Both have a fantastic library of games, but if I had to choose, I’d go for SNES. I mean, c’mon, Mega Man X muh dudes.

Got em both. Plus an NES N64 Gamecube PS2 PS3 Atari 2600 GBC GBA SP Wii Wii U Switch Intellivison Coleco DS and 2DS

I pick The Powerful And Great Blue One

Jokes on you, Trixie. I had both growing up… and very few games for either because we mostly rented back in the day.

I can emulate both those on my phone.

On the one hand, hoof, whatever, I already have a SNES. I also have another machine that has and allows me to play all the games for that system.
 
On the other hand, if I understand correctly, the Genesis included a cache of audio as part of the hardware, and games that took advantage of that played better than games that didn’t. And, I have to wonder if that didn’t hurt Sega in the long run. Still, the Genesis did have several good games, as did the SNES.
 
This is proving to be a more difficult choice than I thought it’d be.

Obviously SNES.

Genesis. You certainly wouldn’t find stuff like Splatterhouse 2 or Castlevania: Bloodlines on the SNES.

Genesis

Nintendo Switch

SNES.

Mega Drive, easily

SNES > Neo-Geo > TurboGrafx-16 > Philips CD-i > Genesis

Genesis. It had better games on it than the Super Nes did.

@Enmity1498  
Yeah but you could just either build/buy a Retropie and emulate everything from the nes to the dreamcast.

Trixie

@Angrybrony  
AKA, neither

playstation.

But seriously, the SNES.

Me:

Technically, you could also hack one of the consoles and add games that were not already there.

SNES is classic indeed but I would pick Trixie
