SNES vs Sega Genesis/Mega Drive [poll added]

Which is your favorite and why?

the age old battle :P i remember being 12 and debating the superior merits of the snes. i personally was a snes fan, generally speaking the hardware was better, it put out more colors (with a wider range) the cpu was quicker, the sound was better, it could handle larger sprites. on top of that i found the games much better, there were a lot of close to perfect arcade ports and the exclusive list was insane. imo i thought the games played tighter and generally felt more responsive than genesis games.

all that being said, i concede that genesis does have some pretty fun games

z4twenny

actually the genesis CPU was better, and If i'm not mistaken the genesis could also handle larger sprites

And yes, I'm a genesis, it has an overall better library, though I will admit that RPG's are it's Aquiles Heel

When I was younger, I played more games on the SNES, but now that I've played through my backlogs for both systems, I love them both equally.

Only had a Mega Drive as a kid and I loved the crap out of it, now that I'm older and I have both I still prefer my Mega Drive. Maybe it's nostalgia, maybe it's the games, I've never been able to pinpoint why really.

I absolutely adore both systems. Two of the greatest systems EVER made. And the intensecompetition between Nintendo and Sega bred that greatness in those systems. Both have very solid hardware, and a great library of games.

Howeverif I was made to choose between them, I'd choose SNES simply because I prefer it's game library to Sega Genesis's game library. And most of the multiplatform games look and/or sound better than the Genesis versions.

The best way to compare systems, though, is to compare it's game libraries, which is what REALLY counts when comparing systems.

The SNES!

In my opinion it just has the best, cl*ssic, and timelessgames. I had an NES and I played cl*ssic games like Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, Castlevania, Metroid, Final Fantasy, Mega Man 2,Contra, and Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! to name a few. Finally getting a SNES I enjoyedgames like Super Mario World, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Super Castlevania IV, Super Metroid, Final Fantasy III, Contra III: The Alien Wars, Super Punch-Out!!, and Mega Man X. and these are experiences Iwill never forget.Plus, there are so many more cl*ssic and timeless games in the SNES library:Chrono Trigger, Demon's Crest, Donkey Kong Country, Earthbound, F-Zero, Final Fight, Ninja Gaiden Trilogy, Pilotwings, Secret of Mana, Super Mario Kart,Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, and Zombies AteMy Neighbors.

I have a lot of love for the Sega Genesis too (I owned both the SG and the SNES at the time) so it was the best of both worlds. It's a great system with a lot of great games too.

they are both absolutely fantastic and it's almost impossible to make a choice. the rpg's made snes better but genesis had sonic and great shooters like musha and thunder force (4) some very creative games like ecco and the arcade games liek golden axe which I always loved and also love streets of rage games

this isnt system wars.

this isnt system wars.

Talldude80

Actually it is. Legacy systems aren't covered in System Wars so such threads can be made here.

Both great systems, but going back and playing these from time to time I feel the SNES games hold up a lot better. In fact, a lot of the classics on the snes are even better than games being released today.

Its a tough call for me; I think the Genesis had the better game library overall, but I'm almost exclusively an RPG gamer, so for me, the SNES was the pick.

That said, with retro RPG titles like "Pier Solar", "The Beggar Prince", "Legend of Wukong" and "Star Odyssey" showing up on the Genesis lately, its been getting my attention again.

The SNES had Earthbound, so that takes my vote.

I loved both but with the line up the SNES had you can't beat it.

cant understand how ppl like snes

the same games over and over

SNES. Genesis has some pretty fun games too (Sonic, Golden Axe, Phantasy Star, Streets od Rage etc.) but I just love the SNES because there is so much variety in the games as well as so many great ones.

Awesum games for SNES:

Mega Man X 1,2,3

Super Mario World 1,2

DKC 1,2,3

Chrono Trigger

TMNTIV: Turtles in Time

Super Castlevania IV

Super Metroid

Zelda: ALttP

Star Fox

Street Fighter II

the list goes on.......

The first modern Console war. Nintendo won with 49.10-49.5 Million SNES sold. Sega Genesis 36-39 Million sold. (Numbers vary depending on source)

Sega had 3 versions of the Sega Genesis. 1,2,3 While Nintendo had 2 (in North America) SNES 1 & 2. The second was closer to the PAL and Japaness SNES in size.

SEGA actually had the #1 console for a time. But Nintendo managed a come from behind win after Sega had a 2 year head start.I had both systems and the 16 bit era is my favorite.

