SNES and Genesis/megadrive exclusives?
-
Ohhhh god. Where to begin? I would be easier to think of titles that weren't "exclusive." Their libraries were so different.
-
I don't want to look condescending, but...

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=super+nintendo+exclusive+games
First result on both gives you the Wikipedia page will all exclusives. This is probably the best lists, too, so it should help!

James Pond for Sega is one that I think of first. And The Revenge of Shinobi, as well.

Yep, Wikipedia has the best lists for exclusives for those two systems and their accuracy is very high, so you're pretty much set there when looking for games.
-
The only thing about those lists is that they don't include some of the games that I would consider console exclusive if they were released later as ports on other systems, or on virtual console. Legend of Zelda, Earthbound, Super Mario World, Super Metroid, Wild Guns to name a few.
-
It gets confusing, too, because a lot of the games you'd think are the same game, with the same title, are actually completely different games on each system.

Missing tons of games. it's why I don't recommend using Wiki.
-
I stand corrected then. I've never had any issues with wiki lists, but I guess it can depend on different views indeed.

Good point very good point. Like aladdin I must be only person who prefers the SNES version.

Nope. You're not alone.

Yeah, I don't see "Gunstar Heroes" on that Wiki list...

I'm also on the SNES side of that argument

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.

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.

Well, "sort of good," I suppose. "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.
