/vr/ - Retro Games

For action games, generally, the Mark V was the superior system.

However, the Super Nintendo still has a bunch of great exclusives.

Both systems are very good and hating one or the other is dumb.

This will quickly descend into a shitposting extravaganza.

It should NEVER be about the hardware. You should only ever care about the games.

And both consoles had amazing libraries.

>>3452747

This, on paper Genesis has CPU while SNES has better everything else, but sometimes the Genesis can have really colorful, bright graphics (Ristar), and SNES can have action-packed BLAST PROCESSING stuff (Wild Guns).

These console wars and people techno-babbling about CPU clock speed are just parroting 30 year old memes created by marketing teams.

>>3452730
>Mark V
Xddddddd edgelord cunt

>>3452725
It depends on the game. Some are better on SNES, others are better on Genesis. Both have great exclusives and you'd be a complete idiot not to play both consoles.

A NEW CHALLENGER HAS ARRIVED

>>3452773

This thing was the Sega Saturn of 4th gen. Popular in Japan, obscure in the west.

>>3452725

The Genesis was better in some areas and the SNES better in others. Had both.

This is the only multiplat I got to play on original hardware.

>Genesis: runs at 60fps
>SNES: runs at 30fps, extra background effects, slightly better colors
>both versions: a mediocre game that really needed a save system

If you're an RPG nerd, you'll pick SNES.

If you're a hardcore gamer, you'll pick Genesis.

>>3452725
I don't really care about hardware. I care about actual games.

To me, it has always seemed that SNES simply had more good games, by pure numbers. Both systems had enough killer titles. But SNES simply had more third-party support, and of course some of Nintendo's own great games.

Genesis gave it quite a battle in US and even more so in Europe. But in Japan, SFC completely and utterly outdid it. That's why in the end a lot of Japanese devs came to work exclusively with Nintendo there.

What also limited the American library of Japanese games for Genesis was the launch of 32X and Sega Channel exclusives. Don't get me wrong, Sega Channel was cool, but not publishing Golden Axe III was a bad move.

>>3452725
Genesis is far more powerful, but the SNES had better color output and audio quality.

>>3452787

If you're a hardcore gamer, you wouldn't waste your time playing 16-bit and you would be trying to beat some hi-scores on arcade games from the 80s instead.

>he can't even get a kill screen on pac-man

>>3452798
>color output
MD's dithering meant it could do colours better than the SNES.

>and audio quality.
I'll take FM synth in lieu of over-reverbed, low-bitrate sound.

>>3452804
Are you the same guy that worships Billy Mitchel because he was paid to get high scores in certain games for advertising?

>>3452809
>MD's dithering meant it could do colours better than the SNES.

it's okay to be a fanboy, but this is objectively false.

>>3452725
Love MD controller.
Still don't know why 8-directional pad is not the default today.

>>3452813

Are you the same butt devastated european that shitposts regularly on /vr/?

>>3452819
What's that got to do with anything? You're getting paranoid again.

>>3452826

You never posted any time-stamped pic of your collection.

I bet you emulate everything like a pleb.

>>3452830
And you never posted your Sunset Riders cab you claimed to own, so we're even.

>>3452838

I claimed to own that?

>>3452841
>>/vr/thread/S3408892#p3416546

>>3452853

And what makes you think that's me? Honest question, give me your best shot.

>>3452856
What's the matter, backpedaling already? You're the one claiming "emulators are for plebs", so you should be able to show us your Sunset Riders PCB, or hell, any PCB for that matter.

>>3452809
This is what makes these console wars happen.

OBJECTIVELY, the Genesis had a more powerful processor.

OBJECTIVELY, the SNES had better color quality and audio quality.

You saying this false shit and going
>I like the Genesis audio!

Isn't factual, and isn't helping.

>>3452864
Okay then. Enjoy your dogshit console that is the Stupor Nintendo.

>>3452865
Both are great. Both were capable of different things.

You're a stupid dumbass.

>>3452787
>on arcade games from the 80s instead
A pacman 256 run requires 0 skills though

>>3452872
meant to quote this guy >>3452804

>>3452868
Nintendo wasn't capable, though. Action games could only have 2 or 3 sprites on screen without massive slowdown and the system was littered with cookie-cutter weebshit RPG's.

