What do these three consoles have in common?
>96-99% of game library is slop or mobile tier respetetive trash
>only popular in Japan except NES in USA due to lack of competition and slightly higher amount of good games compared to the other two
>only popular today due to brain-dead boomers that need pin the tail on the donkey tier jank to help them forget their wife left them

2d games didnt get good until ps1 and 3d games didnt get good until ps2

>what do these three consoles have in common
Retarded niggerfaggots like OP seethe over them daily.

>>11882898
idk bro my genesis says different about the 2d games

>>11882929
genesis 2d has too low color count

Each was the best console of its generation.

>good visual design means lots of colors!!
You sound like a kindergarten child

>>11882892 (OP)
Low quality bait

Die motherfucker

>>11883183
It's not just a case of visual design. When you have only 60 colors to use for character sprites, enemy sprites, special effects, and the level, you run out of colors very quickly and it massively limits your design choices in a gameplay aspect too. For instance, this screenshot of FF6 has 130 colors, and this is with just three characters out of four, one enemy type, and no spell effects going on.

>>11883204
You picked one of the most visually ugly SNES games, good job.

I really think you ought to study minimalism because you sound incredibly ignorant

>>11883183
Meanwhile Shining Force CD dedicated an entire palette of 15 colors to just the map sprites, this still took up 25% of the mega drive's color limits. Because of the limited amount of colors the sprites skew very heavily towards blue and green. The hud for SFCD also needed a bunch of colors, including one for HP values above 200 which is used by two enemies in the entire game, at this point you have to start asking yourself "How few colors can I get away with for this part of the game?" in an attempt to squeeze it in.

Keep in mind you can't use multiple palettes on a single sprite, if you wanted a specific shade of red from another palette you were shit out of luck.

>>11883223
It's about detail, and you need to learn how to type filetype:png into google image search

>>11883226
Visual consistency and strong art direction is still more important than total color count. Total color count is a pretty fucking stupid metric to go by post-NES era because our brains are not autistic calculators that gauge the value of an artwork by dissecting and determining how many unique colors there are in any given frame.

Curse of the Moon has a limited NES-style palette and it's still beautiful. Gato Roboto only has black and white, and it's still beautiful. Buck Bumble has way more colors than these games, but I wouldn't argue that makes it a better game.

>you need to learn how to type filetype:png into google image search
I do when it fuckin matters

>responding to this bait seriously
Have some self respect man come on

>>11883241
Yeah anyone who calls FF6 ugly is clearly retarded.

>>11883223
>I really think you ought to study minimalism because you sound incredibly ignorant
Ah yes, minimalism.

>Draw three half-finished circles
>Call it oranges
>"ART GRANT PLEASE"

>>11883241
Real bait isn't this automatically detailed and researched. This is a genuine opinion someone holds dear. But you're right, best to just ignore it

>>11883250
Tell me, how many four-niggas-in-a-row games does the genesis have? How many on the SNES?

>>11883256
Why don't you just tell me

>>11882892 (OP)
They make one child on the internet seethe

>>11883257
Genesis; the closest you're gonna get is Phantasy Star 2 and 4 which only have two enemy types on-screen at any given time and static sprites for the start of battle and battle interactions, characters are hidden from view otherwise.

SNES; you have Final Fantasy 4, 5, and 6, Romancing SaGa (FIVE niggas in a row) 1, 2, and 3, Treasure of the Rudras, Live a Live, and Tales of Phantasia each having at least four player characters and a sizable range of enemies on screen at the same time that does not hide the other sprites unless something really fancy is happening like summons.

Without taking a massive sledgehammer to the character designs, those SNES games would be impossible to accurately port to the genesis.

>>11883272
Ok. So what?

>>11883292
I mean im with this anon, I don't care about jrpgs.

>>11882932
This, 61 colors out of 512 is just not enough. Late Genesis games do their darnest to work around it with striking color choices to distract from the limitations, but in anything visually subtler than Ristar, the overt grit is immediately apparent to anyone who didn't grow up with the machine.

>>11883304
>Older consoles had memory limitations that caused their games to have distinctive and noticeably unique art styles
WAOW what a hot scoop!!

>>11882892 (OP)
This is some seriously weak bait

>>11883272
>five niggas in a row
Damn son that's some fucking magic VooDoo bullshit how the fuck am I supposed to deal with that I can barely function with 4 which is why I'm glad they eventually reduced that shit to 3 in later jarpigs. Chrono Trigger is the best.

Not getting what you mean by this. Also didn't people like PC Engine for its shmups mostly?

>>11884583
Yeah, the PC Engine was the more mature serious business alternative to the famicom that had a lot of shooters and PC ports. It was pretty much the Japanese version of the Xbox.

>>11884583
>Also didn't people like PC Engine for its shmups mostly?
No those things that believe that aren't people. They're also EOPs, so twice as vile. There were certainly several excellent shmups for the system, but that was not the main attraction.

>>11883787
I hope for your sake you're a troll and not just really, really dumb

>>11884720
I just hope someone got a laugh out of it.
