SNES or Sega Genesis?

Sega was kind of the jack of all master of none thing. SNES had more stars, but Genesis had more games I enjoyed.

This sums up my opinion on it perfectly.

Nintendo seemed to have better build quality for its peripheral hardware. When I find old units at garage sales the SNES controllers usually work fine. I haven't seen a Sega system with fully working controllers in many years. The Sega buttons seem to have a habit of getting stuck. In both cases the console units themselves tend to work normally. I wonder how well today's consoles will operate when they're 25+ years old.

I personally loved my Sega Genesis. My parents made the right choice getting me that while ALL of my friends had SNES. I loved discovering Sega Genesis only gems like: Starflight, Shadowrun(Genesis version was way superior from an RPG standpoint), and I discovered Bill Walsh's college football and FIFA Soccer. They both turned out to be awesome co-op games with friends, and the device that allowed 4-players to play.

Bill Walsh college football was the best football game of that era by far imo.
