Snes still makes my heart jump with adrenaline and make me feel 9 years old again whenever I see it, the controller, the logo, or the colors. I love this console so fucking much, whenever I think of video games this is the one in my minds eye.

Genesis is cool too, it reminds me of my cousins and games that were hard as shit

SNES is a superior system by leagues, especially in more complex games like sim games, and rpgs, but Genesis had a feel that was very much late 80s early 90s that nothing touched.

Genesis. Like others have already said, on paper SNES beats the Genesis, but the Genesis was dripping with soul. This was the case for every single console they made before they exited. You have no clue what I'd give for one more actual SEGA console. I want it bad enough that I'd actually consider buying a console again just for a legitimate SEGA console .

I find going back to Genesis games more fun. The ones I like at least. SNES is overall the better console but their games do not feel as easily pick up and play as the Genesis games. Also I enjoy the Genesis sound chip more than the SNES one. So when a game does sounds and music well on Genesis it is exceptionally good in comparison. This was a very overlooked feature by even Sega themselves at the time since they cheaped out like fucks with the later models.

Genesis games also tend to run better. SNES games can have a lot of slowdown. I would say that back then developers didn't even truly maximize what they could do with the Genesis. Lastly, Sonic 3&K was the best platformer of that era and probably the best 2D one of all time.

Genesis sound chip was better depending on the game. for example, Can't Wait to be King sounds better in Genesis Lion King because it has more oomph to it. the SNES version is too soft. the Sonic games are another example of what happens when that sound chip is put to work by people who know what they're doing.

also, the Genesis sound chip wiped the floor with SNES' when it came to rock and metal sounding tracks. Paranoid does sound better in genesis Rock n Roll Racing.

Due to the low sample rate all instruments sound the same on Genesis. Games don't have a distinct sound and all sound identical

>>713666834
What point do you think you are making? SNES vs Genesis was never about multiplats. Again where is the Genesis uniracers music

The music from the great SNES games is plainly more memorable and technologically better as well as having higher possible complexity and the ability to actually resolve different sounding instruments.

I think this is one of those things where some people lie because they want to take the unpopular side. Let me explain something to you. In 1993 if you had one system it was SNES if you were white.

That's really all that has to be said. Old timers understand the reality of the internet now. Of course you can't understand what sounds better you're from fucking pakistan

Some amazing games on this list but I would expect as much anyways from this console. I like your idea of a top 50 for each but usually I never think much on this. For me its usually a top 10 or 20 at most. Beyond that not sure if ranking even matters much. Seems like it becomes more like "50 games I really like" at opposed to an actually well thought out list properly ranked.

On a side note this is why I can't stand those retarded lists sites like IGN make. They feel so forced yet pushed as if its "official" in some way. And then the neckbeards here shitposting like its the objective list we all must bow down to.

i was saying that the genesis sound chip was pretty magical when given to the right people. Sparkster's OST on Genesis was pretty stellar for example. no shade to Sparkster SNES, since that was also a pretty bangin OST. again I'll bring up Sonic as well, all 3 genesis games had perfect OSTs that are still remembered to this day. Moonwalker took MJ songs and gave them a unique flavor. Castlevania Bloodlines worked alot of magic with the sound chip. it's just all down to how its used and what the composer wants. of course the SNES was better if you're going for more orchestral, melodic stuff. ain't denying that. but you gotta recognize that both were good. just good at different things.

I don't agree. Every game on Genesis has awful sounding music because of the low sample rate. Literally every game.

>>713667932
Any list of Genesis game music inherently proves that all the instruments sound the same. If you cannot detect the similarity by principle you are low IQ im sorry

I've talked about video games online for 30 years and at this point I accept that the world is full of people who cannot tell the differences between things and cannot tell the similarities between things. You are one of them.

Objectively speaking (this could be measured by doing some kind of average dissimilarity test) the SNES is an order of magnitude better at producing varied instrument sounds. The Genesis produced worse-sounding music than the NES in terms of actual enjoyability.

