There's good games on both, but honestly, SNES has more variety and also the very best games. Genesis did offer a more arcadey experience (including ports), which was neat at the time, though you're better off with a Saturn if that's what you're looking for. Meanwhile, some of the very best, and most influential, games of all time are on the SNES.

Mega Drive had Shining Force and the fighting games were just as good as on SNES. It even had a really good Samurai Shodown port.

SNES has the RPG crown, I give it that, but other than this, I personally like Mega Drive games more.
Like someone already said, SNES is just too casual for me, even though it even gave birth to cult games like R-Type III or Contra III.

Complete bullshit. It merely was more popular, because it was for casuals, but apart from RPGs, it didn't have better games at all.

I can only say that though because of RPGs and Megaman really but also I don't think any Nintendo console since has had such a great balance of releases from its franchises - I don't even think a handheld has had a major Earthbound, Metroid, F-Zero, Star Fox and Fire Emblem title...

Why do you people insist on fighting shitty console wars that have been over for 2 decades?

Being a console warrior is loserish enough on its own--it's even worse to be a console warrior for a system that's not even sold anymore. Especially considering you people are all (I'm assuming here) adults now with disposable income and all the games you could want via emulation.

Now, if that's what you want from your video games, that's fine, but trying to put your preferences above everyone else's? Pretending that there's only one reason people should play games? Naw, bruh, naw.

Well that's a personal preference.

It's also working under the faulty idea that all RPGs are about story and characters. In fact, for a number of RPGs (especially older RPGs, given we're on /vr/), story is just there to give you an excuse to go inside dungeons to kill things.

But yeah, the important thing to take from this is that it's preferences and yours lie elsewhere from other people. And that's fine. But you are not correct by any definition. It's opinions. That's all it is and you really can't argue that.

I like those but the super nintendo doesn't have any awesome dungeon crawlers, EoTB? Yeah so? That was on sega cd with a yuzo soundtrack! and it had shining in the darkness. I love RPGs with good mechanics like SaGa 2 is one of my favorite games ever, the ones people always mention FF3,CT, EB aren't that engrossing gameplay wise. I just seem to think most people over value them though just because they are longer a 15 minute blastfest like midnight resistance is worthy of being equally as awesome as a long rpg. I love them both but I'll post why I think mega drive is best in a sec.

Ignoring the library, Genesis is a complete turn off for me to collect. There's like three different versions of the system and each one has something wrong with it that may or may not require extensive hardware modifying. Some systems have start up screens while others don't, some have muddled audio, one model isn't even compatible with the millions of aborted add-ons for Genesis.

It's probably the most ratchet system ever, I've never bothered picking up a Genesis model for that reason.

The model I suggested has no boot-up screen. This is a good thing because the boot-up screen is a piracy/region checker (but it makes little difference in practice).

This myth needs to die. The Sega CD was good, and had plenty of good games (yes, and it did have a lot of shitty FMV games too). The 32X was legitimately dire, but it wasn't totally without a couple of good games.

Didn't have a SNES growing up, I spent much of my childhood on the genesis but even so I have to say the SNES. Literally every game had the potential to be really really fun. I've played some shit genesis games before but I always found a way to have fun on the SNES

Anonymous Wed Apr 16 14:40:50 2014 No.1549181

Technically, I'll always prefer the SNES. Better graphics and sound, and it's best games trump the Genesis' best games easily. Sure, Genesis had Phantasy Star 4, but SNES had Final Fantasy 6 AND Chrono Trigger AND Earthbound, etc, etc, etc.

All that said, the Genesis itself has a very special appeal, especially if you're a big retrohead/otaku/"hardcore gamer"/general freak/whatever. I mean- I'm not a young dude. I've had the time to play most of the great games by Nintendo, Capcom, Konami, et al. For deep digging, I feel that the Genesis has the greatest wealth of obscure B and C grade games by minor publishers, aside from the NES (of course).

Also, the system has plenty of obscure weeaboo content (IE: shmups; armored bikinis). The retro fanbase for the Genesis also seems to overlap with the sorts of people who might dig ARTMIC/AIC OVAs...

>and it's best games trump the Genesis' best games easily

I'm gonna have to disagree with that.

The best game on the Genesis, in my opinion, is Streets of Rage 2. I think it's better than any beat 'em up on the SNES and it ranks up there with some of the best games ever made.

The best beat 'em up on SNES would probably be Ninja Warriors Again, but that's just a different kinda game. One plane of movement, no multiplayer...so it likes the variety you'd see in SoR2 but gets by with a well-crafted single player experience. Even then, the depth in SoR2 is incredible and is difficult to match.

