Hell, switch isn't a sales record breaker by any means, and both sega and sony beat them to the punch with console/handheald hybreds (nomad, psp and pstv), yet they get all this credit and praise for being so inmovative.

Sega had at least two great hardware releases when it comes to home console. To this day I champion the Genesis over the SNES for the simple fact that 99% of its games run at a higher resolution and don't run like they're stuck in molasses. I think they had incredible first party development teams too. The problem is a lot of their hardware releases can't be viewed as anything but failures. Sega CD was acceptable, but 32x and Saturn flopped hard in the west, and the Dreamcast made a good effort but clearly failed to meet projected sales with the heavy shadow of the PS2 looming over its head. I get why zoomers think Sega is bad; because they're fucking retarded and can only look at the failures while dismissing or ignoring anything good they ever did.

LOL, the only reason they survive is because nostalgia sells their 35 year old IPs which would be considered mediocre shit (certainly not enough to float an entire console) if they were released as new today.

Imagine going to the arcade in 1996 and seeing this. What made Sega great isn't their consoles, but how damn far they were willing to push 3D technology. The sheer amount of rendering techniques they pioneered was ridiculous. Hell, in 1999 they made a new arcade board for the sole purpose of proving that real-time phong shading could be done, a technique that nearly every modern 3D game uses in some capacity. They were the frontrunners during the formative years of 3D gaming, pushing the limits of what was believed to be possible over and over and over. Hell, even on console, the Dreamcast was doing things like cel shading and primitive phong shading during a time period when most didn't believe we had the technology for it yet.

The only developers who contributed more to the overall advancement of video games were the big names from the 70s and early 80s that pioneered things like color and sound in video games. Sega was a big fucking deal and sure as hell wasn't because of the Genesis.

Sega can't even survive from their nostalgia so what the fuck are you talking about.

Don't talk like Nintendo is bad or something, you can't fight the facts. We have two companies. One died and is making games for the other. One was always a mess, thought it was cool and attacked the competition by name.

Sony isn't bad either but it's just... there. They think having the latest technology on point is good enough but the games are boring and all look the gritty same.

If I were oblivious to games I'd still pick Nintendo because their console and games still point to the main thing a videogame should do: bring you fun.

Most of the people who make this statement exclusively refer to Sega's console games.

Sega was not a console gaming company. Sega was an arcade gaming company that had a console division.

If you want to talk about Sega you talk about arcade games. You talk about games like this:

https://youtu.be/guy5zy5LAmo

Sega was a company that took video games to a level few others would. They built giant and very expensive dedicated cabs for games that took multiple system boards working together to create gaming experiences that were years and years ahead of where consoles were at the time.

In addition to this Sega had an extreme dedication to games being played at a very high level. Virtua Fighter fighter exemplifies this.

Fat 30-something dudes with red neckbeards will write essays about how games need more story and needs to "say something" about society or some bullshit like that because they have never won a match of a fighting game in an arcade in their lives.

First, Super Mario RPG was made. It was partnered with Square though, and Nintendo couldn't depend on a third party for development for a major character more than once. When they decided to make another Mario RPG, they decided to take one of Miyamoto's crazy ideas and turn it into their new RPG series. A couple years later, they also made another RPG series for the GBA known as Mario and Luigi RPG. After Thousand Year Door and Super Paper Mario's under-performance compared to the Mario and Luigi RPG Series, Miyamoto declared that there should only be one Mario RPG series, and thus we got stuck with the trash that is Sticker Star and Color Splash. What's even worse is that Paper Jam, the newest Mario and Luigi RPG, is shit and Nintendo might take it as a sign to stop making Mario RPG series altogether, except to keep remastering games that aren't even 10 years old and are only 1 generation old.

Nintendo is an arrogant company that has been riding on nostalgia for the last 30 years, they believe they don't have to compete in their chosen industry and they demonstrate this by selling underpowered, overpriced and gimmicky game consoles. They have consistently been anticonsumer and anti third party which is why they have had the smallest line up of games since the fifth generation.

Sega doesn't exist anymore. Sega went bankrupt in 2004 after they pulled the Dreamcast. They were then bought out by Sammy, their biggest competitor (yea, even bigger than Nintendo), then started using the Sega name for their Console games development division.

The only new good new IP that came out of Sega Sammy is Yakuza, but they didn't want to advertise it in favor of new shitty Sonic games/ports of Genesis games.

