So what the hell was up with them omitting stuff? On the Genesis you had to enter a code for it. And even that was still there, it was just changed to sweat. Missing this, missing that, always in the SNES version, with the only exception being the blood in Mortal Kombat. They left stuff out of the Genesis version all the time. I'm surprised that the Genesis version of Mortal Kombat wasn't the one without the blood in it. That's the only ones that I can think of right now, but I'm sure that there's more. Sunset Riders - 2 characters on Genesis, 4 characters on SNESĬadash - OK, so it wasn't on the SNES too, but if it was, the SNES would've had all 4 characters. Nothing else makes any sense at all about it. I bet the evil Nintendo forced developers to make Genesis games that appeared on both systems inferior to the SNES version in some way. It's not like the Genesis couldn't handle it. I never understood why the Genesis frequently omitted playable characters that were present in the SNES version. On the other hand, the SNES was generally superior graphically due to the simple fact that it supported more colors onscreen, but we all already know all that. The SNES version is much closer to the arcade.

The only exception I can think of off the top of my head is Smash T.V.

Raiden Trad and ThunderForce 3 (Spirits/AC on the SNES) were MUCH better on the Genesis. Any of the shmups that appeared on both machines were better on Genesis. All of the Maddens and NHLs were leagues better on the Genesis. The much faster clock speed allowed the Genesis to handle both sports games and shoot 'em ups much more competantly. There are two areas where the Genesis far outshines the SNES. The SNES version just didn't play correctly at all, blood & fatalities or not, though if it were uncensored, we all might be saying otherwise. I also agree that the original was better on Genesis, though the SNES version looked better in screenshots. The SNES version was much closer to the arcade than its Genesis counterpart, though the latter was a great improvement over the original.
