Since my Genesis has been dead for a while now...

Panfan · 05-05-2008, 03:31 PM

I'm thinking of getting a new classic system. Possibly another Genesis, but I do want to actually own a SNES, so that'd probably be nice. I would like the VGF opinion on this, please.

Edit: Dammit, I forgot to add poll. But options would be SNES, NES, or Genesis.

SNES

GET....A GAME......

IT'LL BE AWESOM.

Sega Genesis Nomad.

You know you want it. A portable Genesis which works as a home system too!

Just don't try to stick the 32x into it...

SNES. That way you can get Super Mario World and A Link to the Past. Then you'll be playing with power...Super Power!

Genesis doesn't really stand up to the list of releases for the SNES. Pretty much the only games you can't get on another system that are actually worth having are made by Sega. Being that the SNES had both superior visuals, sound, and a similar but superior library... I don't really think there's much in the way of contest. If you can get a Genesis, and you've got the cash to spare, no harm done. I wouldn't go hunting for one, myself.

Mainly the Genesis is good for replacing... well, the dead one you already have?

***Cosmonautical*** · 05-08-2008, 09:29 AM

So exactly how dead is it? Doesn't turn on dead, or doesn't boot any games dead?

Panfan · 05-08-2008, 02:27 PM

Originally didn't play games, but now the power cord somehow got ripped.

But...But...

Phantasy Star IV...
And...Shining Force...

i use to be more of a genesis fan but recently i decided to get a retro system and went with the snes. genesis is a good choice but i think snes is better.

Growing up I was a Genesis kid, but now that I have...um...the means to play both on my Dreamcast, I can say that the SNES does in fact have a superior library of games.

Dizzy · 11-21-2008, 03:22 AM

^^Bump.

Panfan · 11-21-2008, 03:39 PM

Tis ok for bump, I haven't made up my mind. Depending on the amount of Christmas money I get, I may end up getting both.

Dizzy · 11-21-2008, 04:05 PM

SNES, if only for SMRPG.