There was no transition. Go read any multiplatform gaming mag from the 90s: Sega gets little praise. And most of their few good games came from third party devs that they just published or owned the IP for - Streets of Rage was made by Ancient, Shining Force by Camelot, Vectorman by Bluesky, and so on. The only good first party dev Sega had was Andromeda and STI.

The Genesis was a good piece of Hardware in 1989 and it still had advantages over the SNES which showed in fast action games.

That's the thing though. They should have let the Genesis die a natural death and start promoting the Saturn when they were about to finish developing it/ start getting the shipping contracts ready. I can't shit on the Genesis at all or the Sega CD, but I can shit on the 32x since it's a blatant attempt to keep the past alive when the 16-bit era was starting to end and it actively hindered the Saturn by shrinking the pool of customers they could sell it to (E3 1995 didn't do Sega any favors either. Or rather, Sega didn't do themselves any favors at E3 1995). They should have stopped caring about the Genesis and focus all of their attention on the Saturn instead of autistically adding an addon at the death of a console's lifespan.

CD has boring as shit level design and 3&K is just way too easy + too long.

2 has the nice middle spot between speed and platforming, without having too huge levels (Metropolis being the only exception, but it gets the pass because it is one of the final levels - it is supposed to be difficult).

SoJ demanded another Genesis add-on because they got spooked by the fucking Jaguar of all things.

I still think that because the Saturn was so ball-bustingly expensive that the 32X could've worked if they doubled down on it and positioned it as a low-cost option.

The Vectrex analog is great I dunno what made you think it isn't. The 5200s analog stick relies on Atari's trademark rubber dildo sleeve auto-centering method that just wears out on its own with time as the rubber dries out but I don't know what miraculous "modern" analog stick type talking about that has perfect durability and doesn't start drifting towards 10 o'clock

Honesty this is true to lesser extent for Capcom and Konami, too. They might not have had the huge fancy cabinets with all sorts of peripherals and such, but they both started out as arcade companies, gradually got into the console market over the decade form the mid 80s to the mid 90s, but didn't really fully focus on consoles until they got their respective cinematic hits on the Playstation in the mid-late 90s. But arcades seem to becoming less and less remembered by the retro gaming crowd as time goes on, so these companies' legacies as forgotten.

They took like a year to release Bayonetta and Anarchy Reigns outside of Japan...AR was dead by this point so they could only charge $30 for it...then they passed up Bayonetta 2 entirely so now Nintendo owns that shit and I had to borrow someone's WiiU to play it, so now they no longer hold anything to ransom me into buying their garbage systems with until Bayo 3.

Gramps is right. The Atari 2600, NES, TG16, and SNES are all based off of the MOS 6502. The SNES was the "ultimate" system based on that hardware.

On the other hard the Genesis is based off of the Motorola 68000 CPU, but it's a very gimped version of it compared to the Neo Geo, System 16, and CPS 1/2.

Comparing the SNES and Genesis against each other is a strange comparison from a hardware point of view.

Sega was the better company. They just fucked up completely in the worst way during the most pivotal moment of the 90s. It was a race to have the first big budget fully 3D platformer and Mario 64 was so good that Sega was too embarassed to continue working on the shitty 3D Sonic game they had in development. Even if they had released a shitty Sonic game... anything would have been better than nothing. Cold feet killed them.

Back in the day Sega built a lot of its games for arcades first, which led to certain games being innovative or just riskier in general. The arcade scene allowed Sega to try new ideas before moving on to home consoles. Once the arcade industry started to slow down that hit Sega kind of hard, forcing them to work on more console related projects while still pursuing its more risky business tactics which ended up hurting them in the end. I feel like a lot of the Sega hate comes from the companies recent track record and the forgotten arcade scene that Sega used to preform very well in.

SNES' good games are all RPGs basically. SMW is inferior to Mario 3 and has lazy gimmicks, SMRPG is easy babby's first RPG, people just pretend to like Pilotwings, F-Zero is overrated, LttP is barely better than Zelda 1 inferior to Zelda 2, Mario Kart, Super Metroid and Star Fox are legitimately good though.

That's not true at all. Sega is still one of the arcade kings in Japan. During the Dreamcast years, Midway Games was already beginning to pull out of the arcade scene, leaving Sega mostly uncontested to rule it. EVERY arcade during that era had Jurassic Park: The Lost World, Daytona USA 2, Crazy Taxi, and Star Wars Trilogy.

It was the Dreamcast's failure that largely dragged Sega's arcade presence down and not the other way around.

