Like Sonic Adventure on the Dreamcast, the game looks great and everything, but you could practically just sit back and watch the game happen, and Sonic R is the same way, they're just too fast and there's no substance. Of course that is just my opinion, but I just wanted to put that out there. I've had bottled up feelings about it for a while. haha
I could never get into a Sonic game either, they are just too fast and i feel like im missing parts of the stage.
That's because the stages all have multiple paths and are all designed to be played over and over.

Also don't use post-genesis Sonic games to try and discredit the franchise please. If you're gonna play Sonic, stick to the Genesis games.
There's also points, so you can try to beat high scores. This is especially good for Sonic 1 and 2 where you can input a code for level select.

If only the Super NES had maintained its intended NES backwards compatibility to justify the slow CPU. There would have never been this debate. Even the Sega executives would sport a SNES in the office.

That would be unbelievably rad. My face would literally melt off my head from the awesome.

Despite my personal tilt, I have and enjoy both brands; Wouldn't have it any other way. :)
Agreed.
But Nintendo's still better.

Nope. Sega is.

How about we break this into smaller arguments? I'm assuming we're talking about 16-bit wars and not the companies in general, so I'm going to compare two similar add-ons: the Super Game Boy and Master Base Converter.
MBC: $35, plays games from a meh console with no improvements.
SGB: $10, plays games from an amazing console with the improvement of color.
Now kiddies, which do you want?

The Master System already had color.