Two of my favorite game systems ever. It's almost criminal to pick one over the other. But if I am going to do it, I am going to choose the Sega Genesis. I had one growing up, so I was able to play a lot of its games when they were new. I didn't get a SNES until 1997, but I ended getting a sizeable. library of games for that one real quick. I still am amazed at how good games on these systems hold up. But my pick is the Genesis, just absolutely love Sonic the Hedgehog, Phantasy Star 2-4, Shining Force, Outrun, Golden Axe, Thunder Force 2 and 3, MUSHA, Castlevania Bloodlines, Gunstar Heroes, Super Hang On, Revenge of Shinobi, Shinobi 3, Aladdin, Streets of Rage 1-3, Mercs, Strider, Truxton, Contra Hard Corps. Make no mistake, I love the SNES. But the Genesis is my personal favorite. Totally see people preferring the SNES over the Genesis, and that is ok.:)

"The same games over and over" could apply to any popular gaming system where a game sets a standard in a particular genre and is soon followed by "me too" copycats. At the same time if games didn't sell, there wouldn't be sequels or other games coming out that were similar. First-party games and third party exclusives are the main reasons I like both systems - and tend to be the reasons I get any system.Stinger78

LOL. Bugs Bunny in Double Trouble, Crystal's Pony Tale, Dino Land, Fantastic Dizzy, Global Gladiators, Goofy's Hysterical History (shall I go on?) these are all Sega Genesis games.

Both systems had their fair share of kiddie games (some of them on BOTH systems). Is Contra III, Super Metroid, Chrono Trigger, Blackthorne, F-Zero, Mortal Kombat II, or U.N. Squadron childish? I don't think so. I LOVE the SNES (and the Sega Genesis) because each system has great video games. Enough said.

I don't know I might have to do some research on that one, but I'm going to say that both systems have their fair share of kiddie-type games (which isn't a bad thing because let's face it: little kids play video games too!) Yes, MK II is on the Sega Genesis as well, but the Contra games are different (Contra III being the best in the series in my opinion with the original and Shattered Solidier being a very close second). I think both systems have their fair share of mature games though.;)

wrong the snes was more powerful have a nice day ,

and as far as games goes snes definatelly is the better deal

lets list shall we starting with my original collection that im still currently rebuying 7 more needed to finish

1. top gear
2. super mario kart
3. mario all stars
4. zelda a link to past-gotta rebuy
5. ren and stimpy big buckaroos-gotta rebuy
6. sparkster-gotta rebuy
7. zombies ate my nieghbors-i own both versions of this gotta say snes is better
8. the lion king-same story as zombies the audio in gensis and graphics lol are that of a master system for that game
9. mario is missing-gotta rebuy
10. race drivin
11. top gear 2
12. top gear 3000 my personal favorite of the 3
13. rock and roll racing played the gba version as well as the genesis version id either get the gba or this one ,because the audio again just flat out is dead, also the colors are off on the gen version the reds and such are gone
14. off road the baja
15. atari greatest hits
16. super mario rpg
17. pac man 2
18. pac attack
19. stunt race fx
20. donkey kong country
21. donkey kong country 2
22. donkey kong country 3
23. full throttle american racing-its like those moto gp games as well as wave race without the bouys though , one mode is motorcycle the other is water craft i dont think genesis has this one either
24. paperboy 2 , the snes version is different then the gen , lol the gen is just the first one , with number 2 slapped on it its not even the same
25. doom
26. killer instinct
27. speed racer
28. micael andretti indicar challenge-gotta find another copy , but y a thats just my games i had as a child , i have rebought a snes as stated and now have almost 190 games total lol ,

so you tell me vs sonic 1 2 3 streets of rage 1 2 and 3 , plus the fact all genesis greatest games can be played on ps3 or xbox 360 or wii its almost not worth it to go through the trouble of finding all those games for some one who already has them on 360 ps3 ,

that said snes has more value then a genesis now any how

so snes wins by a mile

until you cAN NAME a system that is capable of playing rock n roll racing the 3 top gear games , oh boy we are just scratchin the surface aint we cause im missing lots of rpgs as i didnt play rpgs back in the day i just now got into those lol

wow we got oh the snes is for kids argument well back in the ninties im quite sure we all were kids,

so this should not be a suprise that snes has colorful but yet fun games ,

minus fighting games like killer instinct ballz3d brutal paws a fury 3 mortal kombats doom , really you fighting about which system is made for kids just give up already back then there were hardly any fps games to begin with ,

your lines of oh genesis has more mature games isa lie right through your teeth ,

even its mostviolent games -not counting multiplats of course like mortal kombat ,

streets of rage for one iscolor ful ,

dont tell me its not i ve played that on the genesis wii xbox360 game gearso ya its notshall we saylife like we didnt have many of those games back in the ninties in fact it wasnt til n64 era we saw games like goldeneye perfect darkhexen quake 1 and 2 , seriously and those were n64 games so that wouldguarantee any statment saying n64 was for just kids a lie

but ya snes genesis both had more colorful games then realistic ones because thegraphics were not advancedenough or the crowed at the time wasnt interisted as shown by doomsnes sales, it wasnt as successful as pc version whichat the time was fps market the pc ,

fps did not become popular until myfavorite game would then be released in1997 caLLED GOLDENEYE 007 so dont expect me to sit here and believegenesis was for a set crowd when it was not , they both did the same identical things , not much was different except genesis had sonicand such

and nintendo had mario

what gets me is if genesis was more better then the snes whythe heck isnt top gearor top gear 3000 available for it ,one should ask them selfs

2 of the best racing games oddly the 2nd entrywas on the genesis but i wonder what sacrafices it had ,maybe the crap audio again asdemonstrated inalmost any multiplat gen snes game

Most of my Genesis fanboy friends, today, will admit the snes is the better console. Soooo many classic games. Probably the most ever of any console.

