Like aladdin I must be only person who prefers the SNES version. --- End quote --- The Jurassic Park titles were among the biggest differences, then there are the slightly different Street Fighter titles, Ghouls n' Ghosts/Ghosts n' Goblins titles, and the like. Sega also had a Marvel license for a time, which meant that their Marvel games were pretty much guaranteed to be different from Marvel games on the SNES--or exclusive outright. Sega also had a better relationship with EA, who produced their own cartridges, but Nintendo had better relationships with Square and Enix. --- End quote --- Good for the time being maybe lol. I would hardly call sega and EA on good relations they were giving them death frets practically because EA were releasing pirate carts on genesis. |

"Good" in the sense that EA went to Sega rather than Nintendo, and was able to bully them into a better license. GameInformer had a pretty detailed history on how EA got their start, and if you ever thought EA might have been a nice company--it turns out they were always sort of dicks. They reverse engineered the Genesis and told Sega that they either give them a better licensing deal, or they'd release unlicensed games and Sega would get none of the money at all. Yeah, the actual relationship wasn't "good," but for Sega, it was a strength to ultimately have EA on their side. Right up until the Dreamcast. |
