/vr/ - Retro Games

[Anonymous No.6913464]

Childhood is thinking nothing will ever top the Super Nintendo. Adulthood is realising that the Mega Drive was the true king of the generation:
>larger variety of games
>superior ports
>better music (yes I said it)
>better visuals (plus higher resolution)
>more challenge
>CD add-on even has a few worthwhile games and didn't inadvertently create the PlayStation in doing so
I know, I know, another console war thread but I genuinely want to hear why people still claim the SNES is superior. I just feel like most of that console's games don't hold up nearly as well as those on SEGA's 16-bit system.

Adulthood is putting childish things, like retro games, away. Don’t kid yourself.

See, this could have been just a comfy Mega Drive thread pre rule change. Post tracks https://youtu.be/zpsu8Y4Zov0

Compare games that were released for both systems. Almost every time the SNES version was superior, with a few exceptions like Earthworm Jim.

Just off the top of my head, Bishoujo Sailer Moon, Robocop vs. Terminator, Mortal Kombat, Final Fight and Aladdin are all better on Mega Drive

[Anonymous No.6913698]

i preffer the genesis version of Batman and Robin over the snes version.
snes version was more focused on the gadgets and platforming, and you don't see a lot of enemies on the screen simultaneusly, although it does a better job simulating the cartoon, the graphics are a little better because of it.

the genesis version is like a contra clone, the music is just doing its own thing, instead of trying to emulate the classic batman theme it's just blasting techno beats and it's great.
the action feels more fast paced and constant with little interruption, just comparing the first few levels you can see the genesis version is not afraid to throw more enemies at you from every corner.

Genesis games I care about (Including 32X, Sega CD) : 340

I got a SNES far later, but I'll never understand how people like that shitty console.

Sega were the kings of the arcade. There are plenty of competent SNES games, but they're home system titles, not arcade quality. The only SNES game I consider a classic is Super Metroid, but it's trivially easy.

[Anonymous No.6913892]

>>6913880
SF2 turbo? Mario World? Mario Kart? Sim City? ISS Deluxe?

I'd have these 5 as the zenith of their genres. Metroid is unquestionably the best of its genre.

[Anonymous No.6913898]

Had both as a kid, played the more obvious releases. SNES mostly has JRPGs and I can't say I want to play any of them after being so underwhelmed by earthbound and final fantasy 6.

Genesis is absolutely more appealing.

[Anonymous No.6913907]

>>6913892
SF2 is just a shoddy port, SMW is one of those games I'll never understand given SM3 had most of those features and the few additions were mostly casualisations, and I've always hated Mario Kart given it's a bastardisation of the racing genre into a fucking party game. Sim City is an actual garbage port, and soccer games are shit.

I’d say that’s a pretty fair take

SNES has a vastly deeper catalog if you include JP games, and a lot of the best genesis games are JP anyway so there's no point in restricting it to the US.
hardware-wise I prefer the genesis despite the shittier colors, and I agree that it had better sound, but SNES still had the better library overall. they're both good consoles, but there's a reason SNES is seen as superior outside of this board.

[Anonymous No.6913961]

Childhood is having a megadrive but and thinking that the SNES that your friends have was better but suspecting it might be just because you don't have it.
Adulthood is having both consoles and confirming that the SNES is in fact better by a long way even though there are good games on both.

Well apparently we used to be able to have threads about Shining Force >>/vr/thread/S3818128#p3818128 and now we suddenly can't. I wonder what happened.

[Anonymous No.6913972]

>>6913952

>SF2
Best port.

>SMW
SMB3 dominated 8 bit. Even if I was to agree that SMW was just an upgrade, which I don't, it was an upgrade of THE 8bit scotformer. You can't name a better Sega game.

>SMK
Again, you can't name a superior Sega game

>SimCity
Feel free to cite a superior Sega game

>soccer
Once again I am asking you to cite a superior Sega football game.

And of course when I say Sega game, I mean a Megadrive port.

The genesis has technically better music, but it sounds worse to me. Like the palette they’re working with or something . Really don’t like the genesis music

Yeah, I love the Genesis but you're absolutely wrong.
>larger variety of games
That may be true but the SNES has a large variety of actually good games. There are maybe like 30 genuinely excellent Genesis games.
>superior ports
Play The Hyperstone Heist and Sunset Riders compared to their SNES counterparts.
>better music
Compare both versions of Zombies Ate My Neighbors and Super Off Road and get back to me.
>CD add-on even has a few worthwhile games and didn't inadvertently create the PlayStation in doing so
The Sega CD was pretty much the beginning of the end for Sega and led to them trying to put the Genesis on life support with the 32X and 32X CD games. Plus there are like 3 good games for the CD so wrong again.

Other than Square, most of the big Japanese developers put out rather underwhelming SNES games compared with their NES efforts.

Adulthood is knowing that you can't be a kid again, but doing what you love regardless, because you don't have to answer to anybody. Only those who are mentally weak are still trying to fit in and do what everybody else wants you to do.
