SEGA Saturn and PlayStation esp for RPGs. PS1 had the most but Saturn was no slouch and if you had these two into that genre (and can read Japanese for Saturn) you were in heaven.
PCE Engine/TG-16 and SEGA Genesis + SEGA CD/PCECD for Shmups. PCE Was the best shmup machine of it's era. Over 100 of them more than any console of the time. Genesis was no slouch and had some amazing exclusives like MUSHA. Gaiares. Gleylancer and more. When they did share ports. Some played better on PC Engine/CD or on SEGA CD like Lords of Thunder.
8th gen I liked having a Switch and PS4. Both systems got a lot of good ports of arcade like games or indies. I liked having my choice of PS4 for better performance or portable on Switch. It was nice to have that choice of better performance or convenience without the TV. As much as I love 90s gaming. I do not miss when the portable of a game was...Mortal Kombat for Game Boy. Switch and now Switch 2 you get the full experience. You may lose some frames and/or a lower resolution but the core game is the same.
