@Roboshi The Genesis had superior Music Hardware. The problem lied with with untrained programers. But in the right hands, it can sound incredible. Try Sonic 3, Ecco the Dolphin 1 & 2, Red Zone, Vectorman, ect...

^ it didn't have better music hardware. it could have a great, distinctive sound, but SNES had more powerful and more flexible sound hardware.

^ The Genesis is the only game system in history to come with an actual sound card built in. A Z80 Microprocessor to control the whole card system, and the Joystick ports, a Yamaha YM2612 (OPN) for FM and PCM output. A Texas Instruments Ti80 series PSG Squarewave Generator, and finally, a 256kb Wavetable memory chip wich can hold General MIDI 96 sounds. In total, 10 voices.

The SNES Just has a Sony DSP hooked up to a modified MOS 6502. It's wavetable is only 20 sounds and had 5-6 voices.

Yeah, SNES is more flexable... (/Sarcasm)

It's just a pity the mega drive was never tested really, the actual games that were worth the time were pretty few and far between. at least in comparison to the snes.

great system but poor third party support.

Oh yes and look at all the awesome games like Final Fantasy III, Secret of Mana, Lufia, Super Metroid, Megaman X, Castlevania IV and .... wait a minute. Yes I own a Genesis and honestly Phantasy Star was good but not as good as FF III, Bloodlines is just a pale shadow of Castlevania IV, Ristar was a missed chance, Mortal Kombat was just a novelty, Ecco was bad and finally the star of the system ... Sonic, probably the only game in history that was ruined by its very own fanbase.

@PynkyPy All the nifty hardware in the world won't save your console if your games aren't fun. Nintendo understood that.
