Can "Genesis" be renamed to "Genesis(Mega Drive)"?

[RetroShmetro]

Feel like it can help clear up some confusion for people who don't know the console had a different name in NA

Sounds very reasonable.

To clear the confusion.

Sometimes I'll see people list both names. Even I do it on occasion.

Personally, I prefer "Genesis." To me, it just sounds cooler than "Mega Drive."

 

[ZEGA ZONIC]

Sega Genesis/Mega Drive sounds clean.

Sega Mega Drive/Genesis it makes more sense because in many regions other than North America it is called Mega Drive even in Brazil.

 

[Miles Miles]

Sounds like a great idea! I prefer the name Mega Drive.

Totally agree with Genesis is kinda like a word that has been used to name a lot of things.

The usual shit of Americans claiming themselves the center of the world lmao
And yeah, everywhere else aside of USA it's called Mega Drive.

It's actually called Genesis in Argentina, too.

But yeah, the section should bear both names.

I support putting Mega Drive before Genesis. Both names are very important, but one is used in more locations around the world, so it should come first.

True!

What about Genedrive or Megagen ;)
But sounds good I personally call it Mega Drive I heard people say they liked the Genesis name as it sounded cooler but for its the opposite I prefer Mega Drive.

Always prefer to go with both names, especially since the MegaDrive was probably what it was best known as in a majority of the world.

 

[Waffles's iconWaffles]

I'd probably go with Genesis/MegaDrive.

Not a lot of ambiguity there, and respects both names.

 

[DjQuick2008]

It was the Genesis in Canada too.

 

[aquova]

I'm pretty sure they sold more units with a "Genesis" label on them than a "Mega Drive" one, but yeah, I think both names should be included. Probably same with PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16.

We will not bend to your bizarre european standards!!!

..yeah that's reasonable to me
