        the SNES is better at RPGs, strategy games, etc as they benefit from the more lush audiovisuals, more controller buttons, and more system RAM. i agree the Genesis usually always wins at action games.

      Because the sports gamers of old were more likely to be the kind of people who grew out of old consoles and sold them off to fund the next thing to get the latest iterations of their favorite sports game franchises. People who held on to, and continued to buy games for, their old consoles were/are more likely to be the kinds of gamers who aren't sports fans and are not fans of sports games. So the end result is used games stores overflowing with sports games with very few interested buyers, which means lower prices, which gives the impression that they're all junky shovelware (which for the taste of a lot of current day retrogamers is going to feel accurate, because for them, even a good sports game is still just a sports game).
      The exceptions will be things like Tecmo Bowl and Madden, which due to their fame, have their own dedicated collectors.

          You are confusing the US library with western-developed games. Mario, Yoshi, Mega Man, Street Fighter, Castlevania etc. all came out in North America too. We even got some stuff we normally wouldn't like Pocky and Rocky and Goemon games.

                nah they just didn't like the SNES to begin with because they considered it underpowered. EA's philosophy has always been using the most powerful hardware available and during the early 90s their efforts were mainly focused on the Mega Drive and PC.

      It's this exactly. Nintendo fans have spent decades sucking off the SNES and refusing to touch any other 16-bit hardware. It's quite sad to see, because it limits them to the very small handful of a dozen or so of decent SNES games out of the entire excellent 16-bit era, where there are literally hundreds of awesome titles to be found on the Mega Drive, PC Engine, Neo Geo, X68000, arcade games, and so on. Yet all they would rather do is play Mario and Zelda for the 700th time. I'll never understand it, and I'll never understand why this shit console isn't left in the dumpster where it belongs.

    The 4th gen was when the Wild West days of the industry were over and everyone more-or-less figured out what kinds of games different markets liked, so this meant games got more predictable and boring.

I just went through all my SNES/SFC roms a couple weeks ago hoping to find some obscure games that are fun but there just weren't any. You have a bunch of all time greats that everyone knows about, and you have some mid-tiers that most retro game fans know about like Demon's Crest or Act Raiser, but nothing equivalent to say the NES/FC's Cocoron or Radia Senki or Xexyz etc.

    The SNES has got to be the worst console that's popularly held in high regard. Like others ITT, I never played it much until a few years ago, I just took SNES fans on their word that it was as good as they say. Once I really decided to take some time and try to find the good SNES hidden gems, I was shocked to find there just weren't any. It really is just a system for the top 10 titles everybody already knows. It's appalling how a system with so little depth to it is constantly shilled as if it's the best console ever.

        Nothing ironic about it. The really popular consoles are usually pretty great. I love the PS2, the PSX, the Saturn, the Mega Drive, the NES is pretty good even if it hasn't aged particularly well. But I just can't see what the fuss is about with the SNES. It really does only have about a dozen worthwhile games out of a library of almost 2000. I agree with you that the N64 is the same way too, it's just odd, because the library is so much bigger on the SNES. By the numbers, you would think that would mean the SNES should have a library with way more substance than the N64, and yet, somehow that's not the case. What went so wrong?

            I have and I have beaten more games and more difficult games than the average /vr/ poster. But getting good won't change the fact that F-Zero and SMK are full of shit by design, it just makes you used to eating shit. I feel like SNES F-Zero and SMK are games for the "Nintendo fans" who want to pretend they're hardcore gamer and everyone is supposed to pretend the games are flawless masterpieces because it's Nintendo even though the games are so blatantly full of shit. For me On SNES Top Gear series is a lot more fun but I'd probably have the most fun replaying NES Rad Racer, RC Pro Am, Micro Machines or even Motocross Champions. Hell, I'd have more fun replaying Famicom Grand Prix 1 and 2 than playing F-Zero and SMK.
            The GBA F-Zero and SMK I actually liked, because they toned down the bullshit by quite a big margin. SNES SMK feels like a party game with a singleplayer mode as an afterthought. The norm in video games back then was to reward the players who got good and leave the others behind, SMK by design does the contrary and the better you get, the worse it gets.

                Even from the video alone you get a good impression for the feel the designers were going for. They paid a lot of attention to the "sensation" of driving which is where I believe euros excel when making racers. Something f-zero doesn't manage to recreate as it reads out speeds upward of 1000km/h on screen.

                I like how every time you link to an Amiga game it's like a punchline. The absurdity of someone trying to present this as superior to anything is actually funny.

                I like how every time the Amiga is brought up, you SNES fans immediately go into a frothing rage, completely incapable of fathoming that there are good games on a 16-bit platform with thousands of games. You're brains are so melted from being used to there only being a dozen worthwhile SNES that you legitimately believe the 16-bit era didn't have anything to play outside of Mario and Zelda. It would be funny if it weren't so sad. Enjoy trying not to fall asleep whilst playing F-Zero again for the 600th time, I'll be here beating my PB times in all these other racing games I've been posting, or perhaps Super Monaco GP, or one of the Road Rash games, or the countless other awesome 16-bit racing titles across the many other 16-bit systems that actually had decent libraries of more than a dozen worthwhile games.

