If you honestly think SNES games had better music, please get your ears tested, early onset deafness is a growing problem.

I'm sorry, user. That's not a hell I would wish on anybody
Fuck OP's bait. Post 4th gen music.

That Genesis instrumentation is practically ear rape. It's more crisp like OP says but I'd rather listen to the SNES version
Yeah i totally agree op, i mean look how bad the snes sound chip is

Oh wait
now we're talkin
oh hey that picture was taken in hermosa beach
There was this one loop in dishonored when opening some kind of menu (either start/esc menu or the upgrade menu) it was some kind of wobble but very subtle. Unfortunately I cant find it, can anyone who has the game make a sample or something or at least know what I am talking about? It stuck with me from the time this game released until now and it's fantastic as are the music box weapons of the guards.

I've always prefered the Mega Drive soundchip compared to the SNES one, but the SNES still had some nice music. Mostly from shit like the Mario games and the Final Fantasies.
You have 10 seconds to find me a track with funkier slap bass than the following examples:

fuck you I just wanted to post it
>or heaven hell
>my fucking face when genocide machine was what i was planning to respond with

I would describe the sound here but I'm busy attempting to curb the flow of blood from my ears
My nigger.
I'll go for the next best thing though

When used to their fullest potential, Genesis sounds groovy as fuck while SNES is just kind of underwhelmingly flat and muffled. That's the difference between a genuine digital 'instrument' and just using samples.
Desert Strike and Earthworm Jim were one of the rare series with the developer focused more on the Genesis version and gave it a better port. What are you going to post next, Shaq Fu? The Genesis version of that is better too. Why not post Mortal Kombat 1 while you're at it.

This is good shit, reminds me of Air Buster.

>screechy metallic clanging and farting noises start playing
yeah that bass was funky but at what cost
Who superior MIDI here?

Absolutely fucking nothing

Because the Megadrive soundtrack was an instrument, and it needed real musicians to make it sing.

>He's still at it to this day
Kek. Even a damn printer sounds better than that.
>Genesisfag tries to blame his favorite console having literal trash for music on hearing when he just has garbage taste
not gonna follow that link because you are very rude
good day, ma'am
>4th gen console wars
>In 2016
It's amazing what a good musician can do if they actually try.
>mfw the Wonderswan Color had better tracks than SNES games
genesis sounds like ass
The passage of time doesn't make people who like the SNES best any less wrong.
capcom, sunsoft and friends.
Can the Genesis do vocals?
youtube.com
Because this is legit fucking impressive as fuck to me.
Genesis tried to do too much with hardware that couldn't cut it, that's why SNES sounds better. They always tried to shove really harsh, sharp instrumentation into the music.
Perfect example:
how does an NES even output something like this
At least post the best track from that game dude

Sorry for the autistic story. I've been mad about this for weeks. Here's some music.

Never post here again.
Holy fuck that SNES one is fucking banging. Jesus Christ.
They're never going to return in OG
If you honestly think the Genesis was better in any aspect than the SNES, well, there is no helping you. Sorry.

How do you fuck up the SNES version so much? I KNOW it could produce music just as good as the Genesis version. Did they just not give a shit?
Not as funky but Kenji Ito really, really likes his slap bass.
Yeah. It couldn't do what they were trying to do with it. That is the definition of not cutting it.
I got mad just reading this, holy shit.
What's with everyone posting "it sounds like shit xDDD" comments? It sounds pretty close to what Doom sounded on an actual SoundBlaster.
it reminds me of ... LJN

but that ost was not that bad and The game was so depressing in a good way that i loved it
lol pic name
DELETE THIS
Almost as good as 4 floppy drives!

I've never seen anyone say the SNES had better music
I think I saw this guy at Anime Expo
First day on a video game forum, eh?
This is what happens when you let people who cut their teeth on the C64 near a NES, they showed everyone else up.
>oldtiming hymnal bitch shitting on any other type of music composition
That's not autistic, user. That's a natural reaction to remembering the smell of bullshit.
FM synths are an acquired taste but once you start appreciating those sharp metallic synth leads and punchy bass you can never get enough of em
fact
>Genesis sound perfected > SNES sound perfected
youtube.com
20 years later and I'm still mad Actraiser 2 removed the town sim part of the game.
They really could have picked better instruments. I bet it'd sound good under the Megaman X1-X3 instruments.
genesis had a better sound chip, nintendo had way better composers overall working for their games
most of the best soundtracks of the era are on genesis tho like skitchin, comix zone, streets of rage etc, but SNES had better tunes overall.
I was totally expecting someone to post MrSolidSnake745 after and wasn't disappointed.
youtube.com
Suck my dick
Poyo!
>Not a tesla coil
Really wouldn't because it would lose the power, none of the MMX tracks anywhere near as much power as Metal Squad
Genesis sounded flat and lifeless.
SNES sounded more like it could fill a room and had more effects.
I legitimately prefer his Sandstorm floppy version to the original.
The guy I was working with at the time tried to defuse the situation by being friendly and telling her he's also a musician and he plays the drums and then she started insulting him saying drummers aren't actual musicians.
It's not like I'm the type that listen's exclusively to video game music either. I just like what I like.

Topiest of all tiers.
>that SNES metal sound
Love it.
This one lures you into a false sense of security, then 0:53 hits

Why was FFV the only game in the series, and one of the only games on the entire system to manage a rich, deep bass, almost comparable to a Genesis sound? FFVI sounds tinny as shit in comparison.
I don't have a reaction pic for this.
Not at all.
The Genesis really shaped my music tastes. Nearly all of my favorite games had the sharp, powerful and music that you could really rock out to.
Or just cool sounding music in General when it was done right.
I think the big issue with Genesis was composers trying to use their hardware to sound more like "real music" rather than working with the weaknesses. Composers for SNES didn't seem to do that as much.
The best analogy I can think of (which isn't a very good one anyway) is someone trying to write flute music with a piccolo. Even if you are an amazing musician, the end result will be a little wonky.
Came in this thread for this.
Was not dissapointed.
Am I doing something wrong here?
To me it sounds like almost all the genesis music is either being played inside a metal can, or someone turned the sound up so much it's become a screeching mess.
Can we all just agree both systems made really good music when they were used right?
If I've learned one thing, old people are either super happy because they just don't give a damn after so many years of living, or they are extremely pissed 24/7 because they still take shit seriously.
I like game music because it often contains types of mood and energy that you don't get in other types(desperation and certain types of high-energy, for one thing, though 80s pop and some 90s dance actually had some of that.)
You've got house trailer/soundtrack composers like xray dog, but almost none of that is the same.
