I love them both. Though Sega looses some points for the asinine marketing campaigns.

"Blast processing." me arse. Sega did have some advantages over Mode 7 and the SuperFX chip. They didn't need to dress it up with meaningless marketing buzzwords.

both made good games over the years and they're not rivals anymore.

Nintendo better games

Sega Genesis -> Sega Saturn -> Sega Dreamcast.
Genesis. The formation, it begins.
Saturn. Into the labyrinth, the underworld, illusion.
Dreamcast, logo being hypnotic spiral. Spellcasting. Death.

Like the Metaverse's (and many other's) reference to Saturn. Of course I never noticed until more recently, in retrospect.

Depends on the video games that a person might be interested in OP. I think Breath of the Wild was largely the reason that I picked up a Nintendo Switch. The first game that comes to mind on the SEGA side of video games is Sonic the Hedgehog 3.

The Master System was the real genesis. That came first.

That's right. I was thinking of Mega Drive being an alternate name for the Genesis, but there was also Master System (never had one though).

The name master system is similar to an "entertainment system" (its competitor) and could be seen superficially as a response and sort of 1 up. With some key differences, though, taken all together. Have to think about it, extending the metaphor "Master System" would be the architecture phase, a master system several smaller systems run under. It would be like the creation of time, space, Earth, sun, moon, etc, as a "master system" for the material world. The Saturn Cronos connection.

Just thinking aloud. It's not just the names alone, there's a lot of symbolism in Sonic and other first party titles.