Genesis tends to do action games, shooters, and arcade games much better than the SNES thanks to its faster processor. Gunstar Heroes and Thunder Force IV, man.

>Better graphics and sound,

SNES graphics are indeed more advanced, but the Megadrive can move more graphics faster.

Better sound is completely subjective. It depends on whether you like muddy low-samplerate pcm synth tunes, or FM tunes that used had criminally awful default patches on most games.

>and it's best games trump the Genesis' best games easily.

The SNES has some absolute wonders, I give it that, but the Megadrive feels like having less shovelware crap, and higher quality arcade-type games. SNES had more RPGs.

I had both as a kid and never really considered one better than the other. Both had good games with great graphics and great music. Hating one over the other is really stupid - they shared the 16bit crown equally.

(if you want a 16bit machine that really sucked, look at the Lynx or the PC Engine)

I'm just using RPGs as an example (they're not my cup of tea either). But other than like- shmups and sports games, what ENTIRE GENRE does Genesis really have over SNES?

>>1549219
Fair point that SoR2 is better than any beat em up on the SNES. SoR2 is probably the best console 3/4 beat em up of its entire generation in terms of balance and gameplay, even trumping Final Fight 3.

While I agree that Ninja Warriors Again is great (one of my favorites- I love Natsume), I don't think it should really be compared to 3/4 beat em ups like SoR. Like you said, it's a different kind of game. The SNES has some neat beat em ups- Final Fight 3, the Rushing Beat series, Shodai Nekketsu Kunio Kun, Gourmet Sentai Bara Yarou, etc, but yeah. SoR2. It's good. It's a shame that SoR3 wasn't good (and neither was the console Golden Axe 3, what's the deal?).

Anyway, the Genesis definitely has the upper hand in the arcade department (Sega was in the arcade business, and the system itself was sold on the strength of its arcade ports), and with shooters... but action games in general? No doubt, the Genesis has some sweet action games, but other than stuff like Rocket Knight and Gunstar Heroes (the former developed by a company who mostly developed for the SNES during this era, and the latter developed former employees of the same company), it doesn't have any titles that really stand up to the likes of Contra 3, Castlevania 4, or Megaman X.

I'm not the poster you're responding to, but I've played a chunk of the PC Engine library myself. It's definitely an interesting system, but in terms of quality, I don't know if it can stand up to the Genesis or SNES in terms of quality software. It has great, great games (the Bonks, the Zonks, Legendary Axe, Gunhed, Ninja Spirit, Parodius, Bloody Wolf, Rondo of Blood, etc), but, like the Genesis, it was released to compete with the NES, all the way back in 1987. The CD add on, released in 1988 at the peak of Japan's economic bubble, extended the system's lifespan considerably, allowing it to compete into the "true" 16-bit era (in Japan, at least) alongside the SNES and Genesis.

All that said, I feel it's difficult to delve deeply into the latter half of the PC Engine's library as a westerner. Many of the PC Engine's famous games are very Japanese intensive RPGs, and difficult to access as an English speaker. Additionally, it seems that nearly all the Japan-only quality games lacking a language barrier are shmups- the bulk of the PC Engine's library, barring what ended up coming out Stateside for the Turbografx, seems to consist mostly of mahjong and quiz games, anime tie-ins, and Portopia-style Japanese adventure games. While I enjoy a number of titles for the system, I can't help but doubt that there's too many more hidden gems waiting to be discovered.

Genesis: better control (official 6 button one), better processor for action games, better soundchip for rocking synthpop

SNES: better graphics (lower resolution almost never comes into play), more built in addon support (FX chips, bigger carts, etc), better soundchip for atmospheric tracks (ex: DKC).

Games is an opinion thing. I think Nintendo made better 1st party games than Sega, but not by a large margin. And the Genesis has more good arcade ports.

Actually, the SNES was far more powerful in ever catagory but the processer which it was slightly better then SNES. In actuality, the Genesis was quite weak, there was nearly 5000X times less colours
>better soundchip for rocking synthpop
Actually, in ever sense the SNES had a way superior soundchip, the gensis used more rock and mechanical sounds because since it had a less powerful soundchip, electric sounds like electric gutiar are easier to render.

Lets put it this way, the SNES could easily run Sonic, or any game the genesis played, but a giant library of SNES game could run on the genesis.

