Why is the Sega Megadrive sound chip vastly superior to the Super Nintendo's? Take for instance Beavis & Butthead's opening:

SNES sounds flat and pathetic, while the Megadrive's rendition is more energetic and robust. How can the SNES even compete?

Because you specifically picked a game where they nailed it with the Megadrive version.

I know this thread is bait and all, but after hearing the SNES version I know what people mean when they say fart in a tin can.

Play Street Fighter on both. SNES version has better sound (listen to the speech and hits) but Genesis/MD has better music.
