Super NES or Sega Genesis?

For me Super Nintendo. But if you like Shooters only then the Genesis is the console for you, it tears the SNES to shreds in that genre. Every other genre I care for though, the SNES towers over anything Genesis has to offer. Sonic games I tried, but cant get into, Mario is just better, he can do much more than Sonic with all his power ups. The SNES was the best game console ever till the PS2 came out.
Alright, sounds good. Personally, I do like both systems, since they both have their share of amazing games. Everybody has their different tastes, but for me, both Mario and Sonic have really great games during the 16-bit era (like Sonic 2 and Super Mario All-Stars, which I both own).Originally Posted by IHatedSega
Personally, I own both and won't ever be able to decide between them as they're both just that good. Obviously they both have their stronger genres but having both will really make the most out of 16-bit gaming.

when I was younger I would've said the SNES, because I was an RPG fan and the SNES owns that genre.
But these days I tend to favor the Genesis. It is in fact the one system I never unhook. When it comes to more action-oriented games, the Genesis.... well, I won't say "has the SNES beat hands-down" but it seems easier to find decent ones that have more of that kinda-oppressive-in-a-fun-way aesthetic I love (Valis, Thunder Force, etc.) I feel like the Genesis was a more "adult" system, although that could just be me B.Sing myself.
Still love my Super though.
During the height of the 16 bit wars, I would have said Genesis, then I discovered SNES' RPGs and switched over. Now, though, I still say SNES, but not only from RPGs. The first party titles in my opinion blow anything on the Genesis out of the water: Super Metroid, Donkey Kong Country, Link to the Past - love em! I also find that the SNES shmups are more my style. Not that I dislike what the Genesis offers - on the contrary! - but to me there's something still classic about many of them, especially Gradius III. I also tend to like some of the older SNES Konami games over the Genesis counterparts, so SCVIV over Bloodlines, Contra III over Hard Corps. And finally, Mega Man X was an SNES exclusive.
Two words - Space Megaforce
That is all

So the Super Nintendo, right?
Yep, great shmup, its part of the Aleste series, and a kind of pseudo sequel to Blazing Lazers on the TG-16. As far as I know, it isn't on any other platform other than the SNES

Because genesis does what Nintendon't
That's true. XD
Actually its made by treasure
Both systems have amazing games and killer exclusives, but for me the Genesis wins. Usually the darker pallet of the Genny was better suited for conveying atmosphere in games. Music is also VERY important to me and the FM synth chip in the Genesis is generally more apealing to me.
Don't get me wrong. The Genesis has no substitute for Snes musical masterpieces like Final Fantasy 6, but usually the organic nature of the Genesis's sound and graphics is more unique and refreshing to me than what the Snes has to offer.
If a god is willing to prevent evil, but not able, then he is not omnipotent. If he is able, but not willing, then he must be malevolent. If he is both willing and able, then why is there evil? If he is neither able or willing then why call him a god?
Oh god yes. The genesis has an awesome Yamaha fm synth that sounds spectacular with shmups. Like these

I owned both back in the day and enjoyed them both. However, when I got back into classic gaming a few years ago, the first system I started collecting for was the Genesis. The SNES want really even a contender for me oddly.
At this point I have an NES, a TG16 and a fairly decent Jaguar collection and no SNES. So yes I prefer the Genesis for a lot of reasons already covered. But don't trust me I wanted a Jaguar more than a Super Nintendo.
Hmm interesting point. But a Neogeo can do 4,096 colors simultaneously. Same processors as the genesis right? Just different amounts of ram and a custom graphics chip.
I really like both systems but SNES takes it for me just from their library of titles.
That's a little cold. But to put it in perspective, I have 4 genesis systems and 0 snes. Snes is on the bottom of my list of systems to collect or collect for.
Besides a snes on a modern tv looks like ass, hook that up to a CRT.
