and the Saturn the spiritual succesor of the PC engineWho is the spiritual succesor of the Megadrive/Genesis?
I am
The Dreamcast
The N64
>>12001494I think PS1 was the spiritual successor to both the SNES and Genesis. JRPGs, fighting, arcade-style, action, sports, SHMUPs, platformers, racing, etc.That is the reason why Sega had such a hard time with its Saturn.
>>12001513N64 is Atari Jaguar spiritual succesor -64 bits -American architecture (silicon graphics)-cartridge -weird controller-geared towards NA market-lack of third party -library of FPS gamesRayman made for the Jaguar later released in every other consolesRayman 2 made for the N64 later released in every other consoles
>>12001494>Who is the spiritual succesor of the Megadrive/Genesis?PS2. Literally after the dreamcast flopped they developed as a third party for the PS2
>>12001538The N64 was a fucking abomination redditor, over priced cartriges and a fisher price design for ;kid friendly' slop at the time adults used PCs or PS1s
>>12001649Yes, and for the Xbox and GameCube to
>>12001660The PS2 owned that era though and was the primary developemnt and test target for sega the other two were bystanders although the power of the xbox hardware brought it some good ports.
>>12001538>Rayman 2 made for the N64It primarily for the PC it only released on teh N53 at all becaus ethe N64 was in the 'kid friendly' ghetto and Rayman suited it. It was forstly a DOS/Windows franchise. Good games though
>>12001513Only Pilot Wings, Wave Race, and 1080, F-Zero X would be like SEGA games. Everything else is throughly Nintendo.
>>12001649Ah yes the megadrive my favorite Jrpg machine
>>12001769PS2 isn't particularly RPG heavy
You're wrong tranny, it's the PS1 aka the certified cool kids console of that generation.
>>12001494xbox
>>12001771lol?>>12001494>Saturn the spiritual succesor of the PC engineCmon now anon, the Saturn and the mega drive are both arcade port machines
>>12001769Good taste >>12001813Well, I can get the "weeb console that only was popular in Japan"
>>12001813Saturn and PC engine have much more in common>Success in japan international failure>Very anime and otaku centric>Ram expansion for both>The Shmup console of their generation >Great J-RPG library>Erotic gamesMany flagship franchise of the PC engine receive a sequel in the Saturn like tengai makyou
Oh i forgot the Saturn library feel very disjointed from the MegadriveMany flagship franchise didn't receive a sequel in the Saturn (Sonic,SOA,Phantasy star...)+lackluster library of sports games which was a major part of the Megadrive identity
>>12001494>Saturn the spiritual succesor of the PC engineNobody says this
>>12001494>>12001520> the PS1 is the spiritual succesor to the SNESa cd addon drive is not a spiritual successor. that's the only job sony was contracted to do. a cd rom drive forf the snes. it's like saying the nintendo FDS for the nes was the spiritual successor of the NES, despite it only being a fucking disk drive.>and the Saturn the spiritual succesor of the PC engineyeah, you're just fucking dense as fuck.stop smoking fent, you cluesless bastards.
>>12001860Yes people says that
The PS1 is the spiritual successor to the 3DO
>>12001494It's the N64I've been saying thisThink about itA console with games mostly aimed at "mature" teenagers focused around gameplay and multiplayer rather than story, and a lot of sports games too
>>12001494>>12001981All consoles are either Nintendo or SegaSNES is Nintendo, Genesis is Sega, obviously.But get into the 5th gen and things get complicatedPS1 is Nintendo, Saturn is also Nintendo. N64 is Sega.PS2 is Nintendo, Gamecube is Nintendo, Xbox is Sega.
I love the Genesis and hate the N64, don't push that comparison. Genesis is arcade bliss.
>>12001494OP is the spiritual successor of pic related
>>12001494The PS1
>>12002197I wish Mischief Makers was on PlayStation.
>spiritual successorNon-retro buzzword
>>12001860It's really the spiritual successor of the Genesis but it's the closest thing the PC Engine has as a successor.>Lots of shmups and shmup arcade ports
>>12001976The Xbox is the Spiritual successor of the CD-i
>>12002240And Tengai Makyo
>>12001494There isn't one. This much SOVL can't be replicated.
>>12001494>Who is the spiritual succesor of the Megadrive/Genesis?Technically the Genesis itself is a spiritual successor to the System 16.
>>12001494Sony does what Nintendony
>>12002429What's a System 16?
>>12002689Arcade board used to power Altered Beast, which became a Genesis launch title.
>>12001494The Xbox 360. It took a little while.
>>12002739360 is the spiritual successor of the Famicom Disk System.
The PS1 was the japanese successor to the 3DO
NES>SNES>PS1>PS2PC Engine>SaturnDreamcast>Xbox Jaguar>N64Sega CD>3DO>Nec pc-FXGameBoy>GBASega Pico>GameCube For the Megadrive i think the closest is the Dreamcast,return of flagship title like Sonic,great library of sports games,arcade feeling and relative success in NA but flop in japan
>>12003098>flop in japanNot really
>>12003117The Dreamcast is a flop in japan it's sold much more in North America
The PS1 is the spiritual successor to the Mega Drive, not the SNES.>Emphasis on vast third party library instead of very small focused first party library>Fast hardware that punches above it's weight against a 2 year newer Nintendo console>Less focus on simple and childish games, more focus on challenging games with more adult themes>Underdog by a newcomer which became the fan favourite of that generationI never understood the SNES-PS1 comparisons, it's a nonsense comparison.
>>12005026Jrpg station
>>12005082JRPG's became popular in the West with FF7 on the PlayStation though. Nobody cared about any of those SNES ones before then. I heard more about Mega Drive JRPG's like Phantasy Star 4, or the Lunar games on the Mega CD, than I ever heard about SNES Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest or whatever.
>>12003130Sega supported the Dreamcast until 2007 in Japan and it sold better there than anywhere else
>>12001982>PS1 is Nintendo, Saturn is also Nintendo. N64 is Sega.>PS2 is Nintendo, Gamecube is Nintendo, Xbox is Sega.This is retarded but I totally agree.
>>12005026Retard post. PS1 is the spiritual successor of the Atari 5200.
>>12001809That's the closest I can think of. I mean:- both targeted "mature" gamers- both emphasized hardware performance in their marketing- both had lots of PC ports>>12001538The N64 really is like the Jaguar done right.
>>12005123Which is weird because I heard that part of the reason the SMS and Genesis were unpopular in Japan was because they were viewed as less Japanese or "un-Japanese" compared to Sony or Nintendo. Why is this? Is this true?It never made sense to me but then they turned it around in that market with the Saturn and Dreamcast. So what changed? I know the Saturn had a lot of Japanese exclusives and catered largely to their market. Could it really be the games? Because the Mega Drive did indeed have excellent games, a shitload of arcade ports and lots of Japanese exclusives (and non exclusive Japanese games) which were utterly top tier. So what gives?
>>12006329The PC Engine already took up the market for arcade ports, shmups, and CD based games, so the Mega Drive just kinda got caught in the middle. With the PC-FX going a different direction, it allowed the Saturn and Dreamcast to grab that market.
>>12001494Genesis was the normie machine back then, so N64, then the PS2, which was another SGI machine like N64.
>>12006329Sega started out as an American company, back when they were doing electromechanical arcade games in the 50s.>>12007591I thought the PS1 was more of a "normie" machine.
>>12009235*compared to the N64. Should've added that.
