Goddamn, why is the Genesis sound so shitty?
How long until someone proves this skeleton wrong with Streets of Rage?

>sounds so shitty
Excuse me anon, but the genesis had the best bass and drum sound effects, fell in love with that shit right away

The muffled samples of SNES could never compete with this
>>333821940
No but an NES might.
>>333822106
Only with an extra chip. But even then not really, NES can sound great but it doesn't have the sound variety.

>>333820167
Go fuck your mother you american cunt.
The FM chip on the Genesis was far superior to the soundchips of nintendo at the time.
The people who utilized the Genesis soundchip effectively made some god tier OSTs. Of course, there also plenty of nasty shits made for it.
>>333822849
People should remember the genesis was 2 years older than the SNES. So OBVIOUSLY the SNES sounds better
Average Genesis song

It's highly dependent on the composer and the track. Yes there are some god awful Genesis sounds but there's some amazing ones as well.

high budget AAA Genesis game:

SNES LJN shovelware trash:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8Q0s95SRXMin all seriousness I like both SNES and Genesis sound, I think they both have their strengths and weaknesses
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WLn7z5x2Rg
Best version
>>333823124
You can't just go around and cherry pick two different tracks from different composers like this for an apt comparison.
At least post two comparable tracks side by side.

And for the bonus round have an arranged version.

>Turn on SNES
>toodily to do do dooooooo!~
SNES had the cuckest sound chip of all time, just a bunch of awful stock midi flute, brass, and string sounds with bathroom reverb.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTObNtPZimQ
You cannot deny that SNES lacked the overall punch of the Genesis sound chip.

>>333824513
Sorry. PTSD
>>333824257
cool thing with emulation is that the genesis chip can be rendered at higher frequencies and the snes can have the lowpass and interpolation filters disabled (depending on the game, can sound much clearer / better or harsh and abrasive)
>>333820167
Because of this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamaha_YM2612
FM synthesis was pretty basic on a console that cheap.
Digital sound didn't really appear until the Dreamcast era in consoles.
>nintendo fanboys are still fighting this ancient console war
Probably because it was the last gen where nintendo weren't embarrassed by the competition.
>>333824208
SNES actually sounds like it was recorded in a bathroom
The chip just couldn't do action soundtracks, SEGA was the king of sci-fi and action, especially the former. SEGA created THE sci-fi sound that made you long to see space
This thread is now a 90's video game music thread.

As always, I blame Half Life 2
80's SEGA is best SEGA

Here's some YM2612 covers of SNES tracks.. I'm cheating though, cause Geckoyamori is a fucking FM synthesis sorcerer.

There was a Super Metroid cover, but it's not on youtube, wish I still had the link for it.
