>TG-16 is 4th gens Saturn Decent comparison when you really think about it.
Pretty much. They both crutch hard on having been really popular in japan for a while and not much else.
i know they had to redesign it due to electornics standards regarding rf shielding, but the turbo grafx looks so shitty. doubly so when you compare it to the masterpiece that is the pc engine. surely this wasn't the best they could do.
> that filename> the style of the postWait a minute, it's the Sega System retard. Just so you know it actually isn't the Sega System. It's called Sega Master System, since it was rebranded. If you want to pretend to be smart, call it Sega Mark III, like it was originally intended to be.
>>12143060>turbo grafx looks so shittyReally? Yeah the PCE looks better but I don't think the TG looks bad at all. Not having a 2nd controller port is really bad tho. If I had to rank NA 4th gen consoles on looks alone it would go:Genesis Model 1 > TG-16 > SNES >>12143105>Sega System retardNah i think that meme is dumb as well.>filenameI just ripped it from google that all.
>>12143016SNES -> PS1PCE -> Saturn
>>12143259SNES -> N64Mega Drive -> PlayStationPC Engine -> SaturnJust because SquareSoft made a bunch of PlayStation games, does not make it the SNES successor. Mega Drive has far more in common with PlayStation than SNES.

>>12143298>Just because SquareSoft made a bunch of PlayStation gamesAnd Capcom...And Konami...And Namco...And enix...And Irem...And Taito...+The PlayStation controller+The similar sound chip +The same domination Stop being on denial tendies
>>12143298>SNES -> N64I'm sorry lad but at least SNES has games
>>12143334>Emphasis on vast third party library instead of very small focused first party library>Fast, developer-friendly 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 generation>Clear favourite of western developers in both Europe and the USAAll of this describes both the Mega Drive and the PlayStation. The SNES is a bottlenecked piece of shit with only about a dozen games that anyone cares for, most of which are tendie IP's. This is the same legacy as the N64.>+The same domination Not even true, the Mega Drive had a massive lead over the SNES until the Saturn came out and the Mega Drive stopped being Sega's focus.
>>12143298Maybe on Planet Retard.
>>12143298>Just because SquareSoft made a bunch of PlayStation games...and Capcom....and Konami.PS1 feels A LOT like a SNES 2 minus Nintendo games. Capcom barely supported the Mega Drive.>2 Street Fighter against 4 on SNES>no Breath of Fire>a single Mega Man release (lazy NES remakes against half-dozen entries on the SNES)Stuff like Strider, Mercs and Final Fight CD were ported by SEGA themselves.
SNES drones always get so mad when they're reminded that the N64 is their rightful spiritual successor. Always a sight to see.
>>12143359People only bought the smegma drive for Sonic and trash Western shovelware.>>12143364Not to mention it's the same controller layout, but with handles and more buttons.
>>12143359>Emphasis on vast third party library instead of very small focused first party libraryWtf are you talking about?Sega publish more than 160 games for the Megadrive,almost 20% of the entire library
>>12143460>Sega publish more than 160 games for the Megadrive,almost 20% of the entire library>Sega publish>publishLook up that word.
>>12143359>The SNES is a bottlenecked piece of shitthe mhz schizo outs himself
>>12143467>beat em up's limited to only 3 simultaneous enemies>shmup's all suffered from horrendous slowdowns>Treasure was literally founded because Konami developers were tired of dealing with the SNES and wanted to make games on the more powerful Mega Drive instead>SNES became a popular system for JRPG's because it just couldn't handle action gamesYou have no retort.
Started playing Legendary Axe today. Really digging it and can see why everyone thought it should have been the pack in. Something about the TG have a really cool look to them.
>>12143464The % of developed games by Sega for the Megadrive is vastly superior to Nintendo for the SNESThe Megadrive was mostly a Sega+EA consoleThe SNES has Nintendo +almost all third party (+800 games for the Megadrive+1700 for the SNES)
>>12143379>Not to mention it's the same controller layout, but with handles and more buttons.Indeed, it's simply a fact the PS1 feels like a SNES 2.0, and the Saturn like a PCE 2.0 (lots of shmups, Japan-only jarpigs, ecchi shovelware and even other stuff like the RAM cart / Arcade Card for fighting games).The Mega Drive doesn't have a counterpart, it feels somewhat westenized like the N64, but the Mega Drive's library is much more rounded than the N64 one.
