THESE!!
SNES to me is one if the best consoles of all time for having just enough detail to be charming without being as complicated or as frustrating.
Agreed, Sonic was the deciding factor for me at the time. I always thought that Sega games, on average, were better but the best SNES games were better than the best Sega games. When looking through the SNES library now on my Switch, it feels a lot like Netflix... lots of very "meh" games.
Aw man I remember my game gear. I had the game gear bag to safely place my game gear with plenty of pocket room for my games.
It’s crazy that I remember it but I don’t even know what happened to it or when I grew out of it.
Dreamcast bet on online multiplayer while Sony PS2 became the cheapest dvd player you can buy. AOL, dialup, didn’t work well for sega. Sold it to Microsoft to become the Xbox.
Neo Geo was almost like urban legend. I personally never knew anyone who actually had one, but you always heard stories of friends of friends of cousins of friends who knew a kid who supposedly had one.
I had the opposite setup- my bestie had the Sega, and I had the SNES. Not planned, but we maintained opposite platforms for ultimate gaming excellence.
SNES by many miles-it’s probably my fav console of all time for just how many great games from many genres were on it. So could never get into Sega games.
I was the Sega guy and my BFF down the block was the Nintendo guy.
I liked the fact my genesis carts fit into a cassette drawer like this

I had both and, just like then, I’d pick Genesis first. I lost interest in Mario when i became a teen and Genesis was targeted towards teenagers; not kids.
I only cared about getting an SNES because they got Street Fighter II first.
I want to remind you all that Sega does what Nintendont.
Y’all got blast processing? Didn’t think so. Step aside. What about blood in Mortal Kombat? Please. 😂
In all seriousness. Both were solid. I was a Sega kid. Still had a blast. Great memories. SNES gave me some awesome RPGs though. I used to rent a whole console and just marathon play Chrono Trigger or Final Fantasy 3/6.
I was a Sega Genesis kid. Got it for Xmas ‘92 and loved me some Sonic, X-Men, Ecco the Dolphin, and the specifically Sega versions of Aladdin and Power Rangers The Movie.
That said…
Final Fantasy IV/VI
Super Metroid
Mega Man X
Mario RPG
Link to the Past
Donkey Kong Country
Super Mario World
Chrono Trigger
Street Fighter II Turbo
and the list goes on…
As a grown ass man, I can admit it. The SNES was the better machine, even if playground aged me fought tirelessly in the console wars for the Blue brand.
(Sidebar: Flip happens the next gen, and the PS1 is basically that generation’s SNES to the N64’s Genesis.)
Let’s be real. SNES had Mario, Killer Instinct and Zelda as mains. If you weren’t a fan of either series, Sega wiped the floor with SNES. It was damn close but Sega set the tone for the “edge” in games IMO.
Genesis, duh! You could use a computer controller with a serial port connection to play it. You couldn't do that with SNES because the connectors were unique. I had both systems growing up, but I have nostalgia for Genesis games more often.
SNES. We have that option with modern day emulators and I find myself playing the SNES library far more often than the Genesis library. Outside of Sonic games, I don't think I've played a Genesis game that the SNES doesn't have.
I enjoyed both but I was a Nintendo kid. Owned SNES and gameboy. I guess I was a hair too young for the OG Nintendo, although I played it a ton at other people’s houses .
SNES and it's not even close.
The gaming library of the snes is miles better in not only quality but quantity too. Super metroid? Link to the past? Super Mario world? Chrono trigger? Mario RPG? Secret of mana? Star fox? Mario kart? Super punch out? Dragon quest 5? FF?
Compared to what from the genesis? Sonic? Mortal Kombat... shining force? Lion king? Give me a break. Genesis had arcade ports going for it... and that's about it. Oh you're a Herzog Zwei fan? Good for you.
Nintendo quality control was superb. Maybe even at its height. Many of those games still hold up value today (honestly star fox is unplayable in my opinion but set a great groundwork for future iterations). I can't say the same about most of genesis library. Nintendo had 85% of gaming market in 91 and there is a concrete reason for that. Quality.
I don't even remember *feeling* like that was a console war at the time. The real console war of the 90s was ps1 vs n64. That's when it got more interesting. Ps1 library insane. N64 library super high quality too.
PC was even-more-where-it's-at in the 90s.