Sim City was fine but you were better off playing it on PC, same with Ultima. Genesis games were mostly alot of silly fun, which is nice. thats what i like about it. pop in Sonic 3K for some platforming goodness. or maybe pop in NHL 94 for one of the best sports games ever made. or maybe play some Puyo Puyo, or Devil's Crush. its a fun machine.

I had both at the same time when I was a kid.

Personally, when the game had a multiplat versions, I generally preferred Genesis. Still, Super NES had more games that pleased me, like Zelda LttP, Mario Kart and others.

Still, my favorite console of all time is still Dreamcast.

thats why you like them. you played them as a kid and didnt know that better versions exist. im not gonna give the SNES points for lazily porting PC games. ill give it points for its original titles, since it did have alot of really good ones. Chrono Trigger, DKC 2, FF6, Super Mario RPG, Earthbound, etc.

Genesis also had its share of amazing games. Castlevania Bloodlines, Vectorman, Rocket Knight Asventures, Gunstar Heroes, Contea Hard Corps, Shining Force, etc. i think which console you preferred really just comes down to what types of games youre looking for. if you want RPGs and cutting edge graphics, yeah. SNES. if you want faithful arcade ports, fantastic sports titles, and some unique flavors of platformer, you go for genesis.

i lean towards genesis, since it has more of what i want.

The better version is irrelevant nobody had PCs in the early 90s. The experience I had is what is relevant. Genesis is for black people and was for playing sports games

You have that loser nerd low test mindset. Don't ever do a thing because a better thing exists! Don't buy that a better one is coming out! Faggot mindset of Lego adult owners

It also has Rondo of Blood which is a big deal, Legendary Axe, and a bunch of classic Bomberman's. Like I won't deny that it's the weakest of the three, but it was no slouch.

SNES had more games that I like overall, and I think multiplats were typically better on SNES, but I greatly enjoy the Sonic the Hedgehog games. Not sure why you're making this thread here instead of /vr/ though, these consoles are older than the average /v/ user.

People on that era did not play 5 shooter games. They bought different types of experiences. That evaluation is you looking back, not representative of the experience of owning the console in its day

Many of the games you mentioned were not sold at toys r us and some not in America. If you lived outside of a big city you had toys r us to buy from. Ordering was not really an idea we started that a few years later but I'm sure some people did at the time

But yeah nobody bought like all one genre of game back then. It's not how real, natural gamers played games. Those type of people were more likely to be parked in arcades spending there.

I think this anon is right. The reason why NG eclipsed it in popularity was due to the re-imagined reboots of each series. Shinobi for PS2 while great was ultimately a simplistic arcadey type of experience during an era where for better or worse this style of game was just finished by this point. Almost nobody cared anymore. Fighters were still liked but beyond that most just did not care. Then it had a forgettable sequel in Nightshade that didn't even have the name. So it only further confused and alienated people.

Meanwhile Ninja Gaiden got one of the greatest possible re-imaginings or reboots you could possibly ever think of. It may even be the GOAT at having successfully done this. The 2D games absolutely were phenomenal but most will be talking about the NES versions. Not the inferior demakes of these games that were on 16-bit consoles. So while Shinobi fizzled out of whatever popularity it had NG got an enormous revival thanks to the exceptionally amazing 3D action games. At least for a bit though. We can all thank Itagaki for this.

There are no farts on real hardware. Its an artifact of bad emulation, and YouTubes brutal audio compression. Lossy audio codecs were designed for natural audio sources, FM synth waveforms are incompatible with lossy audio, resulting in farts.

If you like fast paced arcade style games, then Genesis.
If you like slower paced JRPG style games, then SNES.

Blast processing wasn't a meme, the CPU is faster and can load more sprites with less slowdown. It even had a higher resolution so the pixels could be bigger and more interesting as well. That's why there are no comparable arcade action games for SNES. The only one I can think of is Space Megaforce, which is a Compile game, and if you know who they are then you probably already own a Genesis and know what the hell I'm talking about.
SNES had the best RPGs of the generation. Sure PSIV is a classic, but when you have DQV, CT and FFVI to contend with, there is just a clear winner in that regard and it's the SNES.
