SNES

[atsonicpark]

Super Nintendo had a handful of the greatest games of all time.

Genesis has like 400 REALLY GOOD games...

That's the difference.

Zelda is extremely overrated; I'd much rather play Beyond Oasis. Yoshi's Island is EXTREMELY overrated; i'd much rather play many, many Genesis platformers.

On the other hand, the original poster said Super Metroid is "boring as fuck". I'd take that game over ANY Genesis game...

So, I guess, both systems rule. Let's leave it at that. I prefer Genesis, obviously, but there are many great SNES games that no one seems to talk about..

Same for me,i even owned a snes with metriod etc,it fargin ruled.But exually the snes sisnt a graphic monster.etchnically Gunstar boasts Mario world 2 away.I go with genesis,and the snes rulezz to. Even my brother(Die hard Ninfanboy)gives me right that the so called weaker genesis is just way better then snes in many points,i really thinks its about taste and the genres availeble for each system.Megadrive NR1 and snes NR2 in my oppinion

when I was a kid the only real reason we debated over it.. me and my friends, was because we could only afford one over the other and well you didn't want to look like a schmuck for having the crappier of the two. It's not like an 8-10 year old had unlimited funds... especially when their mums were on welfare. I was lucky I had a videogame system. Shit... I had my genny/SegaCD combo up until AFTER the saturn died.... never got a PSX either. I finally upgraded just a bit before Sonic Adventure 2 came out (I got the DC Sonic Anniversary pack) It wasn't till then that I made enough money from my jobs to afford it. Before then I worked so little I could hardly afford my clothes and lunch at school (oh and the drugs... can't forget that!)

So you made reasons for why yours was better... I guess some people can't get over it.

Both systems can be had for 5 bucks now a days... stop crying.

But....but Mario was fat and slow! Sonic had 'tude!

Mario was Chubby indeed and never lost weight aldo he was running and stuff,Ooh yeah snes wasnt that fast.But Lordofduct,druggs are bbadd and expensiv,i only do drugs when im drunk,I dont care why you started drugs,but itl shure have its reasons for it.Did you quit drugs,because then you would save yourself a whole lot of money,i can imagine how hard quiting is but is the good way.Im more drunk then drugged,and i like the funny effect evrything is turning around,really gets my boost.

I'd take Contra Hard Corps over Gunstar Heroes.

I take Gunstar heroes over any contra except contra hard corps,Contra 3 vs gunstar,Gunstar has way way more action in screen and better music,Themes are better and a lush of animation.Contra hard corps sets its convidential attidtude ,Hard core,Gore,Hard guitar,provit of better guitar samples then any contra(classic contra)i think Gunstar and contra HC are almost on the same level in quality,But since contra HC is the best of the whole series and gunstar is a show off in Graphics and colour,I choose Cntra HC with 0,25 pionts over Gunstar.here in Holland Contra (probotecor)3 was negleckted even the special Mode 7 technics,Most people here see it as a Non animated and stiff game with Damn boring music and a Bit of a Fum lack<in my oppinion i really agree,it looked almost like i was playing a graphic updated version of one of the nes contra,s,and those mode 7 levels look kinda boring and slow,A thats what contra 3 repressents a bit slowness,I like ever contra on nes and hard corps,i got bored by contra 3 within 3 min,even my brother,the hard core Ninfanboy defnitly agreed with me and als agreed that megadrive got the provit with contra hard corps.

16bitter Dk 3 is way better then 2,It lets you enjoy guitr music in one level,Hear me guitar on snes that sound memorable and just plain damn good for a snes,Not megadrive but jsut good and tight,Pitched.BTW snes could do nice guitar samples for shure,not much but in some games like rock and roll racing,over top rally the guitar synth sound just nice aldo Rock and roll racing on snes sounds better then the MD version.

As I said earlier, I don't know if I prefer either overall.

The Genesis feels, as far as general challenge and gameplay paradigm/parameters, oddly more closely aligned as the NES's successor than the SNES. By that I mean that more often the challenge and need to beat a game on the Genesis was of higher value than the SNES -- like the NES, the Genesis had many games where "quality" seemed less important to me than beating the game; which I suppose is a mark of quality itself.

In that same line of thought, the Genesis tended to have games of higher difficulty, IMO. Many SNES sequels to classic NES games, on the other hand, feel watered down as far as challenge.

Aaah no Fanboyism snes was great,it had its Pro,s I played nes allot maybe that made me play genesis allot because genesis feels more like a new nes to me because back then the graphics and sound werent great on genny but the feeling was grea,same with nes.I think nes is better then snes weird tought but my uppinion.

Super Aleste is great

[j_factor]

Super Aleste sucks. The only decent SNES shooters are Axelay, Space Megaforce, and UN Squadron.

[GeckoYamori]

I assume you left out R-Type 3 cause it's more than decent.

[j_factor]

No, I left out R-Type 3 because it's terrible.
