Reminds me of that one Penny Arcade comic where the guy said the difference between "homage" and "rip-off" was whether he liked it. Similarly this seems to be the difference between "gimmick" and "innovation".

Merriam-Webster online says:
1 a : a mechanical device for secretly and dishonestly controlling gambling apparatus
1 b : an ingenious or novel mechanical device : gadget
2 a : an important feature that is not immediately apparent : catch
2 b : an ingenious and usually new scheme or angle
2 c : a trick or device used to attract business or attention <a marketing gimmick>

So I guess we're looking at 2b and 2c.

Now can we get back to the important issue here: Mario would totally whoop Sonic in a Smash Bros. Brawl match.

Assuming the absence of Smash Balls, anyway...

I'm sorry, but how could you possibly not smell the liberal dollop of sarcasm smothering that post from a mile away?!

I swear, these are the only kind of debates I'm good at.  I liked both Mario and Sonic, even when they were such bitter enemies back then.  I can only say Nintendo due to the fact that the SNES was the system I wound up getting (in '98, when the war was long over).  However, I would probably buy a Genesis now if I could find one.  Nintendo wins out due to personal experience.

I personally think super nintendo is better. Just for the fact that it had better exclusives such as mario and zelda and that I grew up playing it. I find the Sega was good but overrated.

Thats funny.  I have about 3 of them and I can't seem to remember how I've aquired them.

Yeah, I find it funny when people say they have trouble finding older systems like the Genesis or the NES when I had more difficulty finding something newer like a Dreamcast than I ever did finding any of the older stuff. These people need to be looking at thrift stores and such.

I look at stores like that all the time.  The only problem is I'm usually strapped for cash when I find one.
