HAHAHAHAHAH

chrono cross better than chrono trigger?

HAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

     This topic is about which system was better the PS1 oe SNES.  Obviously with the PS1 having a AAA (and a game that is right up there with any Zelda or Mario ever made) game from Kojima in Metal Gear Solid and another in the best version of another one of the greatest games of all time in Japan with the PS1's version of Sntcher (and possibly a third if Policenauts was on the PS1 in Japan too), those are more reasons PS1 would be > than the SNES. 

I don't see how Metal Gear Solid can compete with Super Metroid, but that is my opinion and therefore impossible to prove.

By that logic I could say, "I don't see any Miyamoto games on PS so SNES wins"

 sorry that title goes for zelda ocarina :p (i know its not in the snes..)

super mario kart is better, gran turismo is just to realistic

blasphemy, its not even close to super mario world

you're very worng on that one :p, final fantasy VI is wayyy better and most people would agree :p

sorry, but mario is the most popular gaming series ever, and super mario worold proves that :p

I don't think the 5th generation consoles have aged very well so I think the SNES wins easily.

OOT or Super Metroid, it is hard to decide for me

Mario Kart is more fun at least.  Isn't that all that matters.

I agree, Crash Bandicoot isn't even close.  Even if you only count Sony consoles, Jak and Daxter is better.

Final Fantasy VI is better than FFVII.  FFVII is just more well known because: better graphics, story and character more accessible to "new" players and Sony fans.  Some would say the characters are stereotypes (I am one of them.  Big black guy with guns, come on!)

Mario is the most popular franchise.  I remember reading once that the first level Super Mario Bros. (NES) is the most well know theme song even among non-gamers.

I agree with everything Bolschack said.

     Miyamoto is no better than Kojima and he is certainly inferior when it comes to crafting stories.  So, at best for Nintendo and Miyamoto, it could be considered a tie with Nintendo having Miyamoto and Sony having Kojima.  So one would have to look at other factors.

     Certainly the SNES didn't have a racing game the equal of Gran Turismo or Gran Turismo 2 but the Nintendo fans will say "no racing game equals Mario Kart in terms of fun.

     The PS1 did have far more of Square's top games while some will say that Nintendo had the best Square games overall, but the PS1 had four Final Fantasies to release in the US and a great Dragon Warrior game while none of the SNES DW games came out in America, one of its FF games failed to come out in America.  One of its Mana games failed to come out in America and several smaller but fondly recalled games like Bahamut Lagoon and Treasure Hunter-G failed to come to America.  Most of those games probably would have come to the American PS1.

     The PS1 probably didn't have any platformers that rivaled the ones on the SNES.  However, all things considered the PS1 probably had better shooters something SNES didn't seem to have very many of at least in the US.

I guess it could be considered a draw. 

Wow. No way is Kojima in Miyamoto's league. What's he done outside the Metal Gear series?