>>3452862

I said emulators are for plebs alright, but I never claimed to own the Sunset Riders cab.

You just randomly went to the archives to look for some anon who claimed to own some PCB, and because I said "emulators are for plebs" your brain connected some dots and came to the conclusion I was the same person? lol

>>3452875

Nintendo and Sega were more than capable. The problem was your childhood playing european games like Amigavania, now that is shit.

>>3452875
Nintendo was capable, you're a dumbass little shitty.

Instead of a consolewar, lets just have a human war.

Now come here so I can fuck you.

>>3452876
>acts like a smug arcade elitist
>doesn't even own a Sunset Riders cab

Just fucking kill yourself already, my man.

>>3452880
Amiga is vastly superior to that Nintendildo garbage you yanks obsess over.

>>3452882

That's your average "arcade elitist" on /vr/, yourself included.

>>3452885

Your banter became lazy... what's wrong with you aussie? You're still here pretty much all day, but I notice your stamina is lowered down. You no longer can make Castlevania threads reach 500+ replies of pure shitposting, what happened? What went wrong?

>unironically replying to Australia-kun
>again
From the fucking moment >>3452826 was posted this thread was gonna go to hell. Ahhh, good ol /vr/.

>>3452889
I'm not so sure about that. Most everyone on /vr/ is too afraid to discuss Super Castlevania Bros. now apparently.

>>3452890
Who's replying unironically?

Also the thread went to shit from the get go.

"The Super Nintendo... was a fucking mistake."

-Shigeru Miyamoto

>>3452898

"Amigavania... was an abomination"

-Alan Stewart

>>3452904
>hating Amigavania
What's wrong, too challenging for you?

>>3452907

Alan Stewart said that, not me.

>>3452914
But he made the C64 game, not the Amiga game.

>>3452875
This meme applies for some beat 'em ups but on other genres there wasn't much of a difference.

>>3452925
Uh huh...

>>3452931
The arcade has as much slowdown, if you play the game on highers difficulties or loops you will find the slowdowns more helpful than annoying, just like the other Parodius/Gradius arcades.

>>3452919
>tfw the C64 Castlevania is actually more competent than the Amiga disaster

What went wrong?

>>3452937
Novotrade's always had a hit-or-miss track record.

They made the excellent Ecco games, but then shit out two PSX Contras.

>>3452747
>You should only ever care about the games.
Which is why the Genesis wins with adults.

Aight fellas lets get some real discussion going. Which one got better controls? Genesis wins for me just because it feels morr comfy in my hands. 6 buttons be damned because none of my games use it
Op here

Plus genesis doesnt have those problems with shit turning yellow.
Black dont crack dawg

>>3452954
>Genesis

>>3452954
Well obviously SNES is better than the first Genesis pad (a design from the '80s), but the 6-button pad is GOAT, only to be surpassed by Saturn.

>>3452725
Md has superior cpu, snes has better graphics chip. Snes games look nicer. Md games move faster and feel nicer. Actually nintendo were idiots for not going with the 68k as originally planned.

>>3452964
Look again. Which one contours to your hands better?

>>3452864
How is snes audio objectively superior? Do you have any numbers to back that up like bitrates or you just regurgitating opinions again.

>>3452980
Genesis, because I'm not an 8 year old.

>>3452773
>16 bit

>>3452954
I like both, but the shoulder pads decide it for me.

The whole point of L and R is that you can hold them while your right thumb is free. This means you can lock your shooting direction in Contra and still be able to jump, or dash, jump and still keep your charge in Megaman X.

The only game where 6 buttons really made a difference for me was Street Fighter II, but the port was too shitty anyway. Sonic uses only 1 button, for crying out loud.

It's great that people still argue which system is better. Just shows big the competition was. I'm just going to a douche and say both were great.

>>3453000
>Street Fighter II
>shitty port
wot. It was the best home version at the time on Megadrive.

>>3453028
I mean SNES version

Anyway, all versions used highly scaled sprites, and highly differed from the original which was crucial

Lets be real doe
SMW is way more fun than sonic

>>3453060

>>3453028
doesn't hold a candle to ghouls 'n ghosts in 1989, that one at least was 320x224

Anyone have the genesis version of this?

Genesis is what your parents got you if they didn't love you

>>3453184
If your parents really loved you, they would've gotten you both a SNES and Genesis.

>>3453208
Talk about sending mixed messages

>>3453184
No dude genesis has streets of rage

>>3453273
>Had Sonic, Sonic 2, Rocket Knight Adventures, Dynamite Headdy, Ren & Stimpy: Stimpy's Invention, Zombies Ate my Neighbours, Streets of Rage 2, Double Dragon Arcade, NHL '94, Dr Robotniks MBM
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pDugHeoXg4

Sometimes I'm glad I got to have what Nintendon't

>>3452725
I believe the SNES has superior build quality and better games genesis was dank no doubt but this was the best console nintendo ever produced

>>3453179

Where da MK2 and UMK3 at

>>3452725
SNES for RPGs and platformers, Gene-Drive for everything else.

>>3452773
I had my choice of genesis, snes, or tg16 as a kid. I chose tg16 and still regret it. It just didn't have the library. The few games I could get for it I played over and over though.

The God of Shmups, Toaplan, knew that the SNES was a joke and chose the MD.

>>3453505
>Toaplan

>>3453512
Only the biggest shmup developer of the '80s, who gave birth to Cave and Raizing.

>>3452864
OBJECTIVELY, it depends on whether you prefer synth or samples.

>>3453512
kys

>>3453505
For vertical shmups sure, but you can't deny the SNES has great horis, with a couple solid verticals like Aero Fighters and Space Megaforce

>>3453519
Megadrive can do samples. How do you think Koshiro got those drums in Super Shinobi?

>>3453529
Yeah and I prefer Mega Drive myself but it's more known for the synth. Koshiro is a fucking madman though and that soundtrack is amazing.

>3 buttons

Stopped wanting there

I mean the 15-45 buttons that cone standard now are too much but fkng three?.

>>3453542
2-3 was the standard for arcade games before Street Fighter 2, nigga.

>>3453521
And Genesis still had better shmups regardless of direction. Also Space Megaforce is the most overrated Aleste game.

>>3453521
What great horis did SNES have, without mentioning Konami or IREM rehashes?

>>3453552
>And Genesis still had better shmups regardless of direction
Nah aside from TF4 the horis don't really compare to Konami and Irem. Still the PCE is better than either because it had Konami, Toaplan and Irem.

>Also Space Megaforce is the most overrated Aleste game.
Nope that's MUSHA for sure, Space Megafiorce is pretty intense as long as you play it on harder difficulties, way more interesting level design than Musha too.

>>3453568
>what good games there were except for the good games?
Okay let's shit on any Toaplan port on the MD too then.
Anyway Macross, Biometal, Area 88, Axelay (half), EDF

>>3453576
>Nah aside from TF4 the horis don't really compare to Konami and Irem.

Trouble Shooter Vintage, Gley Lancer, Gaiares, Darius II, Hellfire, Crying, Keio Flying Squadron, Lords of Thunder... lots of great Genny hori shooters.

Agreed about MUSHA being the most overhyped Compile shump, though.

>>3453592
Gleylance and Gaiares have cool weapon system but the levels weren't that fun for me at least. Darius II, Hellfire and Crying are cool i'll give you that. The rest are pretty style over substance.

i desperately wanted space megaforce to be good. Turned out it wasn't even half as good as musha. Nice try though. Why? Background design sucks, sprite design is boring. The whole art direction is bland and generic. The music makes me impotent and the whole mode seven scaling gives me cancer in second stage. It's an slightly above average paint by numbers shooter with annoying music at best.

>>3452941
>They made the excellent Ecco games, but then shit out two PSX Contras.
>tfw you don't really care much about the Eccos aside from the atmosphere, but kinda liked those Contra entries

I'm honestly kinda mixed.

>>3452756
>SNES has better everything else
Lower resolution (except for impractically slow modes only used for menus)
Muffled sound because of tiny sample memory
Higher color depth but still only 64KiB VRAM, so not as much graphics will fit in VRAM

>>3452872
Memorization is a skill
Input timing is a skill

Pacman played optimally is just a shit-tier rhythm game.

>>3452979
>Actually nintendo were idiots for not going with the 68k as originally planned.
I've seen several people spout this, got a source?

The NES and SNES both use a Ricoh CPU with a MOS 6502 instruction set. Nintendo probably saw no reason to change and went with what was cheap and familiar. Wouldn't you do the same?

>>3453723
Nah, they went with similar hardware to the NES because they'd intended B/C with it, but the feature got dropped.

>>3453713
The point is Pacman requires minimal memorization and execution. I give credit to Mitchell for discovering that cool route and stuff, but aside from that it's pretty trivial to pull off

>>3453641
>muh graphics, muh art
Why am I not surprised? it's obvious that cucks like you love MUSHA because it's all style over substance. And even then Super Aleste looks good enough with some impressive parallax.

>annoying music
That's something more fitting to MUSHA since not all people like harsh FM. First time I read someone dislking Super Aleste's jazzy tunes.

>>3453759
Dude, jesus may still love you but i think you are a cunt

>>3452725
they're fairly comparable overall, at least their western libraries

super famicom has a fuckton of hidden gems, though

>>3453743
A perfect game is very far from trivial. Memorization is just the starting point, you need great execution if you don't want to waste any points.

>>3452725

IMO SNES is better.

Better graphics, better controller, and better games.

Genesis had better sound. That is about it.

Both had good games but at end of day SNES just as better games.

>>3453959
Kys
Snes dont got 6 pak

>>3453825
He's just embarrassing himself trying to compare SNES shmups favorably to Genesis ones. I mean, anyone with eyes should be able to see the superiority of Genesis in that genre.

>>3453959
It's interesting that it's the sound you think is better on Genesis yet you think the graphics are better on SNES. Both graphics and sound are "fancier" on SNES but with deeper potential on Genesis. Prefering SNES games is just personal preference as there are certainly genres represented better on SNES.

The original console war remains the greatest ever as the consoles were so dramatically different but still aggressively competitive which made for the best ever environment to be a gamer. Brings a tear to the eye.

>>3452725
>which is better
>shitposting aside

>>3452725

friendly reminder that if you didn't own (or at least have access to) a SNES and a Genesis growing up, you're childhood was objectively shit.

>>3453990
>I mean, anyone with eyes should be able to see the superiority of Genesis in that genre.
You mean any genecuck sperg. Genesis had Toaplan but that's about it, not having a single Konami shmup is just as bad. And again PCE was the best because most of the big companies had great games there (Toaplan, Konami, Irem, Capcom, Compile etc)

>>3454004
> friendly reminder that if you didn't own (or at least have access to) a SNES and a Genesis growing up, you're childhood was objectively shit.
It was

>>3454179
The best Konami shmup on SNES ran like molasses and a definitive version was made to perform better and also have more content on PSX/Saturn.

In other words, bragging about Konami shmups is stupid when all you got were a couple awful ports and an inferior version of a really good game.

>>3454004
>sister had SNES which I played a lot
>I had a Genesis which I played a lot

life was good

>>3454218
Oh so Thunder Force IV is a piece of shit as well because it runs like crap compared to the Saturn version.

>awful ports
The fuck are you talking about? some people regard the SNES and PS ports of Gradius and Parodius superior to the arcades because they are much better balanced and have fairer rank, not that a clueless fuck like you would know though, you are just being a retarded fanboy.

>>3454245
>fairer

lol casual, no wonder you prefer the Nintendo ports to the Arcade

>>3454245
Comparing the slowdown in TFIV to the slowdown in Gradius III is fucking pants on head retarded, mate.

>>3454258
I'm way better at arcades than you faggot, it's just a well known fact that Parodius Da! has retarded rank and the console version fixed that. Do you even play the games or are you trying to fit in?

>>3454261
Why? blade+options makes the game runs like absolute crap most of the time, at least Gradius III was justtified because it was a launch title.

>>3454262
I probably have more 1cc's than you and I can tell you without a shadow of doubt that the Nintendo ports are rubbish.

>>3454269
Make a webm of TFIV running slow to prove your point then.

>>3454270
post you're 1cc's

>>3454261
The slowdown was not much better in the original arcade version. See for yourself: https://youtu.be/KMf-pNBCG_4 —4:30 mark, the longer into the level—the more slowdown.

>>3454273
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5pbb2zguJI
the speed is inconsistent as fuck 2bh

I like the Mega Drive (I'm European), but the SNES just overwhelms MD with its game library. Especially for me, cause I'm not really into sports games. I guess MD was the thing for PC and Amiga gamers of the time.

>>3452725

Both are pretty amazing for me, although I only had a Mega Drive growing up. But later in early 00s I experienced all the good snes games.

Mega Drive gave me Alien Soldier and Shinobi, snes gave me Chrono Trigger and emons crest.

>>3452787
>implying SNES didn't also have better plaformers, puzzle, fighting and racing games than Genesis
>playing games with shittier sound and graphics makes you hardcore

It might make you a professional retard if anything.

>>3454442
>Fighters
>SNES
Good joke!

Genesis for people who like games. SNES for otaku faggots who like animu

>>3454457
This. The only good SNES fighter was that Gundam Wing game by Natsume.

>>3454465
>SNES for people who like games. Genesis for deviant faggots who like furshit

Two can play this game anon :^)

>>3454557
>complaing about furshit when your mascot is an actual furfag

Good 1 mate.

>>3454468

What other Genesis-exclusive fighters are good, outside of Yu Yu Hakusho by Treasure?

SNES also has DBZ Super Butoden 2 which is p. good.

>>3454574
I didn't know magical costumes that can grant you cool abilities now constitutes as "fursuiting". Bet the Little Nemo in that one Cacom game's a furfag himself now eh?

>>3454604
Eternal Champions 1&2 kicked ass.

>>3454613
That is literally the definition of furfaggotry, you retard.

Anthro characters != furry. Furry is when an actual human bean dresses up as a lower animal.

>>3454618

Well if we're counting western fighters, I'll add that Killer Instinct was pretty good, too. And the SNES version is more balanced than the original arcade (albeit obviously inferior in visuals/sound)

>>3454621

Furrfags don't show their real face while on their furry costumes. The raccoon suit is more like a kigurumi rather than a furry suit.

Anyway, if you want to shitpost about Nintendo pandering to furries, there's Star Fox and krystalfags.

>>3453184
Actually is what your parents got you if they thought you weren't gay.

SNES never had anything like PTO. Pick very related.

This, I'm fucking angry at these anons who pretend to be idorts. NO YOU WERENT FAGGOTS. In my childhood I only had 1 system and I shat on the competition, and everyone esle did too. Idorts don't exist.

How do you measure betterness of a sampler versus a synthesizer.

Doesn't seem to make sense and they work completely differently and are intended for different uses.

>>3452864
>>3456715

To put it another way, how can you say the snes is objectively superior when it can't generate it's own waveforms, and can't play a single sound(other than noise) without obvious compression artifacts? The genesis can.

Neither is a superset of the other. They're just different.

>>3452725
SNES has somewhat better graphics imho
Genesis is faster
SNES has more RAM for sound
Genesis still sounds way better (if properly handled)
SNES has good composite but not so good RGB
Genesis has terrible composite but perfect RGB
SNES has a small but very comfy controller with MOAR buttons
Genesis pad is clunky af
SNES has better JRPGs
Genesis has more sports games ... jaaaajj! No Genesis has AWESOME games

>>3452954
The SNES pad has directly influenced EVERY successful console controller for the past 25 years and will probably still be used in the generation of games machines, not much of a contest there.

>>3459293

I did too (had a SNES for a couple years before the Genesis) but it's still fun to take sides and argue with each other like we're back on the playground in the 90's.

>>3459341
But man, I was 7-8 when the 5th gen consoles came out. I barely remember the 4th gen aside from a TV ad or two. Ergo how could I have argued about that on the school playground.

>>3459620
Yeah, it's got a respectable library.

Nah, they aren't generic. Play 3, 1 and 2 are nice, but 3 is the real meat.

I have a 2 model Mega Drive and when i put the game in and turn it on, the screen goes black as if there is some sort of signal coming from the system, but no picture comes on. Only once it managed to boot the game up, but it was extremely slowed down and it froze after a few seconds. Is the console dead or is the game a problem or is it the 9v AC adapter I'm using (the proper one is 10v) help me /vr/ you are my only hope

>>3461380
>Is the console dead or is the game a problem or is it the 9v AC adapter I'm using (the proper one is 10v)
Does your power adapter say MK-2103 on it? Mine does, that's what you should be using.

Also do you hear any sound?

>>3461385
the thing is, it's not OEM Sega adapter, just a universal one, the kind that allows you to set the voltage

>>3452725
there is a good avgn video about this

>>3465184
Yikes.

>>3465184
The Genesis has less proprietary components than the SNES, just the graphics chip which some arcade boards also use, so it's not exclusive to it. The sound chip is an off the shelf component and the CPU is a completely stock 68000 while the SNES has a custom 65816 with several support functions integrated onto the chip.

yeah it seems to be increasingly common to have SNES CPU failures and worrisome because it's a custom part that you can't really replace.

I wonder if it's something in the construction of the CPUs that's causing them to deteriorate.

>>3465197
Some ICs were made in such a way that the connecting wires leading from the chip die to the pins would fail. Poor design choices that are starting to become an issue now.

>>3465193
Aside from CPU functions, the 5A22 also does interrupt generation, controller input, and DMA. In many cases, a partially functional chip will allow some games to work fine but not others. If the DMA controller is bad, some games won't work, many others will. A bad multiplier/divider will let you play many side scrollers without a hitch, but try out Mario Kart and it completely fucks up. Or even bad address lines, which means smaller games like SMW will run, but larger titles like FF VI will bomb.

>>3461358
Yet you could welcome the likes of Yellow, Pink, and Red Sonic with open arms.

>>3465197
From the anecdotal evidence I can find, it seems that most of the failing SNESes are the original SHVC boards. I suspect there was a manufacturing defect in the CPUs that was not discovered until later.

I don't know what board revision mine is because I don't have the correct screwdriver to open it with, but I think it's not an SHVC because the serial number is UN268119995 which means it's more likely a SNS-GPM board. AFAIK most SHVC models had a serial number beginning with 1.

But both of those games aren't very good.

PS1 romhacking will make its stride one day...

During elementary school my crew and I were the most prominent gamers there. We had a lot of different systems between us and we welcomed anyone who wanted to join us and talk games even a "that kid." I remember my one friend who owned all Nintendo and I arranged a very early Genesis/SNES 1-week trade. I remember he lent me Ultraman (around the time it came out in North America) and SMW. Now our friend with he TG-16 was not so lucky. I mean we thought Bonk was cool when he bust that out but we were never too interested in a trade there. In fact I don't remember "that kid" ever making up any TG-16 claims.

>>3465340

go go ackman 3 is pretty good though

>>3452725
I never had a Genesis/MD while growing up, I had a SNES. I've been looking into it lately though because it interests me.
I feel the SNES has the better 'known' game library, the Sega probably has way more gems though I assume. The average SNES game seems to have better graphics and sound than the average Genesis/MD game although multiplats seem to be very similar.

>>3454468
SF II, Killer Instinct, DBZ SB, Clayfighter, Mortal Kombat are also good fighters. And for those that were released in both consoles, the SNES has the better versions.

>Genesis pad is clunky af

Get the 6-button pad, you are gonna had orgasms!

>>3459113
>Genesis still sounds way better (if properly handled)

Electronic farts, unrecognizable scratchy instruments and machine beeps sound better? Even the Game Boy sounds good when "properly handed".

>>3452785
Holy shit I used to play this all the time on the snes

>>3468512

It can sound better if used well, but it won't always. Some instruments are very difficult to replicate with FM, but it excels at some kinds of music. The snes' tiny sound ram imposed plenty of limitations as well.

>>3468512
>MOMMY, what's a sound driver.?

