Pic related, I picked up a two model 1 Genesis with the "High Definition graphics" label (as well as the version that doesn't have the initial boot screen pre launching a game) for about 20 bucks, spent 7 bucks extra on a/v cables and sonic together just to actually use it.

It's mainly for collection purposes, but I honestly, HONESTLY feel like I'll only ever get 5 games on this system. Everything else looks like shit, and the SNES will always take a shit on Genesis.

I've been a nintendo gamer my whole life, and I have a huge SNES library that I can pick up and play anytime I want because I love those games.

It baffles me that people would even say "Fuck SNES, Genesis is superior11!!11!"

It's really ridiculous, that anyone would say that but it led me to believe that neither console has great games, it's all just nostalgia factor. Am I right? Although through reading I've found that the SNES at least has more JRPGs which is a big thing for me, but still.

What games does the geneshit have? I was most intrigued by the setup of a Sega-CD under the genesis, with a 32x on top. I absolutely love the structure of this machine but I don't know what the fuck games there are to play on this thing. I'd like to morph my genesis into that tank structure but I can't find enough games to give a shit, or warrant the purchase of such expensive add-ons. Unfortunately the only version of Snatcher that's english is on Sega-CD but it's 300 bucks.

Even better. I didnt have a RGB tv/cabling so I went with s-video.

>stereo output
you can do it two ways. the convoluted way of running a cord out the headphone jack to your stereo. or modding it for red/white jacks in the rear to make it a cleaner appearance.
headphone jack works fine as a quick free method for stereo sound. just make sure the vol slider is at 10 (ie -0db) then adjust your tv/stereo accordingly

I'm in the same boat OP. I love the design of the Genesis and its related hardware, but there are very few games I have interest in. In my opinion a lot of them just look ugly. The few games I would get are:

M.U.S.H.A.
Contra Hard Corps
Castlevania: Bloodlines
Truxton

Unfortunately they're pretty expensive, thus why I don't own a Genesis.

I guess they meant calling their console division a failuire and ending up looking as their IPs were used on the rival's consoles?

A lot of the best games on Genesis are dirt cheap, because as you intuited, no one gives a shit about the Genesis. I don't know if two consoles will double the fun, but it might.

I think the Shinobi games and Contra Hard Corps are the must-play action games.

There isn't a *huge* selection of scrolling shooters that are worth your time, but of them I think Bio Hazard Battle and Forgotten Worlds are the best for your money. Biohazard Battle really shows off some great graphical effects and has a sick-n-dirty soundtrack. Forgotten Worlds is classic capcom fun.

But you say you like RPGs, well, Phantasy Star IV is the best hands-down, and Landstalker and Beyond Oasis are excellent Zelda-esque RPGs. All three are cheap (well PS4 is $30 but that's because everyone knows it's awesome).

Decap Attack is a goofy platformer that looks like shit, but it's actually really good. No joke.

A respectable and comprehensive Genesis collection doesn't need much more than ~18 games, imo.

Well then I'm saying it right now.
Fuck SNES, Genesis is superior11!!11!

bBut seriously, there are so many reasons why the genesis is no where near as bad as people in this thread are claiming. Personally I prefer genesis sound/graphics over the snes, but thats subjective.

After Burner, Alien Soldier, Alisisa Dragoon, Arcus Odyssey, Atomic Runner, Battle Mania, Battletech, both the Battletoads games, beyond oasis, Burning Force, Chiki CHiki boys, chuck rock, comix zone, contra, crusader of centy, cyborg justice, earthworm jim, dragons fury, ecco, el viento, e-swat, exile, final zone, granada, gunstar hero's, king of fighters, land stalker, light crusader, mega bomberman, megaman willy wars, mystical fighter, mercs, new zealand story, outrun, phantasy star series, phelios, rastan saga,

And thats just a handful of the ones off the top of my head.
Add on to that the sega CD, and you've got a far better console than the snes. Yeah its got a lot of FMV games, but really there's nothing wrong with that. Just because its FMV doesn't mean its instantly bad. And the lack of copy protection means that even if it does suck, you're not out anything.

SEGA dropped the price on the Genesis after the SNES launched. As a result, there may or may not have been more kids with a Genesis that their parents acquired at a low price.

Wow you guys still hold on to 20+ year old console wars? Kinda pathetic. Regardless, Genesis had much better action beat'em ups and spaceship shooters. SNES had better platformers and RPGs. Having both and loving both is heaven. OP do yourself a favor and unfuck your mindset and get MUSHA, Gunstar Heroes, Comix Zone, Rocket Knight, Truxton, Castlevania Bloodlines, and Shinobi.

