SNES vs Sega Genesis/Mega Drive [poll added]

Type Super Nintendo into google, see how many search results you get.

Now do the same for Sega Genisis.

There you go, google isnt just english sites, thats pretty worldwide. There is nothing else I can do...

you do know that the sega genesis was called mega drive in the rest of the world right?

It is still very telling. Europe doesn't have access to youtube, or a similar type of site?

Heirren

it does, though as I stated before, each european country has it's own youtube and I'm not entirely certain just how popular speedruns are outside the US and Japan

But what does that say about each respected system?

that one was popular in the US and Japan and the other was popular in Europe and south America

as for the number, yes, it is more, then again that could be due to personal preference, then anything else

I feel sorry for anyone argueing with a guy whose name has the word "nut," in it. His argument was completely fallacious. Look the Genesis has a more speed, it was made to play arcade-like games. I think the Genesis attracted far more creative developers, games like MUSHA, Earthworm Jim, and Toejam & Earl were all on the Genesis. Yes Earthwrom Jim was ported the SNES, which I tried, and it was fail. One thing I notice is the Genesis had a more mature sound to its game, or lower tone, the Super Nintendo was more childish in its sound board.

By this "nut's" opinions, sheep are stronger animals than lions because there are more sheep. WELL I HAVE NEWS FOR YOU!!!! The Sega Genesis is the lion, and the Super Nintendo is the sheep. All Nintendo had to do is just release another console and there would be a nice bandwagon following. The Sega Genesis did not have a herd already pasturised, etc. They had to go from the mild popular Master system, though argueably because the Nes was definately better than that Master System.

Btw, I had both systems, but I ultimately am more attracted to the Genesis games after playing both systems extensively, it did not stop me from liking one over the other. You can not have two masters.:P I played and beat many Snes games, they were awesome, its just I always feel after beating a Super Nintendo game, that I really felt no need to play it any more. I actually think making the games longer actual had that effect, Genesis games were short and sweet, like arcade games always were.

The Genesis doesn't actually have "more speed". The whole idea of the "Blast Processing" (which I'm assuming is why you think the Genesis has more speed) was nothng more than a marketing word. There's no such thing as Blast Processing. Also the sound board for the SNES is actually superior to the Genesis' soundboard. I can see someone preferring the sound on a Genesis, though. I didn't. There are exceptions, but a lot of games sounded very similar sounding on the Genesis, IMO. And I have to ask, how is Earthworm Jim on the SNES a fail? You don't like sharper graphics?

However I can agree that the Genesis did seem to attract more creative game developers. I remember the early Electronic Arts games, in particular, standing out with creative outings like Jungle Strike and Road Rash, as well as many of Sega's own first-party titles.

Personally, I think it's worth owning both systems. The SNES and the Genesis are 2 of the greatest and most reliable consoles ever made. They're also cheap and easy to find and collect for.

Actually the Genesis had a faster processor, that is why sport games played smoother on the Genesis. The Super Nintendo technically had superior sound (it did), but the way it was applied was more children oriented. My point is the Genesis had a more adult tone, play TMNT on both consoles and you will see what I mean. I bouht Earthworm Jim on the SNES and it felt sluggish, I payed more for the SNES game, I immediately wanted to go back to the Genesis. At that point, I understood why Earthworm Jim was crappy on a SNES emulator. Yes they are both worth owning, I should know, I did. Though in the end you will end up liking one more, and in my life of having tons of games, and someone wanting my games, I will get rid of the one that I feel I already got my fair share of gaming on. I even replaced the SNES batteries with games like Donkey Kong, Super Mario World, Super Punchout, and the Mario All Stars.

/\ Earthworm Jim is better on Genesis/\

^Thank you. The part that sucks about comparing these two is they were not really on equal footing, I feel the developers as a whole did not really push the Genesis until it was starting to die. Think about Vectorman. The Genesis kind of died. Five year console generation >_>. By the time developers learned to maximize the system potential, there was something else coming (32X).

edit: Why the hell am I putting so much thought into this. XD Oh well, I am bored perhaps.

