Speechless. I can't even start to think clearly about the implications of this for the future.

Sega fans are perverts. Finally confirmed.

That's just Italian SEGA fans

Can't think of a single American re-design that isn't infinitely uglier than the Japanese originals or even the European re-designs.

The Genesis name and logo are the worst of the bunch. Same applies for the "Sega CD" themes and logos. Don't even get me started on the Game Gear. The "GameBoy Advance" US font is uglier. The US SNES console is one of the ugliest.

What happened, you didn't have any decent designers in the 90's America?

This bothers me because most retro game/emulation frontends and their media assets are based on the ugly American versions. And now this will make my search for the better looking European Mega Drive stuff stuff even harder.

Cretin

Tiny toons busters hidden treasure is a better super mario world. And pal only

A friend of mine told me to search for Mega Drive on Facebook to see what happens

I did. A message came up telling me to that the term was used by pedophiles and etc., and it gave me two options: leave the page or seek help

I pressed "seek help" 'cause my Facebook was in French (I'm learning French) and I thought it was the right option

I'm pretty sure that I'm on the FBI list now

So if someone makes a massive archive of CP and calls it "Nintendo"... then what?

What do you mean PAL only? There is a US version. Is the PAL version better maybe?

Aww hell naw. I'll give you that SNES is ugly compared to Super Famicom.

Mega Drive with that gold 16-bit kinda looks like it was designed to match the cover for Ghouls and Ghosts. Very strange and slightly offputting.

Now the Genesis is pretty much the same, but its color scheme evokes the impeccable style and ruthless efficiency of an ace TIE Fighter pilot. And it puts the glorious Sega Genesis logo front and center, de-emphasizing the "bit wars" 16-BIT text which is way too large and cheesy and gold on the Mega Drive.

And the original Famicom? My god this piece of shit looks like it's the garbage truck for Mos Eisley or something. If the jawas found it on the side of a sand dune they'd probably just leave it. And what happened, did they go to the land-speeder paint shop and say "Fuck my shit up so it looks like a filthy sandperson" and the paint dude was like "Say no more, fam"

Compared to NES, like yeah sure it's mostly just a box. But the color scheme is clean and sexy, like a storm trooper commander.... and the controller is the most iconic of all time.

 

[nkarafo]

Dunno, i'm not a Star Wars fan.

I would argue the NES is the only good re-design though.

It's also the same in Europe. Which legitimizes the fact it's the better looking option.


Also, the PAL Mega Drive is the best looking:

Sounds Mega CD (seedy)!!

 

[RaduN]

You can search for Sega Mega Drive no problem.

 

[Toots]

Try typing MegaDrive 32x if you dare

 

[KuraiShidosha]

American Genesis Chads, our time has come.

Goddamnit. I own this t-shirt, but I guess I'm not wearing it outside the house anymore.
