The more I play this, the more I realize Sega was made for stupid people. All of it is about action and speed. Stuff that required no patience, but just mashing buttons over and over again. I truly believe that you have to be dumb as shit to have preferred Sega to Nintendo.
>>12545940As a kid who had a Sega I can confirm, never played any of my Genesis for more than 30 minutes and would get bored quickly, then I got a n64 and PSX and boy those were actual games that lasted like weeks or more, give away my sega and all the games and still don't miss them or care.Years later when I got my own pc I emulated Snes and nes just out of curiosity and I was surprised to find out they too had actual 20 hour long games with actual worlds to explore thar I would have loved way more as a kid than the 20 minutes time wasters of the Genesis
>>12545951Why are you comparing a 16 bit system to the next generation?
>>12545957I also compared it to it's own generation and the previous one
>>12545940>BLAST PROCESSING>GENESIS DOES WHAT NINTENDON'T>SEGATA SANSHIROno shit, they both had the most retarded marketing too, no wonder they attracted dumb kids (and did very well in america)
>>12545940Other way around. Intellectuals such as myself a self proclaimed genius prefer fast paced games that don't waste our time because we have far more important things to do. Having a quick session in between study times and checking the stock market are far more valuable than slow DVD menu simulators like Final Fantasy.
>>12545968Mega Drive out sold SNES in Europe. Better sound, better graphics style and a number of games that were either exclusive or the better version of the game
>>12545985>b-b-but they won in europe!And globally Sega lost every single generation they participated in
sega kids i knew were edgelords, only child, jocks, or minorities. i got one pretty late (1993 i think) and i asked for it for christmas specifically to play mortal kombat with blood. so file me under edgelord. my brother also got the sega cd for it.
>>12545940>Stuff that required no patience, but just mashing buttons over and over againIt's the opposite. Sega was great for people who liked arcade games since it was an arcade developer. And in order to beat arcade games you need to have a lot of patience. Nintendo fanboys were mostly just playing RPGs and platformers. I was playing shit like Afterburner 2, Super Hang-On, Alien 3 etc
>>12545991But they didn't deserve to. The main reason SNES out performed Genesis in the US was because American mommies were still in charge of buying the consoles and they thought everything was Nintendo so just bought the Mario machine. In Japan, Sega made the effort to start giving them RPG's for the next generation so it wasn't so western and the Saturn out sold the N64 as a result. Dreamcast was far ahead of its time but by 1998 Sega were already internally talking about going third party because they had run out of money.Sega proved in back to back gens they could beat Nintendo in two very different territories.
>>12546008SNES didn't even outsell Genesis until years after the Saturn was out. They won the 100m dash after everybody else moved onto the next event.
>>12546008>but it wasn't they didn't deserve it>master system is just a piece of shit with no games through and through >genesis has no complex games and despite doing good Sega decided it needed two useless add ons because it was too weak >Saturn was a shitshow with no Sonic mainline game to appeal to their loyal genesis fans and a large majority of games got stuck in Japan because SoA knew it was a failure >Dreamcasr was dead on arrival due to the Saturn being so shitThey deserved it
>>12545940No, no, go ahead, tell us the names these Nintendo games for smart people.
>>12545940It was the OG Xbox of it's time. For dudebro chads who wanted hard games where you just slash, crash and shoot things and didn't care about games being "lifechanging" or having "artistic merit"

I miss the old janny.
>>12546053SOA had massive stockpiles of consoles they ordered in fucking 1995 with the delusion that they'd still be able to sell them at 1992 level of demand.
>>12545940Which were these SNES games that required patience? Did it even have a point-and-click adventure?
>>12546205there was also a SCD port of Monkey Island
>>12546090at least he deleted frog and Wojak posts
No duh, who else would buy educational consoles?
>>12545991>And globally Sega lost every single generation they participated inthey were outselling the SNES up till 1995 when Sega pretty much lost the plot. Nintendo kept selling the SNES for several more years, eventually outselling the Genesis. It's the same as how the PS3 eventually outsold the 360, despite nobody actually buying the PS3 in 2006-2010 (it cost so much you could get a Wii and a 360 both for the same price).
