Well since you look like a Nintendo fag, play some Genesis shit, Rocket Knight, Ristar, Pulseman, Sanic all that stuff.

[Anonymous No.2496191]

>>2496186
Oh, I've played Pulseman, I didn't like Rocket Knight, and I enjoy Sonic 1 and 3. There's also some run and gun games I like that are of SEGA, but I can't remember their names.

That list is rather general, OP. I mean, it's entirely first-party titles, and only the highest-selling games from those consoles.

Are you familiar with any series outside of Mario or Pokemon?

[Anonymous No.2496202]

>>2496194
Not really, I like StarFox too, and in other consoles I like Crash Bandicoot, Rayman, Metal Gear Solid and some Sonic games. Some more recent games I like are Yakuza, Disgaea, Devil May Cry and the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon spin-offs.

>>2496210
Oh, I've played and liked Ikaruga, MSX and SF2, but the rest seem interesting, what version of the other games should I play? The most recent one or the oldest one and then the newer one?

[Anonymous No.2496274]

>>2496227

the genesis may have been the technologically superior machine but all the best games were on the SNES because it had a higher market share and the best devs flocked to it. if you're not wearing nostalgia glasses the genesis library is comparatively weak.

also the mega drive never really took off in japan

Nigga you serious?
It's no secret Genesis lost hard in the RPG department, but if we are talking about action or any other gender Genesis won.

>SOR had sprite economy and the screen was always clean yet full of action, Final Fight don't
>Columns, Puyo puyo, and other cool exclusives for puzzles.
>Gunstars and Alien Soldier for action.
>Grind Stormer, Veritex, Gaiares, Thunderforce series.
>Flashback, Bonanza bros, Herzog Zwei, Ranger X.

Multiplats were often better in the SNES but not every time, Earthworm Jim & 2 Are a good example.
Megadrive/genesis library is bigger, it's just that many of their games are pretty obscure

[Anonymous No.2496772]

Terranigma is one of the most incredible experiences you can get from a /vr/-approved game and everyone should play it.

[Anonymous No.2496785]

>>2496668
This. Only thing SNES had over sega was the RPG department, even most of multiplats were better(or atleast the ones I've played)

Some more genesis games, more obscure ones.
>Cyborg Justice
SOR except with customizable robots.
>Road Rash 1,2,3
Motorbikes, punching, chains and batons, racing.
>Micro Machines
Like Rock n Roll Racing without rock n roll.
>Outrun 2019
Good soundtrack, relaxing gameplay, pretty good overall, smooth too.
>Dinosaurs for hire
Contra but dinosaurs.
>Mutant League Hockey
NHL 94' + new violent mechanics.
Many, many others.

which is why in the UK where most SNES RPGs never saw PAL releases the Megadrive sold much better.

[Anonymous No.2496972]

Are you from Bizarro World?

[Anonymous No.2498367]

I need a turn based rpg where I make my own party. That's the only requirement, it can be as bare-bones as necessary.

I was gonna play pic related, but could only get the remake working on my phone and I hate it's aesthetic.

Baseball, pinball, basketball if you had the 4 player multi-tap, wrestling, fighters, beat 'em ups, fishing (not that anyone cares), simulation, strategy, and puzzle games were pretty solidly superior on SNES. And that's without getting into Japanese shit. And racers were superior for multiplayer. Only racing games Genesis had that were worth mentioning were Road Rash. Genesis really only beat SNES on side-scrolling action, shmups, and most sports especially golf, tennis, and football.

And it was at best tied for platformers.

Make your own party in what sense? From a status/attack perspective, there are quite a few turn-based RPGs to choose from. Any game with a job system(DQIII, FFV) is pretty good about letting you make a character, however there are other games with more in-depth management where either you can directly affect stats through an in-game system(FFVI, FFVIII), or allow you to create characters with a wide range of talents through an Elder Scrolls-esque system(FFII, Romancing SaGa).

As for creating a party in terms of character and stories, I'm not sure there are too many, most JRPGs have you manage a set cast of characters in whatever way you see fit.

Final Fantasy 1, any Wizardry (SNES versions are the best).

Please don't just list names. Recommendations are more than simple name dropping. Say what the game is, why it's recommended, maybe post a screenshot
