I like Tiger handhelds; I used to have loads of them growing up until one day they were accidentally trashed during a spring cleanup. --- Quote from: Warmsignal on November 05, 2019, 01:08:27 pm --- --- End quote --- I don't believe anyone here was dissing or talking smack about Sega. Quite the opposite, the discussion that took place had no ounce of reproach to Sega and its console. Personally, I think if I were a hater, I wouldn't even be considering getting a Sega Genesis Mini. Granted, I'm trying to get it cheap, but I still want one. I certainly mean no disrespect to you, but I kind of feel that comment came out of left field. |

It's a shame that SEGA does not have a modern console or modern day handheld. I got nothing against SEGA or Nintendo, but yet, why the heck did Nintendo take so long to make a handheld with a colored back-lit screen? and why did the original Gameboy have a green screen? February 2003, marked the vary first mainstream back lit color screen handheld for Nintendo October 6, 1990 is when the SEGA Game Gear came out about 12-13 years before the Nintendo GameBoy Advance SP :-\ |

Did he say the SNES is miles ahead of the Genesis? Yes, yes he did. And so did I, for the sake of transparency (although it's right there for everyone to see). But did he say the Game Boy is miles ahead of the Genesis? No. --- Quote from: marvelvscapcom2 on November 03, 2019, 02:30:06 pm ---But with Gameboy vs Nomad and Gamegear. I'd say it's even worst. Genesis is very debatable. And it dominates a few genres like Sports titles, possibly beat em ups. But with gameboy. Mario Land alone just by and far was one of the greatest handheld franchises of all time. Then Pokemon? Oh lordy lol. --- End quote --- --- Quote from: marvelvscapcom2 on November 03, 2019, 05:44:31 pm ---Gameboy in fairness while a traditional handheld, still probably has a more impressive library than Genesis. It's unfair to compare because one is a console game. But Gameboy had Warioland and Pokemon. Genesis can't touch Pokemon's realm. I don't even think SNES can without a gameboy player attatchment. Pokemon was something special that we will probably never witness again in our lives. --- End quote --- None of these say the Game Boy is miles ahead of the Genesis. One is talking about the competition between the Game Boy and the Nomad and Game Gear. And sure, he says the handheld has an impressive library of games compared to the Genesis, but that's not saying the Game Boy is ahead of the Genesis. Not even in the slightest. This isn't my battle, but I think we need to be fair. |

But there's no denying Tiger was about as cheaply made, and as low effort as you could possibly get back in the day without buying something straight up bootleg. --- Quote ---I don't believe anyone here was dissing or talking smack about Sega.

But quite honestly. Sega was never even close to Nintendo in anything they made. Even with their peak which is the Genesis in most people's eyes. The Genesis isn't even close to the Super Nintendo imo. It can't even sit at the same table. --- End quote --- That's an ounce, maybe even a metric ton. I've seen loads of comments akin to this, if not within this thread, then in others. There are SEGA haters among us, who dismiss and judge the entirety of the company as sub-par or not worthy of their time. To be fair, there's also a lot of unwarranted disdain towards the Xbox brand as well, because in certain circles it's not seen as hardcore enough. I'm just saying there is some fanboy-ism present when discussions of certain brands like SEGA or Xbox come up from time to time. |
