Exactly what it sounds like: SEGA Genesis vs Super Nintendo. Where do you stand on this 90's cool kids topic?! GO!!!

Loved the hell of the Sonic games on Genesis, and eventually found myself being a pretty big Dreamcast fan, but the SNES has always been a timeless mainstay.
I've been revisiting a few of the classic SNES RPGs that I somehow missed out on all these years (Chrono Trigger, etc) and I've been having a blast!

The SNES killed it for RPG's in the mid 90's, especially before the PS1.
Genesis for shoot-em-ups/fighters, SNES for RPGs.

I had the Genesis but Snes was probably better innovation. the smarter kids had SNES it seemed. But I wasnt a smarter kid so I had Sega and liked it better than Nintendo

Most games were made for SNES and adapted for Genesis. The 3 button controller fucked everything up.

The Genesis 3-button was the most worthless piece of plastic once Mortal Kombat II hit homes. The 6-button improved everything. After market 6-buttons had Turbo/Slowdown, which was fun for shooters.
I'm one of the few that don't mind the SNES controller for fighters, especially the later MK entires. I destroy MK3/UMK3 on the SNES. Very hard, Master ladder, GO.

Never found any Genesis exclusive games I was that into. I got a disc for 360 that had a bunch of Genesis games on it and didn't end up playing anything on there too much. There were a couple of RPGs that didn't really grab me. The Sonic games were an innovative take on the platformer thing but I don't have that much patience for them really, rather play a Mario game.
I think one of the best games for SNES is Demon's Crest.

Personally we had a sega in our house but as a jrpg lover i ended up becoming a Nintendo lover. To this day i still think Sonic is a better side scroller than Mario Bros, but Super Mario World is a whole different ball park though, This was Nintendo's golden area and even though Sega came out with some really good shit, Nintendo didn't care because it was too busy being God.
I miss the rivalry between systems from back then. Back then it was an even fight and more powerful graphics actually mattered. CD rom or cartrage? Which console is for kids and which i for adults? Now it's all secret who's got the most powerful system and oh my god one company made their upcoming controller a little bulkier! The hype is advertised to be as big but no one but nerds really care.

I only had an SNES, so I'm not objective. I wanted a Genesis, as well, though, because Sonic looked like so much fun.
Games costed like $80 for SNES back in the days, at least where I lived. There were no "Greatest Hits" games for $20, let alone eBay. So my parents only ended up getting me a total of 2 games for the SNES... Mario World, which came with the console... and then a Tiny Toons game and Mortal Kombat 2. I rented a couple games, though, from Wherehouse, like Clay Fighters, Killer Instinct, Street Fighter 2 Turbo, MK3, Earth Worm Jim, 7-11 Spot game, etc. Lots of great memories with SNES.

I had the Genesis and my neighbor had the SNES so I had the best of both worlds. I had a great time with the Genesis, but looking back the SNES had perhaps a better catalog of games. Although, I think Sonic 2 is one of the best games ever made and for some reason Mortal Kombat was just better on the Genesis.
Also, Lion King was pimp.

I think there's still competition, but it's mainly between Sony and Microsoft.
Nintendo really carved out a great niche for itself by cornering the portable market.
Console wars are best when Nintendo has competition. But since it doesn't, it's still selling 3 year old games for full price, and it has no pressure to fix Joy Con drift problems or user interface. Third party developers are also charging more for their games, because they know they can. You have no alternative for current gen portable gaming.

That's really cool.
I had a friend in my neighborhood, whose dad would get him all the games. So he had like 50 SNES games. But he wouldn't let me borrow any. Strangely, he never got the Genesis. He probably could've, if he asked for it. He had the kind of parents, where all the children just made a list of everything they wanted on birthdays and holidays. Hell, his dad would surprise him with games even when it wasn't a birthday or holiday. It was a completely mindblowing concept to me, because I was lucky to get one game every two years.

I had to vote Sega just because it was the first to pop in my mind, but they were both amazing and gave me a lot of good times. Still have a SNES but don't have the Sega anymore

LMAO I grew up with the Genesis, neighbors had SNES, cousins did too. A couple lucky kids had both. Usually the ones that had older siblings.
GameGear battery life was shit.
