| 主機名稱與外觀Console name and skin | 日版與歐版沿用 Mega Drive,北美版使用 Genesis。迷你主機介面會跟著語言呈現不同的主機風格。Japan and Europe used Mega Drive, while North America used Genesis. The mini-console interface changes its skin with the selected language. | 名稱與外觀喚起在地玩家的記憶,能提高「這就是我當年熟悉版本」的感覺。Name and skin recover local nostalgia and make the product feel like the version players remember. | 介面素材、包裝素材、翻譯與測試案例增加。Interface assets, packaging assets, translation, and test cases all increase. |
| 遊戲版本與內容差異Game versions and content | 同一款遊戲可能因地區不同,出現難度、生命數、角色設定、故事與視覺效果差異;有些海外版甚至因文化或法規改成完全不同的角色包裝。The same title may differ by difficulty, lives, character setup, story, and visual effects. Some overseas versions changed character wrapping because of culture or regulation. | 在地化能降低陌生感,也可能讓產品更符合當地年齡分級與接受度。Adaptation reduces unfamiliarity and may improve fit with local ratings and acceptance. | 每多一個 ROM 版本,就多一組測試、授權、說明與支援風險。Each ROM version adds testing, licensing, documentation, and support risk. |
| 遊戲陣容Game lineup | 日本、亞洲、北美與歐洲版收錄遊戲不同。亞洲版會避開過度依賴日文能力的 RPG、策略或問答類作品,也會因授權問題替換作品。Japan, Asia, North America, and Europe had different lineups. The Asian release avoided some text-heavy RPG, strategy, or quiz titles that required Japanese, and licensing also changed the lineup. | 陣容就是產品定位:要服務大眾懷舊、硬派玩家,還是新玩家?The lineup is product positioning: mass nostalgia, hardcore fans, or new players? | 授權談判、模擬品質、語言理解門檻與市場期待會互相拉扯。Licensing negotiation, emulation quality, language accessibility, and market expectation pull against each other. |
| PAL / NTSC 顯示標準PAL / NTSC display standards | 歐洲 PAL 遊戲常見 50Hz 與不同垂直解析度;迷你主機若用 60Hz 執行,速度變順,但也可能改變原始體驗與畫面比例。European PAL games often used 50Hz and different vertical resolution. Running them at 60Hz can feel smoother, but may change original timing and image proportions. | 玩家希望「好玩、順、不彆扭」;懷舊玩家又可能要求「像當年」。Players want the game to feel smooth and playable; nostalgia players may also demand that it feel like the original. | 顯示模式、濾鏡、比例縮放與 QA 變成產品承諾的一部分。Display mode, filters, scaling, and QA become part of the product promise. |
| 語言與排序Language and sorting | 介面語言會影響封面、排序與遊戲版本。逐字稿也指出,中文排序若以日文漢字邏輯處理,就會讓中文使用者覺得不自然。Interface language affects cover art, sorting, and game versions. The transcripts note that Chinese sorting can feel wrong if engineers treat Chinese characters through Japanese kanji logic. | 語言不只是翻譯,而是使用者是否被認真對待的信號。Language is not just translation. It signals whether users feel taken seriously. | 需要在地資料結構、排序規則、字型、測試者與修正週期。Local data structure, sorting rules, fonts, testers, and revision cycles are needed. |
| CD-ROM 與 Mega CD 內容CD-ROM and Mega CD content | Mega CD 讓遊戲加入 CD 音樂、語音、動畫與更多內容;但 32X 模擬器未準備好、聲優或影像授權談判,也會決定產品範圍。Mega CD enabled CD music, voice, animation, and more content. But unfinished 32X emulation and voice or video licensing negotiations shaped what could be included. | 「收錄更多、內容更完整」是賣點,也能重新喚起沒有玩過 Mega CD 的玩家興趣。More and richer content is a selling point, especially for players who never had access to Mega CD. | 媒體容量變大,不等於產品變簡單;授權、相容性與品質風險也同步變大。More capacity does not make the product simpler. Licensing, compatibility, and quality risks expand too. |
