>why do people consider the SNES to be superior again?
Primarily because people associate more colors with more power, and fell for the Mode 7 gimmick. Also I guess people thought that synthesized music sounded more old-school than sample-based music so therefore it must be weaker.

Because of long running franchises. How many popular long running franchises were started on the Master System/Genesis compared to the NES/SNES?

Mario, Zelda, Final Fantasy, Metriod compared to Sonic.

People mostly only skim the surface and there is a lot more on the surface for the SNES, but if you actually attempt to delve into the library then you will actually find a lot of great Genesis games.

SNES was better at sports games, but Genesis had more sports games. But if there was a game on both, SNES was nearly always the one to chose.

[Anonymous No.3880987]

>>3880981
Also there has been a shift in preference among people that they want lengthier games, hence why games like Donkey Kong Country and Super Mario World with their many worlds and save system along with Sonic 3 + Knuckles are often cited as the better platformers during that era compared to games designed to be completed within a single sitting and no save system.

It's more than color and Mode 7. The Genesis couldn't due more than 2 background layers, transparency wasn't possible, and it supported fewer sprites on-screen.

And you're giving the Genesis sound chip too much credit. It sounded nice if you knew what you were doing, but there's a reason why DX7 owners always stuck to the presets.

The fake transparency on the Genesis is limited. You can't fade it in or out, and there's no additive blending like the SNES.

As for the backgrounds, the Genesis' way of faking extra background layers was also done on the SNES, and even the NES. But again, it's limited. None of the fake layers can overlap.

[Anonymous No.3881869]

>>3881843
Genesis can simulate true transparencies with shadow & highlight palettes. See Ranger X, Ristar and Vectorman.

Also genesis can do overlapping bg layers. See my previous examples and Toy Story.

>>3881808
>The Genesis couldn't due more than 2 background layers
Virtually any console can fake extra transparency layers - with some limitations of course. But that's besides the point.

Once you start pushing more than 2 background layers on SNES, your color pallet becomes ridiculously low. Hell, I believe that on SNES only one background layer can be 256-colors while any extra layers have to be 16-color or less. On Genesis, both layers can be 64-color.

>transparency wasn't possible
In a strict sense, it's true, but Genesis supports a unique color feature called shadow/highlight which can create a legit (no mesh shit) psuedo-add/psuedo-subtract effect.

>it supported fewer sprites on-screen.
On paper, the SNES PPU supports more sprites than the Genesis VDP. However, in practice, the opposite is true. Both consoles are VRAM-bandwidth bound when it comes to display sprites (e.g. neither console can reach its sprite limit). As the Genesis has more VRAM bandwidth (not to mention, more CPU speed and main RAM bandwidth) in practice it will be capable of a lot more sprites on screen at a faster framerate.

Hell, I believe that on SNES only one background layer can be 256-colors while any extra layers have to be 16-color or less. If you do 4 background layers, they ALL have to be really REALLY low color. On Genesis, both layers can be 64-color.

Most definitely not, all the good Genny (or MD) fighting games are multiplat, the only noteworthy exclusive is Yu Yu Hakusho. Eternal Champions is terrible, just like most western fighting games at that time (including Killer Instinct). The SNES (or rather, the SFC) has things like Gundam: Endless Duel, DBZ: Hyper Dimension, TMNT: Tournament Fighters (much better than the Genesis version), Ranma 1/2: Chougi Rambu Hen. Flash Hiders SFX.

Same applies to puzzle games, the Genesis has Mean Bean Machine / Puyo Puyo (multi)... and what more? Columns is painfully average, Mega Panel is decent. The SFC has fucktons of puzzles.

>SNES

>platforming

Also debatable, the SNES wins by the sheer number of games, but the Genesis has many great platform games as well. I can't choose between Sonic, Ristar, Illusion (series), Dynamite Headdy and Kid Chameleon or Mario, Kirby, Magical Quest (series), DKC and Goemon.

>In a strict sense, it's true, but Genesis supports a unique color feature called shadow/highlight which can create a legit (no mesh shit) psuedo-add/psuedo-subtract effect.

Which required you to either sacrifice a background layer, or add a fuckton of extra sprites.

