So it seems. I've also read that hardware-wise, the only real advantage the Gen
esis had over the SNES was a higher CPU clock speed. Otherwise, the SNES had be
tter technical specs in other areas.
One thing I think was interesting about cartridge-based consoles was that cartri
dges allowed game developers to include additional processor chips inside their
game cartridges if they wanted. I heard Starfox had a processor chip in its car
tridge that was some sort of graphics processor, which helped with the 3D graphi
cs in the game. I think I heard F-Zero used it too.
