Damn right :D
Genesis is a much more memorable and unique name that "Mega Drive." A parent in 1991 would remember "Genesis" more easily when buying a console for their kid.
might be a rumor, but wasn't the American redesign supposedly based off the issue of people putting their drinks on the flat NES, and spilling them and ruining the console? So they designed the SNES so you could fit a standard cup on it anywhere and prevent people from doing it?
Best looking minis imo:I'm still perplexed by the Nintendo SNES form factor decision. One of the most unsightly systems ever. Would have much preferred the Japanese/European counterpart. As far as the Genesis name I have no problems with it. The Sega Genesis name is so synonymous with a great period of time in my life that it will forever stick.
Neo Geo did it better tbhMega Drive might not be the best name in itself, but the whole "Sega Mega" combo makes it a cool name (Or at least it did for me as a kid of the 90's).
Mexico had Genesis, too.They're both pretty stupid names. North Americans remember the name Genesis fondly and most of the rest of the world does the same for the Mega Drive. That's nostalgia for you.
(was it also called Genesis in Latin America? Anyway, it was the Genesis in Canada too)

The real question is why wasn't it called the Genesis everywhere else
Hahaha. YES.The real question is why wasn't it called the Genesis everywhere else
Genesis' design language was cool though pre-redesign before the Genesis 2 and the red stripe boxes.
is Switch disliked? I don't think I've seen much pushback against it
Genesis > Mega Drive
SNES design and colors > SFC design and colors
