A 1991 Advertisement comparing the Genesis's lineup to that of the SNES. Although the SNES launched in North America with only 6 games, this number exceeded 30 by the end of 1991. By the end of their lives in North America, the two platforms had slightly over 700 games each released in the region.

During the height of the console wars of the early 90s, this highly antagonistic Nintendo advertisement appeared in British games magazines of the era. Sega owners would eventually get a version of Street Fighter II, but they had to wait for it.
Blast Processing was mostly a marketing term made to sell the Sega Genesis. To be fair, the Genesis CPU had a faster Clock Rate than the SNES, so the term could be referring to that, but Sega was never clear about what the term actually meant.
These are the original Electronic Gaming Monthly reviews for Sonic the Hedgehog and Super Mario World, released in Issues #24 and #25 respectively. Note that both games have identical reviews, with 9/10's from everyone involved. From this publication at least, the first round of Sonic vs Mario is a tie.
