Which one is your favorite? Rank their libraries.

Snes > Mega Drive > PC Engine

SNES > GEN > PCE overall.

But it depends on the genre, PCE is #1 for shmups, SNES is 3rd.
>>
Mega Drive beats PC Engine, but it's closer than you think. SNES is only really good if you like the Nintendo games.

cute pixel art

Who actually plays libraries? I just play individual titles for whichever.

They are all 10/10, the main weakness is they all can only hold around 2048 tiles which showed in later arcade ports but limitations can also enhance creativity too.

>>12030208
agreed

>>12030490
>2048
Isn't the PCE's hard cap 4096 though?

I must have read it wrong, I was thinking how 16 bit systems didn't improve on 8 bit that much. Typical 8 bit systems can be around 384 but sometimes up to 512 so about 8 times. Its in the pce dev docs or archive.org.

Depends on the genre.
>shmups?
PCE > SEGA > SNES.
>jarpigs?
SNES > PCE (if you speak japanese) > SEGA > PCE (if you don't).
>sportslop?
SEGA > SNES > PCE.

Etc.

Super NES
9/10 – It isn’t particularly weak in any popular genre of the time (FPS games aside).

Mega Drive
8/10 – Similar to the SNES, it’s decent even for RPGs when you factor in Mega CD games like Lunar 2. However, there’s far too much Western shovelware, the SNES has plenty of japanese shovelware, but japanese shovelware at the time was usually around 3/10 or 4/10, unlike the 0/10 or 1/10 western shovelware like Sword of Sodan, Dark Castle, or Indiana Jones: Instruments of Chaos.

PC Engine
7/10 – An underrated platform, but its library is less balanced compared to the ones above.
>>
I guess the SNES, but honestly, all three of them are great.

She's next to a bunch of Puyo characters so she is probably from there.

Yeah, good point.

PCE > MD >SuFami.

EOPs need not apply, thinking you can give an opinion on the PCE's library because you've played a couple of shmups and Bonk is like saying the PS2 is crap because you only owned a copy of Imagine Babies.

What's your top 10 PCE games that aren't shmups then?
In PCE threads, it's always Rondo of Blood.
I guess you will list stuff like Far East of Eden and Ys?
>>
>>12035156
I've never cared for Ys, but sure, TM1 and 2 are great. Linda3 is even better, I think the PS1 version has a translation now? Neutopia 1 and 2 are fun, Dragon Slayer 1 and 2, Emerald Dragon, Shockman 3, Xanadu 2.
