columns..? really? they mean: Yes folks! another tetris clone!

Yes, this commercial summed it up

The Genesis was the only top selling Sega System. The other failures were the Master System, the 32X, the Sega CD, The Game Gear, the Saturn and the Dreamcast.

The Saturn was a hit in Japan. The Master System was a hit in Europe and Brazil. The Genesis was called the MegaDrive outside North America.

Um...Alex Kidd sucked.

Hey, let's all praise Alex Kidd! The only reason Sonic The Hedgehog was made is because Sega wanted a game that could sell more than a million copies and they wanted to replace Alex Kidd as their mascot.

True Eyanyo: Nintendo took several years to release the SNES but, boy was it worth it! I still love playing Super Mario World!

I had an NES, but I ended up getting a Sega instead of a SNES. Although, I did want one.

Yeah, the Genesis did come out before the SNES... by several years. That's what they're advertising: Genesis was the only 16-bit console at the time and Nintendians were stuck with their 8-bit NES. That's why you can't do that on Nintendo. Duh.

Genesis sucks and Nintendon't

I remember wanting Michael Jackson's Moonwalk so baaaadd!! It almost made me want to switch to Sega but I stuck by my Nintendo consoles..

MJ had an intimate relationship with sega...for those of you who dont know he made most of the songs for Sonic 3

Michael Jackson Moonwalk! That was really a game? Random micheal jackson pic.

No you can't do that on Nintendo because Nintendo does it MUCH better.

Man, game developers just got so competetive at that time. I mean, sure bragging is alright, but an actuall attack! Its just cool to watch them brag over those graphics. Man, times fly.

That was the most blatant attack on a competitor I have ever seen. Sega had much balls for that...

Haha, man I barely remember this. I didn't get a Genesis til Sonic 2, and although I was a Nintendo fanboy as some would like to call it, Sega was no slouch by any means. Genesis was excellent.

that was a rad commercial back in the day, cant beat a good jingle to lure you in.

Genesis was a good system later (the games in this ad are far from great), but SNES is what Genesisn't.

That brings back memories. That Sega Genesis commercial has become an all-time classic. That jingle was silly saying "You can't do this on Nintendo". Nintendo's NES was a chief competitor to Sega Genesis. I always love the motto at the end saying "Genesis Does What Nintendon't!" I used to have the Sega Genesis system, but I don't have it anymore. As I said before, that commercial was definitely a classic.

meh, ive always prefered seag anything over nintendo...

This commercial IS good eye candy for the deceased Sega Genesis, though Nintendo has always been better in my personal opinion!
