In the United States, Frontiers finished at no. 6 following a 4th place debut last month.

Is it specifically triggered? Because I guess I didn't get it.

May be but I don't think I did anything special before getting those dialogue.

I remember when my country used to love Sonic over Mario. Mega Drive had the dominant market here.

Oh, maybe I simply forgot. The fact neither of them had spoken dialogue made it difficult to tell who was talking.

Yeah, SEGA's first rival in UK was Amiga, I believe, not Nintendo.
SEGA Master System even outsold NES.
I heard many UK gamers started to care about SNES after home version Street Fighter II announced exclusive for SNES.
Europe even got Street Fighter II-bundled SNES while other region didn't.
It's very serious matter that SEGA even asked Capcom to make the updated version (Street Fighter Championship Edition) for them and made six buttons controller just for it.

Mecha Sonic's Betrayal Tragically Undermines Scrapnik Island



Quote
It initially seemed as though Scrapnik Island might be establishing the logic of a potential happy ending to the Sonic franchise, as it confirms that Badnik's can be reprogrammed en masse, given back free will and a sense of morality.
However, Mecha Sonic has shattered that perception, as despite being part of this community, encountering his old nemesis has dragged him back into evil.
Of course, Mecha Sonic was always created to 'replace' Sonic in the world by killing off the original, leaving Eggman free to enact his plans.

Mega Drive had the six-button controller beat at the time... despite being made later. Still a legitimate controller though.

It's more of the port than the controller though.
Also it's not being made later, it's developed before SNES Turbo but published after SNES Turbo.
The story's kinda complicated.
The first port of Street Fighter II CE for Genesis first was handled by another company which Capcom didn't like the result so they make the port itself (Street Fighter II Special CE) but making it from scratch again with the deadline's already approaching was hard.
Not to mention it's the first time Capcom ever made a game for SEGA Mega Drive.
The complete history could be read here :

It's a very long but enjoyable read.

Other Capcom games on Mega Drive before Street Fighter SCE wasn't even made by Capcom themself.
For example Ghouls'n Ghosts, Forgotten World, and Strider was made by Sega R&D 2, not Capcom.





Thankfully the controller was adapted into Saturn controller and almost all Capcom port on Saturn were good which is making all Capcom games are all heaven to arcade fighters.
Especially since the layout buttons layout are same with Capcom arcade's version, moving between arcade and Saturn was a cakewalk.

We all go a little mad sometimes…especially when you were created by an evil scientist.
Poor Mecha Sonic never stood a chance.
As his plan reaches its final stages, Tails, Sigma, and the Scrapniks race around the Death Egg to save Sonic.

Interesting... Capcom had games on the Mega Drive not made by Capcom.
