| theprof00 said: I've seen both consoles at a friends house, got to spend a good amount of time with each, and while the SuperNES is defiitely a powerhouse, the Sega Genesis was the only machine out of the two that actaully made me feel like I was interacting with something 'cool'. We played Earthworm Jim on both systems and there's no doubt which one looked better. The SNES version. Played Super Mario World also and can't really say I was all that impressed by it. Great grafx, but not really enough going on to make it feel like the best platformer of the gen. Sorta boring after a couple days. Get the mushroom, jump on a goomba, get to the castle, repeat. Cruised around SNES demo cartridge for a bit and there simply wasn't all that much to do, to interact with. The Genesis on the other hand, the downgrade in Earthworm Jim grafx notwithstanding, truly felt cool to me. Let me explain that a little bit. Every gamer understands that better graphics won't equate to a better experience, it's the level of interaction you have with the game that matters, and that holds true with the consoles themselves. Nintendo, again, brought a monster console to the masses, a graphical beast, but did so at the cost of innovation and fun. No one buys a console anymore to just play kid games. Those that think they're having fun are fooling themselves, intentionally, and doing so in an attempt to downplay the advantages that the competitor has. |
It baffles me everytime if someone honestly thinks the sega megadrive is superior to the snes. I mean Square single handedly made the console legendary even without taking any other games into account the just the Square games are enough to put the megadrives complete library to shame
There I said it, all the advanced technology like the sega CD and 32X are worthless if they have to face the revolutionary SNES Library of games.
