This will be the first of many polls on console battles.
Each week with be a new console to duke it out. At the end of this bracket each winner will compete against each other until one console is named king! (or queen.. I guess).
Vote for your favourite system and explain why.

Next week, look forward to a handheld battle.

Snes, no doubt about it, sure the Megadrive had the sonic games, but other than that, I didn't really play many more megadrive games, while there are loads of legendary Snes games. (SMW, Zelda: ALTTP, Starfox, Mario Paint, Mario kart, and many more I can't name)

SNES, I spent many hours play games on it 6-7 years ago, the games were and are awesome, I played Flashback, Mario Kart, Battletoads, Aladin and more I don't even remember.

Oh, and some Mickey mouse game.

Megadrive.
I grew up with that thing.
Street Figher 2 has to be the best fighting game.
Streets of Rage. <OH Yeah
The strike games like Urban Strike and Jungle Strike I think it was called.
And good old Sonic.

SNES had more and better games.  While Sega still represents with Sonic, Shining Force and Zero Wing (somebody set us up the bomb) they are rather outnumbered by all of the SNES classics.

SNES has a lot more RPGs, so it gets my vote.

The snes kicks ass. Remember those good games such as Mario Kart, ToP, Castlevania, Super Mario.. All of those games are what made the snes king. I vote for the snes.

<3 this thread.

RPG players would rename this thread: Phantasy star 4 vs. FF3/6
In this view, I would go for Genesis. P4 rocked and Shining Force series is da bomb!

Game-wise though, snes is better since it does have more fun games while Sega only offered Phatasy, Shining, Sonic and hmm..nothing. Overall, SNES is still better because of games like CT and the Mana series.

BTW, isnt Genesis made waaay back before SNES was created? I mean, Genesis was being compared to NES first..at least thats what I remember.

^ Are you sure you're don't getting confused with the Master System?

NES was released in 1985
Mater System was released in 1986
Genesis was 1989
SNES was 1991

Early Genesis was compared to late NES, but SNES was announced as early as 89. All the above dates were North American dates.

I only ever played one game on Genis and that was Sonic so I'm going with the fact that I've played more games on SNES than many other consoles.

But I seriously doubt you could debate that Gensis was better.

Yeah you're probably right. SNES got more better games like DK3 that totally crushed Sega. Although Sega did still put up one hell of a fight. Shining Force >>> ALLL!!! =P