Does it also have a High Definition Graphics label on the top? I've read that the FJ8USASEGA is inferior because it has some console splash screen before a game launches, rather than a straight boot to the game with the FJ846EUSASEGA.

I never experienced the PC Engine until late last year, and have a blast playing through its library. However just like OP I've yet to have any fun with the Genesis, despite trying out so many of the games you guys recommend.

Maui Mallard seems be better on Sega's console than the SNES, and has better music quality. That's honestly the only positive thing I have to say about the console.

If you're a fanboy you won't like any "rival" game even if it was the exact fucking game with the exact same graphics, sound and controls as the SNES version, or if it was more close to the original arcade game (like Samurai Spirits, for example). You shouldn't even try if you already craved in your mind that Genesis sucks.

So I found out they had Gunstar Heroes on the PSN, so when I went over to my friend's house (who owned an SNES growing up), I got him to download and play it after a COD Ghosts session. Since the hardware performance debate comes up here some way or another like every other day, I got a kick out of him saying "It's too chaotic."

I think OP is trying way to hard to bury the Genesis and put over the SNES but is still asking some Genesis related questions. I hate to sound like a re-seller boogeyman conspiracy theorist but OP is probably an e-bay re-seller with like 15 copies each of Earthbound and A Link To The Past who wants to unload them for top dollar while at the same time invest in the most highly revered Genesis games right now at a cheap price to sell at a 45%+ gross somewhere down the line.

I'm not a fanboy, at least that's what I'd like to believe. I'm from Norway, and during the SNES days wasn't even aware of the Mega Drive's existence. No stores around here stocked it, none of my friends had one, and the only video game magazine sold in regular stores was all about Nintendo with brief sections on arcade and pinball machines. I had no possible reason to develop any negative feelings towards the console as a rival to the one I owned when I didn't even know it was in the race.

It was only after getting on the web years later that I found out about Sega also being in the console manufacturing business, and it made me extremely excited. In my imagination, it was like I had another SNES with a thick library out there waiting for me to play and have fun. I compiled lists of highly recommended pearls, anticipation ever growing as I went along.

Then when I finally got the chance to try out the Mega Drive, I was devastated. My dreams crushed. All hope gone. The graphics generally looked less sophisticated, audio quality was terrible, and the gameplay of most exclusives reminded me of the shovelware SNES cartridges I'd found at the bottom of friends' game boxes.

This how I ended up as I am today. I still keep trying new games on the system, in case one will make me turn around, but so far it's been a futile effort. I don't have this problem with any other console, regardless of the company behind them, so I'm not sure what my problem is. I only wanted to have fun.

PS. The game you posted does indeed look a lot better on the Genesis side, but it doesn't look like a game I'd enjoy on either consider.

The SNES hardware was much more expensive and is 2 years newer than the Genesis. What were you expecting? Additionally, it was a hell of a lot easier to write code for, sharing a CPU architecture with a dozen different arcade boards and a dozen more home computers. Everybody and their dog could write 68k code. So they did, so there's a shit-ton of shovelware. Sega also didn't have any cryptographic security - once Accolade shot them down in court, unlicensed developers and development kits were everywhere.

Sounds like you have an extreme case of nostalgia goggles for the SNES.

The only thing true in that entire post is that Genesis games often have less sophisticated graphics. This is because a large number of Genesis classics came out before the SNES even existed.

Arcade ports don't matter unless they improved on the original in some way, eg. Chelnov is better on the Genesis. Midnight Resistance is better too (mostly because of the music), but Midnight Resistance sucks even on arcade because of the framerate.

I had no idea the SNES was more expensive, neither that it came out two years later. Information wasn't as easily accessible in those days as it is now. Thanks for the refresher. Your point about the Genesis being easier to code for may very well be a part of the quality problem, but it's not like the SNES was lacking in garbage either.

I do have nostalgia for the SNES, yeah, but why didn't that prohibit me from thoroughly enjoying what I've since been playing on the PC Engine?

>>1446114
>>graphics generally looked less sophisticated
>Higher resolution than SNES
Higher resolution does not necessarily mean sophisticated, though. I really don't like how they were completely reliant on dithering for transparency and color blending, because that only worked with the shittiest TVs and cables.

>>audio quality was terrible
>High quality FM instead of low quality samples
Utilized well by how many games? For releases that didn't have a lot of time and love put into tweaking the synth, you'd have lower quality audio at best and a fart app at worst.