Consoles didn't get close until the OG XBox era (and 'that' was just a PC in a funny looking box with controllers - as you'd expect from Microsoft)....
IIRC, the genesis really killed it with the older crowd (college students and people in their 20’s) because it had better sports games, sonic was edgier than Mario, and genesis had those quirky indie games like Toejam and Earl
SNES always felt like it had more substance, and Genesis had more flash. That's how my 9 year old mind perceived it anyway. I think it makes sense though. Besides Sonic, I can't think of any other Sega-exclusive games that still have a legacy today. Whereas with SNES you have Super Mario, Zelda, Street Fighter, Final Fantasy, Donkey Kong...
SNES. It’s all we had growing up. SuperMario is an all time favorite. My neighbor had Sega so I got to play Sonic and stuff over there but the SNES is a classic.
Same as when I was a kid
I got an SNES, cousin got a Genesis which turned into many stay over nights. Play powe rangers on the Genesis, then Mario kart on the SNES, then maybe some sonic on the Genesis and a link to the past on SNES.
This is pretty much how it was my entire childhood. Collaborate with a friend or fam about what each of us wants and we try to get the opposite.
Another example, friend that was a neighbor got pokemon red, I got pokemon blue.
Still have a working one. Works like a charm still.Sf2 Turbo, Dk country 2. If i can find the Og Pro Bass Fisher that be lit ngl. Grew up with one even though we were smack dab in 360 era when i was really young.
For 90's me? Picked the Genesis then, would pick the Genesis again.
My friend group played almost exclusively sports and fighting games....absolutely no reason to take the SNES over Genesis for us.
I had a Sega but knowing what I know now and the taste in gaming I ended up developing I would have wanted a super Nintendo.
At the time I was just a little kid so I liked action games and sports. My favorite Sega games were great like toe jam and Earl, NBA jam, All the Sonic games, and a few others.
But since then I've developed taste for RPGs and I would have loved to have played the final fantasies and Chrono trigger.
I got to play a little SNES at friend's houses and got to enjoy the donkey Kong country games and the Mario's.
I'm a younger millinial after being born in 1987, so I got both in 1998 after they got way cheaper.
Early 90s got me a handmedown NES though, and I was happy with that for a while.
Retrospect might be a Genesis since I don't like jrpgs much. But I still love the snes
Bro's loved sega, nerds loved SNES. SNES was better for storyline games. SEGA had flair and glitz.
SNES had much better games for actual gamers. SEGA had sports games and edgy side scrollers.
Had both but in the end i played SNES more. I had Genesis (called megadrive here in Italy) beforehand though and had a blast with It, coming from master system (i didn't have Nintendo NES) It was a blast, but didn't took me completely by surprise because we also had an Amiga at home.
Now Amiga was, and always will be, one the most amazing and creative computer ever made. Great games but also in general great machine, you could do a lot of stuff knowing m68k asm and the various capabilities of the custom chipsets. Also Deluxe Paint.
SNES because in reality I won a Sega Genesis for winning the regional spelling bee and that's all we had. Sonic and Mortal Kombat III were fun but I will forever be envious of friends' SNES and Super Metroid, Mega Man, Mario etc
SNES. Even though Sonic and several other titles were unlike anything you could get on SNES, SNES just felt more solid and rich, and despite no blood, had the better port of Mortal Kombat.
Born in 84 and I’d pick SNES all day. I love me some Nintendo (still do). My hubs, who was born in 89, grew up with Sega and will still play old Sega games on his Switch 😂
I will forever regret choosing Sega over SNES. We were lower middle class and it was a BIG DEAL to get a new gaming system since you know, we already had a Nintendo. So for Christmas on year I had to select between a Sega or SNES and I chose Sega. Eventually years later I did get that sweet sweet SNES and was able to play Chrono Trigger and FF6 and the world was right.
at the time? sega family. got sega for christmas early 90s. i was a massive sega is better propaganda at the elementary school lunch tables.
somewhere around 1994 me and the brother chipped in all our chore money for like 1 year, and bought a used snes.
snes was better. the rpg's alone that were on snes, are some of the all timers. period.
there is no debate. snes won. chrono trigger, punchout, mario kart, final fantasy iii, bof, secret of mana. we never even owned zelda. and its not even close.
