You're allowed to dislike good taste anon

>>7343882
It was too powerful, too 3D capable, and too affordable. You have to consoom superfx or else youre not a real gaymer.

>>7343890
I don't know about that but it's certainly not the irredeemable disaster people love to pretend it is

>>7343956
name five games

here u go have fun lazy bum https://vsrecommendedgames.fandom.com/wiki/Mega_Drive

The games were shit. Sonic is a garbage platformer and everything else was shovelware.

Sega aided and abetted a pedo.

where's the lie?

>>7344162
Segatards will duck this issue.

There's nothing wrong with Mega Drive but Sega of America and their marketing bullshit was just cringy.

>American here. What is that?
Late adopter here, more like.
The first Genesis also looked like this.

>>7344182
>Sega of America and their marketing bullshit was just cringy.
I disagree

>>7344210
cringy, its actually the other way around, Sega systems were always nogames vaporware

how dare they

it has like no games for it aside from the same handful of series. and then everything else on it is mediocre
sorry but i think 2d platformers are shit and boring. beat em ups feel straight up awful to play. they are so fucking stiff and its not satisfying to go through the stages

what else does the genesis have aside from that? basically nothing

>>7343882
no muhrio

>>7343882
What are you talking about? It's literally the best sega console and was an honorable competitor to the snes.

>>7343882

My sega cd wont play my burned games and i have no idea why. Therefore the entire Genesis is a total hunk of junk

>>7343882
Nincels or Soncels don't want us to like it. But for those of us who don't console war or those of us who like Sega, embrace the Genesis.

>>7344223
>No games
>vaporware

Contradicted by this anon's image ---> >>7344210

good taste

In my experience people who prefer Genesis just like games and there are a fuckton of unique ones on the system. But being over all likers of games they also recognize the SNES also has a ton of great games even if in general they prefer those on Genesis.

Nintendo fans on the other hand tend to specifically like games made by Nintendo so the whole Genesis library turns them off.

>>7343963
Toejam & Earl 2 (first game is boring come at me)
Sonic
Vapor trail
Golden axe
Sub terrania

>>7345524
Good shit, though the Wily Wars versions of MM1-3 are inferior to the NES versions aside from graphics

>>7343882
my guess is because it didnt fare well in japan
jap devs that stuck with MD were 2nd grade companies making arcade action games, and big companies like Capcom/Konami weren't committed to the console
Sega's 1st party output was similarly arcade oriented mostly
and the console lacked jrpgs beyond PS/shining force
the rest of the library was Western games that aged like shit mot of time

>>7345672
>Konami weren't committed to the console
16 games weren't enough?

>>7345752
Would be nice of them to port Gradius (after porting it to shitton of systems) and Gradius II on the Gensy, or even make an exclusive entry like they did with Contra and Castlevania.

>>7343910
Fellow American here. My first video game device.

>>7344023
>Ctrl+F
>No Battle Mania
seriously?

>>7345752
they were more committed than some companies and surely they made Castlevania and Contra for MD, but they made way more games for SNES and it was clear SNES was their bigger focus. that's what I meant. they didnt make Axelay or Gradius or Twinbee or Goemon to MD, as well as some other of their IPs.

>>7345672
>Capcom/Konami weren't committed to the console
both were under Nintendo's contracts at the time, both only started developing for Sega systems c. 1992 / 1993

>>7344774
That was in 1991, when the SNES first released and Genesis had been out for 2 years.

>early 1990s picture
Both systems ended up with 800 games or so in the American and PAL markets, but if you count Japan-only games the SFC / SNES has like 1700 games and the MD / Gen a little over 900 (1000~1100 range if you count CD and 32X games).

probably half of these are mahjong anyway

>>7343882
This is a nintendo board

>>7343963
Sonic
Streets of Rage
Columns
Monster World IV
Castlevania Bloodlines
Alien Soldier
Gunstar Heroes
Dynamite Headdy
Toejam & Earl
Pulseman

>>7343882
Who the fuck said you're not?

OHHHH I know! You're thinking of the Shiturn!

>>7343882
Because it has only 3 fucking buttons and no shoulder buttons.

THREE (3) (III) fucking buttons!!

>>7346185
*breaks your lore*

>>7346190
yeah ok, do any games even utilise more than 6? I doubt you can develop a game for the system and just hoping a bunch of people will have 6-button gamepads.

>>7346194
meant more than 3
typo!

>>7343882
those gamepads also worked with the Amiga, which was cool as fuck

>>7346003
Doesn't matter. Sega had more games thanks to the head start, many of the games on the genesis are good. Sega also has more mature rated games than the SNES too.

>>7346069
I don't count Japan since I don't play any Japanese only games, due to the Japanese texts. But I also don't count the add-ons, because then I would have to include the SMS games and the Game Boy games too, due to the Power Base Converter and the Super Game Boy cartridge. Either way I'm certain Genesis has more games due to the head start.

>>7346194
>do any games even utilise more than 3
fightan

>>7343882
Who's "we"? Nobody came to me and told me not to like it.

>>7344092
This but replace sonic with mario.

>>7344223
zoom along now

>>7346194
A bunch of the games that came out later did. Comix Zone and Beyond Oasis make use of them heavily for example as well as the obvious fighting games etc.

>>7343927
Something from 30 years ago that might have just released in your jungle communist state.

>>7345783
That is a shame and strange, true. Also it's called Trouble Shooter over here, weeby.

>>7343882

When I was growing up my brother had a Sega, and I love streets of rage, toe jam and earl, and sonic, there are a lot of really great games for it and the only thing that can limit you from having fun is worrying about others peoples opinions

Like what you like, and life is a joy

I wish all of you the best gaming experience ever

>>7343882
Because you are an NPC.

>>7347790
And has got a fugly generic boxart that IMHO makes the infamous "MegaRetard" look like a masterpiece.

If you dont like the MD you are basically admitting that you don't like arcade games, which is basically the same as admitting that you are a mouthbreathing zoomer.
