Convince me that the snes couldn't sell more units if it wasnt for the copypasted jarpigs and brand recognition.

What possesses someone to go through the effort of drawing OC, but then trace a fucking wojak face anyway?

Has the world completely run out of new ideas?

literally all that matters are the PPU gimmicks

these are 16-bit games, you do not need processing you need COLORS and LAYERS which means you need NEO GEO

Wrong.

You mean better.

That's the only drawback genesis has, but it's also got better ergonomic.

>>7082838
>you need COLORS and LAYERS
You need to move those colors and layers with minimal fps drop as well.

The 3-button is not a draw back. It was great compared to the other competition's controllers at the time it debuted.

while i like me some genesis, you can't deny that the snes outclassed it in everything except speed.

snes just didn't bring as much to the table to actually create new genres and reinvent existing types of games.

Static menu screens don't count. SNES resolution in actual gameplay was 256x224, so Genesis wins.

[Anonymous No.7084287]

>>7083063
In practice, most snes games have equal or even poorer resolution than genesis games because the crappy CPU can't handle it. SNES is only good for turn based JRPG.

True
>better, fast paced, arcade accurate games, no time for gay jarpigs
Yep
>no censors
Eh, less censored anyway, but sure. Better situation than SNES.
>better third party developer support
Debatable. Better Western games in their original aspect ratio, but Konami and Capcom had more and better representation on SNES. (Hardcorps and Bloodlines aside)
>brute its way through 3D polygons without external chips
Sure, but still not great.
>mega turrican>super transtroid
Apples and oranges. Also don't pretend Super Metroid's bad...
>action RPGs unmatched by other 16 bit consoles such as beyond the oasis, landstalker, and shadowrun
Beyond's pretty based, Landstalker and Shadowrun... eh... maybe throw Crusader of Centy in there

> 512 x 448
The SNES did have this mode, but, it was very limited and rarely used. Most games and graphics modes were 256 x 224. The Secret of Mana menu screens comes to mind as one of the few times 512 x 448 was ever used. Pic related.

[Anonymous No.7084314]

>>7083063
Few if any SNES games use those higher resolution modes. Most games run at 256x224.

Also the sprite sizes and max number of sprites values on that chart are misleading or flat out wrong. On SNES sprite sizes are fixed and you're limited to only 2 different sizes at a time. On the Genesis sprite sizes can be any combination of values from 8x8 up to 32x32 as long as the values are divisible by 8. On SNES you can't do that so games end up wasting VRAM space by being forced into using certain sprite sizes. This also limits how many sprites can be on screen at a time. So basically while on paper SNES may look better in that sense, in practice it's far more limited.

For a system released in late 1988 being able to be well support to early 1995 is just incredible what they were able to do. Though there were a few times limited cartridge space caused inferior graphics compared to the amiga. It was a premium system until pc was able to do doom. It just makes you think how it could go so wrong with the saturn. Also back in about 1990 a lot of people had the attitude that the they will only buy nintendo no matter what. Fast gameplay holds up more than being able to display more colours.

It still got new official titles released in the US and Europe until 1998. In Brazil, over a million units had been shipped in the early 2000s.

snes = sub standard resolution, forced hardware blur filter, shit d-pad, weak audio with obnoxious reverb and out of tune instruments, sub standard 3.5 mhz cpu, 8bit data bus, no satisfying shooting or action games, snes = filthy casuals choice

What? That would’ve been horrible. The straight layout lets you hit any combination of the buttons really rapidly. You aren’t holding it right if that’s you’re issue. The controller should’ve had shoulder buttons or 6 buttons though

They're zoomers who watched an AVGN video and then played a few ROMs on a mini console. Apparently not a single one of them are even aware the Mega Drive had a 6-button controller.

>Konami and Capcom had more and better representation
What good games did the genesis miss aside from Super Castlevania and (a good port of) Sunset Riders?
>still not great.
Zero Tolerance, Outlander, Kawasaki Superbike Challenge, Red Zone, Space Harrier, Afterburner 2, Star Cruiser, as well as pseudo 3D games such as Vectorman, The Lost World Jurassic Park, and Toy Story are all great.

3 button controller had better dpad. Didn't care much about the 6 button one, it felt mediocre.

genesis was cheaper and it had a wider selection of games to rent at movie rental shops when i was a kid

thats why i got one. ill say the snes' best games are better than the genesis' best games for sure, but i got plenty of chances to play those eventually. they were so fuckin expensive at the time tho, it was out of the question, i didnt even bother asking my folks for it.

Not the kind of games I'd enjoy playing but alright. I'm sure Yoshi's Island was expensive as fuck back in the day.

Modern games requiring 27+ buttons is a hassle. Outside of Street Fighter, which still can be played what retro games need more than 3 buttons?

[Anonymous No.7085072]

>>7085014
DKC series were pretty good. I didn't like 3 much, but only because the first 2 were better.

Check out Mega Man X, Super Punch Out, Star Wars platformers. I wouldn't bother with any JRPGs, they take too fucking long to play.