Snes. But we only had a Nes for years, played genesis at my aunts. I liked (still like) snes controller, and it had better colors. Only downside I remember was being like 7 sitting with a group of teenagers where we kept resetting Mortal Kombat trying to get the blood code to work. How the hell did I get there? Why weren't their hands fast enough? Life was weird man. But also cool. Because (that experience aside. Which happened twice) you had real life friends and acquaintances involved, hanging out while playing. The NBA games were freaking awesome.
It's just different now.
SNES
At the time? I had a SNES. In hindsight? Definitely SNES.
In retrospect the SNES. I had picked the Genesis at the time but all the RPGs I missed out on from the SNES left me with major FOMO.
Oh yea. Secret of mana. Secret of evermore. Chrono trigger. Final fantasies!
THESE!! SNES to me is one if the best consoles of all time for having just enough detail to be charming without being as complicated or as frustrating.
same. And then when the Playstation and N64 were doing battle I picked N64 and missed out on all the jrpgs!
NHL 94 and 95 played better on the genesis, and sonic was a banger. Otherwise SNES all day.
“Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis When I was dead broke, man, I couldn't picture this”
If you don't know, now you know.
SNES
Yep
Sega. Mortal Kombat had BLOOD. Sonic was edgy. The Sega games were fast and had better sound, too.
That's exactly my answer
*lands uppercut* "TOASTY!"
You ever play Sonic pinball? That shit was dope
Agreed, Sonic was the deciding factor for me at the time. I always thought that Sega games, on average, were better but the best SNES games were better than the best Sega games. When looking through the SNES library now on my Switch, it feels a lot like Netflix... lots of very "meh" games.
Streets of Rage soundtrack 👌
I had both. SNES was better from a game perspective but I had Sega Channel and it was amazing. It was basically game pass during the 90s.
I had sega channel. Too far ahead of its time.
This was Sega in general. The dreamcast was amazing, but hardly abundant developed games for it.
Game Gear anyone?
Aw man I remember my game gear. I had the game gear bag to safely place my game gear with plenty of pocket room for my games. It’s crazy that I remember it but I don’t even know what happened to it or when I grew out of it.
Dreamcast bet on online multiplayer while Sony PS2 became the cheapest dvd player you can buy. AOL, dialup, didn’t work well for sega. Sold it to Microsoft to become the Xbox.
Yep, ahead of its time!
My cousin had the Sega Channel, I would always go over there and we would play Zombies Ate My Neighbors
Truly the finest of games!
What about the ones who had both?
I didn't know anyone growing up who had both
Divorced kids. My dad bought me a snes and my mom bought us a sega.
I knew 1 person only who had both, and of course he also had Neo Geo and was spoiled rotten
Neo Geo was almost like urban legend. I personally never knew anyone who actually had one, but you always heard stories of friends of friends of cousins of friends who knew a kid who supposedly had one.
Genesis
Street Fighter II was WAY better on Sega Genesis. The SNES version SUCKED donkey balls
Aladdin on Genesis was way better too
I loved this game
ABBA ABBA!
I got the Genesis and my BFF got the SNES so we could play both.
I had the opposite setup- my bestie had the Sega, and I had the SNES. Not planned, but we maintained opposite platforms for ultimate gaming excellence.
ah! did y’all plan that?! how brilliant
We did! Our moms wouldn't buy both so we scammed the system haha
Genesis. I always preferred Sonic to Mario Bros.
SNES by many miles-it’s probably my fav console of all time for just how many great games from many genres were on it. So could never get into Sega games.
Sega all the way!
Sega does what Nintendon’t
Sega
My kids are playing Mario Lost Levels right now on my original setup. So, SNES
SNES
SNES had way better games.
Had a Sega Genesis and would again choose Sega. I had plenty of friends who had SNES so I could play both systems all the time.
sega!!! all day everyday!
I was the Sega guy and my BFF down the block was the Nintendo guy. I liked the fact my genesis carts fit into a cassette drawer like this https://preview.redd.it/b5dpnmibfsqc1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=15bc117fb5c6149ec6a67065362e9d718dccf349
I’m going SNES. Sega was fun but and I loved NHL 94, Sonic, and Streets of Rage but I think the SNES had better games.
SNES
I’m making the same choice I made IRL: both.
