Genesis don't do shit better. Unfortunately, Sega censored Genesis games just as well. Look at Streets of Rage / Bare Knuckle.

I don't think censorship was limited to first-party titles.

The Nintendo censorship was also limited to NoA/NoE, Japan didn't give a shit.

I was playing some Famicom RPG yesterday and they showed a guy with a bullet hole on his head with blood dripping off it, not to mention they never had any problem with lewd stuff at all either.

Problem with censorship was always on the west (of course, unless we count PCs which always had naturally more gore and porn due to doujin)

Two wrongs make a right? The point is that censorship shouldn't exist. If Sega wanted to gloat about having better quality standards, then they shouldn't have sunk to Nintendo's level and enforced any type of censorship in the first place.

The thing is that Sega never actually said "we don't censor our games", I don't think... they just implied that their console was more "mature", is all.
Nintendo also had games with more "mature" themes, same as Sega had "kiddy" stuff like Sonic, Fantasy Zone or Wonder Boy.

Marketing (especially western marketing) is one of the biggest reasons to blame as to why we have such stupid fanboys today (not just talking about Sega though, Nintendo also had their share of bullshit, although Sega was decidely more aggressive about it).

Just thinking about what the Sega marketing team of the 90s could have done if the internet and social media was like it is today gives me shivers.

I grew up as a huge Nintendofag and didn't have a non-Nintendo console up until the Dreamcast because of advertising like this.

I would actually get offended that they would shit talk against Nintendo. Like when the PS1 Crash Bandicoot commercial came out and the guy had a megaphone outside of Nintendo's headquarters and was talking trash about them, that really pissed me off for some reason.

I want to point out that the Game Boy alone sold more units that all of Sega's consoled sold during it's entire run on the console gaming business.
And then Sega ended up working for Nintendo.

You would know this if you could stop living 20 years in the past.

Maybe, but that doesn't denies that one of the bitter rivals ended up losing everything and had to work for it's rival.

Sonic popping out on the GBA and then those Mario and Sonic sport games were the source of so much delicious tears from radical Sega fans who chose to live of nothing but glorified memories and flaming Nintndo out of butthurt.

A MUCHO CATETO.

I own both a Genesis and a SNES, and both systems are great for their own reasons. IMO, Nintendo had a better variety of games than the Genesis throughout its lifetime. I always get annoyed when people argue with "WELL GENESIS SOLD MORE THAN THE SNES YOU FAGGOT!" because, although that is technically true, it was a little over 50 percent. That's hardly anything to be proud of, since it basically means that both consoles were more or less equal in sales.

This. I ever had both of them too Genesis is my favourite, and they are both fucking awesome consoles for different reasons. Also, I've been thinking about all the Genesis advertisements about its sports games, but the japanese selection for SFC is pretty good, and for soccer they have lots of better titles than Gen (except by J-League Pro Stryker Final Stage).

>That kind of stereotype can cause offence to fags out there thinking it's meant as a stereotypical representation of their sexuality.
It is a stereotypical representation of their sexuality. You just called Ash a walking stereotype in your previous post. He is what he is and Sega made the right call cutting him. Everybody who gets offended isn't necessarily a SJW unlike the actual ones who take to the internet and create storms, but according to your use of the word you probably think everyone who gets offended is one. That's kinda wrong considering that being a game developer you take risks with whatever you put in it. As for those people that think Dragon's Crown artwork is in bad taste and sexist, they can go fuck themselves. Game isn't for them and they hate stylized stuff that isn't based on their formulaic basic view on everything.

Eh, you sound like an immature dude with a poor grasp of the English language and you don't really understand other people too much. You also don't want to either. Work on that.

Funny you mention that. Nintendo's best days in the console market had them controlling almost 80% percent, and that was thanks to a monopoly. Meanwhile, Sony didn't do anything of the sort and controlled almost just as much with the PS2, 73% in fact. When Sony first entered the market, they took up almost 71% of the market. I'm not sure if that means that Sony is really good at marketing (which seems to be the case), or if Nintendo can barely do anything if competition actually exists.
