I thought he was a Nintard? Either way, there is no fucking way that Genesis music was better than SNES music. I'd say the SNES music was leagues better than the competition until CD based gaming emerged.

Shaka Khan · « **Reply #18 on:** August 06, 2012, 12:37:56 AM »

Wasn't that argument always related to the hardware?

Anyhow when it comes to sound, I always trust jarosh implicitly, it's his area of expertise.

Himu · « **Reply #19 on:** August 06, 2012, 12:39:40 AM »

I prefer Genesis because it's what I grew up with but they're both great at their own styles.

SNES SF2 music sucked shit. Genesis and Arcade for life.

Momo · « **Reply #20 on:** August 06, 2012, 03:45:33 AM »

Genesis music is better, suck my clit.

(I prefer the sound, not making any technical arguments here)

Didn't we have this argument before?

Anyways: Mega Man X. That is all.

Fifstar · « **Reply #23 on:** August 06, 2012, 07:39:53 AM »

SNES and Genesis soundchips are just vastly different from a technical level, so it doesn't really make sense to compare them, it's basically a Sampler vs. a Synth.

Streets of Rage 2 ost stomps and shits all over Mega Man X ost. SNES is better at trying to emulate orchestrated, hollywood-esque tracks. Genesis is all about dat

It's truly sad how all these indie games polluting the industry today have yet to understand what it's like and what it takes to deliver a moment that can really just pull you in like that one.

Yeah, I can jump along walls and avoid spinning blades or dig for rocks or something stupid. But can you make me feel?

Roger Ebert clearly never played Final Fantasy VII.

Not even close benjii, Wai Wai World II OST is factually the best NES OST

Goemon

Castlevania

Twin Bee

Gradius

Upa

Pentarou

Contra

Fuuma

Himu · « **Reply #37 on:** August 06, 2012, 02:37:46 PM »

Genesis chip probably helps because it sounds like a lot of mainstream music from the 80's/90's so that really helps if you raised up during that time period.

benjipwns · « **Reply #38 on:** August 06, 2012, 02:37:56 PM »

But it's not even the Globetrotters theme!

Momo · « **Reply #39 on:** August 06, 2012, 02:45:19 PM »

Not even the globetrotters can beat Wai Wai's all star cast!

I'm going to replay the game tomorrow, it takes like 2 hours to beat at most and it has twin bee, gradius, castlevania, frogger, fuuma, goemon, contra and other obscure references

Best NES game ever imo

That's just the thing. The SNES is not even that good at the thing it's better at than the Genesis. Today, even the best "emulated orchestra" soundtracks from the SNES era sound incredibly outdated. But the Genesis' strength, synthesized music, will always sound timeless. Maybe at one point SNES music could have been considered more impressive sounding than Genesis music. But now that we have *real* orchestras in games, there's no longer any need for that kind of poor emulation/imitation. However, there's always a place for decent (FM) synthesis (which is not outdated and hasn't been replaced by anything) and chiptunes (because they have their own distinct, digital sound and personality and don't try to emulate real instruments).

I agree.

I think the main exception are the Dragon Quest games, and that's mostly because Sugiyama is a trained classical musician.

tiesto · « **Reply #42 on:** August 06, 2012, 05:00:10 PM »

Genesis was better for house, techno, industrial and synthpop, but shit at everything else... I will take the soundtracks of SOM and CT over nearly every single Genesis game by far though.

Sorry MAF, but some of us have a soul dammit! And when that poorly fleshed out character was killed by the guy who may or may not have been a clone -- or something -- and had that ridiculously long but badass curved blade, I just lost it. At that point, our motley crew of unlikable douche bag with bad hair and unwieldy sword, Mr. T with gun arm, big tits chick, lion guy, and Cid wanted, nay, demanded justice against Sephiroth/Sephiroth's clone/whatever the fuck it was.

I dare you to show me a more tragic scene in fiction that is more powerful than that. It can be from any medium. Go ahead, try!

You obviously haven't seen Good Burger.

Steve Youngblood · « **Reply #47 on:** August 07, 2012, 08:12:17 AM »

I could swear that I have. However, I don't remember anything except that their competitors were using some special formula that -- when put into a burger patty -- would make it really big. And that's all I've got. Am I forgetting a powerful scene where Kel dies or something?

Barry Egan · « **Reply #48 on:** August 07, 2012, 08:54:12 AM »

I can't remember myself, only that I was more moved on the whole by that film then by Final Fantasy VII. I do think Kenan and Kel have a pretty big falling out at one point that tore pretty deep.

Himu · « **Reply #49 on:** August 07, 2012, 08:55:58 AM »

KENAN WAS USING KEL'S PAYCHECK TO PAY FOR THE WRECKED CAR.

When kenan's gf found out, he gets real depressed! Real morbid for a kids movie!!!

Steve Youngblood · « **Reply #50 on:** August 07, 2012, 09:01:08 AM »

That does sound pretty tragic. I was going to verify myself, but Good Burger is not on Netflix instant streaming, so I'll just concede the point: Good Burger is more tragic than Final Fantasy VII.

Himu · « **Reply #51 on:** August 07, 2012, 09:05:48 AM »

90's nick films owned.

harriet the spy is another tragic film! She spies on friends and then the bitch girl reads aloud all of the stuff she writes about her friends in her journal! I read the book a few months later but it's not as emotionally gripping as the film was! Harriet the Spy was perfect for an 11 year old!

Barry Egan · « **Reply #52 on:** August 07, 2012, 09:11:32 AM »

Harriet the spy was genuinely a downer. I'll always remember when Sport found the diary entry that read: " Sport is way too poor for my taste. Enjoy 'pasta night' you penniless taco". That was pretty cold.

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #53 on:** August 07, 2012, 09:35:58 AM »

Harriet the Spy wasn't as good as Matilda. Yeah, I went there.