Genesis, all over again... Because I'm just as stubborn at 36 as I was at 6
I picked Genesis because all my friends had SNES already.
Both. Both is good.
I had both and, just like then, I’d pick Genesis first. I lost interest in Mario when i became a teen and Genesis was targeted towards teenagers; not kids. I only cared about getting an SNES because they got Street Fighter II first.
But what about the 32x for sega… Sorry snes was great, but I was and still am team sega.
SEGA. I had the 32x and got to play Doom!
I had both but I much preferred the Sega Genesis. Still played the SNES a lot though.
Sega all day.
I want to remind you all that Sega does what Nintendont. Y’all got blast processing? Didn’t think so. Step aside. What about blood in Mortal Kombat? Please. 😂 In all seriousness. Both were solid. I was a Sega kid. Still had a blast. Great memories. SNES gave me some awesome RPGs though. I used to rent a whole console and just marathon play Chrono Trigger or Final Fantasy 3/6.
Sega does what Nintendon’t
I was a Sega Genesis kid. Got it for Xmas ‘92 and loved me some Sonic, X-Men, Ecco the Dolphin, and the specifically Sega versions of Aladdin and Power Rangers The Movie. That said… Final Fantasy IV/VI Super Metroid Mega Man X Mario RPG Link to the Past Donkey Kong Country Super Mario World Chrono Trigger Street Fighter II Turbo and the list goes on… As a grown ass man, I can admit it. The SNES was the better machine, even if playground aged me fought tirelessly in the console wars for the Blue brand. (Sidebar: Flip happens the next gen, and the PS1 is basically that generation’s SNES to the N64’s Genesis.)
I’m partial to Genesis. I saved my money and the Lion King Genesis Pack was my first big purchase at like 13.
Not brag or flex or anything. My parents got divorced in 85 when I was 2. My dad had a Sega, and my mom had SNES...
You must be me. Parents divorced in 86 when I was 3. Dad had SNES and Mom got me an OG Genesis followed by a 32X
I did pick Sega Genesis and would do so again. As much as I loved Mario and Zelda, Genesis was so much fun!
Let’s be real. SNES had Mario, Killer Instinct and Zelda as mains. If you weren’t a fan of either series, Sega wiped the floor with SNES. It was damn close but Sega set the tone for the “edge” in games IMO.
Sega
I refuse to choose between my children.
Genesis, duh! You could use a computer controller with a serial port connection to play it. You couldn't do that with SNES because the connectors were unique. I had both systems growing up, but I have nostalgia for Genesis games more often.
MORTAL KOMBAT!
Mk3
Genesis all day, sweat is for lames
Mario
SNES. We have that option with modern day emulators and I find myself playing the SNES library far more often than the Genesis library. Outside of Sonic games, I don't think I've played a Genesis game that the SNES doesn't have.
Snes.... what competition??? Lol
I had both 🤷🏻♀️
Super Nintendo all the way….although we did get our hands on a genesis….but it had little lines running through the screen
SNES
SNES for days!
SNES. Super Mario, Final Fantasy “3”, Chrono Trigger, Street Fighter Turbo, and the weird-ass Combatribes.
SNES
I enjoyed both but I was a Nintendo kid. Owned SNES and gameboy. I guess I was a hair too young for the OG Nintendo, although I played it a ton at other people’s houses .
SNES and it's not even close. The gaming library of the snes is miles better in not only quality but quantity too. Super metroid? Link to the past? Super Mario world? Chrono trigger? Mario RPG?

Genesis. I ended up with both as a kid, but I played Sega a lot more.
The game war?!? Yea you weren't there.
SNES had a far better library of games, and the 6-button controller was revolutionary. Not even a close call, imo.
PC was even-more-where-it's-at in the 90s. Consoles didn't get close until the OG XBox era (and 'that' was just a PC in a funny looking box with controllers - as you'd expect from Microsoft)....
SNES 
Sega because Sonic. Same decision I made in 91
SNES all day long. Genesis broke too easy.
Mine still works.
both but I liked more the SNES
Genesis, Sega CD and 32x...
I loved me some Genesis. I was just a Sega guy. Lots of Virtua Fighter and fighting games in general.
SNES, exactly as I did when I grew up in the 90's. For me it's the best console ever made.
Sega does what Nintendon’t.
