"does Sega or Nintendo have more soul?" >> Anonymous 01/09/21(Sat)01:18:25 No.7272075▶ Nintendo had some cool things here and there, but when you think about it, the most they experimented in was one-off games and neat new tech like the S-FX. Sega fucked up and hard, but they pushed the envelope and experimented all over the place, arguably have one of the best console beat-em-ups of that whole generation, and had sort of a spark and pizazz to it that no one else had. Sega is full of retarded old men nowadays that ruin everything, but they at least had something neat going on whereas Nintendo was always the safe and stable thing that you could fall back to for usually-quality times with few lows in terms of first-party. It'll always be console war stupidity, this coming from a person that has every mainstream console and thus never cared much for the fanboyisms and wars part, but I'd say that for all their failings Sega had more of a spark back then. --- so, sega's like the warner brothers, to nintendo's disney --- >> Anonymous 01/09/21(Sat)03:06:02 No.7272247▶ Both console brands were run like pretty soulless operations back in the day.

Modern Sonic is soulless as fuck, but the Classic one and his world exude charisma. SEGA has a Conan-like world like Golden Axe; an 80s urban city world like Streets of Rage; a ninja series Shinobi with a similar 80s feel and lots of pop culture references; their main RPG franchise Phantasy Star can be described as Dragon Quest + Star Wars / Flash Gordon; an arcade racing with summer and Ferrari aesthetics (Out Run); SEGA has a rhythm series featuring aliens, a Space Michael Jackson and the overall aesthetic of the 60s and 70s (Space Channel 5); a series about inline skating, graffiti and one of the earliest examples (if not the first one) of true cel-shading in videogames (Jet Set Radio); a literal Yakuza game, etc. It's not even close actually. >> Anonymous 01/09/21(Sat)11:45:07 No.7273412▶>>7275569 >>7271556 (OP) Nintendo, Sega was pure marketing gimmicks.

I'll argue with the facts that Sega did have a presence in the 90s comparable to them, but Nintendo churned out solid titles each generation while the company is still in the pioneering, experimental days of R&D1. Now, if you're to ask, 'Which company "has" more soul? Nintendo or Sega?' Sega easily. Nintendo is undoing its legacy by cashing in on its influence, and hasn't made a significant gimmick or game worth remembering since the N64 and its end days into the Gamecube. >> Anonymous 01/09/21(Sat)11:58:48 No.7273478▶>>7273515 >>7273461 >Nintendo has soul Yeah right. They were anti-competition, they weren't allowing third party companies to develop for other consoles during the 80's. Which prevented the Sega Master System from being dominate during the 8 bit era. >> Anonymous 01/09/21(Sat)12:05:43 No.7273515▶>>7273594 >>7273603 >>7274165 >>7273478 i can't find anything on the genesis that even comes close to link to the past, ff6, Super Mario World or chrono trigger. The essence of soulful games. >Which prevented the Sega Master System from being dominate If Sega was so good they would be able to do the same thing to Nintendo, duh, you want to beat your competitor in the market, big revelation. Sega wasn't good enough and just lost, Nintendo also didn't have anything to do with all the absolutely retarded decisions after the genesis, they did themselves in. >> Anonymous 01/09/21(Sat)12:32:27 No.7273615▶>>7273624 >>7271556 (OP) Nintendo is a soulless but successful corpo and Sega is a soulful but failing corpo >> Anonymous 01/09/21(Sat)12:50:03 No.7273680▶>>7273694 File: strike.png (10 KB, 212x212) 10 KB >>7272412 Not to mention how, on the corporate level, Sega was never afraid to innovate, where Nintendo are still stuck in the stone age in terms of understanding technology. Sega invented wireless controllers, game cases, online marketplaces (Sega Channel), and online play (MegaNet and SegaNet). Where Nintendo was trying to sue 3rd party accessory makers like Galoob out of existence, Sega had given Galoob's most popular product, the Game Genie, their official seal of approval. Where Nintendo hates emulation and PC gaming, Sega embraces it and was porting Genesis and Saturn games to Win95 at the same time they released for their respective consoles. They even helped develop the NV1 Diamond Edge, a literal Saturn emulator for Win95 on an Nvidia PCI card. >> Anonymous 01/09/21(Sat)12:54:06 No.7273694▶>>7273732 File: okawa-hero.png (283 KB, 894x375) 283 KB >>7273680 The true reason Sega has SOUL is this guy.

As for Zelda and FF6, the Genesis has the Phantasy Star series. I have no idea what Chrono Trigger is, but I do know Sega Genesis has other gems that rivals Nintendo's library of games such as Golden Axe, Splatterhouse and Streets Of Rage. Either way Nintendo is a soulless company that even went so far as to suing Galoob for selling Game Genies.
