I prefer the SNES to the Genesis, but I felt the need to praise the Genesis above for having some great games.
Hopefully this doesn't spark a massive console war. Both consoles have good games on them. The SNES "won" that war in the USA, and James is an idiot for dismissing the Genesis, but hopefully it's been long enough that everyone can look back and appreciate each console for their games. I can't play Streets of Rage 2 on SNES and I can't play Chrono Trigger on Genesis.
Also, I just have to give props to Sega for being super cool about releasing their old games on multiple platforms. It certainly opened the world of the Genesis up to me and probably a lot of other people, especially since the collections were such a great value. Nintendo looks like Scrooge McDuck by comparison, nickle and diming for every single fucking game. Some shit from 30 years ago might cost you $10 apiece STILL, and you can't roll it over from the WiiU to Switch, etc.