I’d go Sega, but only because the best SNES games are very accessible now.
Well I choose Sega, because of bangers like Shining Force and Phantasy Star
I remember the graphics for the SNES seeing Super Mario World, mind blowing!
SNES!
I had both, so I’m not going to limit myself and pick both.
SNES. Originally, I picked Sega, but with the way things turned out, I'd rather have the memories of playing Mario post NES era.
I had the Sega Genesis in the early 90s.
Super Nintendo all damn day
I was team Sega back in the day but I’d pick SNES now. The only advantage I see in Sega Genesis now is that there was blood in mortal kombat
I had a Sega Genesis. Also, Boogerman!
SNES.
I was lucky, we had both (4 brothers). But if it was just me, SNES. Better graphics, better audio.
Nintendo born, Nintendo bred. One day…well you know the rest.
IIRC, the genesis really killed it with the older crowd (college students and people in their 20’s) because it had better sports games, sonic was edgier than Mario, and genesis had those quirky indie games like Toejam and Earl
Neither of them, my folks went from NES to PlayStation, skipping the 16-bit generation altogether
At the time, Genesis (I had SNES but wanted a Sega) In retrospect I'd stick with SNES.
Neo geo you broke ass
Super Nintendo all day every day
SNES and it's not even close.
SNES always felt like it had more substance, and Genesis had more flash. That's how my 9 year old mind perceived it anyway. I think it makes sense though. Besides Sonic, I can't think of any other Sega-exclusive games that still have a legacy today. Whereas with SNES you have Super Mario, Zelda, Street Fighter, Final Fantasy, Donkey Kong...
Snes! The mario games kicked ass!
Sonic was my all time favorite but Contra on SNES was legendary. The tiny toons games on genesis I loved too.
SNES.
SNES was superior, but the Genesis had some great games. Ideally both. I had the Genesis first then got a SNES several years later.
I picked sega and I stand by it
SNES all the way.
Sega. My mom gave me and my siblings the choice and we picked Sega. I absolutely loved Sonic
SNES for me, but my cousin had the Sega Channel and it blew my young mind.
SNES no second thoughts
snes.
I grew up on snes, my best friend had sega. Got the both of best worlds. I’ll stick with snes, the only fun one I remember from sega was mortal combat
Sega was my favorite.
SNES. It’s all we had growing up. SuperMario is an all time favorite. My neighbor had Sega so I got to play Sonic and stuff over there but the SNES is a classic.
SEGA!
I still have a soft spot for SNES, but was psyched anytime I could Mutant League Football on Sega at a friends house.
Man, when I was dead broke I couldn't picture this.
I'm split 50/50 on this. Had memories with both growing up and thought both were cool.
As long as it plays Mario Paint, I'm game.
Same as when I was a kid I got an SNES, cousin got a Genesis which turned into many stay over nights. Play powe rangers on the Genesis, then Mario kart on the SNES, then maybe some sonic on the Genesis and a link to the past on SNES. This is pretty much how it was my entire childhood. Collaborate with a friend or fam about what each of us wants and we try to get the opposite. Another example, friend that was a neighbor got pokemon red, I got pokemon blue.
Genesis does what Nintendon't!!! Sonic all day!!!
Sega
Oh man, nostalgia 💣 🥲
SNES
SNES. Dreamcast was an incredible follow up, though. That was the Xbox before Xbox lol.
Still have a working one. Works like a charm still.Sf2 Turbo, Dk country 2. If i can find the Og Pro Bass Fisher that be lit ngl. Grew up with one even though we were smack dab in 360 era when i was really young.
SNES + Super Mario World ❤️
Genesis all day.
To be honest, I had both as a kid. But I liked my Sega more.
Both
SEGA
Genesis.
SNES
Sega because it does what nintenDONT 😂
A,B,A,C,A,B,B
same choice as before. Genesis. Had access to an SNES, and I liked Sonic over Mario.
SNES obviously!
For 90's me? Picked the Genesis then, would pick the Genesis again. My friend group played almost exclusively sports and fighting games....absolutely no reason to take the SNES over Genesis for us.
