Throw in 3D levels and the epic pinball stages, and this could well be one of the greatest Sega Mega Drive games ever made…Editor's note: As you may have noticed from the photography, our Mega Drive Mini review unit is actually the Genesis Mini - the US version of the same hardware. It has the same features and games line-up as the European model, and we'll return to this review to update it if there are any changes at all beyond the appearance of the outer shell. The console was announced in the June 1988 issue of the Japanese gaming magazine Beep! as the Mark V, but Sega management wanted a stronger name. After reviewing more than 300 proposals, the company settled on "Mega Drive". In North America, the name was changed to "Genesis". [23] Rosen said he insisted on the name as he disliked "Mega Drive" and wanted to represent "a new beginning" for Sega. [25] Sato said some design elements changed, such as the gold-colored "16-bit" wording, because it was believed that the color would be mistaken for yellow. He believes that the changes in design are representative of the differences in values between Japanese and American culture. [12] Launch The European PAL version of the Mega Drive launched in 1990, later becoming the highest-selling fourth-gen console in Europe.

The appearance of the Mega Drive was designed by a team led by Mitsushige Shiraiwa that drew inspiration from audiophile equipment and automobiles. Shiraiwa said this more mature look helped to target the Mega Drive to all ages, unlike the Famicom, which was aimed primarily at children. [24] According to Sato, the Japanese design for the Mega Drive was based on the appearance of an audio player, with "16-bit" embossed in a golden metallic veneer to create an impression of power.
