Other thank Chrono Trigger, yeah. (I guess Chrono Trigger is a bit more involved than choice-based battle systems usually, but still.)

I'd take Streets of Rage over Turtles in Time any day, Rocket Knight Adventures and the Sonic games over Mario and Kirby, or games like Beyond Oasis, or Soleil over Zelda. I never played much of Donkey Kong Country... the only thing I remember about that one are the godawful 3D graphics. =) Castlevania was also on the Megadrive, IIRC.

Super Metroid is neat, but mostly for its atmosphere. Also, my all-time favourite SNES game - Demon's Crest!

I should probably say that I've never been a fan of either Mario or Zelda; both of those franchises bore me to tears. (That's for the SNES and before stuff, I haven't played anything recent.)

Megadrive also has the better TRPGS, like the Shining Force and Warsong... But not the FF-style JRPGs. Pretty much the only thing on the Megadrive is Phantasy Star, while the SNES got Final Fantasy IV, V, VI, Chrono Trigger, EarthBound...