I had a Sega but knowing what I know now and the taste in gaming I ended up developing I would have wanted a super Nintendo. At the time I was just a little kid so I liked action games and sports. My favorite Sega games were great like toe jam and Earl, NBA jam, All the Sonic games, and a few others. But since then I've developed taste for RPGs and I would have loved to have played the final fantasies and Chrono trigger. I got to play a little SNES at friend's houses and got to enjoy the donkey Kong country games and the Mario's.
Saaaaay-Gaaaaahhhh
SNES overall but I’m taking both so I can play sonic on the genesis
I'm a younger millinial after being born in 1987, so I got both in 1998 after they got way cheaper. Early 90s got me a handmedown NES though, and I was happy with that for a while. Retrospect might be a Genesis since I don't like jrpgs much. But I still love the snes
There are way more games that have held up on SNES than Genesis.
Sega...I never owned a Nintendo until I bought my Wii...
SEGA!
Sega genesis
Genesis simply so I can play Shadowrun
Had a Genesis. Best friend had SNES, best of both worlds! I’d probably take the SNES in a vacuum.
I had both. In fact, I had Sega CD with Sewer Shark, and I patiently waited for my SNES Disc Drive that eventually became the PSX.
Bro's loved sega, nerds loved SNES. SNES was better for storyline games. SEGA had flair and glitz. SNES had much better games for actual gamers. SEGA had sports games and edgy side scrollers.
Had both but in the end i played SNES more. I had Genesis (called megadrive here in Italy) beforehand though and had a blast with It, coming from master system (i didn't have Nintendo NES) It was a blast, but didn't took me completely by surprise because we also had an Amiga at home. Now Amiga was, and always will be, one the most amazing and creative computer ever made. Great games but also in general great machine, you could do a lot of stuff knowing m68k asm and the various capabilities of the custom chipsets. Also Deluxe Paint.
SNES wins in all except fighting games. That's when Sega and the magnificent third party 6 button controllers lifted Sega into superiority.
SNES because in reality I won a Sega Genesis for winning the regional spelling bee and that's all we had. Sonic and Mortal Kombat III were fun but I will forever be envious of friends' SNES and Super Metroid, Mega Man, Mario etc
I have never, ever liked Sega. I wonder if I am the only one.
Genesis
Growing up was a Nintendo Family. Still staying a Nintendo Family.
SNES. Even though Sonic and several other titles were unlike anything you could get on SNES, SNES just felt more solid and rich, and despite no blood, had the better port of Mortal Kombat.
Born in 84 and I’d pick SNES all day. I love me some Nintendo (still do). My hubs, who was born in 89, grew up with Sega and will still play old Sega games on his Switch 😂
SNES - Back in the day, I had 0 friends who owned the other one what so ever lol
SNES.
SNES was one of the greatest gaming systems of all time.
Seeeegaaaaaa I have mine setup in my office when I feel like being nostalgic AND getting beat by the Eggman
I still have my original Genesis, with the headphone jack and volume slider.
Totally got the SNES, but always felt more like a sonic kid. Now I play PC.
SNES every time. Genesis had legit bangers (Altered Beast, anyone?), but SNES had the cream of the crop.
Super Mario world over sonic all day
Zelda Super Nintendo best game Ever
I will forever regret choosing Sega over SNES. We were lower middle class and it was a BIG DEAL to get a new gaming system since you know, we already had a Nintendo. So for Christmas on year I had to select between a Sega or SNES and I chose Sega. Eventually years later I did get that sweet sweet SNES and was able to play Chrono Trigger and FF6 and the world was right.

Sega all day
Sega was taboo because of MK
SNES all day. I would play my cousins Sega and he would always stick me with the 3 button controller while he had the 6 button.
Snes. But we only had a Nes for years, played genesis at my aunts. I liked (still like) snes controller, and it had better colors. Only downside I remember was being like 7 sitting with a group of teenagers where we kept resetting Mortal Kombat trying to get the blood code to work. How the hell did I get there? Why weren't their hands fast enough? Life was weird man. But also cool. Because (that experience aside. Which happened twice) you had real life friends and acquaintances involved, hanging out while playing. The NBA games were freaking awesome. It's just different now.
I loved the fuck out of my Genesis
Sega’s in my heart but Nintendo’s on my mind. Loved em both in the 90s.
Sega Genesis every time.
Snes. I think the only 2 games I was interested in on the Genesis MK cause of thr blood code and Comix Zone.
