I mean hell, even now consoles like PS and Xbox both took the SNES layout from the 90s what's that tell ya?

I would still give the SNES the edge here due to the gameplay, graphics, sound and controller as the run being L helped bigtime while R remained block. MK 3-This one played nearly identical from what I recall on both, though again the SG being slightly faster. MK 2-Nin pretty much learned from their mistake and said fuck it, let it rock all out and pretty much destroyed the SG version as a result, better gameplay, graphics, sound and 100% arcade accurate. However, gameplay wise the game felt better on SNES than the Sega G which again felt too fast. MK 1-Ok, the Sega version winded up selling more due to the infamous blood code which Sega hid in the game so the fatalities were like the arcade and this gave them an edge on the SNES version of MK since at the time, Nin was very anti blood, violence etc. At my house, my friend's place down the block we'd play for hours every day, looking for EGM and Nintendo Power for the secret finishers, fatalities, animalities, friendships etc(back before the days of the internet)Ĭomparing each game in terms of accuracy to the arcade port.

I played both a lot, I have to say out of all of them for both consoles. Gameplay, ok the gameplay is pretty smooth on both but I feel like the SG version is MK on speed(some people like that, I don't personally) the SNES version felt a lot more like the arcade to me than the SG version in terms of closeness to the arcade port gameplay wise. Neither were arcade exact port accurate but the SNES cleary does the better job. The SNES version had much better sound, more accurate to the arcade. Sega sounded tinsey, higher pitched just sounded weird. Sound, again something the SNES version does better than the SG easily. MK looks better on the SNES than Sega, better graphics, colors etc easily. Graphics, the differences are pretty obvious when you have them side by side. But yeah SNES controller was perfect for MK and SF, but especially for MK with the block being in the perfect spot and HP, LP,HK, LK etc being much better than the SG controller.

Better controller, I think this goes without saying vs the SG controller which only had 3 buttons and start to block was just not practical and then they realized this so they made the 6 button controller. Overall I like the SNES version better of MK over Sega for these reasons:
