the only console war that ever mattered

As much as I love nintendo, I slightly liked the Genesis better. Had a cooler name and the black was cool.Logo too. Nintendo had them beat when it came to their franchise games, but games that were on both consoles were superior on Genesis IMO. Better music,graphics.



still love SNES, But I'm gonna go with this:

Im sorry but the turbografx wins by a long shot. But between the two its super nintendo. All those awesome final fantasy games just can't be beat by anything the genisis brought to the table. Nintendo had that deep emotional level of investment.
 
Damn... This is gonna be a draw for me but, i think that the genesis wins by a tiny hair. ;)

BLAST PROCESSING FTW
 
You gotta get the six-button controller. That three-button controller was useless.

I have owned both systems at one point in my life, but the first one I got was a Genesis for Christmas in 3rd grade, so if I had to pick one I'd go with it.
 
SNES, all the way baby! I have a copy of Shaq Fu and everything. Speaking of, I want to go play it.
 
I had a Genesis because it came out first. It beat Nintendo by over a year. Nintendo denied they were even brining a 16-bit console to the states and I couldn't wait, so I got a Genesis.

As soon as the SNES came out, I regretted it. Super Mario World and F-Zero were launch titles and both completely obliterated anything the Genesis would ever do. When Super Metroid came out, it was completely over.

Genesis just didn't have the horsepower. It couldn't display nearly as many colors, but more importantly, its sound processor was incredibly inferior. I remember that even though the SNES version of MK was censored and controlled horribly, I still preferred it to the Genesis version because the colors were correct, it had more frames of animation, the voices weren't muffled, and the music was at least the same tune as the arcade (the Genesis version rewrote the music entirely, and never even made a dramatic sound when you did a fatality).

For me, all these little touches and attention to detail were what made games. Things were just slung on the Genesis, but the SNES had the power to add those little touches that just made the games a lot more fun. At least to me.

I own a six button controller, but I got it at a pawn shop many years after I first got my Genesis. I Dont have a problem with the 3 button ones. They were fine with me

Earthworm Jim is a classic, but DKC2 is immortal.

Earthworm jim was on both consoles actually, but like I mentioned before, I liked the Genesis versions of both console games better.
I still to this day have a hard time deciding if DK Country or Earthworm jim is better. Platformer games at their best

Lol, there was nothing shitty about them. Find me a better dpad, even today a dpad like that hasn't been replicated.

The Dpad on both types were webbed, they sucked monkey genitalia. I guess you got used to them I never could except playing Sonic 2&3 and even then the edges of the Dpad were so sharp they would leave dents in my thumb.

that's good pain right there. Proves you're a man.

kidding, and I never had a problem with it at all. I liked how the Dpad was designed. It felt like you were actually pressing it more and felt satisfying




If theres any controller that made you sore, It was the N64 stick on the Spinning Mini games in Mario Party.
 
I never had the SNES but the Genesis was awesome. I remember playing all the good Sonic games, Street Fighter, and Ghouls and Ghosts all the time.
 
Because of Out of this world, Super Mario World, MK 2, Killer Instinct, Contra Alien Wars, and arguably the best game ever, Super Metroid, Imma say SNES
