Are these games really the superior action platformers on SNES and Genesis to MegaMan X and Shinobi 3? Did Konami really outdo Capcom and Sega?

I never played these games but might
>>
skip 4 its not good at all and you dont need to play it, youre not missing anything, thats for sure
>>
>>12157121
Can't talk for Shinobi but never liked megaman's enemy sponges and too much platforming game deisgn, I prefer to get close to enemies and beat them up.
>>
>>12157121
Super Castlevania 4 is good
>m-muh sub weapons
They're still useful
>You can hit enemies without having the engage with them
Only sometimes, the game is still a good challenge later on, but it was deliberately made to be easier to get into
>>
>>12157168
To me it's more about fun than difficulty. MMX is only even kinda hard if playing for the first time or never played MM before, but once you learn it it's a cakewalk. Still very fun game though

>Are these games really the superior
Does it really matter? Pick your favorite, they're all great games with different approachs, play them all.

>not comparing Dracula X to Mega Man X
You had one job.
>>
>>12157121
Yes

There are so many good platformers between both of those systems, you could literally argue about this for years.

No.
>>
>>12157121
bloodlines is pretty bland despite having some cool mechanics but its sequel might be the best castlevania game, it's not an action game though. 4's pretty solid, not perfect but it's consistently decent except for one level. i'd say if you want another one with it play rondo of blood, that game's great.

Stop liking Super Nintendo games, already

I prefer the NES games

Also I could never fully get into Shinobi 3 somehow, I personally rate both CV4 & Bloodlines higher

Auster thread
>>
>>12158628
Not a single game in the OP is a Nintendo game
>>
>>12159016
Auster hates any game released on Nintendo hardware, independently of developer.
>>
The Mega Man X games are garbage but so is CV4 so it's a tossup as to which is better. Bloodlines is better than those but Shinobi 3 is probably slightly better than Bloodlines. Rondo is the better Castlevania of that gen.
>>
>>12157121
Shinobi 3, MMX and Bloodlines are all phenomenal games. It's really hard to rank them DESU. I would put MMX and Shinobi above Bloodlines though but that's tough. They're all so good.
>>
>>12158993
The tendie fears the Auster
>>
>>12157121
Ehh nah, Peak castlevania is 3 and Rondo. But they are quite good, just not on MMX level or Shinobi 3 level.
>>
>>12157793
What's really worth discussing is how bad revenge of Shinobi was. I love all the retro Shinobi games but I cannot stand Revenge.
>>
>>12161676
Not a fan of any company in particular.
Also, imagine fearing someone like auster lmao, probably bullied to death, which is why he turned out the way he did
>>
>>12157121
They're all decent games IMO. However, I like MMX better than Bloodlines. My personal ranking would go something like:
CV4>MMX>Shinobi 3>Bloodlines
Truth be told, it's been years since I've played any of them, so I'd have to give them another spin to really give you an informed opinion.

You should have picked the superior Mega Drive Shinobi game, at the very least.

>how bad revenge of Shinobi was
I get liking 3 over RoS just due to the controls but in no world is RoS bad especially when you take into consideration when it came out.
