Just This Once, Let's Revive The Greatest Console War: Genesis or Super Nintendo?

Total RecallTotal Recall is a look back at the history of video games through their characters, franchises, developers and trends.  

It was a good war. A just war. It was, maybe, the last great war.

I'm not talking about World War II. I'm talking about the great console war of the 1990's.

I had a great time goading Lisa Foiles into reviving the 90's console wars with me a few weeks back—despite the best efforts of the SNES faithful, the Genesis version of Aladdin pulled out a decisive victory.

But hey, that's small-fry. That's one game. Let's do this thing for the whole enchilada—let's do this console war good and proper. Which console was better? The Sega Genesis or the Super Nintendo?

Bloody Mortal Kombat, or Super Mario World? Sonic, or Mario?

I had neither of these consoles growing up, and played both equally. I honestly can't say which one I'll vote for—I'll just let my instincts guide me. I can't wait to see how this turns out.
