{{ConsoleRelease

Unlike the west, the second model of the Sega Mega Drive in Japan opted for a title containing the number "2", rather than the roman numerals "II". This cost-reduced model is again identical to its international counterparts (bar the colour scheme), but features a power switch instead of a button.
