define casual a little if you would

>>3952124
easier

What was more causal?

What was more casual?

SNES easily. This shouldn't even need to be asked

both, consoles are for the pleb

>What was more casual?

The word "casual" wasn't used back in /vr/ times in the way you're using it.
Even "hardcore" was rarely used, it's a 00s thing.

Genesis by far in terms of its userbase, thanks to sports games

>>3952260
Platformer is the strongest genre on both consoles and platformers were the FPS/TPS of the 16-bit era.

Both consoles were for the pleb.

Real 90s casual is playing Tetris on your Game Boy and nothing else.

>>3952301
Tetris is a hardcore game, though

Snes no doubt

>>3952149

This. Genesis had better action arcade games and SNES had more family friendly games and RPG's.

>>3952317
You can beat arcade games in 20 minutes though.

>>3952317
>>3952149
What abotu the Mega Drive isn't family friendly?
Also, I find both systems have good action games.

Genesis had way better shmups if your into that. Undead Line and Thunder Force III are amazing. Contra and Castlevania are also better on Genesis than on SNES (excluding SCIV).

>>3952337
But SNES has also some great shmups though, Scrambled Valkyria and Super Aleste for example.
About Contra and Castlevania, it's the neverending debate, some people prefer Hardcorps, somepeople prefer Contra III. I think Contra III is harder, but I prefer Hard Corps.

>>3952337
Shmups are better on Arcade hardware though, even the ones that were eventually ported to Genesis.

>>3952337
But Castlevania IV was the weakest 16-bit Castlevania.

>>3952343

For a home console the Genesis had some really good shmups.

>>3952347
I respect your opinion, anon.

>>3952347

I dont agree. Dracula X looked pretty but sucked. Bloodlines was better in every way.

>>3952348
Undeadline is better on MSX. They removed the other two classes sans Warrior

>>3952359
The autoscroller sections and gimmicks killed Bloodlines.

>>3952365

SCIV is the second best traditional Castlevania, x68000 being the best. The PS had the best port.

>>3952365
>autoscroller sections
III also had these, and it's often considered the magnum opus of the series.

>gimmicks
You mean the parts in the final level which lasted less than a minute? Not that big of a deal.

>>3952371
>III also had these
Not quite the same, it's more like the screen slowly scrolls up bit by bit, it's more intense and challenging than the boring autoscrolly parts of Bloodlines, and not as long/often.

>>3952117

Whichever one had the most RPGs.

>>3952375
>This auto scrolling is different from this auto scrolling

>>3952387
Yes, one scrolls slowly bit by bit, and the other is a continuous scroller, not the same.
Not to mention the challenge in III is a lot bigger than what little challenge is on the Bloodlines scrollers.
If anything the vertical scrolling part on III is more similar to the vertical part with the saw coming from below in the last level on IV.
Bloodlines' autoscrollers feel more like filler (like the rotating room in IV)

>>3952387
That's what he said yes

>>3952117
Sega is for autists

>>3952418

Nintendo is for faggots

>>3952421
I wish. There's a cute bara guy at work who is a huge Nintendo nerd but he's straight ;_;

>>3952424

Nintendrones are all faggots.

>>3952293
>platformers were the FPS

No they fucking weren't. The social dynamics of gamers changed entirely with the generation that saw masses of people playing CoD and shit. If you never went to a friend's house only to find their Genesis had Sonic, Mortal Kombat and a shitload of garbage sports games then you simply weren't alive back then. Genesis' best games were not very popular.
