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
Only USA? I'm a Canadian and I call it a Genesis
Wait, wasn't that a Famitsu article?
I don't really agree with that. Saying "USA" should refer to the United States. Not available is usually written like "N/A".
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.

USA is USA
Canada is Canada
And America is a continent not a country.
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.
Sega (and *anyone* else for that matter) missed the rather open opportunity to push a new console out in the wake of stagnating old hardware around 2010. That was the best chance that anyone had for breaking through the current oligopoly of the console market (a reasonably "clean" and low-cost but mostly "off the shelf" design would have worked pretty well too), but it just didn't happen.
Not much of an interview.
It was shit imo . Mega Drive sounded much better and cooler, so did the Mega CD . You could always rely on the America PR of the corps back into those days to mess up the names of the Japanese consoles and their looks .Quote:
Yep, the "Genesis" name was just pure ingenious
Genesis>Mega Drive Megadrive or whatever it's called.
