The SNES has a better library overall, but both are great.SNES vs MegaDrive/Genesis, which is better
audio and graphics are better on the snes. im preferable of the snes library as well. the genesis has a pretty good library too tho
I had to vote Genesis, I mean it was good enough to be called Genesis in America (religious afiliation?). I looked at my collection, and realised that I had like 3 times the ammount of Genesis games that were excellent games by anyones standards. Musha ftw, Robocop Versus the Terminator, Rocket Kight Adventures, sonic games. I think the Genesis had more appealing games, SNES was popular more overall, or more popular in Japan. They sucked up the Metroid game, Mario games, thing is I might have a more even ratio of cartridges, if the games were not uber expensive on the SNES. Americans liked the Genesis while Japanese liked the Snes, which there are more Japanese than there are Americans. Its a close call though, I mean Musha can be compared to Starfox, Sonic to Mario/Donkey Kong. I played Earthworm Jim on both the Snes and the Genesis, and the Genesis one was better.
Neo Geo
Mega Drive. It had a much better game line-up.
SNES was way better. Genesis couldn't get out of the arcade mindset. Plus its games are kinda ugly alongside SNES.
Both were AMAZING systems... my best bud at the time had a Genesis and I had the Super NES... I loved going over there and playing Sonic and Spiderman!!!! But I do give a slight edge to the SNES... wait, no... man, this is possibly one of the toughest questions in history!! Genesis was way ahead of its time... while SNES revolutionized video games with stuff like Donkey Kong Country, Star Fox... but as did Sonic... :\
I grew up owning both the SNES and MD. My friends and I would waste away weekends and afternoons playing games on both consoles, though we mostly played the SNES. With that being said, after growing up and collecting games for both consoles I can without a doubt in my mind say the SNES is way better than the Mega Drive.
I vote for the snes.
while its a close call, I prefer the Genesis. I had a blast playing Sonic 1, 2 and 3. but the main reason I prefer Genesis is Road Rash. For some reason Nintendo couldnt get 1 Road Rash game on the SNES, while Sega got 3 of them.
MegaDrive.
SNES won the console war for a reason. One of my problems with the genesis was it didn't know when to all it quit's. Genesis, Genesis 2, lets add on a cd (Sega CD), wait that still didn't work. lets try one more time (Sega 32X). each of these add ons costed like $150 dollars in addition to the console itself. All just to compete with the SNES, know when to call it quits and admit you have been bested.

More than all of the crap add-ons Nintendo devised combined and that no one ones about like the FamiDisk, and 64DD, and even the Virtual Boy included.

It's not a bad system but what does the Virtual boy have to do with the SNES is was a crappy flop that should have never happened. The Genesis just couldn't compete with the SNES hence all the overpriced add ons that didn't improve the games.Edit Nintendo moved 49.1 million Super NES consoles over the course of the generation and beyond, far surpassing the Genesis, which sold a still impressive 29 million units.

In 1992 SEGA still had around 60% of the market share.The Mega Drive dominated the entire generation, the SFC sold the most units after the generation was over.Seems to me the system competed more than well enough.
It still comes down to the fact that SNES Dominated Genesis! The numbers don't lie.
[QUOTE=''Stange13'']It still comes down to the fact that SNES Dominated Genesis! The numbers don't lie.[/QUOTE]Yeah, 20 million is quite a lot.
SNES was in another league.
[QUOTE=''Stange13'']It still comes down to the fact that SNES Dominated Genesis! The numbers don't lie.[/QUOTE]Sales number don't give you the perispective of the time. The SFC eventually sold more, yes, but it never dominated neither the market nor the MD. The MD was the market leader the longest time during that generation. That is also a fact.
But if it makes you happier thinking that way, then be my guess. I've already had this same argument countless times already.
