I was all about the Mega Drive and Sega (until Sega took a mega dive :p), my bros had a SNES for Christmas and although I was resistant to it at first, it has to be said that it holds up better out of the two. I loved Sonic 2 but Super Mario World was the better game (took me years to admit that) and Sega had no answer for games like Star Fox, Super Metroid, F-Zero, Donkey Kong Country, Killer Instinct or Super Mario Kart. Mind you Nintendo had no answer for Streets of Rage, Ecco the Dolphin, Gunstar Heroes and Sega's arcade conversions.

It was great having access to both consoles and for me it really was the best gaming generation yet.

Both are amazing systems with ridiculously brilliant libraries, along with the amiga 600 I had made this my favourite generation ever.

I owned both, and both together fit my gamer needs 100%. This was also the first time I had to look at other areas of gaming outside graphics, and even today I still boot these up on occasion since all I have to do is put in cartridge, turn on, and start playing - not wait for patches/updates.

Same with N64 and PS1; owning both filled the gaps in what is considered good experiences.

SNES hands down, so many great games.

The Genesis was the first home system to truly give the arcade at home experience. It did release about two years earlier than the SNES so it wasn't as technically impressive but it could still hold its own even after the release of Nintendo's system. At the time Games like Strider, Ghouls and Ghosts and Sonic the Hedgehog were literally jaw dropping. The fact it gave Nintendo such a run for its money is a testament to the constant quality it achieved at so many levels.

I always will be a Sega guy. Genesis for the win :)

I enjoy both!

Had both. Saved my butt off for a Japanese import megadrive as a kid with three paper rounds!? Then got a SNES at launch. Both were great but SNES for me any day. SFII for a start. And those controllers!? So good. I just feel bad for what they did to the US version of the machine!? What were they thinking!? 🤣😂🤣

This question is laughable for anyone who either... A) Owned a SNES or B) Owned Both.

Only someone who exclusively owned a Megadrive/Genesis could think it was better than the SNES.

Winner: SNES by a f--king mile. It's not even close.

Only Sega Genesis has Blast Processing. Super Nintendo doesn't.

Game. Set. Match.

Welcome to the next level.

Both!! Plus TG-16

EA Sports games like NHL Hockey and MADDEN FOOTBALL made SEGA GENESIS my preferred console!! But SNES had great games also, listed in comments above me . Both consoles had awesome video games!

used to own both,never liked snes,none of their games were my kind of games and to me those controllers sucked,so i sold it and still to this day the word nintendo makes me want to puke

Snes for me.

The SNES mode 7 graphics plus nintendo exclusives games.

snes greatest system of all time they had my fav ff6 as well as crono trigger, super metroid, best version of street fighter2, castlevania 4, contra3, mega man x series, best version of mk2 damn near arcade perfect, earthbound, mariocart, zelda 3, f zero, donkey kong country series, secret of mana. the graphics and sound on the system in general was better.

I had both consoles back in the 90s, loved both. But I preferred Genesis (or Japanese MD2) as my favorite console slightly more.

Both were amazing systems but Genesis for me.

It's close, but SNES for me. To me nothing on Genesis is quite as good as Super Mario World or A Link to the Past.

Both are better.

SNES for sure, that RPG library is still one of the best.

Tell me again how the multiplatform strategy was supposed to fix everything. Look at your results and compare them to Nintendo, which keeps thriving with exclusives. Your loyal fans are gone. And let’s not forget the pile of IPs you purchased only to let them rot.

The worst thing is this is down from last years numbers/expectations which was down from the previous years numbers/expectations. You think about how long “down” has been a consistent part of the communication and you realize those subscriptions are what’s holding that boat together. The price cut of gamespass is still a price raise in a string of price raises. They are trying to use players to offset the missing revenue. Now call of duty is out of gamespass, which is literally WHY they bought the company. To draw people to the subscription. They realized they missed a boatload of money and that wasn’t sustainable. Now you pay for it like you would have if they never bought the company… so why buy the company? Mind you those billions still need to be paid back. Yeah it gives you a chance to say we make the biggest FPS… but the internal conversations must be brutal at high level on topics that really matter. Like revenue. Profitability. And ROI for the shopping spree.

Is this like the 10th quarter in a row they're down 33% on hardware how is that even mathematically possible. You would think their mediocrity would Plateau
