So /g/ what hardware was better for it's time the SNES(left)

>>61392629
iirc I liked the genesis for fast speed games, and blood in mortal kombat.
SNES had better audio, and video when it came out though.

SNES was overall better hardware while Genesis, aside from celery every so often, had it's areas that were better performing.

Some sound comparisons

Who cares, get both. That's what I did.

>>61392767
We are talking about hardware though not the games.

>>61392629
SNES was a much better experience.

Also the Genesis audio sounded like farts.

Motorola 68K vs. some-midclocked-zilog?
Who, I don't know?

And had Nindy thought little for the future, they've would have saved quite a few shekels by using 68000 instead of the highly expensive mappers.

Highly compressed PCM sounds? No thanks, I'll take modular any day of the week.

SNES hardware technically better
but megadrive hardware came out sooner
so kinda obvious OP even without looking at specs

Genesis had the better cpu but was lacking in graphics and sound

Snes had the better igpu and sound card but was bottlenecked by the slow cpu

Classic Intel VS AMD.

I rather write for the 68k
nothing personnel MOS

>SNES hardware technically better
How the hell so? Better CPU, better sound chip (but in the end, enormously better game library on the SFC).

What did SEGA mean by this design?

Is Nintendo even trying?

See, the thing is that SNES usually sounds average, and Genesis sometimes sounds great, then sometimes sounds fucking awful.

I miss when programmers had to actually try to make things work.

Now this is some serious jewing Nintendo.

Think again.

>>61393070
Pretty sure the MasterSystem was out in 1985. Wait a moment the SNES and NES used the same CPU but clocked higher? Wait really?

>>61392629
Sega had much stronger CPU, but SNES looked better in static screenshot due to broader 256 color palette plus translucency.

Genesis was really closer to a home arcade system, while SNES was simpler with a couple of novelty features that made it seem superficially stronger.

The Famicom came out in 1983. They waited a long time before taking it international because nobody knew if gaming would take off at the time, given the shit Atari and everybody was pulling. NES came to other regions in 1985 though
