Message: [QUOTE="shinobimerc, post: 222528, member: 16073"] I'm also from Argentina and I can confirm that the SNES didn't have nearly the popularity of the genesis here. TV was full of nintendo ads and showing SNES games, but in real life only rich kids had it, the rest of us had de Sega console. And for the Nintendo 64... I only used to play it in a game shop near my house for a fee back in 1997, but it had so few games, and the only really interesting one was mario. In 1998 my grandpa bought me the PS1 and I never touched a N64 again, nor did I ever knew someone who had it. And when I saw it's games on TV, I rarely found something to envy... except for ocarina of time, of course. The weird thing was how all through the nineties there was a LOT of nintendo advertising on TV and magazines, but zero ads for sega or sony consoles. Genesis was by far the most popular console and we never got a single one of those "sega does" ads in or country, nor any of the edgy PS ads that were on european magazines at the time. The most popular shows about video games of the decade, top kids and nivel x, were also heavily sponsored by nintendo and just gave a marginal space to other consoles just because kids kept asking for it in their mails and calls.