                F-Zero looks and plays better than any racer on Genesis/PC-Engine.

                F-Zero is totally flat and looks like pixel vomit, it also has terrible physics and horrible rubber banding AI. Kawasaki Superbike Challenge has far better physics, far better AI, track height undulations, awesome 3D polygon effects, and all running on a stock Mega Drive, something the SNES could never achieve.

I've played many games on the original console and I'll reiterate that the games I came across were the best of each system's libraries... not "shovelware."

      For that you can blame the fact that Japanese were a lot less likely to own a computer so a game console would sub for some of the tasks a computer would do whereas Westerners didn't need that and just used consoles for games.

      Westerners were fixated on jerking it to early jank 3D games for some reason and did not want 2D stuff while Japan didn't care and the N64's lack of success there compelled them to keep the SFC going for a while longer.

        The N64 launched in North America in September '96. It's true that DKC3 came out in November but it was obviously a game that had been in the pipeline to be released for several months. After N64 launch they wouldn't approve any new SNES game development.

    What's with all these people saying they were stuck playing bad games... And saying they enjoyed it and didn't know any better on top of that. This is a sad sight, but my point is don't come thinking your experience was everyone's.

    I guess it all comes down to whether they had a computer or not. If you had a computer, you had access to emulation as early as '98. And even before that you could get magazines with lliterally hundreds of playable demos; and chances are half your games were bought, the other half pirated. That's even if you didn't have an internet connection. Really if you didn't do gaming at the same time on computer and consoles, you didn't know shit about video games.

    Then as a teen, even though my parents didn't give me pocket money, I managed to buy 4 different consoles (one after the other, selling one to get another one). If you didn't have the smarts to find ways to play more than 2 games a year (including shitty things), it was on you. You just didn't care enough, so don't come giving lessons on "how things were".

          Nah, nobody would anticipate genre pushing games like trouble shooter and ranger x, treasure's output on the console was standout and iterations in established franchises like contra or new IP like rocket knight adventures made it apparent there was new and interesting things that can happen on these consoles. It's not as apparent on SNES with all of its horse race betting games.

            Part of the problem is that the SNES just isn't anywhere close to as powerful as the other 16-bit hardwares, really it was barely an upgrade from the NES in terms of CPU capabilities. Developers wanting to experiment with new and interesting gameplay mechanics just did not have the freedom to accomplish those sorts of styles like they were on the Mega Drive. If they wanted to try on the SNES, they would have to shell out for an expensive expansion chip, which publishers often did not want to spend extra money on. This issue also bled over into multi platform games needing to be dumbed down considerably, so that they could still run on the stock SNES. The SNES held everyone back.

      no...they didn't get localized because nobody decided to pick them up. what people don't realize is the Japanese don't decide what games get an international release, it's a publisher's international branch that sees a game and decides oh hey we like this let's localize it.

      It's not even worth trying, friend. Now that someone said the magic word "Amiga", the SNES tendies are in that crazed fit of hysteria they get into the moment anyone suggests it might actually have some decent games. Nothing sets them off like the Amiga does, and any thread where the Amiga is mentioned is assured to be immediately derailed by these bitter and unsatisfied SNES fans. You can try to direct the discussion back to the more deserving parties like the Mega Drive, PC Engine, arcade games, but it doesn't matter, they're seeing red right now, the Amiga is all they're hyperfocus will let them fixate on. What a miserable existence, though, I suppose it's fitting for these people since they don't actually like video games, they just like they're dozen SNES tendie IP's and shitposting ceaselessly about great games they've never played.

          To you, even Mega Drive games are somehow "Amiga games". It's the only thing you can think about, 24/7, any time anyone brings up any games that aren't Nintendo shit, you're thinking about ways to shoehorn the Amiga into the discussion so you can go on one of you're crazed rants yet again. What a sad existence. The SNES is still shit and the Mega Drive, PC Engine, X68000, Neo Geo, and 16-bit arcade games still clear it easily, but that's alright for you because at least the Amiga is shit, so you can ignore all that.

              It's a spiritual sequel to an Amiga game, which the developers correctly identified had potential to make into an even better game on the Mega Drive, which they did, and the result is a highly regarded and excellent 16-bit racing game, exclusive to the Mega Drive, which fan's of racing games of the era (in other words not you, since you only care about Mario Kart and F-Zero) hold in high esteem.

              Better version of Final Fight, better version of R-Type, Geographic Seal, Etoile Princess, better version of Ghouls and Ghosts, Cho Ren Sha, better version of Parodius, Marchen Maze, VASTLY better versions of Lagoon, Xak, Ys III, Emerald Dragon, and Phalanx, just to name a few. But of course you don't care about any of that, they're not Mario or Zelda, and that's all you really need or care about.

