In reality, the Genesis was absolutely crushed by the NES in 1990, and didn't achieve much of anything. 1991 was when the Genesis took off, with the release of Sonic the Hedgehog. It was pretty remarkable to see how closely Nintendo has stuck to certain core values over time: not focused on technology, reaching out to different demographics, etc. I loved seeing the old games and old industry figures. Tom Kalinske and Howard Phillips - hadn't seen them in ages! |
we all saw what happened the one gen they left their core values... and went with power... It killed them, and also ruined the next gen gamecube too...
