Granted the Master System didn't have the sheer number of titles released for it the Nes had stateside in stores,if you mail ordered from Sega or import shops you could easily get some awesome titles for it which kinda evened the score some depending on what you liked playing. For what its worth,I perfer the Master System more because its titles were more of what I played. Ill take its arcade ports,and its independent titles any day of the week over the Nes arcade ports and Nes originals. Not that I dont like the Nes,I do to a extent,but the stuff I enjoy the Master System did better.
