Classic Video Games / Re: SNES vs Genesis
« on: February 11, 2016, 05:45:23 pm »
The Golden Axe and Streets of Rage games blew away any SNES Beat-em-up.

Them's fightin words. 
Batman Returns?  Turtles in Time?  SNES wins in my book.

Even though Beat-em-ups, Shumps and Sports are better on Genesis, SNES is still better overall. RPGs are my favorite genre, and that's why i prefer the US SNES over the US Genesis. Even in Europe, where most RPGs weren't released, SNES wins due to Nintendo properly optimizing games they published for the different TV standard, whereas SEGA didn't even attempt to do that.

Even though I'm a huge SNES fan, I enjoyed many games on Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection. Beyond Oasis was great, but inferior to Zelda Link to the Past and especially Terranigma. The Golden Axe and Streets of Rage games blew away any SNES Beat-em-up. Phantasy Star IV was good, but nowhere near as good as Final Fantasy VI or Chrono Trigger. The Sonic games are awesome, but Super Mario World is slightly better.

Absolutely. Even though it's worse than the PS1 and PS2, it is still a great console with many great games. I'd recommend Grandia II, Sonic Adventure, Skies of Arcadia and Shenmue. Also get a DC-X for the PAL-only Shenmue II (released in the US on Xbox).

Classic Video Games / Re: What game have you put the most time into?

Final Fantasy IV 2D. Played the PSP version, the NTSC-U GBA version (with all superbosses defeated) and am currently playing the Wii VC version. I am also planning to play the PS1 and PAL GBA versions. I don't like the 3D remake.

For me, the winner is the Mega Drive/Genesis. Mostly because the Mega Drive was the console I got for christmas and grew up with, but also because it felt more grown up at the time with less censorshop etc.

Altough I'll give you that the SNES had fancier graphics :)

Terranigma for the SNES is better than all 530 games on the PAL Mega Drive. It also has a thought-provoking plot and an uncensored script. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3vk5N8TyYU The game's soundtrack shows just how much of an advance the SNES made over the Genesis/Mega Drive.

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.

Video Showcase / Re: The Hardest Games Ever?

You can't get games harder than Super Metroid Impossible. Ridley guards the Varia Suit, meaning you have to go through everything up to Ridley with just your normal suit. Samus drains health constantly in heated rooms without the Varia suit, and Lower Norfair is all heated. There are spikes everywhere. Samus moves much slower in water without the Gravity Suit, which also is locked until after Ridley is dead.

The GBA port of Final Fantasy VI. it was worth the $35 to replace the loading times of the PSP version.

The PSN version of Chrono Trigger was never released in Europe.

In fact, the only digital version released in Europe is the Wii Virtual Console.
