so which one is better /vr/

the SNES or the GENESIS?

or the gamecom?

>> No.1532660

They're both good. As someone who grew up with the SNES I prefer that a bit more, but that's mostly the nostalgia. The Genesis has a lot of great games on it. There isn't much point arguing "which is better" when it's a matter of opinion, and really, you should be playing both of them anyways.

>> No.1532678

I prefer the Genesis. I love the feeling and atmosphere of genesis games, and I liked how smooth and quick the action was. I've always felt like SNES games were slower to start. SNES games have always felt somehow void of something special that the Genesis had imo

Genesis games often had weaker storylines and there were little to no RPGs, but I still prefer the Genesis

>> No.1532682

Basically depends on your genres, but Genesis is much easier to collect for right now. Conversely, already having a large pre-existing SNES collection is better.

Not even a weeb, but I agree. The few games I have played so far for the console blow away the competition with pure, five player multiplayer bliss. The Bonk series is fun as hell, my favorite Bomberman release was on this console, and Dungeon Explorer is like the big brother to Gauntlet, Neutopia > Zelda, et cetera. The game developers may have taken many ideas from other companies on competing consoles, but they didn't door a poor job either. And fucking FIVE PLAYER MULTIPLAYER. Bomberman 94 is still fun as hell, and you never hear complaints from friends after you challenge them to some competitive BOMB.

SNES is objectively a bit better, because it has a larger library, a bit more variety, better graphics(only because of those special chips, without them its not better), and at the time sound that in some games didn't sound like video game music, but more like real instruments.

That said, i prefer badass action games on SMD, and those are my favorite genres. Stuff like Contra Hard Corps, Gunstar Heroes, Alien Solider, Battle Mania 2, MUSHA, Thunder Force 4(this one at times slows down like a snes game lol, but it its still awesome)... its great stuff.

Also, over time Mega Drive music grew on me. I don't know, It has more character then the SNES, and i enjoy those gritty sounding SMD chiptunes. When composers knew what they were doing Mega Drive could produce very nice tunes.

Funnily enough, it doesn't have lag if you overclock the Megadrive's CPU to 13mhz. A lot of games were programmed on a faster processor in C and then when converted and dumped to 68K assembler they scaled down the speed so that it could run on regular units.

Yes. Because if you want to compare systems you need to have some parameters. I prefer Mega Drive for genres i mentioned above, but SNES has a bigger, more varied library. That is a fact, and one of the most important aspects when judging the quality of a system.

Genesis is more hardcore, SNES is more casual. This isn't meant in a derogative way. I have a fairly unstressful life so I prefer more stressful games. People with more IRL stress can be fully justified in preferring the "comfy" games the SNES specializes in.

Megadrive objectively had better hardware. Every game on the Super Nintendo was a laggy piece of shit.

Almost SNES game has bad music. Even if the composition is good the sample quality is intolerable. This isn't strictly a hardware problem, because the SPC700 is capable of acceptable sound quality, but developers were too cheap to dedicate the cartridge space for higher quality samples. There are very few exceptions (I can only think of Plok! and Kirby's Dreamland 3). Most Genesis games have bad music, but a substantial number have great music. Genesis is like the NES in that way.

SNES has lower resolution, and the hardware effects (transparency, mode 7) only encouraged developers to use them inappropriately. Sonic 3&K and Dynamite Headdy look better than any SNES game. The best looking SNES game (Seiken Densetsu 3) doesn't have the variety of these.

That is a matter of opinion and not objective in this day and age of full CD audio I will still take glorious synthesizer before some shitty arrangement real instruments suck dick. Objectively the megadrive can handle higher quality samples than the SNES.

Its really easy to disregard the significance of this port now. Younger people that got to experience these systems through emulation don't understand that PCs were very expensive back then, and the snes version was the only way to play this game for a lot of us.
Anyway Snes version of Doom is far, far more "acceptable" FPS then Zero Tolerance. Case closed.

Depends on what kind of games you prefer. If you like action/arcade more, get a Mega Drive, if you dig platformers and RPGs, grab a SNES. Fortunately, I enjoy almost every genre so there is no real winner for me. Both awesome consoles.
