Many people today just automatically assume that any multiplatform game is better of Super Nintendo than it is on Sega Genesis. This is of course, not true. What games you think are better on Genesis and why? I'll start...

Flashback: The Quest For Identity because it runs more smoothly

I preferred the Genesis version of Super Street Fighter 2.

The sprites didn't look quite as good on the Genesis, and the sound was more muffled. But I felt that the six button Genesis controller was way better than the SNES controller, the Genesis version didn't have the retarded sound effects that were tacked onto certain moves (like Hadouken), and the Genesis version didn't reset the music every time someone won a round.

A lot of people look back on the Genesis and wonder why it was as popular as the SNES since the games don't seem to hold up well. Nobody ever talks about how the Genesis could "show blood" and to a bunch of shithead kids in the 90s that was an honest-to-god selling point. You wanted the "cool" console.

Should elaborate on my post before someone calls me a retard like the last time I brought this up. When you jump on a platform you have to land on it with the platform being at the space between both feet. If not you'll float right through it like in this pic.

Insults aren't called for.

Anyway, yes, I think some games do "age". Obviously not in the literal sense, but as standards change and time goes on, some games still stand the test of time, and others do not. Many games were insanely popular because they started a new genre, but because they're clunky and cryptic by today's standards, they're just not fun to play anymore when you know you could play something better.

I'd say most games that were good "back in their day" are still good today, but 8-bit adventure games and pre-mouse CRPGs are two things in particular that stand out to me as having not aged well.

I'm surprised nobody mentioned Maui Mallard. The game was an extremely solid platformer-nigh-cum-run-and-gun where you could play as a ninja and use a smorgasbord of different bullets in a DISNEY game. When it got a SNES release they completely retooled the game into a boring easy collectathon (that wasn't open world so what's the fuckin' point) with shitty music and barely any graphical changes.

Saturn only has EWJ2. And although it's technically the best version (great backgrounds, best music, etc), the SNES version is overall considered the best, the controls on the Saturn/PS1 versions are somewhat fucked as the port was not handled by the actual EWJ devs, but by another company.

tbqfh WHY fam?

why keep bickering about console wars that are long over? I understand when it's about games that are console exclusive but why would you play an inferior port nowadays?

Street Fighter II? Play the beautiful and super smooth arcade version.

I agree that doing console wars in 2015 is pretty stupid, but

>but why would you play an inferior port nowadays?

It may be for many reasons, mainly nostalgia first, and sometimes console ports were fun in their own way.

A snes version wouldn't sound as good since SNES have such shitty fake orchestra midi fonts.
The SNES ruined Super Mario All Stars for that reason.

My guess would be is that Maui Mallard was a bigger character in Europe, as the Ducks are quite popular there. So they felt more willing to release two versions, while in America they just went with what they thought would sell better.

Europe doesn't get many exclusives unlike the other regions so it's like christmas for us when that happens.

Twenty years ago and PC still kicked console ass. Amazing.

SNES version was based off of the arcade port "Thunder Spirits" which in turn was a port that came AFTER the home console version of TF3. It was two port steps removed from the original. SNES version never had a chance.

A port of a port. Amazing. Reminds me of all those Vita-to-PS4-to-PC ports cropping up on Steam all of a sudden.

NTSC is a TV standard that both the US and JP use. Both the US and JP versions are NTSC. The EU version is PAL.

Don't be a tud.
