I bought my Sega Genesis November 1991, and I bought my SNES March of 1992  thanks to full-time employment and a nice fat tax return. I owned both at the same time, and they went together like peanut butter and chocolate. Owning three 16-bit consoles seemed like too much to me, so I never did get a TG-16, but I sooo wanted one! Thinking back, I was never a fanboy. I liked all consoles, even the ones I could not afford. When I had an Atari 2600 and an SMS,I never said Nintendo sucked. I wanted a NES, but it wasn't financially feasible, so I played Super Mario at friend's houses or the arcades.

I remember these attitudes well. The concept of owning two consoles was so completely alien that you had to pick one. There was no room for 2! How do you own 2? You pick one and trash the other!

I had both systems; All the neighborhood kids hung out at my house because we had both an SNES and Genesis everybody else in the neighborhood had one or the other.

^ Married friend I used to work with and haven't spokne to in a while asked my opinion of the U. That's how I answered. Fair?

Pretty accurate and pretty fair. The only other thing that may have been worth mentioning are the Wonderful 101 and the definitive Rayman Legends which both show up in the next couple months.

When someone asks me about the Wii U I say I regret buying one at launch, it has very little to play and its basically just going to be a Nintendo game playing machine.

I didn't think Nintendo had lent so much to Atlus. I tell you what, if Nintendo is serious about wanting to dominate Japanese sales picking up Atlus would be the slam dunk to do it.

Yeah no one could afford two. I was Genesis all the way. MK with blood was like having MJ on your team, it won almost every argument. SEGA!

I had two at the same time; So I got to experience most of the games.

I don't really remember much of the Genesis; Mainly Mortal Kombat Trilogy and Sonic the Hedgehog 1 - 3; I spent most of my time playing SNES.

The reply:  "Lol that was a thesis thanks. I will probably buy it around Christmas when the price drops because of the new Xbox etc. you'd be proud the 9 year old is hooked on golden sun, advance wars, civilization, age of empires, Pokemon, kingdom hearts, etc."

He's rasing a little Napolean who will bread pocket monsters to rule the kingdom.

Well, I couldn't afford two. If I didn't receive my console for Christmas, then I wouldn't get one. Fuck Sega and their Mortal Kombat with blood!

That argument died when MK2 was released. The SNES version was clearly superior and it had blood! But in reality, there was no ground for any arguments what so ever. The Genesis had Sonic so it lost by default.

It really doesn't matter because real cool kids were too busy playing Street Fighter 2 and didn't have time to even give a crap about Mortal Kombat. And the Genesis version of SFII was utter crap.

Blast processing something something!

Mode 7, baby!
