Batman Returns (CD)
Biohazard Battle
Castlevania Bloodlines
Comix Zone
Contra Hard Corps
Final Fight CD
Forgotten Worlds
Gaiares
Ghouls n Ghosts
Golden Axe I-III
Gunstar Heroes
MERCS
MUSHA
Panorama Cotton
Punisher
Ranger X
Revenge of Shinobi, Shinobi III, and Shadow Dancer
Robo Aleste (CD)
Rocket Knight Adventures
Rolling Thunder 2-3
Splatterhouse 2-3
Strider
Super Fantasy Zone
Thunder Force II-IV
TMNT: Hyperstone Heist
Streets of Rage 1-3
Vectorman 1-2
X-Men

I'm probably forgetting stuff that will embarrass me too. There was just a ton.

And the first person that comes back with some slowdown-ridden shit on SNES should just leave.

Okay, I'll bite:

ActRaiser
ActRaiser 2
Adventures of Batman & Robin
Aero Fighters
Axelay
Battletoads in Battlemaniacs
Blackthorne
Captain Commando
Castlevania IV
Contra III: The Alien Wars
Cybernator
Darius Twin
Demon’s Crest
Final Fight 1-3
Gradius III
Hagane: The Final Conflict
Ignition Factor
Knights of the Round
Mega Man 7
Mega Man X1-X3
Metal Warriors
Ninja Gaiden Trilogy
Phalanx
Pocky & Rocky 1-2
R-Type III: The Third Lightning
Skyblazer (Most underrated 16-bit action game ever. I'd take it over Strider)
Space Megaforce
Sparkster
Star Fox
Sunset Riders (Better on Super NES)
Super Double Dragon
Super E.D.F.
Super Ghouls N’ Ghosts
Super Metroid
Super R-Type
Super Stars Wars, Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi
Super Turrican 1-2
TMNT: Turtles in Time
U.N. Squadron

I'm not going to argue that the Super NES action/shooter lineup was better (I actually prefer the Genesis' overall), but it's misleading to make it sound like the Super NES couldn't compete.

Yoshi failed by putting the Sega CD Batman and Robin on his list. Aside from the nifty cartoon intermissions, that game sucks balls.

Your mom sucks balls.

His mom is Batman and Robin Sega CD?

paradox!

Well, damn it, I didn't have to use the dog bone either! Neither did any SNES player. I got myself a spiffy C&E Controls 6-button arcade stick with real arcade microswitches. Eat that, Genesis!

1: It was Special Championship with Turbo, not slow-ass Championship Edition from the arcade.

2: I never saw your spiffy C&E Controls stick at any Electronics Boutique. I did, however see the Sega 6- button controller there. I got what was available to me at the time.

Go back through and remove the games completely ruined by slowdown like Super R-Type, Gradius III, U.N. Squadron, etc. and then let's talk.

And Mega Man sucks. Get that shit of your list. I had the decency to keep it off mine.

None of those games have slowdown worse than Metal Slug 2, and if that game wasn't ruined by it, neither are any of the ones listed.
