I'll mention I believe the SNES was more significant overall than the Genesis since it appears to me the SNES library shaped future game development the most in Japan. Consider what lived on after the 16-bit era, what genres/franchises thrived in the PSX/N64 years, and what survived to be around today. I SNES-library offspring all throughout.

But I might not even be half-right about this.

either way revoluton will be more powerful then either sega genesis or snes

You are correct. The Genesis turned out to be the stop gap console while people waited for the SNES.

"BUt heres one for ya to think about, even back then SNES came out almost 3 years AFTER Genesis,a nd it was ONLY slightly better, graphicaly tehre were too close most of the time, colors not withstanding Genesis still had comparable sprite and animation capabilities"

The SNES released in America on September 9th, 1991

The Genesis on the other hand was released in America in August 1989. As you can see, that's only 2 years difference. Please check the facts before arguing a point.

but ages its Iw asnt talkin when they wre released but whent hey were desgined, Genesis came out in late 87 in Japane, tahst when it was FINSIHED. SNES came out latew 91, almost 3 years later, I DID check the facts, you just twisted them.

Reason why genesis was good -> Treasure
Reason why genesis sucked -> Everything else

Reasons why snes was great -> Nintendo, Capcom(they were technically exclusive 3rd party at the time only linsencing a few games to the genesis)
Rare, and Square
Reasons why it sucked -> No "Blazin" Proscessor

seriously the genesis was terrible, it lost in all territories, even in japan it was third to the turbo fx 16, the only good thing to come from sega IS treasure, i'm convinced of that, as i hate most sega games, Phantasy star sucks, sonic sucks, and most things they make just bore me, and you can't compare SF2 for the genesis and snes, because the snes is the more capable system, it was released later and was superior (minus the "blazin" processor)

Chris1 · « **Reply #61 on:** February 19, 2006, 10:42:27 AM »

dont you mean "blast" processing?

animecyberrat · « **Reply #62 on:** February 19, 2006, 02:21:32 PM »

So umgetting back on topic a little bit, hasn't Nintendo reps already confimded that the Revolution isn't going to be as powerful as the others or was it still all speculation? I am still gathering info for my FAQ anbd thats one area I am not finding a whole lot of info on.

IceCold · « **Reply #63 on:** February 19, 2006, 02:38:09 PM »

Well, there have been a lot of equivocal statements made by Nintendo, but no official specs have been released. They've said everything from "specs don't matter" to "it's not what the specs look like on paper, it's what you do with them" to "we might never release Revolution specs, since we don't believe they are significant"

IGN did a feature SPECulating the Revolution hardware, but that's hardly conclusive..

Well you should state what you were talking about.

"BUt heres one for ya to think about, even back then SNES came out almost 3 years AFTER Genesis,a nd it was ONLY slightly better, graphicaly tehre were too close most of the time, colors not withstanding Genesis still had comparable sprite and animation capabilities."

Nothing in that sentence suggests discussion of the design of the systems. You specifically said "CAME OUT" hence, released. Also, you should let others know you're discussing a Japanese release rather than an American release.

Nevertheless, the Mega Drive was released in Japan on October 29th, 1988 according to Wikipedia.com. Thus, still two years earlier than the Super Famicom, which was released on November 21th, 1990. Please don't discuss twisting facts if you bring up the Japanese release of a system, while the American release is implyed within the entire discussion.

If the Genesis was so terrible explain why Sega (until recently) had nearly as much clout in the gaming world as Nintendo? Why were the two companies compared against each other so often? Why does Biggie mention both the SNES and Genesis in "Juicy" if it was not an icon along with the SNES? Why is the Genesis the only system besides the SNES the average person can name that was released during the late 80's/early 90's?

Sega didnt make Treasure. Treasure came to be from a bunch of pissed off Konami programmers that decided to leave. Notice how you're entire argument is based around YOUR opinion. You're opinion is not fact unless it is shared by the general concensus.

Sega did first what Sony and Microsoft did better. It engaged in mudslinging (comparing Mario Kart, MARIO KART OF ALL GAMES, to an old beat down jalopy and it's own games to luxury sports cars), positioned itself as a more "adult" system and angled for a hipper, more modern look than Nintendo's franchises.

good lord, I remember how Sega's main advertising strategy was to pick on Nintendo. if I recall, some of their ads came out and directly said that Nintendo's systems were inferior graphically (Genesis vs NES, Gamegear vs Gameboy), in terms of "edginess", and eventually that theirs was a far better system because games were cheaper. Even as a kid that owned neither companies' system, I thought the mudslinging seemed like a fairly desperate attempt.

An edit and you still can't type correctly *blinks*. Usually an edit FIXES grammar/spelling problems. Might I recommend Firefox and it's built in spell checker. Then again you're so far off, it probably wont recognize it anywho.

And just remind me, what company does Sega now develop for

? Even Sega realized their inferiority when their company TANKED.

This was about the time I got banned originally so I never got to reply to this. Anyways it was stupid of AGES to argue the american release had any signifcance because the HARDWARE specs were already finalised by then so my point still stands.

But I have learned to remain calm since then so I hope I dont stray off track too much.

And for the last fu**ing time get off the spelling. Geez all the damn complainin some people do over spelling and sh*t. Seriously I try by damn best and I type slower now than I used to so back the eff off.

The Omen · « **Reply #74 on:** January 11, 2007, 11:27:56 PM »

Anyone who thought the Genesis was better than the Snes had some big time inferiority complex. Or console envy. And Sega's ads played upon this fact.