The most advanced snes games demolish the genesis though. All the Disney games were also better on the genesis.

The Genesis had a faster CPU by a moderate amount, and the SNES had quite a bit better video processor. Of course SNES games just ended up looking better anyway you look at it, so it doesn't really matter.

As for the child oriented tone, I don't see it at all. More then anything, it's just a popular misconception.

SNES sound chip was more "childish" ? Now I have heard everything :lol:

SNES had easily better graphics than MD/Genesis because it had a larger color palette and hardware support for scaling/rotation effects (i.e. "Mode 7") as well as a more advanced sound chip. The only thing the MD had over it was a faster main processor but that could be compensated with add-on chips on the SNES (such as DSP, SA-1, Super FX, ect.). As far as arcade games go - the TG-16 ports of Afterburner, OutRun and Space Harrier are actually better than the MD ones altho it's a little older system and generally seen as less capable. And I'm pretty sure SNES got it's fair share of "creative" games as well.

I think I know what he is referring to. The very first model had a crispness to the audio. Perhaps the output frequency was a little bit higher, i don't know.

Also, you say easily better graphics, but then there are cases like Earthworm Jim, Aladdin, Lion King, and just about all of those "animated" type games. Someone else pointed out the EA games running smoother, and that is also true for the most part.

Gotta go with the Mega Drive. There are a ton of hidden gems there that i love, much more so than on the SNES.

Most of the games i've tried run smoother, especially shoot 'em ups which are a pleasure on the eye due to them being very fluid. SNES had better graphics and worse speed, wile the Genesis had worse graphics and better speed, that's how i've always seen it.

Yeah I don't think I'd say most. As far as audio/visuals, the top snes games were leagues better than that of the genesis. I swear that first batch of genesis titles, Golden Axe for example, barely felt like a step up from the 8bit games. Contrast that with Super Mario World--that game was a release title and is better than anything on genesis.

Heirren

To each their own, i believe a lot of Genesis titles are far better than what's on the SNES, Super Mario World included (though Super Mario World 2 is infinitely better, and is the greatest 2D platformer on Earth).

I have both systems with a large collection to my choice's pleasure either way, and i often pick a title to play for a couple of hours wen i find some free time. The backlog i have on those systems is gigantic, given that i never played them before in their time.

Show me anything on an 8-bit system that looks close to it.

You could look at the Master System and PC-ENGINE CD versions of the game to begin with. And those came out later, if I remember correctly.

If you think the MD wasn't a step up even in 1988 then you have a pretty messed up memory of how 8-bit games looked.

The Super Famicom came out years later. MD graphics also improved then.

My argument was that a number of initial genesis games barely looked better than NES. Golden Axe, when played on an actual genesis, is a rather atrocious game in every respect. Sound, Video, and animation are very lackluster. I posted a video a few posts back showing an NES game--yes, not as good looking, but with better animation. I am in no way saying that the NES produced visuals better than that of the genesis. It was a means to compare it[genesis] to the SNES. The snes never really had this problem--the launch games still look great.

Your point was ridiculous to begin with. And these type of comparisons are unfair for both systems.

The Mega Drive looked and sounded generation above what the 8-bit systems had to offer at that time. And those times were still the 80s.

The Super Famicom first-gen games had better graphics? Oh really? They damned better had since the system came out two years later in late 1990. By that time MD quality had also improved.

I don't know if you were around in the 80s or not, but your delusional if you think the MD wasn't regarded as a remarkable step into the new 16-bit realm back then.

I wish there was a "both" option. I would have voted both, since I love both systems. But since I didn't have a choice, I chose SNES because if for some weird reason I was forced to choose one or the other I would choose SNES because of 4 games I just couldn't live without: Super Mario World, Super Metroid, X-Men: Mutant Apocalypse, and Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past.
