Erm... the original Street Fighter II coin-op ran at slow speed, too. It was the introduction of Street Fighter II' Hyper Fighting that sped the game up; Capcom soon after released Street Fighter II: Turbo Edition for the SNES. The Genesis version (Street Fighter II: Special Championship...

Interesting. If Nintendo had (been smart and) included the original fatalities in the SNES version of Mortal Kombat, would your decision have been different? In terms of aesthetics, the SNES version was much closer to the coin-op original than the Genesis version was. Then, when Mortal...

Well, yes. Sega attempted to blitz Nintendo by beating them to the punch with a 16-bit console and offering "arcade-quality" versions of their coin-op games, such as Altered Beast.

The point is that Sega and Nintendo were competing from the beginning, hence the reference for my response. It's also worth noting that the Genesis and the NES were competitors early on, thanks to the relatively late arrival of the SNES. As for an IP, it's short for Intellectual Property...

Nope. No copying. It's original content. :-) Yes, I did leave out the Bonk series and shouldn't have. Bonk's Adventure and Bonk's Revenge were fantastic platformers, although Bonk's Adventure was a bit on the short side. Indeed, Bonk was to NEC was Mario is to Nintendo and what Sonic was to...

NEC's TurboGrafx-16 gets my vote here, with Sega's Dreamcast getting an honorable mention. Although a new generation of gamers is getting to sample some of the goodness that the TurboGrafx had to offer, thanks to the Wii's Virtual Console, the system was largely ignored when it was actively...
