Genesis is for joggers

SNES is tops for RPGs and everything that does not require much processing power. Genesis is great for fast action games. /thread

>>7437719
objective truth, what adult wants to play shit like skyblazer

>>7437719
Kolibri is a damn beautiful game, so is ecco the dolphin and eternal champions. Much more mature color palettes, than the hyper saturation of fucking dkc and yoshis island, though kirby 3 is nice.

The Mega Drive was the superior system. But the SNES had the most amount of heart and soul. Despite the slowdowns and the subpar chiptune, it was a simply fantastic system with great software. It also didn't help that SEGA mismanaged themselves to irrelevancy.

SNES is for people who enjoy VG music.
Genesis is for people who enjoy BWANNNG

Both consoles were owned and played by children, the only adults that play them are the ones who played them as children before. Genesisfags and their obsession with being "mature" will never not be the most ironic thing.

>>7437719
You clearly have an issue with the fact that you're an adult that likes to play with children's toys. I'd advise seeking counselling.

>>7438050
OP is probably being ironic, but it's weird to see how people still rationalise their console purchases nowadays on this bizarre presumption of maturity that system X has over system Y.

I know OP is baiting but I have seen so many Genesis kids who unironically believe it. Both consoles have a lot of great games, but the fanboys are the worst. It's either ignorant nintendo fans who never play anything else or salty sega fans that pretend to be "mature" and list the specs of their chosen console to win arguments.

SNES and Genesis = Manchildren and those with mental deficiencies
Super Famicom and Megadrive = Adults in general, and people who enjoy games with artistic merit

>>7437992
SNES is for people who tolerate low quality muffled sounding shit (kids).
Mega Drive is for people who enjoy high quality, crisp, hardware produced FM synthesis sound that is totally iconic, like Streets of Rage 1/2, Sonic 1/2/3/knuckles, Ecco, Batman, Alien Soldier, Revenge of Shinobi, Castlevania Bloodlines and many more.

This is why MD has the defining music of that video game era and is often attempted to be recreated today.

>This is why MD has the defining music of that video game era and is often attempted to be recreated today.
I'm literally shaking right now.

Everyone knows that the Mega Drive had the best sound. But you are out of your mind if you ignore the iconic tunes of so many SNES games. The SNES produced generation defining music. This isn't just about hardware.

Thank you for acknowledging KDL3 is nice, Segafriendo. I still remember picking it up in late 98/early 99, with my grandpa at Hills when there were still some SNES games left on store shelves. Got my SNES Jr. on Christmas of 98 and didn't get my N64 until Christmas of 99.

>>7437787
I would play DKC over any of those trash Sega games.

>>7437719
SNES btfos the Genesis in RPGs, adventure games, platformers, and has way more quirky offbeat experimental stuff.
Genesis btfos SNES in shmups and run n' guns and beatemups but never quite got out of being a home for arcade style games.

I'd say SNES wins for having a purely better library overall across a wider array of genres.
Genesis had slightly superior hardware outside of sound but it just seems like the people making games for it weren't interested in making games outside the box. Also it needs to be said, the SNES controller became an industry standard that has lasted until this day with the shoulder buttons and 4 button diamond shape, nobody uses the clumsy 3 in a row system.

>>7438303
>nobody uses the clumsy 3 in a row system.
Using your left index finger to press buttons is much more awkward.

>>7438318
Shoulder buttons are absolutely fine. Are you possibly disabled?

>>7438320
Pressing L on a SNES pad isn't as easy as C on a Genesis. Try playing both libraries to figure out why.

>>7438339
But it's easier to press L at the same time as XYBA

>>7438303
>shoulder buttons and 4 button diamond shape, nobody uses the clumsy 3 in a row system.
I love the shoulder buttons but I would rather have the 3 in a row(6 overall) over the diamond. Hence why the Saturn controller is the best one ever made.

>>7437719

>still playing videogames
Yea, it was a console for NEET failures alright.

>>7438346
I would still rather have this.

>>7438368
I'm with what that other anon said. Shoulder buttons plus 6 buttons instead if the diamond. It would be better for fighting games, and still have the convenience of shoulders.

All you have to do is go head-to-head with the music in the arcad3 ports. Listen to the music in SF2 or MK2 and tell me honestly that Genesis music sounds better.
I'm not saying that there is no good music on Genesis but it takes an outstanding composer to bring good tunes out of that console, like the Streets of Rage guy.
At the end of the day, nothing I have listened to in the Genesis library can compare to the soundscape of "Aquatic Ambience" from DKC or surprise me like the grooves from the semi-obscure Brain Lord.

I really enjoy both of these video game consoles plus Turbografx 16

>>7438285
Im neither a sega fanboy or Nintendo fanboy. I own both a genesis and saturn and a super famicom and a NES... I also have a moderate gameboy collection.. I was just shitposting, but kirby 3 is never talked about enough. Its my favorite kirby game.

>>7438296
Dkc is a classic platformer, but im burnt out on donkey kong, i just replayed both dk94 and mario vs donkey kong. Ecco is more desirable to me atm, besides, ecvo is a tough as balls game ans i need that challenge.

>>7438425
And the 2 extra face buttons would be so fucking awesome. Im always trying to find a good controller for pc games, but they never have enough fucking buttons.

