>>5284684
yes

genesis is an actually cool name whilst mega drive sounds like a slogan-y name for a 1980s hdd or something

>>5284695
Mega rhymes with Sega. It's a cool name, unlike Genesis

>>5284695
>genesis is an actually cool name
Imagine thinking this and not being Peter Gabriel.

>>5284695
oh come on dude, don't be ridiculous. Megadrive is a cool name while Genesis is godawful.

>>5284684
It's called the Mega Drive though

>>5284684
It's a dumb name since it's not Sega's first console. It should have been called the Sega Leviticus

>>5284697
Mega does sound cool.

>>5284697
>Mega rhymes with Sega
Aussies out!

wrong it was the sega mega system

>>5284724
It's pronounced 'Seh gah', not 'sey gah'.

>>5284752
No it’s pronounced see-gah

More Genesis sold than mega drives therefore it's the Genesis.

>>5284752
no it's see-gay

>>5284783
Made in Japan, Japan calls it Mega Drive

Meanwhile Genesis rhymes with... penises?

Why did some regions call it "mega drive"? Such a stupid name. What we're the other names they thought of I wonder. Ultra Board, Extreme Cruiser?

How many regions called it Genesis again?

>>5284802
So if I live in Trinidad and I make something and sell it locally as the Gobsnicker, then rebrand it and it becomes the Pussywhip internationally and sells 100000x more, what should a bunch of autists call it 25 years later on a Aboriginal lightbulb changing forum?

You're pronouncing one of these words incorrectly. I'm unsure which.

>>5285132
'Seh-gah,' 'meh-gah'.

>>5284708
Was it called the Mega Drive in Quebec?

Thots call it Segamega

MAGA DRIVE

>>5284684
It's called the Genesis because it's the genesis of video games. The first console.

>>5285181
But what about the Sega System?

>>5285178
JEBESIS

>>5284684
Yes! It's a regional dialect.

>>5284684
What is it called when you reply to something like this with “STEAMED HAMS AURORA BOREALIS DESPITE YOUR DIRECTIONS HA HA HA HA HA EBIN 2 THE MAX FRIEND”?

This is a Nintendo board. All you assholes need to leave.

>>5284684
Why is it called Megadrive? Sega didn't have an earlier console called "Drive" for this to be the Mega version of.

>>5284707
It was the first one people gave a shit about

>>5285283
Gross.

>>5284695
>mega drive sounds like a slogan-y name for a 1980s hdd or something
Which is exactly why it wasn't called that in the US. Already taken.

/thread

>>5284872
The largest market on Earth did. All that matters

>>5285305
A drive is a generic name for a system. You wouldn't call something the "Sega System" (fuck off that guy). So why would you call it the "Sega Drive"? Tard.

>>5285347
(continued) And yes, I know that the word "drive" has come to mean a storage device, however in early computing it was used differently.

>>5285347
>You wouldn't call something the "Sega System"
How about the nintendo entertainment system.

>>5284695
Just like the TurboGrafx-16 sounds better than PC Engine... Which is like a computer on a train.

>>5285142
Oh, you're saying SEGA wrong

>>5285276
This guy lol

>>5284724
But Aussies say "see-gah."

Why are PC enginefags so insecure about the GENESIS?

>>5284707
More like Deuteronomy.

>>5284684
Sega is the AMD of retro game consoles. Their names never make fucking sense and are all hard to remember.

Mega Drive made sense as a name comming off of the Master System.

Master System, Power Base, Mega Drive. It sounds powerful, it sounds substantial.

To be this good at naming...takes AGES.

>>5284724
Mega only rhymes with Sega in Japan, ya silly burgerman. In Australia Sega rhymes with meager.

If you never played a genesis you w I'll never have a backbone.

The genesis was perverting SNES with its bright colors and dirty sounds.
.SNES started getting games that looked like they were designed for sega.

>>5286659
This was painful to watch

>>5289545
>If you never played a genesis you w I'll never have a backbone.
Heh, epic pwn my fellow hardcore gamer. It truly is amazing how many people on this board have yet to realize that everything Nintendo does, Sega does better. They aren’t the intellectuals like you or I. *chuckles softly*
Why are Nintentoddlers allowed on this board? They're a fucking embarrassment and make real mature gamers like me look bad for even occupying the same board as me.

>b-but Nintendo excelled at making platformers!

Bullshit, Nintendo didn't excel at one god damn thing. I take that back, actually. They excel at one thing. Nintendo excels at being for bing bing wahoo babies and manchildren who run away when they see blood because they are immature babyfags and can't handle a deep, dark, serious game like I can. Sega and Sony had games that reflected the inner darkness of my soul from having two Christmases since my parents were divorced, while Nintendo did kiddy shit because nintentoddlers are fucking babies who never had to rough it in high school like real people, like me, who had to deal with bullies and preppy douchebags since they didn't understand my real power...

>>5284695
Sega should have kept the planet names going. They had a good thing going with Genesis and Saturn but then they threw it out with Dreamcast.
