# Not really
Wanna know why the technically superior Mega drive and Master System failed other than crap marketing? Download the game libraries some time and tell me that 99% of them aren't shite whilst keeping a staight face. There are many absolute classics but they're lost in a sea of mediocrity.

# True, but thanks to emulation we can do like-for-like comparisons
For example, I've been going through Nintendos back catalogue, and apart from Super Metroid all their 'classics' suck.