>They were shit at the hardware apart from the Dreamcast though
You can make a good argument that the Saturn was over-engineered and/or under-powered, but the Mega Drive was a pretty great console hardware wise.

Arguably it only had two design flaws, and the first one doesn't affect the base console. That flaw is that Sega didn't optimize the audio CPU (Z80) to playback PCM. The other design flaw is Sega didn't integrate expandability very well, but obviously that's not a base-console issue. There's the low color count, but that was merely a technological one (couldn't fit in enough palette cache) - they ran out of die space cramming in the other features at their price point.

Here's how it stacks up against the Super Famicom which was released over 2 years later at a slightly higher price.

>SFC: Variable speed CPU due to Nintendo cheaping out. Only runs at 3.58 MHz when accessing FastROM cartridges or internal registers, but 2.68 MHz when accessing RAM or SlowROM cartridges, and 1.79 MHz when accessing some external registers. Because it can't do register-to-register operations, it only ever actually runs at 3.58 MHz when doing an op between FastROM and an internal register, otherwise it'll always be slower than that.
>MD: Fixed speed at 7.6 MHz, can do register-to-register operations, has a fuckload more and bigger registers than the SFC CPU, and a much bigger and more versatile instruction set (even 32-bit instructions are supported).

>SFC: Work RAM is on an 8-bit bus, VRAM on a 16-bit bus.
>MD: Work RAM is on a 16-bit bus at a similar clock speed, for effectively double the bandwidth. Not so big of a bandwidth advantage for the CPU, but a massive benefit for the VDP when it does DMA. MD uses dual-ported 8-bit VRAM at a slightly higher clock speed, so overall it has a slightly higher bandwidth than SFC VRAM.

Now the SFC PPU is generally praised as representing a technological step forward over the older MD VPU, but it isn't that simple either.

>SFC: Can only do vertical tile scrolling in 2 layer/low-color modes (essentially when it enters "Mega Drive mode")
>MD: Can do vertical tile-scrolling in all modes.

>SFC: Can display up to 128 sprites on-screen.
>MD: Can display up to 80 sprites on-screen. However, both consoles are VRAM limited in how many sprites they can display. In practice, neither the SFC or MD can display up to 80 sprites simultaneously, but the MD can get closer to it due to having slightly faster VRAM.

>SFC: Can display maximum sprite size of 64x64, however, all sprite sizes MUST be square shaped, so any sprite that isn't square shaped basically wastes VRAM space/bandwidth with blank data. Also, only two sprite sizes out of the list of supported sizes can be displayed simultaneously (so if you use 64x64 sprites and 32x32 sprites, you cannot have 16x16 sprites or any other size on-screen unless you waste VRAM with more empty data).
>MD: Supports sprites of any size, for significantly greater efficiency. Any combination of sprite sizes can be mixed and matched on-screen.

>PPU: Has a massive set of registers, half of which aren't useful giving programmers a huge headache.
>MD: Clean and minimal, easy to program. No ridiculously limited sprite system to worry about.

>SFC: Actually attempted an entirely PCM based sound system in an era where cartridges had fuck-all memory, so PCM samples eat up precious cartridge room. All sounds currently being played have to fit in 64 KB of audio RAM. Impressive technology, but used too prematurely. At least it's easy to use.
>MD: Uses arcade quality 4-operator FM channels (albeit with less channels than arcade machines) which sound crisp and take up minimal space. Theoretically has more "voices" than SFC due to Master System channels also being available. Unfortunately, FM is very hard to do "right".

Anonymous Thu Oct 11 06:49:54 2018 No.5095862

>>5095856
>SFC: Audio CPU cannot "see" anything outside of the sound module making it ineffective as anything but an audio manger. It can't even copy audio samples into the audio RAM. The main CPU has to be halted and do it itself.
>MD: The audio CPU can access the cartridge ROM and main RAM independently of the main CPU, though it can't access a piece of memory simultaneously with it. However, this means that streaming PCM into audio RAM is easy since if the main CPU isn't touching the cartridge ROM, the audio CPU can freely load data from it.

>SFC: Tried and failed to integrate NES backwards compatibility
>MD: Actually got Master System backwards compatibility working

So as you can see, the Mega Drive is much better designed hardware overall than the SFC. That's not to say the Mega Drive was "more powerful" than the SFC (though there's a reasonable argument for that), or that the Mega Drive is perfect, but it was definitely great hardware from Sega.