>>12143480>(+800 games for the Megadrive+1700 for the SNES)To be fair, including the add-ons the Mega Drive has around 1000 unique games, which is pretty good for the time.
>>12143476>Treasure was literally founded because Konami developers were tired of dealing with the SNES and wanted to make games on the more powerful Mega Drive instead>SNES became a popular system for JRPG's because it just couldn't handle action gamesAnd then Treasure favored the N64 over the PlayStation because cartridges were better suited for action games. Some platforms are better suited for certain genres, nothing wrong with that.
>>12143060they should have used the extra space to their advantage. A TG16 with built-in multitap, bundled with sports games or bomberman would have been a contender at launch
>>12143259ThisAlso, the Genesis is the NES 2
>>12143016>8-bit console>4th gens saturn>>12143026>Pretty muchlmaoit's always great to see the resident pc engine faggot spending an entire thread replying to himself and shilling a trash console very few people outside of japan ever bought.
>>12144492What was the thought process with only having one controller port? I just can't think of a reason outside of some suit thinking they will make a bunch of money on selling multi taps. Also while we are revising history a headphone jack would have been nice as well.
>>12143016No that's so stupid. The pc engine came first
>>12145134Never mind I googled it:>The TurboGrafx-16 only had one controller port primarily due to the original Japanese PC Engine's tiny size and the assumption that most games and players were focused on single-player experiences. The smaller size of the original console made it difficult to physically fit a second port, and since many of its games were single-player, it was a less critical feature. The single port also created a market for accessories like the TurboTap, which allowed for multiplayer gaming and had to be purchased separately.
>>12143259>>12143298PC Engine -> Saturn -> PS Vita
>>12144043>PS1 feels like a SNES 2.0No. It doesn't.
>>12145927Yes. It does
>>12145960Nah.
>>12145927The only people saying PlayStation feels like "SNES 2.0" are the SNES drones who never played much PlayStation. Tony Hawk, Wipeout, Resident Evil, Siphon Filter, Legacy of Kain, Tomb Raider, Oddworld, Twisted Metal, Gran Turismo, Metal Gear Solid, would never be SNES games. They fit much closer to Mega Drive styles.
>>12146343>Legacy of KainLiterally inspired by ALTTP. You third world faggot who doesn't play video games.
>>12147573>Literally inspired by ALTTPDo you have a source for that? I couldn't find any citation, just something about an aborted reboot that was planned many years later with an elevator pitch of "if HBO made Legend of Zelda"
>>12147593https://web.archive.org/web/20190112220750/http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=12434https://www.google.com/books/edition/Atari_to_Zelda/tH3TCwAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&pg=PA203&printsec=frontcoverDon't forget Wipeout, inspired by the designer playing Super Mario Kart while listening to trance music.https://www.timeextension.com/features/the-making-of-wipeout-the-trailblazer-of-generation-playstation
>>12147598Neat!
>>12147573>Literally inspired by ALTTPAnd a thousand times less gay. Legacy of Kain stylistically far more similar to Mega Drive games such as Chakan, Generations Lost, Skeleton Krew, Splatterhouse.>b-b-but the GAMEPLAYIs nothing like SNES Zelda, so a game that is closer stylistically is closer overall.>>12147598>Don't forget Wipeout, inspired by the designer playing Super Mario KartHow much cock did you have to suck before Mario Kart and Wipeout began to look the same?
I know the big hitters but what are some secret jewels on this thing? Picked up a flashcard so I have a ton of non-cd options.
>>12143334>+The similar sound chipIt was straight up the same sound chip, just with higher amount of memory and sampling rate. Designed by the same person even.>+The same domination SNES only had like 60% of the market (and even that only after 1994 when Sega completely stopped focusing on the 16-bit market). PSX was toe to toe with Saturn for... a year and a half, then from 1997 it rocketed to 90% market share.
>>12143379>People only bought the smegma drive for Sonic and trash Western shovelware.yeah like Streets of Rage, Thunder Force, Shinobi, Columns, Super Hang-On, Gunstar Heroes, Road Rash, Toejam & Earl, Ecco...
>>12148445I'm bumping because I want some suggestions. Tried a Jackie Chan game last night. At first it seemed like it would be crap but it turned out actually okay.
>>12143016TG-16 was actually the 3rd gen's Dreamcast i.e. an intermediate system that looked really great for a short time.
>>12148445>>12150602guiz can we get some pcengine recs? please respond
