So I've been looking into buying a console, and I wanted to ask you guys which ones you think are better:

  • Super Nintendo Entertainment System
  • SEGA Genesis

Now obviously, the Genesis doesn't have as many exclusives as the SNES, but I like Sonic More. And the SNES has a much more ergonomic controller than the Genesis, and a lot more exclusives. So I'm pretty torn.

EDIT: Oh, and I heard about Nintendo's portable console. Anyone tried that out yet, either? It's slightly cheaper than the SNES or Genesis, but I don't know about the game library.

SNES. Better graphics, better sound, better controller, better overall library.

Honestly the only thing the Genesis has going for it are a few exclusives, and the console still doesn't impart anything special in those cases.

Super Nintendo was a better machine I think, but Genesis wasn't bound by Nintendo blocking more mature games.

I had both and I liked them ~the same

My Pentium II with 256MB of RAM and twin Voodoo2 cards will effortlessly crush either console, and spit on a photograph of its mother.

Come at me...
