I grew up on the Genesis. I didn't start playing SNES games until the early 2000's. SNES blows Genesis away with it's games. Most Genesis exclusives were short 2 hour long arcade games. Meanwhile Nintendo, and Square were putting out these long epic games on SNES. 

I've collected a ton of games for both. And played both a lot. And trust me they're very close, even though SNES wins in the end. I would say though, that many of Megadrive's best games are not as known and didn't sell as many copies as some of the best SNES games. Comix Zone is an example.

Also, if your definition of a good game is "long and epic narrative", then I don't trust you to tell me which game library beats which, sorry.

Not long epic narrative. Just game that is long (as in takes a long time to beat), and epic (as in quality). 

I completely agree that their best games didn't sell as well. That was partly why I made this thread. Megadrive/Genesis Mini is chock full of rare, but excellent games that hardly anybody played. These rare, but fantastic games are finally getting rereleased so that people don't have to spend $50 to $100 on an original copy. That is huge!
