Sega Genesis vs Super Nintendo

[Alias]

Which was the better system in your opinion?

[Asarien]

Hmm... Tough choice indeed. Asarien thinks he was more about the Genesis.

[Generic Wheaties]

Snes.

[Moses]

the genises so kicked SNES' ass.

[PeterC]

SNES. I would never say the other inferior console, even though it is 4 times better than any this generation console. Nothing will replace my childhood memories. I picked up a Super Mario Super Show DVD yesterday in Safeways with a few of my mates with me. They laughed, but I laughed harder when watching it at home. Classic days.

[Dwhitten]

Genesis. Who could beat Sega channel that day? Certainly not Super Nintendo.

[Asarien]

Hey now, Nintendo also went online.

[Gunpei]

i prefer super nintendo because of the nostalgia factor but genesis was equally as good, i just never played it that much.

[Dwhitten]

Not like Sega Channel did.

[dementia]

Genesis beats the living shit out of SNES until it cries.

And it had better sound and a faster processor and a higher resoulution, despite it coming out 2 years earlier.

[PeterC]

Graphics never really mattered to me back then. Find me a game with better looks than Donkey Kong Country.

DKC is one of the best looking 16-bit games. SNES displayed more colors than the Genny and that's why.

SNES games look better in static images, but often slowdown and flicker in motion. The Genesis has a smaller color pallette, but almost twice the processing speed, so you'd rarely see slowdown in a Genesis game, unless there was a LOT happening on screen at once (like when playing Gunstar Heroes in 2 player co-op).

I hate the Genesis controller.

I hate it.

[dementia]

I love it. The official 6-button controller is the second best standard fighting game controller, right behind the Saturn's. The D-pad is great for QCFs and HCBs.

I enjoyed the games on Super Nintendo more than many this-gen games.

[PeterC]

I do agree on the sound though. Sonic music was awesome.

[Asarien]

The music was the best part of Sonic The Hedgehog games.

[Bombardier]

As did I. For this reason I am looking to purchase an SNES that is in working order. If anyone wants to sell thiers, contact me. If not, I'll hit up eBay.

I never did like the Genesis, the controller feels so cheap, and most its games are meh.

[Generic Wheaties]

I don't even know why I have my vote on SNES. I remember playing the genises everyday. http://www.espiokaos.com/midis/s2_sg_35.mid


, but almost twice the processing speed, so you'd rarely see slowdown in a Genesis game, unless there was a LOT happening on screen at once .

Like when playing sonic and you stepped on a spike and all your rings went flying everywhere, the game would take a shit. I thought that kind of stuff would be fixed in the gamecube port of the sonic collection. But nothing was fixed. Bastards at Sega.

[dementia]

well, the Games on Sonic Mega Collection are emulated. Not Ported.

And It really only slows down in splitscreen. Either way, that's only one example, and understandably, because it's a lot going on on screen.

[PeterC]

You made my day GW with that music, thank you.

[Pats]

I loved my Genesis dearly.

SNES music wins, fellas.

Now I feel like playing Sonic. Time to bust out Sonic Mega Collection.

[Moses]

good idea...

Mean Bean Machine cheats so bad...

[D3adcell]

I think i played more genises because of games like Streets of Rage 1-3 and Sonic.

Although i did play alot of NBA Hangtime on SNES and alot of Final Fantasy 2 and Zelda ALttP. I didnt really have many genises games but everytime i rented a game it would be for the genises instead of the snes. Genises had better fighting games.

[Skywalker84]

Snes was better. Anyone ever play The Simpsons: Bart's Nightmare?

[D3adcell]

Only at your house like 50,000 times when you borrowed your cousins snes.

[SpItZ]

Sega Genesis no doubt about it.

I could play Mega Collection, or I can play it for real on the Genesis. :smoke:

[HPK]

Genesis, mostly because I didn't own a SNES and never really got into it when I played it at my friends'.

[Sarcasm]

SNES.

Better games, better memories, didn't hang-up when you moved it an inch, and a more magical expirience.
