Sega had a 2 year head start but by 93 Nintendo was taking over. Sonic was killing but Donkey Kong still outsold it. They panicked and started trying gimmicks even though they were doing pretty well in It was the extra add ons that fukked them over that gen. And that's not me hating either because the CD has two GOAT level games in Sonic CD and Lunar: Eternal Blue.All that Sega CD 32x shyt had nothing to do with Nintendo.Sega was winning when that shyt dropped.Everyone was working on CD tech then even Nintendo(with Sony sadcam).It was dumb idea and had they focused on the genesis instead of a new console they may still be around today.
But gaming wise I just don't see it in favor of the Genesis. SNES had more depth in RPG, Fighting, and Platformer. Beat Em Ups are a toss up and sports goes to the Genesis.
Mario, Megaman X, Donkey Kong, Super Metroid, Super Castlevania are classic patformers with Sonic. But it's just really Sonic and maybe Shinobi and Lion King and like Vectorman
Is Mario really that much better than Sonic?No.
Are those cchrono trigger or secret man games yall brought up 100 times really that much better than phantasy star or shining force?No.

Chrono Trigger may be the GOAT game period, or Final Fantasy III on how you see it. Then you got FFIV, Zelda, Earthbound, Mario RPG. It's not even fair. But Phantasy Star is great though.

I remember the first time I played the Genesis for hours at a friend's house and we were playing Street of Rage and trying to beat it. My dad rings the doorbell and says it's time to go - I was literally 


95% of the sports games where multiplat jack ass now if you got some exclusive sega sports games then post em
both consoles but I'm gonna have to ride with the SNES. Still the GOAT console IMO, it just went way too hard.

era of gaming, hands down

at "sweat" coming from the fighting.
