Aug 14, 2014 · We know Sega had the superior version of Mortal Kombat, and declaring a winner between the premiere beat-em-ups is pretty easy too. The contenders were Sega's Streets of Rage and SNES's Final Fight.

There is nothing more exciting for a preteen than to go to his friend’s house and load a Genesis cartridge to have the SEGA logo pop up with that unmistakable vocalization of “SEGA!” It was even more exciting to notice which games had a gag with the SEGA intro logo. Everyone got in on the act: Sonic the Hedgehog, Genie from Aladdin, Doraemon, Earth...
Though I lack the concrete evidence to prove that black is the sexiest color of them all, I am quite positive there is something about an object being black that makes it intrinsically sexy and cool. The Little Black Dress. The New Black. These are all phrases that call to the special nature of the color black. Guess what? The Sega Genesis was inde...
During the first console wars, exclusive titles and franchises defined what a system was and what fanbase it can attract. The term “killer app” referred to a game so influential that people often purchased the console just to play it (i.e. Space Invaders for the Atari 2600). Every exclusive series that Nintendo had, Sega duplicated it for the Genes...
Nintendo has strange justifications for their marketing and business practices. Earlier this year, they announced that they would end the production of the NES Classic Edition despite selling over 2 million units and market demand for more. As someone who never even came close to attaining one, hearing this news created an incredibly sour taste in ...
Nintendo did not make it easy for third-party companies, due to the strict rules they presented in their contract agreements. For the duration of the company’s first two home consoles, Nintendo placed quotas on how many games each third-party could release any given year, what kind of censorship each title went through, and even preventing them fro...
Transformers is one of the most lucrative and influential franchises in the world with tons of collaborations, sponsorships, and tie-in. As a Transformers collector, I have seen them all: Pepsi Prime, Swerve the Chevrolet Aveo, and a Hello Kitty that transforms into a semi-truck. You know what I have never seen? A Super Nintendo Transformer. But do...
What do I mean by cooler? For a preteen, whatever your parents restricted your access to was instantly cool. This meant no Mortal Kombat, no Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, and no Beavis and Butthead. The Genesis’s advertising campaigns and bad-boy persona didn’t make it very attractive to parents and relatives. I remember my aunt telling me she...
This one might cause some backlash. What should be considered a better game? Better gameplay, graphics, or sounds? For me, when it feels right and fun, that is what constitutes better. I think there is some 'je ne sais quoi' about the Genesis version or most third-party games. Sure, there are times when Genesis just stinks up their ports and versio...
Genesis had a litany games to whet the appetite of those looking for violence and gore. Titles such as Splatterhouse and Eternal Champions were classics that featured great gameplay with some gruesome deaths sprinkled in. Some might say the SNES had Killer Instinct, but I look to that as more of an outlier. Bar none, Genesis maintained a more blood...
Have you ever accessed DLCs or downloaded demos for upcoming games through PSN or Xbox Live? For most people with modern consoles, the answer is yes. Being connected online is so essential now that there are modes and features designed just for being on the internet. Sega did the same thing for the Genesis nearly two decades ago. The Sega Channel w...
- Sega Was Focused On An Older Demographic Than Nintendo At The Time. When you think of Nintendo you automatically think of colorful graphics and childish games, and this was a reputation that the console industry had been stuck with.
- The Sega Genesis Featured A Game With The 7-UP Cool Spot. The Sega Genesis transcended average gaming and brought the joy of video games to a more mainstream crowd, and as such there was a good deal of cross-promotion as well.
- The Sega Genesis Birthed Many Classics That We See Today. The Sega Genesis was not just the first true 16-bit console to hit the market, it was also the console that pretty much innovated the entire gaming industry and brought true arcade gaming straight to the living room.
- The Genesis Could Play Six Games Simultaneously With The Jukebox. For anyone who grew up in the eighties and the nineties, there was nothing worse than having to get up and blow a cartridge out when you wanted to play a different game, but luckily there was a unit that was called The Jukebox which allowed gamers to play six different titles at once.
It's got a great library of games, and for it's time, it was a technological wonder, especially when you included the Sega CD in the mix. Everyone that compares the SNES directly to the Genesis has to remember that the Genesis is two YEARS older, and I think we're all aware of how quickly technology advances. 1. Reply.
