kinda short
i expected something longer and more indepth ( and that the damn 16 bit console was referred to as megadrive because thats what it was called in japan and every where else except the usa )
and if sega is working on a new console it will be another cheapass handheld with megadrive games on it
Why not?!Quote:

Nice initiative, albeit poor in length and content.
I'm sure that Ishikawa-san has a lot of interesting stuff to share with the public.

SEGA'S NEW CONSOLE！！！！！！！！！！！！
Oh come on, calling the United States of America "America" is entirely valid and right.
Canada almost always gets the exact same games as the US. It's not a separate region. Yes, occasionally there have been games with Canada-only packaging (with French and English for games that in the US had English-only boxes), and the Amiga CD32 was released in Canada but not the US for legal reasons, but otherwise, Canada is part of the same region as the US, so I can understand why someone would just say "US" instead of "NA". "North America" is the better term, sure, but if you say a game was released in the US, in almost every case, it was released in Canada too.Quote:

Well yes we're no where close to being two separate regions, but I'm glad you agree NA is a better term.Quote:

Damn straight.Quote:

Yep, the "Genesis" name was just pure ingeniousQuote:

Sega Mega Drive tends to roll off the tongue better than Sega Genesis. Not to mention it screwed up a lot of the accessories and add-on names. Mega CD sounds a lot cooler than Sega CD if you ask me.Quote:

But at least people won't confuse "Genesis" for being a HDDQuote:

I've come to accept both, but I like MD just a bit more seeing as I grew up calling it that.Quote:
