shitty color palette made them look gritty

Falseflag console warring thread, OP wasn't alive when 4th gen was current.
Probably trying to falseflag to capitalize on the fact Eric is feminine, thus juxtaposing with his virile remark. Bad bait.

>>7068060
Well from what I heard 68000 cpu assembly is very enjoyable to program for but the apple IIgs cpu in the snes was very slow and hamstrung

>>7068063
It wasn't just the visuals though, it was also the sound, the concept art, the themes, the difficulty, etc. Absolutely everything felt more vigorous and adult. It was like you were playing arcade-level stuff in the comfort of your own home for free.

>>7068064
I wasn't just alive during 4th gen, I was playing anything I could get my hands on, cretin.

Also Eric doesn't look feminine, only blue-collar Americans think so. The rest of the whole fucking world would associate Eric with European noblemen who probably bashed your slavish, bald-headed ancestors' skulls-in for even looking at him the wrong way, nevermind calling him feminine.

I'm guessing you only had a SNES rather than both?

>>7068075
lol I've noticed this phenomenon before, try this. Call literally any male character "effete" its worse than faggot to them

>>7068065
And how would that contribute to the difference? The Sega devs found it easier to code, so they had more time to focus on stuff like the overall feeling of playing? Or what?

>>7068082
it allowed for smaller teams and more passion. Same with the Neo geo

>>7068075
Here's the thing: you aren't even of european DNA, mohammad.
Console warring is a mental illness and you should seek help.

>>7068105
Not him be can we all admit N64 was dogshit?

>>7068110
>we
How many are there inside of your head? Besides the whole Nintendo corporation.

>>7068105
I didn't say anything about my race, I said the whole world would make the association of Eric being a European nobleman. Except for the uncouth retards they had to censor Eric's appearance for.

This also is not a console war. Only poor kids with one console think it should be the best at everything. While not as virile, the SNES had excellent colors and fairy-tale worlds, making it the best system if you wanted to play easy co-op with your little sister. There is also a large jarpig library, if you wished to teach her to read with very simple stories.

>>7068110
Probably their worst console after, Wii, so yes

>>7068117
>Eric being a European nobleman
Sorry to burst your bubble, shitposter, but Eric was designed feminine probably influenced by japanese onnagata, not "european noblemen" (who weren't feminine at all, they were all big nosed inbreds with deformed skulls and teeth).
Don't worry though, you don't descend from noblemen anyway (although are probably equally inbred).
As for SNES or Mega Drive being virile, let's say that all this talk is showing signs about some of your own insecurities. May want to invest in therapy.

>one of those kids who hung out with the girls all the time.
Lol fag friend zoned kids
>>7068063
Dynamite Headdy, Sonic 3, Comix Zone all look amazing despite Genesis' colour limitation.


All this boils down to is SNES was an inferior system.

>>7068139
I mean, yeah it's funny to remember those kids who hanged out with girls and probably turned out to be gay, but then there's people like you who never even touched any girl.

Sega owners where blacks with BBC's its only natural it seems more masculine and virile then the sissy white boy SNES

>>7068150
>IP count still the same
What's the matter OP, you think your bait is too weak and need to enforce some of your racial traumas into the mix? Nice.
This is one of the reasons why I enjoy the new /vr/. It may not be quality, but the lack of proper moderation makes for some funny real mental illness display that's somehow fun to watch.

>>7068142
>but then there's people like you who never even touched any girl.
I'd rather 1CC Ghouls and Ghosts than try and befriend a bunch of girls.

>>7068160
Too bad you can't do even that. Only shitpost.

>>7068157
Just because it's an earlier poster, doesn't mean it's the OP. I'm the OP and that's not me

>>7068165
The fact you needed to come up and post a shitty edit screenshot in a defensive manner shows that it was, indeed, just you samefagging.
IP count STILL 6, by the way.

How many simultaneous Castlevania threads do you need, autist

They were going for a slightly different audience, like someone said the Mega Drive limited color palette also wasn't capable of having games as colorful as the SNES or PC Engine.

>>7068171
I don't see why I'd need to deny it, even if it really was me. They agreed on my premise, just based on different reasoning. If you think that's me then fine, but both I and that poster know that we are different people, at least. Watching IP counts as if it meant anything is exactly the kind of paranoia that thinks samefagging would be some grave offence though. Similarly, if I wanted to full you with that one I would just use a new IP address. But it's just pure insanity to think any of that matters, or that there would be anything gained out of lying. You should move to a non-anon forum if this stuff concerns you so much.

>>7068278
thats where you're wrong

>At school
>virile and mature
come on now. every kid in the world wanted DKC and you still can't get over it.

as a snesfag who liked "serious" games i was really happy to play games like doom and wolfenstein 3d while megadrive fags only had disney games to brag about

Bruh look at this dude.

>>7068306
You have to be joking you preferred SNES Doom over Genesis Aladdin? Theres no way.


DKC was a mad platformer, I'll give u that.

PC-88 had a 4-bit color palette as opposed to Mega Drive's 6. There was really no excuse not to have colorful games on that system.

>>7068306
Donkey Kong Country is one of the worst platformers ever made. All it had going for it was that CGI style gimmick that looks awful

>>7068319
He just looks more Asian for the Asian market

>>7068404
How do you figure that? Has kick ass graphics, sweet tunes and controls are decent. You didn't even like those mine cart levels?

To this day I regret giving my copy away.

Sega's marketing.

Sega was cool and badass. Nintendo was for kiddies.

And you're still falling for it.

>>7068910
But the actual games capture this distinction perfectly

>>7068910
"Nintendo was for kiddies."? Nintendo IS for kiddies. It still holds true even today.
Nintendo target their games primarily at 10 year olds.

