Master system kicks ass.

[@MrJ0mmy]

it kicks the nes ass but dumb Americas thought the nes was way better glad we knew better in new zealand where the sms was super popular and nes failed

[@zz_the_one539]

MrJ0mmy The nes controller kicked the SMS controllers' ass twice on Sunday. The SMS was good, but so many iconic characters and franchises started on the NES. Oh I don't know, Mario, Link, and Donkey Kong to name a few. The music was better to on the NES. The characters listed above had iconic music as well. Oh and Nintendo is still in business today, AND making consoles. Those Americans they are so dumb.......oh wait.

[@owlbelieveit6811]

Donkey Kong started in the arcade years before the NES. Just pointing that out.

[@spahr001]

Considering how different games were between platforms back then, I'm more surprised by the similarities than the differences.

[@Lavagemstomacal]

The SMS version looks great, like an early 16 bit

[@Korakaris]

I don't know why Americans were so obsessed with the NES. The Master System was far superior in every technical aspect but it lacked a little on the controllers themselves. But as far as games and comparisons, the truth is right before your eyes. You can also compare Ghouls and Ghosts, Bubble Bobble, Altered Beast, Alien 3 and Double Dragon on both machines and judge for yourself. Although there is nothing difficult to judge, this is clear as night and day. In the 8-bit TV consoles, SEGA was the king. Other awesome games on the Sega Master System that you should definitely check out are: the first Asterix, Asterix and the Great Rescue, Psycho Fox, Shinobi, Jurassic Park, Lemmings, R-Type, Shadow Of The Beast, Populous, Wonder Boy in Monster Land, Wonder Boy 3: The Dragon's Trap (which will also have an HD remake very soon), Cool Spot (with graphics almost 16-bit), Master Of Darkness, Super Kick Off, Ultimate Soccer, Mortal Kombat 1 and 2 just to name a few. Go watch any of these games and then go watch some NES games... It's a real shame that such a great console as the Master System, didn't had the media exposure that it deserved and all because Nintendo was more capable at marketing on the US than Sega. In Europe, Master System was the king of the time because simply it was better than the NES. In America, people were deceived by a clever Nintendo marketing department and they thought that the NES was on top of the world. No, it wasn't. The best 8-bit console that existed, was and always will be, the Sega Master System.

[@alexojideagu]

I agree it's so sad how Nintendo Brainwashed America and blackmailed developers and media outlets to support the NES. America stopped getting new SMS titles by around 1991 while Europe kept getting them until 1996. It drives me mad how the NES is Americans only 8bit reference. I'm so glad I grew up in the UK that had 8bit computers and the Master System etc

[@alexojideagu]

Another brainwashed NES Zombie.

[@andyukmonkey]

Alex Kidd in Miracle world is one of the most underrated platform games ever.

[@stufaman]

Nintendo were ruthless with their marketing to get NES off the ground in the US. But without the NES, the Master System would never have existed. NES didn't do so well in UK/EU because it didn't make much of an impact next to machines like Commodore 64. Where as SMS did. In Japan however, the SMS was Sega's third attempt at steeling Nintendo's thunder. That was how Nintendo won over so many third parties. That said, most UK/EU third parties were ignored in Japan and US. So SMS snapped up a lot of hidden talent.

[@painthenhope]

Korakaris You are correct. I am one of the few Americans that was not deceived by the NES marketing. When I was around 16 years old, I looked at and read an article comparing NES and SMS. I was trying to decide which to get. After reviewing the article, the SMS clearly had the better looking games. Phantasy Star is still my favorite game til this day. I have never regretted my choice of getting the SMS instead of NES. Great games like Kenseiden, Golvelius, Thunder Blade, Wonder Boy 2 and 3, Space Harrier, Outrun, R-type, Y's, Double Dragon with 2 players, etc. The SMS is the clear winner.

[@ravengaming4143]

[@MasterLinkuei]

The Master System have more Graphics, Colors and Difficulty selection, the NES version runs a little faster, but Master System WINS by far! After the Super Star Wars trilogy, this game and the empire strikes back for the NES are the best STAR WARS game ever made!

