Come on, anon. I'm a Nintendo fanboy and I still will admit that the Genesis has some amazing games, like Gunstar Heroes, Rocket Knight Adventures, Splatter House, Shinobi, Monster World, Castle of Illusion, Quackshot and YuYuHakusho to name a few.
I agree with the farting noises, though. And that was weird considering that some Genesis games had an incredible soundtrack.

If anything that is less of a problem on genesis as compared to SNES due to genesis having the higher resolution. This is most apparent in multiplat games such as Pitfall. SNES version has a significantly smaller FOV.

I think it's harder to get into the MD than into the SNES.
A console is only as good as it's games. No Mario, no Zelda - not to say there are no good MD games but none of the amazing titles lived on with still standing IPs - like Mario or Zelda for example.
That's probbaly what makes it less interesting for people that didn't grow up with a MD/Genesis.

this shit was inexcusable for a home console released in 1988

early games were fine due their simplistic nature, but mid-late releases tried to make up for the lack of colors with a fuckton of dithering

Am I to infer from that comment that all those who enjoy a game because of its playability have homosexual tendencies? Strange little maggot you are. I want to drop a piano on you, and then I want to beat what's left of you into pulp with an Acme mallet. You odious shit. You serial hamster botherer. You honk of a pedo clown's nose.

Damn near every arcade arcade and even PC game was rife with dithering intended to be blended with analog signals. A cursory glance in MAME with games from the late 80s would show you this, but I understand that being a zoomer you need to act like an authority on shit you've never even experienced second hand.
