I can't have a reasoned debate with you because you've been conditioned to like slow homogenised Capcom-style platforming.

You see - the biggest different between SNES and Genesis Aladdin is that the SNES version is interchangeable with any other Capcom platformer.

Quite literally everyone I hung out with on the regular as a kid owned both MD/Genesis and SNES in the 4th gen while nearly no one owned anything but NES and/or gameboy in the 3rd (I was an exception, owning both NES and SMS but no others).
Additional 4th gen consoles I also owned: TG16, SCD, Neo Geo and GG.

Because of this, I didn't know the 'console wars; was a thing outside of Sega advertising until I began frequenting vidya forums.

That's the thing: I'm pretty sure we weren't rich. My father was a low-level diplomat and, despite what TV tells you, they don't earn a huge amount of money. Most of my friends weren't rich, either. We lived in a US middle-class area and most of my friends were neighbourhood kids. They were mostly working class or lower-middle-class more than anything.

Growing up, I owned Turbo Express, Lynx and Game Gear. I never had GB, but most of my friends did.
And while I did get a private, left-wing education, it was due to connections, grants and scholarships rather than my parents actually paying out of pocket. I had very few friends at school.

If by faster you mean more spastic and imprecise, the yeah.

>stronger levels

Not really, level design is in the typical western-style platformer level design where levels are more "open ended" and not as focused and well designed. The game's sprite animations were done by Disney professionals, but the game design is kind of amateurish.

>cooler cut scenes and bonus levels

Virgin's has "cutscenes" made of still images and text
https://youtu.be/IO60SF4CC_c?t=29m29s

Whiles Capcom's game has actual cutscenes
https://youtu.be/_inY8qT5UT4?t=13m42s

I'll give you the Virgin game has a "better" bonus stage, although it's not really that great. Plus the Capcom game has the bonus level with Jasmin on the flying carpet which completely shits all over the Abu bonus on Virgin's game.

>a sword

Just like in the movie right? I love how Aladdin slays his way through cutting guards' throats.

Seriously now, the sword on the Virgin's game sucks due to its horrible hit detection. Apples are still more efficient than the sword.

>a better soundtrack

Both are good, but I think the Genesis soundtrack could have been better.

>There's a reason that the Genesis Aladdin was ported to PC.

Because virgin was more likely to port a game to PC rather than Capcom? Also, the PC port sucked ass, it has cropped screen with an useless UI and it's missing some levels.

What other Capcom game plays like Aladdin? show me another Capcom game where I can jump and bump on enemies, hold on to ledges and swing on handles as you can see here:

/vr/'s desperate SEGA cult appears, denying their company ever did anything wrong. Of course.

The Genesis was marketed as the edgy mature machine that was better than the 8 bit NES (WOOOOW) and despite their efforts failed to fend off the all-conquering SNES. The SNES was overall more appealing and more advanced than the Genesis, which is especially apparent in sound and color. Sometimes it pays to be humble, SEGA fags, but no here you are contained to /vr/ because you don't matter anywhere else.

The SNES has slow CPU (hence the common slowdown in most SNES games), and far too little sample memory to take advantage of the wavetable synthesis, so the sound is worse than the Genesis. The real reason SNES won is because Sega was still producing arcade-style games, while Nintendo was well on the way to full casualization. Bad games sell better because they don't require any skill or effort to win.

No, they do admit that Sega fucked up, but they blame it all on Sega of Japan, and praise Kalinske and his other jewish marketers as the saviors of the gaming world and the reason Sega was ever relevant world-wide. It's really stupid, but that's what they do.

Also, neither the SNES or the Genesis was "better", both were pretty amazing machines, the most important thing was the developers, not the systems themselves.

Good developers could work with the limitations at hand and still offer amazing games.

not everyone doing Genesis soundtracks was Yuzo Koshiro, same as not everyone doing soundtracks on SNES were Konami Kukeiha Club.
Stop being retarded also with your whole "casualization hurrr", the word "casual" wasn't even used in regards to video games until the 2000s, way to show how new are you to the videogame world, 00s baby.

That's because the decline was gradual enough that people didn't notice it until then. But compare the level of handholding and timewasting (cutscenes etc.) in NES games vs. SNES games, and you'll see how games were made worse to appeal to the mass market.

There was no decline during the 90s, the exact opposite happened. The progress and increase in depth and complexity that happened during the 90s is amazing, console games overall went from being shallow simple arcade-ish scrollers to being timeless masterpieces and fully fledged experiences like the PSX era RPG:s, OoT, spyro 1-3, crash bandicoot, FFT etc. Also late 90s/early 2000s PC gaming has an insanely good library.

The casualization and pandering to the lowest common denominator began with the PS2 generation and exploded with the 360/wii.

>b-but muh hardcore arcade games

The very nature of arcade games (played in public/semi-public spaces) means that they are required to appeal to the lowest common denominator and be as simple and quick to play as possible so anyone can try them.
Sure, some of them are hard to master but it's still just button-mashing, and in no way can progress from that be called "decline" just because the games slowly got easier (though with the added option to play on higher difficulty levels, something that most relevant titles had).