>>7068060
Not sure what's sadder: 30-something-year-olds starting fights about obsolete kids' toys, or teenagers pretending to be 30-something-year-olds starting fights about obsolete kids' toys.

>>7068105
Can Americans think about anything other than race and black dicks?

>>7068060
GENESIS DOES

>>7068060
because the console was black and you probably played it in a den next to your uncle's ash tray

>>7069897
It looked less like cheap SNES plastic for that reason

>>7069013

>>7069893
WHAT NINTODDONT

>>7069387
What does it have to do with Castlevania anyway? Everyone is European in it and likes other Europeans.

>>7068060
>Why did Genesis games
Higher resolution. Faster processor. More headroom in the controls. better sound chip.

>>7068060
Why do you think Castlevania on megadrive is more "virile and mature" than castlevania on SNES?
Castlevania Bloodlines was censored in the west too btw, even the intro was re-written to tone it down.

>>7068060
>At school, SNES was cool for the first month it came out but then it became embarrassing if people knew you still played it

Want to know how I know you're roleplaying?

I feel Nintendo catered for the Asian market a lot more than Sega did in terms of "kawaii", it's culturally different and it shows. It's cutesy warm feels driven gaming was welcomed by the "mature" Asian and kids globally for its cuddly comfy wholesomeness.

Sega had the same level of gameplay and design awareness if not better in many cases but were also lot more open to developers expressing themselves without the brand image constraints of Nintendo. Sega could then afford to be perceived as the darker and rougher, and for lack of a better word at this time "edgier" of the 2 brands.

>>7072308
That still doesn't play into OP's narrative.
Neither Castlevania IV or Dracula X are "cutesy", at all. If anything, PC Engine is the one that got the cute classicvania. Well, and Dracula-kun if you want to count that for GB and NES, but not SNES.
This whole "sega is more mature" is such bullshit lmao, not because I think nintendo was also mature, but because I think the whole concept of "video games are mature" is such bullshit. Wanting video games to be mature is what I wanted when I was 10 and played Mortal Kombat. On the other hand, "mature gamers" nowadays prefer non-gameplay narrative games with political agendas, so whatever.
What I meant to say is that Sega also did a lot of cute games, Fantasy Zone, Castle of Illusion and Wonder Boy Monster Lair are some of my favorite Sega games ever.
I know Monster Lair is by westone, but fuck it, it's a Sega exclusive.

>>7072327
no pic related in the op. im talking from my 80s/90s childhood experience of the brands and titles, and what ive played over the years to date. thats not to say nintendont have no maturer titles, RE4s best version is on wii. they make an effort but its so overwhelmed by "kawaii" brigade fodder

>>7072327
As an example... look at Mario3 and then look at kid chameleons. Very similar gameplay... but... Sega was tiers above in difficulty, the nuances of gameplay in KC, the level sizes... and it's aesthetic was less cutesy...

>>7068060
judjing by the stretch dimensions on the sticker, its a bootleg

>>7072376
I'm not defending nintendo, I'm simply saying that Sega has its good share of cutesy stuff too, and I love it. And I also loved Mortal Kombat when I was 10, nowadays I prefer Street Fighter.
>>7072394
Kid Chameleon? I don't think it's similar in gameplay other than the fact it's a platformer with powerups. Bigger levels doesn't really tell me anything, in fact I'm not a fan of western-style maze levels, I prefer the more minimalist (but more finely crafted) shorter levels with dynamic set pieces like in traditional japanese arcade side-scrollers.
Kid Chameleon was a Sega of America game, yeah you can thrown in also Eternal Champions or Shinobi as more mature games, but Nintendo also had stuff like Metroid and Killer Instinct, so...
I get it though, the general view of people is that nintendo is for kids and sega is cooler, at least in the west. That is true and Sega's marketing clearly wanted to reflect that (despite nintendo also having its share of edgy marketing in the 90s too), but when you actually see the games, there's all kind of stuff mixed in. Nintendo of America had the infamous Mortal Kombat 1 episode where they censored the blood, but that's more of a regional politic decision and anyway MKII and subsequents were all uncensored. Some of the Mega Drive's most cherished games have cute anime aesthetic, and frankly I don't see how this is a problem unless you're 12 and in fear of not being seen as tough.

>>7068060
Sega Chads smashed all the pussy in the 90s while Nintendo tards were the incels of their time.

>>7068060
Shut up, Zoomer.

Snes had mario kart which is badass

they really fucked up the american SNES

the japanese console is sexy a.f.

>>7068063
Genesis color palette is actually very good, full of bright and vibrant tones. It's the total amount on screen limit that end getting a bit screwed sometimes (good developers knows how to work with that though)

>>7068278
Ristar and Dynamite Headdy would like to talk with you

>>7068150
Lololol, based.

>>7068306
I can tell that your gaming collection is bland. There's no fixing that if you continue the console wars.

>>7068060
Actually it was about even. Sega always had some kiddy stuff as a counterpart to Nintendo's, and the snes and n64 had mature games. It's only after then that Nintendo became full soi/kid/woman games.

>>7068068
The Genesis had a better CPU and lent itself better to action-heavy arcade games. Also had a lot of ports of computer games which skewed toward an older audience.

The SNES had a ton of RPGs because it was slower and ate shit trying to run more intensive genres like shmups.

>>7068419
DKC isn't a bad game, not in the same way that stuff from Acclaim and LJN were bad, but it's a textbook case of style over substance.

>>7074709
American kids kept putting drinks on the flat NES top and spilling them, so it was redesigned to discouraged that. The lavender-on-white color scheme is certainly unique though, I think it looks better than the bright primary colors on JP/EU controllers.

>>7068064
Wow, you sure know a lot about this guy, schizo.
