Launching a full two years earlier than its rival, the Genesis was technically inferior. If you wanted blood in your Mortal Kombat you weren’t getting it from Nintendo.īut if there was one area where the console lagged behind the SNES, it was sound. They had the Conan-inspired brutality of Golden Axe, the brutal vigilant noir of Streets Of Rage and a smart-ass mascot named Sonic that was friends with Michael Jackson.
