Then and Now - Sega Genesis vs. Super Nintendo - page 4 - Games Discussion

Back in the day, if you were old enough and remembered, this was an all-out war between these two consoles. And, it did get a little nasty. I can still remember SEGA's commercial about how the genesis was the 'cool' console. It was a heated rivalry that seemed to mirror onto the people who played them. This is not an argument thread on what is better and why, but rather, a comparison of how you felt about the subject then, and how you feel now.For example:THEN: Super NintendoWhy? Christmas gift, aside from Sonic, Genesis never really did it for me. Controller felt awkward with the three button in a row configuration.NOW: Super NintendoWhy? I can name a whole lot more C-L-A-S-S-I-C (wtf is up with a forbidden html error? lol) titles on the SNES than I can with the Genesis.

Once again I gotta stick with the SNES. There's a reason why Sega is not making consoles anymore.

and it had nothing to do with SNES. In reality SEGA crushed Nintendo in the US during the SNES vs Genesis war.

True, but I wouldn't say crushed. More like took a lead for a few years.

according to this, the Genesis outsold SNES in North America and a few other regions http://segatastic.blogspot.com/2009/12/mega-drive-sales-figures-update.html . It appears SNES huge number is from Japan.

The snes is the superior system imo just had that bit more quality. We'd all agree they're both great systems. Im currently playing through Shining Force what a game!