Hi Autismo. How was your vacation at banned camp?

>>3468840
Hi Autismo guy, how you been doing on the van?

>>3469046
I'm not the creator of Autismo, I just saved his image for the lulz.

You can tell it's Autismo when he starts rambling on about how "horrible" the Genesis SPU is like a sperglord.

>>3469048

Do you always copy other people's memes?

>>3469123
Just the good ones, like Australia-kun, Penguin Monogatari, Fire Emblem, Autismo and Gackt.

>>3469123
Memes spread. That's how they work.

>>3452756
Why do people always leave out that Genesis also had way faster RAM than the SNES?

RAM bandwidth is pretty fundamental for performance.

>me trying to play sonic

Genesis has Alien Soldier
SNES doesn't

Had both, loved both. You might have given allegiance to one or the other in jest but you were a fool if you didn't fucking love and own and play both.

And this is why that era of gaming is good and today's PS vs XBawks vs Nintendo shitfest is cancer.

>>3469269
SNES has Hagane.

Genesis doesn't.

>>3470086
Who needs Hagane when you have Super Shinobi and Shadow Dancer?

>>3470093
>>3470086
>>3469269

Just get both consoles you dense ugmos.

>>3470093
Both of those games are much easier than Hagane and therefore worse.

>>3456403

There are quite a few shitty games in there too.

PC Engine has Rondo of Blood.

Mega Drive and Super NES don't.

>>3470209

MD and SNES still got great Castlevania titles, but yeah, Rondo is one of, if not THE best game on the PCE.

>>3470209
Super IV > Bloodlines > Nintendo Dracula X > NEC Dracula X

>>3470219
get out

>>3470224
You first, RoBabby.

>>3470219
>CDX above RoB
what the fuck am I reading

>>3470270
Both of them have merits over the other. The real shamefur disrpay is the fact that Dracula X wasn't included on the Rondo of Blood PSP port.

>>3470287

I would have been happy if they included at least the SNES soundtrack as unlockable for the custom OST. Some of the songs I like on SNES better.

>>3470287
At least Dracula X Chronicles paid some homage to the SNES game, though.

>>3470086
Hagane and Actraiser are the only game on the snes I really respect. But they're not better than Alien Soldier.

>>3470343
You don't like the SNES Natsume games, anon?

>>3470209
>Super NES don't.
You sure about that, mate?

>>3470343
>Hagane and Actraiser are the only game on the snes I really respect

Wow, a true, real Hardcore Gamer!

Can I be your friend anon?

>>3452725
Who fucking cares? Any retro game enthusiast should have both.

I grew up with an SNES as a kid... No way to convince my mom to have two different same gen consoles at the time.

Eventually as an adult picked up a Genesis because they both have great game libraries.

Anyone that chooses one over the other nowadays when either console can be picked up for $10 at a flea market is fucking retarded.

>>3470396
Piss off with that shitty port. Only nostalgic Nintendildos that had to settle on playing that trash instead of importing the real deal care about it.

>>3470449
>nintendildos

Hi australia-kun.

>>3470453
Hi Svedish schizoid that thinks everyone is Australia-kun. You know Google personalises your results to match your bubble, right?

>>3470468

>australia-kun calling others schizo

Pretty funny.

Yeah, sure it's not you, Australia-kun.

>>3470472
I'm not the one applying nicknames to random anonymous people like a loon.

>>3470474
Because only this "Australia-kun" can use the Nintendildo insult, right?

>>3470346
Never said I don't. I love Wild Guns and The Ninja Warriors. Not a fan of Harvest Moon though.
Maybe my word choices were poor, but I meant those two were the games that I really felt jealous back then.

>>3470492
>Because only this "Australia-kun" can use the Nintendildo insult, right?

Reading all the posts containing "nintendildo" on the archive, yeah, it seems only you use it.

>>3470496
Can you prove that all those posts actually belong to me, though...?

>>3470503

Even if not all of them are from you, most of them are

It's you, Australia.

>>3470512
It's not, that's an imposter trying to undermine me.

You would make a good Scooby Doo villain. You're dorky and clumsy but not entirely evil, and you're easy to uncover.
