| As the briefing says, I want to see if Nintendo is more liked over Sega, or Sega is more liked than Nintendo, to see if my friend is wrong | |||

| =WARNING=WARNING=WARNING=WARNING=WARNING=WARNING= Possibility of flame war. Use caution! =WARNING=WARNING=WARNING=WARNING=WARNING=WARNING= Anyway... I prefer Nintendo. Reasons? Mario serie, Zelda serie, Metroid serie. I don't think I need to say anything else.

| Well honestly, there's not much competition these days. Just look at the 2 companies. Sega is 3rd Party, but Nintendo is still going strong. Now if this was back in the day with the Genesis and SNES here ... this would probably turn out to be an interesting topic. But for now, I'd have to say I honestly like Nintendo more. And I pretty much always have, but the Genesis still easily remains as one of my favorite systems. (So yes, back in the day I prefered the SNES  . Not that I really cared, since I owned both).And I hate to say it, but I seriously think Sonic just died with the Dreamcast. (edited by Darth Xeodious on 05-09-05 06:34 AM) |

| You can't compare them. Sega is a third party developer that is doing dozens of projects at any given time for multiple pieces of hardware. They use multiple development houses. Nintendo focuses on two or three at any given time and has a large inhouse development bureau. |

| I love both. If Sega still made consoles, they would still be in second (out of the two choices), but would still get alot of my playtime. Sega did take a rather huge hit with me when their "really huge" announcement at last year's E3 ended up being... Matrix Online.  Meh... |

Originally posted by Skeletor Wow, this post makes sense. Because although Sega still churns out a large profit margin, it's like comparing EA and Sony. It doesn't make sense because they're two different entities with different stated purposes. |

| I grew up a Nintendo kid. Never had a Master System until very recently, and I just thought (and still do think) the SNES is far superior to the Genesis. | |||

| Random Question [and serious]: Was the NES more powerful than the Genesis sound wise? Seriously, maybe it's just cause I grew up with NES games when I was just learning to walk also, but to me a lot of NES games have far superior beats and tunes compared to many Genesis games. |

| I don't think it was necessarily more "powerful", though I agree with you in the sense that a lot of Genesis games had sort of "fuzzy" music with the notable exception of Phantasy Star II. If you don't know what I'm talking about, think encoding an MP3 at a low bitrate. | |||

| Yeah, whenever I think of it I just think of "That good ol' Genesis touch", even though sometimes it wasn't that great. Games that I thought had really good music on the Genesis would easily be, all Sonic games, Streets of Rage series, Vectorman, Ristar, Thunder Force series, etc. But yeah, they all had that "thing" in them. It's not even right to compare the Genesis's music to the SNES's though. Just look at games like Earthworm Jim, and others that appeared on both systems, HUGE difference if you ask me.

| Rock N' Roll Racing is the game that demonstrates the SNES's sound superiority over the Genesis (In technical terms I mean) more than any other. <3 that game, and they rereleased it on GBA too. |

| Well. If you had asked me a year ago, I would've definitely said Nintendo, but no. I've gotten Power Stone 2 since then. Any company that releases a console with the power stone series on it is automatically made "the best game company ever". Sega did this. Did Nintendo do this? No. | |||

| Sega for RPGs and Sonic. Nintendo for everything else. Hm. Is there really a reason to compare the two? They both rock. |

Nintendo, even though I had Sega all throughout my childhood. Even though my first Nintendo game was Mario 64. Even though the first game to convince me was Ocarina of Time, Nintendo is the most amazing creative company of all time  |

| In order from lowest to highest complexity: - NES had 5 sound channels with simple waveforms (2 squares, 1 triangle, 1 noise, 1 PCM), and mono sound only - Genesis used FM synth (forgot how many channels but a lot more) and also some sort of PCM - SNES had 8 channels with sound samples So Genesis had bigger sound than NES, just wasn't nearly as advanced as SNES The sound on Genesis is more comparable to playing MIDI's on really old sound cards (before sampled instruments) or module formats on Adlib, rather than low-quality MP3's ... it's perfectly clear sound, just limited to a certain category of waveforms (FM synth) that gives it its own feel, and it really doesn't sound bad if you like NES music  So back on topic, I also had both 8-bit and 16-bit consoles (with 5-8 games on each, but rented a lot more), and while I did enjoy quite a few good Sega games back then (I even got the "Acmlm" name from the Genesis ), I've played a lot more on the Nintendo consoles and would take Nintendo over Sega  The few games I played and really liked on Genesis were Phantasy Star 3 and 4, Shining in the Darkness, Toejam & Earl and possibly a few more I rented ... while on SNES, I can name Mario RPG, EarthBound, Final Fantasy 4 and 6, Chrono Trigger, Bubsy (also came out on Genesis though), Civilization (stayed up a whole night playing that once), Zelda, NHL '95 to '97, Secret of Mana, Super Punch Out, Donkey Kong Country 1 to 3, Mario games, and so on, and that's without comparing Sega Master System to NES, and the unpopular Sega Saturn to Nintendo 64, and the Dreamcast to Gamecube |