>>12546053Those consoles were returned because Sega of Japan ordered SoA to start going full retard, which resulted in EVERY retailer getting pissed off and returning the consoles and games.
>>12546172Tom Kalinske thought they could drag the Mega Drive out to 1998 for fuck's sake.
>>12545940>All of it is about action and speed.play Shadowrun, trollb8er. and ban urself
>>12545940Wait, this bait thread is actually getting a ton of replies? Is this the state of /vr/ in 2026?
>>12545940The funniest thing about this argument is that the Mega Drive and Mega CD had the better selection of RPG, strategy, and simulation games and it wasn't even close. SNES drones can't even win on their own terms.
>>12546642They really fucking don't, you have some awful pc ports and pretty bad DQ clones

>I'm smart because I play nintendo
>>12546940Phantasy Star II
I had a sega and snes, both were gifts. I liked streets of rage 2 (which came with the console) and that’s it. I had Nintendo power so I knew what nintendo games were but sega games I had to go in completely blind. The only other kid I knew who has a sega, and the only Saturn I had ever seen out in the wild, got arrested for joy riding.
>>12545940You havent made a strong argument for your own intelligence
>>12545940Nintendo is for pedophiles and the only good game they made themselves was Metroid My taste is better than yours and I beat the shit out of you in school
>>12545940>actiion and speed is... LE BAD.Are we being serious right now? That's ridiculous.Also, something being action focused and about speed doesn't mean it was all about mashing buttons, often it meant you needed to have quick reflexes, and the arcade direction often meant they were difficult titles focused on trial and error, which in their own way required patience in their learning and getting better after failing multiple times, that's all.
>>12547087Oh I emulated the Genesis as an adult and it is still a piece of shit with no games despite having the whole fucking romset, I don't know why people hype it up, I guess they were kids easily impressed by the dumb marketing which I missed, as such I wasn't brainwashed to think the blue rat was cooler than nintendo, which I didn't even know what the fuck was nintendo until later, maybe that's why I don't give a fuck about it despite owning one as a kid
>>12546005Yup. Genesis games actually take some level of discipline and skill to reach the end of. Some NES era games aside, anyone can beat a Nintendo game. They’re retard proof.
>>12545968You forgot the British Sega ageS ads which were uniquely low energy and low IQ but pushed harder than egg theming, a national standard at the time.But generally the MD/Genesis was fine if filled a niche the SFC/SNES didn't fill.
>>12545940Sega games were high concept, but easy to pick up and play, and meant to be more temporary. It went for more climatic higher highs. Nintendo games were more basic in concept, but would try to get you to come back and play it more another time, little progress. Slow and steady. Sega games were like movies, SNES games were like TV shows.
The NES and PS1 were generalist systems that could do fast or slow games, in the 4th gen the difference was split between the Mega Drive and SNES, but Japan vastly preferred the latter as the console market there had switched heavily to slow games in the middle years of the Famicom.
>>12545940>Sega was for the low IQ>I keep playing this
>>12545940Just depends on the individual games. Sonic 1, Revenge of Shinobi, Shinobi 3, Streets of Rage trilogy, Hard Corps, Bloodlines, Shining Force were all great. But on the whole, SNES had a way better and more expansive library; Genesis just barely edges it out in the action category, while SNES blows it away in terms of platforming, strategy, and JRPG.
>>12547572>But on the whole, SNES had a way better and more expansive library; Genesis just barely edges it out in the action category, while SNES blows it away in terms of platforming, strategy, and JRPG.Then again, The Ooze, Garfield: Caught in the Act, Boogerman, and The Incredible Hulk aren't on the SNES or the SNES version is inferior.
>>12547576Nigga here bragging about booger games and fucking Garfield
>>12547576>Garfield: Caught in the Acteveryone knows the PC version is the definitive one and the Genesis game is inferior to it
>>12547572Jarpigs aren't real games though.
>>12547572the unfortunate part is that a lot of the greatest SNES games never got released outside Japan
>>12547572Shining in the Darkness is better than any SNES dungeon crawler.
