Nah, there's still some games that stand out for being technically impressive on 5th and 6th gen. For example Silent Hill 3 is very impressive compared to most PS2 games

If SNES gets to be "16-bit", then so does the PC Engine. Both have 8-bit data buses, and the PC Engine is actually up to 2x faster than the SNES.

I've always loved the look of Castle of Illusion starring Mickey Mouse, on Mega Drive, all of it looks nice, but that part with the spiders, while short, feels so magical to me for some reason.

The music changed during that screen, right? It had this very dreamy, "water drop" sounding music I think. It definitely was special and yeah I love all of Castle of Illusion, real nostalgic gem and highlight of my childhood with games.
Between Capcom and Sega, it's really no competition that 16-bit also got the best Disney games, ever.
>>
>>11107238
Serei Senshin Spriggan specifically, because there are more of them and this is the only good one. For some reason people always just refer to it as Spriggan

It did! It was really dreamy as you've said, truly special. Disney fans were eating good then, it's crazy how we had both Capcom and SEGA doing these titles through the early 90's... the Magical Quest titles were also fantastic, that secret you posted was a pain to do though, but doing it felt so rewarding when I finally pulled it off, a treat all around. The 8-Bit stuff was good too though.

based OP. Thunder Force 4 has the best backgrounds and parallax scrolling ive seen for the 16bit era https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTxduDLCQsQ especially that first stage. looks even better with a good crt filter

I keep hearing good things about the 8-bit Sega Disney games. I really should try them out

it could in theory but rarely in practice
the game you posted is a game that came out when the pce was on deaths door

Indeed, I'd definitely try out the Master System ones, the NES ones are more well known... and I think you should give them a shot too, but it's a shame how the Master System classics often do get overshadowed despite being mostly sublime:

Castle of Illusion starring Mickey Mouse
Deep Duck Trouble starring Donald Duck
Land of Illusion starring Mickey Mouse
Legend of Illusion starring Mickey Mouse
Lucky Dime Caper starring Donald Duck

I'd give the film based ones a shot too, The Little Mermaid isn't as good as the NES version... but I was shocked at how great Aladdin and The Lion King hold up on Master System and Game Gear even today, excellent versions that still play well.

every SNES game has slowdown so i play more recent 2D instead

>>11113208
A bunch of SNES games have had FastROM or SA-1 conversions to alleviate that slowdown.

Try it with Super Mario World sometime, you'll be surprised that even the level clear sequence had slowdown that could be removed.

It's pretty awesome actually. The IR technology it uses is simple and effective, and the aiming is actually super precise, giving it a personal flavor compared to regular light guns.
Also, I would say, while there were very few games that supported it, all of them range from decent to great, I haven't played any real bad Super Scope game.

16-bit is what I visualize when someone mentions "video game" in the abstract. It's the best era of gaming.
>>11116548
The Disney of this time got behind the idea their products needed to be premium entertainment so we got high production value TV cartoons and very high quality video games.

I like Uniracers a lot, Nintendo dipped their toe into publishing western designed stuff around this era (see also, DKC and Tinstar). It also feels very of it's era. Here's some trivia:

>The game will never be re-released as DMA was sued by Pixar because the CG unicycle resembles one in an old Pixar short. Despite this, the cartridge is pretty cheap
>The game has a word filter when naming your files. You can't use various swear words nor can you use the word "Sega" The game will simply let you know that the name is "not cool enough"
>The various circuits in the final game are themed after animals but in development, they were themed after Nintendo characters (Mario, Samus etc). For some reason this is not documented on TCRF but can be seen in the old Nintendo Power Previews Laserdisc store demos.
