Face it my fellow genesis bros, not only is the Super Nintendo a better console, but so is the PC engine/turbografx16. Genesis is 3rd place in the 4th gen console wars.

I grew with genesis, but pc engine feels like a classier more refined system. The graphics look better in many cases, with the exception of sega games like altered beast and golden axe. Genesis simply doesn't have the extensive library of spaceship shooters that the pce has. Genesis just has sonic, streets of rage, golden axe and the same stuff that has been ported to every system since.

Who cares about spaceship shooters?

I grew up with SNES and I've never pursued Genesis stuff much, but still I've blundered into maybe ten or so good Genesis games that I liked enough to play through on an emulator as an adult. (None of them is Sonic. None has been mentioned in this thread thus far. None of them is obscure.) I wasn't even trying. There are probably loads of them out there. Genesis is a good console.

I have never heard about or seen on YouTube even one TurboGrafx-16 game that I wanted to play. Could a game like that exist? Yeah of course. But come on dude. Surely it would have become sorta famous by now?? I mean yeah Bonk is probably fine, whatever. Myabe it's great. Other than that though, I only ever hear about space shooters. And does anybody REALLY care about those????

cringe bro, spaceship shooters are a quintessential retro genre.
Games like blazing lazers, darius plus, R-Type 1 & 2, Super Star soldier, and Final Soldier are absolutely breathe taking on the PC engine.
It also has great versions of Salamander and Gradius, the best version of Street Fighter 2 championship edition and great versions of Ninja Gaiden and Splatterhouse. It's version of Space harrier was better than any of the home releases at the time and better than than space harrier 2 on the genesis. Not only that, the PC engine CD has the best Castlevania game of the 4th generation, and arguable the best Castlevania game of all time with Rondo of blood. It also has Ys book 1&2. and then there are the quirky weird games like keith courage, Genpei tourmaden Ni no maki, etc. that give the console even more soul.
All around the Super Nintendo has more to offer, but the genesis is a ghetto shit box compared to the majesty, prestige, and elegance of the PC engine.

No one is arguing in good faith. At least list what you find to be the top on each system, preferably by genre, and judge on that. And no fucking ports. I'm only casually familiar with these but here's my attempt at a fair comparison:

Genesis was the 16 bit racing game powerhouse. Road Rash, Test Drive 2, F1, Kawasaki Superbike Challenge, and Super Monaco GP were the best racing games you could find on a 16 bit console. Yes, Road Rash games and Test Drive II are undeniably better than mario kart.

Road Rash has SLOPES. It's also even more fast paced than F Zero and had more satisfying thrashing than Mario Kart. It's a perfect combination of semi-realism and action. I don't know what but there's something about Road Rash that gives it a better sense of weight and momentum than Mario Kart.

The Road Rash engine was pretty good overall. I think it only runs at 15-20FPS, but it does a good job creating the look of simulated scaling sprites. The engine was also used in Skitch'n as well.

Road rash is cheap trash compared to the elegance of super Hang on and Mario Kart.
Looking at road rash on my tv makes me want to puke.
Mario kart snes is still fun multiplayer almost 3 decades later.
Super hang on is a beautiful Yu Susuke masterpiece with bright colors and better music. It doesn't look like washed out trash like road rash.

Also mario kart series didn't get fun until mario kart 64. Snes mario kart's track is laughably small and flat, and the game's resolution is awful. Super hang on looks colourful and smooth but it's just a boring derivative 2D racing game.
