sega 'nostalgically', nintendo 'critically'

i was very much pro sega as a kid because i got a master system then mega drive. When i finally got a snes one christmas after it became pretty cheap i ws absolutely blown away by super mario world and zelda. So, yeah, nintendo by a long way.

gamecube vs dreamcast is a difficult one. both two of the most aesthetically pleasing consoles of all time, gamecube maybe edges it for having most comfortable ever pad. dreamcast had some features that were 2 future 4 u
i was a nintendo kid. started out on a colour gb then graduated to the n64. so obv nintendo. but i did enjoy a fair few sega games as well. for example over time, outrun has become an important game to me. i'm sure the same goes for the sega kids. not once did i ever feel any gamer's envy toward the other side

I guess I'm amplifying the console rivalry that was happening while I was growing up too much, I didn't even realize this was about more than SNES vs. Genesis.

I had a lotta fun on the Genesis and Dreamcast but Nintendo all the way.
Sega Channel could maybe have swayed me but I never had that.

game gear had the master system converter, and was the first colour hand held. ahead of its time. i have a lot of respect for the way sega constantly innovated and stood by their mistakes - unlike nintendo who practically laughed gunpei yokoi out of the bulding as soon as the virtual boy flopped

DC game I should probably be embarrassed that I loved but fuck it: 18 Wheeler
― begs the question, when is enough enough (Euler), Saturday, 20 February 2010 20:28 (fourteen years ago) link
its kinda bcum standard gamer challops 2 say but dc really did have an unfuckwithable line-up for the whole 18 months it was on the mkt. and btw on-line standard, vmus, fishing controllers, samba de amigo &c &c sega put mad innovation into the console.
realistically tho no1 can fuk w/the snes for all-time
― just supersayin (Lamp), Saturday, 20 February 2010 20:33 (fourteen years ago) link
vmus were pretty strange: I had two of them but never really played any of the games on them and kinda thought wtf at the whole idea
― begs the question, when is enough enough (Euler), Saturday, 20 February 2010 20:35 (fourteen years ago) link
Yeah, at first it's kind of a neat thing to see but it wasn't really utilized at all. Nintendo tried to use a similar idea with the GC/GBA connectivity with horrible results.

DC, oxymoronically, ahead of its time and behind it simultaneously

i will say that the dreamcast might be my all-time least favorite controller.

yeah seriously.
great lil' system while it lasted though!

I bought it on day one and played the shit out of Soul Calibur for years
― nitzer ENBB (latebloomer), Saturday, 20 February 2010 21:29 (fourteen years ago) link
why was the cord attached facing the player and not the system? Never got that.
― forksclovetofu, Saturday, 20 February 2010 21:31 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah! that always confused me too.
― nitzer ENBB (latebloomer), Saturday, 20 February 2010 21:36 (fourteen years ago) link
I bought it on day one it started selling for $50 (i.e. the day it was discontinued).
The controller sucked but it's been a great toy for my son, who used it as "his xbox" before he was old enough to know better.
