Every single console named differently outside of its original region should've been stuck with its original name. Mega Drive, both Famicoms, PC Engine? All better names than the USA ones.
>>
PC Engine is a terrible name though
>>
>>12013365
True but TurboGrafx is retarded
>>
Sega Genesis is more radical, dude
>>
>>12013374
it's more biblical and therefore not very bodacious, dude
>>
And they changed Rock Man n' Roll to Mega Man n' Roll.
>>
>>12013365
No, it’s badass.

Famicom wouldn't have sold well in us and eu. "What? You're playing the family computer, instead of a real one? What are you? A baby?"
>>
>>12013307
>"Family Computer? PC Engine? We already have a C64/Amiga."
Mega Drive rules though.
>>
>>12013307
nobody asked for the weeb boomer frog poster's opinion, you little bitch
>>
>>12013739
I asked :)

>>12013307
Mega Drive was renamed Genesis due to trademark issues.
>>
>>12014037
you're either lying or retarded
possibly both
>>

For years I've seen rom sites listing PC Engine games and thought they were PC games with weird formats. I imagine the same sort of confusion if Nintendo released a Family Computer since back then to me as a kid PC or Computer meant a traditional IBM PC. Mega Drive is just a better name though.
>>
SuFami is a much better short name than snezz or S-N-E-S
>>
>>12013307
I don't care about that, but what's lame is when people in one country refer to a game system by its name in another country.
>>
>>12013307
Agreed... except Master System is cooler than MK. III to me.
>>
>>12013307
Sorry, Famicom is gook gibberish. NES is better.
>>
What would the WonderSwan have been re named to if it had gotten its intended international release?
>>
Genesis > Mega Drive
NES > Famicom
PC Engine > TurboGrafx16
Master System > Mark 3

Mega Drive was better though.

Nobody said snes. Everyone said Super Nintendo.
