Best 16-bit Console

[Necromancer]

I stand by my earlier comment:

XaviX was the 16-bit Wii

8-bit too, as some games had 6502s and other games have 65816s.

I voted Obey! But no sega saturn sad day

How can any one be the best?  All have advantages & disadvantages over eachother in both hardware and software.

Oh, also...

...Sega Genesis...had VERY few impressive Games Graphically

You...you're joking right? I'm about to be that guy.

We've got:
Alien Soldier
Ranger-X
Red Zone
Gunstar Heroes
Thunder Force IV
Mega Turrican
Shinobi III
Bio Hazard Battle
Virtua Racing
Street Racer
Contra: Hard Corps
Zero Tolerance (plays better than any other unassisted-16-bit FPS)
Duke Nukem 3D
Earthworm Jim (two of em)
Yu-Yu Hakusho Makyou Toitsusen
Castlevania Bloodlines
Star Cruiser
Beyond Oasis
Skitchin'

Maybe even more.  If you care to make a similar list for the other two systems, then be my guest.

Also, I've decided that anyone who says the Genesis has shitty sound & advocates for the other systems is an stoopid head.  Sure some Genesis games sound like Casio farts, but others sound like arcade perfection.  Some SNES games sound like redbook audio...others sound like really low-quality MIDIs, which can also occasionally be likened to the unmistakable sound of flatulence.  The PCE in the wrong hands produces shrill, master system style PSG tones that have no place on 16-bit hardware & honestly, rarely sufficed on 8-bit IMHO.

And I'm done.  Sorry I'm an insufferable fanboy, but I'm more than willing to be proven wrong.

Neo Geo dead last :\

Look at who I was responding to and you'll have your answer.

As an insufferable fanboy, I'll point out that you just proved yourself wrong one way or the other and that you are "an stoopid head."

You did notice I said "in the wrong hands", yes?  In good hands, the PCE sings almost as well, if not better than the genesis or SNES.  As for my PSG comment, I'm just not a huge fan of the Ti chip sound on its own.  I find the NES' sound hashing more variability & potential.

Skitchin' is not worthy of sucking my left one.

Refrain from ever mentioning that shite again.

The same goes for the rest of the crappagio from FEKA.

THAT'S CORRECT, MY HATRED OF FEKA HAS FORCED ME TO DESPISE THE PCE PORTS OF SEGA  GAMES.

Also, suck it.

    I am a big fan of Skitch'n.  Fun game but yeah not the best of it's Genre.

[VenomMacbeth]

I mentioned it because we were talking about graphically impressive games.  Oh, I also forgot to mention Domark's F1 game.

[esteban]

Venom, you know I'm just teasing you about Genesis/MD. I love that console.

[VenomMacbeth]

Of course!  I was tempted to throw back some unfounded shade about the PCE...but it's just too good!  I couldn't think of anything! ._.

[rcantor77]

I just voted for PCE (Obviously) and the Neo... which I was very disappointed to see was in last place.

The thing was a home arcade system, no dodgy ports... the supreme quality of the games on the system wipes the floor with most of the SFC and MD games. But don't get me wrong, I love both of those systems too and tbh, it is hard to say out of the four which one is best.

Next time, can someone put a vote up for which generation is best as that is easy... 4th. Poll over.

On this list it's the Genesis by a Mile, or at least it should be.  The Cost, Availability, and quality of the Library makes it so.
