normies, it was the N64. Most of their games were either super safe family games, American action games about spies or hunters, clones of Mortal Kombat or sports games, although the console still missed a great racing game about cars. Oh, and loads and loads of games featuring Mario and his friends, instead of creating new characters. They also avoided giving defined personalities to their characters or making compelling stories, because they wanted to avoid any kind of controversy.
Goemon or Mischief makers tried to offer some wackiness and energy, and the idea of turning Conker into a gory comedy was the one time that Nintendo and Rare caught me off-guard, even if I couldn't be less interested in the game.
But for the most part, they always opted for ultra sanitized products that would please normies and shareholders.
