Sega VS Nintendo Documentary - The Greatest Console War of all Time - DLive Exclusive
After the popularity of my last documentary on the console wars I figured I'd follow up with the greatest battle of all time. Sega Genesis Vs The Super Nintendo. An era defined by cool and neon gak featured two distinct camps wherein Sega actually won for a short couple of years. What happened next was a crazy infatuation with their own products and the rise of a new power player: Sony.

Thanks for being here!!
as a kid, i had an SNES and my best friend had a Megadrive/Genesis... and even though we would argue a lot over who had the better console and better games... i secretly preferred the games that were available on the Genesis. like the Sonic games, micro machines, echo, but when it came to StarFox, the SNES ruled supreme.
Nintendo had the market, and Sega, although a much older arcade company, couldn't settle on a fixed mascot and could not compete with Mario.
to be fair, i have owned and played on a lot of consoles, and the late 80's, early 90's... aka the golden age of gaming, is when games were at there purist, and imaginative.
''my console is 16bit...'' .... ''yeah well, mine is 32 bit so there... ''
Oh man first time I saw StarFox running on a big TV I thought Star Wars had come to home video game consoles. Funny tho in hindsight it's not that impressive anymore.
oh yeah. it is one of those games that has aged very badly, but the team in the UK that developed the Super FX chip were the creators of Starfox, to ''show off'' its 3D potential, as ever game before it on a home console had been... at best, 2.5D. the story behind the game and for what it was at the time was very impressive indeed.... i think i did a post about the history of Nintendo some time last year. i will dig it out... there is some interesting stuff i found out during my research.
It wasn't the complete history,,, just the NES i covered a while back... still a good read though, and one of my more popular posts.... you can find the post HERE

I agree with the fact that Sega was more experimental and innovative than Nintendo when it comes to the Sega CD. They also were obsessed with the success of the Genesis and kept trying to hold onto it. Hence the 32X the CDX the Nomad the Genesis 2 and the Genesis 3. Nintendo just went from one full console to another.
Great read. We should collab on a video at some point ;)
thanks very much information sir
Sega does what nintenDON'T!
Yeah, I said it. :P
Double time! Guess we know what side of the fence you land on.
In all seriousness, though, Both platforms had some great games. I'll say the SNES had the better RPGs, better audio, and better nostalgia factor. But Sega had better marketing, overall installations, and wider appeal. At the time, Sega was better, but now, the SNES takes it.
I still love my Genesis, though...
very nice cartoon funny games

The greatest console war was 3DO versus Atari Jaguar but I see where you're coming from. =D
I remember these good old days. I was firmly in the SNES camp, I didnt like the Genesis Controllers. But after this generation Playstation came out and I bailed on Nintendo. All these years later I am still a Sony fanboy. I am interested in getting a switch though for the new Zelda game.
