In terms of mindshare and sales numbers, this was certainly a heavyweight bout. But in terms of games, I think SNES handles Genesis quite easily. That’s no knock on Genesis, which was a great system. SNES was just that good.

To be fair, Genesis maintains a huge lead when it comes to action titles — shmups, run-and-gun games, beat-‘em-ups, etc. But that’s not enough to match the greatness of the SNES library.
