There was a lot of reasons it failed in the west but I can't help but feel the Nintendo fever played a part in it. --- End quote --- I love mine. I'm a huge shoot-em up fan. But it's still not in the same caliber as SNES or Genesis. BTW, check out TurboViews on YouTube if you're a TG-16 fan or just curious about it. That guy does grade A reviews with great production value for YouTube; and has a genuine passion and knowledge about the TG-16. |

I'm saying the library of the SNES and Genesis in general is better. I said I like TG-16 because I'm a shoot-em up fan. |

Wow, I didn’t think this thread would become another battleground for the 30-year-old 16-bit wars :o I remember people in my high school being vehemently on one side or the other. But even back then I was in the “Why not both?” camp. Who the hell cares about Contra III vs Hard Corps, or Castlevania IV vs Bloodlines, all are good, and the only true winners are US, the players. Anyone who wants to continue the war, I’ll just be sitting over here enjoying my Castlevania Anniversary Collection which includes both CVIV and Bloodlines. |

There's a lot of strong opinions still lingering from 30 years ago. There is no fanboy like a Nintendo fanboy from back in the day, and usually they won't give a single concession towards SEGA for any reason. That sentiment is very common in the US, if you're in Europe however, the Mega Drive was the popular selling console so you're more likely to defend that one staunchly. As I alluded to in my earlier post, if I were forced to pick I'd probably choose SNES, but I think Genesis deserves far more credit than it's often given from fanboys of old. I'll admit I've neglected and discounted it myself in the past. But yeah, no one is forced to choose a side anymore based on which toy our parents bought us, so why are we keeping score over what's better? |
