Never understood this name. Why rebrand to something that suggests “the start” of something. This console was not the start and let’s face it Mega Drive was just one of the best names of a console ever!

Sorry I disrespected a corporation. I'm just saying mega drive sounds like it's trying way too hard to be cool. It's like "super gizmotron 3000" or something.
the 90s were just kinda like that but a lot of ppl still like it a lot. the console was super popular all across europe and south america too so a lot of ppl like that name.

Which has everything to do with Japan and the Japanese, since the choice of that name had *nothing* to do with the British
The vibe of a "new beginning" for Sega was also a factor, hence Sega Genesis.
I prefer the Mega Drive name myself, but I'll always have a soft spot for Genesis. It's what I grew up with.
