if anything, Nintendo is making it difficult for voice chat, because of the inevitability of a toxic online environment. you have seen with the 3ds that children were sending each other porn and dick pics and nudes, which caused Nintendo to shut down that function. I'm not saying its right, but I think this is some of the reasoning behind this. either way, I'm laughing at Nintendo right now.
Build a library and I'll see if it's worth it. There's usually only a couple of games that appeal to me for Nintendo systems, and 300 bucks is too much of a buy in for a couple of games.
All of the overzealous "fans" that caused the bioware founders to leave the game industry, and unrealistic expectations put on a media that is for entertainment. People want these games to create life experiences. Lol. They are just games.
Recently hooked up both consoles and have been playing them both. To be fair, the snes had the better graphics, and a few classic franchises that are truly great. But hands down, for diversity, fun, and faster gameplay, it's genesis all day. It has so many underrated games that really hold up better than the snes catalog. I can't believe how slow the snes games are. It's like night and day. At any rate, I would definitely choose the genesis hands down.
All of Segas' systems, as well as their arcades and software were ahead of their time. They are the classic case of hindsight is 20/20. I only hope that they can get back some of their innovative ways and come back stronger. Still play all the old systems.