>>7438663
Sonic 3 actually has some of the most impressive song composing in videogames. They sound less like videogame music and more like a conceptual instrumental album. Im not downplaying dkc music, im just saying s3 holds its own to any nintendo medley

>kirby 3 is never talked about enough
The SNES was dead after 1996, this game was released in late 1997 when the only other games still being made were shovelware downgrade versions of yearly sports title.

>>7437719
>play Genesis

So many fun action arcade games, schmups, beat em ups, fast paced platformers and surprisingly solid sports titles. Superior versions of games toolike Earthworm Jim or Mortal Kombat. It was a console for people who lived life on the edge, just constant momentum just go-go-go, the whole thing was a frenetic, kinetic movement that has never been repeated since.

>play SNES
Lot's of boring, slow and tepid platformers being overshadowed by Bing Bing Wahoo World, which was the shittiest and easiest 2D Mario out of the original quadrology. Very very slow platformers with shitty music, and the only other genre you could enjoy in reasonable quantities were slow, boring JRPGs, that genre only mentally stunted hobgoblins enjoy, where you mash A repeatedly over dialogue and commands to grind for hours on end.

About the only really actual good game was DKC2, and thats purely due to the witchcraft of Rareware at the time. Anything else was a bust. I'm seriously curious as to what kind of person grew up with the SNES and how its affected them later on in life. Are they THAT boring and slow witted like those games?

>inb4 euro cope

Yeah nah, nice try, but I was born and raised in the American heartlands, this isnt the eternal euro cope that most of you Nintendofags like to use a lot of the time. I later on of course moved on to Nintendo with N64 onwards due to the shitty Saturn imploding but Genesis was the real deal. Its okay to admit you lost at least one generation cycle. Not in terms of sales but in terms of winning the people's hearts. Why else are we still debating this shit to this day?

>>7437719
Agreed except for the artist part

>>7438320
Shoulder buttons are cancer for fighting games

>>7438913
except mortal kombat

they permanently crippled the Genesis controller and the controls for every game on the system for all eternity just to cuck for SF2

>>7438920
>more face buttons
>crippled
Although most games didn't utilize all 6 buttons it definitely was not a hindrance.

>>7438892
>i need a console for my xtreme lifestyle!
>picks N64 in 5th gen when Playstation was clearly the more xtreme console
Sounds like you were more interested in dickriding Rare

>>7438920
You can't play fighting games with only 3 buttons, retard. That would be a big problem for the official console of Mortal Kombat.

>>7437719
This is currently the worst thread on /vr/

In retrospective, I believe more are coming to realize that the shit SNES was the same old story as Nintendo's other shoddy consoles: entirely riding the wave of their trite and overstated IPs, with virtually nothing of interest if you don't play Nintendo garbage, a console for the cultists as usual. You're far better off with virtually any other 16-bit platform: Mega Drive, PC Engine, X68000, Neo Geo, Amiga...

>>7438965
NOOO NOT MY HECKIN NINTENDARINOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

>>7438969
The Amiga was shit is shit and will always be shit, Australia-kun. The SNES will always be considered the greatest 16-bit system and you'll be here seething, dilating and coping for the rest of your days.

>>7438976
Congratulations, I specifically listed the Amiga last because I knew you would beeline right past all those other far superior options. How does it feel to be this pathetically predictable? You're not able to cope with there being so many better 16-bit platforms, so you try to pick on the easiest target, the computer from a whole 4 years prior, but even there, your precious shit SNES is BTFO, where the Amiga can easily do 3D games without any expensive and cheating expansion chips, unlike your overrated and ultimately quite poor SNES. It's really too bad, the 16-bit generation is the finest generation of gaming out there, if you would only spend some time outside of your shitty Nintendo box you might come to discover just how much you're missing out on.

europoor garbage was never good for games. Despite being good hardware the games market was saturated with untalented Euro shitflingers

>>7438986
How does it feel to make the same posts over and over knowing that despite your best seethe nothing will ever change? Nobody will ever read your autistic meltdown and think "wtf i love the amiga now?".

>>7438958
we were talking about shoulder buttons vs face. MK actually works relatively decently on the standard Genesis controller. but with 6 buttons, 4 + shoulders is best.

>>7438939
>Although most games didn't utilize all 6 buttons it definitely was not a hindrance.
I'm still mad the "stand still" button in Contra HC is a toggle unlike every other run and gun game

>>7438986
>where the Amiga can easily do 3D games without any expensive and cheating expansion chips
I feel like there might be better options for 3D games than the Amiga? haven't researched it but that's what my gut says.

>>7438998
>I feel like there might be better options for 3D games than the Amiga?
Beside the point. The Amiga has the shit SNES beaten with 3D games, despite that the Amiga doesn't need any expansion chips and the SNES does.

>>7439007
>literal 5 FPS in a homebrew game made in 2020 that looks like utter garbage

THE POWER OF THE AMIGA

>>7439012
5 FPS in a Doom clone on stock hardware is still better than the shit SNES 5 FPS in Doom with an expensive cheating expansion chip. Nice try though.

>>7439015
>boasting about a 5 (five) FPS Doomclone in 2021
Why are Amigafags like this?

>>7438276

>>7439007
>despite that the Amiga doesn't need any expansion chips and the SNES does.
Every euro Amiga game was written for the low-end 1987 A500 model with 500KB ram because Yuros could only afford to buy the cheapest one and never upgrade.
That's something to keep in mind if you're ever running an Amiga emulator for some reason. Normally it makes sense pick the most powerful hardware configuration, but in the Amiga's case it breaks a lot of the shitware that was coded specifically for the A500.
