Thread 11969327

It's called the Mega Drive. Not the "Genesis". We're supposed to be playing games here, not reading the fucking Bible.

How do I beat the knights of the green shield?

I'm a PALfag and I even got called out here a couple of times for calling it that because
>you will never be Japanese X D X D

I mean, you're not wrong. 'Genesis' is a shit name and always was. MEGA DRIVE just sounds fucking cool. Americans are stupid. They ruined the SNES too with their awful redesign.

>>11969327 (OP)
It's called the Genesis because it was a new beginning for gaming.

>>11969327 (OP)
I'm not sure which name I find better. Genesis sounds cool but biblical. Mega Drive sounds cool like the fast mode on a space ship but also like a personal computer.
I do get why SoA chose Genesis for the American market.

>>11969332
stamp and shout?

>>11969339
Just Americans being obnoxious Christfaggots as usual.
>what if the bideo game console was named after a book in the bible? that would be absolutely heckin rick & morty szechuan sauce tier epic!!!

>>11969348
fpbp
Dad thought the name was weird too though.

it said Genesis on the console. I don't care what Japan called it, fuck Japan. They're all stuck on that backwards ass island drawing incest doujinshi and loli porn, eating nothing but rice like they're in a cult.

>>11969339
You are a toddler if you believe Mega Drive sounds cooler than Genesis

>>11969373
Nta, but Mega Drive sounds just as cool.

It's called Famicom not NES (what a lame name)

Sega Genesis sounds better on the tongue. "Sega Genesis". Say it. It's nice. Sega Genesis.
Mega Drive would have the advantage of the easy acronym "SMD". Currently you can't really acronymize the Genesis because "SG" is stupid. Can't have a console acronym only be two letters. That's why they added the X to PS. Maybe it should be SGX.

mega drive > genesis
famicom > nes
nip names are just better

>>11969372
It said Mega Drive on mine, and it wasn't Japanese

For me it's Mega Drive but Sega CD

I just pick what sounds best.

>>11969327 (OP)
Agreed. Nothing is less cool to the primary gaming demographic than Sunday school. Reminding people of the bible while gaming is the last thing you wanna do if you wanna sell.

>>11969348
Every console release is a new beginning, that doesn't mean anything.

>>11969327 (OP)
Keep crying, that'll surely show them.

>>11969327 (OP)
>Genesis
>Bible
Swiftie hot take

>>11969348
Yeah it's almost as if the word Genesis has context outside of the Bible, but these fucking midwits are obsessed and seethe at everything Christian. It's a mind virus, at this point they're worse than the televangelists and abusers or on par at the very minimum. The leftiat atheists have been shown to be so pedocentric, it makes the Catholic church look like childs play(pun intended).

>>11969396
you were in a cult

>>11969327 (OP)
Genesis is an Greek word that means something's origin. Immediately connecting it with the Bible doesn't follow, and tells me you still have Jewish brainwashing. It's like seeing a certain geometric shape and thinking it has religious significance.

>>11969601
>Sega Origin
>Xbox One
why are americans like this?

>>11969609
Wait until you learn they called the Saturn the Sega Resurrection, and then the Dreamcast was called Sega Apocalypse

Fucking hell, what an atrocious fucking thread, I sincerely wish death upon a lot of you people.

>are people discussing minutia of related to video games that isn't my person fetish?!?
>*goes insane*

Mega Drive is the most generic shit ever and the title definitely did not age well since people barely remember the era when every futuristic piece of tech had drive in the title

>>11969626
>Mega Drive is the most generic shit ever
So was "Playstation"

>>11969635
Nothing can get more generic than "X Box".

>>11969601
You said it, it's a Greek word. Where would people outside of Greece usually come in contact with this word? For most people they know it from the Bible. They tried to market something that to most people means
>Sega Bible Word I Vaguely Remember from Sunday School
It immediately brings to mind God creating the universe, Adam and Eve, and other boring stuff you were forced to study. Not video games and excitement.

>>11969664
Or the "Company Entertainment System"
and "Super Company Entertainment System"
or "Company [bits]"

>>11969664
Family Computer
Super Family Computer
PC Engine

Game cube

>What are hotcakes?

>>11969692
Gamecube sounds far more thoughtful than x+box.
>>11969687
>>11969682
All of those sound almost musical in speaking them.

>>11969635
>how do we name our sequel to the PlayStation?
>Something new like Wii, Saturn or PlaysStation S series X?
>dude just use numbers, why complicate things?
and they're doing it to this day. Sometimes generic is best.

>>11969692
Originally it was going to be called the StarCube, but was changed at the last minute.

You can still find ancient internet articles about this if you look it up.

Just because you cum your pants every time you hear the word "Nintendo", doesn't mean the system names aren't generic/lazy

>>11969348
It's called the Genesis because Sega knew 35 years later it would be the genesis of the meme about why it's called the Genesis

>>11969703
Super Family Computer sounds so musical...

It's called the mega drive because when you see it, you'll turn 360 degrees, get into your car and mega drive away.

If you call it "DMG" you're a trendy impressionable idiot

US SNES blows the gay ass skittles shit out of the water

>>11969665
Vastly more zoomers have played a Genesis game and listened to a Genesis song than have read the bible.

>>11969918
Zoomers weren't around when the Genesis got released

>>11969327 (OP)
Genesis is the better name. Mega Drive sounds like it fits right on the bootleg console shelf with the likes of Powerjoy and Polystation. "Genesis" is unique and has a mystical quality.
There's a good reason why the next two consoles were called the Saturn and Dreamcast rather than the Super Drive and Ultra Drive.

>>11969327 (OP)
Even without the religious connotation, Genesis goes well with the name Sega and it's a cool sounding word that's fun to say. Of course then you lose the whole Sega Mega rhyme and that's always good for marketing

>>11970037
Let me guess, you think Mega Drive is bad but TurboGrafx is cool

>>11970059
Nta, but Turbografx was way too tryhard and cheesy

>>11969987
Yes. Your kind definitely don't associate the word primarily with sunday school.

>>11969327 (OP)
THIS IS WHAT A PROPER SEGA MEGADRIVE LOOKS LIKE