[@raycracauer8452]

SMS is better for the most part

[@satorukemono7831]

The Master System really is a fantastic console. It doesn't have many blockbuster games unlike the NES, but it had things that most consoles of today don't have: Built-in games, and an alternative way of playing games (Referring to the Card slot). I don't know anything about these consoles contextually as I'm 16 and I hadn't even seen an 8-Bit console when I was younger, but I've owned both of these (I bought my Master System recently and still have it) and i can conclude that the SMS plays much better than the NES, of which had the ridiculous problem of the cartridge slot barely working at all. I haven't had a single problem with SMS cartridges yet... Also, (This may be a little biased) Mario 1 on the NES seemed incredibly dull in comparison to Sonic 1 on the SMS (And yes I know it was ported from the Mega Drive but thats besides the point). I used to completely adore Nintendo's retro consoles, but I've veered completely to SEGA, because their consoles, whilst not too memorable or popular, were in a sense better consoles.

[@hyzenthlay7151]

Sonic wasn't ported from the Mega Drive, and that's why it was such a great game on the Master System. The Gema Drive was the first one, but instead of downgrading the existing game which usually ends up with a poor graphic rendition of the original game and clunky controls, they made the SMS Sonic from scratch with totally different levels and everything, so it was made for the SMS specifically, not ported. In fact, you can buy them both on both consoles and have 2 different games because they are very different. It's the same with all the Sonic platform titles.

[@AlexeyFilippenkoPlummet]

And Nintendo fan boys still praise their precious NES, while it has nothing special about it but being overly popular. SMS looks like 16 bit console, it's so ahead and neat! Same goes for NeoGeo - games there were just incredible, but all you hear in the US is "omg Nintendo is so good". That's a very good example of corporate monster - you take the market and you start dictating your rules and don't have to worry about being advanced too much. Even AVGN is a Nintendo fan boy. While in Europe there were no over-popularity precedent in the early 90's and SEGA went on top of Nintendo pretty hard there because it was fair competition.

[@ZorMon]

+Alexey Filippenko NES was better because of games. Mario, Megaman, Castlevania... Nobody cares about color depth or CPU power if the system has no games. SMS is, without any doubt, more powerfull than NES, but people usually dont care about that. The same thing with PS2, vs GC-Xbox. GCXbox is way better than PS2 in power, but PS2 had almost all third party games and exclusives.

[@BOLPutube]

The NES had some of the most revolutionary and critically acclaimed games of all time and saved the video game industry from a crash, it deserves all the praise it can get.

[@trevgauntletneu_gaming]

There are always different ports I never hear about. I always want to know what they look like.

[@ravengaming4143]

+Alexey Filippenko Because NES has the better games? Also more of them. Neo-Geo costed more than Mega Drive and SNES combined and was limited to SNK Arcade games.

[@alexojideagu]

The NES did not save Europe from any Crash, nor Japan. 8 bit and 16bit computers dominated gaming in Europe from 1982 and then the Master System and Megadrive came. The NES was a tiny player until the SNES arrived.

Indeed you should continue. This split screen comparsion is pretty cool.

[@kad3tuk]

WOW! The difference in colour palette and quality of sprites is staggering! Master System was so much more capable little machine than the NES. Pity, that the NES had many more and better games though as the history of gaming as we know it might have been different today.

[@JaimeValladares00]

What better games besides Mario and Metroid?

[@alexojideagu]

Did you live in Europe? America didn't even get half the SMS games from 1991 onwards.

[@kad3tuk]

alex ojideagu I still do and to be honest I get most of my console retro gaming today as back in the day I was more into C64 and then my Amiga 500 - here, they were much more popular than early consoles back in the day.

Hardware wise SMS wipes the floor with the NES. You can't really argue this. Game wise it's all down to opinion. Americans have barely played the SMS so they are unable to debate which library was better.

