SNES and it's not even a close contest.

Genesis only got Streets of Rage series, Golden Axe series, Gunstar Heroes, Sonic games.

SNES list of "Must Haves" is stupidly long.
Youre kinda tripping. What about Shinobi? Contra Hard Corps? Splatterhouse? Youre also leaving out Treasure(Gunstar Heroes) whole catalogue like Dynamite Heady, Alien Soldier, Light Crusader, Yu Yu Hakusho(import but was ahead of its time)

Genesis had a broader selection of titles, ranging from kiddie fare to mature content. The system also was able to process graphics faster? The graphics on the Genesis definitely appeared more advanced. SNES was great, but Nintendo doesn't take risks in what's welcomed on their platforms. Sega was ahead of their time, which was evident in the Dreamcast, too. I have always felt that Microsoft took more cues from Sega, in terms of taking risks to broaden the consumer experience, than Nintendo when they launched the Xbox brand. :francis:

I literally just found out weeks ago no one in Europe hesrd of Sega Genesis in the 90s
Yeah when I started using the internet many years ago I was confused when folks referred Sega Megadrive as Genesis. Also in Japan, it's referred as "MegaDrive"
