Great picture of a beautiful console. PS1's one of the best, but I'd give it to the NES/Famicom; between SMB1-3, the Mega Man series before it turned to shit, prime Castlevania, Contra and Super C, Ninja Gaiden series, Sunsoft's masterpieces like Gimmick and Batman, and cult classics like Shatterhand and Vice, there's no better action game library in existence

It just has a good variety of both arcade and console games from the late 80s and early 90s, you get a better flavour for the era over the SNES imo.

>Too bad the North American design is a bit shit

I like the North American design, has a very clean, understated look. It reminds me of a car engine for some reason. The light/dark purple colour scheme is fun without being too flashy. The Famicom/EuroSNES is still really nice though. They're both distinctively 90s without looking dated. Both designs have aged much better than the OG Genesis, which looks really tacky in comparison and lays on every 80s marketing trick imaginable ("INTELLIGENT TERMINAL / 16-BIT / HIGH GRADE MULTIPURPOSE USE")

The NA cartridges are objectively better though.

I like both deisgns, and I don't understand what's so "omg uglyyy!" about the US model. It just seems it's either angry europeans who can't understand that different!=ugly, or hipster zoomers who want to be different.
I can understand preferring one over the other, but outright loathing the US SNES as much as some people pretend to do? naah.
I'm also surprised the NES doesn't get more flak for its (useless) redesign. Apart from some knowitalls repeating some did you know gaming-tier stuff like "akkkschually, they changed the design so it looks more like a VCR, '83 crash, etc, etc", most people don't even seem to mind the fact that the NES is actually a rather bland square that's bigger than it needs to be when compared to the iconic Famicom.
In contrast, the US SNES actually keeps the same size of the SFC.
Also the best console of all time is the Famicom, by the way.

This sounds extremely pretentious, I'm not even sure what you're trying to imply, but overall 4th gen was a more polished version of 3rd gen, expanding on genres that were already stablished back then.
5th gen was when 3D gaming became mainstream so I guess that's when developers left their comfort 2D zone and started experimenting again.

I thought most of the 2D capabilities of the Saturn were used just to make perfect arcade ports from the 80s. I mean I love Outrun on the Saturn, but it's not an unexplored idea.

Other than that I guess the most famous 2D game on the Saturn that was exclusive to it was Sakura Wars, which again I'm sure it's good but it's not mind blowing compared to other tactical games on 4th gen consoles.

So lets break that down for you, since you're too retarded to understand even your own words.
>What did developers do on the SNES
They created a racing game
>What did this racing game do to push the genre forward
The producer of Daytona USA directly stated that he was a fan of this game and was influenced by it when creating his own game.

But in your retarded mind, you're thinking "But anon, Daytona USA doesn't look anything like F-Zero! F-Zero couldn't have possibly influenced Daytona USA! The producer just simply doesn't know what he is talking about and you're hiding behind a wikipedia article that quotes him. I want you to tell me how Daytona USA ripped off F-Zero".

So we can conclude;
A. you don't understand what the word 'influence' means
B. Even if you did, you wouldn't know how influence works in an artistic context
C. You moved the goalposts from "How did F-Zero push forward a genre" to "What games directly ripped off F-Zero"
And Finally

they honestly feel bland, like devs weren't trying too much.
And yes the colors feel washed out, it's not hard to understand under any context. Just look at the sprites on the DBZ screenshot and tell me these colors look fine.
There are many good looking 2D games on 5th gen, mainly arcade ports, and mainly on Sega Saturn, but it still can't compete with the 2D heaven that was 4th gen. PC Engine+MD+SFC all you need for 2D (other than arcades).

I don't think a highly obscure Japan only game title is a great example of the majority of 2D games of the generation.
-Legend of Mana
-Ganbare Goemon: Uchū Kaizoku Akogingu
-Mega Man X4 (also on saturn, uh-oh!)
-Rayman
-Gunner's Heaven
-Brave Prove
-In the Hunt
-Punky Skunk
-Panzer Bandit
-Herc's Adventures
-saga frontier 2
That's just a few. They have very vibrant 2D graphics, but I'm sure someone with such a disgustingly close minded view on on the matter will feel attacked and offended they would be put on the spot with this post. There is also an obvious reason why these 2D games focus on bright characters on darker, flatter backgrounds that lose detail as they go deeper back.

Closed minded? I said there are good looking 2D games on 5th gen, and mainly on Saturn.
The games you mentioned are alright, but all of them have equal counterparts (or better) on 4th gen systems, not counting arcade ports like In The Hunt.
Pic related is still how a lot of games looked like. Lazy digitalized sprites with washed colors.

I mean, your reply doesn't really add anything to the discussion, just you dismissing me with empty words such as "half-assed" despite I clearly posted an argument AND an example.
2D just wasn't hot during 5th gen and it shows.
It's fine to enjoy 5th gen stuff, I like my Saturn and my arcade ports on it, and I also love some exclusive 2D games, like Taromaru, but it still has the same issue regarding the sprites.
5th gen isn't where I'd look for primarily if I'm looking for the best 2D games.
It has some good adjacent titles, mostly sequels from 4th gen games, but most of the times I don't prefer these sequels to the earlier entries either.

Neither of those games use digitized sprites, those are hand drawn. digitized is like in shinboi x or mortal kombat.

>> No.6288702

>>6288693
>hand-drawn
And then digitized (sorry for mispelling as digitalized, ESL here), like Earthworm Jim. But in difference to EWJ, many 5th gen games that used that same technique ended looking, as I said, washed out, and opaque, not very vibrant.
I'm being honest and not having any sort of bias, it's genuinely what I think of many 5th gen 2D games. Didn't help that many games mixed 3D backgrounds or polygonal graphics, so the 2D sprites do feel like "cut outs".
It feels less cohesive than older 2D games.
Super Tempo (and the original Tempo) are pretty good.

Are there any consumer CRTs that don't have RF? If not you can always use a VCR. I've got one RGB Famicom and one stock RF. My AV and NES hardly get any use

I grew up knowing nothing of how the SNES here in the States was different. I don’t have a preference but I do like the look of the other design as well. Would love to own one but have no reason to.

It's a Super Famicom. What other reason do you need?
