I say SNES.

Battletoads in Battlemaniacs
Battletoads Vs. Double Dragon
Super Double Dragon
Final Fight 1
Final Fight 2
Final Fight 3
Captain Commando
Turtles in Time
Knights of the Round
Ninja Warriors (Again)
Rival Turf
Brawl Brothers
CombaTribes
Captain America and the Avengers
Maximum Carnage


Any I missed?
I admit, Genesis is a good contender..
Battletoads Vs. Double Dragon
Double Dragon I
Double Dragon II (MD)
Double Dragon III
Streets of Rage
Streets of Rage 2
Streets of Rage 3
Splatterhouse 3
Punisher
Captain America and the Avengers
Maximum Carnage
Two Crude Dudes
Cyborg Justice

But SNES has an overall better lineup.

[bad side]

I played Captain Commando for the first time yesterday. Good lord that game is Generic! It's such a shame too, because C.C. is a cool character... turns out this game is a bad Final Fight ripoff... I had to play Final Fight 1 again just to make sure it wasn't this bad...

[good side]

And hell no it wasn't this bad. Why are the sprites in C.C. so damn small? I couldn't believe how good Final Fight [Guy] looked on my TV in S-Video... especially considering that the game is ten years old, or more!

Play Captain Commando in the arcades, or in MAME. it is a lot better.

The Genesis also had Altered Beast and the Golden Axe games. They may not have been quite like the arcade versions, but I still found them fun to play.

I agree. The arcade has some of the finest brawlers: TMNT and Ninja Gaiden just to name a few.
