In your opinion, which is better? My choice is SNES. Final Fantasy VI, Super Metroid, and many other timeless games are what make it my favorite system. |

SNES, mostly cause it was the system that really got me into gaming as a child. |

To me it's a kin to comparing Dreamcast to PS2. Same generation but one is a bit newer and has a bit more juice. Yes, the Mega Drive was faster in some ways but the SNES was generally more advance, thanks to it being a bit newer. When it comes to games the same kind of thing applies. Many of the hits on the MD/Genesis came out in the 80s and are generally simplistic. This doesn't mean the system was bad or anything, it's just that devs were still thinking on a simpler 8bit mind set. To me games like Sonic and Altered Beast were just pretty NES games. Over the next few years developers did started making more complex games and by the time SNES came out I think they knew what they were doing. All i'm trying to say is that the difference in hardware makes them hard tricky to compare. I know the Dreamcast-PS2 analogy is kinda weak because in that case there was a bigger tech gap but I think you get my meaning. |

Games are a subjective matter, but the SNES is objectively the better system in nearly every way from a technical standpoint. Actually, forget being sensitive to other opinions, the SNES' library of games is also objectively better~ ;) The SNES had a library of game that many of have not been surpassed to this day, so it's ill-fated rival in it's day had no chance. In my opinion, the SNES & PS2 are in a console tier no other console is ever likely to match. |

Well said. They also had some of the longest lifespans too. |
