    Although I never played NBA Live '98 when it actually came out, I have played it since, and I think that was the absolute pinaccle of 16-Bit Basketball games.

    I would disagree. I think EA sports games from 96-98 are better on the SNES...because of the more detail and colors. 95 and before I would agree, as SNES NHL 95 (although more colorful) runs really slow as compared to the GENESIS NHL 95. But comparing both system's NHL 98....SNES all the way.


    The only EA Sports series that was better on the SNES was NBA Live. All the versions of NBA Live were better on SNES, but other than that, I have to disagree with you.


    NHL '94 on Genny might be the best Hockey game of all time. Madden '93 on Genny is the best Football game of all time.


    I tried playing some of the last EA SNES games to see if they improved but honestly I still don't think they hold a candle to those two absolute classics for the Genny.

    True. I haven't really enjoyed any football games since (though I haven't played many either, or ever for that matter). Back in those days the sports games seemed more like games and less like a yearly event for sports fans who happen to have game consoles. These days everyone seems to have at least a PS2 or XBOX or something, and the more mass market things become, the more sports games seem to suffer. After the mid 90's or so all the EA sports games seemed to lose something. Not sure what it was. By the time everything was on PSX sports games seemed like a sad excuse for EA to print money.

    It saddens me that a company that was a boon the the Genny (not to mention the 3DO became the scourge the sports game genre.

    The lack of competition, combined with what I perceive as low standards (The VConcepts/Sega 2K games were much, much better and not nearly enough consumers noticed), will only push down quality as EA's reign of terror continues.

    How the mighty have fallen.... Sad....

    Of course if ya like todays EA stuff feel free to play it, but lord knows I ain't touching it.

    This is a great discussion. I should have participated in it a long time ago when the topic was read hot. Oh well.



    Here is my take on the battle between the Genesis and the SNES. I had both systems for their entire runs, and I often would rent the same game for both systems, so for alot of these games I actually have a pretty good idea of which one is better. Certainly, the Super Nintendo's technology was definitely much futher along than the Genesis, but suprisingly, often times the Genesis would have a superior version of a game. Usually, it came down to the "flow" of the game, and the playability factor. Although sometimes a game looked and sounded better on the SNES, sometimes it would control much better and flow much better than the SNES counterpart. The Genesis certainly had a uphill battle considering it could only put 64 colors on the screen simultaneously. Also, the sound chip in the SNES was absolutely fantastic. But the Genesis did have the fast processor, and the simplistic design, making it easier to tap the power of the Genny, and to have the game run effeciently. Of course, sometimes the SNES version of a game would absolutely destroy the Genesis game, usually in a scenario in which the SNES version actually had better control and playability in addition to having better graphics and sounds.

    Here is how I break them down:





    Addams Family, The = SNES all the way
    Adventures of Batman & Robin, The = Genny all the way
    Aero the Acro-Bat = A dream on the SNES
    Aladdin (Disney's) = Different games but Genny version better
    Alien 3 = SNES Alien 3 is absolute classic.
    Bill Walsh College Football = Genesis version by a mile
    Boogerman: A Pick and Flick Adventure = Genesis
    Brutal: Paws of Fury = Genesis version by a huge margin
    Bubsy: Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind = SNES version much better
    Chuck Rock = Genny version had much better control
    Cool Spot = Much better on the Genesis, tighter gameplay.
    Desert Strike: Return to the Gulf = much better on Genny
    Earthworm Jim = Genny all the way
    Earthworm Jim 2 = Genny version controls a little better
    FIFA International Soccer = Genny version controls better
    Flashback: The Quest for Identity = More accurate on Genny version
    Joe & Mac = Much better on SNES
    John Madden Football - please! Genny version in a massacre!
    John Madden Football '93 - silly question! Genny in a landslide!
    Jungle Book, The (Disney's) = Genny version is tighter
    Jurassic Park = Totally different games, both absolute classics for their systems.
    Lion King, The (Disney's) = Genny has less color, not as good sound, much better control.
    Madden NFL '94 = Genny
    Madden NFL '95 = Genny
    Madden NFL '96 = Genny
    Madden NFL '97 = Genny
    Madden NFL '98 = All SNES Maddens sucked. I tried them all!
    Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: The Movie = SNES is better
    Mortal Kombat = Genny much better feel
    Mortal Kombat II = SNES classic
    NBA Jam = SNES was amazing.
    NBA Live '95 = absolute SNES classic
    NBA Live '96 = SNES
    NBA Live '97 = SNES
    NBA Live '98 = SNES version is best 16-bit NBA sim
    NCAA Final Four Basketball = SNES version Mode 7 classic - much different game from genny.
    NHL '94 - not even a question, Genny by a landslide. Best 16-bit Hockey.
    PGA Tour Golf - Genny by a mile, way better control. more accurate gameplay.
    Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure = Genny had better playability
    Prince of Persia = Genny was tighter
    Rock 'n Roll Racing = SNES by a landslide
    Sparkster = SNES was pretty good, but Genny a little better control.
    Super Smash TV = SNES by a huge margin!
    Taz-Mania = The Genny game was pretty underrated
    Tecmo Super Baseball = Mode 7 on SNES makes it much better
    Tecmo Super NBA Basketball = Much better on SNES
    Terminator, The = Much better on Genny
    Top Gear 2 = SNES version is superior
    Toy Story (Disney's) = SNES version controls like crap, Genny version better
    Zero: The Kamikazee Squirrel = SNES version get's the nod
    Zombies Ate My Neighbors = This is a SNES classic.



