I liked both. But, the Gensis beat the SNES to death, until after it was long gone. The SNES kept playing catch up to the Genesis. I loved them both though. The SNES had Mario/Metroid/Zelda/ and such.

The Genesis had Konami/Sonic/EA/ and others.

And damnit MM. You had to mention Donkey Kong didn\'t ya? I hated those games, after the first one. :mad:

genesis had sonic, and theres two people in this world, people that loved mario, or people that loved sonic.  mario was just too slow for me.  NOONE like jumping puzzles.

the SNES lasted longer cause

1.nintendo didnt abandon it
2.it was a kiddie system

i see you brought EA into the mix.  wanna throw up madden 92 on either system and lie to me that the SNES was better?

Um are you 100% sure that the Genesis best the SNES? I was almost 100% sure that Nintendo was the only company to win two straight generations in a row(NES,SNES).Can you please confirm it?

key word "almost"

ill give the big "N" the nes over the master system, barely

but the SNES over the genesis, hell no.

u have to convince ME that the SNES won, not the other way around.

look into my flag and see why :)

Well I always thought Sonic was a cheap rehash of Mario,and a bad one gameplay wise.I thought Mario was more unique,more innavative and challenging,while Sonic was jump over this and run through that.

NOONE like jumping puzzles?Well that would explain why most Mario games always seem to out-sell Sonic games...

1.Sega didn\'t abandon the Genesis either,they just made add-ons for it,and we all know how they turned out.FAILURES.

2.What does being kiddie(which I disagree with)have anything to due with this?

Ok I admit there.But...would you lie and say Street Fighter2 was better on Genesis?

Well,what would you define as a "win".Are you judging from a gameplay stand point,or the traditional "most units sold" stand point?Since I can\'t argue with your opinions then I cannot convince you,but I don\'t know for sure how many they sold overall,so I guess I\'m in a bind here.Unless of course you know for sure which system sold more.

sigh, i failed to realize you wanted a challenge in this OR you would not be picking apart my posts piece by piece.


yeah sonic was a ripoff of mario.  they just didnt add in incredible screen movment, better sound, better texturing, did i mention the speed?  so basically, sonic = mario on CRANK!


yes addons, are bad.  BUT the playstation WAS going to be the SNES addon, what happened there?  

kiddie consoles sell well.  they targeted the NUMBER ONE gaming demographic back then, KIDS!.  why do u think the PSX did so well?  cause the big "N" is STILL targeting KIDS!

hell yeah, i would say SSF rocked WAY more on the genesis, ANY hardcore fighting gamer would agree.  the SNES was mathmatically a better system.  it displayed MORE colors at a higher resolution  [4x\'s].  did this mean much?  apparantly not.
thanks for playing...

I think it looks kinda weird but every site says that it is really good

I hope it wont be as bad as the N64 or DC one

It looks like a slight rip off of a PS controller, in a bad way, ya know?

Hey,I can\'t argue with YOUR opinion,but you have to realize that every Mario game out-sold every Sonic game(please don\'t bring Mario Through Time up :().Obviously,people must of thought Mario was a good game,they always sold big.Beter sound?I thought it was kind of annoying...

I don\'t think anyone here would complain on that one.If it wasn\'t for one person srewing the other,we wouldn\'t of saw the PS2.But then again I wouldn\'t have had to buy another console to get the games I wanted...

Well it just shows how unintelligent Sega was not realizing the number one source of gamers back then.But I beg to differ about Nintendo STILL being kiddie...

hell yeah, i would say SSF rocked WAY more on the genesis, ANY hardcore fighting gamer would agree. did i ever mention the superior sound channels on the genesis over the SNES? i guess now would be a good time

Well thats a shocker im my book.Rescently I played that game on Genesis and thought it flat out sucked.The controls were terrible,the graphics and sound were identical to the SNES game,did I mention the controls?I thought it was the control setup that ruined it,the SNES version of SF was simpler and easier to understand.And controls do affect gameplay,and since the Genesis SF had horrible controls I deemed it crappy compared to the SNES SF.

thanks for playing...

No problem.:)

yes, i wonder why the mario games "might have" [no statistical proof] sold more than sonic games. the parents bought what the children wanted, so us teens were left do what we could to buy the games we loved.

sega has ALWAYS been a innovator in the console world.  nintendo waits and copies.  thats been thier stratedgy since day one.

the controls were terrible on the genesis verion u say, since u just played it. [coincidence?]  did u use the 3 button OR the 6 button pad?  or would u prefer using the SNES shoulder buttons for moves?

how could the control be screwed up?  how many COUNTLESS fighting games have used...

lk/mk/hk
lp/mp/hp


maybe just ALL THE CLASSICS!

this is pointless man, no need to fight with me about the 16 bit console war.  i was there.  out of cusiosity, how old are you?  this may alleviate certain questions and doubts i have

MM you are a retard. The SNES a kiddie system? What an absolute load of crap. Even still each to his own opinions, neither of you seem to point it out.

The SNES was a kiddy system, but bosted MASSIVE 3rd party support (much like PSX\'s today) It evolved from a kiddy system, to a system with lots of mature system, that was a good one to get. I had both a  Genesis and a SNES, and I believe the SNES had better graphics. Especially when Miyamoto began expierimenting with polygons (star fox)

yes, the SNES was a superior machine technologically speaking.  mode7 graphics like rotation and scaling [big words for rammstein] allowed games to look slightly better, albeit at a price.  a HEFTY price
