This thread here
Got me reminiscing about the 8 to 32 bit era and two companies in particular Capcom and Konami.
I’m pretty sure that amongst the two of them they made some of the best games besides Nintendo and Sega, for multiple different systems,genres and gameplay.
(Oh and Treasure but they came after)
I’m leaning more towards Konami for shear overall quality and system pushing games
(Axelay, Contra 3, Tiny toon adventures)
But then I remember how great Aladin was. You also cannot talk about old school Capcom without mentioning the GOAT 2D fighting series of all time Street fighter.
I honestly do not think there was a better third party pair then the Capcom and Konami for the range of games they made back in the day.
Who do you consider they better of the two?
RARE may be mentioned but weren’t they all bought out by Nintendo ?
EA the sequel kings & square were more stick to the template of JRPGs I felt. (I don’t knock them for that. I’m just talking about balls to the wall creativity and pushing the limits of what ever console they released a game on)
Who had the better track record. I don’t remember Konami producing a dud game. Capcom Had that weird street fighter brawler on the NES but I never owned it.
Also old console wars vets. Welcome back to the 90’s playground/schoolyard times. Let’s keep it respectful. We all know how it played out in the End.
Let’s look back with rose tinted glasses and appreciate what we had.
