Best shootemups, beatemups, action games and sports games of the generation, although Sega made sure that all the popular genres were available on their consoles. Games like Phantasy Star 4, Sonic 3 & Knuckles or Shining Force 2 are strong contenders for the title of best 16 bits game of their respective genres.

They made performant hardware that could play cutting-edge games without expensive expansion hardwares.
>SMS
Much faster CPU, better colour capabilities, did not need expansion chips in nearly every single game unlike the NES.
>Game Gear
Colour capabilities that still exceeded the Game Boy Colour from nearly a decade later.
>Mega Drive
3 times faster CPU, higher resolution than the 2 years newer and more expensive SNES.
>Saturn
Better texturing capabilities, parallel processing, and no RAM bottlenecks; many times more games at a smooth 60 FPS compared the 2 years newer N64.
>Dreamcast
Better lighting capabilities as demonstrated in Sonic Adventure among others.

A backlit screen on a handheld, in 1990. I know it sucked on the battery front because of it, but it's ridiculous how it took 13 years for Nintendo, the technology was already there and, by 1998 with the GBC, or 2001 with the OG GBA, they could've done it. I'd rather play for 3 hours on a decently lit screen of a Game Gear, then for 20 hours on a screen that's a chore to even see like GBC/GBA.

Sega was releasing games on Nintendo long before they stopped making consoles completely. So it's not really "cuckoldry", as it is maximizing their profits on more popular consoles, especially during the NES days when the SMS wasn't doing well in North America. Also they were releasing games on the PS2 & Xbox in 2001, which is exactly what a third party developer would do.

I think it's clear this board is being used as a test to transition into being the new /v/ while /v/ has become the new /b/ 2.0 with vidya since 2010 or so. /b/ lost its purpose long ago and is just another /r/ and /trash/.
IDK how this'll fair in the future if it also seeks to drive out oldfag users annoyed with the obnoxiously low quality threads/posters.

[Anonymous No.10263761]

>>10263731
To add onto the last part, it's similar to /v/, in that the board has a number of low quality "cannon fodder" threads that don't seek to have any discussion where anyone can join to shitposting/flamewar in, while the makeshift generals and niche topics are generally left alone with their own brand of autism. I feel 5th gen being the cutoff point gate kept a LOT of newfags and Zoomers because the timeframe, history and topics surrounding said gen and below are just that uninteresting enough opposed to the current gen topics unless you're a retro enthusiast.

[Anonymous No.10263891]

>>10263761
Yeah, allowing only up to 5th gen gatekept a lot of users as early 3d was janky and required you to have at least somewhat of an appreciation for games that were a product of their time, and although 8-bit/16-bit games are somewhat similar to the 2D games we see today, the vast majority of them are short experiences with a large emphasis on arcadeyness and having to manage lives/continues filters a lot of modern gamers. Its easy as hell for anybody to pick up a 6th gen game regardless of when they started gaming because early 3d jank was mostly ironed out by that point and games began to focus more on being lengthy "experiences" littered with checkpoints to be less punishing.
I guarantee you that there are a few people on this board who are only interested in 6th gen and MAYBE the occasional Nintendo platformer but nothing else. And I guess there's nothing fundamentally wrong with that, its just that before /vr/ used to be a place for people who loved retro games as a whole despite their weird quirks.

>despite their weird quirks.
That's really the crux of it all in what gatekept most out of broader discussions and the board as a whole.
From my perspective, /vr/ is the more autistic of the vidya boards by way of topics revolving more around the hardware side of retro vidya on top of having a knowledgable history on the hobby, which a sizable chunk of /v/ boards can't hack that level of interest with this particular niche and allowing 6th gen seeks to disrupt that a bit, given that it's so close to 7th gen in terms of innovation, trends and shitposting (Dude bros, graphics whoring, Mature games for Mature gamers).
Not saying there AREN'T oldfags who'd like to discuss 6th gen proper, just that that particular era attracts a lot of...well, it's in that vein of what you said about "jank" being a part of gatekeeping, but in terms of general ease of entering discussions. It's not like /vr/ never had that type of low quality with vidya IPs (Zelda, Sonic, Mario -- Nintendo and Sega), but just that it's now at such a grander scale of more low quality. Zoomers definatly don't help the matter much either.

>Gaudy color selection, having to get up to pause the game, Colecovision sound hardware unless you magically had an expanded system from Japan in the late 80s
I mean the SMS was an extension of their older SG-1000 hardware. The SG-1000 was basically a Colecovision clone that was outdone by the Famicom a year later, and Sega updated the scrolling capabilities and a few other things to make the Mark III more competitive.

>Hey let's shove a SMS in a small box with a shitty portable TV LCD and high voltage CFL ballast and give it more colors than our current home system, what can go wrong

It's not a bad idea in theory. But battery life was a killer. When the system came out, it wasn't even the most advanced handheld, as the Lynx and the Turbo Express were also available.

>>10261135
>>Mega Drive
>1988 hardware that was already starting to age badly by early 1993, don't even have to bring the expansions or SoA going full retard with manufacturing up

I mean 1988 to 1993 is a five year gulf, which is about the time span when any console becomes outdated. You could make an argument that Nintendo sat on the SNES for a bit longer than expected, because when it launched in 1991 in NA and 1992 in other parts of the globe, the 3DO was released in 1993 as well as the Jaguar. 3DO and Jaguar had their own issues, but they were both 'next gen' compared to the SNES.

The Dreamcast tried to unify Sega's arcade games with their home console versions by using NAOMI arcade board. I love this console, and its arcade games. But yeah, arcade gaming wasn't the best selling point.
