Fighting games were better on SNES. Both systems got most of the same ones, but apart from Mortal Kombat 1, the SNES versions were usually superior. The main point of difference I can think of is Genesis's Eternal Champions vs SNES's Killer Instinct, which I'd say is strongly in favor of SNES.
Yeah I think that's fair. You also needed the 6 button controller for the Genesis to really play fighting games, which I'd guess most people did not have.
LttP is Action/Adventure. Have we talked about that genre yet?
yeah this is one of those places where our genre classifications get a big wonky. there's no real comparison for LttP or Super Metroid, and there's not a quality comparable game for Shinobi III or Gunstar Heroes.
"Not a smackdown" ok bud
I'm probably being pretty generous for the Genesis there. I suppose RPGs really are one sided whether you count Japan releases or not. It just gets even more lopsided once you add Japan stuff.
You're missing a *ton* for the SNES set. Super Mario All-Stars, Megaman 7 and X1-3, Rockman & Forte, Kirby Super Star and Kirby's Dreamland 3... probably a few more I'm missing.
mostly a cutoff line thing (though I didn't count All-Stars because it's a port). I didn't count Vectorman 1 and 2 or Dynamite Headdy either!
also I'm not sure where it fits but Comix Zone is worth mentioning also!