>>12547576none of these games are good though
>>12545940zoomer hot takes
>>12547486No one cares what an Americunt thinks. You are low IQ compared to the bong, and you always have been. You're not supposed to let spastics lecture students in universities, or anywhere else, for that matter. Why do you think it's any different here, mong?
>>12546205Pacman 2
OP here, man you guys are so easy to bait lol:^)
>>12545940This is an uncomfortable truth
>>12545940False. Preferring Sega over Nintendo has nothing to do with IQ. Nintendo has a bad habit of censoring games. Sega didn't. That's why Sega Genesis got games like Splatterhouse 2 exclusively. Meanwhile Nintendo censored Mortal Kombat 1 and look at how that turned out?The reality is that all the COOL kids preferred Sega. While all the dorky beta males(you) preferred Nintendo. Don't believe me? Look at any youtuber who does Sega Vs Nintendo videos such as Console Wars or Gamesack(before the balding Nintendo co-host left).I even compared myself(a Sega fanboy) to AVGN and the difference is night and day. He's a balding Nintendo fanboy who dresses like a complete dork. I still have all my hair and I have a hot redheaded girlfriend. I dress like a rebel with my biker style leather jacket.The point? Sega fans are usually Chads. Nintendo fans are dorks.

>>12553553Nah, it was mostly cool kids(regardless of color). Only dorky beta males like you owned Nintendo.
>>12553553>>12553561It was mostly poor people >t.poor with poor friends with genesis
>>12553569You obviously never been rich or have rich friends. I'm middle class, so I had all the consoles(NES, Sega Master System, Genesis, SNES, PS1, Saturn, N64, Dreamcast, PS2, Gamecube, Xbox and PC). My friend however is very rich and he loved Sega, he has every single console and game in existence. I dropped my jaw and wish I had parents like his.
>>12545940well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.avi
losers: genesiswinners: mega drive
>>12555802They both lost
>>12545997They were the black kids who only had sports games. Not even Sonic 2. Just a ton of basketball and football games.
>>12558020You realize you american sissies were the minority right? Everyone in the world had Sega. Only american whitey and japanese cared about Super Nintendo
Take the gaynesis and shove it up your ass you siggers

heyyy OP hows the tendies

>>12558161GEG it do be like that
>>12558029The snes sold more, guess thirdies don't buy shit like the Genesis either
>>12558997Gaming wasn't as big back then outside of US/Japan. But the rest of the world still made their choice and it was the correct choice
>>12559001So their choice was not buying videogames, got it
>>12559003Casual Sega kino whilst going outside, yesAmerichuds had their kiddyshit
>>12559008But the majority didn't buy anything? You would think the third world being bigger would mean more sales but I guess poor people don't care about videogames unless it's the cheapest product
>>12559014>buying video games newLol. Even I bought Megadrive games used and this was in fucking 1996 or something
>>12559025>I was poor!Exactly, for how "big" was the Genesis in the third world, cheaper famiclones were bigger because surprise surprise they are poor people doing poor people choices
>>12559030>cheaper famiclonesThere was some stuff like that, but not that much yet. That's more of a 2000s thing
It only seems like this if you are judging the games by playing them once. Sega are arcade developers, the games were all designed to be completed in one sitting and replayed over and over again to improve your skills. They reveal more and more depth over the course of multiple runs, whereas most Nintendo games are designed around making sure the first playthrough is as satisfying as possible, and have little to offer beyond that. Outside of Super Metroid and Yoshi's Island, Genesis games are a lot more fun to master.
>>12558035t. Fat ugly balding Nintendrone
>>12545940SNES got Mystic Quest, a game explicitly made for dumbies. You cannot come back from this.
>>12560060Most SNES games are made for dumbasses. It's a console for children after all. Sega was for teenagers and adults
>>12558035>siggersLmfao

>>12560579It's on the SNES too but that one isn't as good.