[@julesgamergourmand]

I had no luck with this game. I had finished it in jedi mode on the real console but not live or on video. The real ending is the most beautiful on Master system, when I saw it on my television I couldn't believe it.

[@Katz2009]

NES can do more than that, but some developers were very lazy and did not took advantage of the technical capabilities of the console. The sprite of the main character could have more colors, but they decided to use a single palette of three colors. The same with the backgrounds.

[@abu269]

There's no question about it... The Master System was the better 8bit system with better graphics and colour. NES had more success and hit the market earlier but SEGA made the better console! I own both SEGA and Nintendo consoles in my collection and not being biased just honest.

[@retropolis1]

true. However, the SMS Controller sucked. Wobbly D-Pad, no pause button and so on

[@abu269]

+GrumpyGermanGamer Ahh yes, that amazing piece of plastic designed for discomfort and causing blisters. It had no ergonomics and no pause button. We had to wait for the Megadrive / Genesis to see an improvement.

[@abu269]

Red Whovian I agree that Master System didn't have as many games on shelves but the gameplay was far from shitty. The console proved it can handle graphics as well as smooth gameplay with titles ranging from Alex Kidds, Sonic games, Shinobi, Psycho Fox. These are just some titles that show the SEGAs capabilities of good graphics and fast pace gameplay that the Nintendo wouldn't be able to handle. The controller for the Master System was appaling though. I still own both SEGA and Nintendo consoles and love titles from both but do believe that NES pioneered a new gaming industry but the Master System raised the bar.

[@BeefPapa]

abu269 Sidescrolling action games were no match. SMS hands down. Kung fu kid, black belt, alex kidd, shinobi, zillion.

[@Halbared]

The Master system version is beautiful, the NES version very good, as far as graphics go, Master system is no where near 16bit though, that's just hyperbole and fanspecs. From what I read, the NES version plays smoother, but I had the SNES version, which was just sublime.

[@scarosone14]

SMS was a very underrated system. If it came out here in N. America the same time as NES and didnt have 3rd party companies sign exclusive agreements with them the SMS would of given the NES a run for its money.

[@llllbserkllll]

I remember the very early 90's. Many systems were on the market, but everyone had some kind of Nintendo (GB,NES,SNES) and only a few freaks had consoles from Atari, Sega or even SNK. I found a MasterSystem II by accident in a friend's gazebo. The thing was completely rocked down and dirty, but still ran. At that time everyone already had 16bit systems (Amiga,MegaDrives,SNES) and no one was interested in the small MasterSystem lying around unnoticed. So I turned it on and found a Sonic Cartridge and was immediately hooked and kept playing until I made it to the end. I couldn't believe it was an 8bit console - the colors were bright and colorful, the scrolling smooth and fast. I enjoyed the MasterSystem Sonic much more than the MegaDrive/Genesis. It's really a shame that this great machine didn't find a larger audience.

[@winky1751]

[@TheAxelay]

Here in Australia the video game was slightly 50/50 with NES having a slight stranglehold in the 1980's! But that would come to an end when SEGA introduced it's SMS2 for $99, that's where SEGA would get a better foot in the gamers door. Bear in mind in 1988 a standard NES console system would set you back at $359!!! That's not cheap and the games were pricey too but the SMS1 was also $320+ as well! From 88 I played the NES in my local (bought a SMS2 in 1989 with Wonder Boy 1 & Alex Kidd built-in) mall including all the SEGA consoles as well, so I liked both sides for their strengths and weaknesses (didn't get an 8 bit NES set until 1992 for under $100 unbelievable Nintendo?!!. I'm thrown in the neutral zone because both sides, I remember NES Star Wars port but have never ever seen the SEGA port?! Seriously SEGA Ozisoft?! Wtf were you guys thinking?!! As I would've bought the SMS version and we needed as many good titles as we could get down here!!!!! Sigh.......

Fíjate en esas cosas azules, ¿por qué llaman tanto la atención si no sirve para nada? sólo para confundir. Para otros escenarios la versión de Master System puede ser mejor, por ejemplo en las cuevas.

