FRIENDLY REMINDER THAT GENESIS IS SUPERIOR TO SNES

>>379091556
Contra Hard Corps>Gunstar Heroes

It's hard for me to make a comparison. I had both growing up. I do however know for a fact that the Genesis version of Aladdin was better and people who say otherwise are fucking retarded.

>>379091556
What about Chrono trigger, Yoshi's Island, DK country, Secret of Mana, Mario RPG, Zelda AlttP? Pfffttthahahahahahhaa

>>379091556
No Mario though

>>379093521
Don't forget super metroid.

>>379093521

Chrono Trigger was one I got to play over a decade after it came out. It easily held up to the modern games at the time. I can't think of a game on the Genesis that equals it in the genre. The SNES was definitely the console for RPGs.

so silly

It was more than 20 years ago, get over it.

Genesis is obviously a 10/10 but the SNES is the greatest system of all time and only trailer park trash sega kids who never had a snes would argue otherwise.

>>379091556
I only disagree regarding to FF, Final Fight and Mario.

How difficult is it to play Japanese Mega Drive games on an American Genesis system? With the SNES I can just cut out the tabs (and I have) but from what I understand there's more to it with the Genesis. I'm also thinking about getting a Sega CD sometime but I don't know about playing Japanese games on that either.

Zombies Ate My Neighbors Genesis version is better than the SNES one too

But I wouldn't dare to say that Sonic is better than Mario, and that's coming from a guy that doen't even like Mario games. I'm more of a Donkey Kong guy

It's ok, you can tell us. You're in a safe space now.

>Ristar is better than Kirby
Let's not get too crazy, OP.

>Aladdin on Genesis is better than Aladdin on SNES
They're completely different games.

>>379093521
What about Yoshi's Island and the DKC games?

>>379094467
You have to solder switches so not that straightforward although that's only for region protected games, earlier ones are regione free. Also get a passthrough cart, don't cut tour genesis.

Sega CD games look for the BIOS, which you can soft-patch with a flash cart.

>>379095113
SNES has the best platformers, best beat em ups and best shumps though. There is no debate.

Gunstar and Mario are the only good games you listed

>>379091556
>sonic is better than mario

Cool. I'll have to look into those. I'm glad the way for Sega CD is easier, I've been interested in checking out the SMT1 port. Also the Japanese version of Popful Mail, while still a bit pricey, is way way cheaper than an American copy.

There are plenty of good games on Genesis and SNES

just not those

>>379096586

That box is so 90s it hurts.

>>379096468
Be wary, I just reminded some games like Snatcher may crap out with softmodded BIOS, look for a list before investing.

nice bait

>>379097078

That sucks, thanks for letting me know.

>>379091556
Also
Genesis electronic 'bassy' music > snes "wannabe real instruments" music

>>379096586
Box is retarded, PAL Megadrive and Genesis games share the the same slot. It's only purely for Japanese carts.

>>379093412
Genesis version had an awful camera with simple 'hit enemies with a sword to win' thing
Snes version had sickass acrobatics, ledge hanging, capcom soundchip and level design that rewarded going fast
I like both both SNES version is Capcom and Genesis is Virgin games, and it shows.

>>379091556
>blast processing

Can someone explain this? I thought it was just a marketing meme

>>379099764
it's some hardware feature that allows faster scrolling. apparently a game like sonic where you go really fucking fast through a stage wouldn't have been possible without it, and SNES hardware wasn't capable of it.

then sega marketing dept heard about it and thought the term would sound cool in an ad.

>>379091556
>Sonic is better than Mario

Even the creator of Sonic admits the games aren't as good. It's hard to incorporate Sonic's speed into good level design. They did there best but it will never feel quite as good as most Mario games.

>Streets of Rage is better than Final Fight

Yeah.

>Phantasy Star is better than Final Fantasy

Only one of Best Phantasy Star games was even on the Genesis whereas two of the best Final Fantasies were on the SNES. If this was a NES vs Master System thread Phantasy Star would win easily there. It's also misleading as JRPG wise the SNES was king beyond just Final Fantasy.

>Ristar is better than Kirby

Yeah but Kirby was meant to be an entry level platformer for people who thought Mario was too intimidating. This is kind of like comparing a tutorial against a main game.

>Gunstar Heroes is better than Contra

I agree but it's a pretty close race.

>Castlevania Bloodlines is better than Super Castlevania 4

Debatable, I could go either way depending on the day. Castlevania 4 is a much more fine tuned game but it doesn;t really break the mold otherwise. Bloodlines has a lot more creativity/things you wont see anywhere else in the series but the genesis controller works against the game in some areas. They both missed out the on the definitive best Castlevania of the generation Rondo of Blood.

>Aladdin on Genesis is better than Aladdin on SNES

Yeah but neither game was an absolute classic.

OP must have been poor and didn't have both and also a TurboGrafx-16.

>>379100459
Bad Bait.

It's honestly nothing. It's like adding Gourmet on Dollar Store food.

>>379099764
It's just the marketing term for "the genesis is a couple megahertz faster".

>>379091556
>Sonic is better than Mario
Not really. Running right gets boring after the first game
>Streets of Rage is better than Final Fight
Yes it is.
>Phantasy Star is better than Final Fantasy
Nope. 2/3 top any PS or Starocean
>Ristar is better than Kirby
Blatant lie.
>Gunstar Heroes is better than Contra
Agreed
>Castlevania Bloodlines is better than Super Castlevania 4
Agreed except for music.
>Aladdin on Genesis is better than Aladdin on SNES
Thats a proven fact, whats your point?
>Genesis got blast processing
>Does what Nintendon't

I'd say they're about equal.

>>379096050

you say that, yet there are no games that scroll as fast as Sonic 2 on the SNES

MOM SAID I COULD PLAY GENESIS

>>379099764
The CPU on the Genesis was clocked higher than the SNES, so the marketing department came up with a buzzword for it.

I absolutely despise everything nintendo ever did, from the its inception and the worst games and characters in history, fucking mario that zelda faggot and donkey kong, to the shit their doing now
only thing they ever got half way right was twin snakes, which is a port from a superior system
fuck nintendo, spitting at the ceiling and watching it drip is more entertaining

>>379103498
>liking twin snakes

If anything that's one of the things Nintendo DIDN'T do right.

>>379102628
It's a shame that their marketing was such a pile in the USA, though the anti-competitive measures by Nintendo didn't do them a favor either.

>>379091556
Donkey kong is better than all of those

so is Megaman X

Final fantasy 6

LTTP

Super Metroid

i could go on and on

>>379091556
>Sonic is better than Mario
No.

>Streets of Rage is better than Final Fight
Yes.

>Phantasy Star is better than Final Fantasy
No.

No.

>Gunstar Heroes is better than Contra
No.

>Castlevania Bloodlines is better than Super Castlevania 4
No.

>Aladdin on Genesis is better than Aladdin on SNES
Yes.

>Genesis got blast processing
Mode 7 is superior.

Dracula X is superior to Bloodlines.

With that said, I've recently started collecting for Genesis having never owned a Sega console before, and I actually do like it a lot better than SNES. Shining Force is my fucking jam.

>>379104449
You mean Rondo of Blood? Because Dracula X on SNES is just average.

>mfw Chrono Trigger Exists, thus your argument is invalid

>>379104551

Still the best Castlevania on either system.

>>379104685
So wrong its not even funny,Dracula X is the worst 16bit Castlevania.

>>379104940

So wrong that it's actually quite funny. Bloodlines feels like those shitty GBA Castlevanias and IX is just too damn easy.
