Good idea for a poll, kinda, but the only system that can be mentioned in the same breath as the SNES is the Genesis, and that's all it gets it's a mention. SNES, in my opinion, still has the best library of games ever released for a console. I await the day a console pleases me as much as my Super Nintendo did.

I would easily put the Megadrive in "the same breath" as the SNES.

Both had quality titles in every genre.

Megadrive had the superior Mortal kombat version which included blood.

Streets of Rage is FAR better than Final Fight ect ect.

There were some genres that were far better on the SNES than the Megadrive (Namely RPG's)

But theres also Genres that were better on the Megadrive.

Bottom line____________________________ is that both consoles were simply fantastic and i'm PROUD to say that i owned both durig the height of their popularity.

 

I do agree that Genesis (megadrive, w/e) had some good titles.  RPG's is what does it for me though, and while Genesis had a few good ones, even their best can't compare to games like Secret of Mana, Crono Trigger, every Final Fantasy released on it, Secret of Evermore, Illusion if Gaia etc.  And I was a fanatic about and owned every Phantasy Star from that era as well.  As a matter of fact, the Phantasy Star collection is the single reason I bought the Ultimate Genesis Collection..anything else I liked on it was simply a perk of the title, but not a reason to own it.  Ok, that and the Sonic games.

That 'era' of gaming was the best, carries the most nostalgia, and will probably never be topped in terms of immersion and quality.  I'm in no way shape or form saying that the Genesis wasn't a good console.  I'd say it easily rivals any of the consoles out right now, but I still think SNES was better.  

The 'same breath' statement was over-statement, and I apologize.  But for my personal tastes as a gamer, I don't have to think twice about choosing the SNES.