That's only true on some arcade games. For example:
Doesn't matter how many quarters you put in Outrun, one quarter equals one race. If you can't finish in time you have to replay from the beginning.
AfterBurner on the other hand you can beat in one sitting by just popping in quarters. You wouldn't even need to fire a shot and you could beat that game by just feeding it.

We've already went through this, basically:

2. Capcom's game has better game design (not really a surprise since Capcom were at their peak doing 2D arcade games at that point, and Dave Perry's team were amateurs in comparison).

This is an entirely different topic that only really became relevant in the last 5 years or so. It's also only true for certain AAA-titles (and titles in genres where focus on story is to be expected - genres that really didn't exist in the barren arcade days btw). If you like button-mashing so much i'm sure there are quite a few titles for you on the iphone.

>>2850369
>You act like Aladdin SNES is some kind of deep game

I didn't.

>the gameplay is just as shallow as the Genesis one

No, more thought was put into not only the controls and physics, but the level design as well. It's still an easy, simple game, but it's a lot better designed as a game than Virgin's game which feels unfocused (those open-ended, "maze-like" levels that were so prevalent in 80s and 90s western platformers).

The Capcom game is a good platformer, not bad, not excellent or perfect.
Virgin's game is a mediocre/bad platformer, with great sprite animations (again though, the backgrounds are kind of ugly, I much prefer the polish and detail Capcom put into the background graphics more than Virgin did).

>> No.2850419

>>2850382
>Yeah because grinding is such a casual mechanic.
It's casual, you can still beat the game even if you suck balls at it, you can't say the same about something like Revenge of Shinobi or Castlevania 3. Grinding just requires a time-waster NEET who wants to see the ending of the game, the joy of an action/arcade game is in the gameplay itself and not proceed to the next cutscene/ending.

>that only really became relevant in the last 5 years or so
Are you retarded? the only reason most 4th and 5th gen JRPG are liked is because of their for people who suck at video games but at the same time lack persistence for a good book.

You could not, because completing a JRPG by grinding is universally accepted as legitimate. Unlike if somebody claims to have completed an arcade game by credit feeding, in which case everybody will call them out as a liar.

This isn't really surprising, because there is no clear boundary between grinding and ordinary leveling, so "no grinding" is not an enforceable rule. This makes JRPGs a casual genre.

Again, the difference is in the penalization. See this >>2850307

Not only JRPGs don't penalize you for dying, but also you can get your character ovepowered by just wasting time in the same area gaining levels and items, you can't do this on most action/arcades because of:
-time limit
-better balanced challenge unlike RPGs.

>> No.2850447

You're a fucking retard. The fact that they're specifically calling out the A-team implies the existence of a B-team.

Runs like those typically require extensive knowledge of the game mechanics that a first-time couldn't reasonably know, though. Still, a lot of RPG's are very possible to beat the first time through without grinding.

>>2850438

Throwing apples is still more efficient, why bother with the sword?
I don't think what you're describing is a "parry", it's just a sound effect when the enemy blocks your attack. Parrying would mean that you hit your enemy in a certain timing and leave him open for an attack, that's not the case with this game.
All you have to do in Aladdin is mash the button to inflict damage to your enemy, there's no timing required.

And again, just use apples.

The SNES version has completely unremarkable graphics. It's no Chrono Trigger/Star Ocean/SD3. And the Genesis version isn't Sonic 3/Alien Solider/Ristar either, but it does have one stand-out attribute, the animation. Therefore the Genesis version is superior.

Are there any other games that addressed this "A-team" stuff? I never played any Final Fantasy game so I never saw that ending.

Anyway, with "Millennial use of the term" I meant mostly on video game discussion boards.
The whole "B-team" argument to shitpost got popular with Dark Souls II. Before that you wouldn't see people using "b team lololol" as an argument to shitpost that much.

Anyway, again, Capcom's "Z team" would still be better than Virgin's "A team".

>>2850443

>Both the Aladdin games are mediocre

The Capcom game is at least a competent platformer with solid level design and good controls.
Virgin's game is not really solid at all. Typical western platformer with little substance and wonky controls.

As for graphics, I already told you that yeah, the sprite animations are great, otherwise though:

I wasn't being ironic, it's really fun, it's at least half of the reason I love the dreamcast, the other half being a culmination of Pro Skater 2, JGR, and Virtua Tennis

Fun story. I was given Sega Bass Fishing for Christmas(00 or 01) and was pissed. My parents were notoriously cheap and I figured they bought a fishing game because it was the least expensive game(that part is still probably true) but color me surprised when I actually play it a couple days later. Still own it to this day.

It's really fun.

Another great fishing game is Itoi's no. 1 bass fishing on N64.
It has a lot of customization and even some RPG elements.
A special fishing controller called Tsuricon was released for it, but it's also playable with a regular controller and a rumble pak.

The N64 game is actually an improved version of an earlier Super Famicom edition of Itoi's no. 1 bass fishing.
