For the North American market, new Sega of America CEO Michael Katz instituted a two-part approach to build sales in that region. The first part involved a marketing campaign to challenge Nintendo head-on and emphasize the more arcade-like experience available on the Genesis, summarized by the slogan "Genesis does what Nintendon't".The Sega Genesis Arcade Power Stick is a 3-button arcade stick. The color scheme matches the original Genesis model as well as aesthetic cues like the dotted indents on the Start and turbo buttons, it has rapid-fire options for all three buttons with adjustable speed. The rapid-fire mode is called "Megafire" just like the control pad of the same name.
