Sega CD is my second answer, but that's personal bias speaking.

What sounds better?

I honestly won't believe anyone who picks the Genesis.

Optical disc-based consoles all lack identity,

SNES is still the king.

>>378703389
They both sound like ass, but SNES sounds like a bad MIDI.

>Optical disc-based consoles all lack identity,
But what about the *INSERT ROCK GENRE HERE* music that dominates the Sega CD and PC Engine games?

>>378703931
Truly the Vita of its time.

Wait, no, PCE had some good games.

People who grew up with the NES and SNES will say it had better music while the people that grew up with the Genesis/Mega Drive will say it had better music.
It's all a bout of nostalgia.

I think he meant that when you hear a track from a Genesis game, you can tell it's a Genesis game, same with SNES, MS, TG16, ect. But the advent of CD quality audio meant developers had infinitely more creative freedom as opposed to being restricted by the technical limitations of the system they're working on.

>>378704121
Fair enough.
When considering that, I tend to think that consoles like the C64 are most impressive in that regard (as seen in my post).

>>378704063
Nah, I can admit the SNES had the best music overall, especially since western games didn't all sound like ass thanks to a shitty driver or whatever, but some music genres are simply unbeatable when done right on the Mega Drive. On Model 1, that is.

>>378702292
>posts model 2 instead of model 1

>>378702292
SNES, Genesis has a godawful sound chip.

The only people who owned the PCE were hardcore weeaboos/wapanese who forced themselves to learn Japanese so they could whack off to 8bit anime girls

The Playstation was hands down the best CD player for music

Both the Genesis and the SNES had the capacities to create some awe inspiring music, but most if not all of the actual good music came from Japan where they had the better sound making programs.
Most other places like Europe and America made games that had music that sounded like farty garbage most of the time.

>>378702292
The Genesis has six mono FM synthesis channels and a crude 8-bit DAC that can barely squeeze out 11khz samples. The SNES has 8 channels of 16-bit PCM capable of producing 7.1 Dolby Surround sound at CD quality. If only more developers knew of the SNES' true power instead of just using MIDI shit.

I know how it feels to be addicted to plastic and metal.

I mostly associate PC Engine with some of the generation's greatest shmups. I couldn't care less about the weeb shit on it.

Most of those games surprisingly have GOAT soundtracks

PC-Engine games have great OSTs. PC-Engine CD games have even better ones.

>>378703931
Some really good boxarts there (the two Macross games for example).

Genesis sounds mediocre but it at least has the right tempo and the drumbeat carries it. The SNES one has better sound technically but just sounds lethargic in comparison

>>378702292

The Mega Drive has the sound of the 80's and early 90's built in.
No wonder they got MJ to do sanic music

>exploring the aesthetics of the YM2612 sound chip’s FM synthesis
>To use the sounds, YM2612 patches were converted via a python script into Yamaha DX7 SYX files
>The album aims to evoke the postmodern aesthetic of the early to mid 90s through reverse emulation
>The YM2612 is basically a stripped down Yamaha DX7, and the music produced for the YM2612 (Sega™ Genesis) chip emulated the sometimes outdated sounds of New Jack Swing, R&B, Pop, Hip-Hop, Techno, and commercial Muzak

I've been waiting years for someone to do something like this
