| trivia=The first SEGA game console to have a planet codename was the "Saturn" (which also became its product name), released in 1994 in Japan and 1995 in North America and Europe. Following this, the [[Game Gear]], which went on sale in Japan in 1990 (1991 in the West) was retroactively codenamed "Mercury." "Moon" refers to the [[Mega Drive Mini]], and there is no console with the codename "Earth."
