    I want to say Sega Genesis just because it had Sonic on it and I played a lot of Sonic, but I clearly remember fiddling with the SNES more for games like Super Mario World and Legend of Zelda. The SNES gets it!

    Another easy one......SNES.

    Genesis had the Streets of Rage games, El Viento, Ristar, Kid Chameleon, Shinobi, Sonic, the Phantasy Star games, Shining Force 1 and 2, the better sports games, and the least censored versions of games like Mortal Kombat.

    But SNES had everything else.
    Xenogears is the tragic story of how your whole life can take a crappy turn, just because you happened to see a lady in a wedding dress before her wedding.

    No Rocket Knight or Quackshot? D':



    Anyway, I also love the SegaCD, and I wish it didn't suffer from the reputation FMV games gave it. There were a surprising number of enjoyable titles on the system no one picked up, and it had the potential for such greatness. T -T

    Frankly the big kicker for me is that the SNES had Uniracers.

    Uniracers was amazing.

    SNES Sparkster was pretty solid; did you enjoy it more than the original?

    The Sega CD was so badass it scared the trout out of Nintendo. They tried making deals with two different companies only for it to blow up in their face. The deal with CDi creating the most infamous Mario and Zelda games of all time, and of course the Sony deal which ultimately led to their demise in the form of the PlayStation.

    I love video game history. I think I know it better than regular history.

    I can't say for certain, but I feel the PC-Engine CD might have been Nintendo's more pressing competitor. It didn't do well over here, but the Japanese market for that thing was pretty terrifying. War in the homeland and all that.

    Oh how I wish I had experienced a TurboGrafx-16 and CD. I would have ate a lot of that stuff up. Especially Ys

    Yeah, I didn't even know it existed as a kid -- or the Neo-Geo for that matter. D: I've explored a bit of the PC Engine since then and there are some titles I'd definitely have loved back then.

    I did. I can't really explain why, either.

    I will say that I liked the soundtrack in RKA a lot more.

    RPG's the SNES had a huge selection of amazing titles. And some decent ones. And a couple trout.

    Also, Killer Instinct as the greatest Fighting game of the generation.

    Genesis, however, did have Toejam and Earl 2: Panic on Funktron. And Comix zone. Best Genesis games right there.

    SNES wins it easy.

    This wasn't even a contest, SNES definitely.

    My first console was a Nintendo that was technically my brother's, but my dad saw that I loved it so much so he gave it to me and then also bought my brother and I each our own SNES. Most of my gaming memories come from the SNES and they had the best games back then. I loved Sonic, but nothing compares to the glory days of Nintendo.

    I love this game. It's available to play on PS2 on the Sega Collection and probably other consoles too.

    IDK why Nintendo went away from the deal w/ Sony, but I know their Panasonic deal went belly-up because of how the Sega CD didn't take off as expected.

    As sort of a peace offering for breaking the deal, Nintendo allowed CDi to have license to use some of the Nintendo characters for their own system.

    Imagine how powerful they'd be if they'd have stuck it out with Sony
