pc =P

SNES because of jrpgs

Not what I was expecting. lol thanks this made me laugh

definately the super nintendo since it has way more and better games than the sega.
of course sonic is awesome but games like Super Metroid, Super Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong country, Lufia and all the ones I now missed to mention make up for it.

personally i'd get a snes and import all the games i missed.

I hope you guys realize I am acting as if these consoles were brand new. It'd be kinda fun if you played along :P (I'm saying this because of the people saying to import. Importing was expensive :C)

I think the SNES is better because it has more good game in my opinion. The Donkey Kong Country games, Super Mario World 1&2, Super Metroid, 5 Bomberman games, Final Fantasy 4-6, and so on.

Just buy sonic games on Steam.. Get SNES obviously

To make a wise choose, just remember that Sega does what Nintendont... Mmm, but Nintendo is what Genesisnt!!!! This marketing is driving me crazy!!!

But wait, SNES have incredible Mode 7 Scaling and Rotation, and out of this world Stereo sounds...

Or well just get Genesis because it has Blast Processing!!! Yes, Incredible Speed Graphics like in Sonic games!!! And you can get Mode 7 Scaling and Rotation adding to your genesis a Sega CD, and even more you can add a 32x for fantastic Next gen experiences!!!

Naaa… Get a Sony PlayStation… unbelievable graphics for its time!!!

Nice flashback, but I still love the games from both consoles, so don’t choose, buy them both :-)!!!

Happy gaming to all friends!!!

I got an SNES as a present when I was 4. Learned to love video games because of that. Good times.
Go get one.

Genesis is the better console, but SNES has better games.

Genesis does what nintendon't

SNES all the way. How is this a competition?

Three words: Secret of Mana.

Two words: Tetris Attack.

One word: Earthbound.

Final Fantasy (II and III), Starfox, Mega Man X! Super Mario RPG Legend of the Seven Stars!!

Chrono Trigger.

Super Metroid, Zelda A Link To The Past, etc etc.

HOW are we having this conversation?

SNES Wins.

Flawless Victory.

(also mortal kombat)

You should forget about Genesis and SNES and get Vectrex.

Here is a crude photo of everything that I bought thanks to the suggestions from this thread. Any other suggestions for games?

it's a difficult decision... the SNES have great games (Super metroid for example)...
but you can't do THIS with a SNES

SNES. It's games may not be as uncensored as Genesis, but the exclusives are totally worth it. I'm curious about that disc drive add-on that just came out, but I doubt that CD-roms will take the place in cartridges in gaming, heck, I'm not entirely sure they'll take over floppy discs for us PC gamers that have moved onto Windows 3.1 from just DOS or consoles.

As far as that handheld. I own one and I have to say, it's brilliant. It might be monochrome, but it can run on just 4 AA batteries for TEN HOURS! I couldn't believe it, you'd think that the batteries wouldn't last that long but boy was I wrong. Really helps when you're low on a pack of duracells. I don't know about you guys, but I think that it could be twice as popular as the Nintendo Entertainment System, I'm not lying.

Someone has to use the phone, so I'm going to get off the modem and watch that new Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers show that came out on Fox Kids! It's as good as or maybe better than Inspector Gadget!

SNES

PC master race

but between these 2 id say sega genesis

Get a RETRON 5 & you'll have both systems PLUS a few more in one console.

Genesis oft overlooked gems:
Shining Force 1,2
Out Run
Gunstar Heroes
Contra Hard Corps
Lion King
Castlevania Bloodlines
Streets of Rage 1,2,3
Aladdin
Lightning Force 1,2,3
Vectorman 1 & 2
Road Rash 2
Dune 2
Landstalker
Shadowrun
Herzog Zwei
Beyond Oasis
Star Control 2

Seriously? Who cares about these consoles anyway, if he has a computer? It may be a bit older, but I'd still go with the C64! Just more versatile!

Ouya

It basically came down to Sonic the Hedgehog vs. RPGs... So the SNES wins.

Although the Genesis did have that amazing port of Starflight. Anyone else play that? It was phenomenal.