>I believe that on SNES only one background layer can be 256-colors while any extra layers have to be 16-color or less

I don't think it's 16 colors per background layer, but 16 colors per palette, of which backgrounds can use 8. Modes 3 and 4 have a "direct color" mode that doesn't use palettes; this is where the 256 colors thing comes from. Not many games used it, though.

[Anonymous No.3882367]

>>3882347

>Which required you to either sacrifice a background layer
Which is exactly the same on the SNES since it's not sprites which are transparent but layers.

Nevertheless, developers found ways to make it work. Pic related is "real" transparency, no mesh shit (well, as "real" as SNES transparency anyway)

There's no easy workaround for the Mega Drive's limited pallete, Shadow mode doesn't work for shading (Ecco 2 and Lost World tried, though) because it works per tile basis instead of a pixel-level basis. Shadow mode is only really good at simulating... shadows.

On the other hand, the BG color #0 trick is pretty interesting, you can create pretty sweet gradients, but it was rarely used. Shadow of the Beast II on the Mega CD uses this kind of interrupts and looks really cool, it also surpasses the 61 color limit because of this (pic related is exactly 75 colours).

Hmmm. The story of how Genesis ended up beating the SNES.

Well actually, to be accurate, it's the story of how the SNES with its superior yet somehow still slow gaming system and 3rd party support that was still clearly pissed with how they were treated during the 8bit gen crushed the Mega Drive in pretty much one region which was JP, while in Japan, consumers there (most of which are born pedos and commit suicide in huge numbers) prove themselves the dumbest in the world by making the blatantly wrong choice.

I mean I remember the early 90s. I played games like SCV4. NOTHING compared to Sonic 2 or Beyond Oasis or PSIV or the other great exclusives or any of the third party titles on the Mega Drive. And hopefully people can agree that now! To me, to whole SNES in Japan is a historical take we can look back on in which most of Japan VG consumers made the wrong choice, influenced purely by autism.

And them history repeated itself Wii, Wii U, and useless expensive Amiibos. Never underestimate how just plain wrong loli porn enthusiasts can be (surprise surprise).

You should know what you like from both systems by now. Idorts with both are the real winners.

yeah cause they didn't know what they were doing and the the dx7 itself wasn't helping

I'm not action games just have objectively better music than RPGs so I don't get what the fuss over fake orchestra bullshit is, even if the SNES used CD audio real orchestra still sucks ass compared to synthesized metal

I'm not false flagging you retard, I do love the SNES but fake orchestra music does suck ass. I like the SNES for its plethora of other games because JRPGs suck and are for loser redditors that think FF3, CT and Earthbound are the best games on the console

[Anonymous No.3891782]

SNES (including the SFC library) was better at:
>Turn-Based RPGs
>Simulation (life, construction, sports)
>Action-RPGs / Action-Adventures
>Fighting
>Puzzles
>Turn-Based Strategy / Tactical RPGs
>Board / Card games

Genesis (including the CD/32X software) was better at:
>Sports
>Shmups (vert / hori)
>Beat'em ups
>Dungeon Crawlers
>Adventures
>Run 'n Guns
>RTS

roughly the same
>Platformers (leaning towards the SNES)
>Racing (leaning towards the MD)

Prove me wrong.

gradius and r-type both run at 2fps
thunderforce 3 is better than thunderforce 4 as well which you are trying to imply is the only good one. Hellfire is better than all snes horis. trouble shooter and battlemania daiginjou is better than all snes horis. Gaiares is better than all snes horis. Also bio metal is very average and everything else

Bullshit, you're being a Sega fanboy now.

MD has a lot of great shmups, but so does the SNES.
Thunder Force III is better than IV, I agree on that.

the genesis had a faster cpu, could handle more sprites, and output 25% more horizontal resolution for most games.

genesis was a shit tier console by a failed shit tier company, whose best known series was made for literal autists, with few to no good exclusives.

When I talk to people about older games they always gravitate towards the SNES because it did have franchises established before it and continued through it.

Not many people pick something like Phantasy Star, Toejam and Earl, and especially not Joe Montana Football.
