no it didnt. it looked different, not realy better or worse. and the sega sound was way more funky...

But Nintendo sound was higher quality. Also, the SNES was more powerful than the sega genesis. It wasn't even close thanks to the FX chips.

32x?, mega cd? 

Those were both peripherals that required you to place them atop a genesis(meaning you had to own a genesis) before you could play the games. Show me a game from the 32x.

The SNES was powerful enough to emulate real instruments. The Genesis sound chip had to be played as if it was its own instrument. Two totally different things.

Nintendo games refers to well polished games. Nintendo games are developed by Nintendo internal studios. Until now, no other developer has enter this exclusive circle.

Basically high quality non EA / Activision games, eg games that use all the colors instead of just shades of teh ultra realisticz green and brown, have a great single player experience not sacrificed for online epeen competitive play only, are generally perfect on release because they aren't rushed to pad a fiscal statement, aren't butchered to "appeal to the widest possible audience", and well, they are games only available on Nintendo consoles.

One thing I love about Nintendo  games is they are still VIDEO GAMES and they are FUN and aren't trying to be reality simulators.  They remind me how video games used to be when they were still video games.

I'm tired of seeing "Nintendo needs to do ..." or Nintendo needs more CoD .  No, they don't.  I want an alternative for all the mainstream shovelware and investorware.

They are filling the same niche they always have, making pure video games for gamers who played or would have played video games before they were cool, manly, and socially acceptable.

True. We, dedicted gamers, know better. While I don't agree with Nintendo's approach to their consoles and some of their franchises, I know they are more than just mario or kid games. The Xenoblade and the fire emblems are great but they aren't very mainstream so most casual buyers/gamers wouldn't know they are nintendo affilieted games.

It's a generalisation and generalisations are always popular because it saves you from the trouble of making some actual research.

This Nintendo "genre" thing will always be a thing, right?
