The entire marketing for the console in the west was retarded.

>The name
>the ads
>the mascot (pic related)
>the look of the console

Just look at Jonny Turbo. I don't think he was THE Turbographfx mascot, but he was used in some promotional comics. the whole thing is so stupid. Why would anyone be pursuaded to buy a comic based on the ravings of a fat old guy?

Absolutely everything about the Western release is stupid. The name. The design of the console. The marketing.

Jonny Turbo. I think he was only featured in a few comics, so he's more known now than he ever was at the time. but just look at this guy. He's some fat fanatical crazy guy raving about how great the Turbografx is. Why would anyone think this is a good way to sell the system?
