The Genesis was a way better system than the SNES. SNES had like 5 of the best games of all time, but not much else. The Genesis had like 300 really good games for it though. Castlevania on the GEn. was better. Contra on the Gen. was better. Sparkster on the Gen. was better. Zombies Ate My Neighbors on the Gen. was better. Etc. The Genesis had a better controller (the 6 button), cooler graphics, and the best sound card in history. Beyond Oasis, Phantasy Star, Landstalker, and Shining Force were better than Breath of Fire, Secret of Mana, Illusion of Gaia, and every other SNES game, aside from Final Fantasy 6 and Chrono Trigger. The Genesis was a much better system. People often overlook how many AMAZING Treasure games came out for the Genesis. Gunstar Heroes, Dynamite Heady, Light Crusader, and Alien Soldier all RULE. Also, any game Yuzo Koshiro did the soundtrack work for.. Streets of Rage, Shinobi, etc. Oh, and Sonic 2. Sonic fucking 2. Just owned.
But I think the DS is the best system of all time.
..The Dreamcast was the last great home console, though. I think the PS2 is great -- lots of good puzzle and strategy games -- but the Dreamcast just DESTROYED. The most unique games ever.. just amazing. All my favorite games -- Marvel vs capcom 2, Rez, Ikaruga -- all came out on the Dreamcast first. Amazing system. They still make games for it in Japan, y'know.