    Those are my takes on all of those games.

    I have to say that it's hard for me to remember some of these. I didn't have a Genny back in the day cause I was broke, and I was a big Nintendo fan (not sure why, but eh).

    The thing that really distinguishes the systems in my opinion is the exclusives, and those really depend on what genre(s) a given gamer prefers. Sports were certainly better on the Genny, and Shmups were no contest, hence my later prference for the Genesis. I also like Hard Corps better than Alien Wars but those were completely separate games (though it seems like a few people are confused about that...). I could say the same thing about Castlevania actually, though that doesn't seem to be a very popular opinion.

    I had forgotten that many of the games on Anthony's list were released for both systems, the lesser versions sort of just faded into nothingness (I forgot them whether they were better on the sytem I had or not), so I think the list is pretty accurate. [/quote]

    I'll have to agree with everyone who said the Aladdin comparision isn't fair... the only thing those games have in common is the franchise, but they're totally different games made by totally different developers.

    It's also well known that EA had to cut frames of animation out of the sports titles (especially the NHL games) just to make them playable on the SNES.

    Graphics and sound may have been significantly better on the SNES, but the SNES processor speed was slower than a retarded baboon.

    My votes would go to Mortal Kombat (better gameplay and uncencored), Robocop vs terminator (I guess it was more graphic, but just looked better to me), Terminator was infinitely better on Genesis (Terminator SNES has bad controls and difficult for the wrong reasons),

    I have to say the Port of Doom....

    SNES Doom...used the FX2 Chip. While it had the complete *game* so to speak, (all the Episodes), the Framerate was LESS than spectacular, and it was missing a lot of the graphical effects and what not. The music was okay reproductions, if not as *bold* as the orignal PCs.

    DOOM of the Genesis 32X however, had an awesome frame-rate, the sound effects and graphical effects where there, but the music was slightly tinny. It also only had 15 levels I belive, rather than all the Episodes, unless those WERE all the episodes rolled into one big hoooo-hah. I have yet to beat Sega 32X Doom. I really should soon!

    So I perfer the Doom 32x Port on the Genesis.

    I'd say Mortal Kombat but I enjoy MK on both the Super NES and Genesis, since I never played it for the blood or fatalities. The Genesis version seems to have a slightly better feel and I do enjoy the superior graphics and sound on the SNES copy.

    Super Tecmo Bowl is better on the Genesis if for no other reason than in the SNES version San Francisco's passing game is nigh unstoppable, almost to the point of a glitch. In the Genesis version this was toned down a bit...

Super Nova is weak.

    As mentioned before, The SNES SFII games ran rings around the Genesis versions. Better sound, larger characters and more colors. On the flip side, I wholeheartedly agree that most of the SNK Neo Geo ports were better on Genesis. Also, even though it was badly censored, the SNES version of Sunset Riders was truer to the arcade game. The SNES port of Turtles in Time also slays The Hyperstone Heist. Super Ghouls & Ghosts, despite its slowdown, looks much better than the Ghouls 'N Ghosts on Genesis.

    When it comes to the early polygon stuff (choosing to forget the Tengen ports of the early Atari 3D games like Steel Talons (which is better on SNES), Stunt Race FX is not even in the same ballpark as Virtua Racing, but that is more due to the Hitachi SH1 than anything else. Stunt Race is higher res, but has a terrible frame rate that makes it nigh unplayable today. VR was tight and remains so.

    Anything that required moving many sprites simultaneously benefitted from the Genesis's faster CPU, but anything focused on detailed sprites was much better on the SNES due mostly to the superior color palette. Genesis could excel in the area of detail when the color palette limitations were worked out correctly (Gaiares, Castle of Illusion, Sonic), but the dithering is tough on the eyes after experiencing the newer consoles. Sound was also generally better on SNES, with the major exceptions being those games that maximized the effect of the Genesis's grungy PCM (All Tecnosoft games, Sonic).

    It is a wash. that is why so many of use have chosen to collect both!
    virtua racing's SVP chip was not a hitachi SH-1. i can't remember what it was, but it was some custom chip. the only sega system that had an SH1 in it was the saturn and that was to control the CD drive iirc

    To be honest I believe MK and Aladin were better on Genesis. Then again I'm really Nintendo biased and didn't own a Genesis until like 4 years ago. O_o

    When it was originally released, Shaq-Fu for Genesis came with a single of Shaq's woeful rapping, but the Snes version did not... Edge, snes?

    Well then I would have to give the advantage to Sega. Because Shaq rapping was probably the only good thing in that craptastic game O_o

    I'm more of a SNES player but Toy Story is a lot better on the Mega Drive. Better controls, the 3-D level is different and way better, there are a lot more cinema sceens in the MD-version and if I remember correctly the ending was longer too.