I hate this way of thinking it's pure opinion. how is Megaman "objectively" better than truxton. I know that name gets dropped a lot but seriously it is fucking amazing. the snes doesn't have anything that stands up to toaplan shooters in my own opinion. I like both consoles a lot I just like the megadrive better because its got the best shmups and run n gun games. hardcorps, Gunstar heroes, the good Robocop vs terminator game, midnight resistance (awesome old school contra clone with great music and cool weapons system), alien soldier, mega turrican, Ghostbusters, and top down ones like mercs, and Rambo 3. just because snes games were more well known doesn't mean they are objectively better or anything.

no the genesis didn't have a weaker sound chip the problem was you actually had to know how to program if you wanted to utilize its z80 which alone was the chip that allowed master system compatiblty. the only thing holding back either soundchip was cart space.

I seem to go back and forth regarding an opinion on KI's gameplay.

When I was a kid, I loved it.
As time went by, I thought the gameplayw as kind of stiff and not that good... but I played it recently again the other day with a friend, and I found it fun again, gameplay is definitely not like street fighter or KOF, but it has its own thing going on, pulling off combos feel really good.

I'd say it's at least decent. I mean, if we're going to say Eternal Champions was good, then KI definitely also deserves to be called a good game.

The Genesis does have a fairly weak soundchip. Compare it to similar FM on the PC-98 or in the Arcades (or FM soundcards on the PC) and the Genesis is noticeably weak in comparison.

But given that the SNES doesn't use similar technology, you can't really compare them other than to ask which sounds better. While the best on the Genesis is amazing, you must admit that the Genesis has far more games that simply rape your ears with what can only be described as "noise". The SNES on the other hand, sometimes sounds really embarrassing when its trying to rock out.

What I love about MD fans is that they're very passionate about their love for the system and its games, it's comparable to N64 fans (the ones that go beyond just Mario and Zelda). In the sense that, yeah, overal, SNES is more popular, but MD still is rocking and the die-hard fans know it, and they're very passionate and like to demonstrate their knowledge about it, while SNES fans mostly say things like "yeah it had better graphics and this, and this masterpiece of gaming", MD fans will actually provide actual information regarding hardware, or dig out obscure games that most people haven't played.

I was just joking on that one. Castlevania 4 has better graphics and sound, imo. The leve design also looks much better. However, on the Mega Drive the pacing is better and I think you have more moves. It's just faster and more agile. Both are quite good, but IV is still better, I think.

However, when it comes to Contra, Mega Drive is better. No doubt about it. The SNES version may be the original, but it just looks like a watered down Mega Drive version in the end.

SNES wins because it had more original lasting titles, while Genesis was heavily populated by forgettable clones. That said both systems had their share of must have titles and despite both systems limitations, they both were successful platforms.

Of course I am aware of this. I also never said that Contra III isnt a great game.
Just because a game is different, doesnt mean it cant be another version of another game.

>>1551272
If people compare Mega Drive to SNES here, why not compare Contra III to HC? Mega Drive also came out earlier.

Alien 3 is also totally different on the MD than on the SNES, still its totally legitimate to call them MD or SNES versions.

The Contra games differ from each other of course, but they are still the two 16 bit Contra versions, while the SNES version is the original 16 bit version. However MDs version is better.

for my tastes, I always preferred the mega drive, since I really like short, arcadey games where the goal is to beat a score etc.
that's not to say I haven't enjoyed a ton of games on the super nintendo, but I'm not really the biggest fan of JRPGs so that particular part of the library is completely impenetrable to me. never been able to get into either FF6 or chrono trigger, for example.

I think a lot of my preference is down to having a mega drive as a kid, though. so many memories of heading to swap shops and judging games solely on their (often awful) boxart.

You and I are total opposites, anon. I played jrpgs exclusively as a kid, so snes was my preferred console. Nowadays as an older anon I'm getting into all the platformers I hated as a dumb kid. I own a genesis now and love many of its games. Playing Gunstar Heroes right now. We'd get along. Who says Americans and Europeans can't be friends? Not me.

I played sports. I played MD/Genesis. I played SNES. I hung about with friends. I went out. Not everyone has to choose one activity for the entirety of their childhood and teen years. Most of us aren't so autistic as to choose to do that. Rather, most of us did some mix. htfuckingh.

Kids in my school thought playing video games was gay and dorkish, so it didn't matter if you played SNES or Genesis, you were a gay dork. Playing kick ball, basketball, going down the slide and climbing on the monkey bars was where it was at. My mom was real over protective, so I didn't get to go out and play a lot unless it was under strict supervision. Staying in and playing video games, up until I was about 12-13 was what she preferred.

>Castlevania 4 had better graphics

It blows my mind that people actually say this, to me 4 is probably the ugliest out of main Castlevaniaa games and generally sup-par for SNES. I understand they were going for a darker feel but it just makes th3 graphics terribly aged. Some good monster sprites but it just looks muddy and bad, still turns me off.

Bloodlines had a grest graphical style that holds up easily.
