Did they say the Nintendo lost to Sega!> Nintendo won by a long shot!

[Grooveraider]

No, they said Nintendo was locked a fierce battle with Sega in the video game field.

[Grooveraider]

Well, Starfox was obviously $59.95 due to the FX

chip. Games like Super Mario Kart were like $10 less back in the day.

[CZroe]

@Grooveraider Super Mario Kart also had a special chip (DSP).

[Grooveraider]

@CZroe - Yes, Mario Kart does have the DSP chip.

DSP was cheaper than the SFX chip.

Those sealed copies of StarFox would fetch so much money today. haha

@Pinochimon It's 3D ran smoother than SNES's 3D. Virtua Racing was loads better than Stunt Race FX and less grainy and that was on Gen. Sure 32X made it better, but still, every SNES FX chip game looks kind of pale in comparison. I will say, KI was a much better game than X-Perts, however.

$59.95!? when i was a kid i had no understanding on the value of money, to me those $50 was nothing now its like losing my hair

[Pinochimon]

[Pinochimon]

Also go watch / read something intellectually stimulating american/ japanese drama ( anime) or books (Jp- manga). Please your ignorance is annoying, gamer fag....

[Pinochimon]

@WebVManReturns yet the system still had a hard time generating 3D. Als what about te failed addons? The sega cd and such. " Doesn't need addons to create 3D" my ass

[Nintoasted]

ALL HAIL NINTENDO. FU*K SEGA!

[RedLightBulbs]

I moved to Medina, OH in 1997. My friends told me back in '93 a guy in a Fox McCloud suit parachuted into Super K-Mart with copies of the game. And they had an arwing with a SNES inside.

Why didn't my parents break up four years earlier??!!!!
