honestly

the PLAY STATION?
Nintendo game cube?
the X BOX?

whats with all the dumb names?


now Genesis is a name that will make you grow hair on your chest.

will it ever be topped?

 

[Error]

Gizmondo

 

[Coen]

It sure beats the hell out of MEGADRIVE

 

[Kabuki Waq]

fuck you man

have a ciggarete pull your collar up and just say "Sega Genesis". BADASS.

 

[SpiffyG]

Dreamcast>Genesis

 

[Sapiens]

Genesis is badass, but so is Mega Drive.

Sega kinda excelled at cool names

 

[Polari]

Nah, Genesis is a shitty name. Sounds way too geeky.

The best name for a system ever is:

Spoiler

Master System, FUCK YEAH!

 

[the year 20XX]

Too bad about the "games" though

 

[Error]

joking aside... I love Dreamcast, that name is awesome moreso than genesis IMO

 

[Stinkles]

TurboGrafx.


Worst name ever is easy: Wonderswan, closely followed by FM Towns Marty.

 

[Outlaw Pro Mod]

Sega kinda excelled at cool names

That's what's important.

 

[Straightballin]

Phantom?

 

[Teddman]

Dreamcast was the best name.

Worst name = FM Towns Marty

 

[suikodan]

Super NES

I always liked how it sounds. Especially when you had games following the trend:
Super CastleVania
Super G&G
Super Adv Island

Good days indeed.

 

[Bebpo]

Dreamcast

Although Turbo Grafx 16 and Neo Geo are pretty cool names.

 

[VNZ]

Megadrive and Turbografx beats Genesis any time of the day.. Genesis, what's up with that? Two awful "pop" acts spring to mind; the Phil Collins one and the Anders Glenmark one. Equally awful. Almost. Anyhoo, Genesis for the loss.

Edit: In addition... Saturn? That's even worse. Badass system, awful name. And I'd say Dreamcast is the worse one of them all actually. I love SEGA, but most of their console names just plain suck. Master System, that's nice. Mega Drive, ahh. Tera Drive, wow! That's more like it. The more scientific ones arcade board names like Model 3, System X etc rules as well. It was all downhill from there.

 

[CosmicGroinPull]

Yeah, Phantom is badass. (name)

 

[May16]

Dreamcast>Genesis

Truth.

 

[drohne]

every console name ever has sucked. if they call the revolution "revolution," it still won't be as presumptuous and inappropriate a name as "genesis."

edit: on second thought, i kind of like "saturn."

 

[GhaleonEB]

Genesis was great, as was Saturn. I'm also partial to Neo Geo.

Dreamcast? Great system, utterly retarded name.

 

[Wollan]

Vic20

 

[drohne]

neo geo is a good name too. and as engrish as it may be, i like "pc engine."

by the end of this thread i probably will have decided that console names are uniformly great.

 

[Kuroyume]

Genesis was an awesome name... Yeah it really is the best.

 

[CO_Andy]

I like Zodiac.

 

[daemonic]

Dreamcast and Genesis are both awesome. I really don't like any of the Nintendo console names to be honest... Playstation and Xbox are just in another category all together.

 

[CajoleJuice]

Dreamcast wasn't a good name, Genesis and Saturn definitely were.

 

[BobTheFork]

Saying 'NeoGeo' was always fun was I was younger.

 

[SantaC]

I liked Master System better.

 

[D-X]

Mega CD > Sega CD

Megadrive = Genesis

Katana > Dreamcast > Black Belt

 

[Sapiens]

Mega CD > Sega CD

Megadrive = Genesis

Katana > Dreamcast > Black Belt

I dont know, my friend, I thought Sega CD was VERY slick. Expecially the logo.

Probably the most badass looking thing up there.

 

[Reilly]

Turbo Grafx

comon TURBO MOTHERFUCKING GRAFX


:lol

 

[Musashi Wins!]

Dreamcast>Genesis

.

 

[U.2.K. Tha Greate$t]

I still play genesis, i'm playing this game at the moment:

 

[godofcookery]

PC Engine.

i mean, ENGINE, cmon?

 

[PS2 KID]

Turbo Grafx

comon TURBO MOTHERFUCKING GRAFX


:lol

Oh yeah? SUPER GRAFX is the most badass name!

It looked badass too.

 

[..pakbeka..]

Mega Drive

 

[Tarazet]

Oh, c'mon... you guys are missing easily the best one.

 

[Kolgar]

People who don't understand the art of marketing always bag on the PlayStation name, but it's one of the best names for a game console ever.

PlayStation. Simple. Descriptive. Perfect.

That said, "Sega Genesis" does have a bad-ass ring to it.

 

[Hellraizah]

Neo Geo for the win.

 

[Callo Merlose]

Super NES

I always liked how it sounds. Especially when you had games following the trend:
Super CastleVania
Super G&G
Super Adv Island

Good days indeed.

I liked the name Super NES, but not the game-naming trend you mentioned at all. Super Ghouls & Ghosts sounds so stupid.

 

[john2kx]

Oh, c'mon... you guys are missing easily the best one.

Cheetah?

*edit*
damn, the joke doesn't work too well when the pic name is Jaguar.jpg

 

[Jive Turkey]

Oh, c'mon... you guys are missing easily the best one.

Yeah I always thought Jaguar and Lynx were pretty cool names. Though Sega has some pretty badass names as well.

 

[Mr Nash]

Nomad is by far a more badass name for a system.

 

[SpiffyG]

Oh... This thread is about the most "badass" console names. Although Dreamcast isn't badass, it's a great name.

 

[Porridge]

honestly

the PLAY STATION?
Nintendo game cube?
the X BOX?

whats with all the dumb names?


now Genesis is a name that will make you grow hair on your chest.

will it ever be topped?

Never

 

[Ollie Pooch]

mega drive

and my own

HYPER BOX

 

[Version 3.0]

I always thought Nintendo screwed up when they didn't call the N64 the "Ultra Nintendo". I mean, "Nintendo 64"? That's so last-gen...as in "TurboGrafx 16". They need to get back into the groove there, and call the Revolution the "Super Duper Nintendo".

Sega screwed up with "Saturn", too. It reeked of wanting a cool name but not being able to think of one. Like "Jaguar".

 

[Kabuki Waq]

Ultra 64 > n64.

 

[CarlosX360]

TurboGrafx.


Worst name ever is easy: Wonderswan, closely followed by FM Towns Marty.

Worst name would go to Ngage.

I'll insult it: NCage. :lol

 

[SpiffyG]

Sega Saturn=Nintendo Neptune?
