Poll SNES and Genesis outside nostalgia (65 votes)
--------
TL:DR version
Perhaps not just myself, but few others here too, might never owned either one of those two popular retro gaming machines. So I was wondering what are some of the good games on each that hold up well today (i.e. not just because of nostalgia) for people to try.
So let me know what was your favorite console of the two, and what top 3 fun games you'd recommend for it.

Here is a brief background of my experience with both consoles;
The first time I tried some SNES and Genesis retro titles I noticed the following:
1- A lot of the titles people recommended for me had excellent retro 2D graphics but weren't of good quality gameplay wise. So I assumed nostalgia played a role in their recommendations.
2- Even though most were telling me otherwise, but I noticed genesis experience overall seems to be more fun. Very responsive controls with faster and smoother gameplay (comparing multiplats of course).
3- SNES audio was far superior to Genesis.
4- Super Mario World is a game that is seriously ahead of its time back then. I really think it could easily get critical acclaim by modern standards if it was released today.
Anyway, let me know which of these two retro machines was your favorite, and what top 3 games you'd recommend for it.
