    Aladdin on Genesis is flashier, but I think the SNES game has more substance. The Genesis game's controls are way too slippery and imprecise and only gets by on the fact that the game is fairly easy. If it were a harder game, its issues would be a lot more glaring.

    SNES loses cuz it didn't have the Road Rash games or Skitchin'


    My only real complaint with the Genesis was that came with the 3 button controller when you needed the six for Mortal Kombat. that fucked up alot of fatalities.

    I can think of a lot more exclusives on the SNES than exclusives on the Gen but I will say the Road Rash Gen titles were some of the best racing games ever made

    I would say just about every EA Sports game much better on the Genesis, and also Pit Fighter also comes to mind.

    I just remembered this: The Lost Vikings on the Genesis has extra levels that aren't in any other version.

    Same goes for Blackthorne on the 32X but that also has redrawn graphics that look kinda uggo... also bringing in the 32X is probably cheating.

    I have lately found that I can't play fighting games with the default SNES controller. It is incredibly difficult to do things such as quarter-circle moves. On the Genesis with the official 6-button pad tho, its no problem. Tho you could mitigate this by simply not using the official SNES controller.

    SNES button layout was never really suited for fighters the best you could get of it is using a joystick.

    The Neo Geo CD pad is my favorite controller for fighters, so I don't have a problem with using controllers with only four face buttons for fighters, but yeah, as solid as the SNES d-pad is for other purposes, it's pretty stiff for fighters.