I had a Nintendo back in the early 90's and after a few years I swapped it with a friends master system just cos he had mortal kombat the first game I bought for the master systemwas star wars, and I really liked it and got quite far eventually I sold it and put the money towards a playststion1 a few years later I bought a nes again for nostalgia reasons, any I bought star wars remembering it was a great game on SMs, I got no where near as far on it somehow it seemed harder on the nes, and just not as fun to play at all

Yesh, master system was a lot more powerfull. The only weaker point is sound. If Nintendo had not used legal tricks tô lock software houses we should had a console war as big as the 16 bit one!

[@alexojideagu]

The Master System actually had an FM chip but it was only in the Japanese version. The sound was far superior to the NES

[@Decerebrado]

Yes, but not many games used it, even Japanese ones. I think we really missed a great competition due to cheating. Just imagine how cool would be to have Megaman, Contra, Little Samson, etc on Master System back in the day... This would be awesome!

[@alexojideagu]

+Fisher Moraes Well in Europe the Master System won the console war also in Brazil and Australia. Europe got master system games until 1996 that the US didn't like streets of rage and mortal kombat

[@Decerebrado]

Well, oficially Master System won in Brazil, but there were dozens of cheap clones that were sold back in the day. But this doesn't changes the fact that Master System has a superior hardware. It just didn't got the 3rd party support it deserved.

Its also about marketing Nintendo knew what they were doing they had a good business ethic and sega not as much its a bunch of bs. Either way both nes and master system have great games

Look at all these Sega fanboys demonising Nintendo and praising Sega. "Wah Sega didn't get this." and "Wah, Nintendo wasn't fair." You all realise that Nintendo and Sega are both business companies who want nothing more from you than your money? Nintendo were aggressive at marketing the NES to North America by trying to get themselves everywhere and they knew exactly what to do with North America during the supposed video game crash. Nintendo was simply being competitive to stop anyone else from taking any potential earnings, like a normal business company would do. Sega just didn't have an answer to Nintendo's overwhelming Monoply until the Sega Mega Drive where they actually stepped their game up in North America. What the hell is this talk about "being fair"? Why the hell would Nintendo hand over potential exclusives to a rival company? You Sega fanboys just don't understand how business works. It's about domination, not sharing the wealth. Exclusives are essential to a Consoles success. It's what sways you to buy one console over the other. Nintendo wanted to keep Capcom, Konami and Squaresoft to themselves so they could convince consumers to buy the NES over the Master System. Sega had to find Nintendo's weak points and use them to their advantage, hence the Mega Drive's more mature themed console, courtesy towards violence, bringing the arcade experience home and at it's release, it's superiority of being a 16-bit console over the 8-bit NES. Nintendo failed in Europe mainly because there wasn't a problem to capitalise on and people in the UK were much more into micro computers such as the ZX Spectrum, Atari ST and Commodore 64 due to the fact they were cheap and were easy to create copies of the games. People weren't swayed by Nintendo's anti piracy and expensive games in the UK when the ZX Spectrum alone had thousands of games to play. Since then, Nintendo had always given us a lower priority over Americans. A big factor to Sega's above average success in other countries comes down to capitalising on the remaining countries before Nintendo had a chance to do so. Business is the game! I also have no idea where this "blackmailing" of certain game companies comes from. It's clear that if Squaresoft, Konami and Capcom didn't like what Nintendo was doing, they would simply stop supporting Nintendo but obviously Nintendo must have done something right to keep them on board. The closest to "blackmailing" Nintendo has ever done is when SquareEnix had problems with Nintendo's decisions with the making of the N64. All Nintendo ever said was "If you leave, don't come back." and that's what SquareEnix did and it never bit them in the arse because they were successful with the PlayStation with games such as Final Fantasy 7. Please educate yourselves before you spill more biased bullshit that isn't true. Neither company is evil and neither company is a hero. Nintendo won in Japan and America while Sega won in Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Brazil. It's the truth, get over it! Other than that. Sega's only good console was the Mega Drive. The others were shit.
