Growing up I had a Genesis because I wanted to play Sonic 2. I remember 3 of my friends also having a Genesis, only 1 that I remember had a SNES and he was also one of the 3 with a Genesis. There were 2 that I remember stuck with NES, 1 played on his family's PC (ooh fancy), and 1 I don't think had any video game systems. The first real Nintendo fanboy I met was my college roommate, but that wasn't until the mid-00's.
SNES probably was better, but I had more exposure to the Genesis so that's what I wanted.
