The Genesis also supported a number of add-on components (32X, CD, Power Base Converter), making it one of the most flexible systems ever developed. The Genesis could do things that the NES simply couldn't. Sega also focused attention on its better graphics, speed, and sound, especially after the release of Sonic. Sega marketed the Genesis as hip, cool, and edgy. These efforts were often successful, Nintendo Exclusivity Clause not-withstanding. In addition to porting over popular coin-op games, Sega executives worked hard to lure developers away from Nintendo.

The Genesis was developed with the American market and consumer in mind. They are even available for download on the Nintendo Wii Virtual Console. Genesis games are re-released even today as part of collector's editions for the PS2, PSP, and other systems. Games continued to be released internationally as recently as 2002.

Released in 1989, the Sega Genesis heralded the coming of the 16-bit era.
