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

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?"

>"Family Computer? PC Engine? We already have a C64/Amiga."
Mega Drive rules though.

Mega Drive was renamed Genesis due to trademark issues.

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

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.

Agreed... except Master System is cooler than MK. III to me.

What would the WonderSwan have been re named to if it had gotten its intended international release?
