In my opinion, The Genesis was just better than Snes but it seems snes was the "winner".

Because in the early 90s, Nintendo released all of their games on the Genesis.
Anyway, the SNES was better than the Genesis, in my opinion. Like Luminous stated (and this is rare, because I hardly ever agree with him on anything), the Genesis just didn't have enough to compete with the SNES.
BLAST PROCESSING!!!!!!!!!!!Chisuun said:
It's really all a matter of opinion though. People who liked the games on the Genesis more than the ones on SNES are going to say that Genesis wins, and vice versa. Personally, I prefer the Genesis over the other, but I still enjoy both systems.

It's true that the SNES had superior sound and other capabilities, and its wide selection of games basically does mean it won, as far as I'm concerned. But the Genesis does deserve credit for a lot of the hits it spawned; Dynamite Headdy, Ristar, Vectorman (although I've never played that that), to name a few. Without Rocket Knight Adventures, there'd be no Sparkster, and Rocket Knight Adventures is one damn good game.

A 2d fighting-adventure game where you killed things like zombies, basilisks and giant beasts.
The game has 5 stages (wich are really hard) where you have to find 1 of the 4 of the servants of a bold guy and kill the bold guy at the end, this is in order to rescue Zeus´ daughter, through the game, you transform into 4 very different beasts (Werewolf, Dragon, Bear and Tiger).
It is very cool, but the game feels a little bit too short.

Question number one, what the flak does blast processing have to do with anything?
Genesis had some quality titles, namely the Sonics, Ristar, Vectorman (never beat 2), Warsong/Langrisser, and it also has a more active community of hackers.
SNES had some quality titles as well, any mainstream Mario game, any Kirby game (though Superstar stands out), Star Fox, The Legend of Zelda, Final Fantasy, or the Lost Vikings (Olaf the Stout, thank you) all stand out, but it has a more completionist community of hackers.
Sega took chances with peripherals like the Sega CD and the 32X. Now the games were botched abortions with absolutely no right to touch the Sega Genesis whatsoever, and Nintendo took the chance on the Phillips CD-i. As anyone who played would know, the CD-i was an abomination. Sega lost not because they had worse games, or poorer hardware, but because they jumped the shark and released the Saturn eons ahead of when it should have been released. Then they rushed the Dreamcast.
Honestly, I like them both. Sega ran more on "Killer App, you gotta buy this game right now! And then play it until we say to buy another one!", whereas Nintendo ran on "Yes we have this Killer App, but we also have that one over there, and another there, and one right in your ear," when you buy a game you think you'll hate and then just grow to love, "and we have more coming."
