Ok? And? What’s the theme of this thread OP?

ok

Sega decision making in a nutshell

lemme guess, it's a sega system thread

I wish I still had mine, Safari Hunt, Transbot, and Hang On were my shit when I found it in my parents closet.

>>5492121
Transbot.. I loved it as a kid, but I played it recently and it's kind of shit. Didn't hold up near as well as a bunch of other titles.

Bubble Bobble SMS > Bubble Bobble NES

Other than that and the Sonic and Disney games I don't see much for the system tho

>>5492071
>lemme guess, it's a sega system thread

The whole meme was built around this being some secret revelation. But a cursury glance at the Wikipedia page reveals that, actually, this is public knowledge that they changed the name for the NA release.

>>5492056
Did anyone ever actually use that little joystick add-on on their controllers? The SMS's Dpad was all kinds of wrong but I can't imagine a stick jutting form the middle making it control any better.

Being able to connect a genesis controller years later solved that little issue, though.

>throwing darts against a whiteboard
Good way to ruin a whiteboard, bloody Americans.

>>5492257
They always called it master system though, or do we have to drag out the bios images again

>>5492121
It was a great system at the time. Played the crap out of Shinobi, Double Dragon, Golden Axe and Ultima 4.

>>5492242
Yeah, when I got older and realized there were only two repeating levels and one song I was pretty bummed out.

Why is its color palette so much better than NoFriendo VCR's?

>>5492056
>and was ultimately chosen by throwing darts against a whiteboard
>its real
>>5492068
Yep, what a massive fucking shame damn. If only they could have been ran by competent people we'd still be playing modern Sega consoles today.

>>5492482
Because it's a more powerful console that was released years later.

>>5492546
And /vr/ would shit on them as much as switch and ps4

Since when is America western?

>>5492056
>>5492071
oh my god this shit is still going on? I've been off /vr/ for months, I expected at least for you to get tired of pushing this meme

>>5492056
What's the point of this thread? Everyone knows what the Master System is called. What am I missing here?

It's sad the amount of people who filter in here from cancerous other boards and think we need shitty memes. We really don't. Memes ruin this site.

>>5493059
>>5493357
Maybe just talk about SMS stuff instead of pissing and moaning with the other shitposters?
I'm probably in the minority but I preferred the Sega light gun to the zapper.

Sonic 1 MS > Sonic 2 MS

>Soundcolor
I like this brand name. Gets right to the point.

>>5492056
Whew, glad it's not that faggot again.

>>5493439
>Sonic 1 MS > Sonic 2 MS

Yes, and not meming or trolling at all, but MS Sonics > Genesis Sonics.

>>5492374
It's called the SEGA System, by fully documented proof of trademark.
This is historical fact, unlike your faulty meme-ory.

>>5493059
It's called the Sega System, or Sega Video Game System.

The controller is all sorts of fucked up. Why didn't they just copy Nintendo instead? I get that Nintendo had a patent for that D-pad but surely they could have found something better. Also no start on the controller. Jesus Christ Sega no wonder you don't make consoles no more.

>>For the console's North America release, Sega restyled and rebranded the Mark III under the name "Kino System", similar to Nintendo's own reworking of the Famicom into the Nintendo Kino Entertainment System. The "Kino System" name was one of several proposals Sega's American employees considered, and was ultimately chosen by throwing darts against a whiteboard, although plans to release a cheaper console similarly referred to as the "Base System" also influenced the decision. Sega Enterprises Chairman Isao Kinokawa endorsed the name after being told it was a reference to the competitive nature of both the video game industry and martial arts, in which only one competitor can be the "Kino".[30] The futuristic final design for the Kino System was intended to appeal to Western tastes.[23]

That link doesn't work. Now what's this kino system then?

lol Now what's this

>>5493434
Might well be in the minority if sales numbers are to be believed, but onto something. Master System's gun was better than NES' in every way.
fuck dude I'm gonna go play Wanted right now