              The graphics hardware is more Master System level in terms of its capabilities. Smaller, more limited sprites and only one background layer, also the screen scroll is not as simple or easy as it is on MD. The CPU is a bit slower too and gets bottlenecked by the memory mapped video.

              It did matter in this case because the SNES was a royal PITA to code for due to the CPU's silly 64k memory segments like a DOS PC while the Mega Drive had flat memory.

                The bad thing about SNES library is that they had the Japanese market figured out by that point and realized what they want is anime and sports shovelware while with the Famicom they were still experimenting and stuff hadn't become formulaic yet. The Japanese PS1 library was then the SNES on steroids. So much trash and non-game software while most of the Western library for both consoles is at least actual games.

      I like how he's always so cheerful and happy in all his videos no matter how bad the game is instead of some LP-ers who are screaming "oh god this is the worst trash i've ever played"

      I checked his playthrough of this Doraemon game. Kek he has the same chink SNES Flash cart as me. Except it seems like he's using the RGB out. Anyway this game does have moonrunes it's not like the Famicom Doraemon.

        The action Doraemon game is decent-ish imo, also it must be one of the firsts to mix 3 different genres (I think Challenger only had 2 and the sidescrolling stuff was minimal; anyway I'm not surprised it's the same devs); but the RPG is quite fun. It even has a bad ending you can getat the VERY start of the game if you just decide to keep saying "No" when Doraemon asks for help

      There are three more SNES Doraemon games. Nobita to Yousei no Kuni is a relatively crude 4 megabit game but they get more sophisticated later on.

    the SNES took a while to get off the ground. by the end of 1991 it had less than 60 games out and things didn't really take off until '92 when the trickle of games turned into a flood. it was expensive in the beginning and launch units had significant reliability issues.

        Yes they had a lot of issues with those. The launch Famicom had issues too and had to be recalled. Nintendo were never very good hardware designers which is why since the N64 they just buy a preexisting chipset and build a console around it.

      I disagree, it's a great thread. Like minded people should be allowed to talk about why we don't like the SNES, just the same as you people constantly shitting on the Amiga or ZX Spectrum is allowed and encouraged here. If it triggers you so badly to see that not everyone is sucking off Nintendo's dick constantly like you are, then hide the thread.

          It's funny how thoroughly the point goes right over you're heads, even just pointing out that people on this board constantly shit on the Amiga and ZX Spectrum sends you into a frothing rage, totally incapable of comprehending the discussion whatsoever. I don't even like the Amiga or the ZX Spectrum all that much, they're okay at best, the Mega Drive, PC Engine, Neo Geo, X68000, and arcade titles all clear them quite handily though, but again, I don't expect you to be able to understand any of this post whatsoever, the fact that I'm not joining in on you're shit party on the Amiga and ZX Spectrum has put you into that culty maniacal fit that you SNES guys get into, all rationality is out the window. Being a fan of the SNES, N64, or GameCube is a mental disorder, I don't know what it is about those systems specifically, but there are no casual fans of them, they're all frothing fanboy lunatics. Quite funny since none of them have shit for a games library worth standing behind.

    Why he keeps trying to push that the Super Nintendo was filled with sports games when everybody knows the Genesis/Mega Drive had a ton of them?

      Everyone already associates the Genesis with being the "sports" console. Problem happens when they act like the SNES had all these awesome weeb Japan-only hidden gems when it didn't really have that and it had proportionately as much licensed sports shovelware as Genesis.

    While we're on this subject, I have the same problem with my SNES AC adapter with it being very stubborn about not working unless you jiggle it a certain way and I think I also have broken capacitor leads in there. I'd like to fix it and probably change out the 30 year old cap with a fresh one. Problem is I don't know how to solder. I can get a refurbed AC adapter on Ebay with a new cap installed but then I'd be stuck with the old one sitting around.

    Wat do? Fix my existing AC adapter or get refurbed one?

      Electrolytics are the first thing to suspect when an electronic device stops working (eg. I put it in the closet 10 years ago and now it won't turn on). I recently fixed my turntable (a Linn Axis) by replacing four large electrolytics.

        I agree but in this case his power brick probably had the capacitor leads come loose from being dropped so it only makes intermittent contact.

          right. well in any case it would still be good to install a new filter cap in the power brick while fixing it.

      Being able to speak against the SNES is new, these threads used to be deleted as well. It would seem that enough different people were expressing disdain towards the SNES that moderation has been forced to shift to allow these threads, to reflect the changing tide of popular opinion against the SNES. It's really quite refreshing to see, finally we are able to freely share our opinions.

          LOL you would be quite disappointed if there were an IP counter, maybe you'd finally realise that there aren't nearly as many SNES lunatics these days as there once were. Who am I kidding, you would probably just continue to live in you're delusion and make up fantastical stories about how it's all still one person, just posting from multiple IP's. The tides are turning and you are losing, and I could not be more pleased to see it.