The SNES version of MK2 shatters the Genesis 1 just like the Genesis Version of MK1 shatters the SNES version

The Contra games were different. The Castlevania games were different on both systems.

I do not know where you are getting this kid friendly care bare mentality from.

But out of those 2, the Genesis. Only one had the overall better Mortal Kombat games. Oh and those games where actually COMPLETE (talking to you capcom.Pegalamp

Well if you want a fair comparison of the MK games for both consoles, here it goes (will be long):

MK1 Genesis:

+ blood code

+ custom soundtrack (that's either a good or a bad thing)

+ higher res graphics

+ less laggy gameplay

- you need 6-button pad for complete control (holding the start button for block? Good joke.)

- overall worse graphics (low color count, worse animation)

- overall worse sound and a soundtrack that sounds nothing like the arcade one

- some minor missings

MK1 SNES:

+ better graphics and sound (much closer to arcade)

+ better control with default pad

- laggy, glithcy gameplay

- no blood, altered fatalities

MKII Genesis:

+ smoother gameplay

+ looks darker (that's either a good or a bad thing)

+ higher res

+ bigger character sprites

- much worse soundtrack and sound FX (you can't disagree with that, sorry)

- much less colorful graphics, missing background animations

- worse control with default pad

MKII SNES:

+ looks and sounds much closer to arcade (despite the "muffled" sound)

+ full controls with default pad

+ more blood and gore (yes you heard that right)

+ the soundtrack is even cooler than the arcade one in some cases (see intro music)

- character sprites aren't as detailed

- a little glitchy

MK3 Genesis:

+ better effort than MK1 and MKII (i.e. looks and sounds closer to arcade)

+ faster gameplay (either good or bad thing)

+ slightly higher res

+ perhaps a little better animation

- low color count and low quality sound

- gimped control with default pad

- missing some stuff

MK3 SNES:

+ looks and sounds the best

+ full control with default pad

+ normal speed

- PS1 version looks and sounds much better (but I included that just for fun)

So no, Genesis MKs weren't overall better. Infact the only reason why MK1 was better than the SNES one was because it had the blood code and wasn't so glitchy.

SNES MK1

+ Slightly Better Colour

+ Better Animation

+ Accurate Soundtrack

- Whilst more accurate, soundtrack is low quality

- Censorship

- Laggy Controls

- Missing Combos

- Dual projectiles not supported

- New exploits (Corner punch juggling)

- Buggy

- Low Resolution

Genesis MK1

+ Higher Resolution

+ More accurate gameplay

+ Responsive Controls

+ Gore

+ Custom programmed sound engine by Matt Furniss, with some of the highest quality audio on Genesis (not accurate to arcade though)

- Music is not arcade accurate

- Slightly Worse Colour

- Worse Animation

I agree with Nameless on this one. Mortal Kombat 1 is without a doubt better on Genesis. But all the sequels were better on SNES. SNES had better graphics and sound which made the game closer to the arcade versions. In fact, the SNES version of MK1 also had better graphics and sound, but the blood and violence really make a HUGE difference with a series like Mortal Kombat making the Genesis version better since the SNES version was neutered.

My most memorable experience was playing Streets of Rage 2 and 3 w/ my brother/cousin.

My second most memorable experience wasdying repeatedlyon Chemical PlantZone in Sonic 2:lol:

But I think SNES was better :P Magical Quest was anunderrated platformer.

MK 2 was way better on SNES. There was way more color. The SNES had Goro's lair for special fights while the genesis version only had a different colored version of the portal stage. The lines that Shao kahn has are in the SNES Version of the game. The genesis does not announce who won the match.

Mega Drive. Sega just seemed to be more popular where I was.

This is one of the very few system wars of which I like both equally. I would easily pick NES over Master System, Playstation over 64, PS2 over Xbox. However here both systems seem to have a bit of everything that I like. Now who's up for some bloody Mortal Kombat, followed by some spirited FFVI questing?

Nintendo for me super mario 3 was great when i was a kid

I have to say I liked SNES better back then but now I almost like Mega Drive better.

Chronic trigger is better than phantasy star. Sonic and knuckles is better than Yoshi's island.Kaszilla

lol, agreed. I like my Chronic Trigger a lot more, too.

Genesis, although many multiplat titles like Rock'n roll racing and Alien 3 looks better on the SNES.
