I currently own six consoles and I'm running out of room on my TV stand. I think I can fit one more console, but I'm torn between getting an NES or Sega Genesis. I never owned either during my childhood because my mom had bought me an SNES and didn't think I needed more than one console. Friends and cousins owned them, so I did get chances to play them and liked them both. So I know this is a difficult question, but which system has the most great games? The only NES games I've played are Dr. Mario and everything Super Mario All-Stars contains, and I've really only played the Sonic series on the Genesis. Games I'm most interested in are RPGs, platformers and puzzle games. I'm not big on fighting or racing games, but there are exceptions. |

Get both, you can place Genesis on top of NES, or get Nomad instead of Genesis. But if you only get 1, go for NES, I think it has more good games. Genesis has does have one good RPG, Soleil, good Zelda clone with tiny twist. But then on the other hand NES has several, and ofcourse the two originals (and some hacks). |

Id go with a Genesis for what you are looking for in games. Landstalker is a great action/adventure/RPG its extremely similar to Alundra for PS1. (I think some of the same people worked on them both) The Phantasy Star Series started out on Genesis too. While you can get Final fantasy and dragon warrior 1, 2, 3, 4 Zelda 1, 2 and im sure a couple more RPG games for Nintendo.... You might already have some of them in compilations or remakes, not to mention the high prices of Dragon warrior 2-4 I personally want to get the Shining Force series 1 & 2 on Genesis As far as RPG Games there is probably close to an equal amount. But I would go with Genesis over NES for that type of game. Im pretty sure the Genesis is also a bit cheaper to get too. (you might need to replace the 72 pin connector on a NES if purchased from someone who doesn't deal with them) |

I'd get a NES personally. But that's because I have "Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection" on PS3 (it's on XBOX360 and PSP too). It's not the same as playing with the original controller, but if all you want to do is play Genesis games than it's probably the cheapest way to play the most games (40 Genesis, plus a few arcade and master system games). |

Sega Master System --> Sega Genesis Nintendo Entertainment System --> SNES As a personally preference, I'de say go with the NES |
