So it finally arrived literally 2 hours ago... whats a quintessential Genesis game i should play that will make me appreciate the console as something other than a poor peoples Snes?

The only game i played years ago was Comic Zone and it kinda sucks.

Thanks for the suggestions... Now that i remember ive read somewhere years ago that theres a Shinobi game tvat features a boss that is pretty much Spiderman and ot was later replaced with a different boss... is that game a hack?

A game I was playing the other day was Alien storm, its like golden axe but what pushes it above snes is having 8 characters on screen at once with no slowdown at all as well having super sharp 320x224 graphics because of the carefully selected colour pallete.

Genesis hardware can beat snes if used right but it did not get quite as many developers as it should so slightly didn't meet its potential. I would avoid anything by Acclaim.

It depends on what your favorite snes games are, let me guess, zelda, mario, donkey kong.

No it's revenge of shinobi and it has Spiderman, Terminator, Batman, Rambo, Godzilla copyright infringements. There's like 4 differant revisions with various changes obviously 1.0 is the original.

Contra and Castlevania are the two best games. Unless you have a better version, play Ghouls 'n Ghosts. Play Shinobi 3. Rocket Knight is pretty good. Try Ranger X

Honestly the Genesis is such a based console, I find myself playing it more than my SNES.

Same. Games just seem to play better on the Genesis even with lower sounds quality and graphics. Not exactly sure why, honestly.

It's a lot of personal preference for me too. I just at the end of the day would rather play arcade shit than get invested in an RPG or something more long winded. Genny just has more of those than the SNES.

based list.

hot take: snes continued to rpg evolution, but genesis continue platformer evolution

>> mario -> sonic 2
