whatever. they've been on the losing side of the hardware-war since the sega master system came out

I don't know why people are mad at them for having their own lane

no they havent...SNES was better than anything out at the time..and anything that was better hardware wise was basically a gimmick that did horrible until the Playstation dropped...it's been a wrap for nintendo since then tho...

come on dude. I'm a Nintendo head, but lets not act like the Genesis didn't exist

Sega Genesis vs Super Nintendo | www.gamepilgrimage.com

It is demonstrable that the SNES could actually display 2-3 times the colors on screen, while the Genesis could display 2-3 times the sprites and independently scrolling 2D planes. The SNES also could scale and rotate one 256 color plane, which could be made to look like large objects such as Bowser in Super Mario World or the Bomber in the first level of Contra IV. Alternately, games on the Genesis typically ran with less slowdown, featured faster scrolling levels, "tilted" sprites and backgrounds, and featured more custom special effects like scaling backgrounds and fully polygonal gameplay without any cart loaded processors. The Genesis' software effects are best seen in Contra Hard Corp, Castlevania Bloodlines, Batman and Robin, Ranger X, Sonic 3D Blast's bonus levels, LHX Attack Chopper, and Red Zone, for starters.

:dead: @ arguing Genesis vs SNES specs

It basically came down to the marketing. SNES had more colorful epic adventure type games and multiplayer games. Genesis had the grimey, gritty, adult games and possibly the greatest game-soundtracks ever in history

N64 is when Nintendo really started to draw a line in the sand and market towards casuals and non-gamers ahead of die-hards

I don't think Nintendo changed their marketing, they just have lagged behind with the trends and by the time the Wii dropped they knew they could no longer compete with Sony or Microsoft head to head. The GameCube was depressing

I think it's clear they went their own way. they could have made the wii-u a powerhouse, but they didn't, because they don't need that for what they're trying to do

the ironic part is they went their own way, were very successful, and then sony and microsoft scrambled around to copy the tech :heh:

son...the variety of SNES games>>>Genesis...the quality of Snes games overall>>>Genesis...and that's real talk...there was a few games better on the Genesis than the Snes like Aladdin...but that was cause Genesis had the official Disney license and official artists to create it...plus Aladdin had a sword on the Genesis one...it was basically a completely different game from the ground up..The Lion King..different story..SNES>>>....but yea..Genesis had the first Mortal Kombat...but Snes learned from their mistake and crushed the buildings with MK2 with damn near a direct arcade port...Genesis COULD NOT pull that off...and let's not talk about the Street Fighter games...I had all the systems and I LOVED my Genesis and I had like a million games for both..but the quality was with the SNES overall..when it comes to graphics..sound...and games..Snes had the better selection..period...Genesis had a better CPU and a lil better rom in the lil systems but it couldnt help anything with it's small ass color palette of 512....vs Snes' 32,768.....

son..the Genesis was NOT superior to the SNES...Genesis can NEVER pull off the graphics and sound of Donkey Kong Country..NEVER in a million years...that shyt looked better than some Playstation games...

:snoop:

that game had pre-rendered 3D graphics. it was a revolutionary technique, but it had nothing to do with the snes hardware. it required a very advanced computer (for it's time) to render those frames

One way to tell which system had better graphics,
Play Mighty Morohin' Power Rangers The Movie.
The genisis is the superior system.

I'm still torn all these years between the snes and genesis. That was the tightest console race ever...both consoles were basically neck and neck until 94.

Slight edge to the genesis for me. Sports games, comix zone, Sega Sages, Aladdin, real deal boxing and sonic 2 were important in my young life growing up.

The snes had crazy heat too. Mario world, street fighter, mortal kombat, lion king, metroid, Mario kart, and the donkey Kong games

:whew: so much heat

son...or MAYBE it had to do with the TENS OF THOUSANDS of colors the super nintendo was able to produce vs the 512 colors of the Genesis...Snes had better sound as well...they were able to do more with music with Snes...only good thing about the Genesis sound is the voices were a lil more accurate than Snes...but when it came to sound and in game music and clarity...no contest...son I still play these games on both systems...
