Purposefully creating a parody of Sevengen's thread seems to be a violation of the baiting rule here on the forums.

It only seems that way, it's not true.

I also read this before reading its sibling. I was quite amused.

Did you guys read Digital Foundry's Street Fighter II comparison in their magazine last month? Another victory for SNES lol.

Well executed sir.

I laughed.

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. 
It just feels like a more powerful NES

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. 
And this is where the Genesis really shines against the SNES:
"What kinds of games it has, the maturity level, what it offers is a complete package."

The Genesis, right now, can play games the SNES simply can't and will never be able to. 
Mortal Kombat on Genesis is awesome, play your game with blood, and fatalities, or rip out your friends heart and eat it... the same game, or something different? Nope, not on SuperNintendo.
Sega CD. We must have spent 45 minutes or so just listening to music CDs, some just a few minutes before we put on another one... everything from Weird Al, to Guns and Roses, and it plays games that are so fun, they blow SNES out of the water, like Dragon's Lair.
It was all amazingly fast, intuitive, and seamlessly accessible right there on the console.
Blast Processing. Say what you want about it, hate on it if it makes you feel better, but the thing is simply awesome and a huge advantage for the Genesis.

Sega does what Nintendon't.

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.

I know! almost 3 times the resolution! How did they pull of shifting around those extra 52 pixels! WHAT HAS SCIENCE DONE.

We'll be seeing dimishing returns next gen as to how many blocks the human eye can distinguish.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

Yeah right, Genesis doesn't even support four face buttons. Sega better release a patch for that, or they're gonna be dead in the water.

Also, Genesis only supports 61 simultaneous colors. SNES? 256.

Fucking Sega fanboys, so blind lol

Sigh.. I already agreed that SNES had better grafx. It's one thing to argue, it's another thing to start a fight over it. Frankly I'm too mature to engage in this with you. I'm going to go play Road Rash and Mortal Kombat. Lemme know when you wanna stop playing all those kids games.

And the MUSIC! SNES got those next gen real life insturments while Genesis still sounds like its Atari 2600 come on Sega it's 1991 get with the times.

Between you and me I already can't distinguish it. Even the color palette that SNES boasts. Scientifically the human eye can only see 64 colors per second anyway. And Earthworm Jim? Most beautiful game I've ever seen. Gunna be hard to top that next gen, but I heard Sega's new console Dreamcast is going to be amazing.