It works even with sharp pixels because you interpret the dithering with your own brain. Anybody who grew up with mode 13h DOS games will have no problem doing this. PC-98 games do the same thing and nobody complains about it there.

No, no, no. I'm being too sarcastic. I tell you what, 10 year old you and me can have a slumber party. I say we play some good ol's mortal kombat. Let's jsut walz ourselves down to the arcade at 10 o' clock at night. Our moms would't have any sort of issue with us going downtown, alone. At night.

Now, how much did your mom give you for allowance? 2 bucks? That's a couple games. Bus fare, 50 cents. That leaves us with about 4 games unless we want to walk back. Oh wait, the arcade is closed. Oh wait, we're being mugged and raped in an alley.

I find more weird manchildren like SNES and more normal video game players prefer Genesis. Not even biased but that's what I've seen in my time at working at a video game shop. People who call/buy/ask questions about SNES games are more than likely just kind-of... "that guy". People who buy Genesis are more likely to be older and remind me a lot of Mark from the CGR usually. I have no idea why this is the case. Many other systems have stereotypical fanbases but after serving SNES fans for three years I understand why the games are so expensive and the fans can be so hyperventilating about the console.

I prefer the SNES but then again I am kinda that guy.

for me its more like

>SNES: random people who just want to buy some old video games, usually in their late 30's, early 40's

>ps1: mexicans
>ps2: trailer trash and mexicans
>xbox: early 20's, wide spectrum of people

>360: kids (I wish I was joking)
>ps3: niggah's and weaboos, and niggah weaboo's.
>ps4/xbone: thieves and crackheads (literally, not one person has brought one in yet that wasn't stolen)

Dreamcast, Saturn, 5200/7800, WiiU, PSP, gamegear, and gamecube don't sell very much, nor come in often. 3DO, CDi, TG-16, and NeoGeo don't come in at all, as in there hasn't been a game in the store for one of those systems in several years.
Nintendo handheld stuff comes in a fair amount, but never sells, except for DS and 3DS, the former exchanges hands slightly more than GB/C/A (which isn't a lot).
3DS stuff however sells within a few days.

Anyways, the people who buy SNES's are usually 35-45 years old, only just getting into video games (or video games from before the 6th/7th gen), know fuck all about the system, only want it because "it's Nintendo", and sell it back to us (or on Craigslist) about a month later. Also, even when it's not the type of person I just described, they can never tell the difference between NES, SNES, and N64 games.
The Genesis crowd is about 25 years old on average (college student age), knows at least a little about the system itself, own games for other /vr/ consoles or had them growing up. Not /vr/ material though, or at least they dont show it.

Lastly, I've never seen anyone under 15 show interest in genesis. But I always see kids carrying off with snes carts, only to put them down in a different section. The number of times I've had to clean them from the NES and 360 area is insane.

It's like that with a lot of Nintendo fanboys of different eras. It's especially bad with hard core n64 fanboys.

Those are 3 great games you listed, and it kind of seems like they're the ones that are always brought up as crown jewels of the SNES, but they aren't really comparable to anything on the Genesis. That's not because the genesis doesn't have games that are as good as the ones you listed, far from it. Genesis platformers tend to be faster and. SMW Is a slow paced platformer with the same 3(?) powerups the entire way through. Not that it's bad, I might feel that it gets a bit stale, but those 3 powerups work for it, and it's a very fun platformer. But in the same way the Genesis doesn't have a comparable game, the SNES doesn't have anything I can think of similar to Sonic 2, a much grittier and less "clean" sort of platformer, but it's a game reliant on speed and momentum control instead of collecting powerups, a gameplay mechanic you have to admit is pretty cool. The games are each console's flagship platformer franchise, and though very different, they're both great.
LttP is not my favorite, but is a fairly solid Zelda title, and the closest thing to it on the Genesis would probably be Beyond Oasis, which is a great game in it's own right, but with a very different feel and setting then LttP, and with stronger RPG elements. They're comparable, but only as far as being dungeon exploring action RPGs.
Super Metroid... I can't think of anything comparable at all, but at the same time what does the SNES have that would compare to something like Comix Zone, imo one of the best stylized games ever, or Toejam & Earl, the grandfather of procedural level generation? They're very different systems with different strengths and weaknesses, (JRPGs on the Genesis, slowdown on the SNES, etc etc etc) and if you're only playing one of them and depriving yourself of the other based on a 20-year-old console war, or your own preconceived notions of one system's superiority, then you're just depriving yourself of a lot of great games.

