Graphics, dunno. Audio? Not a chance. Taste in music or tunes aside, the Sonic games sound quality isn't as good as SMW.
Trying to buy Demon's Crest on SNES too. Why so bloody expensive?!I am a FREE. I am not MAN. A NUMBER. -

He's reiterating the point that the actual music is better, and pointing out that even though the MD's sound chip may not have been as good as the SNES's, that doesn't make the 'music' worse in comparison. -

Mariopaint was awesome. Are people doubting it? YouTube mario paint music and listen to the symphonies!He could've just said they came from another planet but seems keen to convince people with his bullshit pseudoscience that he knows stuff. I wouldn't trust him with my lunch. - SG

The music in Sonic is absolutely superb. Mario is good too, but it rarely hits the heights that Sonic's does.

Very true. Both systems had so many wonderful games. -

What, that sound quality doesn't make for better music? -

....and there was the fly swatting game!
I think the SNES got the first Dezaemon game - the shmup construction kit - not sure how good it was though.
SNES also had Cameltry aka On The Ball - compatible with the SNES mouse..
Out to Lunch was another nice SNES game the MD didn't have.Holding the wrong end of the stick since 2009. -

I think it was the best 'console war', as it was the most evenly balanced.

I think we can all agree that the Dreamcast won the Ps2 / GameCube war even though it didn't. But it did.

It won my heart

While I could recognise a tune from Sonic I couldn't hum it off the top of my head. Nowhere near the same level.Town name: Downton - Name: Nick - Native Fruit: Apples -

That's the one -
I've just hummed three or four off the top of mine.

Hmmm, I don't quite agree. The SNES was the clear winner, whereas I would struggle to pick the overall best console in later generations. The current gen is the most evenly balanced, I would say.I am a FREE. I am not MAN. A NUMBER. -
Megadrive had great ninja hack n slash games in Strider and Shinobi. The only similar Snes game was Kabuki and that was on Md too iirc. Road Rash was great, gory fun too.
The MD Cpu was much faster than the Snes one, so it was better suited to schmups and intense action games, where the Snes would be more prone to bouts of slowdown and flickering. -

In terms of sales and exclusives.
Both machines were evenly matched, as this thread has proved.

Robocop Vs Terminator gets a special mention for being different on both machines yet pants on SNES *
Sword of Vermillion has been mentioned and I also loved it as a kid, but I think it's aged worse than any other game mentioned in this thread. The boss battles are abysmal now.
El Viento needs more love. Star Control in two player. General Chaos. Mercs. Toejam and Earl has rightly been mentioned, but the sequel was better for me. Twinkle Tale. Shinobi III. Not even close to scraping the barrel yet.
* The word 'pants' can still be used for this particular discussion. -

I've started my list of how many exclusives of each console turn up in too 100 lists.I am a FREE. I am not MAN. A NUMBER.

Perhaps not our top 100 lists though Elf.

SNES also had Hagane - worth a look - but yeah - MD was best at those
I'd give the SNES the nod for platformers, RPGs and puzzle games.
Close re trad shmups - though MD might shave that.
MD got the better deal from EA re sports - though the SNES did have a couple of crackers like Super Tennis and ISS Deluxe - but MD would take that category.
I'd say that the SNES would win the wildcard/misc. category though.
4-3 to the SNES.
What about racing?
MD takes Micro Machines
SNES has F-Zero
MD has Ayerton Senna
SNES has Human Grand Prix
SNES has Unirally and Mario Kart though
