Super Nintendo had such a better library of games.

Blah. I disagree. If you want to argue that the top 10 SNES games are better than any Genesis game, fine.

But I think the Genesis has produced more quality titles overall.

I admit, I'm a bit biased, the Genesis is basically my favorite console.

Thing is they were two very different consoles marketed towards different types of gamers. Genesis was much more about fast paced action games that were easy to pick up and play but hard as hell to beat. While SNES was much more about adventure and strategic games that required a little more time and patience.

I love both styles of gameplay. But the Genesis comes out on top for me, it just has more games that I love.

yay! it's like i'm in grade 9 all over again

the only thing that really set the genesis apart in the day was that they released first. then again sega was always hung up on the idea of releasing first. seems that worked out swimmingly for them...

i seem to remember far more kids bugging me to borrow my snes in exchange for their genesis than the other way around.

Dude, I'm not knocking the SNES at all, I love the SNES, it's just as important a part of my childhood as the Genesis is. I just think the Genesis is better, sheesh, can't I have a opinion?

I thought I was the Nintendo fanboy here. And why is it that everytime somebody dares say they prefer the Genesis to SNES someone starts rambling about how the SNES was perfect and how the Genesis sucks and blah blah blah?

The console war is over, SNES might have sold more units, but sales dosen't equal superior quality, I don't care if the SNES had better graphics and sound, or more popular brand name franchises. Those are not the only things that make a console superior. Which had the better games is just personal opinion. I think that the Genesis was more revolutionary personally, since it did come first, and started off the first serious console competition.

your opinion is fine but flawed and skewed

no one is rambling about how the snes was perfect but you did make this claim... anything on the genesis can stand up to the top 10 on the snes...

now a top 100 snes vs. a top 100 genesis then cutting out the filler to see who had the best quality might make for an interesting discussion.

In overall greatness and importance I think it goes like so.

1. NES: Single handedly saved the video game industry and made it into the powerhouse business and pop culture phenomenon it is today. And it has a massive library of classics that no other console can touch.

2. Playstation: Redefined the industry and finally knocked Nintendo off their pedestal.

3. Genesis: Revolutionary for it's time with it's advanced graphics, fast paced arcade style games and crazy new concepts nobody else could compete with.

4. SNES: Took many classic NES franchises and gave them major upgrades, and it had the best RPG library of any console ever.

5. Game Boy: Revolutionized the handhelds, made classic staples like Mario and Zelda portable for the first time. Oh yeah and Pokemon.

6. Atari 2600: The one that started it all.

7. Playstation 2: As much as I hate to admit it, it pretty much won the last gen console war.

8. Game Boy Advance: First handheld to have a truly massive library of quality games that could compete with the home consoles in quantity.

9. Dreamcast: The little console that could.

10.N64: So it only had a few good third party games, so what? This console proved that Nintendo could survive on their own.

You know.... I have to agree with all of those points.

No I didn't, I said you could argue that the top 10 SNES games are better than any Genesis game and I wouldn't necessarily disagree with you.

I just think the Genesis has more good games (that are also exclusives) and while most SNES classics are based on tried and true franchises of the NES era, by comparison Sega didn't have a bunch of big name franchises so they had to start from scratch, many Genesis games were based around more original gameplay mechanics, so they were a bit more fresh to some people.

I did a top 50 list for both, I might expand them into top 100s eventually.

I enjoyed my Gamecube, however I got it for a few specific games, the Resident Evil series, Killer 7, Zelda, and a few others.
