NES VS Master System

[Picketinny_Railgun]

NES is better because it has Castlevania and Mega Man and that's the only reason

 

[Bakuma1997]

Team NES here, the Master System had winner (Master of darkness, Sonic 1 and 2's Ports, Alex Kidd in Shinobi World...) but to be fair, the NES had the bigger selection

Master System was more powerful and had better gamepad, but NES had way better games library and many peripherals. I also had NES during my kid years. So, I choose NES.

 

[Fietto!]

Sure, both consoles still get active development by fans:

But the Famicom’s got the better library & history that no folk shouldn’t argue with.

God I hate the international boxart.

didn't nintendo force companies to develop games exclusively for them ? - if that's true they don't deserve a single vote at all

I don't think so, but they DID limit how many yearly releases were allowed by any given studio (which is why Konami founded Ultra Games).

Not exclusively but the contracts between them and third-party developers said they couldn't port games to other platforms until two years had passed after their initial release.

(But then on the other hand, Sega literally didn't even allow third party developers for the Master System at all until 1988)
