    Why do you play Sega? Are you retarded or somethin? Sega has less
    colors, runs slower, has *kid* games and is just plain Shitty. Nintendo has more colors, run faster, has adult games and it’s much more color. Sega is
    for retarded furry faggot homosexual people, Nintendo is for real people. Get real, play it cool, play Nintendo.

    Mode 7 isn’t hype. From a programming point of view it's VERY special. It isn’t like "blast processing".

    All of what the SNES guy is true.

    THE SNES DOES have a faster processor than the Genesis. The Genesis' processor doesn’t go twice as fast.

    And no(and these days perhaps resulted is a better word) SNES games have better control than Genesis games.

    So no programmers have developed snes games perfectly and the SNES doesn’t have a sluggish processor, and the fact remains.

    As for Sega not doing mode 7, NOBODY say that's a good thing. In many ways this exciting special effect has NOT abused and NEVER ruined any games, and Stanley Cup Hockey was awesome for snes. False, Sega games have NO special effects similar to what the
    SNES can do. Genesis can’t do special effects

    It’s NOT in the matter of knowing the system (SNES is known quite well by programmers and many special features and workarounds have been achieved) and at this point the SNES system is at the height of its powers (The SNES has infinite power. For most
    people, owning the SNES is (and perhaps still is) the best way to go as the SNES offer it’s advantages compared to Sega.

    You should check out Batman and Robin for the Genesis for some of the best looking graphics on that console, even of the 16 bit generation of consoles. Never seen anything on the SNES as impressive, including those FX chip games that really actually just
    looked like low FPS dogshit. There is definitely an 'effect' going on with how they designed the side scrolling. It was truly a remarkable perspective mapping technique that the Genesis achieved that even earlier PSX and Saturn 2d platformers / 3D
    rendered games would be doing years later. Here's a timestamped playthrough video on a level that looks especially amazing

    Calling out the Genesis for not capable of having 'effects' is not fair- the 16 bit market was so saturated with crap that the status quo of development meant no one was willing to spend time or money to really utilize the hardware that talented
    development could possibly get to.
