Genesis had the better D-Pad, and the Multiplats were better. Like Aladdin, Jurrasic Park, Mortal Kombat, and Street Fighter 2.

Also, if you notice, the SF4 Controller is more similiar to the Genesis than the SNES layout, because fighting games were just better on the Genesis.

Anyway, these aren't the only reasons why the Genesis is better. It's also because the games weren't censored and Sonic was more impressive than Donkey Kong Country back than.

Thoughts?

I remember the D-pad on the Genesis being shit.

I also remember Jurassic Park being better on the SNES (though JP on Sega was my favorite Genesis game).

Finally, Donkey Kong Country was by far more impressive than Sonic, though I played Sonic 3 more than any DK game.

I liked my SNES much more, but I've been a Nintendo fanboy since the age of 3, but I had both systems so I really can't say a bad thing about either of them.

Jurassic Park for the Genesis was far superior. You could play as a raptor and eat people, not to mention, it was an amazing platformer. The SNES version was weird with it's topview and was nowhere near as fun.

As for the D-Pad, the SNES was way too stiff. The Genesis was perfect though, because it had a D-pad with a Circle around it, so there's more durability.

And Sonic still plays and looks amazing today. As for Donkey Kong Country, it was impressive, but Sonic was just way more fun imo.

FINALLY, someone on Giantbomb tells the TRUTH!!! Genesis is better than SNES. MK STILL sucks on any Nintendo console and it started with the 'spit instead of blood' port of Mortal Kombat 1. What a moron the US Nintendo president was. Also Genesis' first party>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>SNES' first party. Sonic The Hedgehog 2 is better than any Mario game and still has the best level design out of any game ever made AND is still the Greatest Platformer Of All Time. SNES had many great games but Sega's/Sonic Team's were just plain better such as Phantasy Star (my personal favorite turn-based RPG), Vectorman, Altered Beast, Streets Of Rage/2, Shinobi, and Golden Axe!!

Sonic has always been the shit (in a good way, people).

Unless you count some of the horrible Sonic spin-offs (pun intended), they were all great games.

This is true, Sonic 1 2 3, CD, Pinball and Sonic and Knuckles were great games.

Classics

It's really hard for me to pick sides now, 15 years after the SNES and Genesis were actually competing. Especially since I absolutely adore both consoles.

Now that I am a more seasoned gamer, I'll say that the SNES vs Genesis war is a draw.

Both consoles contributed too much to gaming to pick a winner of that generation.

Whoa, that was an intelligent post. I used to have some respect for you but I made a mistake and thought you had more brain cells than that. My bad.