>>12560579It's pretty goodThis is the SNES version tho, i gave up on megadrive after enduring so long the sea of random garbage (this one's my fault, i should've stuck to the classics)and that weird farty/bitcrushed soundchip.I'm a basshead and it really bothers me>>12560585Who cares, not everything in life has to be 100% optimallet me play a garbage game about being a disgusting piece of garbage in peace
>>12560527>I'm actually surprised there aren't many sega drones drooling with rage in an obvious ragebait threadContrary to OP's assertion, Sega fans are smarter than SNES drones and know how to avoid or counter obvious ragebait.>I think this board is transitioning to nintendoTry making a pro-SNES thread and you'll see how that turns out.
>>12560527>American humor
>>12545940I had Genesis and SNES as a kid and I sold the genesis. The two main games I had for it were Haunting and Jungle Strike. Every time I picked up another game it was depressingly mid. The 3 button controller was dumb and it felt like an eternity for them to develop the 6 button. Genesis was a machine for normies. People who didn't play games a lot and were easily bamboozled by flashy graphics in tv ads. The type of people who would actually buy games based on movies because the movies were popular.If most of your Vidya experience as a kid was squeezing in 30 minutes after school and your library was small and consisted mostly movie IPs and sports games with a few random platformers sprinkled in, you were a Genesis kid. Maybe you branched out and picked up Streets of Rage 2.It's kinda funny because the genesis library feels like step down from the NES and even the Master System had cool odd ball titles front and center which showcased the diversity of its library. But SoA put the slop front and center with the genesis.If you like NCAA, Madden, FIFA and NHL you probably played them on Genesis. If those were actually your favorite videogames, you probably never played videogames much at all. (Admittedly NHL was superior on Genesis in terms of sound and speed, and we all played Mortal Kombat 1 on Genesis for the blood code).Anyway The Master system, NES, and SNES all had hidden gems in their libraries the bent genres and pushed the industry and the art forward, (Wonder Boy and Alien Syndrome were awesome experiences)- and they also mainstream titles across all genres. But every single hidden gem on the Genesis turns out be mid. Even Crusader if Centy turned out to be a B-Grade Zelda clone. The PC engine did it better with Neutopia. The people who say the Genesis version of Shadowrun is superior to the SNES version are on drugs.All worthwhile games on the Genesis were multiplatform titles where the sega port happened to be superior (quite rare)
>>12561894>All worthwhile games on the Genesis were multiplatform titles where the sega port happened to be superior (quite rare)In the case of Garfield: Caught in the Act it wasn't even the Genesis version, it was the PC.
>>12561894>If most of your Vidya experience as a kid was squeezing in 30 minutes after school and your library was small and consisted mostly movie IPs and sports games with a few random platformers sprinkled inthe SNES had tons of shitty licensed and sports games too
>>12561894>The 3 button controller was dumb andit made sense for the time when the console came out
idk, somehow Sonic just never moved me and i don't know what it is
>>12561963Doesnt count when SNES had Capcom, Konami and Square enix
>>12564450B-but sega had Electronic Arts!!!
RPGs are for idiots. Any retard can beat an RPG if they grind long enough. Well-designed action games require more intelligence.
>>12545940>All of it is about action and speedAre you implying this is a bad thing? You’re some rpg playing subhuman, aren’t you?
Do platformers, shmups, or action games require any intelligence?it's just endless repetition and memorization, any sub 60 IQ human can beat these games with enough repetition
>>12566447On the other hand you need some brain power to beat an RTS game or a tactical turn based JRPG, no amount of repetition for trillions of hours will help you here if your IQ is subpar
>>12545940To me, it was always seemed obvious >3 buttons?
>>12545957Sega did in their “Genesis does what Nintendon’t” ad campaign. Turnabout is fair play.
>>12564450sega had capcom and konami too you fuckin retard
>>12547596
>>12566447Anons here have autism, they enjoy overly-repetitive and simplistic games and rote learning, I can't imagine them playing an actual good game like Dwarf fortress with infinite depth and complexity instead of their Pac man-ish games.
>>12561894>The people who say the Genesis version of Shadowrun is superior to the SNES version are on drugs.There's literally a thread on this board right now about how much the Super NES version sucks ass (and it kinda does, but you don't really notice it until you're halfway through it, then it's just a slow downward spiral of quality until the ending).
Sega is everything wrong with the 90's videogame scene