OP here, and I'd have to respectfully disagree. I've gathered quite a lot of amazing data in this thread. I've compiled a software list from a lot of the responses and I'm impressed. I've already begun to create my genesis collection. Stop shitposting and leave this thread faggot.

The problem with arcade games, for me, is that they lack a certain depth. This has to be done; arcade games are generally made to be more 'pick up and play' games by nature. This is why they don't tend to be lengthy, relying more on multiplayer and short-term re-playability. They also, outside fighters (which are fundamentally as complex as the commands are) rather simplistic in design.

But lemme guess, "BUT YOU CAN'T GO FAST IN SNES GAMES! AND GOING FAST IS WHAT GAMES ARE ALL ABOUT CAUSE IT SHOWS TRUE SKILL AND MAKES YOU EXTREEEEEEEEEEEEEME!!!"

I dunno, I guess I was just the kind who would prefer more to take my time and have stuff to explore while moving more precisely. But I guess this concept is wasted on you cause it's not necessarily 'fast'.

Different types of games appeal to different people.

Those who like to have their reflexes and abilities tested go for more arcade style games, while those who are more into exploration and storylines have RPGs and such.

There's nothing wrong with liking either. Don't be little kids who think that one is "better" than the other just because it's different.

>>	Anonymous Sat Mar 8 00:23:55 2014 No.1453768 >>1453441 There isn't, you're right. I just notice that the Sega fanbase is always quick to denounce SNES games as bad cause they aren't as fast paced.

I'd say you first have to define "depth." Saying a blanket statement like "arcade games lack depth" is pretty meaningless.

Part of the appeal of arcade games are skill- and reflex-based gaming, meaning you are often pushed to get very good in a very short amount of time. Something like the Shinobi games do this very well, whereas in a game like Super Mario World this is less an issue because you can save the game and fly over most of the level. Yes, Star Road is tough, but that's after the rest of the game.

It's easier to go back to a game that demands more of you from the start, as opposed to wading through a large chunk of easy beginner's stuff. That's why anyone can jump into the first Zelda on the NES and get cracking, whereas people hesitate whether or not to start up Skyward Sword, because that game takes two hours to get its feet off the ground, figuratively and literally.

"Speed" in this case is an irrelevant misnomer to what is actually the appeal of the good Genesis games. I actually like that most of them are 'beat in one sitting' type games. That's different, and different is good. It forces me to stop being lazy and learn a good game, or quickly realize when a game is just shit.

>It's mainly for collection purposes

Man fuck your kind. If you don't actually give a shit about the console then don't buy it just so you can hoard it. If you only wanna play like five games get it on an emulator and leave the console out for people who actually want to own one and play games on it.

Sigh, this again? Claiming I'm a hoarder? I'm really getting tired of these shitposts.

My 2 genesis consoles just arrived recently, labeled as untested. I don't have any A/V cables to test it yet but I managed to at least power it on and use the headphone port to clarify it'll boot. One of them works (With sonic 2 in it), the other doesn't really boot. Still not definitive enough for me as I'd rather see video first to truly confirm that it's broken (or either of them).

Here's the thing though, I bought them knowing they were untested, and was planning to give one of them to a friend as a reward for fixing the other one (if both of them were broken). If both of them are working, I'm going to give the second one to another friend as a birthday present (Because I know he's a genesis whore). I'm believing it's the scenario where one of them might be broken, while the other works, and if that's the case then I really don't have a use for the broken one, so I'll throw it at my repair friend for free... or I'll ask my repair friend to repair that one and give him the currently working one (I'm sad to say the broken one is the one I really wanted to work).

So now I ask you, how am I a hoarder if I collect? It's not like I collect multiple copies of the same game or console, I've never done that. This is an exception. How could I pass up 2 cheap untested consoles? Think before you fucking post, such wild accusations make you look stupid.

If you read the OP you'd understand that I'm trying to embrace this console for the first time. Even if I end up only liking 5 games because of how potentially stale and shitty the genesis library may be (what I previously though, until I leered at all the suggestions in this thread), it's not like I'd sell it. No way am I selling this shit ever, and I'm never going to sell my retro consoles/games either.

Have you ever tried playing the SNES version of Knights of the Round in co-op? Shit turns into a fucking slideshow at times, and that's on Normal.

Why would it be? I think the gameplay is tight, and everything just feels so right, but the game is so fucking easy that I never feel like even touching a Kirby game post-initial boot. How do people find Kirby games to be so good? Do they just suck at challenging games, is it the memorable character, the powerups, what? It is so fucking boring.
