However, they saw what kinds of games were most popular on the NES - a lot of original platformers, RPGs, and so on and not quite as many arcade ports, and they designed the SNES accordingly - along with roughly a two year gap to both get some newer technology into the console and identify the weak points of the Genesis (color palette and, arguably, sound, at least in some situations) that they can go after with their new design. Nintendo wasn't anywhere near the arcade behemoth Sega was, so it's not like they could have a specific plan of making a machine capable of suitably running ports of their arcade library. The SNES, on the other hand, seems to be a case of taking the 8-bit NES and scaling it up to the 16-bit level.
Not to denigrate those other games - it's just that they weren't the primary target of the initial design goals. Any other stuff, such as the Sonic games, the JRPGs that did appear on it, the sports games, etc., were basically gravy on top of the whole "bring the arcade home" model. I think it pretty much succeeded spectacularly at that level.
It's primary purpose was to provide as close to Sega's arcade experience as possible on a home console budget. The Genesis was, by design, basically a scaled down version of Sega's arcade hardware.
