I have been wondering that too. You might like some of the Ganbare Goeman games. I think that is the series with the fun side scrolling action on the SNES, but I could be wrong. It was only released in Japan, but there might be some English patches, and fuck is it fun. Two player loving it really is. Recommending Ganbare Goeman 2, but they are all good (there are 4 of them on the SNES alone).

If you liked the two player aspect, you also might like Bonk on the PC-Engine. There is a hefty amount of those too on the system. Really fun side scroller.

Also check out Monster World 4 on the Genesis, and then the others if you like that. Sounds right up your ally.

Man I still remember the first time I saw the Genesis. My mother and I left our old house to move to Texas, and we ended up living in a cul-de-sac. Some kid set up his television and Genesis in his open garage, and as curiosity follows, I sat down right next to him and he just plucked in NBA JAM with a second controller and we played so fucking much. I was blown away, it looked fantastic and it is still the only sports game I can even pick up, besides the Nintendo 64 sequel. I was always Miami Heat because the flaming basketball was cool as fuck. Then we played some shooter with Terminator and had a fucking blast. Such a weird way to make a friend, don't know what happened to him.

Not the cpu. 68000 all the way baby.

The sprite handling is arguably better as well. It's more flexible, but can't do as many sprites. The cpu generally prevents the SNES from using those extra sprites for much though.

Same with the sound. Obviously more advanced, but has drawbacks that FM doesn't have.

[Anonymous No.1660539]

No. The Genesis processor was afaik twice as fast as the SNES processor. And it shows.

Normal people consider it superior.
Autists who thought being cool was as simple as getting a Genesis think otherwise.
They are in a way victims of Sega's 90s marketing.


I love Sega, Virtua Fighter is the best fighting games franchise, Sega made the best F Zero, their arcade racers are great, I even love Super Monkey Ball, but even without the SNES RPGs, any top 100 games of all times will have far more SNES games than Genesis games.

Now without shitposting

End of 1991

We know SNES sold 3.4 million units and Sega had 55% of the market, Nintendo 45%
That means

Sega 4.155.555
Nintendo 3.400.000

End of 1992

best SNES year, Nintendo sold 5.6 million SNES units, and outsold Genesis by 10%
that means

Sega: 5.040.000
Nintendo: 5.600.000

End of 1993, both consoles sold less than in 1992, Nintendo 32% less and Sega 24% less
that means

Sega: 3.830.400
Nintendo: 3.808.000

We know that at that time Sega had sold 13.025.955 units in the USA and Nintendo had sold around 12.808.000. So, in December 31 of 1993 Sega was still outselling Nintendo in the USA.

For what happened from 1994 on we have NPD data, which wasn't as precise back then as it is nowadays, but it is still the best thing we have.

NPD Data
GEN vs. SNES:
'94 - 3.62m 3.24m
'95 - 1.89m 2.32m
'96 - 0.85m 1.25m
'97 - 0.33m 0.83m < SNES2 rel.
'98 - 0.57m 0.88m < GEN Core 3 rel.
'99 - 0.32m 0.29m
'00 - 0.04m 0.01m
TOT: 7.62m 8.82m (after 1993)

This means Sega sold 20.645.955 Genesis units and Nintendo sold 21.628.000 SNES units in the USA.

Numbers before NPD are from Steven Kent's History of videogames.

Nintendo claims to have sold 22 million units in the USA, so these numbers seem pretty close to what really happened imo. It was close to a tie, but Sega fucked up with the Add ons, and Nintendo came back with their 1994-1996 games.

The Sega CD wasn't that bad. It was really more of a respond to the TurboGrafx-CD (which took off in Japan) than the SNES. The 32X wasn't unnecessary, even though it did end up with a few good arcade ports (including the definite home version of the original Virtua Fighter).

>thinking some faggots book is reliable
Sega was able to outsell Nintendo four Christmas seasons in a row[39] due to the Genesis' head start, a lower price point, and a larger library of games when compared to the SNES at its release.[40] Sega had ten games for every game on Super NES, and while the Super NES had an exclusive version of Final Fight, one of Sega's internal development teams created Streets of Rage, which had bigger levels, tougher enemies, and a well-regarded soundtrack.[40] Sega's advertising continued to position the Genesis as the cooler console,[40] and as Sega's advertising evolved, they coined the term "blast processing" (the origin of which is an obscure programming trick on the console's graphics hardware) to suggest that the processing capabilities of the Genesis were far greater than those of the SNES.[41][42] A Sony focus group found that teenage boys would not admit to owning a Super NES rather than a Genesis.[43] Even with the Genesis often outselling the Super NES at a ratio of 2:1,[44] Nintendo and Sega both focused heavily on impression management of the market, even going to the point of deception, with Nintendo claiming they had sold more consoles in 1991 than they actually had, and forecasting they would sell 6 million consoles by the end of 1992, while their actual U.S. install base at the end of 1992 was only just over 4 million units.[45] Due to these tactics, it was difficult to ascertain a clear leader in market share for several years at a time, with Nintendo's dollar share of the U.S. 16-bit market dipping down from 60% at the end of 1992 to 37% at the end of 1993,[46] Sega claiming 55% of all 16-bit hardware sales during 1994,[47] and Donkey Kong Country paving the way for the Super NES to outsell the Genesis from 1995 through 1997. According to a 2004 study of NPD sales data, the Sega Genesis was able to maintain its lead over the Super NES in the American 16-bit console market.
