Which do you like better? SEGA Genesis or SNES and why?
I had both growing up. My brother had the Sega, I had the SNES.
We also had many of the same games for both systems and could always see the difference of the two systems. (sports and fighters)
SNES
On many games, the SNES had superior graphics and sounds than the genesis version of the same game. The graphics were a lot more clearer Mortal Kombat and on Street Fighter, the fighters didn't sound like they had strep throat. In fact Capcom had to retouched up the SF game because it wasn't as pretty as the SNES version.
But due to SNES having such pretty graphics and clear crisp sound. Many screens/ content had to be left out.
SEGA
Genesis had some cool exclusive titles. But Nintendo was getting the advantage with their licensing. However the SNES watered down version of Mortal Kombat really stole the whole point of that game and received plenty of feedback because of it. Genesis also had more close to arcade perfect contents, not performance though.
In Street Fighter they had the opening intro, fonts, and I think Guile's fade even moved when he would charge back. Many contents from the original arcade made it to the home version on Sega to where SNES didn't. Mortal Kombat, original title screen, blood. But they lacked sound and graphics. The sprites were always a bit too small and the sound was just terrible.
Sega over the years had kept coming out with failed attempts to bring better quality to it's consumers. I guess it bothered them that SNES had better sound and visuals that they wanted to have it all. But When MK hit Sega CD they didn't do anything but add in the MK commercial. Really? Plus the 32x that did what? Did nothing to bring MK2 over the SNES version.
SNES had some cool added accessorizes like the super scope that enhanced the fun of the system. They should of utilized it more, but it looked cool, and was awesome when it was used. Sega couldn't get the controller right the first time.
