Beyond that, what is there?
I keep hearing all of this talk about Genesis having different types of games that the SNES didn't have that were geared towards a trendier/older demographic. I don't see that. I look at their library and all I see are a couple of exclusives that are worth playing and a bunch of mediocre ports. Start throwing down some proof of these obscure gems. As far as skill based games go, I believe the SNES represents that fairly well. Sure, some of the games (most) are kiddie if you will, but that isn't true in all cases. I think Shadowrun is unmatched. You won't see a game like that on Genesis. The way it played was totally unique. Super Castlevania 4 is still one of the best, if not the best level based Castlevania games. I'm honestly curious what games any of you are claiming tops some of Nintendo's exclusives because I would like to play them.
I'm also generally disturbed when people cite the Genesis as having better RPGs. I found all Phantasy Stars except 4 to be boring and Shining Force similarly, and the latter is certainly not skill based, especially compared to Nintendo's equivalent of it (Though it wasn't that good at that point in time too).
Beyond that, what is there? Shadowrun? That was alright, certainly a better RPG than the SNES one, but nothing spectacular.
Alright, I still think Genesis fans are degenerate subhumans who are probably under custody of the state, but I just saw a list of a lot of RPGS I've never had experience with so I'm curious.
Which of the list would you recommend? Not Shining in Darkness, I've played it.
The question of which platform had better RPGs is not really the right question to ask. The question is what kinds of RPGs did the Genesis have versus the SNES. The Genesis had MMOs, open world games, action-adventure RPGs, Strategy RPGs and western style dungeon crawlers. The SNES had a greater selection of JRPGs.
I hadn't heard of quite a few of those. That's actually pretty exciting. Gives me more RPG's to add to my backlog. I still think the sound fucking sucks, but it does have it's charms.
Pretty fascinating to see an age-old argument come back into fruition. It's also useful for me since the Genesis emulator (Picodrive) works way better on the PSP than the SNES one.
Wuh, how? I can only guess it used something akin to the Satellaview?
Also, speaking of Warsong, I procured a Windows 98 (I think) remake of Langrisser 1 with an English patch. I haven't used it since it required a bit of fiddling but for anyone who could somehow mount that file to the D: drive it's yours. The download link, that is.
Mega Drive also has the best-looking version of Might and Magic 2.

Way better.Better than the PC98 one?
Genei Ibun Roku #FE launching this December in Japan (+ Special Edition Bundle): http://nintendoeverything.com/genei-ibun-roku-fe-launching-this-december-in-japan/
Is anyone on the dex interested in this game?
That because everyone was pissed that it was Persona: Fire Emblem edition, I mean seriously how the mother fucking hell did they think Shin Megami Tensei = Persona, because they're the most popular? There are other games Persona in the Shin Megami Tensei franchise, like those action two games in 1900 japan where you play as a cop who fights demons. If they just said it was a Persona x Fire Emblem, the reaction would of been less harsh.Dafuq, why did they rename Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem? Especially to something so stupid. At least the old name had brand recognition.
I never understood the love for Sonic 2's soundtrack over the first's, which is still the best music in the series imo. The first Sonic's sound like melodies to real songs, like you'd hear from Stevie Wonder or some shit (Springyard and Starlight Zones comes to mind), while 2 just sounded like regular vidya music to me. Good vidya music, but less charm and harmony than the first (sorry, I don't know many music terms). Something discordant about some of them too.
And while Super Castlevania's OST gets the praise it deserves, Bloodlines continues to be mostly overlooked.
Atmospheric as fuck.
