GAMEBOY said:I am sorry. I respect your opinion and the MD does in fact have over hundred of great games (I can even name them one by one ).
However saying the MD > SF is like saying SEGA published and developed games > every other publisher and developer work in that era which is unreasonable thing to say.
Japanese developers tend to pick one system and stick with it, while western developers tend to make their games on multiple platforms at lest that how it was then so there were always a system that gonna get must of the games while the other systems be limited with first party titles with few exceptions. So there was always a clear winner in term of quality and quantity.
Much like those kids and teen you mentioned ignored the less popular system despite the many "Gems" these systems has, you are ignoring the "Gems" available on those more popular systems. Because both the Super Famicom and the PlayStation 2 got their own share of "Gems" and let me tell it is a huge one!
Note: Please do not get this comment the wrong way I just wanted to illustrate and express my impression I do not mean to accuse.
What publisher are you referring to? Konami, Square, Capcom, sunsoft, Atlus, Enix, Namco...(and the list goes on) all picked on one system and made almost all there games for, and in our case they picked the SFC much like they picked PS1 and PS2 later on and FC before it.I just got this feeling you are accusing. When you say " SEGA published and developed games > every other publisher and developer" Why such hatred for Sega? I'm talking about every publisher who makes games.
Saying that the Megadrive is better is as good as saying SEGA developed and Published games (with few exceptions) are far superior than every other developer and publisher work put together at that time.
The fact that Nintendo alone put up a strong enough fight
Replace that with "4 gen games" as the SFC got almost all the third party support then. This is also part of the things I am saying.I believe what Gameboy is saying is that because Japan's support was behind the Super Famicom, while the Mega Drive was mostly Sega, it's silly to say that the MD is superior to the SF because that would mean that you are saying that Sega's first party games are better than not only Nintendo's first party, but also all the third party games onthe SF.
Hey I liked Chocobo Dungeon and Zack and Wiki is one of my all time favorite games.They got revenge with the Wii. Capcom, Konami, and Square-Enix first games on the Nintendo Wii were garbage. (Elebits, FF Chocobo Dungeon, and Zack & Wiki)
I did not call you silly as a person. please do not misinterpret my comment like that it is not nice.MegaDrive20XX said:How is that not irrelevant and why do you keep saying that? I sound silly now? I don't think you have room to be saying that. :lol
Last month's GameSpot was better imho. The Dreamcast.
You liked the games. Yet my point is, why didn't those game companies release titles that continued a popular franchise instead of original works?
GAMEBOY said:May I add that finding both systems as equally good is also for the must part unreasonable because in that case you'll be stating that SEGA work alone are equally as good as everybody else work put together!
