Genesis wins for me on nothing other than me favoring some of these games.
Contra 3 Vs. Contra: Hard Corps - Contra: Hard Corps is a personal favorite of mine
Castlevania 4 Vs. Castlevania: Bloodlines - Bloodlines is yet again a personal favorite of mine
TMNT: Turtles in Time Vs. TMNT: Hyperstone Heist - SNES beats Genesis for me in this one. I love Turtles in Time
So for me:
SNES - 1
Genesis - 3
Genesis wins in this comparison in my eyes
SNES all the way. Contra III is a masterpiece of action design. TMNT is a wonderful port that's tighter than the arcade game. Castlevania IV... okay, I'll concede to Bloodlines. I love the deeper sense of atmosphere because of the limited palette. It's a great work around to the restrictions.
I like Hard Corps but the level design doesn't do it for me, and I don't care for the multiple character idea. I guess Contra Force left a bad taste. Hyperstone Heist always feels lazy to me. Competent, sure, but when the Turtles are able to walk on water in the sewer, it's pathetic.
SNES
Castvania and Contra do it for me. The Turtles games are pretty interchangeable as far as I'm concerned. No advantage to either console.
I'd say SNES wins because TMNT looks and plays closer to the arcade, and Contra 3 is more aliens less robots, and isn't as crazily difficult.
But Bloodlines over Castlevania 4 any day. The sprites are smaller but I find the the Genesis installment to have a lot more atmosphere, better bosses, levels, and gameplay.
Contra Hard Corps is a really fun game, but it's way too difficult. Even with 2players we never could get past the 2nd level.
SCV IV vs CVB
I don't see it as a fair to compare since both titles go in a different direction.I like both so i don't see either one as being better.
Contra 3 vs Contra Hard Corps
Contra 3 for me edges out hard corps by a little only becuase,hard corps was more of a boss fest with short levels.
SNES tmnt vs Genesis tmnt
I only got to play hyperstone heist in it's day i so can't be the judge
